and south of that county the amounts
were comparatively light, there being

At the close of the month there
was practically no SNOW remaining

BREAKING UP ESTATES.

One Of the purposes embraced in
Chancellor Lloyd3George IS tax budget
which made such a sensation in Great
Britain four years ago, was openly and
avowedly to break up large landed es-
tates in England. Tho owners Of those
estates fought the bill desperately, be-
cause they knew that they would either
have to pay taxes beyond all measure
greater than heretofore, or else sell
their large ancestral acres. 1t appears,
however, that the landed gentry Of Eng
land have made tremendous effort to
hold on to their estates; but now the
bill has begun to work its ultimate ends.
Ii was all we'll enough for the nobility
TO hold these great estates as long as
they could either escape taxation upon
them or pay ut rate far below the
taxation upon other lands in their vicin-
ity. or ms long as they could get ten

THE STATE FAIR OVER.

The Utah State Fair, which closed
yesterday, has been the best, the most
attractive, and the most all-around
satisfactory Fair ever held in this
State. The exhibits have been better
and of greater variety, the attendance
has been very great, and the general
spirit animating all who had to do with
the Fair, as well as all visitors to the
Fair, has been of the most encourag-
ing order. Every one who saw the Fair
appreciated it fully, and every one who
had anything to do with the manage.
ment did his or her best to make the
Fair popular and successful.
No wonder, then, that the Fair has
surpassed all others in every desirable
quality. The favorable season, to be
sure, has had its impressive effect up
on the Fair, in allowing of the pre-
sentation Of all products Of the soil of
the finest character, of the most at
tractive appearance, and of the most
enticinC taste.
And so the Utah State Fair Of 1913
passes into history as the greatest Fair

the most satisfactory in every respec t..

THE KAISER AND BEER.

A good deal has been made Of the re-
port that the Emperor of Germany has
como out squurely and fairly against
liquor drinking, and in favor OF abso-
lutely refraining from all forms OF al.
coholic, vinons, OF fermented bever-
ages. He goes to the length, even, Of
denouncing beer as unfit to drink, and
throwing the great weight Of his e1-
ample and inculcntion against it, The
account as first received seemed incred-
ible, but 1t has been repeated so many
times that the public is justified in be-
lieving it true.
At the same time there comes the re-
port that q number Of students have
been expelled from the Greifswald Uni
versity because they were total alb
stainers, and refused to drink beer.
Now, it is evident that these two prop
ositions do not go well together If it
is true that the Kaiser has enrolled
himself distinctly in the ranks Of total
abstainers, and is not only setting the
example by totally abstaining himself
but is enforcing that example by pre-.
cept and argument, it is difficult to
understand why he should permit OF
those students being expelled from that
school for doing as he does, and honor
ing his teachings. This would be a di.
rect challenge to the Emperor's good
faith, and he Is not q man to permit
any one to challenge him. When we

A DISHONEST YEARNING.

The Eastern papers give accounts
Of the dishonest yearning for educa-
ton displayed by young man OF
Cleveland, Ohio. He was so anxious
to go to Oxford as one of the Oxford
students from the United States, that
he stole $1400 from his employers to
enable him to go. It seems curious
that young man who had the ability
and such intellectual culture as this
young man must have attained in or
der to be eligible for an Oxford schol-
arship would not have had sufficient
! sense to know that stealing money was
about the worse start in an educational
way that any one could have Educa-
ton, unless it tends to honesty of mind
and Of act, is of disservice rather than
Of service to one who attains it. And
| unless education tends to honesty of
thought and righteousness of purpose,
it surely Is education altogether mis-
directed.
This young man, therefore, In place
Of yearning for education, simply had
general yearning for getting some
thing at the time longed for, without
paying any attention to the dictates
of his educated conscience or to the
standards which he must necessarily
have received in his education up to
this point. 1t is altogether likely,
therefore, that the yearning for oduca-
tion was mere notion, and that if he
had longed for anything else he would
have stolen just the same to attain
the object Of his longing.
We do not, therefore, count the OBJ
ject Of that longing as of any particu-
lar consequence. It was the longing
itself without regard to its object that
led to the stealing, and the longing
showed that this young man was not
only misdirected in his yearnings, but
that he was wholly uncontrolled there
in by such education as he had al
ready received. 1t is probable, there
i fore, that this young man is a natural

peers can no longer afford to do under
the Lloyd George budget. Accordingly,
many Of these surplus lands are now be,

A few offers were made Of portions OF
these estates while the bill was pending
but it was supposed that these offers
were made for political effect or In a
spiteful effort TO discrcdit the Ministry
Moro recently, however, actual sales
have proceeded, and the amount Of land
sold has been heavy out Of all compar'
ison with previous years. In the third
week Of September, tho Duke Of Graf
ton and the Duke Of Newcastle parted
with large fractions Of their holdings
and a considerable portion of the vast
acreage held by the Duke Of Portland
is actually on the market for sale. Lord
Shrewsbury has sold 5000 acres in Che
shire and Lord Islington has sold 1000
acres in Wilkeshire. These noblomeu
say that they cannot afford to keep
their large estates under the Lloyd
George taxation.
It WAS supposed that tho tenantry
would buy up the land which the noble
men were thus forced to sell, but this
has not generally been the cnse. Spec
ulators take the land, and are holding
1t for largo advances and selling 1t OF
such advances In small lots to the nc.
tual farmers. A few Of the peers, how.
ever, have themselves divided their sur
plus acres and are selling them direct
to their tenants.
There is no question but that these
sales will bring very great change
in England. The change will undoubt.

CONFERENCE rs ON.

The Eighty-fourth Semiannual Gener
al Conference Of the Mormon Church be
gan yesterday, in this city. The day was
unpropitious, but this is something that
is quite the usual thing, as the records
show; the conference storm is al
ways expected, and generally comes A
heavy thunderstorm began early on
tinued lowering, with frequent showers.
The air turned quite chilly, and alto,
gether it was an uncomfortable sort of
day,
And yet the attendance will probably
exceed that of any former conference.
The visitors to take part in the e1er-
cises at this nssemblage began arriving
during the week, and day or two be-
fore the conference opened the city was
full of the conference crowds. These
attendants came for triple purpose:
first, to take part in the proceedings Of
the conference; second, to visit friends
and relatives; and third, to buy in
the cheapest market, the one which af-
fords the greatest variety Of choice and
the fullest supply Of all things necdful,
those articles Of merchandise which
they stand in need Of at home, and are
not able to buy to as good advantage In
their homo communities. This triple
purpose is always held in view by the
conference visitors and it is n sntisfac-
tion to know that the Salt Lake bust
ness men welcome these buyers qnd do
their very best In supplying them with
the choicest goods and the broadest op-
portunities for selection that can posi-
bly, be had in this region.
We welcome the conference visitors,
therefore, as good friends in general,
and especially as good customers in
trade, and trust that they may on this
occasion, rs they usually do, spend as
much time as possible with us, and buy
as largely as their means will permit.
It is good to know also that their means
are greater now and are getting greater
year by year than ever before. The
present season has been unusually pro-
life in all forms of agricultural indus
tries and in industries in general
throughout the State; so that money is
more widely diffused and more generally
abundant and available than ever be-
fore.
The conference visitors make our
streets hvely, and stimulate business in
fine style. Reunions Of friends and Of
families are also an important feature,
and the exercises at the Tabernacle are
satisfying to those who take part in
them. Altogether, therefore, the triple
benefits conferred are mutual, and while
Salt Lake welcomes and enjoys the con-
frence crowds, these crowds also receive
benefit and advantage
from their visit to Salt Lake.

born crook, and his explanation that
he wanted to take the money so that
he could gain an Oxford scholarship
is a false one, told glibly to excuse
the theft.
We do not believe that education
gained dishonesty can possibly bo Of
any real service to anyone in his life;
foundation, it is pursued on the basis
Of rascality, and the mind of such q
person becomes more and more imbued
with tho idea that it is quito as well
to steal, TO abuse confidence, and to
take selfish advantages as to pursue
the honest, straightforward course in
life. Necessarily, therefore, person
of that mind, his ideas being con-
firmed from time to time by the suc-
cess Of his crookedness, graduates not
as an educated person in any true sense
Of the word, but as trained rascal,
prey upon the community unlawfully
and immorally; but better fitted by
that education to pursue his nefarious
course. 1t is to be preferred, then, by
all means, that such young man
should not receive an education, since
it is practically certain that he will
abuse that education and the training
Of his mind, which would be training
only for evil purposes rather than the
training Of his mind FOR the good of
himself and the community In which he
may live, Is training that he Will use
for evil ends.

answer is easy; the warships will get

clearly an act Of war to invade Mexican
waters with our navy as to invade her
land with our army.

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

Business has been stimulated to unu-
sual activity in this city during the past
week by the crowds attending the
State Fair and those coming to the
Conference. Trade has been on large
scale and the percentage Of this that
was paid in cash was unusually high.
The bank clearances showed gain of
ances Of the corresponding week last
year.
The excellence Of the agricultural
season has had an important effect up
on trade generally throughout the State,
and the good prices that farmers have
received for their products have dis
tributed money widely and freely, The
year has been unusually good, and the
people Of this State sec the approach
Of winter with a preparedness on every
account which is gratifying, and which
is completer than usual.
The sale Of realty which conveyed
to Mr. Halloran the New Grand Hotel,
corner of Main and Fourth South
streets, involving the large payment of
100000, is the greatest sale reported
for some time. The realty market here
is always firm, and there have been
enough Of good winnings in the pur-
chase OF Salt Lake realty to stimulte
interest therein and invite large in
vestments. For, the fact is that Salt
Lake City realty is held at compare
lively low price when contrasted with
prices of realty in cities of less preten-
sion and Of less splendid future than
it enjoys.
The building season has been an ac-
tive one, but the extent of building was
cut down by the labor strikes of last
May. Except for this the amount of
building this year would have been con-
siderably greater than it is. Even as
the records show, the building aggre-
gates will be high.
The railroad improvements that have
been begun, and many Of them com
pleted, during the present season, show
good activity and firm reliance upon
the growth Of all this region, a reli-
ance which is not in the least likely to
be misplaced.
