TIMES ARE IMPROVING.

II we see rightly, times are improv'
ing. From one of the biggest railroad
men of the country comes the assur-
ing word that all goes well with rail.
road improvements, while other men
say that business has better outlook
than IL has had for some time past.
Money in the east, according to the
financial journals, is easier than it
has been, while steel the great baro-
meter of the industrial world has
taken on considerable activity.
But too much optimism need not
prevail. The spirit of retrenchment is
strong yet. To hammer down outbursts
of enthusiasm, to curtail too great
hopes in speculative ventures, is in
grained with many of the moneyed
people of the country now. With
careful strides improvements are com
ing. Locally, however, there is still a
good tight money market Many young
men who have invested freely in spec.
ulations that were promising are feel
ing the effects of the long strain.
Dunn's Review says of the week
ending Feb. 18th: Signs of improve
mept continue to multiply. The mark.
ed betterment in the condition of the
money and investment markets has
served to inspire greater confidence
in the industries and trades, and es.
pecially in the iron and steel indus.

proofs of expanding interest and ac-
tivity, particularly in finished pro
ducts. The building outlook brightens
pereeptibly as the spring approaches
ana there is good prospect of much
new construction. The weather condi-
tons, while unfavorable to retail
trade, have covered the winter wheat
territory with snow, thus improving
the crop prospects. The decline in
wheat and cotton prices is a devel-
opment of much interest, signffyins
an adjustment of values to more
normal basis. .....

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
AND UTAH.
COLLEGE

Few people in Logan stop to think
about the point of view the rest Of
the state has when regarding the work
OF the Agricultural College Like the
poor, the College is always with us;
and too often we do not appreciate the
worth of that school to us, Just like
we fail to see the good points about
the poor. The College is poor in some
things, but vastly rich in others. In
worldly goods for carrying on the
work Of education, she lacks a great
deal measured with what she can
spend TO marked advantage. But edu
cationally, from the point Of view OF
what she can do to the agricultural in
terests Of the state, she is rich beyond
compare,
And we believe that the state as
whole is coming to see this position
which the College occupies. As proc
of the good will and strong interes
which we feel the state has for tn,

GOV. WILSON'S VICTORY.
Boston Herald.

Nothing succeeds like success.
Woodrow Wilson has won his first
great fight as Governor of New Jer.
sey. He set out to prevent the cleo
ton to the Senate of James Smith
OF Newark, on the ground that Smith
had misrepresented the State during
his former service in that body, and
further because the people, on the
November balloting, had signified
their desire for MARITIME by a system
of preference voting which is now in
vogue in that oLate MARITIME was mo-
intrinsically strong man, and thi'
Gov. Wilson must have realized; h'
resolved to make his fight on tina
line, and in view of Smiths money
and political shrewdness, the new Gov

barely preserved the same number
Q4) with which she started in 1890.
There has been only three cencuses-
the last one in 1S9O-which did not
entail the loss of seat by one or more
states.
Unless by the forthcoming reappor-
tionment the House shall be in
creased to at least AIS, there must be
losses Of congressional seats, and like
wise of votes in the Electoral Col
lege, by large number of states.
From commemorative most likely to
suffer, New Hampshire, Indiana, Mis-.
souri,, Iowa. Wisconsin, Kentucky, and
States farther south-has arisen an
insistent demand for such an increase
of the House as will make 1t possible
to provide adequate representation for
the growing populations of States
like New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
and Texas, without at the same time
Withdrawing seats for the states that
are growing less rapidly.
The issue is as old as the nation.
In earlier times there were struggles
over it which were prolonged some
times through two sessions, or even
over from one Congress to another.
Twenty years ago contest of the
sort was averted by the understanding
which prevailed from the first that no
state was to be deprived of any por-
ton of it's existing quota. But ten
years ago there was a great fight,
with the result, as has almost invar.
iably happened, that the large-house
party triumphed. The Burleigh bill
providing for 1856 seats, was carried
in opposition to the Hopkins bill, re
ported by the majority of the House

LIBERIA, OUR WARD
Boston Transcript.


Unfortunate Liberia seems to have
escaped from its international compl'
cations with the loss of only about
1000 square miles of territory ceded
to France. So far as the land is con
cerned the loss is not very serious,
for Liberia has never been able sue
cessfully to assert its authority over
more than a relatively narrow coastal
strip. In the hinterland are great ma
tive tribes who do what seems good
to their eyes and pay little heed to
the lawmakers of Monrovia. 1t was
the inability of the Liberians to man
age these people that gave France an
opening for acquiring territory. If Lii.
IBERIA could not maintain order,
France could and would. The Liberian
authorities accept the situation in a
philosophical spirit, being unable to
do anything else They have passed
over their finances to an information.

KEEP FAITH WITH US.

According to the present outlook OF
the liquor bill now being prepared by
that interminabe committee, Salt
Lake and Ogden are going to have
what is termed IA lead pipe cinch"
on the rest of the state when 1t comes
to the matter of selling liquor and
reaping the harvest of shekels flow
ing to brewers and Wholesale liquor
merchants as prohibition gains dis
tricts in the state. But what is far
more serious than the monetary side
is the fact that the law will not, it
seems, keep good faith with the dis
tricts Of the state which will go dry,
or are already dry, for intra-state
shipments are not prohibited.
IL no action is taken to prohibit the
shipment of liquor from Salt Lake
and other wet districts into dry dis.
tricts, we may as well have strict
ly regulated saloon and be done with
the matter. 1t is well known that the
shipments of liquor into Logan and
the valley are growing to enormous
proportions. Many thousands of dol
lars are going out from Logan to Og.
den and Salt Lake, and these dollars
bring liquor into the homes of the peo-
pie. What the legislature should do, If it
intends to keep faith with those parts
of the state which are dry, is to pass
law along the lines of the Idaho
enactment This law forbids intra.
state shipments of certain kind and
reads as follows;
Sec. 25.-Any person, firm, cor
poration society, or club within this
state who shall accept for shipment,
transportation or delivery, or who
shall ship, transport or deliver any
Intoxicating liquors to any person,
firm, corporation society or club in
any prohibition district in the State OF
Idaho, or to any point or place in
this state where the sale of intoxicat.
ing liquors is prohibited by law, ex,
cept as may be authorized by this act
or Interstate Commerce Law of the
United States, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and punished as provid
ed in Section 30 of this Act"
Now if the state legislators are
really inclined to act squarely and
honestly with the people of the dis
tricts which they hope to make dry
let them protect such districts from
the very thing that will ruin much o
the good of local prohibition. Spik,

act.
