than the sleeping bomb, developed in
Germany. The following dispatch
speaks for itself:

FRENCH PATRIOTISM.

The French people are nothing If not
intensely patriotic The country needed
an aerial war feet to keep pace with
Germany. Forthwith public subscrip.
tion was started and at fetc OF the
Sarbounc Sunday il was announced that
Sl,9O0,000 had been subscribed for the
purpose. This fund will enable the
committee to present 210 aeroplsnes to
the army, pay for the training OF
seventy-hve expert pilots, and erect
military aeroplane sheds at ports of
call. The French nation is staggering
under an enormous military budget, and
some voices have been raised IN pro
test 1T would seem however, that in
addition to paying taxes patriotic
Freuchmen are willing TO 90 down into
their pockets for additional money to
aid in preparing for the war which
they all believe must come sooner or
later.
Tho aeroplanc in war is an almost un-
known possibility. The United States,
as well as other nations, is experiment.

taking tho lead, and great credit will
attach TO the citizens who subscribed

if the experiment proves a success.

FEWER MEAT ANIMALS.

The future meat supply of the United
States is beginning TO become source
of worry to the agricultural depart
ment. While the population of the coun-
Try is rapidly increasing, the number OF
cattle, sheep and swine has been de-
crcasing since 1910. The fact that ow.
ing 10 the prevailing high prices the
value Of the cattle in the country has
increased in spite of the reduced num-
her is held by the department not to
have benefited the producer because
the cost Of production is also much
higher.
The causes assigned for the scarcity
of meat animals arc many. In the irst
place, for several years the farms have
been eucroacbing upon range territory
Secondly. the industry suffers from lack
OF a proper rangc-leasing law. Ther

SMOKE ORDINANCE.

We wish to urge again upon the city
commissioners tho earnest consideration
of the smoke ordinance introduced by
Governor Wells last week. We believe
the enactment of this ordinance would
tcnd TO better conditions in tho city
and that. at the least, step in the
right direction would be made by It's
passage.
II has been suggested that the pas
sage of this ordinance would involve
a reflection on Fire Chief Bywater, who
has been, by virtue Of the present
smoke ordinance, ex oficio smoke IN
spector. We believe this is totally
erroneous view. Fire Chief Bywater
has in the protection of tho city from
fire an ample field for the energies oil
any man. That Mr.. Bywater is salts
factory fire chief and is fulfilling the
duties Of his Office to the satisfaction
Of the public is greatly TO his credit,
but this fact does not justify imposing
upou him other duties entirely dlsso-
ciated from the protection Of the city
from fire.
The suggestion that this ordinance IS
in any sense a reflection on Mr.. By
water seems almost TOO ridiculous for
consideration. Mr. Bywater is an ad-
mrablo fire chief, and is too valuable
10 the city in that capacity to have mis-
time aud energies divided

BONNEVILLE CLUB.

WRECK OF THE WABASH.

The inevitable has happened to the
Wabash Railroad Company. The road
has been ordered sold as a preliminary
step toward reorganization, the upset
price being fixed at $34, 100000 by the
court The final catastrophe to the
road is probably due to the attempt of
the management to reach the Atlantic
seaboard and TO secure a portion of
the immense tonnage originating in
Pittsburg and western Pennsylvania,
These projects cost millions of money,
and ended in failure.
The finances of the Wabash have
been IN deplorable condition for many
years; legal battles have occurred over
the control Of the property and the
roadbed and equipment have been al
lowed TO deteriorate. Although travers-
ing the richest section Of the country,
the road has failed TO earn enough to
pay dividends and the interest on its
enormous bonded Indebtedness, Now it
is to he sold under the hammer.
Like the New Haven and the Frisco
roads, the Wabash has been ruined by
those in control, men who live in the
atmosphere OF stocks and bonds, but
who care nothing for the practical side
of railroading, even though some OF
| them are supposed to know all about
such matters. In the case Of the Frisco
it is probable the members of the board
of directors who profited by the opera
tions which brought about the receiver
ship will be forced to disgorge their
ill-gotten gains. There is nothing in
sight, however, for the stockholders OF
the Wabash. The receivership failed
to accomplish the impossible, and fnis
is about to be written.
There are signs of regeneration in
the railroad world, the proposed re-
organization Of the Rock Island system
being evidence of the disposition OF
those in control 10 conform to the rules
about to be laid down by Congress

comes tho shortage in the corn and
forage crop in Kansas, Nebraska, and
Oklahoma Increased value OF land
and higher cost of labor and stock
feed; decline in stock raising on the
farms in the East and South because of
moor marketing facilities; the tempta-
ton to sell stock at the prevailing high
prices, and the enormous losses from
hor cholera are also pointed out by the
experts rs having becn important fac
tors in bringing about the present situa-
ton.
In common with the other Western
States, Utah is vitally interested in all
that pertains to the raising and mar
kcting Of sheep and cattle If tho
present range leasing law IS unsatis'
factory and dctriment to the raising
Of meat animals, and there seems TO be
little doubt about the matter, it should
be repealed al once and y more just and
equitable arrangement made. The wool
growers convention in Salt Lake and
the livestock growers convention at
Denver recently discussed this very
matter, and committees were appointed
TO put the facts and figures before the
proper authorities, Now that tho dc
partmcnt Of agriculture has ncknowl-
edged that the leasing law is lame tho
present would seem to he tho proper
time for the curing of the defects.
Undoubtedly the new tariff law Will
not encourage the raising Of cattle and
sheep in the future, but free trade IN
the last few months does not account
for the decreased production which has
been going on since 1910. 1t would
have been much better for the West In
the long run, however, had moderate
counsels prevailed when the Underwood
bill was drawn. Even ID per cent ad
valorem rate on wool would have stlmu-
lated the sheep-raising industry al the
present time and tended to bring about
an increase in the hocks.
II the Secretary Of Agriculture has
any remedy TO propose in addition to
amending the grazing law, which, al
though of prime importance, will not
suffice TO restore normal conditions, he
should lose no time in taking the public
into his confidence.

GEMS FOR VILLA.

As General Villa becomes better
known he grows more interesting and
amusing For several weeks he has been
in falkative mood. One moment he
tossos bouquet at the United States or
President Wilson. at another moment
he declares that he is deeply engaged
in reading book on the rules Of war
lent him by an American officer, and
later he announces that he viii abide
by the instructions Of tho book and
kill no more Federal officers, unless
they prove treacherous.
A correspondent called on Villa in
Juarez the other day for An interview.
This man, who had risen from most
proficient bandit to an equally pro-
6cient general, was just then feeling a
rush of patriotism and loyalty to the
cerebellum.
"I have no political ambitions, he
said. CT am willing. to take second
place 10 Carranza, and would not be

Office ! have never had any personal
ambition. I am a fighting man only,
and 7 am fighting for the liberation of
my count$v, not TO elevate myself. If
CarranZa becomes President and tells
me 10 get out OF the country [ will do
so Instantly.
Tho correspondent relates that he
talked with Villa in pIastered adobe
hut. On the floor in the front room
where Villa stood were sixteen bags
each containing 10000 Mexican dollars
and on the window sill were half a
dozen newly purchased diamond rings
coin was purchased from the banks in
El Paso for use in Chihuahua, whore sill.
yer has been scarce, and the diamond
rings We're presents from the various
rebel commanders.
Evidently the rebel commanders are
doing a nice business. They pick the
diamond rings from the mamma trees
and hand some over TO their chief, re-
serving, no doubt, few for themselves
Villa is willing to take second place in
the government because as second in
command of the army he has found
diamond rings and bags Of silver grow
ing abuudantly from Juarez to Chi
huahua. Undoubtedly the graft will be
as good for the second in command as
for the first in command, maybe better
The desire for money among both
rebels and foderals appears TO be
stronger than any other feeling. Car
rama, it is said, is rich. and therefore
can spend more time cherishing
patriotic and constitutional sentiments

Armed Intervention Is
Coming, Says Penrose

Philadelphia, April 13.-Armed in
tervention by the United States was
held up yesterday by Senator Penrose
as the outcome of the present situation
in Mexico, the inevitable solution OF
the problem, unless this government
changed its policy and takes steps to
change conditions to suit the situa-
ton. In an address, delivered in the
Whitehall Baptist Church, Tacony,
Senator Penrose voiced vigorous criti-
cism of the Wilson administration s
policy with respect to foreign rela-
tions, with particular reference to
Mexico.
Senator Penrose addressed an en-
thusiastic audience. The Rev. Her
bert Hargraves, pastor of the church.
introduced him. After the address
there was an impromptu reception for
the Senator.
After his set speech, Senator Pen
rose said he did not mean to indicate
that we were actually in danger of
war. but merely wanted to enlighter,
tie peop'eton the true conditions. The
United States never participated in a
war of ACKNOWLEDGMENT but always
and only for either its own independ
ence, for the maintenance of the I'm
ion. or for humanitarian reasons. The
flag would never be carried to. war
fare, he concluded, for the personal
advantage of any politician or set of
politicians.
