PERSISTENT EFFORTS

with which Senator SmO0t has guarded
the interests of his state. his activity in
the Strawberry Valley irrigation pro-
ject is a good example Senator Smoot
called upon the secretary of the interi-
, or when he found that the secretary
was selecting the irrigation projects to
receive government aid. Secy Hitch
cock informed him that Utah would
have TO wait: that IN his opinion other
states were entitled to prior consldera-
ton.
Instead OF discouraging the sena-
tor, this decision spurred him to re-

Railroad and Trust Regulation.

Evidence accumulates that PTesi-
dent Taft is laying the foundation for
legislation at the coming regular ses-
sion of congress on the railroad and
trust questions. Several members of
the house and senate who have been
foremost in such legislation in the
past have been called into conference
on this subject at the White House.
The republican platform declared for
amendments to the sherman anti
trust law which would give greater
publicity to and control over railroads
and other great corporations engaged
in interstate commerce. 1t also de-
clared for amendments TO simplify
rate making and maintain free COM
petition between the roads, Mr.. Taft
has expressed himself clearly on these
questions, and for this reason the
visits of these men to the White House
at his time are considered significant.
The Sherman act and the interstate
commerce act have been found to be
conflicting in some provisions n the
former, under decisions Of the SUI
preme court, much broader thar
originally supposed. With the tariff
bill passed at the extra session, it Is
probable that the administration will
want these other troublesome ques.
lions disposed of as early as possible
and present indications are hat a bill
will be ready for the assembling or the
regular session. New conditions con
stantly present themselves and create
new issues and delays invite an aecu
mutation of problems. The long ses
sion of congress, which assemblies il

AERIAL FLEETS ON COASTS.
Prospects for Providing for Adequate
. Balloon Defense.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Congress will be asked, in the regular
session next winter. to make an appro-
prlation for the establishment Of a fleet
OF war balloons for the Atlantic coast, to
be used for purposes OF defense. Balloon
houses about $50 miles apart are to be
built along the coast, and the balloons
which are stationed at each OF these posts
will traverse the coast 125 miles north and
the same distance south OF these points.
Thus the whole sea line from Maine to
Florida will be patrolled. Each balloon
will be able to communicate readily by
wireless with its post, and a fotiIla OF
aeroplanes will act as couriers between the
various stations.
Obviously under this plan It would be
impossible for any hostile fleet to get
within a dozen miles OF the coast without
being seen. and its number and movements
communicated to the various stations and
ports. In this way the work Of defense
would be made easier. BY railway along the
coast, 1t win be practicable to concentrate
forces at any threatened point promptly.
All OF this machinery OF defense is based
upon the certainty that the air currents
along the coast will be mapped out before
hand. so that the movement OF the balloons
can be determined with a fair degree OF
accuracy. II is pretty well known that the
air currents are reasonably well defined
and IL will be the business OF the signal
corps Immediately to map out these cur
rents, and to be prepared to submit it's
Investigations In the bill which will be pre-
sented to congress soon after the session
begins in December.
Although the economy program is to
be enforced in the coming session, It is be-
lieved that congress will see the necessity
OF providing for IN adequate system of
balloon defense, Notwithstanding the fact
that the cost will be large. The signal
corps will ask for the purchase OF the larg-
est and best balloons which are made.
Some of these will have TO be obtained in
Europe, which is ahead of us in this branch
or aerial navigation. In aeroplanes, how
ever, we can probably teach the rest OF
the world, and these machines will, under
present plans, constitute a very important
part OF the scheme OF defense by aviation.
Presuming that the Wrights stlll lead the
world in -aeroplanes, we will be able tu
get these contrivances at home, and thus
can obtain them quickly. II this scheme OF
aerial defense on the Atlantic succeeds, II
will be extended to the Gulf and the Pacific
coasts, as well as to the lakes. The ex-
pense will necessarily be heavy, but it il
believed by the War department that con-
gress will be willing TO undertake It.

A New Era in South America.

The death of President Penna OF
Brazil and the peaceful and orderly
succession Of the vice president bears
evidence of a new era in South Amer
lea. A few years ago the death Of
the executive in any Of the South
American countries would have been
the signal for an armed conflict for
control. Brazil was among the most
turbulent of the southern nations and
even under the empire was constantly
disturbed by rebellions and petty in
ternal wars. The influence of the
United States has done much to pro-
duce the new order, but the people Of
those countries deserve much credit
for abandoning their bad habits.
Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and Co
lombia are still occasionally turbulent
and a survey of the progress Of their
nelghbors under orderly conditions
should be an incentive to strive harder
to follow the example. Brazil, Argen-
tina and Chilli, particularly, have ad-
vanced marvelously under the new
regime and are rapidly taking their
places with the important nations OF
the world. Their natural resources
are no greater than their neighbors'
and in the case of Chill not so great,
yet with stable governments they have
far outstripped the more unsettled
countries. The enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine protects them from
European aggression and they have
every opportunity for development.
The success of some lends hope that
one day all will follow the good advice
of the United States.

The Stockmen's Convention.

The annual meeting of the Ne
Alliance, emphasizes the great trans
formation in the live stock industry
Of the west In recent years. In the
old days cattle were turned loose on
the ang and in a great measure
shifted for themselves and nee a year
the surplus was gathered and shipped
to market. No effort was made TO i'm
prove the grade Of cattle and there
was no provision for winter susie
nance and shelter. The result was in
ferior cattle and heavy losses, which
would bankrupt the cattleman of to-
day in spite of the high prices of beef.
The old-time range man made money
because it cost him practically nothing
to put the cattle on the market.
The eattleman of today must be a
business man and pursue business
methods II he would succeed. He is
meeting the new conditions and these
conventions are for consultation and
exchange of ideas how better to pro-
mote the common good. The meat
supply If the country is becoming a
growing problem and the stockmen
are not alone interested in plans to
increase the output Of the range coun-
try. The supply Of beef and feeder
cattle which they pour into the corr
belt annually is the reserve upon
which the nation depends. Reckless
waste in the past has been the rule,
but these cattle raisers are thought
fully addressing themselves to con-
serving the grass and seeking to Craze
two steers where only one could live
before. They have done much in this
direction, but much remains to be ac-
complished. All of us are vitality in
terested in the deliberations of these
conventions and in their success.

And when you're runnin' cattle on life'g
