To the occidental nations there is
curious resemblance in the present
progress Of China and the early awak-

much more seriously, moving more
rapidly than Japan did in the early
days of its modern development; it is
more seIf-conscious, more aggressively

a CHOICE Or ALTERNATIVES.

In the crises which arise in every po-
litical organization and involve state
or city so radically as to endanger
its welfare, political forces revolve
about one central issue rather than
about the principles which usually d.
vide the great parties in a normal di-
vision. Utah confronts one of the
emergencies when a local issue is more
important, involves greater possibilities
for good or harm. than any OF the ques-
tons which are usually presented in a
campaign.
The question for Utah voters this
year, and particularly for the voters Of
Salt Lake City and county, is whether
or not the people can afford TO toll
crate any longer the contending forces,
the fractional partisans, who have been
waging a guerilla warfare for three
years at the expense of its best in
terests. The question is by far the
most important Utah has had since IL
became a state; it reaches into every
home, into every business; It affects
the states good name abroad and it's
Inent of commercial activity. 1t must
be settled some time. it must be solved
before any other question of politics
can be determined on its merits. It
ought to be settled this fall. and the
Democratic platform and policy offer
a final and complete solution Of it's
every phase.
Either the Democrats or the "Ameli-
cans will carry Salt Lake county
That much was determined in the city
election last fall, when the Republican
candidate with the most active sup
port Of the regular machine. mustered
only a little more than half as many
votes as were given Mr.. Howell the
year before i'm this city, while the
Democrats actually gained ESQ on their
vote at the same time. We do not be-
Iieve the people of this city and county
want TO see another dose of American
administration such as the city has had
10 take. The open graft, the favoritism
in public CONTRACT, the incompetence
of public officials and the dissipation
of city funds, even with an increase in
the tax levy. have satisfied the aver
age taxpayer that the patriots" ought
not 10 be entrusted with the larger op-
portunities for maladministration Of
fered by the county treasury.
With the alternative of an "Ameri-
can administration. the voter should
have no difficulty in seeing that his
best interests are TO be promoted by
electing the Democratic candidates.
They are identified with no factional
fight, they are not committed TO any
mans political aspirations, they offer
the only way out of a dilemma which
has grown unbearable to mosts of the
people. A vote for the Democrats
means a vote for clean administration.
for legitimate politics, and for peace
with honor in Utah. By that same
token ii is pretty well assured in adj
vance that after considering the situa-
ton carefully. dispassionately. the
voters will choose to put in office men
whose election will retire both the Re-
publicans and the Americans who
have been making all the trouble.

INTEREST IN AERoNAuTICs.

Over a quarter of a million people
witnessed the start of the international
balloon race for the Bennett cup in
Paris the other day, which was won by
Lieutenant Lanm of the Sixth United
States cavalry, assisted by Major Her
sey, also an American officer connected
with the Wellman expedition TO the
north pole.
In 1900 Count De La Vaulx, the
Frenchman, won the contest by jour
ney of 1,1s5 miles, in thirty-five hours
and forty minutes, the journey ending
in Russia, and marking record for
rapid travel in the air. This year, be-
cause of the light wind which was from
the east and prevented a long journey,
the committee made it an endurance
test rather than 4 long5distanCe con-
test The victor, Lieutenant Lahm,
very modestly gives his companion,
Major Hersey, the chief credit for his
victory. attributing it to the majors
knowledge of weather conditions and
wind currents gained through his con-
nection with the weather bureau of this
country. In other words. the triumph
of the Americans was due to scientific
knowledge combined with good judg-
ment and good nerve.
The progress in aeronautics made
during the past few years, is more re-
markable than the public realizes. BE
ginning with the dazzling feats of San
tos-Dumont, the Brazilian, experiment.
al trips have shown that some types Of
balloon can be depended upon with
about as much certainty for travel as
some early types Of automobiles. &C.
cationally a breakdown endangers the
life Of the traveller, but generally the
airships can be guided safely and di-
rected with a certain degree of ac-
more and more to the aeroplane type of
machine which, If perfected, would en-
able the aeronaut to control HIS ma
chine at will, travel long distances and
alight with perfect safety. Remember
ing the progress made in the construc
ton OF powerful engines in small COM
pass and OF extremely light weight 1t
seems possible that the next five years
may see the science OF aerial naviga-
ton brought to such perfection as to
make It applicable for war purposes, at
least, and possibly bring ii within the
realm of practical commercial use.

Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-CalIed patent medicines con taining injurious Ingredients as broadly published Sih some journala of more or less influence, this publicity has certainly attention to this subject, It has, in . considerable measure, resulted In the most intelligent people avoiding. such foods and medicines a8 may be fairly sus- pected of containing the injurious ingre- dients complained of. Recognizing this fact some time ago. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, were, and published broadcast all the ingredients of which his popular medi- cines are composed. Thus he has conn pletely forestaIled all harping critics and all opposition that might otherwise be urged against his medicines, because they are now or KNOWN coMPosrrTots. Fur thermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that these medicines contain no alcohol or other habit-forming drugs. Neither do they contain any narcotics or injurious agents. their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots of medicinal plants found growing in She depths of our American forests and or well recognized curative virtues.
 Instead of alcohol, which even in small portions long continued, as in obstinate tionable from it's tendency to produce a craving for stimnlants, Dr. Pierce enA- ploys chemically pure, triple refined glycerine, which of itself IS 3 valuable remedy in many casas of chronic diseases, being superior demaleent, antiseptic, MntifermenE and supporting nuaxiflye. It enhances the curative action of the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark and BloOdroot, contained in SGolden Medical Discovery, in all bron- chial, throat and lung affections attended with severe coughs. As will be seen from the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover Zoe. of New York; Bartholow, of Jeffer- son Medical College, Phila.; Scndder, of Cincinnati; Eilingwood, of Chicago 1; Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand As leaders in their several schools of practice, the foregoing agents are th6 UeTY best ingredients that Dr Pierce could have chosen to make up his fa- nous ~DtscOverys for the cure of not Only bronchial, throat and lung affec- tlons. but also of chronic eatArrh In all tts various forus wherever located
