GET A GOOD WARDEN.

Whoever may be named as state
game warden during the term OF Gov
ernor Spry. it is to be hoped definite,
effective policy of preservation for the
states resources in game and fish may
be inaugurated and carried out. The
revenue from licenses is large enough
now TO provide an adequate fund for
extended supervision OF fishing and
hunting and the complete enforcement
Of the law. Heretofore the destruction
of this most valuable resource has been
permitted to go on with little interfer-
ence. and at times with the connivdnce
OF the deputy game wardens. In soaIe
instances of common knowledge the
game warden has been an inveterate
pot-hunter. bringing the law into CON
tempt and using it only as means Of
personal profit for himself and lis
friends
Fortunately. the people of the state
are beginning to realize that the time
has come for rigid protection if the fish
and game of the state are not to be ex-
terminated entirely Public sentiment

tration in the state warden's office. and
the governor owes it to himself AMI
the state to see that the right man is
given the office.
Provision should be made for the APP
pointment of deputies by the state, and
not by the county commissioners. The
old system has proved that the depu-
ties will not prosecute their neighbors.

preservation of what is now about the

WORLDWIDE DEPRESSION.

A falling off in trade is noticeable all
over the world, as we'll as in the United
States. According to the bureau OF
statistics, twenty-five of the principal
countries show a falling of i'm exports
and nearly two-thirds show a falling off
In imports. 1t is probably true that our
panic Of 1907 was felt abroad to almost
as great an extent as at home. and tine
conditions in Great Britain today are
worse than on this side of the Atlantic.
The manufacturing industries have
been stagnant in both countries. but
our bumper crops, largely marketed in
Europe, serve TO keep the wolf frcm
the door
IL didn't matter much, after ali.
whether Bryan or Taft secured a ma
3ority of the electoral votes SO far as
the revival of business is concerned.
There was boom in Wall street i'm
mediately after the election and prices
have been going up and down altor-
nately ever since. If Bryan had baen
successful: Wall street would have
hammered down prices for 4 day or two
and then rise would have followed, the
break and the game would be played
precisely as it is being played today.
But the revival of trade and the start
ing up Of the factories am mills have
not come TO pass TO any greater extent
Following Republican victory than
would have been the case had the Dem
ocrats been successful. The process of
recovering from panic is vers slow
and the figures show that many months
must elapse before anything ike mr.
mai conditions are reached. Fortu-
nately, Utah has not been vitality af-
fected by the depression.

lust COMMON SENSE.

This man BransfoId has some queer
notions about his duty as mayor. Mon
day night he sent in the appointment
TO the board of public works of T. j.
Armstrong BY all the rules of politics
that appointment is wrong; Mr.. Arm
strong is no politician to begin with. he
has not been distinguished for activity
in the party which controls the city ad-
ministration and he is regarded as a
first-class business man. Worse STILL
he actually knows something about the
kind of work he will be called on to
supervise in his capacity as a member
of the board. and that is an almost UNI
precedented thing in the position.
In most appointments, the men who
have rustled votes. been active in cam
paign strategy and organization are
supposed to have first call on any va
cancy in Office. 4 number of the
American" patriots who fought, blei
the public and corraled the conventions
remain 10 be cared for. and yet the
mayor has gone out of his way 10 get
a man for this place who is able to tell
concrete from plaster of paris. and
knows the difference between a blow
pipe and good sewer connection.
OF course. everybody will concede
that Mr.. Armstrong; appointment is
in the direction of better work for the
city: sidewalks like the scandalous Job
which called forth so many protests
from citizens in the southeast part of
the city may pass an inspector who
knows the contractor, but they are not
likely to get by Mr.. Armstrong. Defec-
tive material, slimped work. crooked
inspection are all likely to suffer inter
ruption at his hands. In other words.
the appointment is just a common
sense selection of man qualified for
the place.
No wonder the American" party pol
iticians dislike their mayor!

EATUoUS ADULATION.

Henry Reuterdahl. who is one of the
numerous tribe of scribblers engaged
in magnifying everything Roosevelt
says or does until the plain. unvar-
nished truth bushes for itself. recently
provoked a retort from John D. Long.
who was secretary of the navy when
the war with Spain broke out. Reuter-
dahl in his latest article on the navy.
stopped over and said I'm fact, he (Nr.
RoosevelO was the navy department. -
The former secretary could not let
this assertion pass unnoL.e ed. and made
a caustic reply, saying. mong other
things, that the splenGid preparedness
of the navy for the war with Spain was
not due TO the efforts of President
Roosevelt, who was then assistant sec
rotary of the navy. except in mis- being
one of the helpful officials of the de-
partment." ReuterdahI has returned to
the charge, and says that las secre-
tary of the navy, Mr.. Long was no bet
ter and no worse than the average sec
rotary of the navy, but with no par-
ueular fitness for the work. as he was
without force. He then proceeds to
spread il on little bit thicker, as fol-
lows:
Ny statement that Mr. Roosevelt was
the navy department was not based upon
my opinion alone, but upon the opinion
of officers who were in Washington AT
the time he was in the department. and
also upon statements of many Washing
war We're in daily contact with the affairs
of the department.
MI Long was an entirely unframed
man. and 1t was natural that he like so
many other secretaries, failed to make the
great mark which Mr.. Roosevelt did dur
ing his time as assistant secretary, which
lasted less than a year"
So, i'm addition to foisting Mr. Roose-
welt upon the public as the hero OF
San Juan HILL" when he wasn't there.
a studied effort Is being made to place
him on a pedestal above his fellow I'M
derlings in the navy department as the
one man who paved the way for the
undoing of the SDaniards so far as the
feet was concerned. In view of these
facts, it is reasonable to suppose that

New York. June 1G.-Fifteen
thousand persons journeyed o
Gravesend to witness the first death
struggles of racetrack betting in this
State. They were rewarded by see
Ing fourteen spectacular arrests OF
men who are alleged to have violated
the Hart-Agnew anti-racing act. The
outcome Of the first day OF the ex-
tstcnce of the new anti-gambl.ng bill
was that racetrack betting to all in
tents and purposes has been killed.
At the outset at least one thousand
men interested IN betting either as
bockmakers or bookmakers' clerks,
were thrown out of employment.
The general opinion expressed at the
track also was that the attendance
will be so greatly reduced by the re-
moval of this feature of racing in
New York as to cause a great reduc-
tion in the various other grades OF
Lelp now earning a livelihood.

MEAT PRICES JUMP.
Porterhouse Steak 30 Cents q
Pound; Sirloin, 25 Cents.

New York, June 18.-Beef is high
er than It has been since 1902 at this
time Of the year, and the cost of 9TH
er meats has risen in sympathy. Por-
terhouse steak is retailing at 80
cents a pound. other steak and beef
cuts are proportionately high.
Last Winter, just after thu first
effects of the financial panic had
been felt, 1t was reported that breed
ers of cattle were unablS to get
enough mone.' to feed their stock,
and that a larger number of cattle
than usual fed mostly on grass the
preceding Summer would be thrown
upon the market. This vas done
and the market glutted. Then came
the reaction. There were fewer cat
tie in feeding than in former years,
and the demand for what there was
raised the .)rice all along the line.
The recent floods in the South and
Middle West have prevented many
sellers ron bringing their cattle to
market. and thus the supply has
been still further curtailed for the
time being. About this time In 1909
&c me cattle sold as high as SS a hum
dred pounds on the hoof, and the av-
erage was about $3.50. The follow
Ing year for instance. the average
price was $3.50 in June. The cause
OF the 1902 high prices was corn
famine.
A dispatch from New York to a
Chicago cattle paper said that whole
sale beef men of the East are some
what alarmed at the advancinr prices
of meat, but that the people of New
York and adjacent country had ap-
psrently found some substitute for
beef, since the demand was not as
great as had been expected in view
of the shortage of cattle.
Produce men in New York say this
substitute Is found in vegetables,
which have been selling in much
greater quantities in the last month
o: so than ever before at this sea-
son of the year. The vegetable men
declare that people who formerly
had meat on the table once a day are
now satisfied with neat twice a week.
