SMALL FARMS WANTED.

One paragraph in the Lehi Banner
runs this way;
The following young men from Al
pine left Wednesday for Idaho, with
the intention of looking up some good
land: Leonard Bates, Thomas b.
Smith, Ernest Mcdaniel, Don c..
Strong, jr, and Earl Carlysle. They
will first go to Burley district and take
a look at the opportunities offered.
1t is very unfortunate that these are
but a portion of the army of Utah men
who have gone from the state to seek
their fortune in other localities. Utah
loses them, and in so doing, is vastly
the poorer.
And We cannot think those who go
away win a better fortune. We don't
think there are any better lands any
where under the sun that can be found
here in Utah. IF the fathers could
make a living here-and they did-the
boys can certainly get rich. If those
old fellows, with nothing but their
manhood and their unconquerable reso-
luton, could reclaim the desert, the
boys certainly can do even more with
the boundlessly better facilities at their
command.
The state needs small farms. Here
within a radius of twenty miles from
Salt Lake, and in almost every direc-
ton, there is land that can be bought
on the most favorable terms; land of
the greatest possible fertility; lands the
produce of which can be marketed here
in the city at the biggest price obtain
able anywhere.
It is not necessary to say an Unkind
word in judgment of the opportunities
offered by any other state. But it
would be disloyal to Utah to concede
that any man can leave this state and
do better with the land of any other
under the sun.

must rest-On the older men, and on
the women of every community.
There is the warrant for the estab-
Iishment of libraries and gymnasiums.
Boys would rather be clean than IN
clean. They would rather meet in a
good room, with good people, and have
a good time, than to soil their hands
with outlaw ventures at amusement.
They can be provided with entertain
ment that helps them, and it should
be done. The state is doing its full
share in putting these reputable re-
sorts-the library and the gymnasium
within the reach of the boys and
girls of every town in Utah. And it
will be better for-the peace of all fam
lilies, for the good of the boys and the
future of the girls, if advantage be
taken of the opportunities wherever it
has not yet been done.

INDIANS IN UTAH.

According to the World Almanac,
there are seventeen hundred and forty
five Indians in the state of Utah.
Also, there are about thirty-seven
million acres Of government land in
the state.
Every year or so the Indians get
ugly, and the state has to placate or
subdue them. The destruction of prop
.erty is prevented, and the lives of set
tiers and citizens of the nation are
saved-by the state.
If the government would give TO the
state every acre Of government land in
Utah, providing for its sale to actual
settlers, and under contract to cult
vate and improve the land, there would
be no Indian question here. The ma
ton would act in simple fairness to the
state. And the desert would be re-
claimed.
1t is time for the east to recognize
the injustice of the present arrange
ment.

pressive scenic region in the Big Cot
tonwood, and they have even superior
attractions in the end of the journey.
A fine wide road, safe from floods and
well kept at all seasons of the year,
should run from Salt Lake to Brighton.
The lakes at the top of the Wasatch
range are within three hours from Salt
Lake, with a good road and good
machine-such as will be seen at the
automobile show.
The road should be provided.
Then make A speedway to the lake,
and this city will be the desire Of every
auto owners heart. salt Lake viii be-

machines and drivers will be recog-
nfzed as having really achieved a rec
ord only when they have made the trip
to Brighton, and established a reputa-
ton on the speedway.

Salt Lake county will give you every
needed encouragement. You have the
twentieth century machines. Have you

The DUTY OF HE OLDER MEN.

In the current number of the Lehi
Banner there is a letter from William
Sunderland, a resident of Lehi juno
ton, which challenges the attention of
the good people of every section.
It seems that some Junction boys
were having a game of cards, and they
were arrested by Lehi authorities. Mr..
Sunderland makes the point that there
were more card games untroubled by
officers in Lehi than in the Junction,
and that the boys in all cases hide out
their games more because there is no
approvable place for them to pass their
time than because they are Intentional
ly vicious.
There may be difference of opinion
as to the merits of the case in point.
But there is no question the duty of
providing clean pastimes and clean
places for the young resistant always

The One That Tries.

Yes. 1 love the little winner
With the medal and the mark:
He has gained the prize he sought for
He is joyous as lark.
Everyone will haste to praise him.
He is on the honor list;
I've tender thought my darlings
For the one who tried and missed.
One? All, me! They count by thousands
Those who have not gained the race.
Though they did their best and fairest
Striving for the winners place.
Only few can reach the laurel
Many see their chance fit by;
I've tender thought, my darlngs,
For the earnest band who try.
IT'S the trying that is noble;
If you're made of Sterner stuff
Than the laggards who are daunted
When the bit of road is rough,
All viii praise the happy winners;
But when they have hurried by.
I've a song to cheer, my darlings,
The great company that try

"AND THEY STOPPED THERE

That is rather an illustrative incident
the capture by Nicaraguan rebels Of
a government vessel, and the success
ful escape of the captors with their
prize. The thing has all the dash and
romance of Richard Harding Davis
South American novels. The young
fellows simply thrOnged over the side
of the ship, captured her after glo-
rious fight, started the engines, and run
her out into big Lake Managua. She
was armed and equipped, and would
have been a whole navy Of herself
properly manned and commanded.
With that ship and a hundred men
like those that Bolivar once led, the
rebels would have captured five Latin
republics and made terms with all the
rest.
But they stopped there" They took
the ship a hundred miles down the
lake and abandoned her. Not vestige
of fame attaches TO the brOws of the
fellows who so CALAMITY seized ship
and ESCAPED. They stopped there"
Nations are made by men who get an
advantage, and keep it. In vivid con-
trast to that abortive attempt to win
a naval arm for the rebels in Nicaragua
is the fairly similar exploit of young
Ethan Allen, at Fort Ticonderoga.
In the middle of the night the British
commander of that important post was
reused from his comfortable sleep to
hear the gruff challenge of Allen and
his Green Mountain Boys" and the
arbitrary summons to surrender. The
Briton was no coward, and he was no
gutter. He knew the forms of war,
and his reply came instantly: by
what authority do you make this de-
mand?" by the authority of Almighty
God, and the Continental Congress! "
cried Allen. And his boys swept up to
the parapet and over it, and in twenty
minutes they were in fun possession of
the fort.
And, they kept it. They didn't stop
there. This is the test Of a nation, as
it is the test of a man.
They kept it, and other Americans
with the same spirit and same courage
took positions and kept them-til the
thirteen colonies became a nation. And
the people of that nation are today
following the same rule. They are get
ting better places in national life, in
manner of living, in education, in
world in1uence-and keeping them
They are finding other places desired,
and taking possession, and not yieFdfng
them up: not abandoning them-as did
the young men who made so high a
bid for fame at Managua-and then
weakly flung away everything they
had no nobly won.

WHY THEY FAIL
MOST PILE REMEDIES MISS THE
CAUSE OF PILES.

Disagreeable treatment with oint-
ments or suppositories usually fails to
cure piles and cutting them off won't
the cause. Such treatment only
moderates the outside effects Of the
disease and fails to remedy the inside
cause. The up-tO- date doctors now use
internal medicine, to free the circula-
ton in the lower bowel, and so re-
move the disease.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-Final settlement OF
the strike among express company en-
ployes which tied up the express business
of the big transcontinentsl companies in
this city for several weeks recently was
effected early today, when a meeting Of
the drivers and helpers voted to accept
the terms offered by their employers. The
men returned to work some time ago on
the understanding that an adjustment as
to wages and hours would be reached by
December 1. The agreement now reached
goes into effect today.
An advance OF from to per cent in
wages was agreed to by the majority Of
the companies II was understood that
there will be further negotiations with the
Adams Express company officials, the men
OF that company not being entirely salts
fled with the terms offered but accepting
the new schedule tentatively The eleven
hour day will rule for all the men and
work on Sundays and holidays will not be
required. The new agreement establishes
the open shop.
The dragging Of the negotiations through
the last several days had caused fears Of
a possible Christmas tieup Of express mat
ter, but these were dissipated by the
agreement reached today.

Oil and Live Stock
Interests Have Their
Inning at Hearing
Evidence in Eastern Case is Completed
and Agreement Reached for Ar
guments to Begin January 8,

WASHINGTON. Dec. las the final
chapter Of the testimony in the eastern
trunk line freight advance case, witnesses
testified before the Interstate Commerce
commission today that the increases would
seriously handicap the independent oil and
live stock industries. @. W. Boltz, traffic
manager OF the National Petroleum com
pany, contended that instead Of an increase
reduction in the freight rates was i'm
perative II the Independents were to be per-
mltted to exist.
william W. Rorer Of Philadelphia, a GER
titled public accountant. who has been
examining the accounts OF the Union Pc
troleum company, testified that the com
panys total volume Of sales was $4,000 900
annually. that its plant and equipment was
valued at $3.50 O00 and that the net annual
profit was $4,000 from which must be de-
Quoted $4,000 for depreciation Of property.
S. II. Cowan Of Fort Worth, Texas, coun-
sci for the Cattle Raisers' association and
the American Live Stock association said
the advance spelled injustice to his inter
ests, the increased schedule ranging from
10 to 10 per cent.
James l. White Of Kansas City, traffic
manager of the Burnham- Hanna Munger
company, stated that the increases carried
an additional cost to them Of $4,000 a year.
This closed the testimony.
Counsel for both sides in conference
reached an agreement that Frank Lyon
for the shippers should open oral argu-
ments on January 8, when the eastern
trunk lines territory case would be taken
up. The arguments in the western case,
It was agreed, would begin on January 16.

The Newport News company will con-
struct the batueshlp in thirty-six months
and guarantees twenty-one knots speed.
II Is generally believed az the Navy de-
partment that lack OF competition for the
battleship contracts was due TO the pub
licaton IN the naval appropriation bill
supulaung that the work must be done in
accordance with the eight-hour Law.
As all the proposals Of the Newport News
company are under the S6Oo0OO0 limit pre-
scribed by law. Il is generally believed the
company will receive the contract
The two battieships will be the largest

Wilson VIII he the

LOUISVILLE, KY. Dec. 1.-Some Of
the governors attending the third annual
conference here will leave with carefully
prepared discourses on intricate subjects
tucked away for future reference. The
social feature OF the conference has been
paramount and has taken so much time
that little business has been transacted.
At the session this morning general dis
cussion Of Governor Hadeys address Of
yesterday was taken up, He spoke on
Employers Liability and Workmen's
Compensation" Various IDEAS were given
but each was to the effect that our laws
on these subjects we're inadequate and
that the states should carefully revise
them. The appalling death rate on rail-
roads and in mines Of this country were
compared with the lower rate in European
countries in discussing the vast differ
ence in laws OF foreign nations and ours
regarding the liability OF employers.
An interesting Figure.
Though not a member Of the confer
ence, one Of the interesting figures at
this meeting lie Gamaliel Bradford Of
Boston, who was accorded the honor Of
addressing the body, even though II was
pressed for time. Naturally, the governors
liked his speech, advocating more power
for the chief executive and curblng of
legislatures He bears a remarkable re-
sernblance TO Speaker Cannon and came
from Boston on his own inahative to
preach a doctrine which he thinks will
materially aid the states and crystallze the
movement for yearly conference OF
governors that will bring benents to the
people
New Jersey had great advantage over
other states In laying its vlaims for the
next meeting OF the governors. II Is the
only state represented by a governor and
a governor-elect and the place they asked
the conference to convene Is remote from
. those social activities that the visitors
have partaken OF here. The theory is
advanced that more real work will be
done at Spring Lake, N. j., than would
be done at any state capital where the
residents naturally would want to shower
entertainment upon such a distinguished
assemblage. Other states wanted the next
conferences, but two talking for New Jersey
and the added Inducements Of Spring

Wilson was made the host.
