UNLIMITED WATER POWER.

Canadian companies, as well as
these on this side OF the boundary
line. are using the Niagara falls water
power to the fullest extent possible,
and new enterprises are constantly
being rushed to completion.
One of the latest of these is the
construction of the hydro-electric
power transmission lines from Niaga-
IA falls westward to the different mu-
inequalities in Ontario. which are being
pushed with all speed.
There will be over three thousand
miles Of cable in use, over half of
which has already been strung.
Niagara falls being situated in a
thiekly settled country, its advantages
are a great boon to thousands Of
Americans and Canadians But there
are countless other water power sites
in this country which will be used just
as fast as the population justifies the
expenditure for the necessary plants
The commerce possibilities Of the
water power OF the United States have
been realized for some years. but little
progress has been made in utilizing it,
1t will be different In future.

sPIRIr Oh ECONONIY.

Ever since his Inauguration Presi-
dent Taft has been earnestly striving
to carry on the business OF the gov
eminent on a more economical basis,
without impairing the efficiency of the
service rendered in the various de-
partments.
Much has already been accom-
plished. notably in the postofice de-
partment, but the good work has only
just begun. The various departments
have been instructed to pare the esti-
mates to the limit, and blanks have
been especially prepared for this pur-
pose.
1t is the intention of President
Taft to submit to Congress. when it
meets in December. the best classifi-
cation of estimates ever made, so that
Congress, if IT so desires, can make
the appropriations conform to the
real needs OF the government
There has always been more or less
confusion regarding the various
schedules of expenditures, but under
the new plan for making estimates
ordered by President Taft the whole
matter Will be greatly simplihed.

GERMANY Will LOSE.

Just at present this government and
Germany are deadlOcked over the
question OF abating to a certain extent
the harshness OF the new German law
regarding the export of potash TO the
United States. Under this new law
American contractors seem certain Of
a loss amounting TO several million
dollars.
German potash is used TO a great
extent in the United States as fer
tilizer. and its use was constantly in
creasing up to the time the German
government enacted the new law.
Now some other fertilizer win have to
be found. for the price OF the Ger
man product is prohibitive.
It seems to be undue discrimination
on the part Of Germany against the
United States. and as negotiations
have been broken off a lively COM
mercial war may result. Under the
new tariff law passed by Congress a
year or more ago it is possible to
make the Germans pay dearly for
their action in the potash matter. It
is their own fault If they get the
worst OF the encounter.

TROUBLE IN HONDURAS.

Quiet having been restored IN Mica
ragua, il is probably natural enough
an6 in perfect keeping with precedent
that there should be an eruption in
one of the other Central American
republics. So the trouble in Hon
duras will not cause any great amount
OF surprise.
Nevertheless. the situation is awk-
ward for the United States. True, We
have a little warship or two down
there to protect our interests, but that
fact does not insure peace or the car
rying out OF certain arrangements en-
tered into between this country and
President Davlla regarding the bond
ed debt Of the republic.
1t seems that at the urgent. request
OF the Honduran government the
United States undertook 10 care for
tie above mentioned debt and has
had certain American bankers agree
10 pay IT, In return Honduras was to
issue bonds guaranteed by the Gus
toms and turn them over TO the bank
srs.
A syndicate controlled by ]. 2. Nor
gan made preparations TO make the
loan on condition that the United
States be given the right 10 supervise
the collection and distribution Of the
customs revenues
dent Davilla had the effect Of salts
flying Great Britain, that government
being anxious 10 collect So. zoe. 900
of the bonded debt due it from Hon
duras. The British government is
perfectly willing the leave the settle
ment Of the question in the hands OF
the United states.
No difficulty over the arrangements
made had been anticipated 1t de-
velOped. however, that President Da-
villa had Dot power to carry into eff
feet his agreement with the United
States. The Honduran congress. con-
trolled by Senior Palicarpo Bonilla, re-
fuses 10 give Davilla any support
Thus the matter stands.
President Davilla is not strong
enough to depose General Jose Valla-
dares, CONNIE cdaRt az Amapala. With
ont the assistance OF the United
States. Valladarss having insulted
the American consular agent at ANA
Tala and threatened to shoot up his
residence. perhaps the necessary as
sistance can be. given Davilla without
straining the international code.
In the meantime the revolt IS
spreading and all the malcontents in
Honduras have joined forces against
the Davilla government, Manuel Boz
Rilla, former president. being a nota-
bic exception.

GAIN FOR SUFFRAGE.

The state Of Washington has joined
the little band Of states allowing
women equal rights with men so far
as the voting privilege is concerned.
Moreover. the proposition carried by
an overwhelming majority when sub
mittsd to the electors OF the Sound
state last Tuesday.
The early apostles of woman suf-
frage have all passed into the great
beyond, but the seed they planted is
bearing fruit at last and one by one
the states will fall into line. 1t is
merely a question of time.
About 10000 more votes will be
cast in Washington as a result or the
adoption of the amendment

Cannon could not excel. Mr. Cannon
was merely the instrument of the Re-
publican majority TO work its will.
The Democratic majority will have TO
have its instrument. and the new
speaker, whether he be Mr.. Clark or
some one else. viii have to be that in
strument. And the Democrats who
used the Republican insurgents to
pull their chestnuts out of the fire
know that. They merely put one over
in the House long ago. which helped
them 10 put one over on Tuesday.

beating for it. Like the Irishman at
the DonnybrOok fair, the voter
showed his dissatisfaction by hitting
the first head" he saw, and it was
generally Republican.
1t is a matter for satisfaction that
the Republican party will still have a
majority in the United States Senate.
the Democrats having gained nine
seats in the Senate, or approximately
so. as later returns may increase or
decrease that figure. II was appa-
rentiy a Democratic year. That party
reaped the results of the dissatisfac-
ton with existing conditions and win
have chance 10 try its hand in the
lower house of Congress. 1t is a source
of qualification here in Utah that the
excellent record of Congressman Jo-
seph Howell brought him such a
splendid majority and that the next
legislature will recognize the work of
Senator George Sutherland by return
ing him to the United States Senate.
AS a Republican newspaper. believ-
ing firmly in the principles of the par
try, The Herald-Republican regrets
that many of the exponents Of Reppb-
Iicanism have met defeat. But It
cannot but feel that the result in the
end will be beneficial to the party in
many ways It will serve TO clear the
atmosphere and will unite the party.
It win close the gaps in a way that
victory could not have done. The op-
posing factions will see that they stiI
have their hands full fighting the
common enemy. The clever dodge of
embroiling the members Of q. family
in a row in the kitchen while the en-
terprising burglar. who caused the
trouble. rObs the treasure chest, was
effectively used by the Democrats.
The insurgents who started the con-
test that resulted in a Democratic
victory will find much food for re-
Election in the returns While they
saw the smile on the democratic face
and interpreted it as the friendly look
OF a compatriot. they failed to detect
the stiletto which the smile bearer
deftly concealed up his sleeve. Re-
forming the party from the inside is
me proper place, ana Il Is respect
fully suggested to our sincere but mis-
guided friends that. pathoIogically
speaking. an injury TO one member Of
the family damages the entire family.
Many of the gentlemen within the
ranks or the Republican party who
have been cunning for the scalps of
certain other gentlemen can now re-

others wounds. Sweet are the uses

"wHOM THE LORD LovETH. HE
CHASIENETH."

While early returns from many SEQ
tiOns OF the country are still being
revised. it is apparent that a tidal
wave Of dissatisfaction over existing
conditions has swept the Union, and
that the lower house OF the next Con-
gress viii be Democratic. The high
cost OF living and the mild business
depression We're mainly responsible.
When conditions are not of the best
the party in power must take the
