nor modify the situation, he would be
something more than hardy if he still
refused-he would become without
otherwise deserving it foolhardy, and
everybody, even those who charge
him up with certain measure of
rashress, will be unwilling to attach
the other name to his.
Another reason why Roosevelt
should be the candidate is one that
appeals to us of Utah with peculiar
force: The Tribune and its evening
echo the Telegram do not like him
and have of late openly shown their
hostility; Goodwin's Weekly doesn't
like him, but this doesn't amount to
much; the renegade Republicans and
Democrats composing the American
party don't like him, but all genuine
Americans do like him, do want him,
and will accept of no other name so
long as his is within the field of
dNdiidpiity.
Nominate Roosevelt and all fac
tionism and schismatic strife will dis
appear in an instant, while the united
and irresistible Republican hosts will
go forth to one of the grandest tri-
umphs in its history. No other name
would receive such an ovation at
q.
would create such spontaneous out
burst of enthusiasm throughout the
land. 1t would end the presidential
contest before it had fairly begun.
The Democratic donkey would
again find itself tied to a manger in
which there was no fodder, not even
husks.
Nominate Roosevelt anyway!

The first detachment to put in an
appearance was the Provo martial
band in d. cling tog-up of red,
white and llue, the red and blue
slashed with gold and the white be-
spattered with dust. Some of the
blasts which their horns emitted were
enough to waken the dead, and as a
matter of fact good many Demo-
Gratis were seen on the streets right
after the parade, some of whom look
ed as lively and hopeful as an octo-
genarian with a young wife. One of
them (the band) snorted so loud that
he caused policeman on a neighbor-
ing block to drop an apple he had
just picked up to sample.
The Ogden brass band was also out
in force and looked as pretty as lot
of girls in bathing suits. Their music
was so delightful that forgot for the
time that | ever committed a sin in

good enough to be delegate; to

Conspicuous among the Ogden del
egation was that illustrious son of

bearing of commander, the manner
of a cavalier and the front of Mar

1t was late in the p. m when the
convention got down to the business
for which it was created. Three cam
didates for Judges of the Supreme
Court were placed in nomination, the
same being Judges Zane, Miner and
Bartch. Some of the speeches on
this occasion were bright and Incl
sive, while others were as dry and
pointless as Deseret News editorial.
But the pease de reseestons, so called,
was the speech of Brother Graham, of
Provo, in advocacy of Judge Zane. In

The relations of the U. s. with
the so called Republic of Venezu-
ella, long strained, have now nearly.
reached the break point. The pres
ident and secretary Root have had
for several years before them the
complaints of Americans who al.
lege that president Castro and his
government have deprived them
of their property rights without
fair hearing. They have petition
ed this government for a hearing
of the hearing oftheir cause before
a just tribunal, claiming justice
cannot be had in the Venezuelan
courts. The pesident after wide
investigation has come to the CON
clusion that wrong has been done
American citizens. and he will ask
congress to take such steps as may
be necessary to secure redress.
Secretary Roots summing up of
the case of the New York and Der.
mudez Co. is an indication of the
determination of this government
to press its demands; he says:
In view, therefore, of the facts
and circumstance set forth briefly
but in sufficient detail, the seizure
of the property belonging to the
Co. by unquestioned and subsist-
ing titles. is a harsh and unjust de.
privation of property, and the con-
tinued possession and exploitation
of these mines by sequestrator,
or by any person rather than the
lawfully authorized agent of the
company, is daily and growing
grievance. As the Co. has failed
to obtain the protection of courts
of justice. and as the Co. still con.
tinues to be deprived of its prop
erty this government feels con-
strained to protest firmly but cour
teously, through diplomatic chan
nels, against the continuance of a
wrong perpetrated by the abuse. Of
judicial process. This is not the
first time that this matter has been
called automatically to the atten.
ton of the Venezuelan govern.
ment, but inasmuch as the repeat.
ed requests of this government has
failed to restare the company to its
lust rights, the government again
calls attention to state of affairs
which should not and cannot be

The recent disparaging talk OF
Mr.. Stevens, former Chief En-,
gineer of the Panama Canal, has
no reference to the possibility of
constructing it, nor does it have
reference to the time or money to
complete it. He simply questions
it as paying concern, and in this
respect he's probably correct. The
opinion of the experts who studied
the question before before the en-
terprise was fully undertaken was
that it would earn good dividends
on an outlay of from go to 100 mil
lions of dollars. This was at first
the estimated cost. Since then the
estimate has gone to 400 millions,
owing in part to the greater depth
and width required for the larger
vessels of the future. 1t must be
understood that the q. S. did not
undertake the canal merely as
commercial venture, but to promote
commerce and as defensive meas
