ASK TOO MUCH.

Negotiations between this country
and Colombia over the separation of
Panama from The South American re-
public have resulted in demands which
cannot possibly be complied with,
Colombia declares indemnify in the
form OF money is secondary con.
sideration; that it should have the
same rights 10 use the Panama Canal
As the United states.
1t has been reported that this coun-
try was willing 20 pay Colombia from
f2OU00,000 10 S2j.O00,00 TO salye her
supposed injuries, either amount being
considered much too large in many
quarters. Granting perpetual rights
TO use the Panama Canal is ont Of the
question. The Colombia ncgotiators
should diveSt their minds of all such
thoughts aud como down TO earth. 1t
might also be well for them 10 bear
in mind the inglorious end Of the ucgo-
tiations during tho administration OF
President Taft.

of the first Carey act project which
viii be opened in Utah, Governor vii
liam. Spry, at high noon today, will
drive 4 golden spike at the Delta ter.
minus of the branch There Will. be
music, congratulatory speeches and gen.
cral festivities. In the good old-fash-
ioned way tho settlers and the railroad
officials will unite in celebrating an
event which is the precursor OF q
prosperity in which all will share.
Forty thousand acres will be irriga-
ted from reservoir which impounds
the waters of the Sevior river in Mil
lard county The railroad extension
will be fourteen miles long, and will
give the farmers on this project trans
portation facilities which should make
the lands profitable from The start
Scarcely week passes but that the
people Of Utah are cheered by the an
nouncement of new irrigation project
a new rauroad or branch of railroad,
or some other notable enterprise add
ing TO the wealth and prosperity of
this region. While railroad building
is at standstjll IN most regions of
tho United States, branches and ex-
tensions are constantly under way in
Utah and the southern part of Idaho.
For commercial purposes southern Idaho
is part of the region which is max
ing Sair Lake one of the great trade
,enters and market cities of the couu-
Try. 1t is impossible to read about
.he development in all lines of agri-
culture, commerce and transportation
without being impressed by the fact
hat this region is on the threshold of
IN unexampled forward movement, the
ike of which cannot be paralleled in

EXcOriating BIease.

Tire New York Outlook reviews the par,
don record Of Governor Cole Blease o
South Carolina, and reaches the conclu.
sion that ne has no conception of Tn,
duties OF his office or Of his responsible,
ties as holder Of the pardoning power
Governor Blease Is perhaps less silly
and more sleek than some OF his angry
critics credit him with being. He is evil
IDENTIFY fair student of men and condi-
tons in the state which has RESPONDED
10 his political methods by bestowine
upon him the rulership.
IL Is futile to cNcoriate Governor Blease
when he is merely adapting himself "a
the existing conditions and getting along
IN politics accordingly. The blame at
tacheS TO South Carolina whose citizens.
or majority Of them prefer the B!ca sc
type aud vote for him.
Iherc are. OF course. many South Caro-.
hnauS who arc keenly aware of the de-
1cicncics OF their governor, but they are
voters who were OF the minority when
he was elected. There have been no
surprises in his course as governor; he
IS the same Bleasc who was elected. Since
there seems 10 he a possibility. even a
proba biiIty. tnat he viii be sent 10 the
United states senate it is evident that
South Carolina, rather than Bleasc, is in
need OF regeneration.
The fact IS that South Carolina needs
better education, good roads and an I'm
provement OF the discrimination among
those who cast ballots and create GOV
ernors. At present his state is perhaps
the only one in the union In which
Bieases methods would be effective. Tile
distinction IS unenvia iable.-Loulsville Cour-

Where Convict Labor Benefits.

is held that convict labor is the only
solution TO the road problem OF the ma

finest roadways are TO be constructed
there in the next ten years for less than
$500 900, and this without adding any
thing whatever to the burden of the tax

EUGENICS.

a national conference on race bet.
terment has been in session at Battle
Creek, Michigan, during the past week
and the subject Of eugenics has been
discussed from all points of view. Race
betterment is cousummation devout-
ly to be wished. Doubtless many of
the ills 10 which human flesh is
heir could be eliminated If proper pre-
cautions were taken, but it is going to
be uphill work TO force men and wom-
en- TO take care of themselves in order
that future generations of human be-
ings may be more nearly physically
perfect.
The Wisconsin law requiring eXami
nation before marriage went into
operation January !. 1t is already
dead letter. \ law establishing a
eugenics registry Office for the purpose
OF developing human thoroughbreds,
gravely proposed and discussed at Bat
tie Greek, would not be practical, no
matter what may be said of the value
OF such registration to the fauciers of
thoroughbred livestock
The study of euthenics. which is the
name proposed for the preliminary
science on which eugcnics is TO be
based is perfectly right and proper.

MUCH NEWS LEFT OUT

During the last four weeks we were
obliged to leave out of our paper much
news and several good articles and
communications owing to the fact of
the election which called for a great
deal of space and the Constitutional
Amendments took up two pages, so
we were pressed for space and so had
to omit some articles and news items.
Please do not feel hurt about it as
we did our best and did not intend to
slight anyone or to cause anyone to
think his writings had been left out
on purpose.
