the public, unbound by any rules, save
its own Judgment and taste, often dis
sents from favorable criticism. and will
have none Of the thing that is favora-
bly, criticised, but rejects it out Of
hand; while it may, and often does,
approve in spite of expert hostile criti.
cism. AS a rule, in the process of years,
the common judgment, even of those
best qualified to criticise and Judge, is
that the public has been right when
ever it has differed from the critics.
The famous case of Bunyans "Pil-
inously condemned and execratcd by
tho critics, but which was taken by the
public TO its heart as a great, master
full work, is always in point. And when
the public differs from the critics, the
critics have to change, just AS they did
as to Bunyan.
Every age has its own standards Of
values as to criticism and to things crit.
icised. The former things so greatly
praised, classics so highly thought of
that their supreme mastery must al
ways be acknowledged, are no longer
acceptable to the public, aud new
things are demanded This is the su.
premo prerogative Of the public, which
judges according to its own taste, with.
out rule and without accountability.
The judgment is there; 1t is expressed
unreservedly, and 1t is idle to fight
against that Judgment, whether it is
favorable or unfavorable.
The general proposition, then, comes
right back to this; that critics do not
have to be trained, precisely as By
ron sarcastically, yet moro truly
than he imagined, said, for the public
does the criticising for itself, and Its
judgment is unfailingly right, though
not trained, and often held TO be un-
intelligent; but it's effectiveness no
one can dispute.

WATER CONSERVATION.

The letter sent out from the CONNER
cial club signed by President Z. D
Woodruff and Chairman Oscar L. Co:
of the Clubs Irrigation and Drainage
Committee, Is one Of the most import
ant letters affecting the development
Of the State that has come from any
body for long time.
The recent meeting Of irrigators held
in this city was devoted very largely tc
discussions Of the best practical means
for the conservation of water 1t was
amply demonstrated by experts in the
use Of water, that tho customary appli
cation Of water to the lands in agricul
tural operations In this State is far and
away beyond any need; in fact. beyond
tho best use Of the water. Less water
would bo better for the crops, and less
water would eliminate altogether the
overflow and the destruction of lower
lands by the floods from over irriga-
iion.
The letter from the Commercial Club
refers explicitly to the opinion Of the
experts In water use, and reinforces
that expert opinion by calling upon the
farmers Of this State to receive the In
strlction that Is necessary and to con"
servo the water supply, SO that the best
results can be obtained from the lands
now under cultivation and a consider
able area of lands now unused can be
;nko ,p1Y;,,otiou
The club states that the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Agricul-
tural College will cooperate with lin
tied number Of irrigation companies in
the measurement Of their waters, and
will also advise the farmers whom they
supply as to the best methods known to
agricultural experts, applicable to their
climates and soils, in the use and con-
servation of water. This points prac-
teal way whereby a good beginning can
be made ON lines of actual tillage of
lands and use of water. It is to be
hoped that the cooperation Of a suffi-
cient number Of irrigation companies
and OF the farmers that are supplied
with irrigation water by those COM
panies may be obtained to get the start
that is needed in this new irrigation on
expert and better economic lines. With
Utah in the lead in this new departure,
other communities that farm on arid
ands will necessarily fall into line, and
the benefit will be not only for this
State, for all Of the arid region.
The letter is an excellent one, and
It's purpose is to do vast amount Of
good for the State. If its advice is
needed there can be no question but
hat this advantage will be realized.

TARIFF HEARINGS DENIED.

The Democratic Senators, by practi-
cally strict party vote, have denied
hearings to the business interests of
this country on the proposed tariff re-
vision by their party. This is not only
bad business policy, and tnconsiderate
of the interests Of the country in gem
eral, but it is poor politics; for it is
abundantly evident that the tariff bill
that passed. the House is not framed on
proper lines. Amendments Of various
kinds are admittedly necessary. Sena-
tor Hoke Smith of Georgia plainly told
President Wilson that the bill would
have to be amended at many points in
lligent.
But the Senate needs all the help
that it can get in making the bill a
practical measure-consistent and in
telligent; for the Senators have not
sufficient information on which to
frame a practical tariff measure. They
have taken all the pains that they can
to deprive themselves Of necessary in.
formation On tariff questions. The
Senate has been especially touchy at
all times on this question, and resent
full Of any idea that it could be in
structed, or obtain any information
which it does not already possess. And
yet that the Senate has n mass of mis-
information On tariff questions, one
need 90 no further than the tariff re-
vision Of 1909 in that body to make
absolutely certain and clear. And the
same mass Of misinformation appears
yet to adhere to the minds of the SEN
ators. Still, some of them, and espe.
cially tho new members, like Hoke
Smith Of Georgia, sec clearly enough
that things are wrong, and that in the
ordinary course Of ignorant cropping
about, they cannot be made right. But
Senator Hoke Smith votes with his par
ty to suppress the very information
that he practically admits the Senate
needs.
The Republican members of the Sen
ate have learned enough about the tar
iff question to know that they need
information on the subject; but If they
were in the majority, as they were four
years ago, 1t is doubtful indeed if they
would welcome information any moro
now than they did then. That they do
welcome information now and would be
glad to get 1t, even though that dis
position On their part is partisan, is at
least e hopeful sign.
There are Indications that enough
Democratic Senators will break away
from the caucus rule to defeat certain
portions of this bill, notably those pro.
viding for FREQ wool and FREQ sugar.
The two Democratic Senators from
Louisiana have given official notice
that they will oppose the bill SO far as
free sugar is concerned. The two Demo
cratic Senators from Montana, the great
wool-producing State, are likely to di-
vide on this question, one favoring
free wool, the other against 1t. But
there should certainly be enough Demo.
cratic Senators from the wool States of
Colorado and Oregon to swing the Sen.
ate against free wool,
The reluctance of the Senate to re-
ceive information In regard to free wool
Is good deal like the old story Of the
college man who refused to tako up the
study Of Greek because that alphabet
has such ffupy liftla ornoloI L..

Scarcity Of laborers throughout the

known continually, the drain Of foreign
laborers on account of the Balkan war

history. but it is coming from the estab.

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The great event in business circles
during the week has been the "Greater
Utah - boost, in the visit Of the dele.
cation from Salt Lake City and other
points to various cities and communities
| of this State. The boosters started out
on Monday morning and made gen.
eral tour, first to the north and then to
the central portions of the State, and
the south. Everywhere the boosters
were received with enthusiastic well
come and appropriate observances. The
tour wound MP very auspiciously last
night in tho great boost meeting in tho
Tabernacle, 1t has been week of
boosting for Utah such as has never
been seen before, and the termination
in the big meeting last night was the
consummation Of the tour and the great
elimination of all There can be no
question but that the week has been
profitably spent by the boosters, nor
that the influence of the tour and Of
last nights meeting will be perma-
nently for good not only throughout the
State, but for the State generally,
y.
"
The business affairs of the city dur.
ing the week have progressed in good
form, with the merchants making large
and satisfactory sales, and with plenty
of money on the part Of the customers
to pay for their purchases. Collections
are fair, and the business outlook is
very good
The building operations have been in
large degree hung up by the strike,
which seems to be in a sort Of a dor
mant condition, with each side waiting
for the other to make a move. There
is no acerbity of feeling, and the time
appears to be ripe for getting together
and pushing work
The real estate market keeps up its
firm tone, every one recognizing the
profits to be obtained in investing in
Salt Lake real estate Prices here are
far lower than in cities Of even less
Importance than this. The weekly sum.
ming up of sales shows a good aggre~
gate and the realty men are in fine
spirits all the time over the business
done and over the bright outlook.
There is here, as elsewhere, apprehen- |
sion with respect to the effect Of the |
tariff on lead and zinc, although as to !
these the market has already discounted |
the effect Of the tariff and perhaps
even more. The like apprehension pre-
walls as to wool and sugar, although as !
to the latter there is a well.founded
hope that prices can be maintained in |
spite Of the tariff cut and of the pros-
pect Of free sugar in three years.
The railroad situation has been en-
livened by the presence here Of a con.
siderable number Of railroad men dur
ing the week.
The railroads are making prepara.
tions for carrying the large crowds that
are expected to attend the National |
Education Association convention in

of the situation.
The report of the international
Smelling and Refining Company has
been released, showing 1912 slightly
below 1911 in earnings. This was due
to the closing of the copper smelter in
the fall of 1912, when the Bingham
camp was tied up by the strike. The
company is now going full blast at both
the copper and lead smelters, and the
present year gives promise of being the
banner one for the organization.
Stocks have remained little changed
from last week. The local mining share
market has been specially affair
largely, with buying governed by re-
ported mine conditions The public is
proceeding carefully in its support of
the market. In the East there have
been continued declines, with the senti-
ment in favor Of an early upward
movement in which the dividend copper
shares should play a generous part
The general commercial agencies In
their reports Of the week show some
abatement of activity, due chiefly to
expected tariff changes, but the vol
ume of transactions in all the leading
branches of trade and industry is very
large, Conservatism rules in the East,
but in the agricultural regions Of the
Mississippi valley and of the South
there is marked feeling Of confidence,
based on the splendid crop conditions
and the enormous export trade, much Of
which means large returns to producers
in those sections.
The large decrease in bank exchanges
Of 13 per cent, as compared with the
corresponding week last year, it is ex-
planned, was chiefly due to reduced
speculative transactions in New York.
where the percentage of decrease was

ACLERGYMAN'S STORY
Came Near Losing His Life-HOW He Escaped

We quote from another letter, dated
December 10, 1906: Il praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it also"
In a letter dated November %,
1909, we quote Rev Roberts: Pc
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintance
know that. I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter. dated January Is.
1910. he says: Il shall ever in the
future, as in the past. be ready to
speak in praise of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. 1 believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From a letter Of September S, 1911.
we quote a few words: Il am still
among the living. AS to Peruna. L
do not feel that have words to e1-
press the faith I have in its merits
I feel that Peruna has been the
means. through the kind providence
of God, of prolonging my life for
more than ten years"
We quote a still later letter. October
81. 1912. He says: 81 took severe
cold three weeks ago. 1 at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking it two
weeks. 1 am now better. l consider
that Peruna has carried me over
dozen years of life. l always stand
ready to answer any question IN REL
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter. dated
January 2, 1913; Dear Friends:
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
Kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year. and
that your medicine may prove
blessing to many as it has to me,
am yours as ever, G. w. Roberts,
Hartsen, Alabama, r. F. D. 2. Box

1t is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-
ouence and pathos of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or afidavits. Who can doubt the
story? Who can doubt
that Peruna saved his life?
