WILSON WANTS PRoGREssIvEs.

Prcsidcnt-elcct Wilson. in his talk TO
the Presidential electors of New Jersey
on Monday. made plain that he in
tends TO preempt and occupy the
progressive field. He will surround him
self, as President. with procressives,
and only progressive5. Tho reaction
aries will be retired to the rear. and
the Wilson administration will be made
progressive administration.
This takes the wind out Of Col. Roose-
welt s sails completely, for the Colonel
insists that all the progressives must
be with him. But if President elect
Wilson is 10 make his administration
distinctly progressive administration,
there will be none left to 20 to Col.
Roosevelt on his demand that all
progressives, Democrats as well as Re
publicans, should 90 to the Progressive
party.
Mr.. Wilson'S positive declaration on
this point will be welcomed by the
country, as the first clear note that he
has sounded in any direction since his
election. He has talked generally about
matters, but now he comes down
specifically TO the point Of progressive
ness, and says that this will be the
keynote of his administration.
Naturally. then. his Cabinet will be
composed of progressives, and so far
as he can control, tho action Of Con-
gress viii be progressive. and the
country will presently see precisely
what progression Of the Wilson stamp
means. If it means the same as Col
Bryan would make it mean, then such
Democrats as Senator Martin Of Vir
ginia, Underwood Of Alabama, and SEN
ator Hoke Smith OF Georgia. will be re-
tired to the rear. This. however. is not
to be expected. And so, while Presi-
dent elect Wilson declares emphatically
for progress. and says that he will
make his a progressive administration.
there remains to be seen what he means
by progress and progression. AS to
this we shall have to wait patiently to
see how he will make up his Cabinet.
and who will be his favorite advisers.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

| Governor Spry's message to the
Tenth Legislature of the State OF Utah
is very long and much numbered with
dull routine. The Governor chcws over
again the defect of the Constitutional
amendments much as if ho were more
earnestly concerned than has been sup
posed 10 obtain more money for the
feat OF those amendments, and points
out some OF the inequalities Of tax
alton; but those inequalities arc appar-
ent enough TO anybody and everybody
There * no question at all about them.
The trouble is in trying TO cure them
by building on An insecure foundation
with rotten materials. What is wanted
lis complete Constitutional revision of
our taxing system. The amendments
hitherto adopted TO Utah s constitution
croasing taxes, aud the people got tired.
OF that sort Of work The most
fagrant instance Of this increase in
taxation was the one which the people
unwarily adopted continuing the eight.
mill tax limit above the $200,000,000
assessed valuation as fixed in tho orig.
inal Constitution. The amendment
continued that eight mill tax up to
$400, 100000, thus allowing immensely
increased taxation by the State above
what the original Constitution provided
for The people realized too late what
they had done. it will be useless to
urge further amendments in this line,
because such,a amendments heretofore
have generally been bad, aud costly to
the taxpayers.
The GoYernor s message approves Of
all the State officers, of their reports,
of the State administration as whole,
and everything is comfortable and
happy, except only the defeat of the
TO get more taxes out OF
the people.
In the mass Of words carried in this
message there is little indeed worthy
of special notice The Governor recon-
mends that the death penalty be in
dicted by electrocution in place OF by
hanging or shooting, as the law allows
at present. He recommends also the
adoption Of the segregation and ster-
lization measures carried in the report
IF the superintendent of the State
Mental Hospital These measures have
been very largely approved through
out the country, and undoubtedly the |
population would be bettered by their |
adoption.
AS a whole, the message is red
ape document, is extremely tedious,
and it would seem as though proper
editing ought to have reduced its. bulk

recommendations would
not have been amiss; they might at
least have vitalized spot once in 4

THE MUNSEY PROPOSITION

We have from Mr.. Frank A Munsev
a marked copv of his newspaper set
ting forth in full his proposition for
the amalgamation OF the Republican
with the Progressive party. The propo-
sition of Mr.. Munsey is generally de-
scribed as a "holding company" into
which he would merge the assets of
the two parties named, and this party
would be called the Liberal party. His
proposition, then, amounts to the aban-
donment Of the name Progressive
by the Roosevelt party and of the name
" Republican" by the Republican party,
Republicans Of all shades of opinion
to get together as ffLiberals.
We have not seen any welcome e1.
tended to this proposition from any
quarter Mr., Munsey was a very ear
nest and effective supporter of Col :.
Roosevelt in the recent Presidential
campaign, and yet Roosevelt denounces
the Munsey proposition without re-
serve. The Colonel declares that the
Progressive party must press On as it
has been doing, without change. and
ne announces that "we welcome all
honest men who believe in our princi-
piles, which seems to be a concession I;
for it admits that there may be honest
men who do not believe in "our prin-
ciples." He revives again in this con-
nection the silly old nonsense that he
has been harping upon all the time.
that the Chicago convention represented
theft and fraud; this merely because
he was not nominated by that con-
vcntion. He was entirely willing to
appear there and submit his claims to
that conventions; the first sign of re-
volt that he Showed was when he found
that the convention would not give him
the nomination 1t has been abundant
" shown that even if he had obtained
all the votes which he had even the
slightest reason to claim. he conld not
have obtained the nomination: so what
sense is there in this clamorinq about
theft and fraud at this late day. when
the allegation OF theft and fraud has
been so fully disproved'
Col. Roosevelt declares that he firmly
believes all good Progressives who NAV
happen vet TO adhere to the Repu olican
party or TO the Democratic party will
in the end see that the chances for
honest government and for the prac.
teal achievement for social and indus

IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS.

There are some immigration prob
lens in concrete form that the officials
at the port of New York are wrestling
Castro, former dictator of Venezuela.
Castro has taken his case into the Fed
eral Court, holding that under the i'm
migration laws of this country he is
entitled to land. The courts dealing
with his case will undoubtedly settle
that question, though prima facie it
would seem that there is no real ground
to refuse Castro admission to the United
States.
Another case is that Of Edward F.
Mylius, who is prevented from landing
perhaps at the request Of the British
Government, because Mylius "libeled
King George Of England" by claiming
that he was already legally married
before he married Queen Mary. Mylius
was prosecuted on the charge of libel,
found guilty, and punished. He has,
therefore. answered to the law of Great
Britain for his offense. and the only
reason for his detention appears TO he
that he is. San undesirable. - in that he
has criminal record. the eriminaIity
being in the criminal libel as found in
tho British courts, and the punishment
Of him on account of 1T. But is that
sort of crlminality really criminal9 Nv
lius may have believed fully in the
truth of the statement that he made:
as a matter of fact. the statement NAV
be correct; and the courts of Great
Britain may have punished him for
- making the hbel,' because the truth
of his statement would be so disastrous
that it could not possibly be admitted
officially in any branch of the British
Government.
To the aid OF Mr.. Mylius comes Ed.
ward r.. James, editor of the Paris
Liberstor. which printed Mylius's story
about King George having been married
to a daughter Of Admiral Culme-Sey-
mour before he married Queen Mary.
Mr.. James also was about to be held up.
but he showed that he was an American
citizen, not a Socialist or an Anarchist.
ever in the Mylius story. Mr.. James
explained the case bv saying: "The
article which I wrote in the Liberator
was clearly seditious under the law. The
English court held that the case was one
between one private citizen and an
other. 1t could not be a case between
one private citizen and another, because
the King is above the law. The Eng.
lsh King cannot be libeled. How then
can Myths be excluded from this coun.
try, for Mylius g act was seditious. and
sedition is political offense. The
English punished him, and now it does
not seem lust that America should
punish him, too
Mr.. Jsmes's reasoning on this ao-
pears to be sound. and the probability
is that Mr.. Mylius will obtain entrance

GET STARTED WITH ALFALFA
When Land Is First Inoculated Many
OF Smaller Plants May Have but
Few Bacteria at Work.

It is interesting to examine young
alfalfa plants and note how quickly
they obtain the benefit of nitrogen
gathering bacteria. Plants less than
four weeks old may have two or three
nodules on a single root and have a
countless number of bacteria furnish
ing nitrogen from the air
When land is first inoculated by the
use of soil from an old field one may
find much unevenness in the size of
plants at an early age, due to the fact
that the taller plants are getting an
abundance OF nitrogen, while the
smaller plants have few or no BAG
terra at work for them. 1t is for this
reason that a second seeding ON land
that has. been made to grow alfalfa
successfully is much surer than a first
seeding.

POOR MANAGEMENT in FEEDS
Bad Practice to Withhold Grain From
Heavy Horses Animals Left In
Bad State for Winter.

There is not suncommonly woeful
bad management in feeding heavy
horses; others, too, for that matter.
1T is too much the practice at the sea-
son when green stuff comes in to with-
hold large portion of the grain.
OF course, the idle horse will put on
flesh of sort much faster on green
STUFF than il fed on hay in the stable,
but the condition becomes of SO soft
a nature as to be little suited where
daily toll is required or hard flesh
and muscles are absolutely essential
there.
Later in the summer, when herb
age natures and holds no excess of
sap. the case is rather different, but
even then to withhold the grain to
any great extent is bad policy, and
is sure to tell against the horse soon-
er or later sooner in the way Of per-
spring and weakened state. and later
in but poor state against winter.

Treatment for scours.

Indigestion and securing in calves
are sometimes caused by milk that is
excessively rich. MIX that is mod
crate or low in butterfat is usually
better for young calves. while indi-
gestion in older calves is usually due
to unclean milk. unclean vessels, close
confinement in dark. insanitary stalls.
and irregular or excessive feeding.
In some cases it appears to be due
mainly to sheer weakness and inabil-
fly to digest, and for calf cholera or
white scours try the formalin treat
ment. Add one-half ounce liquid
formalin to fifteen and one-half
ounces Of water.
Reduce the milk ration at least one
half, and add one ounce of the diluted
formalin to each pint Of milk.
