There are other states down there
upon which our fleet Will not be able
TO call. 1t Is somewhat impressive
ract that Argentina. which within our
own time has been regarded as little
more than wilderness, produces each
year 100000 tons of wheat, 5000 900
tons OF corn and 100000 tons of lin
seed and maintains It's, 000, 900 head of
livestock Paraguay Is a small coun-
try, lying inland. with a foreign trade
OF only about 81 900 900 year, OF which
thanks to our own faults the United
States has practically none But Urr-
quay another small state. regarded as
negligible quantity by Americans, has
a commerce OF more than 5000, 900. of
which this country enjoys perhaps as
much as 8 per cent. 1t may also be
worth observing that few days hence
an international conference of Amerf-
can students will be held at Montevideo
the Uruguayan capital, at which repre-
sentatives of the student bodies of coll
legos and universities from all Amerf-
can countries will discuss some fifteen
topics. only one OF them relating to ath-
letics. the fourteen others dealing with
matters as state and private universi-
ties. examinations, electives. uniformi-
ty of courses and degrees and student
preparation In university admnistra-
tion. Decidedly surprising conclave
for the capital of a country which Is
terra incognita to most Americans out
side of geographical societies. Our
southern ueighbors are we'll worth
getting acquainted with, partly for
their own intrinsic value and partly
to save ourselves the reproach OF know
ing so much less of the world than the
world knows of us

THE MESSAGE NEEDED.

The people OF Salt Lake are to be
congratulated on the opportunity of
listening TO tho eloquent and forcibe
which the Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills
OF Los Angeles is the bearer II meets
exactly the present needs OF the world
We must admit that appearances do
not seem to encourage the optimistic
thought that the world is about to ex-
perence radical change from strife
TO tranquility. The recent assassination
Of the King Of Portugal was but a
manifestation of the revolutionary
forces that seethe and boil under the
surface Of society. There may be no
danger of war between this country
and japan, but the fleets are neverthe-
less matched in a game Of diplomatic
bluff. Rioters are demanding man
hood suffrage In Berlin, Women are
stormlng Westminster Hall in London.
Proconstitutional riots followed the
suppression of the first Persian Par
lament of modern times. Haiti and
Honduras and other little nations are
threatened with mid-wnter revolu-
tions Night riders are In full play.
The trusts are fourlshing. The third
duma is about to expire and Finland
seems doomed to partition.
Such are the indications OF anything
but peaceful conditions. A friend

All the dark corners are coming to

a few weeks ago. which had Its ending

his various friends. has many parallels

Not always does an arrest follow.

Some Pointers For Voters

The ticket which will be voted at
the November election is the largest
in the history of political parties. 1t
Is more than 2 It, by 3 It. in dimen-
sions, and number of tickets, promi-
nent among them being the Republi-
can and Democratic parties. 1t in
ciudes the national ticket, the state
ticket, the various district tickets and
the complete county ticket; the first
time in the history of this country
when this has occurred.
There are an unusual number of
chances for error in voting this fall.
Unless one desires to vote straight
ticket, in which case an X may be
placed in the circle beneath the en-
blem on the ticket. Should an X
be placed in the circle beneath the
Eagle on the Republican ticket,
which is the first ticket on the ballot
next to the constitutional amend
ments, and any scratches made on
the ticket, care should be exercised
that the voter does not lose his vote.
For instance: If an X be placed in
the circle under the Eagle, and an
X placed opposite the name of a Dem
ocratic candidate for state senator,
only one of the two candidates to be
elected would be voted for. The same
thing would occur as to the candi-
dates for county commissioner or in
firmary director. If person votes
for one person after marking in the
circle, votes for only one candidate
or two candidates for commissioner
or infirmary director, he loses his
vote for the third candidate as there
IL no way of determining for whom
he desired to vote of these candidates
not marked.
For common pleas judge there is
but one candidate, and for additional
common pleas judge but one candi-
date to elect therefrom. Care should
be exercises in marking the ballot,
if other than straight ballot on this
is cast. One candidate should be
voted for common pleas judge and
one candidate should be voted for ad-
ditional judge. For circuit judge
there are two. R. R. Kinkade appears
on the Republican ballot twice, for
the long term and for a short term.
Any person who desires to vote for
Mr.. Kinkade, if voting other than a
straight Republican ballot, places an
X before his name wherever it ap-
pears on the Republican ticket.
