AND MR. MoREToN, 1907

No one likes TO think that Mr. J. 3.
Noreton, formerly a city recorder, now
d councilman, has done wrong. He was
elected by votes of people who believed
him entirely fair and honest. They are
of the kind considerably prejudiced
against d public official using his power
To force men into patronizing him in
business.
Some Of the objection 70 our Mormon
friends has been based on the state
ment that they interfere in business;
thai they use their church positions to
compel conduct which should be free.
But we do not remember that they have
been accused of anything quite so bad
as making a saloon man insure in their
companies on pain of taking his license
away. If they have done these things,
they have done wrong. And if Mr.
Moreton has been doing anything of the
kind, he has been doing wrong, too.
OF course, the ugly rUmors that have
been flying about the city for weeks re-
ceVed only d suggestion of accusation
in the council meeting Monday night.
But even the hints and inuendoes there
employed rather smirch the character
of Mr.. MoTetOn.
We don't want to think ne is guilty.
We trust he may be able TO successfully
challenge the proof to the contrary.
This is the city council of Salt Lake
The good name of the city is in its
keeping. It is not desirable that any
member of the council shall use his
power there TO threaten and coerce any
man, at any time, or i'm any manner.

A Man to Lean On.

a man TO lean On'-are you SUCH
O neighbor, in your pride?
Where do you stand when comes death s
clutch
That will not be denied?
For woe still stalks the old world through
And loving hearts still bleed:
When dear ones fain would lean on you
Are you a broken reed?
"A man to lean On'-are YOU one
To whom the grieVing turn
When some dread days descending sun
Is blurred by tears that burn?
Know you the words that bring relief,
That salve the hearts of men?
When woman turns in VOiceless grief.
Where is your mans strength then?
"A man to lean on'-faith tbs fine
To earn those words as praise
To know that, comforting, benign,
You helped DER stony ways
Some child of fate in mornings dress,
Some soul in dTest need.
Who turned to you in WEAKNESS,
And found no broken reed.

FARMERS SCHOOL AT PROVO.

1t is doubtful if workers in the farm
eTs' schools in Utah will achieve results
more beneficial anywhere than in Utah
community Of farmers who are pro-
gressive, who know the value of their
holdings and want to make the best use
of their possessions, and whose boys
and girls will listen with avidity to the
teachings of the men and women who
have a helpful message to deliver.
These schools should be more pro.
ductive of good to the state than any
other like activity. So much depends
on the farm and the farmer that any
effort tending to make his work more
profitable, more certain Of good results,
more easy of accomplishment, and more
pleasant for himself and for his family,
goes to the very core of things. It ex-
tends its benefit to every avenue of life
in the state.
| For many years it has been the gen
eral fashion TO scott at the farmer. Peo-
/ pie called him a "Rube." They dis
missed a new and disliked acquaintance
with the statement that he has hay
seed in his hair" They called the
clumsy boy a 'clodhopper."
| All that continued for years and IN
every section Of country, has had the
! effect of making boys dread to live on
the farm. II has driven them to cities
1t has filed to overlooking the ranks of
the army of the unemployed And the
effect of it is that the boys in cities are
in vastly worse condition than the fell
] lows they have left on the farm.
The latter have shelter, and an as
surance Of food from day to day. The

FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF.

On Friday, January twenty eighth,
Henry Cabot Lodge delivered an adj
dress in the United States Senate which
should be read by every thinking person
who believes that the tariff has in any
measure caused the high cost Of living.
Also, any person who has cherished
the belief that the tariff has not been
the basic reason for the good wages Of
labor, should read the same address.
For this matter is important to every
citizen of the United States. 1t goes to
the very core of the question. Men are
careful about the titles TO their land.
They want to be sure of income, and
the security of their homes. Here is a
matter as important as any other. It
is not wise to accept the statements Of
rrejudiced commentators, when the EVIL
dence of the value of the tariff to the
wage Garner and the consumer is ready
10 their hands.
The speech goes into details, SO that
nothing is left incomplete. 1t is the
fashion with Senator Lodge to make
his arguments conclusive. He produces
the proof. He brings in his evidence.
And the man who is reasonable, the
man who is looking for the truth. will
not fail of being convinced. But the
speech with its evidence is too long for
any newspaper to print. 1t can be Sc
cured by addressing any member of the
Utah delegation. and it can be seen and
read frcm the files of the Congressional
Record in this office.
Let the fair man make up his mind to
one thing: The policy Of protection has
been engrafted on the system Of our
government. It is a part of the polity
Of the nation. 1t is one of the prinei-
pies which the big men of the country,
both now and for the past thirty years.
have examined and approved,
Those men are not aiming at haTass-
not trying to add to the burdens of
American wOTkingmen, or American
consumers. They have been the big
men of the nation because they have
proved their fitness for that station.
And this is their judgment: That the
protective tariff does make wages of
labor higher, and does net increase the
cost of living. And you may have the
proof of it in probably its best form by
getting and carefully reading this
speech of Senator Lodge.
Men should decide for themselves
when they can. The matter is OF
enough Importance for them to devote
to it a little OF their best research and
their best time. And when they do, we
believe they viii agree with the sem
ator from Massachusetts,. They will say
that the action of the nations law
makers was right; that the protective
tariff is a help 10 every man who has
Iabor-skiIled or otherwise-to sell; and
that it does not at all add to the cost
of the things on which he and his fam
lily must live.

EFFECT OF eoop FARMING.

One of the state papers repeats the
view of a seller of agricultural imple-
ments. Some resident said to him:
What would you fellows do if the
farmers took care of their imple-
ments?" And it is reported that the
seller of implements replied: If the
farmers Of Utah would spend one
tenth of the money for sheds they now
lose in neglected implements, not half
the agricultural implement houses of
the state could continue in business"
But there the seller Of machinery is
wrong.
The same sentiment which would lead
the farmers to shelter their machinery
would open more land. The same SEN
timent which would compel a farmer to
take his machinery into sheds in in
element weather; take care of it as he
would of his stock, would encourage the
reclamation of additional acres; would

former have neither. The farm boys
are Independent CT any man on earth.
The boys who went to the city are de-
pendent on scores of men and thousands
of incidents-not one of which they car
control.
1t is the effect of the farm schools to
make life more profitable and more
pleasant on the farm. Utah county peo-
pie have wit to see the benefits, and
they are expected to take advantage of
the school. 1t will help them, and that
should be the sufficient reason for their
appearance.
For the farmers of Utah are of the
great company which is this day re-
buking the taunts that have been
launched at the farm and the farmer.

THE BOY IN THE PooLRooM.

One of the poolroom prOprietors, when
convicted on the charge of permitting
boys &c play in his place, declared he
had no means of knowing the age of a
boy.
And, in way, that is true.
But the gentleman running pool
room Will have to make a good guess.
He can't go wrong by closing the doors
to a boy younger than the law allows
there.
PooI-room managers have as much
sense as any one else has. Most any
one else can tell when a boy is too
young TO be allowed in those places. The
fair and right way is to simply tell the
boys they cannot play, nor loaf there.
The boys know why. If they are of
/ legal age, they viii be quick to prove it.
If they be not, they will accept the pro-
hibition, and never think less of the
manager. In fact, they think less of
him for harboring them when they
know, and he knows, they have no
rightful business there.
And the community viii not look with
entire patience on the defense set up
I by the convicted and appealing man
ager. The public expects the manager
/ of pool-rooms to obey the law. If he
l isn't inclined to do so; if he is disposed
to make his place a harborage of boys,
/ he is laying up trouble for himself
and lots of it.
Unless we are very much mistaken in
/ the temper Of this city, it will be well
( for the accused pool-room managers to
settle their cases, and then quit letting
| boys come in.

Why Not Come
To Dakota =?

Why not come to Dakota ?"
asks the Aberdeen Republican.
The marvel of it is that men
who farm for a living in a rug.
ged country like eastern Ohio do
lot locate in a state like South
Dakota, where nature yields up
her treasures with such lavish
hand with so much less labor.
Upon the hills and hollows Of
a rougher country the efforts Of
farming is multiplied many fold
over what it is upon the fertile
prairies OF Dakota, and the re-
ward for the same amount OF
work is so far less that the ob-
server can but wonder why it is
pursued.
Wheat fields upon the eloping
sides OF bills and diminutive
cornfields interspersed with to-
bacco patches ars vastly differ
ent from the vistas of waving
grain in Brown and other cOun-
ties of this state. and yet the
work of cultivating the farm is
less here than there.
Everywhere in the west the
most eager advantage is taken
of improved farm machinery
that will save labor Or improve
methO0s of cultivation. Upon
eastern Ohio farms there seems
to be q reluctance to abandon
the ancient devices which in
many places have been sup
planted by more improved ideas.
This fact and the difference in
the nature OF the country give
rise to the wonder why men will
fight on in barren fields for q
pittance while the broad acres
OF this state are waiting to re
ward with generous bount,
hall the effort they DOW pu
forth.

Farmers Should Not Modest
Prairie Chickens

according to Mr.. Johnson, the
farmers Of the county can aid in
|keeping the prairie chickens
alive BY allowing them to live
iii their cornfields without mo-
lestation. In his own corntield
of about 40 acres he counted 20
prairie chickens in the flock.
This is the first winter the prai-
rie chickens have gathered in
his cornfleld in anything like
these numbers. The birds,
though evidently in search OF
food, did not seem to be in a
starving condition and Mr..
j ohnson proposes to take care
of them uutil the spring thaw
giving them q chance to procure
food. Though Mr.. johnson is
interested in the prairie chickens,

never shot one.-Grand Forks
