THE ANSWER TO JAPAN.

| The answer of our State Department
to the "demand cf Japan was a good
deal OF joke. But it was no joke to
have the japanese Embassador say to
the Secretary that he would wait in his
Office for reply to his peremptory de
mand, and to see Secretary Bryan trot
over to the Cabinet meeting and then
trot back to give an account to the
waiting autocrat of the result of his er-
rand.
The points made in the reply. as
stated in the dispatches, constitute.
first, plea for delay, second, the sur
prising statement that since Governor
Johnson had not yet signed tho bill
nothing could be said about it, an OBJ
vious fact, but rather irritating under
the circumstances, since Governor John
son IS purpose to sign it is thoroughly
known. Third, founded upon the pro-
position for delay, the suggestion is
made that In case Governor Johnson
does sign the BILL there should be a
series of pourparlers, or diplomatic con.
ferences, to treat of the whole matter.
The reply, therefore, is technical and
evasive. it is, however, precisely the
sort of reply that ought to have been
made to Japan's bumpGous assertive.
ness and arbitrary assumption of SUI
perior right, long before, in this mat
ter.
It is plain that Japan is and has been
running q sorry bluff upon the United
States: and it is humiliating to see our
President and Secretary of State cringe
and trucl1le to Japanese arrogance. But
it can be safely assumed, we have no
doubt, that when the pinch comes the
American backbone will not fail, as it
never has failed heretofore.

urement Of Water as an importau t
educating lesson to the farmers He
rightfully held that the measurement
of water used is of the greatest i'm
portance, though il has been much neg
lected. When the farmers learn to
apply the rule of use OF water rs laid
down by the expert Investigations and
experience of the soils and climate OF
the particular region affected. they will
know better than they could possibly
know otherwise than by measurement,
just what can be done with the water
supply at their service.
Professor T. L. West of the Utah
Agricultural College, also spoke of tho
value of recording water measurements
being the third speaker OF the day TO
emphasize the Importance, the need,
and the educating effect Of these meas.
urements.
Mr.. J, L. Lytle, Project Engineer Of
the Strawberry enterprise told of wa
ter investigations made under his di.
rection and Of tho results The bene-
ficial effect OF the Strawberry enter.
prise was pointed out and the resultant
good TO the State was earnestly set
forth
The beneficial effect Of such a meet
ing as this cannot be overestimated-
The speakers were all practical men.
and everything they said was OF such
character that it should be carefully
noted and reflected upon by the farm
ers of this State.
The resolutions adopted by the meet
ing put into explicit form the points
emphasized by the speakers, and urged
the q. S. Department of Agriculture,
the Research Branch OF the u. s. Ge.
illogical Survey, and the Utah Agricul~
tural College to work for the publica-
tion of material in the same line, and
for the giving Of prizes in the schools
by the State and county governments,
TO students for work in that direction.
They also urged AN effort to finance
demonstrators who would explain 10
the farmers in different parts of the
State the better use Of water, and ia.
vored u permanent committee to ac-
complish the purposes Of the resolu.
tions. Altogether it was what we
hope may fairly be called an epoch
making assemblape.

s. Embassador to Mexico, has no official
standing in the eyes Of the present ad-
ministration, he stated an obvious
fact.
The present government In Mexico
will have nothing TO do with Embassa
dor Wilson, officially, He is there &C
credited to a former government of
Mexico, and not TO the present one. If
it should transpire that any real nego.
tiations were necessary between the
United States and Mexico, Embassador
Wilson IS position would not be official,
but. Is Huerta says as personal
friend (also no doubt as a do facto
he could treat with Mr.. Wilson. but
automatically he has no standing. y
That is so plain q case that it is sur
prising, that any question should have
arisen about it, if indeed there has
been any such question as seems to be
implied in the dispatches. Still, as q
hold,over Embpssador, Mr.. Wilson has
a de facto relation to the succeeding dc
facto government which gives him suf
fcient standing.
Nothing is to be imputed against
Provisional President Huerta by reason
of his stand in this matter, Huerta IN
this simply recognizes and states the
plain facts, that Wilson is not accredited
TO him, and that the Huerta govern
ment has not been recognized by the
l.k L, oil 20
it, and the facts are so plain and undis-
puted that there can really be no con
troversy about them.

The arraigning and censure of Clio.
Var before the bar OF the House of
Representatives because he had
Punched the nose of a member who
had insulted him, was ridiculous. A
i!recedent was found for 1t, Of course: !:
but SO could r precedent have been
found for fighting duels between mem.
bers and between members and citi.
zens, when no notice was taken of the
matter By the House. The lesson is
that when member insults a citizen
and gets his nose smashed, 1t is a seri-
Gus offense against the dignity of the
house, and an invasion Of constitu.
tional privilege; but when a member
lights duel with another member or
with a citizen not member, on ac.
count OF matter spoken officially. there
IS no invasion either of the dignity OF
tho House or Of constitutional pr;yi.

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

A leading business interest in the city
at the present time is the great ex
cursion by business men Of Utah tc
different parts Of the State tho pres.
ent week. It is f'get acquainted ex.
cursion, and also 4 business excursion
designed to establish closer and better
relations in the interest of both coun.
try and city, between the two. It is
called "The Greater Utah Excursion, -
and the hope and intent are that it will
be an important element in the build
ING up OF that Greater Utah.
All indications are that the present
season will be record one in agricul-
ture and fruit raising in Utah. The
frosts so far have not materially dam
aged the fruit, and there is abundance
Of water for all agricultural needs, as
suring heavy yields of grains and other
products,
There have been number of labor
controversies in the city, and some
strikes. But we are glad to see that
these are getting in process of amicable
settlement, The differences between
the street railway company and its en-
ployees were settled without strike
The strike of the working brewers was
settled without much delay through
amicable negotiations, The other
strikes have retarded somewhat the
building operations, but it is hoped that
resumption Of work will now be prompt
and that the promises of the building
season will be we'll maintained.
The realty market OF this city is al
ways in excellent form, because every
one understands the certainty of this
becoming great city, and the advan-
tage of owning realty therein. The
dealers all report lively inquiry and
numerous sales. Our big story this
morning in other columns is the best
boost the realty market hero has had
in long time. 1t shows great profits
in realty investments here, and that
real estate here is held at much lower
rates than in any other city Of its size
and prospects.
The merchants of the city report
fair week, practically the opening Of
the summer trade. The week has been
fair as to weather, dry and warm.
Seasonable goods have been in brisk de.
mand and the purchasers have no lack
OF money TO take the goods that they
want in all lines OF trade

HUERTA's POSITION CLEAR

The position taken by Provisional
President Huerta of Mexico towards our
de facto Embassador Wilson in the City
OF Mexico, seems to us to be perfectly
sound. ambassador Wilson was accred-
tied to President Madero. He has new
er been accredited TO President Huerta.
nor has Huerta's government been rec
ognized by the United States; and when
Huerta says fatty (nlthough he did not
say it in his diplomatic talk. but pri-
vately,) thnt "Henry Lane Wilson, U.

One Of the most encouraging devel-
opponents OF the past week in mining
circles was the April statistics released
on Thursday by the American Pro
ducers Association, showing Il decrease
in the domestic copper stocks during
the month of over 2S,000,000 pounds.
This amount was much more than dou
bic the decrease that the better in
formed authorities had hoped for, and
this happy result was due not to de-
creased production, but to increased do
mestic deliveries and exports.
The effect of this report was seen
Immediately in the strengthened cop
per metal market, and upwards Of 30,-
100000 pounds were reported sold at

upon the copper share market, tho in
vestor being out of the market for the

ment has things pretty much to itself.

opement that was not expected. Spell
