Is called on for addresses over a
wide territory, and soon acquires a
national reputation.
A member of congress on the other
hand, is tied down by the tradi-
tions of an unwieldy body. He finds
men of equal ability, great exper-
fence, and wider influence who have
opposite convictions. He finds him
self held down by the red tape Of
committees, and the pressure Of a
vast system of conflicting interests.
It may be years before he gets any
chance to make himself heard.
There are many disappointments
though in the path of ambitious gov
ernors. Commonly they have to
come from a state regarded as doubt
full before they are considered as
presidential possibilities. And many
regulations that look big inside Of
state limits begin to dwarf and fade
the moment they are offered before
wider audience.

Our Governors
Job.

The slowness with which election
returns came in after the voting of
November emphasizes the idea that
a great many people are not good
counters. 1t would seem simple
enough matter for a group of men to
take a few hundred ballots, classify,
count and tabulate them, and get
the footings in a comparatively few
hours. But there have been thous-
ands of precincts this time where
it took as many days to get the to-
tails as 1t should have taken hours.
AS has been remarked before,
some Of the states have this work
carefully systematized and they get
their returns in few hours. In
others the counters muddle along for
days. Apparently they make mistak-
es 50 that the total number receiv-
ed by the several candidates does
not equal the total of the votes cast.
So the counters have to go over and
over the different punches of bal
lots. trying to locate the errors.
There are a great many people
who cannot count and add simple
sums accurately. Often they are
well educated persons. But some
how they lack concentration of mind.
Their attention drifts off to other
things and soon they are emitting
a number or counting something
twice.
| Many people get nervous and
hurried over any such work as count.
ing or simple arithmetic. Probably
many ballot counters. trying to gel
through their work in a hurry. will
count two ballots as one. They
worry their perplexed heads. while
the crowds around the bulletir
boards and the politicians and candi
dates big and little are cursing tn,

Independent
Voting.

The remarkable thing about the
recent election Is the utter irregular
ity of the verdict. Two states are
found to exist side by side, where
social and economic conditions and
personal temperament seem about
alike. Yet they show radically diff
ferent results. While New York for
instance. goes strong Republican.
Ohio, a near neighbor with similar
traditions and habits and poulation.
goes radically opposite.
Similar tendencies are seen in the
voting in individual precincts. Peo-
pie who were taking returns in news
paper offices say they were surprised
by the Irregularities. A would run
ahead of d in one town; in another
close by similar in character, B
would run awayahead of A. The
voters are doing their own thinking
under their own hats. The party
WHY win that presents the best is
cannot expect to win on its record,
no matter how good that Is.
The old time party loyalty pro-
duced unity of harmony and action
that many of our older people hate
to see disappear. But the modern
spirit emphasizes the individual judg-
ment. The voters will not be held
down by any past traditions.
The politicians need to realize that
the days of straight party voting are
over. They have realized that pretty
well during the last election. Most
people who have read many speeches
the past campaign will be able to
recall scarcely any which the straight
'old-time appeal to party loyalty was
made.
A few years ago the politicians
used often to issue addresses begin,

Handling Fruit.

A new science OF fruft culture is
growing up. Formerly farmers were
careless about shipping and packing
these products. They failed to real
lie of what a peculiarly transient
and fragile nature all fruit substance
is composed. Apple pickers used to
sit down on the ground under the
trees, and as they sorted the fruit.
they would toss the apples from one
pile to another. This would make
slight abrasions that would be the
starting point for rot.
The least little wound in the sur
face of an apple is the beginning of
decay. If there Is a hard blow of
wind and the fruit is shaken off it
is worthless. A fall of few feet
is likely to make small bruise that
becomes the center of infection.
Other fruits are even more fragile
than apples and demand even more
careful handling.
The fruit crops of the country
could be made good deal more
valuable IL every grower thoroughly
realized the need of great care in
handling. The wrapping of each in
dividual specimen in tissue paper is
becoming more common, and in tim.
will become universal with certain
staples. Farmers used to think this
was done to make the product look
pretty and attract the eye of the
buyer. 1t does have that effect. No
doubt the price secured is more than
enough for the labor and material.
But many old-fashioned farmers re-
garded 1t as fad that ought not
to be allowed by sensible people.
They have hung back about comply
ing with the demands of the market.
This careful handling is econom-
ical because it preserves the life of
ragile substances and thus enables
the consumer to use them in larger
quantities. The better fruit is pre-
served, the greater addition 1t make-
to the scarce food supply of the ma
ton.

gret.
1t Is remarkable the changes a
few short years or even a few short
months can bring. When President
Wilson was notified four years ago
that Utah was one of the states that
he did not carry he is reported to
have said Thank God l did not car
ry Utah." and 1t is but a few short
months in the past that he went out
of his way to play the rascal" in
the meddling with Utah's affairs, in
the matter of the famous Hillstrom
case. The insult was all the more
marked from the fact that he refus-
ed to butt in on the Frank case in
Georgia. notwithstanding the petit
tions of thousands and thousands of
people from various states in the
union. But nothing was too raw or
too crude for Utah so the President
went the limit. II was so raw that
nearly all the Commercial Clubs of
the state went unanimously on rec
ord against the President, although
we are living in an age when it is
sin to criticise. But now the
scene has changed, and Utah meas

yard stick is at least worth few

Poor Counting.

1t will not escape the attention
of aspiring politicians that the two
foremost candidates of the recent
election had been governors of states,
and that number OF our recent pre-
sidents reached the house by the
same path. If any man thinks he has
presidential timber in him, he evid-
emily will try to attain his ambition
by this means.
The governorship of a state offers
far more chance to a man of first
class ability other than any other
political position. A United States
senatorship is commonly considered
higher Office. But the United
States Senate has never been a step
ping stone to the White House.
In the state governorship the ex-
ecutive has great opportunities to
display personal leadership. He is
or ought to be for the time being
the biggest man of the group about
him. If he has sensible, construc-
tive ideas, his position gives him
great opportunities. He can mi.
tiate reforms, systematic business
remove wastes, inaugurate measures
OF social betterment. The news OF
these things spreads beyond state
limits. The politicians from far ant
near keep their eyes on him. ii,

Will Move Sugar
Factory From
Canada to Cache

The boom in sugars caused by the
war. is reviving talk of new factor
les everywhere. In addition to the
plants at Shelley, Idaho. and North
Yakima, Washington, now in course
of construction by the Utah-ldaho
Sugar company, those at Smithfeld,
Utah, Paul and Rupert, Idaho, being
built by the Amalgamated Sugar
company, that at Hamilton, Mont,
now pending by the Montana-Utah
Sugar company. and that proposed
in Sanpete county by the Peoples
Sugar Company. there is still talk
OF two more factories by separate
companies.
The first enterprise is the plant to
be located between Weston and Tren-
ton in Cache county, and promoted
by John A. Hendrickson on the Bear
River of Logan and his associates.
1t is announced today that those in
terested including l.. Stohl OF the
Beneficial Life Insurance company,
have purchased the plant of the
knight Sugar company. located at
Raymond, Canada, and that it will
be removed to this state. The pro-
moters say that the objections Of the
Canadian authorities, which were
made to the removal of the plant
when it was intended to be bought
to Layton, have now been met, aud
that no obstacles will stand in the
way of the dismantling of the factory
The company originally formed by
Mr.. Hendricksen to enter into the
business has undergone number OF
changes, Messrs. John Dern, Geo. T

Wright having withdrawn, and their
places filled by other interests. The
