CHANGING COMMERCE.

While the United States is a great
agricultural country, the products Of
the farm no longer form the bulk of
our export trade with the world. In
1880, according to q statement OF the
department of commerce, SAB per cent
of the exports from this country were
agricultural products; In 1913 the total
had fallen to 46.1 per cent. Exports Of
manufactures, exclusive Of foodstuffs,
in 1880 were 14.7S per cent, while in
1913 the total had risen TO 4s.S per
cent.
There has been steady movement
in this direction for the last third OF a
century. and with our constantly in
creasing population it is certain that
we shall export less agricultural prod
ucts each succeeding year. In the
meantime our manufactures should be
shipped abroad in largely increased
quantities as the years go by. The
United States, owing to its vast extent
OF farming land, Will always hold its
place in the front rank Of agricultural
nations. but also 1T is evidently des-
tined to become the greatest manufac-
turing nation in the world, unless
hampered by legislation.

A MAGAZINE REFORMS.

In its April number the Smart Set
declares that IL has abandoned the
"sort Of fiction which is un.
necessarily realistic and plain spoken. -
The Smart Set conceived the idea q
few years ago that the American people
had emancipated themselves from the
old fogy ideas of prudery and were
willing to accept erotic literature. The
magazine mado a blundor, No one
Will accuse IL Of retractinG in a spirit
OF moral repentance. II has discovered
that the American people are healthy
minded; that they do not care for in
decency in literature; that the psy.

no interest for them, and, therefore,
that salacious literature does not pay.

DEMOCRATIC SPLIT.

The Democratic party, so recently
flushed and intoxicated with the VIC
tory OF 1912, is ront in twain over the
repeal Of the tolls exemption clause OF
the Panama canal act. The leaders in
the house have flatly refused to obey
the mandate issued from the White
house and the fur is flying in all di.
rections. Champ Clark. bitter and
sore over his defeat at Baltimore, but
always trying to smile while inwardly
raging, has cast aside all attempts at
concealment and arrayed himself
against the administration. Under
wood, Claude Kitehsn, Fitzgerald OF
New York, Brousrard and othor lead
ing Democratic members Of tho house
have ranged themselves behind the
speaker In his battle with the o1ecu-
tive.
There is less Of personal bitterness
in the senate, but the fight is no less
strenuous than in the lower chamber
There are no disappointed presidential
candidates cup stairs" fortunately
for the party, and there is some chance
OF the majority members getting to-
gether after the tolls question has been
settled. 1t Is different in the house
The line Of cleavage is plainly marked
and 1t Is the evident intention OF the
speaker and his followers to soap the
track every time the administration
train comes laundering along, especial

that only in unity can success be

reason to fear the result of the coming
congressional election, when their an
cient political enemies have begun
fighting among themselves on the eve
of battle. "Whom the gods wish to
destroy they first make mad" was said
OF yore, and from present indications
there is dagger, rope and ratsbane in
store FOR the Democratic party this

UNWORTHY OF SIRE.

Jesse Root Grant has not added to
the luster of the family name by try
ing to cast aside the wife Of his youth
and mother of his children through the
medium Of Nevada divorce court. 30
poor was his case that the Judge rem
dered his decision In favor Of the wife
without waiting for the conclusion of
the testimony, and the son of the great
soldier stands humiliated and disgraced
in the eyes of the world.
Sleeping peacefully side by side in
the magnificent monument OF Riverside
drive In New York, the old general and
his faithful helpmeet await the glad
morning Of the resurrection. Closely
they clung together and endured pow
erty on the farm they called "Hard-
scrabble" and they were one in
thought and spirit during the struggle
for existence when the future conqueror
and president worked in the tannery
at Galena. Still moro marked was their
devotion to each other during the dark
days of the civil war Their home life
was ideal and should have set an e1-
ample and furnished an inspiration for
their children.
Jesse Root Grant seems not to have
profited by the home life Of his par
ents. He sought divorce from his wife
whose only crime consisted in growing
old, and has proved himself unworthy
OF the name he bears.

SAVANTS DISAPPOINTED.

The student Of history almost always
feels n keen sense of disappointment
when the savants publish their trans

of trumpets that they have made an
important discovery and then the pub
lished results come like an anticlima1.
Yale university has just made public
information Cleaned from clay cylin-
ders in its BabyloDian collection. Aft

have been expecting that their re.
searches would shed a wondrous light
into the mysterious obscurities of an
cient history. What they have discov-
erod, Of course, has been of great value
in correcting sacred and profane chro-
nology, but has revealed practically
nothing that can aid US in getting at
the hearts and souls Of the ancient peo.

GET ACRE AND LIVE ON IT.

sounder advice could be given to peo-
plo Of moderate means than this. There
arc many people in the suburbs of
Salt Lake City who are In o po-
sdton TO g1ve concrete examples rel
ative to the possibilities Of q small
pieoe Of land. A family with q
modest house surrounded by an acre
Of good soil will produce prac-
tically everything that Is consumed by
the family. An acre Of ground we'll
cultivated with dairy cow or two and
little chicken yard as an adjunct
will materially reduce the expenses Of
family. A story comes to us from
Las Vegas, New, Of German farmer
who has three acres Of land. The re-
port ne to the proceeds Of this farm
has been authenticated by statements
from the bank In which he makes his
deposits, This man is engaged in poul-
try production and truck gardening.
The owner himself finds employment
on his place during the entire year
and occasionally he employs one or
two men to assist him. The net
returns for several years now have
been more than $4,000. Near Salt
Lake City there is small farm
consisting of but three and one-half
hut
half acres of good land in it, and yet
the value Of the produce from this little
farm amounts to about $1,000 OF $500
per year. This little property cost
the owner $3s00. There are a modern
two'story brick house, barn. chicken
yard and an orchard and all is we'll
fenced. The owner has been farming it
now for fifteen years. There are many
wage earners near Salt Lake City vino
are getting very considerable part
of their living for the entire year from
very email piece Of ground.
We understand that a committee
from the Commercial club is now en-
gagged in preparing booklet on the
possibilities Of reclaiming by tile drain
age the greater portion Of the land ly-
Ing between Salt Lake City and Salt
lake. Experiments conducted there
some years ago by tho United States
department Of agriculture in co-opera-
ton with the Utah experiment station
demonstrated the feasibility. Of reclaim
ing these lands from the alkaline con
dition and making them fruitful and
productive. In the particular case
referred to tho cost of drainage was
not prohibitive, involving, as we
understand, cost Of less than
s25 per acre. 1t is certain that the
Commercial club is performing an e1-
cellent service in getting at the real
facts in connection with this resource
and In placing them before the people.
For If thoroughly satisfactory demon
stration Of the feasibility Of reclaim
Ing these lands can be made then rec
lamation will follow naturally and
speedily and the broad acres Of this
western plain will afford homes and
sustenance for thousands of industrious
