It will come to cold parceling of Persia among
The powers, with Russia and Great Britain nat
rally getting the largest slices
Politically, economically and morally the con-
itions in Persia are bringing about state of
iffairs when an independent Persia will be an
impossibility. Unless the government in Down
ing street recognizes this, and is able to fOrmu-
policy which will counteract the means by
which the classification of northern Persia is be-
ing brought about, Persia as free nation will
have ceased to exist in almost the immediate fu-
ture, and the British government driven, how
ever unwillingly, to accept its share of the spoil,
will have sent its SOWars into the British sphere
just as the Cossacks have been sent into the
northern sphere. ...s.s. 49,.
For a~time the unoccupied gulf sphere will
form an intervening no-mans- land, but even that
is not likely long to continue. A state of things
will be brought about which will have reyolu-
tionized British military tenure in the Indian
empire
Politically, the free government OF Persia has
been destroyed In Teheran the word of an I'M
official Russian proeonsul is law, and as Tehe-
ran nOminally gives orders to the whole king
dom, the Russian officer in Teheran claims to
dispose of British interests in southern Persia.
Morally, the conditions are even worse; Prof
Edward Browne writing from Cambridge, has
told the lurid facts Of the pacification of north
ern Persia, and told them by the incontroyertible
evidence of the camera. When Tabriz fell and
opened its gates to the Russians, though the. de-
feated Shah had never been able to gain en-
trance, there came into the town Persian Off
Ger, himself an ardent partizan Of the Shah. /
This officer proceeded to pacify the neighbor,
hood by hanging and mutilating the Nationalist
leaders As.

4 CITY FOR ITS PEOPLE

Grand junction, Col, is making bold and
c0mmendable bid for fame through plans to be
The first "ideal commonwealth" in the world,
and its ideal has been helped along by Secretary
Fisher to the extent that he has set aside from
entry $40 acres Of coal hind in the heart of the
Book Cliff coal field, eight miles from Grand
Junction, and before Christmas the enterprising
municipality expects to start the first municipal
coal mine in the United States.
But this coal mine is simply start Already
Grand junction owns and operates one of the
largest and most successful water systems in the
inteq1nountain west which cost over $500, 900
and was entirely constructed by municipal off
cials without day Of contract labor upon it and
completed at a saving of over $50, 700 over the
lowest bid submitted by contractors, says the
Philadelphia North American.
Spurred by the success of the municipal water
system, the commissioners of the city have
served notice that in the next six months they
Will submit to the people of Grand junction the
proposition of purchasing or condemning, as
their city charter and state laws permit, the now
privately owned electric light, gas and ice plant
When this announcement was made public Pres
ident Eugene Sunderlin, of the general public
utilities syndicate of the city, came back with z
counterproposition that the city not only TAX,
over the electric light, gas and ice plant but alsi
purchase the Grand Junction street railway an6
the Grand Junction and Grand River Vale,
railroad, an electric interurban that extendi
eighteen miles westward to Fruita,. near The
Utah state line
General negotiations are now in progress be
tween the city and the company for the sale
the entire holdings of the company. If success
full and there is no reason to doubt but that the
will be, Grand Junction will be one of the first
cities in the United States to own and operate a
railroad.

ON THE EVE OF CONVENTION

The Territorial convention yesterday per
formed but a small part of the work that is be.
fore the Republican leaders of this territory.
The selection of clean and efficient candidates
on the county ticket is of vastly more import
ance TO Hawaii than the territorial choice
In Honolulu particularly the situation calls
for sober thought and cool Judgment The Re-
publican ticket here cannot be successful unless
it stands for something besides political make.
shift or personal pull.
On what are Republicans going to make their
county campaign? On what basis are they going
to appeal to the voters of Honolulu? What will
be their arguments?
Theatime is past when campaign oratory and
idle promises can win. The ticket must be
ticket 81 men whose past has meant something
for the Community. Honolulu is tired of candi-
dates whose performance is all in the future
Honolulu is tired of empty claims Of what is to
be done
Delegates to the convention, it is up to you to
name men for whom there will be honest,
hearty, sincere support! You will not be dis
charging your solemn duty to your party or your
city If YOU name candidates for whom excuses
must be made. Such men will be on the defen-
siye from the moment they are named, and the
party will be on the defensive And that is not,
winning position for any party.

BIG CROPS and POLITICS
Good business prospects are seen in the latest
letter from Henry Clews s Co., from which the
extract is taken:


AT last the United States appears about ready to
take its share of the worlds CONNIE rcial activity.
One great offset political disturbances is the un
usually BountifuI harvest now practically assured
This is the best diversion from politics that could
have happened. In all parts of the country mer-
chants are preparing for active business this aut
umn Factories are already filled with orders to
supply anticipated demands. The steel industry
shows greater activity than ever, and is running
close full capacity at good prices with big vol
ume of orders still in sight. The demand comes
chiefly from railroads and new building enterprises
Railroads are sure to be heavy buyers for along
period ahead, simply to satisfy imperative demands
for better equipment and better facilities at terminal
points This condition also will compel the railroads
to- make large additional capital applications during
the next few months. How they will succeed con-
sidering the high rates which new capital now de-
mands remains to be seen. 50.
The reports of big crops and their increased
money values are already familiar. Conditions in
quence ripening for period of very active
business in the United States. There is no reason,
except politics, why 1918 should not prove record
breaking year. ....

r. W. Aylett moved the following
amendment TO the platform:

nent TO that part or the Organic
Act which makes citizenship of the
