The country school is no longer un-

We urgently beg The people of this
and other communities to give thought
to this question of preventing contagi-
Gus diseases SO that the appalling raw
ages of consumption, pneumonia, and
other diseases Of foul air and unceani-
ness be over come. The monetary loss
in this country each year from prevent

and poverty caused by these hundreds

happier would your own life have been
had consumption, pneumonia, diph-

Then do not hesitate but join this mod
ern crusade against terrors the most
deadly that visit us-terrors that will
disappear when all our people realize
that simple measures will drive them

Stoves in School Rooms

A school room in which there is a
| stove IS never evenly and uniformly
warmed. and the same air, or about the
same air, is heated over and over, de.
nying the pupils the amount which ma.
ture says they must have to keep we'll.
Besides this, the children near the
stove are oyerheated, made sweaty and
uncomfortable generally. and in conse.
queuce cannot study and progress as
they should. They are also rendered
more liable to catch cold when they 30
out. All OF this is handicap upon
them. But remember also, that the
children seated away from the stove
are equally uncomfortable, by reason of
being chilly. and in consequence can.
hot study and progress as they should
and they, like the overheated ones near
the stove, are more liable to catch cold,
owing to prolonged chilling.
So It appears that attempting to heat
school rooms with stoves is a money
loss, for il puts a handicap upon the
pupils, and beside makes them more
liable to disease. Indeed it is extrava.
CANT bad business.

After tue experience of dealers and hOuScholdcrS with the out side potatoes which were SO decidedly Inferior this last winter, many have decided to depend entirely upon the native grown spud this coming season, for they have be- come convinced that the tubcr raised on the upland or sidchill soil cannot be surpassed.

ALASKA'S OUTPUT
 WILL. BE:;;SMALL

The steamship Victoria arrived
 in Seattle recently from Nome. Alaska, with S5i3,0OO of gold bull lion and 283 passengers. The heavy passenger list is because of an exodus of miners as the re- suit of placer mining on Seward Peninsula and in the Yukon val ley being restricted by scarcity of water following the small snow : fall of last winter. The gold oul- put of Alaska for 1912 promises to be smaller than for several years.

WEAKENS ON THIRD PARTY.

IT must be surprise to Colonel
Roosevelt to see that even the Chicago
Tribune, which has been his great
champion, refuses to follow him into
the new party movement. 1t viii sup
port Roosevelt for President because
of "what is vitiating, destructive, and
corrupt in the Republican organiza-
tion;' but it believes that all these
bad agencies in the Republican party
can be cleared out of that party by the
party action itself Accordingly, as the
Chicago Tribune itself says:
IT believes that the wisest policy is 70
make every effort to secure control Of the
Republican National organization and 10
turn this great organization into the right
road, The Tribune would see with regre,
the sacrifice OF State and county interests
not only in Illinois but in other States in
which liberalism is dominant. II Progress
sivism is TO demand such sacrifices, II
must prove unanswerably that the recon
structionists are wholly misguided In their
belief that Kepublicanism can be directed
TO meet the necessities OF government
And it must prove that a new party Is
the only instrument upon which any rea-
sonable dependence may he put
And so the Tribune does not favor
third party in Illinois. 1t sees clear
ly that the organization of a third
party in that State would defeat the
Republican party, disorganize its
forces, and create feuds and chaos
from which it would be difficult, if not
impossible, to extricate the party
organization.
This is clearly a sign Of returning
common sense and good party feeling.
In Illinois there is no reason in the
State itself why there should be a
third party, and accordingly the Chi
cago Tribune wishes to work out the
party problems within the party itself.
1t is altogether different in Utah
Here the chief party trouble is within
the local party itself. which by the ia
vor of power that ought to be al
together extraneous from politics and
taking no part therein, has given to
boiling bosses the control Of the Re-
publican organization, and those bosses
have not only betrayed the people
and the power which gave them their
strength, but have arrogantly, foully,
and ipdecently abused the peoples
trust and made of themselves the most
odious set of political reprobates out

Senator Dixon, who was Roosevelt s
campaign manager prior TO the Chicago
convention, is out again with high, soar
ing aspirations TO the effect that Roose
velt ia sure of election. This is the
same old buncombe. Prior TO the Chi

welt nominated practically without op-
position. And now it is the same old
story. Roosevelt again has everything

that Taft is candidate, But when a
man is so obtuse as all that, what is

THE SITUATION IN MEXICO.

The situation in Mexico is becoming
aggravated so far rs the local feeling
in Utah is concerned by the lawless
and vicious attempt of the Mexican in
surrectos to rob and drive out Amcri-
cans, and especially to pillage the
Mormon settlements in northern
Mexico. We notice. however, that the
Mormon authorities are bearing these
outrages with exemplary patience, well
knowing, as the fact is, that to urge
Intervention on the part of the United
States would be but TO aggravate the
troubles that already exist.
There is no doubt but that the out
RACES committed by the rebels in Mex
leo are committed very largely for
the express purpose of trying to force
Intervention on the part of the United
States. But with that intervention all
American lives and property In Mexico
would at once be put in jeopardy, and
whereas there is now good deal oil
peril and occasional loss of life, there
would in case OF intervention be many
more American lives lost, and immense
ly more property stolen or destroyed
We commend the patience of all con-
cerned who are governing themselves
in this matter with forbearance and
intelligence; for it is a sure thing
that the intervention which is evident
ly sought by the Mexican rebels, and
is urged by many hot-headcd Ameri-
cans, would be a disastrous reply to
these rebel outragcs 1t is better to
bear with patience everything that can
be borne rather than take the perilous
Of Intervention; for interven-
tlon by reason of acts committed by
{ he rebels, would be internationally in
excusable. In case of outrage by tho
regular Mexican authorities or troops,
there would be far more excuse
for Intervention; but wo imagine that
the Federal troops and officials will be
very chary of committing any act that
could be in any way construed as a
cause for intervention.
The wise counsel which has hereto
fore been observed BY President Taft |
and followed generally by the Ameri- |
IAN pople still holds good, and we trust |
hat it may hold good until the end.
