NEW PLAN BEING TRIED.

The street railway companies of Bal
timore have evolved an idea by means
of which it is hoped to educate the peo-
pie as to the proper method of getting
on and off street cars. Passing up the
men and women who have formed their
habits in life, the Baltimore street car
officials are distributing pamphlets in
the public schools Of that city contain
ing the necessary information which it
is hoped the rising generation will heed.
AS rule men face in the right direc-
ton when alighting from street cars,
reach the ground in safety and go upon
their way rejoicing. It is different with
the other sex. Seemingly no power on
earth can prevent the women from get
ting off hind side foremost" 1t is said
street car conductor never makes
trip without being compelled to hold
one or more women in order to prevent
their alighting in this manner before the
car comes to a full stop.
If the girls in the schools can be edu-
Gated in this matter the Baltimore street
car officials will not have lived in vain.

MARK TWAIN.

The end came peacefully TO Samuel
l. Clemens, the much-loved and appre-
ciated American humorist. Ever since
his arriva! from Bermuda a few days
ago it has been apparent that he came
home to die, and that it would not be
long before the unweicome news would
be flashed over the wires.
Now that the inevitable announce
ment has been made. every American
wiz feel that he has suffered personal
loss, and the people of other countries
where his books were read will mourn
for the man who did much TO Tighten
the burden of life by his rare humor.
Mark Twain was born at Florida, Mo,
November 80, 1885. What education he
received was obtained in the common
schools before he was 13 years old, for
at that age he was apprenticed to a
printer. After working at that trade
short time he became a pilot on the
Mississippi river. Soon after the out
break of the civil war he became pri-
vate secretary to his brother and went
TO Nevada. where he devoted his talent
and energies 10 newspaper work and
mining, and became noted as humorist.
From the time of the publication of
'Innocents Abroad" down to the hour of
his death Mark Twain never ceased to
be the distinctiveIy American humorist.
No other writer approached him. He
described life on the Mississippi, in the
mining camps, on the plains and in the
cities, and never failed to paint mirth-
provoking scenes which could not occur
anywhere outside of the United States.
Some of his word pictures were satirical,
but they were true to life and never
failed to please.
The home life Of Samuel L. Clemens
was beautiful No man ever gave his
family more loving care. We all re-
member how he tenderly watched over
his wife as she was gradually fading
from earth, and how utterly diseonso-
late he was when she died under the
soft Italian skies. Life never possessed
the same charm for the humorist after
the King of Shadows robbed him of his
loved one. But he continued his labors,
and honors were showered upon him.
A crushing blow finally came Only
a short time ago his only unmarried
daughter. long afflicted with epilepsy.
was found dead, and the father never
recovered from the shock. Although
seeming to bear up under his affections,
he failed rapidly. Efforts of friends
him to health and he passed on to meet
his loved ones on the other side.

CONSERVATION MAP OF UTAH.

The Utah state conservation commits
sion is engaged in the work OF preparing
a map which, when completed. viii be
Invaluable as a guide to all interested
in conservation. While many inquiries
concerning the map are being made by
persons residing in various sections Of
the state. the necessary data is coming
in very slowly, so slowly, in fact, that
the members of the commission fear
that the information regarding some Of
the counties viii not be as full and COM
plete as IL should be.
The matter of supplying the facts de-
sired by the commission should be
taken in hand at once by those who de-
sire that the districts IN which they re-
side make the best possible showing. AS
the map is to be completed early in
September, there is no time TO lose.

other administration, and not sufIer IN
the operation. An extra session Of Con-
gress was called and the tariff revised,
thus clearing the decks for the i'm
portant work to come before the repre-
sentatives of the people at the regular
session beginning the first OF December.
So far as the administration is con-
cerned, every pledge made TO the peo-
pie during the campaign of 1908 has
been carried out.
II the laws are not yet upon the
statute books 1t is solely because the
path has been blocked by the insur-
gents, who insist upon foisting their
own peculiar ideas upon the country.
Some of these measures will be passed
before the adjournment of Congress; all
Of them could be enacted into laws If
the insurgent contingent would get
down to work and leave criticism of the
administration tc the Democrats.
The endorsement of President Taft's
good work by Mr.. Hearst, who has
never had anything in common with the
Republican party, comes at an oppor-
tune moment and will be appreciated
to the fullest extent by those who have
never deviated from the straight path
of Republicanism and have never set
up false political gods.
It disarms mugwump and Democrat
alike, and sets the truth before the peo-
pie in a way that cannot fail to Se con-
vincing. In making his statement con-
corning the administration. Mr.. Hearst
has performed great public service,
alike creditsble to his powers OF OBJ
servation and his ability to distinguish
between right and wrong. The critics
should now hold their peace or show
cause why they should not be branded
as falsifers.

The STATE FAIR.

The action of the directors Of the
State Fair association in Offering hand
some silver trophies for the best car
loads of Utah-grown apples, boxed. un-
doubtedly insures a remarkably fine ex-
hibit of this fruit at the fair this fall.
Each carload must contain 800 boxes,
and it is said three prominent apple
growers Of the state have agreed to en-
ter into competition for the prizes. So
there win be $500 boxes of fancy Utah
apples on exhibition at the fair this fan
at the very least. But that will be
only one feature of the annual display.
There are countless others regarding
which nothing need be said. Interest
in the state fair is constantly growing
and each year the exhibits are of better
class and more numerous than those
displayed the year before.

HIS HONEST CONVICTIONS.

William r.. Hearst cannot rightfully
be accused of having any particular hk-
ing for the Republican party. Since his
advent in the political field he has either
supported the Democratic ticket or
played a lone hand. Consequently his
endorsement of the administration Of
President Taft is entitled to more than
ordinary consideration.
mo one can talk with the President
without approaching and respecting his
earnestness and sincerity" says Mr..
Hearst, and then he goes on to say that
personally he also believes In the eff
CLERGY of Mr.. Taft.
With the record OF the first year OF
the administration before him, Mr..
Hearst gives a bill of particulars con-
corning the good work accomplished
and arrives at the conclusion that Mr.
Taft sis carrying out the Roosevelt
policies in the way that they ought to
be carried out" He then takes up the
measures advocated by President Taft
that are now before Congress, and gives
them the benefit of his unqualified en-
dorsement. the over-capitalization bill.
the postal savings bank measure and
the parcels post bill being specifically
mentioned.
OF late the latter-day mugwumps and
Democrats have seen At TO criticize
President Taft and have endeavored to
cast discredit upon his administration.
He has been charged with sins of omis-
sion and commission by these captious
critics. One day he has been accused
of ditching the Roosevelt policies and
the next they have raked him over the
Goals for insisting upon carrying out
these very policies.
Of course. their insincerity has been
apparent all the time. No one knows
this better than Mr.. Hearst, who keeps
in close touch with the situation at the
capital through his newspa-
pers.
AS a matter of fact, President Taft
has made sgonderful record during his
1rst year in Office, one that will bear
with fha first raar of anu

GIVEN GOVERNMENT AID.

In all the provinces of the Dominion
of Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver,
an effort is being made to encourage in
dustries of all kinds. the provincial gov
erEments being very liberal in extend
ing financial aid to struggling enter
prises. According to the report Of Con-
sui General Jones at Winnipeg, the
dairymen of Saskatchewan are being
particularly favored in this respect at
the present time.
In the northern portion of this prov
ince, says the consul, some farmers ship
$50 worth of cream weekly, this being
the product of about twenty cows. In
a district where so large a traffic is
carried on in this commodity a discern
ing provincial government has provided
system Of government creameries.
The dairymen's act of 1906 provides
that a company of limited liability may
be formed 'for manufacturing butter
or cheese, or both, and in conjunction
Herewith providing cold storage there
for The certificate of incorporation
of this company must describe exactly
the limits of the territory within which
the company does business. and milk
or cream is not allowed to be received
from persons living without this terri
tory except by permission of the COM
missioner of agriculture.
After the company has built it's
has arranged for a supply of milk and
cream from not less than 400 cows for
three years or more. to be delivered
free of charge at the creamery, and has
properly insured it's buildings, the COM
missioner takes over for the season the
management of the plant
The government provides all labor and
supplies, exclusive of cream, keeps the
premises in good repair. insures the
butter, manufactures butter from the
cream received, and pays to the patrons
the net proceeds, according to the guam
tity of butter fat contained In the cream
supplied.
Government aid to creameries is also
given in another form by the Saskatche-
wan government, that of single loans of
$1,000, not to aggregate more than s1O-
goo, to pay for the machinery. In order
to receive loan it must be proved that
the location of the creamery will not
encroach upon the business of an estab-
lished creamery; In fact, the nearest
creamery must be twenty miles away.
The institution receiving the loan must
also be in sound financial condition,
with at least 10 per cent of the sub
scribed capital stock paid up.
With such encouragement 1t is quite
natural that progressive farmers are
being attracted to British Columbia and
the Northwest Territory in great num-
bers.

FoWLER's FIAsco.

Insurgent Fowler of New Jersey was
in the limelight for a few brief seconds
yesterday. Fowler is known in the
House as the man with the Crouch. "
He was deposed from the Craftsmanship
of the currency committee at the clos
ing session of the last Congress for at
tempting to block legislation intended
to relieve the financial distress follow
ing the furry Of 1907.
Fowler's bump of self-esteem being
more than ordinarily developed, he has
never forgiven the speaker for lifting his
scalp, and has constantly sought favor
able opportunities to make trouble. He
lined up with the granger insurgents
and voted for the Norris resolution, and
was one of the few Republicans who
voted to declare the speakers chair va
cant.
With blood in his eye and a resolution
in his hand, the New Jersey member
arose in the House for the purpose of
taking away from the speaker the
power to appoint the House committees.
Immediately there was a scene of con-
fusion. and expectation was raised to the
highest pitch. the members of the House
naturally believing the mosquito states
man was loaded for bar. 1t was sup
posed the stirring scenes attending the
elimination OF Speaker Cannon from the
rules committee were about to be re-
enacted and necks were craned as Fowl
er read his resolution and asked !'or i'm
mediate consideration.
Leader Payne made a point of order
against the resolution, and Hardwick
of Georgia raised the point of no quo
rum. Then the excitement became in
tense. The speaker announced that a
quorum was present, and Fowler was
recognized to speak on his resolution,
Instead Of trying to get action at once,
Fowler weakly stated that he did not
desire consideration of the resolution
until May 1, and desired to have it re-
ferred TO the committee on rules and
have it come up before the House as a
privileged matter on that date. Speaker
Cannon declared the resolution out of
order, but was willing to hear argu-
ments on that point.
Then Fowler withdrew his resolution
and deposited it IN the basket, where 1t
will take its chances Of resurrection
along with everything else in the House
hopper" The war was over and
shouts of derision greeted the lone New
Jersey .nsurgent as he sat down.
Speaker Cannon accused the insur-
gents Of cowardice IN a speech following
the reorganization of the rules commit
tee. He must have had Fowler in mind
at the time.

Total profit

The same story could be told by thou
sands of farmers all over the country.
There are no lean years IN the agricul-
tural districts. because there is mar
ket for everything that can be raised at
good prices. Even when all the avail
able land in the United States is brought
under cultivation the farming business
will still be highly profitable on account
of the great increase of population In
the cities and towns. There are the best
of reasons why the back to the farm"
movement should succeed.
