WISE LOYALTY.

The first step toward remedy Of an
evil is to make Acknowledgements and
measurement of the evil; then il peo-
pie are conscientious and intelligent.
and if the wrong is at all remediable,
! the application Of correction naturally
| follows.
The opponents of American party
rule in Salt Lake are seriously disap.
pointed They desired that the party
and the officials which it elected, should
perpetuate whatever errors have crept

magnify those errors; and that il
should give to the party's opponents
an opportunity to attack the admins.
tration and cast il from power. The
last thing which the n.Americans Of
Salt Lake desired was that the party
should recognize for itself any existing
wrong of intention or negligence, and
harmoniously proceed 20 a rectifca.
ton.
The wisdom as well as the patriotism
Of directing American party attention
to needed reforms is thus made appa.
rent
First, it, was the duty Of the party to
give as good an administration to the
affairs Of Salt Lake as was possible by
men Of loyalty and ability; and it was
an equal duty of public commentators
within the party to portray to party
leaders and officials any lack of high
purpose and desired achievement, when
such lack was occasioned by willful
sclhshness or mistake.
Second, il was the duty of the party
TO reform itself, whenever such reform
was necessary. without waiting for the
accusation or the attack of enemies of
the party and the enemies of progress
in Utah.
The Tribune reiteTates that il was
great disappointment 10 the foes of
the American party 10 find that the or.
gans OF that party dared to criticise
and were determined to hold their own
party TO as strict an account as they
would mold the opposition.

dry farms.
The experiences and results from
Utah S dry farms, told and shown by
those practical men who have charge
of them, ought to be strong features of
the Dry Farming Congress. Others in
other States have also been experiment
ing along similar lines, and the inter
change Of experiences and accounts of
methods ought to be of the highest
value. And, anyway, it shows immense
progress and augurs exceedingly well
for the future of the work in this line

promoters and workers in dry farming
have got to the point where there are
enough of them to hold congress, and
when their labors are of sufficient i'm

The dry farming experiments have
convinced every attentive mind that in
the ordinary use Of irrigation water,
far more is commonly applied to the
soil than is necessary, and that with
proper and frequent cultivation, much
more area could be sufficiently titled
than is now under plough, were the
prior appropriations of water content to
share what they do not actually need,
with those who have none.
Utah has very great area which
could be cultivated but is not. Dry
farming is in a hopeful experimental
stage for very much of this. Scientific
farming, soiH culture. improved meth
ods, are the reliance of the dry farming
propaganda, And Utah, which can ben

THE CAR AND COAL SHORTAGE

The report of Mr.. franklin X. Lane,
chairman Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission s committee of investiga-
tion into the coal shortage in North
Dakota, is Of great interest. He finds
the nub of he matter in the fact that
the long hauls took the cars TO such
an extent that cars were NOT available
for the comparatively short haul OF
a low.cass commodity Two factors
combined, it appears, against the coal
transportation; it paid better to haul
higher class Of merchan ndise, and il
paid still better 70 haul this higher
class OF merchandise the greater dis
tance And as this nigh class freight

bine S terms, there was "indisputsble
proof OF the existence of such com
bine, but none Of the allegations were
sustained by any proof, that 1T

"nor that the railroads were party in

Of which is probable enough; for, A

BLUSH AT LIVING ART"

London, May S.-A campaign Is be
ing waged against living statues which
have lately become feature of music
hall entertainments over here. Public
opinion is considerably divided as to
the propriety of these exhibitions
They have been condemned by the
archbishop of Canterbury and Other
prominent clerics, and deputation
-of protests is to be received by the
London county council.
In Manchester the authorities al
ready have taken action and, as a
result, music hall manager has
agreed to withdraw his living statuary
w. T. Stead, who some time ago wit
messed display by La Milo, one OF
the first women to pose in this fash
ion, expressed the view that ''the ex
hibitions are indecent as statuary is
indecent, no more and no less
Music hall managers regard the liv
ton of all that is best in sculpture
Among the adherents of this view is
the chairman of the music halls com
mittee of the London county council
who does not consider the displays
harmful so long as the exhibitions par
take strictly of the nature of tableuS
and the performers do not move in
the presence of the audience.
Among the critics Is Hamo Thor
neycroft, an eminent sculptor, who, on
being interviewed, said: $50 far from
stimulating interest in art, these
shows simply vulgarize it. What do
people so to see them for? To admire
art? Certainly not. They go to graft
fy their low and depraved taste
After all. however, the living stat
ues appeal only to a limited section OF
the public and many people agree in

der the old system because they never
have any spoiled butter to cause the
loss. The ranchmen and their wives
are making twice the money as they
did under the old system and with
vastly less labor.
The creamery has built up big de-
mand for its butter at fancy prices
and the dairymen are increasing their
herds. The institution pays out thou
sands OF dollars In cash every month
for milk and the patrons ask no credit
for groceries at the local stores.
What is true Of the San L,iis valley
will be true OF Durango and La Plata
county. Now is the time to move in
this direction. We must interest cur
farmers in the project. Success de-
pends almost entirely on their efforts
and willingness to do their part.
AS stated in the opening OF this ar
ticle. the packing house Is practically
settled and we feel certain It will not
be very long before work Is started
on the plant.
Let us move forward in every direc.
