srTgUr PeriIous Chewing

One OF the troubles of most European
armies is that those soldiers who can
get hold of 1t insist on using that ter
rible explosive cordite as if it were a
sort of chewing gum. It's popularity Is
due to the fact that when chewed In
small quantities it has stimulating
and exhilarating effect, like small doses
of alcohol It's taste, too, is sweet,
cordite being three-fifths nitroglycerin,
an explosive which is sugary to the
taste. When chewed in large quaint
ties cordite becomes more powerful
in its effects. bringing on blissful
state of ecstasy and sometimes max
ing the victim of the habit see visions.
But the real danger of the habit lies
in the fact that though nitroglycerin
will only explode when given very
hard blow or touched by an electric
spark, there is always Il possibility that
the grinding of exceptionally hard teeth
might provide the necessary hard blow.
Within the last few years at least
three Soldiers two German and one
Austrian have been blown to bits, the
use nf corllitc rs Il chewing gum being
the suspected cause

TO BEAT FREE WOOL.

Referring again 10 the matter of free
wool as proposed in President Wilson s
tariff bill, il is evident that such propo.
sition cannot carry except by the
aid of Democratic Senators from States
that are vitally interested In wool
growing. That bill, as we have noted
heretofore, is undoubtedly drawn on a
radical basis which neither President
Wilson nor the extremists Of the
Democratic politicians can possibly hope
TO get passed in its present form. It
will undoubtedly have to be modified
materially before il can become law.
The Senate is composed Of ninety
six members OF these ffty-one are
Democrats and forty-fve are protec.
tionists, including two Progressives and
forty-three straight Republicans.
On tho wool question there are mt
least four Democratic Senators, two
from Montana and two from Oregon,
whose constituents are vitally interested
in the wool tariff. II is not in the least
likely that those four Senators could
be induced to vote for free wool; but
taking those four Senators out of tine
Democratic column there would remain
but forty-seven free wool men in the
Senate, to forty in favor of n wool
tariff. Doubtless the two Democratic
Senators from Colorado would range
themselves on the same side OF this
question, so that the likelihood Of free
wool disappears at once on the con
aidoration of the membership OF the
Senate and of tho probability of the
votes Of Democratic Senators from wool
States.
IL has been plainly iniimated in the
dispatches from the Senate, and that

A KING FOR ALBANIA.

The determination Of the great
pendent nation Of Albania is reported
to have progressed to the point or Sc
lecting king for the new throne to
DO thus created. This new king is now
the Duke of Montpensier, SON OF that
Comte de Paris who aspircd unsuccess.
fully to the French throne. and who
served with credit and distinction Oh
General Mcclellan g staff in our Civil
War Tho Comte dc Paris was a ia,
vorite in American military circles, and
was popular with the American people.
His son is man of great wealth, hav-
ing inherited the French Bourbon
riches. The people over whom he win
rule arc divided in speech and religion,
but all are known under the general
term of AlbaDians. They are fighting
race, and have always been turbulent
and hard TO manage They have ever
been ready 10 fight the Sultan OF Tur-
kew when ne made any invasion of
what they claimed 70 be their rights.
and they were equally ready TO fight
for him in ease any one else made war
upon him, They were a strong factor
in the elevation OF the Young Turks to
power in ConstantinopIe, but the con.
quests Of Thrace and Macedonia by the
Balkan allies viii isolate them alto
gether from Turkey.
The new realm OF the new king will
be under the express patronage of the
great powers of Europe, and all will
be obligated not only TO seat the new
king on his throne, but to keep him
there, and to compel his subjects to
obedience.

THE MOST PROFITABLE TRUST.

II appears that the most profitable
trust OF all was overlooked by former
Attorney General Wickersham in his
supposed all-embracing warfare upon
the trusts This one that was over
looked was the Photographic trust,
which is reported as showing net
profits, after paying preferred divi-
dends of $13,629,1o5 the past year,
equal to 69,S1 per cent earned on $l9,-
$40, 800 common stock as compared
with $50 per cent earned on $l9,512,.
800 common stock outstanding the
previous year.
Here is trust that is surely worthy
OF the attention Of the Government,
but heretofore it has escaped that at
tentiou. The Photographic trust is
evidently most odious monopoly
and oppression, compelling the people
to pay rates that are eXorbitant and
that afford to the trust profits far in
excess of the profits of any other trust
and beyond all Justice or reason.

since the mining industry began il has
been sufficient for prospector to show
lode or vein in place, to designate his
discovery point, TO rum his lines and
stake off his corners, to record legally
his claim, and do the required develop
ment work of $500 in addition to what
assessment work may be due. and
thereupon ho has been entitled TO and
has been accorded a patent on the min
ing gronnd. But some two wears ago
the General Land Office made a ruling
that besides doing these things, which
comprise all that the law requires, the
prospector in addition must so develop
the lode or vein as TO show that il is
commercially profitable to work It is
n bureaucratic requirement only.
aud is not required by law. Still, tne
General Land Office was supported by
the Secretary of the Interior in that re.
quirement which is entirely outside Of
the law and is, in fact, legislation by
the General Land Office. supported by
the Interior Department. The ruling has
practically put the prospector out Of
business.
1t IS to be hoped that in the adjust.
ments Of tho new administration thOre
may be presented TO tho Commissioner
of the General Land Office and to the
Secretary Of the Interior the facts as
to this matter, so that they will be con-
vinced, as the fact is, that the require
ments of the land office made in addi
tion to requirements Of the law are in
fact legislation beyond tho rightful
power Of the land office to require,
and that these illegal requirements
ought to be set aside and the issue Of
patents for mining claims be put upon
the old and lawful basis.

DEATH OF MR.. BOYD Pack.

The announc cement Of the death of
Mr. Boyd Park was a severe shock to
this community Mr., Park was one of
the oldest and best known business men
in Salt Lake, always enterprising, al,
ways up to date, always in the van of
improvement and of solid work, He
was early known emphatically as "the
ieweler,' His establishment was the
oldest and for many years was the chief
in his line beyond all competition.
The qualities Of the man, his charac.
ter, his genius for friendship. and for
good service, were remarkable, and
made him famous throughout all the
mountain country. He was staunch, re,
liable, in every way a man Of mark,
and his ability always carried him to
the front.
Mr. Park was public-spirited citi.
zen, man who built solidly and we'll
in his business, and also in his personal
attachments and his friendships. That
he will be missed in a degree far above
the usual it is but justice to say. He
was eminent in his business, and as
an all-around man Of accomplishment,
enterprise, and progress he was unex-
celled.
The sympathics Of the community 60

his family that survive, and they are

possible to assuage that grief in so far
as human sympathy and consolation

is the talk in Washington, that the
bill as introduced is not the bill which
is expected to carry; but many OF the
PROVISIONS included are put there for
trading or compromise purposes, and
with a view of giving the Senate an
opportunity to make changes whereby
the interests Of the woolgrowers, the
sugar makers, aud the lead and zinc
men will be fairly considered.
1t is a plain case that the Democratic
Senators from the States that are
vitally interested in wool sugar, lead,
and zinc have the matter in their own
hands. and will be able TO force com
promises with respect TO the tariff on
these commodities that will protect the
interests involved, and correct me views
of the radicals.
