PATRIOTIC UTTERANCE.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March r.
with two demagogues running
for president-or rather. one run
ming and the other occupying the
presidents chair-it is danger
Gus situation tor business men and
business companies" says Captain
j. I. Jones OF Gulfport, Miss,
president and principal owner OF
the Gulf & Ship Island railroad.
in letter to an official here.
The demagogues referred to are
Theodore Roosevelt and Bryan.
THE recent change of laws and
the enactment of the rate bill, ),
continued President Jones, land
the antagonistic feeling through
out the country against the rail
roads and other corporations
which have made the country
great and grand and caused thou
sands of people to become wealthy
is a strange phenomenon.
"Why the people would turn
against their greatest benefactors
is almost unaccountable. With
every legislature increasing the
taxation and the hostile feeling
of juries, investment for railroad
extension is a precaIious propo
sition, and l certainly do not wish
to spend any more money until l
see brighter future"
The above remarks quite freely
and accurately reflect the senti-
ment that pervades corporation
circles regarding public men who
see the dangerous drift of the
times. Never perhaps in the past
fifty years have there been two
such popular idols as Roosevelt
and Bryan. OF opposite politics,
still both are without a question
loyal to the common people. They
both have ideas of what is neces-
sary to be done to correct the
evil conditions and each is con
vinced that his remedy is the best.
Their enemies are the common
enemy of both the people and the
country. 1t is an indication OF
what the people should do when
railroad magnates so viciously
assail these two great defenders of
the weak and oppressed. Should
BRYAN and Roosevelt be nomin-
ated for President in 1908 it would
be interesting to see which horn
of the dilemma the corporations
would take. 1t would be case of
heads you win, tails l lose.

busy hive of bees. The com
pletion of the railroad to this
point this summer will neces-
sarily mean a great deal of build
ing and other work on the line
and the building boom in other
lines here will insure ample en-
ployment for all the labor that
can be brought here. In fact,
with the amount of work that is
certain to be undertaken it is
doubtful if enough labor can be
secured to finish it. Cottonwood
will indeed be a busy place this
year and will invite many people
from other points to come here
to invest.

We would respectfully sug-
gest to the republican leaders of
the state who believe in Mormon
control, that to thoroughly famil-
iarize ourselves with it's teachings
we, the would-be laymen, should
be given a copy of the Book of
Mormon and should be taught
lessons in obedience, so that
there shall be no re-occurance of
the disgraceful scenes enacted in
Boise last winter when some
twenty republicans actually bolt
ed the time honored respect of
obedience to church superiors.
We must be taught humility and
obedience so that better results
may be gained to our masters.

Lewiston recently had a "clean
up" day, when men, women and
children got out with rakes and
shovels to clean away the rub
bish that had accumulated dur
ing the winter, the city furnish
ing the teams to haul the stuff
away. A similar move could be
made here to advantage as soon
as the ground becomes dry
enough to clean over. A great
deal of rubbish always accumu-
lates during the winter and if it
was all cleaned up and carted
away to the dumping grounds
east of town the appearance of
our city would be much improv-
ed and its general healthfulness
maintained.

A merchant recently remarked
that it was a difficult thing to
take one who has no need for or
interest in an article and by adj
vertising interest and create in
him a desire for that article. 1t
is. Trying to sell trousers to
women or warming pans to the
inhabitants of the Sandwich is
lands results in failure. But
there is a sale for everything
that is made somewhere, some
time. There are plenty of people
that will buy the goods if it is
properly presented and suggest
ed to them. They have the in
terest in the goods but it is dor
mant; they have the need for the
goods but do not know it. 1t is
merely up to the advertiser to
awaken this dormant interest
and sell the goods. New West

Computions recently made have
established the fact that during
the last twenty-five years ], 900.
900 suicides have occurred in Eu-
rope, the frequency of this crime
having increased in that country
during sixty years, from 1910 to
1900, 400 per cent, while the po-
pulation has increased but 60 per-
cent. To a similar magnitude in
America the evil of self destruc-
ton has grown. Rapid increase
of this crime concurrently with
increase of divorce proceedings
and juvenile crimes has afforded
matter for widespread comment
and speculation. By almost
every Investigator rapid raise in
the number of these crimes has
been attributed to lack of relig-
ious moral influence; universal
prevalence of free thought, con-
sequence of its acceptance, a
phase of thought which for many
years vaunted an influential fol
lowing in the large cities both of
Europe and America; especially
in Paris, London and New York.
One school of ee-thinkers holds
that suicide in many instances is
not only justifable, but, by the
laws of nature, demanded.
"The modern tendency to sui
eide, says an authority on the
subject, ''has its true cause in
the religious decadence of our
times. From this fact we may
judge of the ignorance of religion
as an element in the life of hui
manity. A conception of the
world which is based on religion
renders every condition of life
supportable, even the lot of Job.
The want of religion renders life
insupportable on even the slight
est reverse. "

Never during our entire life in
the west can we say that we
have seen as much moisture in
the ground as this spring. The
soil is simply overlooking with it
everywhere and the roads are in
a worse condition than ever be-
fore, yet in spite of the dis
advantage it puts everyone to
the moisture means much to all
the residents of our state as it
insures abundant crops to the
farmer and gardener, plenty of
grass on the range for the stock
men and abundant prosperity to
the tradesmen and laborers who
depend on the first named for
their years living and earnings.
1t is true the bad roads are a sad
handicap to traffic but a couple
weeks of dry weather will dc
wonders to better them and
nothing we could do would better
the crops if they lacked the
moisture necessary for their
growth.
