REBUILT SAN FRANCISCO

When the city Of San Francisco was
destroyed by earthquake and fire in
April, 1906, that metropolis faced its
future with a courageous heart. The
records having been destroyed, the
city began its building series with
number one. And now that the series
has shown constructional value of
S400, 900 since the fire, which tai
lies with the estimate of loss in that
great disaster, the high courage with
which San francisco undertook the
work OF reconstruction is amply and
richly vindicated- Many insurance com
panies did not pay their liza bilities, but
the city took hold of its RECONSTRUCT
tion with vigor and a persistent
earnestness that has made it a greater
city than ever before. The new city
is a wonder, and the admiration of
every one who sees it. The greatness
Of the old city has been eclipsed by the
new, and the courage and enterprise
shown in this tremendous upbuilding
work has given San Francisco greater
other cities have grown tremendously,
especially Seattle, Portland, and Los
Angeles. Yet San Francisco still re-
tains its supremacy on our Pacific
shore. The commerce Of the new San
Francisco eclipses that Of the old, as
tie new construction eclipses that
which was destroyed. The old historic
landmarks have gone forever. but new
landmarks have been established that
will be more enduring and more promi-
nent than the old
Two years hence the great Panama
Canal Exposition will be in full display,
By that time San Francisco will be a
city reaching out towards the million
mark, and it can celebrate its complete
reconstruction with grander and
newer architecture and with the
heightening Of hopes and broadening
Of commercial interests that will keep
the great city on the bay in its posi-
tion of supremacy for all time to come

McREYNoLDs CAUGHT AGAIN.

The futility of arguments in defense
of Attorney General McReynolds in the
California "white slave" case, is ad-
mitted even by the friends of the ad-
ministration. The two main errors of
Judgment on his part have been
"fraugbt with embarrassment to the
administration, as the Louisville Cour~
ier Journal, the great Democratic or
gan, says, and its editor admits that
there is weight to the logic which leads
to the prediction that the Attorney
Generalsbip will be first vacancy in the
Cabinet.
Mr.. Bryan s defense of the Attorney
General is so very pitiful that one is
surprised at his making any defense at
all since nothing better can be said.
The idea that under all the circum-
stances Of these cases a continuance
should be granted, considering it mere

parture from the true position. that

that can be charged against any man,

General keeps right on laundering.
Some time ago he wrote letter aG-
vocating the abolishjng Of the Com
merce Court, and it was understood
that he was at the back Of the move
made in the House by Southern Rep
resentative to shut off the appropria,
tions for that court. But, unfortunate
ly for him in this position, President
Wilson is found to be in favor Of re-
tanning that court; and when Attorney.
General McReynolds asccrtained this
position Of the President, he announced
that he also was in favor Of continuing
the Commerce Court. Then his former
letter advocating its adjustment was
produced to his confusion.
1t seems to be a reasonably clear case
that Colonel Watterson S admission
that there is logic in the forecast that
Attorney-General McReynolds will be
the first Cabinet officer in the admins
tration TO go. is something to which
all must agree.

THE BIG CONVENTION TODAY.

The official general session Of the Ma
tional Education Association will begin
in this city this morning. The National
Council Of Education held its prclini-
nary meetings on Saturday. the Sunday
pulpits discussed the convention, the
teachers, and the cause Of education,
and now the big general sessions will
begin.
The city is full Of teachers, the esti-
mate being that there are fully 5000
in the city. The high standing of these
visitors is attested by the fact that
they are members of the Association,
accredited teachers in the various To-
calities in the United States. No high
er credentials than the fact of this
membership and Of the actual work in
which these teachers are engaged, could
be demanded Of any class Of the cit
izenship Of the United States. They
are in their own persons the full ac.
creditors Of themselves. since if they
were not OF the very highest standard,
they could not possibly hold the posi-
tions which they do as teachers to the
youth OF this country, guides, exemp.
lars, and mentors to all the growing
generation of what the highest stand
ard of citizenship should be. Men and
women who are entrusted with this
high calling are to be accepted, with
ont further inquiry, as the best that
we have in American manhood and
womanhood,
AS such Salt Lake City accepts them.
and extends to them cordial welcom-
ing hand, assuring them that this hos
pitality is unstinted and notifying
them that if there is anything that it
can do, in addition to what has been
done. it stands ready to do whatever
is desired
The teachers are today launched
upon their great annual work of con-
ferring with each other and seeing
what is best to be done for the work
of the ensuing school year. If in any
degree, or in any respect, there has
been failure in the educational work in
any part of the Republic, or if it is
seen that improvements can be made,
this is the time and in this convention
is the place for the discussion and set
tlement Of all questions of that sort
The election of officers will also be an
important function of the convention,
and good deal of interest is aroused
and eager canvassing is already going
on IN the interest of the various candi-
dates for the several Offices to be filed
The place where the next convention
is to be held will also be an important
matter to be settled Altogether, it
will be an extremely busy week for the
teachers. and the city will rejoice to
have them with US as long as possible.
and to give them the pleasantest posi-
bic experiences during their stay in
Salt Lake, so that their remembrances
OF the time spent here will be q bright
memory as long as they may live.

Hard Soils

Often different kinds of soils are
found upon the same farm and the best
results can not be obtained. SO far as
crop returns are concerned. by uni
form method of cultivation and irriga-
ton. The soil that is hard and diff
cult to work should receive most care
full attention, not only from the stand
point of cultivation, but also in the
method of irrigation.
1t is not always profitable to at
tempt a perennial crop upon soil that
is hard to work and irrigate-the
yield is usually low, due to the resist
ance to root development and scare
ity of plant food; also to the shallow
depth of the irrigation which in turn
causes the root system to develop
near the surface and make the crop
more susceptible to drought.
Deep plowing with a liberal ap-
plication of manure or straw, will be
found beneficial The decay of the

ment will be more complete and the
crop will stand drought better.
The cultivation of sugar beets upon

bring the field eventually into proper
tilth. Furrow irrigation will not allow
the soil to bake; deep cultivation of
the crop will be found beneficial; the
tap root of the beet will have ten
dency to open up the soil below the
plow sole; the decayed tap root after
harvest will leave the lower soil more
or less porous. and hence increase the
capacity of the soil for the storage of
moisture.

WANTS LESS POLITICS; MORE
GOVERNMENT FOR MEXICO

| Less politics and more administra-
tion," the watchword of Porfirio Diaz.
has become the slogan of the new
Huerta government. In the days of
Porfirio Diaz cabinet ministers, heads
of departments and official incumbents
generally, if they had opinions contra
ry to government policy, d,screetly
kept them to themselves. With the
advent of Madero the pent-up flood of
political expression deluged the coun-
try. Political orators went to ex.
tremes in airing their views. From
platforms throughout the republic the
acts of the administration were criti.
cised to the point of vilification. Ad.
ministrative affairs were allowed to
suffer.
Pres. Huerts, in his first public
utterances, made it plain that his pol
icies were to be of a different order
To a group of newspaper men, whom
he summoned to the palace, he ex.
pressed his appreciation of free press
but intimated to them that their eff
forts should be directed along lines
of aiding in re-establishment of peace,
rather than toward hunting out diff
culties with which to confront the ad-
ministration.
In a word" he cautioned them,
abandon for the moment political
questions and give preference to those
of administration
q am convinced" he added, that
it is not wise in the present moment
of our national life for you to occupy
yourselves with affairs purely politi-
cal, but rather with those matters
which have a bearing on the pacifica-
tion of the country
Caricaturists also will ply their art
with more circumspection. With the
person of Madero they were accustom-
ed to take every liberty. and were per
mitted to do so. Before president
Huerta had been in office two weeks
he sent for the editor of one of the
best known comic weeklies of the cap
ital. Calling his attention to carl
cature of himself, the president said
to the editor:
Il don't like that. | wish you
wouldn't print my picture that way"
But, Mr.. President, -
well, that's all. l don't want you
to print these caricatures because
Well, don't. Goodbye"
The editor departed. and it is safe
to say that he will think twice be-
fore repeating the offense.
