How Speed Mania Was Cured

Not all persons upon becoming the
owner of a motor vehicle imagine the
price paid for the machine includes
ownership of the streets, but a good
many seem to have that impression.
The change from lodging a car to
being lodged is apt to be one in
which the rights of the pedestrian
are quickly forgotten. In our large
cities the loss of life from automo-
biles and motorcycles has grown to
be something frightful, and largely
unnecessary. In some European
cities the remedy is to arrest and
fine the one who is so slow and
stupid as to get run over-that is, if
he survives. But no such process
of law will be tolerated here, nor
Fshould it. On the other hand, motor
cars are a modern necessity and the
streets are no longer a safe place in
which children can play. There must
be moderation and caution on the
part of both.
The enforcem ent of a reasonable
speed reduces the accident and death
rate to a minimum, and Chicago has
demonstrated that such a reform can
be easily accomplished in few days
Several deaths each week from
motors had rolled up total of IS
in a short time, and something had
| to be done This is the cure, and it
was accomplished in a few days:
While / 3 miles an hour is the legal
high speed, 20 miles was unofficial
| ly assumed to be the limit Anyone
| exceeding that speed was promptly
arrested and fined heavily, with the
promise that the amount would be
doubled for a second offense. In
stead of the case being brought be-
fore some friendly magistrate in the
| district where the arrest was made,
all cases were heard by one Judge.
This permitted system of records,
with the promise that something be-
| sides fines would be imposed after
| the second offense. For about d
week the fines aggregated over $500
a day and then suddenly dropped.
The effect was very noticeable after
| the third day; at the end of the first
week there was really very little vio-
lation of the rules. The reform was
| accomplished so easily and quickly,
| that there seems no need for any
other speer-infested city to longer
tolerate such needless condition of
| danger.-H. H. Windsor in the Sep
tember Popular Mechanics Magazine

Is Apple Planting Overdone?

There were one-fourth less bearing
apple trees in 1910 than in 1900
ISL, 1928 900 as compared with COL
$4,000 and 100, 100000 in 1890.
The editor of Farm and Home says
the condition would be little short
Of alarming were it not for the great
number of young trees which had
been planted during those ten years.
The census figures recently made
public show 151,00O,000 trees in
bearing, which produced 148, 100000
bushels of apples worth $50, 100000,
or about So cents per tree. Apple
enthusiasts and boomers will find in
these figures some food for solid
reflection. They fall far short of
the glittering possibilities so often
mentioned.
To offset the decrease of 100000
bearing trees there were nearly &C.,
100000 trees not in bearing when
the census was taken. OF course
many of these will never reach bear
ing age, nor produce any apples. The
old trees are dying fast, for the NOR
tally in ten years seems to have
been 25 per cent.
In spite of the very heavy plant
ing which some pessimistic growers
think has been overdone, the figures
show that we are barely holding our
own with the number of trees in
bearing 10 years ago, whereas the
population and the demand for APP
pies has shown a very marked in
crease. OF course with better cul-
tural methods, such as given by pro-
gressive orchardists, the average
yield and income per tree will be ma
terially increased, but not a very
large per cent of the trees receive
such care.

Preparation of Choice Hams

Home curing of hams is probably
not as general as it was in former
years. Still 1t would seem that no
farmer who raises hogs should be
without the knowledge required to
prepare hams of good quality at least
for home use. The process is COM
paratively simple and requires no
special skill AS pointed out by E.
w. Magruder of the Virginia state de-
partment of agriculture, the essential
conditions which must be realized
are healthy hogs and sound meat.
To secure a healthy hog, give them
plenty of range with as great vari-
ETY. of food as possible, and plenty
of good, clean water. Smithfield
hogs are allowed to run at large most
of the year. If you have woods to
supplement your pasture. so much
the better. The hogs then obtain a
variety of food. as nuts, berries
roots and grass. In hunting over the

Cooking

As DR.. Magruder states, "after the
ham is cured one of the most i'm
portant operations must be gone
through with before it is ready for
the table-that is, the cooking"
The hog may have been raised
right, fattened properly, killed at the
right time, and cured as it should be,
but if it is not cooked properly the
previous work is all in vain and the
ham is not good.
A large ham-say IS pounds-is
much better Favored, sweeter and
more juicy than a small one-say
under eight pounds.
Wash the ham thoroughly, then
soak in cold water several hours, the
time varying with the size of the
ham. This soaking is to dissolve out
the excess of salt. The ham Is then
put in the boiler full of boiling water.
The temperature should be lowered
slightly and the boiler just kept sim
mering. Keep the water just barely
boiling for four and one-half hours
for an 1S-pound ham; that is, a quar-
ter of an hour for each pound of
ham. If the hams are larger or
smaller, vary the time to suit the
weight. AS the water boils out add
fresh boiling water, and always keep
the boiler full For very large hams
1t is advisable to cook in two waters.
Why should the ham be put in boil
Ing water? Portions of the lean

to the Democratic primaries for tn,
various state positions certainly gave
some food for political reflection. Foul
and two years ago the Democratic
party in convention assembled prom
sed reforms of most advanced ma
ture. The members of that party told
the people of Colorado that II they
were chosen and given charge Of the
affairs of the state of Colorado would
be given the greatest amount of re
form legislation of any state in the
union. In fact, It was promised in
both instances that all the people
needed to do to secure control by the
people was to elect Governor Shafroth
and the rest Of the Democratic candi.
dates. The people elected them on
both occasions. One of the promises
was a direct primary law. A law so
good that no machine could control
any nomination of single candidate.
Four years have elapsed since the
Democrats made the first promises
and two years have gone by since they
reiterated those promises. They did
enact primary law and the Pueblo
assembly was the first time that law
was placed in active operation by the
Democratic party.
What happened?
Did the people control?
Was there any effort made to down
machine methods and results?
A derisive laugh answers all three
questions. Instead of the people con-
trolling, the machine controlled in its
entirety. And even Governor Shat.
roth, the great reform agent of the
people, was afraid to go before the
people of the state in his effort to
secure a United States senatorship
without the aid Of the machine which
he declared the primary law would
abolish. At the last moment he tied
up with the Denver organization and
came to Pueblo full fiedged machine
man in an effort to be high man on
the primary ballot.
Again, what is true of Governor
Shafroth was true Of practically every
man before that convention. Crying
for reform, yet doing their best to
gain favor from the machine, the can.
didates one and all used every effort
possible to tie up with the machine
and forget the promises and the pledg.
es they had made two and four years
ago to do away with this much abused
machine.
View the situation from another
vantage point. Is there man placed
before the people by that assembly
for the nomination in the primary up.

ing the conference. OF these only
about half of the number used their
return coupons the assumption being
that the others had decided to 10.
cate permanently in the west.
Bear in mind, this was the result
of but ONE congress. With two such
congresses coming to Salt Lake this
month is it not an suspicious season
for Utah?
These congresses are what Utah
needs. The entire state needs more
advertising. More advertising means
more people. and more people means
more business and greater prosperity.
With $4,000 people coming to Utah
this month-and such an estimate il
not overdrawn-the state is certain
to receive an impetus that will set
1t well on the way to the 100000 pop.
ulation mark.

on whom the people can trust to give
''c many relief from the so called ma
chine? Is there a candidate for the
United States senate, named at PHI

and controlled by the interests whom
Democracy promised to forsake?
Will any of the men as represented

amount of reform work should thew
be sent to Washington?
Has 1t ever been changed against
Maupin, Ammons, Fitzgerald, that
they were leaders in any great reform
movement looking toward the better
ment Of the people?
In fact, Is there a candidate going
before the Democratic primaries
whose record proves him to be an ad
vocate Of a single refori - !bout which
Democracy has preached so long?
What the Chieftan is trying to show
is that after four years of Democrat.
ic reform promises, that same party
meets again under circumstances
which II 1t cares to, it could at least
nominate one reform man for each
position and instead it presents to its
party membership a list of men. ey.
eryone of whom is known to be at
heart against all Of the so called re-
forms.
Naturally, the question is asked,
What was 1t all about?" Where do
the people get any relief? What diff
ferences does 1t make so far as gov
eminent by the people is concerned,
whether Pearce or Capp is nominated
as the Democratic candidate for Sec
rotary Of state? What differences does
1t make so far as the people is con-

WILL NOT PLAY
TRAITOR.

That Hon. Paul GLADSTONE of Idaho
is in the progressive movement for
principle and principle alone is evi.
dent from his recent announcement
wherein he refuses to run on a third
party ticket. In this respect Mr..
Clagstone presents a monument of
manhood and fair play towards his
fellow republicans, as compared to the
treschery Of great many others who
are in 1t just to get office, or to hold
on to the offices they now have or to
prevent others from getting what
they cant get themselves.
Mr.. GLADSTONE went before the Ida
no primaries as a progressive repub.
lican and was defeated by the mar.
row margin of Is votes. Naturally
he has since been importuned by many
or the treacherous crew to run on a
third party ticket. 1t is refreshing
to note the turn down he handed
them. He says;
While a great many progressives
have suggested my name as a posi-.
BILE candidate for the governorship
next fall, ! feel that / entered the
race in the Republican primaries as
a straight out Roosevelt progressive
and nearly won. I feel that / must
abide by the result and under no cir.
cumstances will accept the nomina-
ton for governor on third party
ticket"
Mr.. GLADSTONE will be congratulated
by all honest men for his consistent,
manly stand.
