Can They, Dare They, DO 1t.



The President, Speaker Cannon and Senators Cullom
and LOrimer have promised to define the principles of
genuine Repubcansm in letters to be read before the
Illinois Republican Editorial association at its meeting In
Springfield next Tuesday,
Can they, dare they, do it, Can they, and dare
they, draw broad black line between Repubcansm and
Organism, Republicansm and Socialism Republicanism
and Roosevetsm, Republicanism and Despotsm9
No doubt they they dare it will be well for the
Republican party and for the country For then the lead
ers will lead in definite direction And no battle is
really lost until the leaders fighting for right and
enduring principles
But if they cannot if they dare not they might as
well be silent With the to whom they will speak

drawing of the line between what is Repubcanism and
what not passing affair in four years once
in two It is the necessary business and duty of every
day.
The trouble with the Republican party today the
maady In whose grip it losses and wastes away--is
that the rank and file look for sign and get They
look for a confident word of inspiring command, and
hear only confused cries.
The Republican partys and this country's great need
today is what is sometimes called ''fanatca spirit
the spirit that will not barter the eternal vertes for
of poage the spirit that fears not to fight and fall
for the freedom that fathers handed down to
The leadership that is not filled with that spirit
that is not ready to make its sacrifices as well

confusion twice COMPOUNDED.

mighty volume OF food formerly pro-
duced at the home is now secured from
the grocer or the market gardener.
That is one factor in the high cost of
living.
And, for the most part, what was
possible ten or twenty years ago is pos
sible now. True, there are a good many
more apartment houses now than then:
and one cannot raise much in fat-at
least not much desirable for eating. But
there still remain multitude of homes
where little patch of ground could be
cultivated to advantage.
Even where the inner sections of the
block are occupied by houses unknown
in former years. there is still ground
enough to save money for the family.
There is still plenty Of time for this
years gardening. And in all of life
there is nothing more delightful than
this garden labor, and the growing,
thriving, excellent stuff that is produced
there.

public domain and its handling. Need
less difficulties will not be thrown in
the way of private enterprise. Every
reasonable encouragement will be af-
forded to men who are willing to risk
their money and their time in making
available the resources of the CONT
nent. There will be a better feeling be-
tween the unorganized masses of the
people on the one hand, and the pro-
moters Of enterprise on the other.
In the past there has been far too
much Of anger, to much effort at retail
alton. Capitalists have felt that the
people were hostile to them, and the
people have felt that capital was trying
only to rob them. Neither ha. been
right. A better understanding VIII
come out of the big controversy. The
water power Of the country will be util-
lied, and the people will get the benefit
of every stream that runs down hill.
The minerals will be taken from the
ground wherever they are discovered,
and placed at the use and disposal Of
the people. Industry will increase, be-
cause the facilities for industry are
more abundant.
Utah and every other western state
should go forward more in the next ten
years than in all the preceding fifty.

LIFE WAS TOO HARD FOR HER.

Here is story that rather takes
hold of the sympathies of the reader
A nine-year-old little girl in Delaware
had to go downstairs and get breakfast
for her father. Her mother was i'll, and
the father had some chores" which he
always did for a neighbor in the morn
ing before he started for his regular
days work. In that interim. during the
usual preparation of breakfast, ne man
aged to increase an income that was
none too large at best.
The morning in question the little girl
went down and lighted the fire. Her
thin skirts caught the blaze, and she
tried TO get out of the house before she
was forced to scream. She didn't want
to alarm her mother. Something bigger
than heroism in that And the cruel
flames burned her SO that she died
from the effects Of them.
Little nine-year-old girl! They found
her at the side of the alley wall, where
she had evidently tried to wrap herself
in a piece of old carpet, that she had
evidently dragged from the kitchen
floor as she hurried to place where
the pain-driven cries would not reach
the sick mothers ears.
Only nine years old, and had to get
breakfast That may not be uncom-
mon, but it is pathetic. Take up the lit
tie girls of your home. and put your
arms about them, and thank the good
Lord they are more fortunate. Thank
the Lord thas you are well and able to
take care q them.

A NEW AND A BETTER ERA.

There is no great harm without some
good. All this noise about forestry and
reserves and policies and domain and
rights and franchises; all this quarrel
of big men in the national councils, will
result in a better understanding of the
whole matter of the public's possessions,
and the best way for the public TO get
good out Of them.
Coal in the ground does no one any
good Coal mOnopolized by a churlisk
magnate who doesn't mine it and bring
it to market doesn't do any good. Wa
ter power that isn't used is no help to
the people. Water power that is filed
on by some pirate who neither develops
it himself nor permits anyone else to
develop it, is even less valuable to the
people-and consequently to the nation.
1t is pretty clear that, to have the
natural resources of the nation made
serviceable, the private capital of citi-
zens of the nation will have to be en-
ployed. The state cannot well do it.
The nation cannot, either. And the pri-
vate company that is granted rights
and uses them to bring the resources to
the service Of the people, and that risks
the money in the enterprise, is entitled
to a fair profit on his investment.
That is one Of the things which will
come out of all this discussion Of the

WHERE ARE THE eARDENs7

Until within a very few years ago
practically every home in Salt Lake was
possessed of garden. In these gar
dens the families raised by their own
labors all the vegetables and green stuff
they needed for the year. Often some
thing was produced for sale. But IN
countless cases the home ground
produced--besides other necessaries-
enough potatoes for the entire consump-
ton of the family from the first in the
early summer to the last in the late
spring.
An average family thus saved at least
twenty dollars year-and had its pro-
duce fresh from the earth. Now the
garden is the exception. Scarcely any
one thinks of raising vegetables for the
household table. At the low estimate of
ten dollars to the family per year a

THE MAN WITH THE SMUT POT.

In the general voice of praise for
Washington. as usual loudest at the an
niversary Of his birthday, there were
some discordant notes. The man with
the smut pot carried also a cracked
trumpet; and whenever he heard the
virtues of Washington extolled, he flung
a handful of mud at the pictured por-
trait Of one Of Americas first and
greatest men, and at the same time
footed his derision at the honoring of
a good name.
That is bad enough when practiced
only by the irresponsible scribblers in
big cities-the men who believe there is
a market for everything in the nature
OF protest from the general view. 1t
is worse when an educator, a school
man. joins in the unhallowed chorus.

ity and murder. He is in company with

takes delight in dimming the fame of

character indeed. The man who sees
no value to youth in the story of great
deeds by American leaders is both low
and dangerous.
For there is no motive in LIE more
impelling to the young than the respect
ana veneration paid to Americas great
men. There is no incentive so strong as
the impulse to emulate their virtues.
There is no aim so high as to be worthy

"HYsTERIA" AT ALBANY.

Far be it from a western man to pre-
sumo to advise in New York politics.
Things political odt here are managed
with honesty, efficiency, ability, and
wholly in the interest Of the people. So
that, when conditions arise in New
York contrasting with this simple man
uer, we of the west are inclined to silent
surprise. We do not presume to sug-
gest. We simply say the state man.
ayers at Albany are acting like a pack
of darned fools.
The existence of systematized bribery
in the legislature there stands estab-
lished. And when leaders. Of the party
at Washington declare the party at Al
bany must "clean up" one of the
Spokesman of the cabal declares the
Washington warning is all "hysteria Z"
And in the judgment Of all honest men,
people who take that position are un-
worthy TO represent their party, or their
people, and are in the most indefensi-
BILE manner betraying both.
Senators and representatives cannot
sell legislation, in New York or any
where else. Bridge companies may
have lots Of money, and be willing to
spend it in securing or preventing leg
islative action affecting their interests
But the man who sells himself either
temporarily or permanently to them de-
bases himself. hurts his constituency,
and inficts a grievous harm on his
party. Unless the wrong is rectifed by
the punishment of the offenders and the
taking of control out of their hands,
the party. the state and the nation is
seriously damaged. And passing it by
unnoticed, or condoning It with the
palaver that it doesn't amount to much
anyway, or that it has been the custom,
simply consigns to his proper place in
the mire the wight who does wrong.
This isn't hysteria. 1t is the solidest
sort Of sense. The Republican party
and any other party-deserves to be
beaten If it cannot turn out the rascals
who have no better conception Of honor
and service than is expressed in that

FAIRNESS FOR Mr.. EccLEs.

There is no disposition on the part of
any good man in Utah to see the laws
violated; no desire to have the rights
of the people invaded; no wish to I'M
fairly or improperly lessen the public
domain. But there is, on the other
hand. a definite wish that, even in the
case of a man indicted, on a charge of
having secured forest land in violation
Of law. he shall have a square deal at
the hands Of the communicated the
government.
Mr.. David Eccles. one Of the foremost
citizens of Utah, has been charged with
conspiring with others for the unlawful
securing of public lands In Oregon. The
making Of such an accusation is serious
enough; but the prominence of the man
rather than the nature OF the charge
or the probability of guilt, usually
measures the attention attracted.
David Eccles has occupied a nron-
inent place in the west for so many
years that he is known to a great num-
Der Of men. He is a man of wealth and
great business activity, and has had
dealings with a multitude Of people
His character for probity is far
too well known for the Indictment
alone to convince anyone who
knows him that he has been guilty.
of even the smallest wrong. He has
helped in far too many instances in the
advancement of his fellow citizens to
receive now anything less than their
confident loyalty.
He may be assured of a perfect sus-
pension of judgment. No one is going
to believe badly Of him unless the fact
be admitted by him or uncontrovertibIv
proven In fair and unpretudiced court
That is the view of a host of men in
Utah and Idaho and Oregon-and wher-
ever else Mr. David Eccles has been
known.
