4 To all people who think for them
selves there comes, at some time in
life, this proposition:
Either am descended from a
soulless, stomachless, brainless,
spineless germ, as science declares,
or am from God.
The study of the scientific side of
this proposition is fascinating, the
argument full of logic. The end ar
rived at is blank wall, with no hope

logic fall short of what thinking men
must have.
Face to face with Forever, man
turns from the deep hole which logic
has dug downward and turns his face
upward to catch the blessed satisfy

THE CRISIS.

If the republican party wishes to
nominate Theodore Roosevelt for
president, well and good. In behalf
of a united democracy, The World
welcomes his candidacy.
We had hoped for Mr.. Taft's nom
! ination because we did not wish to
see the mind of the country diverted
from it's great economic problems by
Rooseveltism as it was diverted in
, lS96 by free silver.
We had hoped for Mr.. Taft's NOM
nation because we believed the pub
lie welfare required an unmistakable
popular verdict on the question Of
tariff privileges and trust privileges,
and the right of private individuals
to rob the American people under
forms of law.
We had hoped for Mr.. Taft's NOM
ination because we believed the issue
of Rooseveltism would bequeath to
the country legacy of evil no less
burdensome than the evils that it in
herited from the free-silver cam
paign. But apparently a shattered
and demoralized republican party is
powerless to check Mr.. Roosevelts
Unsuitable ambition, and we must &C.
Cept the SITUATION as IL IS.
If the republican party wishes to
20 on record in favor Of Roosevelt
and a third term, the democratic
party can meet the issue.
If the republican party wishes to
60 on record in favor of Mexicaniz-
ing the United States, the democratic
party can meet the issue.
If the republican party wishes to
20 on record against a constitutional
government of checks and balances,
the democratic party can meet the
issue.
If the republican party wishes to
go on record against republican in
stitutions the democratic party can

We still have faith in the intelli-
gence and common sense of the AM
erican people. We still have faith
that they have not turned to the
Spanish-American republics for a
model government. We still have
faith that they are not ready to sub
stitute a dictatorship for the repub-
lie. We still have faith that they be-
lieve in the principles of liberty that
they inherited from the fathers.

Commissioner Barney had estimated
that $4,000 would be the limit of

holders of these licenses will have to

valley are today supplying Doug. las with half the eggs consumed here and that the consumption amounts to 2l6,000 eggs which are required 10 supply the market every month and that the monthly average value of the local egg product amounts to $3,600, is the statement made this morning by H. B. Rice, of the Phel ps Dodge Mercantile company. The stores of the city handle each month six hundred cases of eggs and as stated by Mr. Rice half of these eggs are purchased from the local producers. In each case of eggs there are thirty dozen. This shows that the poultry industry is rapidly grow ing in this vicinity as it was not so long ago that practically every egg consumed in this city was shipped here from Kansas and Colorado. Now half the demand for eggs is supplied at home, thus keeping at home every month more than three thousand dollars that formerly went away for eggs. The present price of eggs is 40 cents, but there are times during the fall and winter when this price is nearly doubled, as during the greater part of last winter eggs sold for sixty cents per dozen and above.

One firm Crowder < Hayden hav- ing fifteen hundred stands, and many of the ranchers have a few to supply honey for home use. As the Agricultural interests of the valley are expected to increase rapidly with the completion of the Canal System it is expected that the number of Apiaries will in- crease in proportion, and it is felt that now is the time to organize so as to take advantage of opportun- ities offered by unity to purchase supplies, market product and above all to prevent importation of dis eased bees. It is hoped and ex- pected that every one interested in the business will attend the meet ing. The bee men are now in the midst of the extracting season and the we'll kept apiaries are pro- ducing nearly one gallon and a half of honey to the stand. There will be quite a quantity shipped from the valley this year, and the need for trustworthy marketing facilities is the cause of the move noant tO Oroani7a
