BACON-HARRIS.

The retirement of Messrs. Bacon
and Harris from the presidency OF
the Commercial Boosters marks an
epoch in the history of the club. These
gentlemen have held these positions
since the organization of the club
and it can truthfully be said. and was
said by the new president, that they
have set a pace that will require con.
siderable time, capacity, and energy
to follow. Whatever of good the club
has accomplished, and the proportions
it has assumed, is more or less due
to the work and energy of these un.
firing officials. They are only men
to be sure, and have perhaps at
times through the unselfishness of
their natures, and their desires for
harmony and good feelings among
club members, allowed personalities to
he injected into our club life which
should have been eliminated by
commanding wave of the hand, with
the edict that the efforts and energy
of the club should be directed to-
wards bigger things But throughout
II all they have, been the watchmen
on the tower. They have worked like
trojans for the good of this commun'
ity, have done it umselfishly and for
the common good of all, Whatever
acts of judgment on their part have
injured to the benefit of the com
munity have been given with a smile
on the lip, and gentle air Of modesty
impressing one that in their hearts
fingered only the desire to please and
satisfy, and wherein good resulted
their compensation was complete
When they have erred in judgment
IT has certainly been mistake of the
head and not of the heart.
To Mr. w, S. Langton, who served
with these gentlemen as second vice
president until he left for New York
is due credit for having done his
share of the work during the early
life Of the club. He was a popular Of
fetal, with exceptional ability, and
served as most valuable adviser tc
his associates,
They all retire with the respect and
good will of all. The Republican has

BACK TO THE SOIL.

That the spirit of today indicates a
general rush to the soil is evidenced
by the mutitudes which recently
flocked to Los Angeles to attend the
Pacific Coast Land show at that
place. Utah was well represented, and
Utah Day was hummer. The CHIEF
executive of the state with his staff
was present together with many boos-
ters for Utah and her diversified in.
terests. The great throng listened to
an address by the governor. and was
then entertained by the many land
agents and boosters for this growing
state.
That the eyes of the homeseeker
are turned towards Utah is evidenced
by the fact that letters are daily pour.
ing into the offices of publicity bu-
reaus. As an indication as to the ma.
ture of the inquiries the letters re.
ceinved by one office during the last
few days are as follows: Irrigated

ton 9, manufacturing 2, mining 6,

ed on July 1 of last year was far
less than was anticipated, and
despite the increased appropria-
tions, and the payment of the
cost of the Panama Canal out of
current funds, the deficit is con-
sideraby less than $40, 900, 900,
and the treasury balance is more
than $500 100000. In the pursuit
of pleasure it has been authori-
tatively stated that during the
year past 1916 persons were kill
ed and 74O9 injured. That of
this number 232 were killed and
PIG injured in hunting; LAG were
killed and 1888 injured in Fourth
of July celebrations. A large
number were killed and injured

spect of many other events of

much of it would be somewhat
unpleasant, so we forbear, and

BREAKING A CUSTOM.
How the Salt Shaker Was introduced
to the Spaniard.
Jan. IL.

10 kn0 OPdHIdTNs
Until few years ago no Spaniard
had on his dining table any other re-
ceptacle for salt than the old style
open cellar. An enterprising Briton
saw this. noted that the salt was al
ways dirty and gummy and deter
mined to introduce Il certain famous
salt shaker from which clean salt
would run freely III the dampest
weather Bravcly he started to tour
Spain for the company.

dealer to whom he presented the nov.

scrutiny, perhaps useful for the chill

The simple gentleman was amazed,
angry, affronted. by the novelty, but
he took it and an ounce or two of the
special salt home with him. The jew
eler ordered another shaker and more
samples of salt BY and by the gen
tleman had used all his salt and want

ness of that company today is worth

Washington Letter.
Washington, Jan. 13.


international exposition BOOM
ers for the celebration of the
completion of the Panama Canal
are at work in Washington. San |
Francisco and New Orleans are
the contending cities. The cap
ital of the United States, where
the exposition should really be
held, is not saying much. San
Francisco is f1ourishing seven
teen million dollars as her claim,
while New Orleans with ten mil
lions insists that this amount will
go farther owing to the proXimi-
ity of that city to the rest of the
world, than will seventeen mil
lions on the Pacific slope. An
advocate for New Orleans puts
it that Congress will be respon-
sible in saying which city is most
accessible to all the people of the
United States, claiming that New
Orleans is two thousand miles
closer to the center of population
and two thousand miles nearer
to Panama than San Francisco
and that the latter city is more
than three thousand miles farth-
er from the principal nations
which are likely to send exhibits.
1t is claimed that the center of
population of the United States
is near Cincinnati and five hun
dred miles from New Orleans,
while San Francisco is two thou
sand five hundred miles from
this center. Within nine hund-
red miles of New Orleans, it is
said, there are seventy cities
with a combined population of
twenty millions, while within
nine hundred miles of San Fran
cisco are only eight cities and
their combined population is one
million. With Washington as a
starting point, it is said that it
takes four days to reach San
Francisco and only little more
than one day to reach New Or
leans, while the cost, including
sleeping berth, to San Francisco
is $93, and to New Orleans $33.
All these arguments to the pock-
ct are important but apply with
still greater force to the selec-
ton of Washington, which is
closer to the population of the
United States and to the world
than either New Orleans or San
Francisco. To those who have
followed the social, industrial
and political tendencies of the
Pacific slope for the past five
years, a serious objection to hold
ing an international exposition
in San Francisco is that city is
rantankerously opposed to the
japanese, Chinese and other Or
ientals who necessarily make
such large part Of every inter
national exposition and that.
should the exposition be held
there, there would be perpetual
danger of artificial earthquakes
more serious in their ultimate eff
fects than the catastrophe which

Statistics show that our ex-
ports to China have declined
from fiftyeight millions five years
ago to fifteen and one-half mil
lions in 1910. The Chinaman is
frequently referred to as an E.
nigmatical creature, but those
who have studied him in his own
habitat realize that there is a
great deal of human nature in
him and that he has abundant
shrewd common sense. The Chi
naman is not a first-class fight
ing man, but he is not unresent-
full of wrong. He has been out
rageously treated in this country
and especially on the Pacific coast
and organized into unions as a
European army is into regiments,
the word has gone forth to boy
colt American wares. It is as
nothing to the average China
man or to the Chinaman much
above the average, that this
country remitted some millions
of the boxer indemnity. That
was state affair, and the aver
age Chinaman knows nothing OF
state affairs, and there is nc
word in the Chinese language
for patriotism because the idea
is totally non-existent in the &C.
lestial Kingdom.
