LANDS THAT EVENTUALLY
WILL BE REDEEMED.

A. C. Laut in the Outlook says we
are only at the beginning OF our con-
servation policy. There are In the
United States S0,000,000 acres OF
swamp land which can be drained and
which will be as arabic as garden
when they are drained. This swamp
land would provide homes for the sup
port of 100000 people There are
in the United States millions upon
millions of acres Of arid and semi-ariG
lands, which irrigation could make
and Is making very fertile. These
lands will support 15,000,00O house
holds. or twice the population OF New
York state. There are what may be
called the Lost Lands; lands lost to
the public through fraud; lands lost
to the public through lack OF knowl-
edge of how to handle their peculiar
formation. Only 20 per cent Of Uncle
Sans lands are yielding living aver
ages. What OF the rest? Conserva-
tlon says every acre. every foot of
every acre, must be made productive
of something If you can't grow crops
grow trees. If you can't drain
swamps grow cranberTies and mating
reedsi II you cant irrigate. then
practice dry farming! If you can't
farm rocks, then harness their catar-
acts into waterpower. AS to the
lands lost to the public through
fraud, conservation says: Take them
back for the public or charge their
full price for the public
For every ton of coal mined a ton
and a half Is wasted: or. to put 1t diff
ferently, for every four tons mined
six tons are wasted, In the petroleum
fields enough natural gas goes to waste
to light every city in the United States
free OF cost. The fire waste Of the
United States is the highest in the
world: so Is the bill of fire insurance.
AMI, greater than all these, Is the
waste Of human life in mine and fac
tory.

EMMA GOLDMAN REFUSED
PERMISSION TO SPEAK

New York, May 26-The activity
Of the police in watching Emma Gold
man recently has resulted in the city
council of East Orange, Nj, in refusing
her permission to speak there She
had already engaged the hall to make
an address on June s. but last night
the council returned her money and
informed her that she could not speak
in that city.
In New York police officer is con-
stantly on guard at her apartments to
inspect her callers and If possible, in
tercept messages and before she
speaks publicly at any time she is
warned by policemen and men from
the district attorneys Office.
This close espionage has led many
to believe that the authorities anticl-
pate some unusual activity on the
part Of the anarchists.

critics of Butte. reviewing the per
Torrance given In that city, says:
The FIRST act was TO show what the
cocktail Is TO the dinner.
The second act was bewitching in
its semi suggestive art. The Marsoy'
Ian dance OF Sonia. which preceded
the Merry Widow waltz. was the
acme OF physical tantaliSation. 1t was
about five parts "Salome," four parts
hoochi-koochi with dashes OF fishers

The Merry Widow" waltz was
study In abandon. The audience
drew long breaths as the Widow with
each seductive strain leaned back
heavier and heavier on the arm OF the
prince and with her head back and one
yielding arm, outstretched. resigned

the arbor song. 1t seemed quite a
shame to break up the clandestine al

is a daring conception and one which
required the greatest Jelicacy in pre-

delicacy and art OF the last two acts

last act. 1t was extravagant In Its

Manufacturers Who Prate About Law

New York, May 25.-The arraign-

John Kirby. of Dayton, O., the newly
elected president OF the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers, is con
demned by John Mitchell, former pres"
ident of the Mine Workers of America,
IN an article published in the current
issue OF the National CiviS Fedora

''ParadoXical as it may appear.

of this employers association in one
breath decry and denounce what they

claim the right and necessity of or

LET SALT LAKE HAVE
THE "RED-LlGHT."

There Is no end to the attention
Ogden is receiving from the Salt Lake
papers. The danger of Ogden trading
its red-light district for the state cap
itol Is the subject of constant discus
sion In Salt Lake City. To give an
idea of how prominently Ogden looms
In the eyes of Salt Lakers, we re-
produce the following from the Tri-
bune as a sample OF the daily COM
ment:
Pursuing further the citation of the
Ogden case. the News, in reply TO our
counter-statcment tlat II the Amerl-
can party Is responsible for the red
light district" here. as it then claim
ed, then one OF both of the church
parties must be responsible for the
establishment of such a district In Og-
den. To this the News puts in the
evasive plea that neither Ogden nor
any other city than Salt Lake is un-
der discussion" We don't wonder
that the News would like to ellmin-
ate the Ogden proposition, but mas
much as the News Itself brought Og.
den into the discussion in the first
place. it does not become that paper
now to try to push Ogden out The
truth Is, 1t is the principle under dis
cussion rather than the place that was
aimed at. and Ogden was used simply
as an illustration of that principle.
The News first spoke of visits OF Of
ficials Of this city to Ogden as to
the "red-light" proposition. We natur-
ally inquired then if Ogden was Wis
tied for light on this question. how
1t happened that there was such a
district there, taken for an exemp-
lar; and we asked why 1t was not
right to say that this district was
established by one of the church par
ties. To this the News replies by try
ing to rule Ogden out after 1t had
brought Ogden in itself. Further
evading, 1t says that "as no church
parties exist, 1t must have been es-
tablished by some other agency" Very
well. If 1t was established by some
other agency in Ogden, why was it
not established by some other agen-

Explosion Kills

William H. Gilmore of Beach, one of
the prominent business men of that
town. was fatally injured in the explo-
sion of a gasoline tank there Wednesday.
Gilmore is the owner of a plumbing
establishment and has in the rear of his
place of business a gasoline and kero-
sine tank. One half is used for each

so the oil was all pumped out and Mr..
Gilmore had been repairing the breaks.
He had been down in the tank and
upon returning, lit a match to see if
the work was done. There must have
been a leakage between the two COM
partments for in an instant the tank
exploded.
Gilmore's body was hurled through
the shed, while the whole side Of the
tank blew out, demolishing the shed.
The timbers fell upon him and he was
horribly mashed. Several limbs were
broken with severe internal injuries.
His wife was attracted to the scene
by the explosion and pulled her husband
out of the wreckage. He lived q few
hours only. Arthur Davis, of the UNDER
taking firm Of l. A. Davis & Son of this
city, was called to Beach to embalm the
