The State is Taking Notice.

That Cedar City is coming into its own is
evidenced by the newspaper comment she is re-
ceiving through the press of the state, especially
through the southern portion.
The following editorial comment from the
Beaver Press is indicative of the fact that Mil
ford has at last realized that the county to the
south is forging ahead at pace that is soon tc
place it at the front among the counties of the
state;
1t is well for the people of Milford to
' realize that while Milford itself is apretty
Y good town there are other good towns in
Southern Utah.. 1t is especially mete for
us to occasionally turn our attention to
these other towns because of the fact that
Milford is the hub of the Universe in
Southern Utah in that almost every town
in this part of the State pays tribute to u.s.
The editor of this paper has been absent
for the last ten or twelve days. during
which time he has visited both Cedar City

The Other Side of the Question.

There are not few individuals and a great
marv newspapers, some of national influence that
are demanding the government Of the United
States to interfere in the Mexican controversy, and
condemn President Taft for not taking some ac-
ton looking o an invasion of that country by the
military of this country.
The reasons advanced are that the lives of
Americans are being endangered and their pro-
perty destroyed. Regardless of the clamor, the
president and his cabinet steadfastly refuse to be
alarmed or to act hastily. And there is no doubt
but that the officials at Washington doing the
only right and proper thing for this country to do
unless conditions assume more serious aspect
than anything that has developed UP to this time
keep out of the fracas.
The fact is quite clear that one country has
no right to interfere with the affairs of another
country simply because few of it's citizens and
their property therein are in danger as the result
of an organized warfare. When subject of one
country leaves it and goes to another and takes up
his residence there and acquires property interests
there he does so solely because he thinks he is
lettering his condition, else he wouldn't leave his
own country. In effect, he says that he no longer
feels that his own country is the right place for
him; tina. another offers him better opportunities
lis more to his liking. He leaves his own home
land to develop and build up another And when
he takes up his new residence he believes its laws
it's form of government the liberties or the licen-
ces he enjoys are more satisfying to him and he
adopts them by implication at least as being bet
ter suited to hisway Of looking at things.
This being true why then should the country
he has left be required to endanger the lives of
its loyal manhood. the accumulations of its loyal
citizenship simply because such an one has later
discovered that something is not to his liking in
the land of his adoption. The property he has
there was accumulated thereit is part of the
mass of wealth of the country in which he is resd
ing. Not being subject to the control of or hav-
ing been furnished by the country of his nativity
what right has such country to interfere? None
unless it be the right of might. No justification
can be be found for such interference.
Were the individual merely guest of that
country visiting for brief time with no intention
to reside or remain permanently for any consider
able time the matter would appear in an alto
gether different aspect. guest is entitled to the
highest consideration and care by his host and a
citizen Of one country travelling or visiting in
another should be safely protected from violence
oil any kind and unless SO protected the country
Of which he is subject is wholly justified in
taking such measures as will insure such pro-
lection. ~.

cares not thinkers darn for his "own' country

A RottOn Condition, 1t rlust Be.

With the exposure of the over-issue of county
warrants in excess of $4,000, and bitter and
unrelenting attack on the high-handed methods
of the Bull Moose commissioners of the county,
the disregard of the opinions Of the county at
torney and the hiring of special LAWYER, followed
by the resignation of the county clerk and the
county treasurer, the refusal of certain men to
accept appointment to fill the vacancies, involving
of the mayor of Price in the fight his attempt to
horse.whip the editor fnis aid Snd the fear
full scoring to which he is being Subjected by the
paper, there is certainly rotton condition exist
ing in Carbon county and genera house cleaning
by grand jury should follow, if we to believe
the extensive articles now appearing in the East
ern Utah Advocate of Price.
And that such a condition is in large mea,-
ure true is rot to be disputed for no paper would
dare make the charges that the Advocate makes
unless they were about nnety-eight per cent true.
But it is nothing less than we have expected to
hear, for Price and Carbon county have been
going at pace that means disaster if not halted
With almost as many saloons as all other lines of
business together gambling running wide open,
prostitutes enough to cast stigma on city of
thrice the population of Price, prize fights as. a
regular form of amusement, what more is to be
expected. Can anything else be expected when
the officials of city and county are conserving
and hobnobbing with such an element? II is as
natural as that water should become dscolored
with the addition of red ink. But if the Advocate
keeps up its present line of attack there will be
some scurrying to the tall timber down in that Sec
ton of the country before the thing is over.
During the last ten days fierce battle has
been raging in the streets of the beautiful city
of Mexico between Madero and his government
troops and the followers of Fleix Diaz nephew
of the former president The city, said to be
one of the most beautiful in the world has been
almost ruined. the streets being torn up and the
magnificent buildings wrecked by the artillery
of the contendng armies. And what for? We
doubt if there is a single Mexican who could
give satisfactory answer except to say that it Is
to satisfy the ambitions of self-seelsing political
tyrants Peace for Mexico appears to be an i'm
possibility.

Star state might adorn that of 1.-THE new New

Ripped, rddled and torn by the shells of the
newer and more modern ships, to prove the
craftsmanship OF whose men the Texas was de-
stroyed, the hulk Of that old ship-a sister of
the Maine that went down In Havana harbor,
and which going down hastened the conflict with
Spain-still half floats in Chesapeake bay. Just
enough of her left to provide another marksman-
ship test for some mighty dreadnaught Of the
fleet under Admiral Badger
AS went the old Texas, so will go some of the
other ships OF the fleet that is obsolete. Already
the Indiana is mentioned the next martyr ship
for the Atlantic feet, and after her the Massa-
chusetts, and then the Iowa, and perhaps within
year or two the Kearsarge and the Kentucky,
the Alabama, the Illinois, and the Wisconsin, all
OF them beyond all question or doubt now Of the
obsolete type of fighting craft.
But let's call the roll of the obsolete feet, and,

ships. while all America Joined In one grand hur-
rah for navy that was admittedly one of the
best on the seven seas
The American navy is still among the best, but
the ships that were fought by Dewey and by
Sampson and by Schley are no longer figured In
the lineup that makes the great feet under COM
mand of Rear Admiral Badger one of the most
powerful fighting organizations the world has
ever seen.
Every one of the famous ships of 1898 is today
officially admitted to be obsolete. and all of them
put together would not be as powerful as is the
giant superdreadnaught Wyoming, or the Arkan-
eas or the Florida, or the Utah, any one OF
which would be match for all the ships that
fought under Dewey and Sampson combined. If
such test should be made.
Just year ago the then secretary of the navy,
George Won L. Meyer. publicly called attention~to
the fact that the American navy had more than
its full quota of battleships whose day. In the
first line had passed and the places Of which
would have to be taken by more modern ships OF
the Wyoming and Florida classes II the United
States was to retain its position as the worlds
second naval power. The other day the observa-
ton of the ex-nayal secretary was recalled by
naval officer in New York, who took pencil and
pad and, going back fifteen and twenty and
twenty-five years, figured out just what the obso.
lete ships now adjoining the naval lists originally
cost the United States government.
that total value of famous ships that are ready
to die a naval death of old age. The result was
astounding, and when at last the navy man wiped
his brow and announced the result Of that little
mathematical feat Of his he had proved that the
value Of those ships, some Of them still less than
a dozen years old reached the stupendous total
of more than $100,0OO00O, or, to be exact.

the Saratoga, the name given SIMPSONS old flag
ship New York when her name was taken so
that It could be given to the mighty superdread-

Indiana, ana the Massachusetts,, sister ships:
which won fame and glory before Santiago. and
the Oregon which won the plaudits Of an admir-
ing world by her great run around the Horn, and
which in her old age will probably be given the
honor Of being the first American war vessel to
pass through the Panama canal In April Of next
year.
Then Of course. there was the old Texas, the
ship that was commanded by the beloved Captain
Philip, the vessel from the deck Of which he
offered his prayer of thanksgiving to God when
