He urges that the federal government
investigate railroad accidents.
The lessons learned fro mhis recent
journey down the Mississippi river are
pointed to as being reason enough
for the country to pay particular
attention to the development Of it's
interior waterways.
Employers liability, western land

other matters Of especial interest to

considerable length in the message.
Of more than passing interest is his
recommendation that fourth class

Peoples Victory-No Credit Due
The Party.
Amongst all that has been written
as to how and why state prohibition
has had such a signal triumph in
Georgia, nothing more significant has
appeared than an editorial in the
Atlanta Constitution, entitled, "The
Late Georgia Democracy" In that
and most other Southern States the
negro peril has kept the whites prac-
tlcally solid in the Democratic party.
There have been few prominent men
courageous enough to lead in move
ments for reform outside Of that
party. Conspicuous exceptions in
Georgia have been the late Hon.
Walter B. Hill for the Prohibitionists
and Hon. Thos. E. Watson for the
Populists. The latter gentleman has
also been an advocate Of prohibition,
and in 1896 the Populists Of that
state, largely through his influence,
declared squarely for prohibition.
So in this editorial in the Consti-
tuition acknowledgment is made that
prohibition has not come through the
Democratic party organization but
in spite Of it, and credit is given for
the result to these early independent
workers outside of that party, and
especially to Mr.. Watson. Listen to
what it says:
"The truth of the matter is that
Mr. Watson has whipped his fight
against the organized Democracy, and
that is all there is about it. The
political leaven that he planted years
ago has done its work, and today the
victory is his. The breaking of the
party lines for which he fought, and
is still fighting, has come to pass"

and demonstrating to farmers the
best methods Of farming.
1t is understood that the rail
roads stand ready to furnish this
train and transport it from point to
point without cost, provided it does
not conflict with the rules and orders
Of the commission. To determine
this point before going into it too
deep, DR.. Soule addressed a letter
to the commission, explaining the
matter fully. Chairman McLendon
assured him that it would not con-
fict with the orders Of the commission.
The larger purpose Of the cam
paign is to interest the farmers Of
the state in the agricultural college
at Athens, and incidentally the dis
trlct schools. It is believed that
this trip over the state will result in
great good. The complete itinerary
will be announced later.-Atlanta

ference Of the southern educators
which for the past two days has been
IN session at the Piedmont hotel will
come to an end Friday afternoon or
evening. The definite and future
plans Of the conference will not be
announced at present for the reason
that the meetings have all been
executive. 1t is known, however,
that the general work of the south
ern educational conference to be held
next spring was mapped out and the
policies heretofore pursued by the
various state campaign committees
approved.
Delegates declare that as an out
come Of the conference a great i'm
petus may be expected in educational
work in this section. One of the
happiest results of the convention
is said to be the fraternal spirit in
which the representatives Of colleges
all over the south have met and
counselled. 1t is believed that in
the future all the colleges will work
together both for their material and
their educational prosperity.

Congress and Finance.
Congress is said to be considerably
befuddled over the financial question.
This was to be expected. Congress
is body of many men Of many
minds, and the average Congressman
is very far from being an adept in
financial matters. Numerous theories
and plans will be advanced for regu-
lating the currency, but the hope of
any wise and satisfactory legislation
will depend upon such leadership as
may be competent to grapple with so
comprehensive and far-reaching
problem, with the aid Of expert con-

Washington, December 8.-(Spec-
ial. Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Of
Georgia, arrives in Washington to-
morrow, and will be the guest of
President Roosevelt at the white
house tomorrow at luncheon. The
talk will be directed toward the
subject Of currency legislation, and
Mr.. Watson will urge the president
to recommend the issue Of green
backs under the old civil war act,
which is still in force. The presi-
dent made no specific recommends

seriously defective, and declaring
the need Of amendment to our

Railroad War on in Europe.
New York, December 6.-Echoes
Of the war which is being waged in
Europe over the control Of the
Illinois Central railroad between
Stuyvesant Fish and the Hartman
interests are beginning to reach
America, and they show that the
campaign is being waged with even
more ferceness in England than it
was here. Mr.. Fish s representatives,
are laying great stress on the point
that the alliance between the
Illinois Central and the Union
Pacific is of more value to the latter
than to the former. In reply to
this, Cornelius Vanderbilt, direc~
tor of the Illinois Central, but not
connected with the Union Pacific,
has issued a statement which is being
used by the Hartman interest as
an argument with the English stock
holders whose proxies Mr. Fish is
seeking. Mr. Vanderbilt states that
the alliances with the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific are of the
utmost value to the Illinois Central
and that if Mr.. Fish is successful in
obtaining control Of the road his
attitude will make it impossible for
those roads to continue their rela-
tons with the Illinois CONTRADICTION

Summary of Presidents Message
Succinctly Told in Paragraphs.
The annual message Of President
Theodore Roosevelt, read before the
joint session Of both houses Of the
Sixtieth United States Congress,
contains thirty thousand words.
The president recommends federal
licenses or national charters for
corporations.
He recommends that any revision
Of the tariff be postponed at least
until after the election.
He proposes that the congress
appropriate money necessary to de-
fray the expenses Of the leading
national parties in presidential
elections.
Of most vital Importance from the
viewpoint Of the President is the
recent financial depression or string
eney, pointing to the moral lesson
Of purgation Of dishonest business
methods.
The author Of the message urges
prompt action as to a definite cur
rency plan, though the minutia of
the proposition receives no tangible
suggestion from the president.
Relative to the currency plan, how
ever, the president suggest that it
must be Of sufficient elasticity to
enable it's speedy retirement after
the financial strigency be passed.
The president follows his previous
declarations as to railroads and cor
porations, advocating all the publicity
possible in regard to the inside work.
ings Of giant corporations through
out the country.
He emphatically urged federal in
corporation or conditional licenses,
which, together with a wholesome
governmental supervision, he believes
would prevent a great deal Of dis
honesty which has been prevalent in
the past In the various channels Of
business and trade.
The present tariff system, the
president says, is responsible for
the excellent balance which prevails
between our expenditures and income,
pointing with pride to the yearly
average of $31, 100000.
He is of the opinion that the
tariff system should be given careful
scrutiny to prevent any tendency to
growing abuses in the administration
Of this important feature of the
government.
The president is heartily in favor
of an income tax, though he says he
speaks with reverence due to the con-
trary decision Of the United States
supreme court on the subject.
1t is the opinion Of the president

unafraid into the lengthening
shadows.
The boy who is dead is spared
the tragedy. He is spared the
heat and the burden Of the day.
In the gentle sunlight of the
morning he has entered into ever
lasting peace. For him there will
be no tears, no more suffering.
The grief Of his parents is too
poignant today to permit of any
thoughts save of their present
affection. But as the tomorrows
come and 60 they will dull the
edge Of grief and bring to those
who mourn, not forgetfulness,
but knowledge, the knowledge
that the goodGod doeth all things
well.

Neither team could score in
the second half. 1t was nearly a
straight punting game and very
few line bucks were tried. A fea-
ture of this half was the good
playing Of the Aggies. The ball
was held in University territory
two-thirds of the time, and the
Logan boys outplayed the locals,
although they could not score.
Brossard tried drop kick for
goal, but failed, scoring a touch
back. The men played rough and
the Varsity team was penalized
twice because of Russell using his
hands in defense. Andrews made
a sensational forty-yard run,
which looked like a sure touch
down. He had clear field ahead
of him, but Grant tripped him
up from behind on the eight-yard
line. Egbert's fine playing in
this half was the feature. Convill
would punt across the field and
Egbert would recover the lost
ground. Near the close of the
last half Brossard punted. The
ball went through Richardson s
hands and COnville picked it up.
Frew tackled him just as he punt
ed and Umpire Teetzel claimed
foul and ordered Frew from the
field. The matter was finally
Strengthened out and Frew allow.
ed to play, Convill would never
have kicked the ball had Frew
been ten feet from him. Claim was
made that no one can interfere
with the fulback when kicking
the ball. but in a scrimmage the
question arose, how is one to
know when a kick is to be made
during each play, and it would be
foolhardly to wait for results. Egg
bert recovered the bali and adj
vanced it twenty-five yards, the
pigskin resting on the Varsity
thirty-yard line when time was
called"

Sloan Funeral.

George, sixteen or seventeen
year old son of Robert w. and
Mrs. Nettie Sloan, died last Fri
day evening, the result Of inf1am-
matory rheumatism. The funeral
service was held at the family
residence Sunday at noon, Bishop
B. G. Thatcher, Edmund Spencer
and w. s. Langton speaking
kindly of the deceased and offer
ing words of love and sympathy
to the bereft parents. A vocal
quartette consisting of Messrs.
Frank Baugh, B. g. Thatcher, M.
j. Ballard and G.. w. Thatcher,
and string quartette composed
of Prof. Spicker, George w.
Thatcher, Miss Phyllis Thatcher
and Mrs. Linnartz, rendered APP
propriate music. Mr.. and Mrs.
Sloan have the sincere sympathy
of wide circle of friends who

AIDS editorial expression, as fol-
lows:
ellis sun has gone down while
it was yet morning"
AS they mingle their tears over
a new-made grave at Logan to-
day many a heart will throb in
keenest sympathy with Mr., and
Mrs. Robert w. Sloan. To them
has come one of the greatest
tragedies of life. the loss of son
in the first bloom of boyhOod. At
a time when he was becoming the
'comrade Of his father. the cham
pion of his mother, the boy has
been called to eternal rest.
There are episodes in the lives
of every one of us when human
sympathy is pitifully weak, tragi-
cally Ineffective; there are heart
wounds for which no earthly
balm may be found. To even offer
sympathy seems almost a pro-
fanation, and yet there must be
for those who are stricken some
comfort in the knowledge that
there are hearts that go out to
them. hearts that know how to
feel for them and with them the
weight of the tragedy that is
theirs.
Always in death there are liv-
ing who are wounded. And al
ways consolation may be found.
Even in case like this where, in
the flower of his youth, a beloved
boy is taken. the palliation is
concealed beneath the pain. This
world at best is but little jour
ney towards the infinite. The
paths of some lie in pleasant
places. AS they walk along they
pass nearly always through flow
ers spread out beneath sky of
clearest blue, across a land that
is flooded with sunshine.
But into every life must stalk
the grim figure of tragedy, With
some it is constant companion,
with Others only a chance
acquaintance. No human being
lives long without it, though.

BET TER RAISE APPLES.

During the past fifteen years horti.
culturists at the Agricultural College
have been trying to make Cache Val.
ley people understand that conditions
for apple growing here are fully the
equal Of the most favored sections
elsewhere. The bench lands OF this
valley will produce - finely favored,
as beautifully colored, as large and a.
perfect apples as can be grown any
place 10 the country, so say the ex.
perts, and one after another OF the
big fellows at the A. G. have hammer.
ed away at the public trying to stir up
an interest along horticultural lines.
In the past two or three years several
fair.sized commercial orchards have
been put out In Cache Valley, but it's
over In Bear River valley where the
real activity Is. In recent years hun.
dreds Of acres OF trees have been
planted, and just now some OF the
fruit men are beginning to see the
results.
For instance one man is selling his
apples at from 81 500 to $500 an
acre. His No. rs bring sl.4O a box,
and his No. 2's sl.25 a box.
Another man picked 1900 boxes Of
large, marketable apples from Us
trees.
Another will market about 5000
boxes from a ten-acre orchard and get
for his crop about s6,5OO
These are bonifide instances OF apple
conditions In Bear River Valley, and
horticulturists agree that Cache Val
ley conditions are equal to aud even
better 10 places than Bear river offers,
and In comparison with Colorado fruit
growing conditions, either place has
the advantage. An expression from
G. NJ. Holzinger, fruit buyer for Stacy
& Sons. Minneapolis, is Of particular
interest. The Tremonton Times
quotes him as follows:
HE says the fruit here, where the
orchards are properly cared for,is fully
equal, both In quality and yield per
tree, to the best orchards Of Colorado,
and apples Of that state now command
the highest prices In the eastern
markets. The freight rates from Utah
after this season will be the same as
from Western Colorado.
Owing to climatic conditions the
Utah orchards are less liable to dam
age from frost than Colorado orchards.
In the apple districts OF Colorado,
land readily sells at more than double
the present price of land In the Bear
River Valley. The best bearing or
chards in Colorado have sold as high
az $4,000 an acre, and they pay good in
terest on this price. Owners OF Utah
orchards do not as rule take as good
care OF them as do the fruit growers OF
Colorado, but II they will do so, and
will grow apples in sufficient quaint
ties to ship train load lots, the profits
here will be equal or greater than in
Colorado, for the reasons stated.
"Messrs. Stacy, Holzinger and other
fruit experts, by purchasing 100 acres
of land in this valley, which they have
set to fruit trees, have shown their
faitu in Bear River Valley orchards. +"
