Consider This Scare.

The banks have taken heroic measures to stay
the threatened panic AS measure of protection to
financial institutions, and therefore to the whole
people of the country the arbitrary proceedings of
the banks in refusing to pay deposits, is defended by
the highest authority. 1t is believed that the plans
adopted will be effective and that in brief time,
the consciousness that the banks safe will per-
meate the public mind impellng the people to cease
their effort to withdraw and conceal their money.
In the opinion that the present exigency will not
long endure it is permissible to express of
the humor of the situation. No longer will the Re-
publcans of the country be able to point to Demo-
cratic rule as being solely responsible for panic
and conditions approaching panic. For nearly twelve
years the Republican party has been triumphant
had full sway for his policies Never there such
prosperity in the history of the land has attended
upon American industry The productive power of
the Nation has multiplied. There is money in
quantity and per capita than ever before. The
ports of the United States have reached high water
mark during this period And yet every bank in the
country has gone into practical suspension
Hereafter let Republicans speak quietly about the
Cleveland panic which came in the midst of hard
times and following some worlds events which had
shaken this country during the Harrison adj
ministration; and let them consider the Roosevelt
panic, which came entirely from within, without any
external melting cause, and at a time when pros
perity, progress and business development at
the highest point ever reached

disguised in the manipulation of the paid servants
of the Federal establishment has been placed be-
fore people who pleased to call themselves
free, and it is something of humiliation to admit
that the effect of their efforts has given encourage
ment to the practice.
Learning of the recent failure of Federal inter
ference in behalf of crime against American man
hood and womanhood, the people may become re-
incarnated with the spirit of independence that
caused the fathers of the republic to look with
picion upon even the good advice that came out of
their National capital
Washington will have to acknowledge two recent
failures in its interference with municipal preroga-
tives Salt Lake City and Cleveland sent back their
answers on the same day. The wisdom that comes

Effectively Rebuked.

Down through the unhallowed years of the politi-
cal past, while right has been struggling to assert
itself against palpable wrong, the Federal office
holder has stood upon the mount of information,
the embodiment of the dogma that the ruling power
can do no wrong
True to the traditions that have rendered him
wonderful thing in the of political force, he
mounted the pedestal and proclaimed the sanctity
of the Mormon at the gates of the temple
in the sanity city of the prophets. After which it
was written in the verdict of the ballot that the
hitherto infallib1e had fallen from his high estate
and that his words and influence more than
the chaff that blows before the wind.
The people gave heed to the oracle that fell
from subsidized lips and went about their business
after the manner of satiated with the nectar of
the gods and yearning for the homey fare that falls
from the unsanctied table of a common cause

A Victory of Value.

1t is something of more than passing Importance,
in the presence of clearly defined contest for the
triumph of high moral principle, that the central
city around which revolves iniquitous system
of political intrigue opposition to that principle,
has again risen superior to the influences of its early
training and asserted its claim to conspicuous place
among the regenerated communities of a Christian
Nation
In the vast audience of thinking men and women
that finds safe refuge under the protecting folds of
a symbol of government based the sanctity of
the home, there are many observing onlookers to
applaud when the Salt Lake Tribune relates again
and again the story of the victory of the 5th of
November In the language of that local exponent
of social cleanliness "it victory for Salt Lake
in that it once more placed the city before
the people of the United States in the light of
free, progressive municipality to which it is safe for
American citizens to come and reside and invest
their money, free from all dictation of the Mormon
church and free from the monopolistic commercial
tendencies of that church"
So much for the community that now exults from
the level of the higher plane to which it has been
lifted by the ballots of courageous host that placed
duty to society above duty to party tramplng the
political traditions of its past under foot it
cred another head from the hydra that sueny
guards the gateway to enlightened progress.
While the world will rejoice that redemption has
fallen upon the nest in which incubated gi-
gantc moral wrong it will note with added felicita
ton the dimensions of the REFORM for is expanding
over all the broad domain that has been subjected
to the dwarhng influence of the Mormon church 1t
is reform movement that will not halt until adj
vancement in every beleaguered stronghold stands
unshackled self-reant, apart from the blgotry OF
prejudice and superstition.
In its victory at the polls the city of Salt Lake
has reinforced the inspiration that has sounded the
doom of the hierarchy. The line of action will
move forward to the outpost from which the enemy
has been driven. This much has Salt Lake con-
tribued to the success of campaign that is general
in its scope and determined in its intentions. The
story of the 5th of November will live in history.

Fattening Fowls.

Farmers Bulletin No. 1S1. issued by
the U. 8. Department of Agriculture,
gives the following summary of exper-
ments made to determine the relative
merits of pen-fattening We. fattening
at large
"One of the points most discussed is
whether birds fatten better when con.
fined in small pens than when remain
ing at large. The advocates of liberty
maintain that the abnormal quiet of
the penned birds prevent their getting
the full value of the large rations or
induces the formation of fat rather
than flesh, while those who prefer the
use of the pens hold that the flesh of
the resting birds becomes eq ually abun-
dant and much more tender.
ITO help settle the question, exper-
iments were made in Canada, IN which
turkeys and chickens were fattened,
part at large, part in small pens. The
results were that the penned fowl. both
turkeys and chickens, were plumper
and in every way more inviting than
those which had been running at large,
but that close confinement appeared
to injure the chickens otherwise. In
other tests the conclusion was reached
that the practice Of fattening chickens
in crates is to be commended, and that
by using a crammiDg machine to feed
them, chickens Can be given a finer
appearance when dressed than those
fed in the ordinary way. ID subse-
quenG experiment, however, it is said
the pen fed birds presented a finer
appearance as to color and size when
dressed than similar birds fed in crates.
"Other experiments have been made
at the Maine station, in which chickens
| were fattened, some In small pens anG
some having a run of small yard
| The penned chickens made gaius IS
great or greater than those obtained
| by similar methods iE Europe, while
those with little liberty made still
greater gains aud appeared in every
way as inviting. If these, two sets Of
| experiments may be relied on, the yer
| dict seems to be that little exercise
is better for fattening than close con-
tinement or full liberty"

were fourteen and one half million
pounds, and in 1905 were less than one
b alf million pounds, the loss being
thus more than fourt teen million pounds
in the shipments to that country alone.
This falling off in the shipments to
Japan is due chiefly to the fact that
| the exports of 1904 and 1905 to that
country were abnormally large, due to
war requirements; the shipments to
that country in 1908 were but 8,463
pounds; In 1904. 2.649, ,419 pounds; in
1905, 14,404 378 pounds, and in 1906
less than half million, thus indicat
ing that the movements of this article
in 1904 and 1905 to Japan we're due, al
most exclusively, to the temporary re-
qulrements of the wa, period. On the
other hand, a marked loss has, for some
other reason, occurred in the ship
ments to the United Kingdom. The
detailed figures for December have not

Dor, but figures for eleven months end
ing with November show fall from
SS. .14S. .76l pounds to 2O.64, S42 pounds

To many other countries the exports
of canned beef show an increase in

which will go to work on the exten-

way shall have been secured all along
the line. 1t seems that an opportunity
is now afforded to the people of upper
Anthony's Creek to secure the advan-

a dollar to them, and they will be wise
not to throw obstacles in the way by
charging excessive prices for the right
of way. The lands secured by Mr..
Yeager are something over 20, 600 acres.
