effort to put the government on a
business-like basis.
The expenses Of the government
have been growing for years, and
probably reached high tide under the
last administration. The country has
simply been unduly extravagant dur
ing a season Of great prosperity.
The present plan of the President
has TO do with the great depart
ments, but it will be necessary for
Congress TO consider the question of
economy when passing appropriation
bills if any substantial amount is
saved.
The American people are Liberal in
their ideas and do not believe in

is the general opinion that the Pres
ident is moving in the right direction
when he begins stopping some of the
leaks.

Much of the American cotton goods
sold last year belonged to the old
stock which the Chinese bought I'M
der favorable circumstances. The old
stock. however. is almost or entirely
exhausted. and with the present adj
verse exchange and the rise in the
prise Of American cotton the difficult
ties OF meeting Japanese competition
during the coming year Will be much
more serious. The fact that the Jap
anese are pushing their trade in cot
ton goods and that their product is
becoming increasingly popular will
add greatly TO the difficulty of meet
ing their competition.
China has long been one of the
best customers of the United States
for cotton goods. and the loss of this
trade may be in part responsible for
the shutdown OF the cotton mills in
this country at the present time in
order to curtail production

JAPANEsE CoNmETITIoN.

The japanese are slowly but surely
driving the American cotton manu-
faeturers out Of the Chinese market
mainly owing to the fact that labor is
so much cheaper in the Orient than
IN the United States.
The Chinese complain that the
prices Of the American cotton manu-
facturers are too high as compared
with those OF the Japanese, and the
difficulty Of overcoming this serious
disadvantage is constantly increasing.
Competition with japanese goods
WIS formerly easier. as the quality Of
the American cotton goods showed a
marked superiority. Today, however,
the difference is not so great, not be-
cause OF inferiority in the American
goods. but because Of the increasing
excellence OF the japanese product.
The Chinese now state that the diff
ference in quality is not sufficient 10
make it worth while 10 pay the Amer
lean price. which is IS TO 25 per cent
higher.
The United States consul at Antung
reports thar while the decline in the
American piece-goods trade was not
exactly startling in 1908. the present
situation is somewhat alarming.

BIRDS NEST SOUP.

Most people labor under the i'm
preston that ordinary birds nests
are used by the Chinese in making
the celebrated soup the Celestials
love so we'll, but it seems not. The
nests used by the Chinese come from
Siam, and the shipments amounted TO
nearly 10000 pounds during the
fiscal year Of 1909.
These edible nests. according to a
report made to the state department,
are found in the islands off the coast
of Siam and are the products of a
species of birds belonging to the fam
lily of swifts
The nests consist almost entirely Of
the salivary secretion OF these birds,
whose salivary glands are much more
developed than those OF the ordinary
swift. The season for the gathering
of the nests begins in April and ends
in September.
The Chinese regard them not only
as a great table delicacy, but also as
valuable tonic medicine in neuras-
thenia and pulmonary diseases. 1t is
said that the demand in Hongkong
for the nests exceeds the supply, and
that the prices range from SIS to $25
per pound, according TO quality.
knowledge OF the real nature OF
these nests will probably not result in
the appearance of the famous soup
on the American tables.

MULvEYs PHILOSOPHY.

Martin Mulvey, city councilman
and one OF the heavyweights OF the
American party. takes a philosophical
view OF the series OF murders recent
ly committed in this city in saloons
which were open in violation OF the
law.
Regarding the latest capital crime
It is Councilman Mulvey's opinion
''thst if the murder hadn't been COM
mitted at the Heidelberg it would
have occurred somewhere else, so
what's the differeace?"
Sure enough. What's the differ
ence. and what's the city ordinance
between friends? Being in the sa-
loon business quite extensively, and
not being compelled 10 close his var
ious resorts until he gets good and
ready. Mr.. Mulvey very naturally
sympathizes with the men in whose
places murders have been committed.
Such things might occur in Mulvey's
resorts after hours.
Besides being a salOOnkeeper and
member OF the city council. an ad-
vantageous combination, when you
come TO think OF it. Mr.. Mulvey is a
member Of the license committee. He
can make or unmake his rivals in the
saloon business. Consequently those
permitted to run bars in this city.
more especially those who are al
lowed 10 break the law with impuni-
~ must be under his protective
wing.
But is Mr.. Mulvey's position re-
garding the murder in the Heidelberg
saloon correct? Is il true that if the
crime hadn't been committed at that
place it would have occurred some
where else? Not necessarily so. If
the Heidelberg hadn't been open the
murderer and his victim would not
have been enabled TO buy the fiery
liquor that nerved the slsyer's arm.
That is. if the other saloons. includ-
ing those conducted by Councilman
Mulvey. had also been closed, as di-
rected by the city ordinance.
But the fact remains that the muir
der was committed and that the Hell
delberg was open in defiance of the
authorities or by cOnnivance OF the
guardians Of the peace" The burn
ing question before the citizens OF
salt Lake just now Is what action will
the authorities take in the matter?
VIII the law be enforced or Will
Philosopher MuVey remain in con-
troll OF the situation?

in the summer season there is no rea-

With a proper service and appro-

sons the churches could do away with
the electric fan in summer and the
furnace in winter. Ali that is neoes-

congregation into the proper chan
nels and the thing is accomplished.
This is another practical application
of mental suggestion.

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.


one OF the most progressive and
up-to-date educational institutions in
the west. or in the United States, for
that matter. is the Utah Agricultural
college, located at Logan, in the
beautiful Cache valley. In its chosen
field this school undoubtedly leads
all the other agricultural colleges.
The II Buzzer." issued by the
Junior class Of the college, has come
To hand. The book contains a short
history Of the school ander its var
ious presidents since it was first es-
tablished, and, considering the length
of time it has been in existence, the
progress made has been truly re-
markable.
The Utah Agricultural college. as
its name implies. is primarily devoted
70 educating young men and women
in the science of farming. for farming
IS q science in these days. The course
is thorough and complete.
In addition TO the agricultural
course. embracing everything of
value in that line, those who so de-
sire can study the arts and sciences
under the same conditions that exist
tn other colleges.

MENTAL SUGGESTION.

The pastor of the First Presbyte-
rian church at Edwardsville. ILL.,, has
evolved an idea which, put into prac-
tice. will make his congregation more
comfortable during services during
the heated season.
To begin with. the choir in his
church viii sing only such hymns as
BY Cool Siloam's Shady Rin" and
"Greenland's Icy Mountains" while
the pastor himself will select airy
themes for his sermons.
II the plan works out satisfactorily
