POULTRY.

Some very enterprising statistician has figured
it out that the hens of the United States produce
each year more wealth than do all the coal mines,
and their eggs are worth more than all the dia-
monds in the country Whether the statistician
based his figures on the prices of poultry and eggs
shipped into the big packing centers during the
summer figured that eggs are worth more than
diamonds by the winter prices of the former COM
modify, is not necessary to know. 1t is an inter
esting fact, if fact it is But whether Utah chick
ems and eggs are worth more than the product of
Utah coal mines is open to an honest doubt. We
mine lots of coal in Utah, and we do not have any
too many chickens or eggs. The truth is that
goodly supply of poultry and eggs come from
other states, and good money is sent out from
Utah rob the people of other states of their sup
plies of eggs and chickens, though those misguided
ones probably imagine they are robbing Utah of
her money As long as there is more money than
eggs here however, the people viii be able to
stand the strain.
But why should Utah send away for something
which can be produced at home? That is ques-
ton the Utah Poultry association is going to try
to impress upon us by poultry exhibit plans of
which are being worked out. The exhibitors want
to show the public that as fine chickens can be
raised here as anywhere, and they are unselfsh
enough to give public exhibitions of their stock to
induce others to enter the business in which they
are making living. They know that the local
market will stand lot more competition, and they
invite it. And when the local market is supplied,
they will reach out and grasp new markets. When
that condition Obtains Utah will not only have the
money now sent out of the state for her egg and
chicken supply but she will also have the eggs and
chickens.
May success attend the unselfsh work of the
Utah Poultry association.

MAINE AND UTAH.

The victory of the Democracy in that old and
rock-ribbed Republican stronghold of Maine has
been seized by the Democrats of Utah as an evil
dence of the sentiment throughout the country IN
matters political Perhaps the change in form Will
permeate Utah, but if it does there will be COM
plete reversal of form, for be it known that the
Democrats of Utah have pledged themselves for
statewide prohibition, while the Democratic can
didate for governor of Maine Frederick W. Plais-
ted, was known to be more 'liberal' in his views
of prohibition than his opponent, Governor Fer
maid, and he was elected
Although the policy of prohibition was first
put into practice in Maine, and that many years
ago that the oldest inhabtant cannot remember
when the law was not on the statute books, 1t is
still an issue in the Pine Tree state, and the can
didate of avowed 'liberaP' tendencies has been
elected there. Then, too, the personal popularity
of the successful candidate undoubtedly greatly
strengthened his chances
Conditions are reversed almost in Utah for
the election this fall. The plank in the platform
which declares for statewide prohibition is directly
opposed to the 'liberal" views of the successful
gubernatorial candidate in Maine. Thus are the
party ties made more complicated; Utah Demo
crat becomes a prohibitionist, while Maine Dem
ocrat, after many years of experience under pro-
hibtion law, votes for a ''liberal' interpre-
tation of that law.

of health, crops, politics and finance is discussed
Uncle John brings forth his finest hog; Aunt
Mandy, whose reputation as cook extends beyond
the borders of the county, puts on display few
jars of her finest fruits; Cousin Polly captures the
fine needlework prize with the same quilt she has
displayed for many years, and Grandpa Smith re-
establishes his primacy among his fellows as the
producer of the largest squash-raised on the low
lands about Sandy creek 1t is a fair for the peo-
pie of the county, it is what they want, and it is
what they will have. No new thing can be intro
duced; no candy floss machine nor other state fair
worker can make the oldfashioned fair pay. The
people put in a week at preparation, week at the
fair and a week in recovering from the dissipa-
ton. And the three weeks variation of the mo-
notony is the greatest blessing they have. 1t is
the vacation time and the whole county enjoys 1t.
And that is the one reason it never varies from
one year to the other. Most people like to have
good time, and the county fair furnishes all the
excuse necessary.

PENsIoNING PUBLIC SERVANTS.

With much pausibility the proposition is set
forth that it is the duty of the United States gov
eminent to pension its faithful employees in the
civil department, just as it does in the judicial
army and navy departments 1t is urged in sup
port of the proposition that it would increase the
efficiency of those departments by relieving them
of a lot of dead timber which has been accumu-
pension system would tend to make for efficiency
and zeal. 1t is also urged that after long and
faithful service government employee is liable to
discharge for disability or neficiency due to the
increase of years.
Which reasons seem valid But would it not
be fitting in keeping with the spirit of
American institutions and American ideals, to pay
those government employees fair and decent wage
or salary and let Them through the practice of
wise prudence, prepare for their declining years9
1t is acknowledged that the pay of government
employees has not kept pace with the increased cost
of living or the diminishing purchasing power of
the almighty dollar. And this is urged as another
reason for inaugurating a pension system But
would it not be better once more to increase that
pay rather than hold out the promise of pension
when the age of disability comes2
Congress has been asked to do many things
which relieve the citizen from the burden of taking
care of himself And a vapid sentimentality has
urged it and on in paternalism The right
course is to pay the civil service employees decent
wage, and let them manage their own affairs. Such

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS OF 1912.

As though the people did not have enough to
think about in the political world with the cleo
tions that to be held this fall, speculation has
arisen as to where the next national conventions
of the great political parties will be held Already
little booms have been started for certain Headers
in the political world for the Office of President of
the United States, and rough drafts of proposed
planks in the platforms of the parties have been
presented in order to test popular sentiment With
in the next year and half sentiment will be tested
pretty thoroughly, and the fight for the conven-
ton city will be settled.
But whether the next candidates will be named
III the north or the SOUTH the east or the west or
whether of the cities in the great section of
country between the Rockies and the Aleghenies
will capture the conventions is agitating the pot-
zeal seas. We believe there has been only one ma
tional convention held in the east since the war
that of 1868, when the Democrats met in New
York and placed Seymour and Blair in nomination,
only to be defeated by the combination from Ohio
and Indiana-Grant and Colfax-by the Repub-
icans.
The east since that time has never entertained
a national convention and Denver in 1908 was the
farthest western city to achieve that distinction.
While the certainty of nomination for certain
candidates has no doubt influenced to a consider
able extent the selection of the convention city,
the uncertainty as to who shall be the standard
bearers in the next national campaign makes it
difficult for the wise to guess, not the name of
the cities, but the section of country where the
conventions will be held The east, however,
seems barred if we may judge from past expert
ences the reason probably being the prevailing be-
lief that that section is too closely associated with
Wall street, and the communicating influences of
that financial thoroughfare supposed to defle
all things which come near to it. Two cities of
the middle west probably will capture the conven-
tons of the great parties.
