THE WAsHINGTON HEIRS.

The heirs of George Washington
are hoping the rumor that Congress
is going TO compensate them for
1905, coo worth of land said to have
been taken from them without war
rant of law viii prove true.
Just how many Washington heirs
remain alive is not known, but there
are claimants enough to divide the
s3O5,OOO into fractions if it IS thrown
in their direction.
The last claimant to bob up is one
George N. Roberts Of Ohio, who
warns the chairman of the House
committee on private land claims that
he is the only heir and, therefore. en-
titled 10 the entire sum.
According to the revised version,
Providence left Washington chndless
in order that a bunch of heirs Of the
forty-seventh degree Of consequently
might scrap over his estate.

RUSSIA RAISING HOGS.

Owing to the high prices Of Amer
scan meats. The British people are
looking elsewhere for their supply.
For many years beef and bacon and
hams from the United States have
dominated the market in London,
Liverpool and the other large cities.
There are indications that this con.
dition Of affairs will not last much
longer.
While the supply has been short
during the past year, the demand has
also been steadily decreasing, the peo-
pie being unable to pay the prices
asked. They have also been looking
around for another source Of supply,
and have found it in the limitless
tracts Of land in Siberia.
At present the freight rates from
Russia are so nigh as TO prevent OK
.ensiYe expectations, but with increas-

BUTTER PRICES BOOSTED.

War has been declared between the
Chicago packers and the Elgin butter
brokers, with the result that the price
has been boosted L cent a pound. The
big packers, who buy large quantities
Of butter at this season Of the year
and store it, have cut out the brokers
and are buying the butter direct at
producing centers.
The brokers, therefore, have ad-
vanced the price in order to get even
with the big packers and prevent
them from obtaining a supply If pos
sible. If the plan is carried out and
the war continues. it means much
higher prices for butter during June
and July, according to the best ad-
vices
The news OF the increase will not be
welcome to the consumers, who fond
ly supposed that during this season of
the year at least something like a
moderate price would prevail. With
the packers and the brokers bidding
against each other, that hope has been
dashed to the ground.
The law Of supply and demand
hasn't anything to do with cases of
this kind. It's speculation pure and
simple, with the consumer certain to
be robbed as a result.

ANCIENT DoCroRs WE'LL PAID.

The physicians of Babylon a couple
Of thousand years and more before
the Christian era were of sufficient
Importance to have their fees regu-
lated by the king. The late President
Harper of the University Of Chicago
translated the code of Hammurabi re-
Iating to physicians as follows:
"215. If a physician operate on a
man for a severe wound Cor make a
severe wound on a MANI with q
bronze lancet and save the mans life,
or if he open an abscess Gin the eye)
of man with a bronze lancet and
save that mans eye. he shall receive
10 shekels of silver Gas his fee).
"216. If he be a freeman, he shall
receive 8 shekels.
"217. If it be man slave, the
owner Of the slave shall give shek-
els Of silver to the physician.
1921. If a physician set a broken
bone for a man or cure his diseased
bowels, the patient shall give five go
shekels Of silver to the physician.
IL ne NC d lISC4iAdIl, he Sil11A
give 3 shekels of silver.
1928. If it be mans slave. the
owner Of the slave shall give shekels
Of silver to the physician.
''218. If a physician operate on a
man for a severe wound with a bronze
lancet and cause the mans death. or
open an abscess Gin the eye) of a man
with a bronze lancet and destroy the
mans eye. they shall cut off his fin
gers.
"219. If physician operate on a
slave Of freeman for a severe wound
with a bronze lancet and cause his
death he shall restore a slave of equal
value"
Ten shekels Of silver would be
worth between $500 and $1,000 today.
and as a laborer could earn about
shekels a year. the physicians Of
Babylon were fairy well paid for
their services. The cost of living was
probably high in those days, and the
doctors were paid accordingly.

SANE CELEBRATIONS.

Owing to the agitation kept up by
the newspapers, the sane Fourth of
July has taken root IN many locali-
ties, and It is hoped the list of killed
and wounded, victims Of the giant
cracker, toy pistols and other death
dealing devices, viii not be SO large
as in former years.
Philadelphia is to have a patriotic
program, with a military parade and
display Of fireworks under public au-
thority. The games Of the children
in the public parks and Fairgrounds
will be supervised to prevent acct
dents.
Indianapolis has abolished the gun
powder and dynamite nuisance, and
will substitute a program with the
danger feature eliminated.
Pittsburg Will have a spectacular
representation of epochs and events
in our national history.
Springfield, Mass. win repeat its
experiment Of last year and celebrate
the Fourth with a parade, public
OoSA0 COh%cA ~ 4cAA0 anu HdlCT
a historical pageant and municipal
fireworks.
Chicago has planned q parade and
maneuvers by 5000 troops, together
with an airship fete with free seats
for $4,000 children, the authorities
expecting to keep the populace busy
and interested.
All over the country the signs of
sanity are becoming more and more
visible. Here in salt Lake we are
to have one more year of dynamite
bombs and other dangerous explo-
sives. It should be the last time the
sale of such diabo1cal articles is per-
mitted, and some restrictions should
be placed upon their use as It Is
1t is only a matter of a compare
lively short time before the nations
natal day arrives. In the meantime
it would be well to provide some pro-
gram of entertainment for the pur-
pose Of eliminating to the fullest ex-
tent possible the great danger to hui
man life and limb.

ing trade 1t is expected more favor
able terms viii be secured before
long. Russia has not been known as
q hog-producing country heretofore,
her coming to the front in this respect
being entirely due to the shortage in
the United States.
Instead Of this country being the
granary and storehouse Of food prod
ucts for the world, such distinction
will go to Russia In the near future.
The Russians have exported wheat for
many years; now that they have be-
gun the raising Of cattle and hogs for
the European market, the pressure on
the United States should be relieved
and prices go lower.
Even under existing conditions,
Americans are much better of as re-
CARDS meat prices than the general
run Of Europeans. In many places
on the continent the poorer classes
regard meat as one Of the greatest of
Injuries. and many of them do not
taste 1t from one years end to an
other.
over here, however, the authorities
are making war upon trust prices At
Valencia, in Spain, the continued ten
dency of the butchers association
and combinations Of butchers and cat
tie statesmen to increase prices is met
by the municipal authorities estab-
fishing what are called Regulating
butchers stalls" at which frst-class
beef and mutton are sold by the mu-
nicipality at cost prices plus a mod
crate profit
While such action keeps the COM
binations within bounds, the price Of
meat is still too high for the poor peo-
pie, and they remain vegetarians by
force of circumstances.
The situation is much the same in
other countries. Meat is a luxury
and will always remain so unless Rus
STA, Argentina and Australia enter
the markets of the world with a con-
stantIy increasing supply.

coon ROADS N MISSOURI.

The good roads movement is be-
ginning to bear fruit. From Licking
ton. No, comes the news that the
people of that enterprising commu-
nifty and the farmers in the vicinity
have just voted $4,000 in bonds for
the purpose of building roads in a
road district eight miles square.
The amount of money lost annual
ly in the United States on account of
the lack Of good roads cannot be esti-
mated It is said to run into the hun
dreds of millions. Be the estimate
high or low, the loss is certainly
enormous.
In the early days of the develop
ment of the west many counties and
cities voted bonds to aid in the build
ing of railroads. The railroads came
ana every dollar invested in them has
been repaid many times over.
Railroads alone are not sufficient
to meet the demands caused by in
creasing population and industrial
enterprise. They serve the purpose
Of furnishing communication between
the local markets and eenters of con-
sumption, and are. of course, of pri-
mary Importance
Good roads between the farms and
the railroads is the next step, and the
Lexington people have taken action
that promises important results, not
only for the farmer, but for all those

NEW PEACE MOVEMENT.

A worldwide peace movement in
the name Of the late King Edward
has been started in London with a
great deal OF enthusiasm. The fame
Of Edward VII rests upon his activ-
ity in the promotion of peace during
his life, SO it is appropriate that the
new movement should bear his name.
1t is said that Emperor William of
Germany is DESTROYS of following in
the footsteps of his uncle as an ad-
vocate Of peace. and will play the
leading part il the new program. AS
the kaiser holds the key to the stu
alton in many respects on the Eu-
ropean continent his action will go
far toward settling the vexed prob
lem.

who are dependent upon his hauls to
market.
It must eventually mean a consid-
cradle lessening of the tax that now
falls heavily upon the produce of the
farm between the time when It is
taken from the soil and the time
when it reaches the ultimate con-
sumner. Give the Missourians credit
least.

PEACE IN LIBERIA.

The wild tribesmen who have been
making trouble for the black republic
OF Liberia, have taken the oath of
allegiance and promised to be good
in future. That settles one difficulty
for the sorely harassed Liberians.
Now, If Great Britain and France
would give assurances that there
would be no further encroachments
on the territory OF the little republic,
there might be some hope for it.
Perhaps when the new peare pro-
gram is put into effect the small coun-
tries, as well as the great nations,
may be allowed to exist.

NO MORE T1NKERTNG.


While certain people in the United
States insist upon another revision of
the tariff right away, with the avowed
object of eliminating it's protective
features. many of the leading states
men of Great Britain are making
fight upon the free trade policy Of
that country.
immigration from the United King
dom is increasing to such an extent
that those who have the welfare Of
their country at heart are taking
alarm. Sir Gilbert Parker. a men,
Der of the British parliament, speak
ing on this subject recently, said:
There is depression in every depart
ment of our Industrial life Men
shake the dust of England OFF
their feet and say THANK Cod!
as they go, because they go to
countries where there is work t.
get and permanent work TO De
had-where they can increase
their standard of living and claim
higher wage; where the work
man and the manufacturer COM
bine to defeat the unfair compe-
titien of foreign nations. No
workman in any of our colonies
or in the United States wants TO
come back to free trade: they
had II and they had enough of it.
That there should be eXUltattOn
on the part of thousands OF our
fellow countrymen leaving these
shores for want Of opportunity TO
earn a decent living is queer
Interpretation or the facts- NO
other country shows such an
exodus; no other country wants
to show it.
England is losing her bone and
sinew on account of free trade; her
workingmen are seeking other shores
in order to secure employment no
longer obtainable at home on account
of the prevailing depression. Why
should this country place itself in
like position?
Master minds Of Great Britain, such
as Joseph Chamberlain, Moreton
-Frewen and Sir Gilbert Parker, warn
US against taking such a course. and
we have the example of the mother
country before US. Unless we are in
sane, we shall never take the plunge.
The existing tariff law marks the
extreme length we car safely go. In
deed. there are those who believe we
have proceeded too far already. The
objection to the Payne-Aldrich law,
the one valid objection. is the fact
that it has increased the importation
of foreign goods to too large an ex-
tent
During the month of March the i'm
ports aggregated in value S162, 955,-
076, while the exports were only
sI4S,7OO,46S. The exports were less
than the imports also in February.
For the nine months ending in March,
partly under the old law. the excess
of exports was s16S,673,2ST, as COM
pared with an excess Of more than
twice that amount for the correspond
ing time ending March, last year, and
three times that amount for the cor
responding time ending with March,
1907.
So the balance of trade is against
US to the extent Of nearly 100000
600, taking March as a basis. To let
down the bars would increase the i'm
ports, paralyze the industries of the
country, throw hundreds Of thousands
of workingmen out Of employment
and reduce the United States to the
level of free trade England.
If we are riding for a fall we shall
surely get it by further tinkering
with the tariff.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WILL SEE THE SIGHTS
Excursion to Be Made to San
Fernando Valley and the
Sespe Oil Field

The excursion committee of the
chamber of commerce is busy prepar-
ing plans for the 116th sightseeing and
business boosting event which the
great advertising bureau has arranged,
which will leave Los Angeles for a
three days trip through the San Fer
nando valley and Sespe country on
May 10.
Besides the San Fernando valley,
with it's great orchards and grain
ranches, the route will cover the Syl-
mar olive grove, said to be the largest
in the world, and which furnishes a
fancy grade of oil, recognized in all
markets, and will include a visit to
the old San Fernando mission, built
in 1897 and still in a fair state or
preservation.
Other points of interest visited will
be Newhall, the pioneer oil town of
Southern California; Camulos, to which
a niche in the walls of fame has been
