the GOVERNOR SHOULD KNOW.

The governor of Utah has denied the
request of President Wilson to post
pone the execution Of Joseph Hill
strom, a member of the 1. w. W., con-
victed of the murder Of groceryman
and his son at Salt Lake City. The
presidents message was sent after res
olutions by the San Francisco fedora
ton of la Dor had been wired to the
president. The governor replies that
he can not and will not interfere So
Hillstrom will be shot, which is the
method of execution employed by the
state of Utah.
1t is not entirely clear how the
governor could interfere with the ex-
ecution merely upon the request Of
any organization. Hilstrom had been
convicted of murder and sentenced I'M
der the provisions Of the laws made
against that offense. Unless 1t were
made clear to the governor that in
justice had been done, that the case
had not been proved and that the ma
chinery of the law had been diverted
he could scarcely be expected to in
terfere with sentence imposed in &C
cord with the law and it's procedure.
The evidence which connected Hill
strom with the crime seems to have
been convincing.
Now Hillstrom may have been inno-
cent OF that particular crime-possibly
but not probably. That he carried
automatic pistols, that he had been en-
gagged in a desperate bloody battle in
which he was seriously wounded and
that blood tracks led from the groc-
cry TO the physicians office where he
sought medical assistance make a
chain Of circumstances that appear to
justify the denial of the presidents
request by the governor of the state
where the crime was committed and
the penalty pronounced.
Some line on the character of man
may be had from his kilograms. One

Il will die like true blue rebel" An
other to woman assured her that he
had lived like rebel and would die
like a rebel And still this man in
prison refused stimulants from the
prison doctor because he is opposed to
liquor and asked for grape juice.
Hillstrom is probably an example oil
the way strong nature leads an un-
trained intelligence. No doubt he
imagined himself a sort Of hero and
still deludes himself with the idea thai
he is a martyr to a great cause. Thai

esEsce,s NEUTRALITY.

England and France have decided
that Greece can no longer remain neu-
trail 1t has been agreed to deal Wig
orously with Greco"
That is what Germany did to Bel
GUM, dealt vigorously with that un-
fortunate country. The nature of the
manner of vigor put in force by Ger
many is exact. The exact nature OF
the pressure allied powers propose to
exert vigorously upon Greece Is kept
secret" Where precisely, lies the diff
ference between tweedledum and
.weedledee, between forcing the neu-
rality of Blgium and that of Greece?
The conclusion of the world is that
Belgium as an independent power had
legal right to deny passage to Ger
man troops and that the forcing of her
boundaries was crime against inter-
national law. The Germans plead their
own exigency and cite the law of self
preservation. But has not Greece the
same rights under the rules Of nations
TO remain neutral and refuse trans
portation of foreign troops across her
territory?
That English money has been used
to strengthen the Greek military es-
tablishment rs no secret. The question
is how much it bought. If it bought
a right of way across Greece bust
ness rules would insist that it should
have what it paid for. But there is no
open statement as regards whatever
agreement may have been made.
Greece, little country. is between
the dogs of war. Naturally she does
not desire to furnish a battlefield in
quarrel which is not her own. Per
haps she awaits better offer but it
contingent upon the success of either
side would be worth the chances Of
defeat.
We have heard much of the rights Of
neutral nations and seen small obser-
vance of those rights when the exig
encies of stronger nations demanded
advantage by non observance. The
conclusion of the world is likely to be
that of the diplomats who assert with
boldness that trea ties are but scraps
of paper and international agreements
and laws meaningless words and SEN
fences when stronger nations see fit to
over rule and over ride weaker ones.

tional spirit and Jealous of her rights,

Now that the prison farm has been

That is what it was bought for and
that is what the state will desire and

along the right line and with practical

In Clinton's early morning fire loss,
the sympathy of the entire city is ex-
tended to the affected firms. Their
loss is Clinton's. New buildings and
new stocks may take the place OF the
property destroyed by fire but that
which has been consumed is gone for
ever. New investments, new OUTLAWS
of cash, are represented in the re-
placements. Insurance never COM
pensates for fire loss such as that Of

The Strawpile
uni.ina Re.. For Winter.

Uniting Bees For Winter.
The safest time for uniting weak
colonies is before freezing weather sets
in. Where warm days are frequent,
hives having loose bottoms and covers
can be piled one above another, until
a strong colony Is insured. Those too
weak to winter alone, however, must
be united regardless Of weather condi-
lions, says L. E. Kerr, in Farm and
Home.
A difficult point in uniting, is to keep
the moved bees from returning to the
old stand. II done on cold day no
smoke is needed and no bees will be
flying. Moreover, should it not warm
up for a week, none will return. When
a warm day comes, the bees will unite
peacefully.
In flying weather, . sheet Of paper
should be placed between the united
hives SO as to confine those moved for
a day or two. BY the time this Il
gnawed away, the bees will remain.
With hives having the floor board
nailed, frames only can befhandled and
every effort should be put forth to
have uniting done before cold weather.
as there il q vast difference between
lifting a hive from its stand and break
ing up the cluster Of bees.
Uniting Is generally done to increase
colony strength, tho it also is done to
avoid the necessity of feeding for win
ter stores. Some claim poor results
with united bees. Such losses occur
only when very old bees are used that
would have died anyway. Thru uniting,
not only are the bees saved. but II In
ferior queens are weeded out. much
improvement Of stock will be obtained.

method:
The feed should be finely ground.
The finer the feed the more easily 1t
can be digested. An excellent fatten-
Ing ration consists OF twenty-four
pounds OF white bolted corn meal, six
pounds OF low-grade flour or . good
grade Of wheat middlings. four pounds

Birds should not be crate-fattened
for more than two weeks. II they are
fed for three weeks they make prac-
rically no gain the last week, thus
making the cost Of fattening greater.
It is unnecessary to use grit or gree
food when crate-fattening birds;
neither are they given any water to

there Is enough moisture In the Feed.

Celery keeps best stored out Of doors.
In cellar 1t often dries and gets
stringy and tough. Dig a pit about
three feet deep, lift the celery into 1t
with the roots on and store the plants
closely together. Cover with earth up
to the top of the celery, and put leaves
on about a foot deep to keep out the
moisture. Place boards in conicai
1nonud over the trench and cover with
leaves and earth. Leave the ends OF
the boards so that the pit can be
opened to admit air on mild days, as
the danger lies in heating.

women who are making the suffrage
campaigns" notes the Cedar Rapids
Republicans. Men do not like to be
forced to do a thing. Cajole them. per-
suade them, do anything else but try
to drive them. But Is it not bit
humiliating to think that women have
to get down on their knees to ask the
right to vote? What makes men the
arbitrators and the dispensers OF such
favors."
Enthusiastically the issue before the
people of Iowa today is the road ques-
ton. The must must CO." says the
Des Moines Capital. Communities are
demanding the right to issue bonds and
spend their own money any way they
see fit. The folly of building wooden
bridges with a big repair bill year after
year is too evident"

manner of man he is when he RENTED
the fines of score or more of Des
Moines druggists who were fined for
selling drink which contained one
tenth of l per cent of alcohol" says the
Storm Lake-Pilot- Tribune, commend
ing the governor for his action.
IF any particular town was respon-
sible for putting up the Iowa building

What an uproar there would be In
Iowa, or any other state II as many
deaths occurred from small pox as
