BRYAN'S STIFFNESS

Secretary Bryan's defense of the
Colombia treaty is ingenious, but
scarcely fundamental, We have de,
Clined to arbitrate, he says, and are
therefore obliged to satisfy Colon
bias sense OF Justice,
The secretary of state refuses to
discuss the details of the negotla-
tons; he will not enter into controv-
ersy with Theodore Roosevelt on the
subject of debated blackmail." 1t
suflices for him that the United
States will not arbitrate the question
and he argues that this country, as
the stronger nation must resolve all
doubts in favor OF Colombia This
sounds not little like the argument
of President Wilson on the subject
of canal tolls when he declared 1t
was question of honor and that II
the question was debatable, he for
one did not wish 10 debate it. We
are again reminded of the presidents
argument when Secretary Bryan de
clares that ratification of the treaty
will give prestige to the Unlte5
States throughout Spanish America,
and once more when he adds, This
nation can afford to DO just; even
more, it can afford to be generous in

THE REAL
SITUATION
BY Winfield Jones

Washington. ID. c., July 49,
Speaking to the Virginia editors re-
Gently at the White House. President
Wilson declared with all solemnity:
when the trust bills are passed
there will be tremendous revival
of business throughout the country.
or words to the same import.
In that sentence the President at
last acknowledged there is business
depression. though heretofore Secre-
tary OF Commerce Redfe!d has been
bounding around the country declar.
ing that business Is booming and the
Democratic national headquarters
here are sending out at frequent In
tervals strenuous claims that the
business of the country is all right
and the reports Of millions out Of
work. or shutdown factories. In thou.
sands OF American gold going to Eu-
rope. of the farmers' plight caused
by the Democratic tariff. are mere
ly false reports designed to fool the
voters at the polls next November.
President Wilson is dreamer, 9
theorist, a man utterly ignorant Of
business. His favorite antitrust mea-
sures cannot possibly help business.
They are far more likely to cripple
business. The thing that Is hurting
business most Is depression and stag
nation resulting directly from the
American people which. In turn, has
been brought about by loss OF EN-
ployment and fewer pay envelopes.
Three million wage earners either
wholly without work or working re-
duced hours, who have lost their jobs
through the Democratic tariff and ere
spending 40 per cent less than for
merly over the counters of retail
stores-that is what has hurt bust
ness. That is what allied the H. b.
Claflin company of New York and its
big chain of associated retail houses.
That Is why local merchants whose
notes to the extent of S34 900 900 have
been endorsed by the Claim house can
not pay those notes They had lost
their trade, along with the lost jobs
and lost pay envelopes of 5000 900
idle wage-earners, and so could not
pay their notes. Neither could the
Clallin company pay them, having no.
thing to pay with because OF slow col.
loctions from merchants who had pur-
chased stocks of goods on credit that
could not be turned into cash because
there was no demand for them.
Speaking of the shipment to Paris,
June 10, of 100000 in gold coin
and OF the sending abroad OF s5S,22o,-
900 of American gold since the be
ginning of the present year, the New
York journal OF Commerce remarks:
"The country's foreign trade posi-

crease the friend mess of the many

ca with whom our relations daily be-
come more intimate. This argument
Is reminiscent of the presidents yad
dress to congress. in which he said
that unless congress repealed the
free tolls act he would not know how
to deal with other foreign questions
Of greater delicacy and nearer conse,
quence. The idea OF the administra.
ton seems to be that the United
States must purchase prestige and
good will. Not only must we buy
the good will of England by giving
her the lions share of canal benefit,
but even in dealing with the Latin
American republics we must pay all
that they demand In order to con-
tinue to bask In their smiles. This
is quite different from the inspiring
sentiment uttered by one American
president who said, Millions for
defense, but not one cent for trib-
ute"
The American people will regret
that Secretary Bryan did not discuss
the entire question on its merits. In
dubitably he has become familiar
with all the negotiations that pre-
coded the Panama revolution and has
formed an estimate as to the blame
attaching to the United States and to
Colombia for the failure of the nego-
tiations and for the Panama revolu.
tlon. This Ia the real question In
volved. II the treaty is to be dis
cussed upon its merits in the senate
all the acts of Theodore Roosevelt
made arbitration impossible for us by
placing the United States in the
wrong. II this be true, then the
senate will be compelled to estimate
the damages on this basis. II 1t be
not true. then the damages would be |
slight and an apology by the United |
States would be utterly unthinkable.
Secretary Bryan does not even men,
ton the subject of Colombia's blame
He seems to assume
hat Colombia has the same right to
or damages now that 1t
lad prior to the Panama revolution.
Surely this cannot be true II the
Panama revolution was justified and
hat Is another subject which the Sec
etary avoids. From almost any
,oint Of view, therefore. the secre-
ary's statement is incomplete and
1t Is folly on his
,art to expect that the senate will
,e content to discuss the treaty with
n the narrow limits which he pre-
cribes. All OF the fundamental H.
ues must be debated and as re-
ult the Bryan document will disap-
,esr like mere bubble on the sur
ace. Tribune.

HOlDUP IN WEBER
COUNTY

We have considerable admiration
for the Progressive bosses in Weber
county. They certainly are making
the Democrats pay dearly for the
number of followers they hope to car
ry with them. All that the Progress
sives asked was the privilege of nom
mating men for a majority of the Of
fees. II was a holdup game, pure
and simple. The Democrats knew
that their case was hopeless unless
they could get help. Like the drown
ing man, they were grasping at
s lws Fusion does not offer much
hope, but 1t is the only chance. The
Progressive bosses knew this and
stuck firmly to their prices nomin-
ations out of Is And the Democrats
had to accept whatever terms they
could get.
When a political party finds itself
weakened to point where II Is
willing to relinquish majority Of the
Offices in order to gain little assist
ance toward electng men to the Jobs
remaining times are getting pretty
hard. 1t il a confession of weakness
which would never be made II It
could possibly be avoided. We must
give the Democratic bosses credit
for being wise enough to read public
sentiment. They know that their
case is hopeless and are willing to
pay any price that may be asked for
assistance matter how weak the
assistance promises to be.
With such an admission OF weak
ness on the part OF the Democrats
this early in the year the Republican
party in Weber county should have
nothing to worry about. IT looks
like clear sailing, And. as we re-
marked before. we have very high
degree of admiration for the nerve
displayed by the Progressive com;
mitteemen in Weber. They, too,
must have realized the extreme weak
ness OF the Democrats or they would
never have demanded so much. =,
This should be a good tip to the
Progressive leaders in Cache county.

TOO MUCH iNoUIs,rIoN

President Wilson has repeatedly
shown that his interest in business is
purely academic and not applicable
to business in the concrete. He has
scolded business men for urging the
adjournment of congress. The pres.
ident must know there is nothing

STRANGE SHOWER FROM SKY

A remarkable fall from the heavens
of large quantities of what is dascrib-
ed as meteoric floss took place at
Healdsburg. The shower, which be-
gan between Z and a. M, ard reach
ed its maximum about 10 o'clock, was
seen by all the inhabitants of the
town.
According to an eyewitness, the
material appeared high in the heavens
in clear sky, as mass of stars, lus-
trous metallic sheet sand siivery
ropes. 1t reached the earth in various
shapes and sizes, ranging from minute
PARTICLES to sheets twenty feet square.
1t fell in such quantities that long
ropes and masses of it hung from the
telephone and telegraph wires.
When the substance reached the
warm earth it began at once TO con-
tract into fibrous masses, resembling
f1ossy asbestos, though tests proved
that, it was not that material. Most
of it soon disappeared, though SAM
pies were saved and sent to Director
Campbell, of the Lick Observatory,
and to Prof. Tito Alippi, director of
the observatory at Urbano, Italy,

CREW STOPS TRAIN
AND SAVES HOME
Hexie Trainmen Find House
on Fire, But Occupants
Didn't Know 1t g

The train crew ON $40 of the, Hexie
branch yesterday saved a home 1t
Cliff Switch from destruction by
flames. The house, which was almost
block from the railroad tracks, was
atire, and one side of 1T had been en-
quilted by the flames, when the rail-
road men began their assault on it.
When Engineer Sullivan noticed the
fire he was almost a mile from the
scene. He started the whistle to blow
ing furiously and opened the throttle.
The noise of the siren soon attracted
the attention of the train crew, and
when the engine drew up opposite the
burning home and came to stop,
conductor, engineer, brakeman and
the other attaches leaped off and hur-
ried to the building.
Bruce McCammon, one of the crew,
FASTENED into the building to notify
the inmates who he supposed were
asleep. He found an elderly lady sit
ting beside a fireplace knitting, ignOr-
ant Of any danger.
He hurried her from the house and
escorted one of her grandchildren, who
was the only other occupant, from the
building. By this time the crew had
organized themselves into a bucket
brigade. The water was carried from
a we'll almost a block away, and the
trainmen worked heroically for fifteen
minutes.
When the blaze was finally extin-
guished, the fire fighters dashed back
to their posts Of duty, and were IN
such a great hurry that they neglected
to ask the name of the occupants of
the house.
Those who took part in extinguish-
ing the flames were: Bruce Mccain
mon, Harry Arnold, Eugene Sullivan,
Ivan Fitzgerald, B. Hostetter and
Vernon Hoover.
