Saturday Evening Post Shame

Country Merchant.

The Saturday Evening Post has COM
mitted hierarc hical lese maieste Of the
most daring and culpable sort. In its
most recent issue it draws a shameful
picture of. Joseph f. Smith s political
pet, Apostle Reed Smoot. and describes
that man of God in most unkindlY
way The manner of It's treatment of
the subject of its article is sbominable
indeed, and doubtless il will now be
turned over to the buietings of Satan,
Does not the Post know that Reed
Smoot bears upon his brow and shout
derS the double dignity of an apostle
ship and a Senatorship9 And does it
not know that he was invited to attend
a musicale at the White House the
other evening, and that he c0ndescend-
ed to accept 1T? Or does the Post never
read the Deseret News and its special
Washington dispatches'
This is the way in which the brutal

as strong in his self claimed infalli
bility and completeness as Napoleon,
Such are prone to utter the note of
warning, and it is surprising how
loud and frequent is that note. Many
OF the most esteemed newspapers and
publicists of this country arc max"
ing daily utterances of their fear
that the tendencies of the President are
as dangerous for the future as they
arc subversive in the present of
the ideals which animated the
founders of Rcpublc-whose citizen
ship should be equal, and whose depart
ments of Government should be CO.
ordinate and no one of which should
be controlled by the other.
Viewed in the academic sense, there
may be justification for the alarm,
since tendencies in time become fixed
purposes; but there can be no justified
fear Of permanent tyranny or dictator
ship under the practice of Theodore
Roosevelt, for he has given to the
Nation his word of honor that he will
not be candidate for reelection,
and. therefore. in two years from the
fourth day of March next his successor
will be inaugurated in the Presi-
Dental chair. Thus. if there be the
vast good in Theodore Roosevelt which
his admirers claim-and the claim is
not without justice-his successor will
find satisfaction in the precedent
established; and if there shall have
been dangers his successor can, by sa.
gacious patriotism, avoid these

ALFALFA AND THE CLUB.

Harrison Parkman, the first planter
Of alfalfa in the United States, is dead
His life came to an end in Topeka,
Kansas, few days ago.
Since history began the world has
been singing the praises of heroes Of
the sea; 1T has perpetuated III statue
the fame of its coDquerors in war; the
poet. the sculptor. the painter, the musi-
cian-the achievements of all Of these
have been impcrishably recorded. But
famous as have been their works, that
which Harrison Parkman has accom-
plished for his country and for human
ity is no whit less praiseworthy. 1t was
he who brought from South America
the first alfalfa seed that was ever
planted lin this Republic. BY that sim
gle act he established one Of the great
est benefactions which have gone into
the work of upbuildinG this Nation.
Largely by reason Of his enterprise it
has been possible to establish In the
Businesses of these rugged mountains
and over the broad cxpanse of the vast
plains of this country an agricultural
empire which is the modern wonder. So
long as history shall be written the
results Of Parkman's s good work will
make themselves felt in the affairs of
men.
Every farmer and every stockraiser
in this Western country owes it to Har.
rison Parkman to bear the man 9

has been one of the valuable agencies
in their advancement. The wonderful
vitality of the plant enables 1t to sur
vivc the rigors of arid and semi-ard
climates, furnishing TO these regions al
otherwise impossible abundance Of
forage.
And who does not remember our Owl
| Quill Nebeker and his band of thrifty
and sun Drowned chaps who constituted
the Alfalfa Club? Always aiming fo
the good and the fame of the alfalf;
regions, these sturdy lads have an op
portunity here to make Themselves
worthy of their name. Without Park
man there would have been no alfalf'
in America, and without alfalfa there
could have been no Alfalfa Club, anc
