PASSING OF ROGERS.

Death has removed one of the strih-
ing figures in the world of finance. H.
H. Rogers, who passed on yesterday,
was foremost in the group Of capitalists
in control of the Standard Oil company
and ranked next to John D. Rockefel-
Ter It was Rogers who directed the
purchase of the mines in Montana and
formed the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany He was director in many great
enterprises and amassed a great for
tune as he went along through life.
OF late years Mr.. Rogers has been
building a railroad through the Viz
ginias to the sea coast. and at the time
of the panic was said to be involved to
the extent of $40, OOO, 900, and the stock
market was adversely affected in con-
sequence. The line was opened a few
weeks ago and Mr.. Rogers and Mark
Twain were central figures at the cele-
bratiOn Of the event. Just how badly
he was bitten in this enterprise win
probably come out now that he is dead,
but it is not probable his death Will az
feet the market TO any great extent.

NEXT TO THE TAFTs.

News comes from Washington that
the daughter of one of the civil service
commissioners has paid $4,000 for a pew
next to that occupied by Mrs. w. II.
Taft and her family in one of the lead
ing churches in the capital city Of the
country, a record price in that paTticu-
lar edifce. OF course. worshipping IN
der such favorable circumstances has
peculiar advantages. One naturally
feels more devout when in close jux-
Imposition with the first lady of the
land. And then the eyes of the con-
gregation at large are sure TO wander
from time to time in the direction of
the presidential pew, and naturally
enough the favored ones in the imme-
date vicinity cannot possibly be over
looked.
Perhaps due credit is given on the
records above for the $1,000 invested in
the pew next to the Tafts, but when
alTs said and done the eye of the nee
die has to be gone through and the ex-
cess wealth only impedes progress.
Fortunately for the great majority of
US, salvatiOn's free.

YOUNG MEN 10 HE EoRE.

In pursuance of a laudable deter
minatiOn to interest the youth of the
party in Republican affairs, the Young
Mems Republican league has chosen
for state president that rising young
man, W. 5. Mccormick. His assistants
in Office are d. c. lacking, Hyrum E
Booth and others of similar juvenes-
cence. 1t may be noted. also, that the
choice of these bright young men was
determined by A. l. Thomas. poss. bly,
the best known youthful Office holder
in America.
Although handicapped somewhat by
mis- lack of years. Mr. Mccormick
should prove a great success in his Of
fee. He possesses the first requisite
for Republican leadership, namely, a
plethOric bankrou and a generous, un-
suspicious nature, this latter due, no
doubt. to his ineXperience in the wiles
of politics. His acquaintance is ex-
tremely large. including every Repub-
liean who has solicited funds since
1864: and guided by the counsels OF
more experienced sages it is expected
he Will DO much toward the enjoyment
Of the federal bunch in Utah politics.
Mr. lacking is likewise embarraSs ed
in his important duties by his youth
and inexperience. but the Committee
doubtless thought these disadvantages
would be Offset by the possession Of
means enough to insure the party
a-osvS+ v,-o,t - +;~,,oe - ---s,f - a..
suspected that Mr.. lacking hopes to
go 20 the senate when he has attained
the required age of 80 years, and this
suspicion no doubt entered somewhat
into the calculations which preceded
his election.
OF the other officers of the league
little need be said, since they are all
well known as rising young men, some
OF them maintaining firm grip on the
government pap bottle, and all aspiring
to that delightful crown of every real
Republicans career. Governor Thomas.
with his customary modesty, kept him
self in the background. preferring prob
ably to disburse the assessments rather
than pay them. His record. which IS
among the wonders Of the federal SER
vice. has taught him the folly of hold
ing Office in Republican clubs when It
is so much less expensive ana more en-
joyabie to hold Office under the govern
ment That this is true may be in
ferred from his career, which includes a
government job under every admins
tration since JohTson's, when he was
page in the senate. When young man
can succeed i'm mailing down Jobs con-
tinuously for forty years or more, and
all of them good jobs, Il IS evidence
enough that he will be a real wonder
when he ripens into the maturity Of.
say. Methusaleh or Uncle Joe Cannon.
Truly the Young Mems Republican
league starts auspiciously. On small
estimate its official roster could be
capitalized in the millions. All it needs
is an advisory board to prevent il from
doing anything rash.

rRulT AS A DRINK CURE.

The National Reform association, an
organization in England, makes known
the fact that fruit is the main reliance
of those who are treating unfortunates
addicted to the drug and drink habit.
The Salvation Army maintains a home
for women in a London susurb, and
from this institution some interesting
facts are CLEANED. No flesh OF mustard.
pickles, vinegar or the like is used I'm
the home. The diet consists Of grains,
nuts. peas, beans, milk. cheese. grapes,
oranges, stewed figs and prunes. ba-
nanas and other fruits, and plenty Jam
and marmalade On this diet It has
been found that the most PROSTATE
cases are up in less than a fortnight.
whereas, when meat was a part Of the
diet. patients often had to remain in
bed for weeks and even months. When
a woman can hardly be controlled
grapes are given. Once she has been
eoaxed TO eat the grapes. they have a
soothing effect. and she asks for more.
Oranges come second in value for this
purpose. Lemon juice in hot water is
helpful in case Of fainting instead Of
brandy
That grapes should be a good ant
dOte is not surprising upon the princi-
pie that the hair of the dog is good for
the bite. for the juice Of the grape has
been responsible for more woe than
war. pestilence and famine combined.

awakened in the great farming eommu-
mites and the demand for honest tarin
revision heczme more insistent as the
time for the national Republican con-
vention drew near. In an attempt to
plaeate the farmers an ambiguous tariff
plank was inserted N the Chicago plat
form. which Mr.. Taft while a candi-
date on the stump. and since, inter
preted to mean that the schedules were
to be reduced Now that the Cannon
Aldrich crowd, instead of lowering the
duties. are making them still higher.
it IS apparent that the political saliva
ton OF Dolliver. Nelson and the other
senators and representatives of the Re
publican persuasion depends upon the
kind of fight they put up against the
avowed purpose Of the leaders OF their
own party. The hide is closer than the
shirt and party principles fade away
when there is a chance to lose Office
by adhering to them. John P. DOlliver
was a member Of the house ways and
means committee when the Dingley
bill was adopted and was particeps
criminis so far as the Joker" con-
tanned therein are concerned. No spe-
cial credit can possibly attach to him
for exposing the frauds perpetrateG
upon the public after keeping silence
so many years. That he is a champion
Of tariff reform is due entirely to the
fact that the people of Iowa can no
longer be hoodwinked into the belief
that they share in the benefits Of the
highly protective system foisted upon
the country by the Republican party.
The same fact is apparent in Ne
braska. Kansas. Indiana, Minnesota
and the two Dakotas, as well as In
other states devoted to agriculture. the
resolutions Of the National Grange still
stand. and the members Of this, the
Oldest organization of farmers in the
United States. are keeping up the agi-
tatiou. Small wonder, then, that the
Republican senators from the states
mentioned are on the fr1ng line. Pros
per.ty did not arrive on the morning
after election as per schedule; it will
not arrive Immediately following the
passage of the Payne-Aldrich bill. as
stated in the latest Republican time
card. And we may rest assured that
the grangers will remember the decep-
ton practiced the next time they go to
the polls.

TIE GRANGE AND TIE TARIFF.

There has been considerable comment
concerning the attitude of the people Of
Iowa and those of the other granger"
states in the matter OF tarifr revision,
and the fact that such stalwarts as
Beveridge, Deliver and Knute Nelson
have kicked over the traces during the
discussion Of the Aldrich bill in the
senate has caused great surprise in
many quarters. But when we remem-
Der the resolutions passed by the Ma
tional Grange at its annual meeting IN
Hartford. Conn. on Nov. 1s 1907. the
reason for the rush Of these statesmen
into the breach becomes apparent On
the above mentioned occasion the Ma
tional Grange adopted the following
resolutions. and they were scattered
broadcast throughout the country:
Whereas. for the protection OF our
American manufacturers il has been
deemed necessary to place a tariff upon
various articles of import, and
Whereas. the tariff upon many articles
has resulted in the building up Of 81
gantic mOnOpOlies. by sitting foreign
competition and enabling large American
manufacturers 10 sell their goods cheaper
in foreign countries than at home, at
the expense OF American agriculture and
many less industries. therefore. be it
Resolved By the National Grange. in
Hartford Conn. assembled, Nov. Is. 1907.
That We believe that the general vel
fare of the country demands an eNhaus-
tive and thorough tariff revision. and
that the tariff be removed from every
article that is being sold In foreign mar
kets cheaper than at home
Resolved That We urge upon the mem
. HkHar Trssea
ed States to take speedy action and TO
use every influence at their command to
secure the carrying out Of the sentiments
o. these resolutions.
The members Of the grange went
home and continued the agitation. A.
result public sentiment was
