OUTLOOK
FOR FRUIT

For the fruit growers of Utah the
prospects are bright for this year.
according to informal ton gathered by
the state board of horticulture.
Speaking of conditions among the
fruit growers. j. Edward Taylor, sec
retary of the board. said yesterday:
Complete crop reports on the
fruit outlook from all parts of the
state show that prospects are now
for the largest crop of tree fruit that
we have ever had. The heaviest dam
age has been done to the strawberry
crop, which will average rs per cent
of the normal throughout the state.
The damage is due principally to
frost, which has retarded the crop.
The numerous rains have also de-
layed the time of ripening and less
ened the yield.
1.-The only serious damage to the
apple crop in the commercial section
has been in and around Bear River
City, Tremonton and Garland, in the
Bear river valley. In this section
the crop will be between 81 and so
per cent. while west of there, at Pen
rose, and south, at Corinne, there has
been no particular damage. Davis
and Weber counties will have bump
er crops. Cache county has not suf-
ltTtu lndltIldllN llolli iioSl. mere
has been some damage in Salt Lake
and Utah counties in the low-lying
land, but the planted area in this sec
tion is small
Barring damage done by pear
blight during the last few years, the
trees that have resisted this disease
will yield heavy crops of pears. The
apricot crop is above the normal. The
sweet cherry yield will be lighter
than the apricot or peach. The kill
ing frosts of this spring have taught
the growers some good lessons in
the value of smudging, and before
another spring comes around the
people in fruit growing districts will
be organized to protect the fruit from
frost
1.-The success of smudging has been
demonstrated scientifically and prac-
tically, so that it is not a question
of speculation, but an actual fact.
In some of the high outlying coun-
ties the damage has been quite heavy
from frost this spring and this in
cludes the district around Moab. But
these sections are out of the COM
mercial area and the state output
will. from a commercial standpoint,
not be affected by this. 1t is report
ed from Moab that the crops will
not be more than 40 per cent of the
normal"

STATISTICS IN CRIME.
= = :. :. + = = = : + + +

A bulletin issued by the census pu-
reau contains some statistics OF the
prison popula ton of the country that
are startlingly suggestive. The sta
tistics are of June 80, 1904, when the
total population of the country was
estimated to be 81, ,3O1,S S4S. At that
time the country had 1887 penal IN
stitutions, including United States
civil prisons, 81 state prisons ana
state and county penitentiaries, Ia
reformatories for adults, II NUM-
cipaI prisons and workhouses and
11S1 county jails. At the date nam,
ed these various prisons contalned
S1.772 inmates, an average OF loo'o
per 100, 900 of population. The aver.
age seems appallingly large, put IL
shows an Improvement over lS9o,
when it was 1915 per 100000 oil
population. ..o
There is some consolation III tne
fact that, appalling as the aggregate
of crime appears, the percentage OF
criminals to population is not IN
creasing. This might be due TO re-
missness in the enforcement OF law
but we are at least permitted to nope
that it is not the case, the mora
trend of the times being toward
stricter instead of laxer enforcement

MExIco's NEXT PRESIDENT.

An interesting contest is in progress
in the sister republic of Mexico for the
position of president to succeed Mr..
Diaz, who will retire in October, 1910.
Diaz wishes before his death to see an
other firmly esta blished in the presi-
dency, and has chosen his friend, Ra-
mon Corral, for the place. The army,
lions, favors General Bernardo Reyes,
while Jose Y. Limantour, minister of
finance, also has aspirations.
Diaz has steadily pushed Corral to
the front for number of years for the
purpose. 1t is believed, of training him
for the succession to the presidency
Corral fought for one year in the army
that made Diaz president. This was in
1875. and Corral was then young man
of twenty-one years. Corral was well
educated and. at the age of 20. began
the publication of a newspaper in his
native town in the state of Sonora. He
was able and acquired fame as a
writer. When barely of age he was
Soon after, he became secretary of
state for Sonora. In 1887 he was elected
vice governor for Sonora, an Office he
filed until 1895, when he became gov
ernor by direction of President Diaz.
His administration of the governors
office was marked by a number of nee
essary reforms. In 1900 President Diaz
brought Corral to the City of Mexico
and made him governor of the federal
district Three years later he was again
promoted, being made minister of the
interior this time. In the next year,
1904. President Diaz had the constitu-
ton so amended as to provide for the
office of vice president. Mr.. Corral
was duly declared elected to this office,
which is next to the presidency in posi-
ton and power.
In addition TO the official preferment
which President Diaz has given Mr..
Corral. he is now charged-not too
loudly, for it wouldn't be healthy in
Mexico-with sending Corral to put
down the uprising on the northern
frontier in order TO give him an oppor-
tunity to strengthen himself with the
army. where he has been particularly
weak. The critics say that the minis
ter of war is the officer who should
have been placed in charge of the ex-
petition. but Corrars friends explain

Mr.. sHEPARD's MISTAKE.

chairs and such other weapons as could
be hastily gathered up. Mr.. Shepard
should have known better. Hearst
didn't pay the expenses of political out
casts from all over the United States
for the purpose of endorsing Bryan
when they got TO Chicago, and the
murderous attack which followed Mr.
Shepard's bad break is pretty conclu-
sive proof that the men in the conven-
ton had been warned of the possibility
of such an occurrence and drilled as to
the part they should play.
A sense of inferiority is no doubt re-
sponsible for Hearsts blind and unrea-
soning hatred of Bryan. The young
man with millions of inherited wealth
cherished the idea that by using some
of his surplus cash he could obtain the
Democratic nomination for president
The scales fell from his eyes some
months ago in this respect. Then the
mean. malicious and mendacious at
tempt to defeat Bryan and wreck the
Democratic party began. The extent
to which hatred has been instilled into
the minds of the Hearst people was
plainly shown in the attack upon Mr..
Shepard, and from time to time during
the campaign We shall doubtless have
many exhibitions of the petty spirit
which is always present in the breasts
of the Jealous and envious. In the long
run. all this will rebound to the advan-
tage of Mr.. Bryan. for the great body
of the people of the country can neither
be deceived by Hearst's campaign of
SANDER or tempted by his money.
Mr.. Shepard. after escaping with his
life from the convention hall. was read
out of the Hearst party. He should be
thankful in both instances.

NOT EASY TO DEFEAT BRYAN.

(New York Commercial and Financial
Chronicle.)
With reference to the political outcome
to which we referred a week ago as
being in the belief of the general pub
lie more promising than before the Den
Yer convention had finished its work
to just that extent we reaffirm our opin-
ion of the situation. We are sorry not
to be able to go farther and Join fully
in the belief that the work of defeating
the Denver movement is as sure as the
event of election day is. We would like
very much to have the comforting as
surance of the reasonable certainty Mr.
James Speyer expressed in the fact that
the American people never have elected
a man like Mr.. Bryan to the presidency
and never will. We cannot help being
a harder one than has ever before faced
the Republican party. 1t was not until
the word gold was put into the party
platform that healthy, sound verdict
on that vital subject was reached. Our
weakness today consists in the doubt
as to where Mr.. Taft stands and for
what. We have no doubt with refer
ence to the dependable character of pub
lie opinion and public action in the Unit
ed States when actually aroused AND
faced with principle to fight for. But
what are we to fight for in this case:
Is il for Mr.. RoOsevelt's policies? We
repudiate them. They are neither just
nor practicable. If Mr.. Taft is willing
to bank on his own reserve of character
principles and achievements accumulated
during a life of active work among the
people his success in November is as
sured But if he is determined to mas
querade as a poor copy of another man
whose policies have proved dead fall
ure he had better look to his fences.
