10 Inc Salt Lake Herald.
Speaking of ''pernicious political sactiv-
ity, is it OF record that any president of
the United States ever established a pre-
cedent for the present disgraceful activ-
ity of President Roosevelt? Or during
his earnest and consistent career has Mr.
Bryan given any indication that, If elect
ed to the presidency, he would have the
gan 70 convert il into a cheap advertis-
ing bureau and special headquarters for
the election of his successor? Having
thrown dignity aside and prostituted his
great Office by using it to further his
partisan ends, TO what degree, after ALL
IS our great and only Teddy Roosevelt
aDoVe the level of a typical ward heller,
plying the dirty tricks of his trade in the
interest of a candidate for alderman?
notice that in his sudden intense de-
sire to pose as the ''wage-earner' s
friend, aud to assure the laboring man
that he has never had a better friend in
the White House than Judge Taft will
prove to be- Mr.. Roosevelt sends forth
this morning from his White House Re-
publican headquarters another appeal, in
which, as speciality, he uses Judge
Tafts name twenty-four times in a COL
umn OF space. Certainly no other ad
writer could refer to his wares much
more frequently. and Cheap John him
self could hardly warn the unsuspecting
public against his rascally competitors
more strenuously than the ad writer of
the White House gives warning in this:
IF Mr. Bryan were elected 1 have little
doubt that the ensuing industrial chaos
necessitatinS great reduction and wide
spread unemployment, would be beyond
the reach of such action as that which
averted the threatened disaster last
spring"
That one startling sentence. coming
from so high an authority and intended
TO frighten the labor vote. ought to warn
Mr. RooSevelts several hundred thou
sand appointees that they must be doing

Mr. Roosevelt's work during the past
week has been SO coarse and transparent

INTERPRETATION
 OF LONDON TOWN

London, June 27.-The signs of the Americanizing of London are increas- ing every day. For instance. after years spent in asking each other Why don't we have a good Turkish bath which would keep open all night?" London's clubmen have at last secured such an establishment. The new baths are situated in York street, St. James square. and the establish ment has at tached to 1t a new block of bachelor apartments.
 Anoth CT boon to Americans in Lon don is the opening of many small es ta fish ments where American ice cream soda and other iced drinks are sold and which if not quite so good as the homemade article are a fairly good substitute.
 There has been a marked increase too in the ice bills of the smaller hotels and restaurants. The Londoner is just beginning to look upon ice as a necessity rather than a priceless and rare luxury.

In course of time (and not long course) he will have settled down to steady gait in prosperity. and the author ities will be busy starting his newer neighbors.
 About third of the irrigation block is now served with water, and filling up with people. The canals are being stead fly extended, and more land Is being made ready for market all the time About 50 Ter cent of the settlers are from the American side of tho line, but this year Q considerable number of people have come in from Holland and that movement IS likely to increase Father van AWen, formerly of the diocese of Montana, went to Holland and Belgium last winter and returned in April, bringing with him party of 36 who bought about 3SOO acres, most of which they are putting into sugar beets. Father Van Aiken has returned to Holland to bring out others, and the con- rany's agent has meanwhile brought In about ten more families from there. These people are keeping pretty well to- gether and are taking quite earnestly to sugar beets.

Back to the Soil.

From the ManCneSter MlrIor.
 There are thousands of vacant farms in New England where the buildings can be made tenantable at little expense that can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of improvements already made upon them, and where city man could send his family for six months in the year and make them hearty, healthy and happy. few cows, hens and garden will go a long way toward supplying the table with the most healthful food in the world. and as much more farming can be carried on as the owner may de- sire Hundreds of business men have found in such places the true elixir of health for their families and praise the day they left the crowded city for such health and enjoyment. Very extensive farming under such circumstances, how ever. will generally prove disappointing. for such a place is worth more as a home than for farming purposes under inexperienced direction.

ROYAL COMPOSITIONS
Make Up Entire Programme of Mu'
 sical Recital.

London, June 27.-Royal compositions formed the entire programme at a song recital given in London by Miss Alys LOT raine. Every song she sang had been composed by an emperor, king, queen, prince, princess or reignng duke, rang ing in date from Henry VIII to the pres ent Kaiser Wilhelm.
 Three songs composed by Bluff King Hal" opened the concert followed by one by Charles I. Then Miss Lorraine sang a cavatina by King Anthony the Good of saxony, a song by his relative, Princess Luisa song by Henri of Navarro and one by Marie Antoinette.
 The German Emperor's Sang an Aeg- ir'' began the second part, which also included two compositions by Duke Ernst II of xe-CoburgGotha, and three works by his brother, the Prince Con- sort of England. Miss Lorraine ended the recital with four ballads composed by Princess Henry of Battenberg.
