The legislature created the Office
of "bee inspector salary $4,000
per. This newspaper does not pre-
sumo to know what his duties are
possibly to see that there is not more
than four queens in hive, swarm,
stand gum or resort. We have not
heard of Mr.. Bee Inspector being in
Davis county. Perhaps he is some
what of drone himself. But the
$1,50O.O0 per. That's the main
thing. So, why worry? Bee inspect
ors, inspectors of weights and mea-
sures, pure food inspectors, meat
market inspectors, hotel inspectors,
county Office inspectors, town office
inspectors-how in the world did we
get along without these gentlemen
for so many years before a republic
can Legislature created these offices?
And say, old top, how did these gen
tlemen live without the salaries they
draw out of the pockets of the tax
payers?- Bloomfield Democrat

THE OPENING OF THE CANAL,

No noisy or spectacular ceremon-
les marked the opening of the Pan
anna Canal. 1t was a thoroughly
business-like proceeding, in keeping
with the way the great interoceanic
waterway has been pushed to COM
pletiOn.
Ancon left Colon, passed through the
locks and within ten hours entered
the waters of the Pacific at Panama.
Within twenty-four hours small
fleet of ships of commerce had made
the passage. For the formal cele-
bration, with it's splendid naval
pageant, we shall wait until next
spring.
To-day the canal lies open to all
the nations of the world upon equal
terms. The United States has acted
with entire good faith, and in the
observance of it's treaties discrimi-
mated against none and reserved no
exclusive rights to itself. Beyond
the collection of tolls, which are
uniform to ships of all flags, it has
assumed none of the privileges of
national ownership at the expense
of friends and rivals in trade. 1t has
achieved a moral triumph no less
impressive than the material victory
won by it's engineers over nature in
the piercing of the Isthmus.
All the money and skill and labor
and devotion to duty have been we'll
invested during the last ten years,
not merely because the transisthmian
canal is an accomplished fact, but
because on the day that it is opened
to traffic the United States can point
to the fact that in spite of tempta-
ton and selfish promptings it has
kept the letter and the spirit of it's
engagements with other. nations.

POOR ROOSEVELT!

Poor Roosevelt. He must be des-
perate indeed if he thinks he can
make political Roadway at this time
by his demagogic sneers at President
Wilson'S foreign policy.
Since the madness of military au-
tocracy plunged Europe into the
most staggering war of all history,
most Americans are profoundly
grateful that Woodrow Wilson is
President and that Theodore Roose-
welt is not With Mr. Wilson as
President everybody knows that the
United States can avoid being drawn
into this suicidal conflict. If Mr..
Roosevelt were President, the United
States would be sitting on a powder
barrel, waiting for the inevitable
spark In fact, Mr. Roosevelt is
about the last person in the country
whom any sane American would wish
to see in the Presidency in a crisis
like this, which calls for cool head
and steady nerves, common sense and
clear brain.
That Mr.. Roosevelt should have
ventured to assail Mr.. Wilson'S pa
triotism indicates clearly enough that
he has lost touch with popular sem
timent. He fails to appreciate the
tremendous change in public opinion
ser's declaration of war. The Amer
lean people were never less in q mood
for a big-stick bluff and buster, and
they never had lower opinion Of
.war-lord politics. New York World.

SHIPPING REFORM.

The new law admitting foreign
built ships to American registry is a
good emergency measure, and never
was designed or expected to be any
thing more. 1t permits the Ameri-
canization and use Of great many
ships now lying under foreign flags,
and removes few foolish restric-
lions on the manning of those ships
1t should prove of considerable help
in the new campaign for foreign
trade.
Much work remains to be- done be-
fore our merchant marine can take
it's proper place among the peace
navies of the earth The whole body
of navigation laws needs examina-
tion. Never before for generation
has public attention been focused on
the shipping problem. AS a conse-
quence of this neglect, hardly anyone
knows what laws on the subject are
now on the statute books, nor in what
respect they should be changed.
That their general effect is bad may
be held proved by the absence of our
national flag from the seas, but it
will require much study and debate
revision.
One fact, however, is already
clear. The monopoly in coastwise
trade now enjoyed by our home-bred
trusts muct be curbed or abolished,
if only for the sake of lessening the
power which those interests now
WELD in the senate. There would be
small profit in having driven the
tariff lobby from Washington if the
coastwise shipping lobby is allowed
to remain and expand.

ASSET CURRENCY INDICATES
ITSELF.

Asset currency has indicated itself
in the present war scare which
threatened the banking interests of
the country with a panic. I'VE APP
piled for SIS, 100000 currency under
the Aldrich-Vreeland BILL said
George M. Reynolds, of the largest
bank in the west. We have re-
ceived about S4,SO0,OO0. OF this We
used 100000 Immediately and
today we have no demand. When
our country friends thought currency
would be scarce and practically UNI
obtainable they all wanted some.
Now they can get it and they don't
want it,
That is the practical demonstra-
ton in the biggest bank in Chicago
of the true function of asset cur
rency as preached by the experts in
finance for thirty years When the
banks thought they couldn't get the
currency they all wanted some and
when they found that plenty of it
was available they didn't need any.
The country banker is no different
than his depositor When there is
doubt as to banks ability to pay
in currency the depositors run for
their money and when they find the
money piled high on the counters
with plenty for everybody they don't
want it.
Aldrich-Vreeland currency is moth
ing but bank note currency secured
by municipal, county, state and
school bonds and other approved
bills of responsible persons instead
of by national government bonds 1t
is taxed SO as to be used only in
emergencies. Had it not been avail
able this time there would have been
a bankers panic on in the United
States today and $25 in currency
would have been the most any one
man could get from any one bank
in one day. AS it is, the demand
for currency remains almost normal
amid war which has involved all
of Europe, closed stock exchanges,
and swept commerce temporarily
from the seas. At last the bankers
of this country have learned that the
experts in finance knew what they
were talking about when they de-
manded asset currency to relieve
crises in the banking business.
When the reserve association is at
work there will be asset currency
available whenever big crops and
business prosperity create unusual
demands for money and business
crises will be met and relieved as
the war crisis has been relieved, for
when the country banks can get all
the currency they need, they will
always find that they do not need it.

they would continue the old; system
of raising the millions now taken by
the government in taxes off swollen
incomes, by building up again the
high tariff wall, which would place
the burden upon the shoulders OF
the great consuming public.
Boiled down Senator Roots view
is that the Democratic administra-
ton should be censured for putting
any burden on the men of wealth in
the great industrial centers of the
east and using taxes collected from
them in building roads for the benefit
of the great producing classes of
the agricultural states. 1t is highly
probable that the Republican ma
tional committee in the press matter
it sends out to the west will not give
much prominence to the Root speech.
Congressman Maurice Connolly is
in Iowa for few days stay, taking
final steps in the organization of his
campaign for United States Senator.
Mr.. Connolly's stay will be so short
that he will be unable to comply
with many requests for speeches, but
when he returns to Iowa after ad-
journment, which is now expected to
come about September Is, he will
enter the fight with vigor, and will
then have the aid of many of the
leaders in Senate and House who
will stump the state in his behalf.
Whether the President will make
any speeches this fall in view of his
recent great bereavement has not
been decided. 1t has been definitely
stated however, that if he speaks any
place it will be in Iowa, as President
Wilson and his closest advisers be-
lieve that the Iowa Senatorial con-
as it is for Connolly, and the admin
istration feels inclined to force the
fighting.
President Wilson's administration
has been made the issue in the
Iowa Senatorial contest. Senator
Cummins has been President Will
sons most bitter opponent. His
election would be taken in Wash
ington as reputation of Wilson by
Iowa voters. AS Cummins has been
the opponent of the President at
every step it is pointed out here that
any support of his course is con-
demnation of the Presidents. Con-
gresham Connolly. on the other
hand, has held up the presidents
hands IN all legislative matters, has
the warmest personal friendship of
the President, Secretary Bryan and
other administration leaders, and is
in this fight as the representative of
the administration. His candidacy
gives Iowa an opportunity to give

NO BETTER CAMPAIGN ISSUE.

President Wilson's efforts peace
fully to solve the Mexican problem
will be made the keynote of the
Democratic congressional campaign.
The veriest amateur in politics will
appreciate the value of this strategic
! move. The war craze has taught us
something of what a Mexican war
would have meant in this time OF
stress.
Strange how events upset the
plans Of political commanders! Six
| ty days ago apologies for the ad-
ministration policies in Mexico were
not wholly lacking even among the
Democrats, Admirers of President
| Wilson could be found who would
admit that the Mexican problem S
handling was the one thing the Presi-
dent might have to live down."
Huerta had not saluted and was still
in power while Funston waited at
Vera Cruz and Carranza and Villa
bickered in the North.
Then came the unanswerable logic
of events. Huerta disappears and
the City of Mexico is occupied by the
rebels without single American
regiment moving from Vera Cruz.
The counter-revolution that was to
blaze up following the occupation
failed to materialize. The judgment
of the President and the administra-
ton advisers has been more than
indicated There has been no in
PREVENTION, no war The steady
pressure of the ''watchful waiting"
policy has done the work that battle
ships and army corps could not have
accomplished and there are no
wounds to heal
The Democrats could have chosen
no better campaign issue for the con-
greSsional struggles of this fall The
President has won a great victory,
and all the carefully gathered Repub-
lican ammunition to be used in as
sailing the Mexican policy has been
rendered worse than useless. 1t will
be ridiculously easy to contrast Presi-
dent Wilson's peaceful solution of
the difficulty with the faulty with
which European rulers drifted into
CONFERENCE.-THE war.
With America shuddering over the
European prospect of war and the
possibility of the Old World being
plunged into return of barbarism,
this is an opportune time to drive
home to Americans the tremendous
services of President Wilson and his
administration in the prevention of
war. We can now see what we have
avoided and we know to whom we
are indebted.

Fighter Arrested After
Fatal Knockout Blow

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-John Lundgren,
opponent of John LevendowslSi, who
was killed in a boxing bout between
the pair at Tolleston, Ind, last night,
was arrested here today.
ut must have been heart trouble,
as we had scarcely begun to mix
things when ] knocked him out" said
Lundgren, who left Tolleston before
the fatal termination of the fight was
known to him.
The fatality occurred at the start
of the second round of a contest
staged at Tolleston, near Gary, Ind,
last night. LevendOwski was knocked
through the ropes by blow to the
stomach. Ringside spectators pushed
him back into the ring, where he COL
lapsed. Physicians said his death was
caused by internal injuries.
Morris Champagne referee, and
Porter Mayhem, owner of the hall in
which the contest was staged, were
arrested.
The dead boxer. who lived in Michi-
gan CITY, Ind, was nineteen years old.
