zens as we permit to come within our
jurisdiction, we now leave to state
or city not under the control Of the
federal government the duty of per-
forming our international obligations
in this respect. BY proper legislation
we may and ought to place in the
hands Of the federal executive the
means Of enforcing the treaty rights Of
such aliens in the courts Of the federal
government. 1t puts our government
in pusillaninlous position to make
definite engagements to protect aliens
and then to excuse the failure to per-
form those engagements by an expla-
nation that the duty to keep them is in
states or cities not within our control.
If we would promise, we must put
ourselves in position to perform our
promise We cannot permit the posi-
bic failure of justice due to local preju-
dice in any state or municipal govern
ment to expose us to the risk Of war
which might be avoided If federal
Jurisdiction was asserted by suitable
legislation by congress and carried out
by proper proceedings instituted by
the executive in the courts Of the ma.
tional government.
Monetary Laws Need Change.
One Of the reforms to be carried out
during the incoming administration is
change Of our monetary and banking
laws SO as to secure greater elasticity
in the forms Of currency available for
trade and to prevent the limitations of
law from operating to increase the en-
barrassments of a financial panic. The
monetary commission lately appointed
Is giving full consideration to existing
conditions and to all proposed rene
dies and will doubtless suggest one that
will meet the requirements Of business
and of public interest. We may hope
that the report will embody neither the
narrow view Of those who believe that
the sole purpose Of the new system
should be to secure large return on
banking capital nor Of those who would
have greater expansion Of currency
with little regard to provisions for its
immediate redemption or ultimate Sc
curity. There is no subject Of econom-
ic discussion so intricate and so likely
to evoke differing views and dogmatic
statements as this one. The commits
Sion IN studying the general Influence
OF currency on business and Of bust
ness on currency have wisely extend
ed their Investigations in Europcan
banking and monetary methods. The
Information that they have derived
from such experts as they have found
abroad will undoubtedly he found
helpful IN the solution Of the difficult
problem they have in hand.
Favers Postal Savings Banks.
The incoming congress should
promptly fulfill the promise Of the Re
publican platform and pass a proper
postal savings bank bill 1t will MOI

The promise to repay by the govern

may be affirmed in even more en-
rhatic way Of the navy. A modern
navy cannot be improvised 1t must
be built and in existence when the
emergency arises which calls for its
use and operation. My distinguished
predecessor has in many speeches and
messages set out with great force and
striking language the necessity for
maintaining a strong navy commensu-

mentality, like that Of The Hague tri-
With Il view to its use in all interna-
tional controversies III order to main
tain peace and to avoid war. But we
should be blind to existing conditions
and should allow ourselves to become
foolish idealists If we did not realize
that, with all the nations of the world
armed and prepared for war, we must
be ourselves in Il similar condition in
order to prevent other nations from
taking advantage Of us and Of our in
ability to defend our interests and as
sert our rights with strong hand.
In the International controversies that
are likely to arise In the orient, grow
ing out Of the question Of the
open door and other issues, the
United States can maintain her inter-
ests intact and can secure respect for
her Just demands. She will not be
able to do SO, however. If it is under
stood that she never intends to back
up her assertion Of right and her de-
tense Of her interest by anything but
mere verbal protest and diplomatic
note. For these reasons the expenses
Of the army and navy and Of coast de-
lenses should always be considered as
something which the government must
pay for. and they should not be cut off
through mere consideration Of econ
omy. Our government Is able to af-
ford suitable army and suitable
navy. 1t may maintain them without
the slightest danger to the republic or
the cause Of free institutions, and fear
Of additional taxation ought not to
change proper policy in this regard.
Protection For Our Citizens Abroad.
The policy of the United States in
the Spanish war and since has given
it position Of influence among the
nations that it never had before and
should be constantly exerted to secur-
ing to its bona flde citizens. whether
native or naturalized. respect for them
as such IN foreign countries. We
should make every effort to prevent

temporarily to sojourn In foreign coun.

The Japanese Question.
The admission Of Asiatic Immigrants
who cannot be amalgamated With our
population has been made the subject
either OF prohibitory clauses in our
treaties and statutes or Of strict ad-
ministrative regulation secured by dip
lomatic Negotiations. sincerely hope
that We may continue to minimize the
evils likely to arise from such immi-
grafton without unnecessary friction
and by mutual concessions between
self respecting governments. Mean.

Verne II. Church, who for two years
has been first assistant observer in the
local government weather bureau, was
notified yesterday of his promotion to
the position of directOr-in-chief OF
the indianapolis weather bureau
Which is the central point of the Ind
lana section, one of the most import
ant positions in the government wealth
er bureau service.
The promotion is without precedent
in the history of the bureau. Never
before has an assistant observer been
so highly honOTed, and never has such
rapid progress been made in the Serv-
ice. The position entails considerable
salary well as distinction. Mr..
Church will have full charge Of an
office employing seven observers and
equipped with parapheTnalia equal to
any bureau in the country. The entire
state of Indiana will wait upon Mr..
Church for its weather bulletin and
his position will be such that adjOin-
ing states will come under his sur
veillanCe. Indiana being the center of
the eastern central district.
Mr.. Church entered the weather
bureau service eight years ago, being
appointed from Michigan and assigned
30 the position of observer at Column
bus. South Carolina. His first promo
tion took him to the Toledo bureau and
from there he went to Chicago. From
he received an appointment to
the position of first assistant Observ-
er at Cheyenne. from which point he
came 10 Salt Lake a little more than
two years ago.

Mr.. Hayes has been in Salt Lake for
twenty-eisht years. He Is employed by
the Oregon Short Line and is chairman
of the grievance committee for the
whole of that system, having made
frequent trips out on the line. He says
that the last year has been successful
one in all respects. as far as trouble
with employees is concerned.
The success Of our organization de-
ponds upon the diplomacy we use in
handling men" he said. When tTOu-
BILE arises and we know the men are
wrong we advise their dismissal i'm
mediately from the service Of the road,
and we stand back of the company in
those cases
The appreciation which the oregon
Short line feels for the labors of Mr..
Hayes is attested by the fact that he
has not only received an employees
pass to the end Of that system for his
trip. but also a pass over all the roads
to Atlanta City for himself and family.

Two suits for divorce and one for

DRY FARMS IN

Local Men Have Trophies to
Show That Efforts Are
Successful.

GRAINS OF DRY FARMS SOUGHT

The wonderful possibilities of dry

cummings on Main street and of A. n.
HUMPHREYS on Second South street. RI.

owners Of extensive tracts of dry farm
land in Juab county. have just re-
turned from their holdings and are
loud in their praises of the great re-
suits obtained there and on other
property in that section.
Among the samples shown are oats,
wheat barley, alfalfa. alfalfa seed and
apples. All these products were grown
on land without any irrigation what

farming were demonstrated the land

ranch. located between Nephi and

ever since the early seventies. and is
one OF the most famous ranches I'm
that section of the country. 1t is. per
haps. the best known tract Of ground
in the county.
This section of Utah seems to he
particularly well adapted To dry farm

dry farms is in demand everywhere
by miliers- 1t contains a greater per-
centage Of gluten than wheat grown
in most sections of the country and
is well adapted for mixing with other
wheat not so well favored. The two
varieties most widely grown there are
Turkey Red and KOfOd. The former
contains about f45 per cent gluten and
lG4 per cent protein, while the latter
contains about a per cent gluten and
