SPEAKER ANDERSON

The House OF Representatives are
to be congratulated upon the choice
1t has made for Speaker, and the peo-
pie of the state can rest assured
that the present organization will be
up to the standard of that which has
been a credit to the state ever since
the dawn of statehood.
l.. r. Anderson is one of the lead
ing citizens of San Pete county, which
means that he is one OF the leading
citizens Of Utah. He has had exper.
fence, is capable, Is responsible from
the fact that he has many interests
that are affected by good or bad leg
islation, which insures in advance
that he will not run riot on fads, and
be carried away by the radical ideas
of the extremist, He Is possessed
OF good judgment, level headed and
conservative, and If the House
should for the moment attempt to
run away" Speaker Anderson pos.
sesses the tact and ability to call the
hat, and place them on the beaten
track again.
Representatives Meeks and Brink.
erhoff are to be congratulated upon
the stand they took in the matter of
this election. Both gentlemen would
have preferred speaker from their
own party, but with the Republicans
in a clear plurality, and under speci-
fic advices from leaders in their re;
spective counties, they made 1t clear
to the people of the entire state that
their action was consistent, and FOR
the best interests OF the state.
Congratulations Speaker Anderson.

to contraband and kindred topics.
The Declaration of London sought to
make the rule as clear as possible
by writing this provision: The trans
fer of an enemy vessel to a neutral
flag effected after the outbreak of
hostilities Is void unless It is prov
ed that such a transfer was not made
in order to evade the consequences
to which an enemy vessel as such is
exposed"
AS internment during war must be
regarded as one OF the consequences
to which an enemy vessel Is exposed
1t may be argued that no transfer
OF German ship could now be made
without violating this rule. Yet the
rule seems to look to the purpose ra-
Their than to the surrounding facts,
and could not German owner simply
desire to sell Gut as in time OF peace?
1t is not a clear definition by any
means. Moreover, the Declaration
OF London has not been accepted by
Great Britain, so even these rather
unsatisfactory words are not binding
and only the earlier vague principles
control. The Dacia is likely to be
much litigated ship before she
reaches port and no lawyer or proph-
ct will care to predict what nag is
flying at her coop when the legal war
Is over New York Tribune.

Can We Buy Lnterned Ships?

The case of the Dacia, Hamburg.
American freighter, bought by an Am
erican citizen and soon to start with
a cargo of cotton from Texan port
to Bremen, is likely to arouse an i'm.
portant international debate. Ac
cording to some reports the admin

to ascertain how far this country can
go in buying liners for the proposed
government owned routes. The Dacia
seems certain to stir up this exact
question.

REDUCED PRODUCTION OF Il
PORTLAND CEMENT IN 1914
Geological Survey Estimate Shows
Nearly Four Million Barrels
Decrease-First In History
OF Industry

The Portland cement manufactured
in the United States In 1914 approx
mated SS,514,0OO barrels, compared
with 92O97, l31 barrels in 1913,, de-
crease of about 3,5S3,000 barrels, or
nearly 4 per cent. These prelimin-
airy figures are given out by the Unit
ed States Geological Survey and are
based on returns received by e. F.
Burchard from all the operating mills
In the United States except one for
which an estimate has been made.
The estimated shipments OF Port
land cement during 1914 were &c..
$4,000 barrels, compared with 49,
6S9,377 barrels in 1913, a decrease Of
about 1,975,000 barrels or % per
cent. On account of the surplus Of
production over shipments stocks OF
cement at the mills apparently in
creased more than IA per cent or
from 11,22O,32S barrels in 1913 to
l2,S1S,000 barrels at the close of
1914. The estimates furnished by
some producers undoubtedly includ
ed more or less unground clinker, but
II is believed that the figures for pro-
ductlon and shipments, II not for
stocks, are close to those that will
be shown later by exact reports from
the producers.
The Lehigh district of eastern Penn
sylvania and western New Jersey
produces more cement than any 9th
er section of the United States
about 2S per cent OF the total produc'
ton. This district showed a de-
crease OF more than Q per cent in
both production and shipments Of
Portland cement. The Illinois and
northwestern Indiana district, which
is next In importance, with an annu-
al output OF more than ll,00o'OOo
barrels, showed a slight decrease
and the Pacific coast district (Cali-
fornia and Washington, which Is
third In Importance and produces
about 100000 barrels. showed de
crease Of about 10 per cent. 1mpor'
tant increases in production and ship
ments were shown by New York
State, the Michigan northeastern In
diana district, the Iowa Missouri dis
trict, the Maryland Virginia West
Virginia district, and the Rocky
Mountain district. The average value
per barrel was probably slightly low
or than in 1913.

things 1t has been said by a number
of persons, that 1t was expected that
either Rep sentative Griffin or Rep
resentatiYe Peterson, or both, would
desert the allies and vote with the
Repub leans. We have no special in
terest in these two gentlemen, other
than that We hope they will both
make good legislators, but we never
for one moment expected them to
join the Republicans. and we think
any person who harbored such
thoughts d es them an injustice. We
do not know how they feel in the
political company which they have
been keeping, in fact that Is their
own business, but we do feel that
after having entered into the compact
1t was up to them to stick, and whe
ther or not the ordeal was distaste-
full we think they are both deserving
Of congratulations on the way they
have so far conducted themselves.

obligations which they were under

cordance with their own individual

The War Against War

During the last week or SO rumors
OF peace in January have been cur
rent, especially In semi-official circles.
There can be, in our opinion, only
three reasons which would serve to
bring about peace, and they are
these: The complete defeat of Ger
many, the defeat of the Allies or a
condition of grave internal trouble
in either Germany or Austria, or
both. We are not sure that grave
internal trouble, approaching that ex-
perienced during the Paris Commune
will not be felt in Berlin, but we
scarcely think that 1t will be just
yet. Germany Is scarcely likely to
sue for peace on other terms than
those made possible by drawn
game. We do not believe that Ger
many will be beaten earlier than the
late spring. But the allies are not
setting their faces towards defeat,
but ultimate victory. Hating war as

The High Cost of Salvation

In the February Woman's Home
Companion, the Rev. Charles Sickle
superintendent Of the bureau of SO
cial service of the Presbyterian
Board Of Home Missions, writes an
interesting article EMIT ed, Making
the Church Do Real Work" 1t Is a
practical talk on the business of the
church and how 1t can best accom-
plish the work for which It was or
ganized. Following is an extract
from his article:
at would shock the average church
member to be told that the CONVEX
sion of each new recruit for his
church had cost just 1870 .25-if this
were true. And most of the members
of the church in question would be

a church in which the cost per con-
version had amounted to only $50. 10

THE WISDOM OF SAMUEL

AppTOpOS Tue recent legislative
deadlock in the lower house of the
legislature, one cannot help but smile
at the wisdom of our own legislator,
the Hon. Samuel Oldham. When the
fight was at its height, when Farley
p. Christensen had been thrown ov-
erboard and David Morris had been
substituted, and when 1t became evil
ground, when all caucus pledges had
been released and thrown down, and
when Mr. Morris had given notice
that pe would not be a candidate af
ter the vote then pending had been
taken, Mr.. Oldham arose and said
this:
Gentlemen, / believe there is
only one way to settle the matter.
Let us adjourn over until Monday
and go home and consult our con.
stituents This is costing the state
luOuSauuS VI uolla's anu IL ihuol
be settled"
We dis ike very much to differ
with Mr. Oldham because we real
lie that he is very digniiied gentle
man, and gentleman of ability, too,
but really the great mass of wisdom
that is crowded into that little
speech Is so striking that We feel
that we must give 1t passing notice.
Let us analyze the speech and the
conditions surrounding it. Mr.. Old
ham says there is only way to settle
the matter and that is to go home and
consult our constituents. Re-
member that the legislature consists
of GA members drawing a per deim of
81. There are about forty employees
drawing the same stipend, making a
daily pay roll OF over $500 per day.
This added to the other expenses
makes fair average OF the daily ex-
pense of the legislature $500 per
day. At the time Mr.. Oldham made
this speech six legislative days had
passed into history at $500 per day
or $4,000, SO that no one need ques
ton his statement that thousands OF
dollars OF cost to the state was be-
ing created. And yet, Mr.. Oldham
wanted to adjourn until Monday and
nut the state to an expense OF $o0o
for Sunday in order that he and 9th
ers might consult our constituents
1t Is well that his motion did not car
ry, for while We have a great deal
OF respect for Mr.. Oldham's constitu
ency yet we do not believe that 1t
would be possible for him to get
$1,000 worth OF advice from them in
the short space OF Saturday and Sun
day. In fact We are somewhat skep-
tical as TO whether or not he would
be able TO consult with more than
Chairmen George Romney and John
A. Sheldon, and while we Will al
nit that both OF these gentlemen are
running over with wisdom, yet we
question very much as to whether or
not they could dispense enough In
short interview with Mr.. Oldham to
be worth $1,000 to the state OF Utah.
Finally the very best reason In the
world why Mr.. Oldham's wisdom was
faulty lies in the fact that the house
was at the very moment lie sat down
upon the verge OF deciding upon
speaker. and in less than five min
utes after he had quit speaking,
speaker had been decided upon, and
the next day he was elected. So that
the deed was done without Consult
ing our constituents" and the $1,000
was saved to the state, and yester'
day morning instead of being unor-
ganized as Mr., Oldham would have
had II, the House was organized and
ready to proceed to business Really

Central Powers Meeting
 With Success In Servid

Berlin, October 24.-6via London.) The Servian campaign, according to all information reaching Berlin, is pro- gressing favorably for the central pow CTS, although operations are retarded by bad weather and like the region south of Belgrade by the difficult to- pography of the country.
 The German, Austrian and Bulgar- ian forces are reported to be gaining ground everywhere. The mention in Saturdays general staff statement that the troops of the central allies had crossed the Drina river near visegrad shows that Teutonic forces are oper- ating on Servia's western front a fact heretofore not suspected This almost completes the circle of the armies car rying out @ general corral against the Servian forces. While all reports indi- cate that the Servians are fighting with splendid courage and show great skill in utilizing the irregularities of the country's topography, still it Is stated they are unale to cope with the superior runners and stronger artillery of the forces operating against them.

KNOX BOOTH DIES IN
 MEMPHIS HOSPITAL
Former Internal Revenue Agent Has Sudden Attack
 of Heart Disease

Memphis, Tenn, October 24.-Knox Booth, former internal revenue agent for Tennessee and Alabama, died suddenly at hospital here today. His death was attributed to an acute heart affection.
 MT Booth collapsed at a railroad sta- tion late last night as he was about to board train for Nashville. Tenn. He revived, but several hours later again col lapsed and died within few minutes. At the hospital to which he was taken Mir. Booth stated that several days ago he suffered an attack of ptomaine poisoning. This, the attending physician stated, prob ably caused the heart attack which re- suited in his death.
 MT. Booth was en route from Fort Smith, Ark, where he was summoned to appear for trial in connection with the so- called "Moonshine" distillery frauds, by which, it was charged, the government was defrauded out of approximately $3S3,- COG in internal revenue through the all legged connivance of Booth, several other government employees and certain distil- ers. The case against Booth was post poned until January, but others charged with application in the frauds pleaded guilty early last week and the majority were sentenced to prison terms. Booth is said to have made statements to de- partment of justice agents shortly after his removal from office and was expected to appear as a witness for the prosecution of his alleged co-consprators.
 MT. Booth was 4S years old and for a number of years had taken an active part in political affairs in Tennessee and other southern states. His body will be taken to Prattsville. Ala. for burial

lies are being closely watched here. it is generally assumed they are too late to save Servia- Also the belief is ex- pressed that Bulgaria is throwing its greatest strength into the Vardar val ley to prevent a junction of the entente forces with Servian troops, and that the Bulgarians are amply able to hold the valley against any force the en- tente allies can bring into action be- fore the collapse of Servia.
 Dr. Stephen Stiener, the Loka1 An zeiger's correspondent at German southeastern hadquarters, reports that he finds the Servians unable to sum- mon the moral force to withstand the fearful effect of the German and Aus trian artillery. He says the Servian artillery Is much inferior to that of the Teuton and is of insufficient quan- tity. The successes of the troops of the central allies, he says, thus far have been achieved by splendid artil- lery preparation. for the attacks and their losses in men have been corre- spondingly small.

BAND PLAYS DIXIE" AS DIXIE TOURISTS.
 ROLL INTO MIAMI

Miami, Fla. October 24.-Dixie high way tourists who left Chicago october rolled into Miami, their destination. shortly after noon today, while a dozen bands played Dixie. and occu- pants of some 300 automobiles shouted their welcome. The tour, undertaken to promote a national highway from the Great Lakes to the straits of Flor ida, now is at an end and late tomor- row night the tourists expected to start northward by train. Monday will be given over to playtime. Fishing in the warm waters of the South Atlantic, hunting boat rides and dancing are before the tourists. A formal banquet will be given in their honor tomorrow night.
 The route over which the highway makers travelled took them into five states-Illinois Indiana. Kentucky. Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, lead ing them almost in a straight line from Chicago to Miami. The route intended to be known as the Dixie highway will lead through these states. but local changes probably will be made from the route taken on this trip.
