Eight of tie strongest of the ANA
teur baseball teams are battling for
supremacy today on the various
sandlots, offering to the fans the
best card of the season. There have
been other days, of course, when the
teams happened to frame up for good
contests.
Today, however, with Cornell and
the Bankers playing, the Aggies and
Interior trying to get that tie in the
departmental settled, Petworth and

favor of Interior when Murphy diff

foul line. Hughes pulled his watch

THE FAIR Is WORTH WHILE.

The attractions of the State Fail

who miss seeing them, miss what i:
well worth their while to visit.
The new coliseum is we'll planned

| pleasing feature of the Fair grounds
| The arrangement enables the visitors tc

than formerly, when the animals were
boxed up in stalls and practically in.
visible.
The Agricultural College exhibit is
fine, with many new features.
The mineral exhibit is. much as here
tofore. but always attractive.
The general exhibits of various kinds
are all good and particularly dis
tinguished by ingenious designs.
The new feature, the County
Queens and Maids of Honor, form an
attraction that is extremely popular.
The fruit exhibit is the best ever
seen in the State. The removal of
everything else from the large build
ing where the fruit is shown offers op.
portunities. unprecedented heretofore,
to set forth that fruit to the best ad-
vantage. In this building also are the
county exhibits, all showing well, but
with Box Elder supreme. As to the
quality, variety, and all around fine
ness Of these fruit exhibits, Mr.. G. j.
Sinsel Of Idaho, one Of the judges,
says that language Is inadequate to ex-
press all the fine things that he would
like to say about this exhibit Of Utah
fruit; that he has judged fruit ex-
hibits in many States, and his opinion
is that. Utah has nothing to fear in
competition in fruit with any State;
and Mr.. Sinsel Is well known as
an expert judge and is from State
that excels gloriously itself in fruit
raising; so that the praise from Mr..
Sinsel is ''praise from Sir HUBERT
The stock exhibit is very fine, and
the races justly attract thousands Of
onlookers.
Altogether the Fair is much better
than ever before, in its taking on of

We advise everyone to make it a
point to go to the Fair, assuring them
that their time will be we'll spent and

pledged, and to do 1t in such way as
it finds practical.
The Grst.named method is perilous,
especially where the Democratic ma
jority is so small as it is in tho Son
ate.
The second method is sure, although
arbitrary and shutting out the minority
from its rightfnl participation in fran
ing and reporting legislation.
The practical method is the method
that Speaker Clark so triumphnntly
advocated, and, from partisan stand
point, there is much force in what he
says. But in saying it, he entirely re-
verses himself now as compared with
the complaints which he made on pre-
cisely this same question, and on the
same grounds, when the Democrats
were In the minority of the House.
AS a question of advantage or dis.
advantage, there can be no doubt but
that the practical method adopted by
the Democratic leaders is the method
that presents to the party the ad-
vantageous means whereby it may be
possible for it to carry out the terms
OF the platform it has adopted. and the
programme which its leaders have de-
vised, while the fair method had to be
summed as impractical on party lines
and in party tactics.

ACKNOWLEDGES THE CORN.

The Smoot organ has an idea that the
Democrats in this State are making a
great mistake when they suggest that
| they will try to Gust the Federal bunch
of Utah because of the 'pernicous &C.
tivity" Of that bunch IN politics. The
organ points out the logical conclusion,
that if the present Federal bunch is
ousted for "pernicious political activi-
ty,' it will necessarily follow that the
successors Of that bunch would have to
keep out Of politics or else be hoist
by their own petard.
The logic of this is not in the least
weakened by the confession which it
necessarily implies that the Federal
bunch has been guilty of "pernicious
political activity" in this State. This
confession, Of course, the organ had to
make in forcing its point, for without
that confession the point could not be
made. 1t Is confession long overdue,
Of notorious and scandalous fact.
We are, therefore, confronted with the
clear confession of the Smoot organ that
the Federal bunch has been guilty as
charged; and it insists that if their sue
cessors prove equally guilty they will
also necessarily have to be removed on
the same ground; which is also satisfac-
tory so far as the logic of it goes. This,
however, loses sight of the probability
that a friendly administration will exist
during the time that the Democrats
would succeed the present Federal
bunch in office.
At any rate, we have no doubt that
the Democratic applicants for Federal
positions are willing to take their
chances on this situation, and to bear
whatever discipline the logic Of it may
enforce upon them after they have been
in office for time; provided there
should be any punishment at all coming
to them.
But Of all the weak, shifty, silly
mean"spirited attempts to dodge the in
evitable, we think that the outgiving of
the Smoot organ on this subject yester-
day morning was about the limit.

THAT ROOSEVELT FORECAST.

It is idle to argue much on the propo.
sition sprung by Senator Sutherland
and others that Colonel Roosevelt might
be the Republican nominee for Presi-
dent in 1916. But it is theme that
seems to fascinate the country, and
there is an evident disposition among
some Republicans who desire office.
prominence, and control more than they
love principle, to bend their necks to
the yoke Of the Roosevelt absolutism,
if only he will take command Of the
party and lead it to victory. But as
an Eastern contemporary says "RePub-
licans who look longingly at T. Roose-
welt as candidate in 1916 might as
well remember two things-that they
can only get the Rough Rider by enlist.
ing in his regiment, and that while he
has enthusiastic friends he has relent
less enemies, and he has more Of them
than he had before the last Presidential
campaign. Common sense would sug-
gest to the Republicans that they should
get candidate who was not too deeply
involved in last year Kilkenny cat
fight
We Judge that this is the cruX Of the
whole question. We do not believe that
Colonel Roosevelt would make the cam
paign for the Republican nomination.
In view Of his persistence in proclaim
ing and insisting upon the villainy of
Republicans, individually and collec-
lively. it would be a shocking 1et-down
for him to make the campaign for Re.
publican party preference in 1916.
1t is also true that Roosevelt is much
weaker before the country now than
he was last year; for there was feel
ing among multitudes of Republicans
a wrong feeling to be sure, but still per
sistent and keen-that Colonel Roose-
welt had been wrongfully deprived of
the Republican nomination in Chicago
last year. That idea gained him hun
dreds of thousands Of votes. But these
votes would not remain with him as the
candidate, and the straight
who voted for Taft last
year certainly must hold Roosevelt in
such utter and universal detestation
that rather than see him elected they
would vote for the Democratic candi-
date, or throw away their votes to some
side party. Our opinion is that the idea
of Colonel Roosevelt as a Republican
candidate next year is absolutely fan
tosfic

HAZING AT WEST POINT.

During the last years of President
Taft s administration there was more OF
less shillyshallying about the discipline
at the West Point military academy.
| The order against haZing there had been
peremptory, but cadets who were put
under discipline by reason of their vio-
| ation of that order, could by activity
in writing themselves and getting their
| fathers to write to the Congressman Of
their district and bringing pressure to
bear on the War Department, secure
mitigation and in some eases absolute
release from the penalty which the mill
tary authorities at the Academy had
imposed.
There appears to be different dispo-
sition now in the War Department with
respect to cases of that kind. Eighteen
cadets were recently found guilty of vio-
latipg the regulations against hazing,
and punishment was awarded them by
the superintendent of the West Point
academy, These cadets wrote to their
parents and the parents complained to
their Congressional Representatives, and
the Congressional Representatives went
to the War Department with pleas for
mitigation and applications to let the
young men off this time fand they
would never do so any more" Secre-
tary Garrison was importuned, as his
predecessor had been importuned before
him, in behalf of the cadets But Secre-
tary Garrison took occasion to lay down
the rule that discipline must be en-
forced at West Point, and that there
must be no appeal, lie charged the ap-
pellants with lack of manliness and the
virile quality of "taking their medi-
cine' when their own offense brought
on the ailment. He then approved the
penalty imposed by those empowered to
administer discipline for the punishment
Of haziug, and stated that the guilty ca
dets need look for no modification Of
such punishment as might be inflicted
There can be no two opinions about
the necessity and the propriety Of this
action by Secretary Garrison He is to
be cmphatically commended for il, on
every account. The young men who vio-
lated the law and regulations did so
with open eyes, well knowing that they
were making themselves subject to the
punishment awarded 10 them. OF course
they counted upon interference by the
opportunities of their parents and their
