NOT KILLED, BUT
STUNNED


..
Colonel Watterson in his Courier-Journal with
evident satisfaction, says
The Republican party is dead Its leaders,
with Taft at their head, may not think So but
it is dead door nail. AS the institution
of African slavery killed the old Democratic par
ty, so has the protective tariff system killed the
modern Republican party.
o, colonel! Your smile is not a good 1t
was not slavery but the arrogance which the slave
holders took their determination to rule ruin,
that knocked the Democracy into comatose state
1t not killed; the odor from it a little
loud; the words it spoke while in that condition
often incoherent, but it not dead. The
smell of the offices still in it's nostrfs, the
dream of future flesh pots left pleasant taste in
the hungry mouths.

the skull back to it's place, relieving the pressure

That is a reminder which hope Colonel Wat

came to it's first remark was: I'VE believe in a

and the country some SORROWS since, but it has
held to its faith. 1t never quite died That is
still its watchword and how it is going to handle
things is just more or less an apprehension
to the country. Will it go slow will it call down
another brick? That is what We are all waiting

IDLE LAND ~
4.
Here and there, all over Utah there are big
tracts of land held in private ownership, and lying
idle year after year In some cases the owner 10
willing to sell at fair figure; and to that extent
he is doing his share in the advancement Of the
state even IL he not improve. But also here
and there are men who own big tracts which they
either will not or can not improve, and which no
reasonable sum of money will buy.
That hurts Utah. Also, 1t is the sheerest kind
of business blindness on the part of the owner.
Either he wants some else to make those idle
tracts valuable he hopes for the impossible.
The state cannot advance unless the tillabe land
is titled Men with big tracts hold at their own
cost.
Every acre broken and improved makes
valuable every other in the neighborhood. The
nearer the cultivation, the greater the benefit to
the idle Many man worth five thousand
dollars today, and owning five hundred acres of
idle land could be worth ten thousand dollars by
giving away half his acres to some one who would
clear and cultivate it, And he need not give 1t
away. There plenty of persons willing to buy
and clear; to follow the direction Of the Agrcul-
tural College and Lewis A. Merrill in cultivatng.
Getting land at a dollar an acre or less, and
holding 1t for ten, without stripping 1t of a sage
brush or burying in it the point Of pillow, does
to retard the advancement Of Utah than ex
cessive railroad rates. tradesmens monopolies, or
any other thing And any time the owners of
big tracts will make fair prices on half their hold
ings the other half will double in value, the volume
of production in Utah will be multiplied, and the
usefulness of this commonwealth and its citizens
in the activities Of the nation will tremendously
increase .-Goodwins Weekly.

UNCLE SANS
STRONGHOLD


Some farmer is Uncle Sam. He's great manu-
facturer He does big business with all the ma
lions of the earth, doubling his foreign commerce
in 10 years. But Tama Jim, his office boy in the
department of agriculture, swears to 1t that your
Uncle Samuel's stronghold is a ter of the soil.
Singing his song after 16 years of spen-
did service, Secretary Wilson makes his report for
1912 an epic of agricultural achievements and mar
wells.
The American farmer in 1898 produced $4,S0O,-
100000 Of food products but in 1912 an amount of
them worth 1882, 900.
During the secretaryship OF Mr.. Wilson our
farms have added $105,O00,00O 900 to the
wealth of the nation.
At the beginning Of the period the farmer was
burdened with debt and butt of the joke
smith; now his debts represent the investments
of prosperity and he is recognized the founda-
ton and crown Of the countrys material welfare.
The stupendous statistics presented by Secre
tary Wilson crafty national pride. But the sound
est source of satisfaction from his report is that
the entire country has awakened to the wisdom
way that the production by the acre has begun to
increase more rapidly than the natural increase
of population and that farming and rural life have
each sustained a lift upward .-Pocateo Tribune

RtR|NES RUSHED
 ID NICARAGUA Two More Battleships Leave
 for Country MIR. BACON OBJECTS
Senator Declares It Is an Act of War for the United States to Send Troops to Central
 America

Washington. August H.-Undeterred by talk in the Senate of projected resolutions regarding tl1e constitutionality of the landing of American sailors and marines in Nicaragua, the navy department today at tie request of the state department dispatched peremptory orders to navy yards on two sides of the continent to rush achievements to the naval forces now in the insurrection-torn country Fear that the forces there now are in danger of annihilation at the hands of the insurgents completed the order.
 +Government officials are satisfied that they are acting completely within their rights in landing the sailors and marines and that this decision constitutes an act of war, such as can only be authorized by Congress. The titular government of Nicaragua and the only one recognized by the United States, has formally requested the American minister, MT. Wetszel, and Captain Terhune, commanding the gum boat Annapolis and Captain Durell of tue gunboat Tacoma to employ their forces to protect foreign life and property which the Nicaraguan government frankly ad- mitted 1t could not do.
 The chief reason, however, for order IS that at Managua is force of several Hundred American bluejackets and ma rines who are trying to prevent the com mission of an act of savagery and bar barisin in violation of all the rule or the civilized warfare, in the capture and sacking and pillaging of a city filled with non-combatants, including many women and children. The American force Is small compared with the besctting rebel army and the officials are not disposed to split hairs over constitutional ques- tions while these American lives are in danger of annihilation.

MACVEAGH CONDEMNS
 APPRAISING SYSTEM

Washington, August 21.-Secretary of the Treasury Macveagh, in comprehen- sive Instructions issued today to the com mission he has appointed to investigate appraising methods, condemned the ap- praising system of the United States and declared rehabilitation should unearth frauds and produce improvements to in- crease the federal revenues by millions.
 The gross undervaluations in various lines of importations which have been exposed by a general reform of the cus- toms service. the secretary said, have shown eonelusively that the grave de- fects of the appraising branch go beyond any accurate knowledge the treasury de- partment has acquired

have been obliged to rely upon these con- spicuous proofs of eSisting faults to pro duce in the appraising offices an internal reform of the appralsing system. But the influence of the exposures has, re- gret to say, been very limited.
 We do not know how much money is involved in this investigation, but in collections amounting to more than S3l1,- 000,000 a year, it takes but q small per centage of improvement to make an im- pression that must be counted in millions While we have turned our searchlights upon various large lines and found there gross undervaluations, there are wide spaces of the importing field we have not touched by our exposures, and where there is the same possibility of under valuations as in the lines we have all ready turned up."

Bacon Objects

Senator Bacon scored the state de- partment for it's attitude toward Nic- aragua, declaring that the executive departments of this government are now, in my judgment, violating the law by using the army and navy of the United States in Nicaragua"
 The senator read newspaper dis patches referring to an American col lector of customs In Nicaragua"
 When this matter is sifted to the bottom he said, i've will find that this Is the real reason for American interference there. Some time ago a treaty was negotiated between this country and Nicara qua by means of which the United States government was 10 furnish agents with authority to collect customs of that country and to use the proceeds to pay certain loans to be made by American capitalists. The Senate thus far has refused to rat fly that treaty and In my judgment will not ratify it.
 T have not the slightest doubt In the world that the authority is not well defined"
 T have not the slightest doubt in the world there has been an effort to accomplish without law that for which they failed to secure by law. They are trying to use the army and navy for which we have specifically refused to give them authority. believe that this is proper subject for investigation by the Senate" Senator Bacon said
 While the senator was speaking yari- ous officials of the departments were discussing the advisability of more marines for Nicaragua in case they should be needed.
 General Mena has been notified by American Minister Weitzel that no fur ther bombardment would be permitted.

Mena in Lead

New Orleans. August H.-The revolution, ss it has existed so far, has been led by General Mena, a conservative. Nica- raguans here who profess to be familiar with conditions declare that the liberals, however, have really been back of the uprising or at least largely influential in it. since it's inception. General Mena, as the minister of war, was in possession of the military equipment, and the lib- eral leaders are said to have plotted with him therefore, to overthrow the govern ment Of the conservatives, headed by President Diaz. The wireless message re- ceived by Consul zayala rSlieved to in- dicate that they saw the opportunity to command the situation themselves by capturing Mena, thus leaving the way open to put General Irias, the liberal leader, in power.

Washington, August 21.-Arrange- ments to place a force of 2000 blue jackets and marines in Nicaragua with in 10 days to protect foreign lives and property and keep railroad communica- tion open from the American legation in Managua to the Pacific coast were made today by the navy department. Secretary Meyer issued rush orders for the big armored cruiser California at San Diego, Cal, to proceed to Panah1a. In the meanwhile the transport Prairie has been ordered from the Portsmouth, N H., navy yard to Philadelphia to take aboard 750 marines and sail on to Colon. This force will be sent over taken on board the cruiser California and be rushed northward to San Juan del Sur and Corinto.
 Forces already ashore number lit- tie more than 2000. Officials believe these will be sufficient to protect Americans and their property and keep the railroads open. The railroad. which is American owned, connects Managua with Corinto. Since the revolution broke out 1t has been in constant danger of interruption by the revolutionists un- der General Mena. If the rebels took possession of the railroad all Amer jeans would be cut off from the chief seaport on the Paci1c. The telegraph line running to Cortinot and to the cable station at San Juan del Sur has been interrupted somewhat. Plans to make the force of 2000 available be- came known after conferences between officials of the navy and state depart ment. What reports prompted their action were not fully given out. It is believed, however, Minister Weitzels recommendation were considered.
