 STANDPATTISM
Millionaires and Trust Mag. mates Have Long Been
 in Control of G. O. P.

(Political Cores. of The Farmer.)
 Two great conflicting tendencies are striving, for mastery at the coming election. The Republican party rep resents the tendency of men of wealth, of great business power, the aristo- cratic elements in society, to con- trol our government. Jefferson and Jackson fought against it in their age, Wilson, Cleveland, Bryan and other leaders of the people are fighting it still. It is the effort of the common people to control their own govern ment.
 Millionaires and trust magnates have long controlled the Republican party. Many of them are men of great ability. If they would use that ability sincerely and honestly for the public advantage, there would be much to be said in favor of letting them run the government But it is human nature to be influenced by ones own private interest in opinions about public affairs. The millionaire and trust magnate may be honestly con- vinced that he needs a tariff forever sheltering him from European com petition. He may sincerely believe that legislation prohibiting child la bor or throwing safeguards about wo- mems work, may be destructive to business and prosperity.
 In these opinions. consciously or un- consciously, he is working for his own dividends rather than for the ad- vance and welfare of the people.
 Republican government is govern ment by the comfortable and prosper

New York, Oct 2.-Opening.-Deve opments over the weekend, particu- larly the publication of numerous ad- ditional favorable railway statements of earnings, infused strength to in- vestment issues at today's opening. Norfolk & Western rose two points to the new record of 138 7-8, with keen inquiry for other coalers, notably Le- high Valley, Erie ana Reading. " linois C-ntral and Northern Pacific were the other active and strong fea- lures of that division. Industrials, in- cluding United States Steel, American Can. Pressed Steel Car and Colorado Fuel, were higher by one to two points with concurrent gains in leading equipments and metals.
 Noon-The advance met with con- siderable opposition and realizing sales, the removal of support assert ing itself in Steel and other promin- ent industrials which not only sur- rendered early gains but soon fell, to 2 points under last weeks final prices. The tendency in that quar- ter was once more offset. however, by further gains in coalers, Norfolk & Western moving up to 140. Bonds were steady

REMINGTONS LOSE TO
 NEW HAVEN IN SOCCER

New Haven, Oct. 2.-The soccer sea- son opened auspiciously at Beaver park yesterday afternoon when a big crowd turned out to witness New Ha-' ven and the Remington team of Bridgeport play their first fixture in the Connecticut league. New Haven had an easy time and defeated the Park City team to the tune of goals to o. Neither team showed brilliant form early in the game. Valentine met with a slight accident and retired leaving New Haven to play the game out with only ten men. Valentine scored the first goal just 10 minutes from the start. Give and take play followed for the next 20 minutes when Lanquist scored for the locals. This was all the scoring in the first period, which ended 2 goals to for the stripes. Remingtons started the sec ond 45 with a rush an dit looked for a time as if they might be able to score Their forward rank combined badly and they were very weak at the criti- cal moment. Several times they had a chance to score but always failed to take advantage of the opportunity.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1811-Tom Cribb defeated Tom Molineaux in II rounds near Grath- am, Eng. Molineaux, big black negro, was the first American to have a try at the heavyweight champion ship. After having whipped num- Der of good men on this side, Moli- lenged Tom Cribb, the English champion. Their first meeting was staged in December, 1910. The black man proved himself the mas ter but when he had the fight won the crowd interfered and robbed him of the victory which was rightfully his. A second meeting was then ar ranged, and one of the most notable crowds that ever witnessed a prize fight was on hand. Noblemen and wealthy sportsmen were there by the hundreds, and vast sums were wag- cred. Cribb was trained to the min ute, but poor Molineaux had been taken on a tour by Bill Richmond, his colored manager, and had prac- tical1y no training. The black en- tered the ring with the fat hanging in rolls on his back and abdomen. In the first few rounds Molineaux gave Cribb a terrific drubbing, and the champions fine condition en- abIed him to stand the gaff, while Molineaux's lack of training soon told
 upon him, and he was gradually beaten into submission. If he had
 been properly handled, Tom Moli- neauX would doubtless have become the first American worlds champion.

Why the Cord Of Wood Shrinks.

Ralph Faulkner and Henry Stern
berg, students in the College OF For
estry ut the University of Washington
have proved by experiment that cord
Of full-length wood when sawed and
replied in the ordinary stack shrnks
on an average .2.76 per cent. As deal
ers buy wood in full lengths and uSu-
ally measure It for delivery before saw
ing It, they are often accused Of giving
short measure.
A cord" Is the standard measure
ment of wood, and 1t is defined rs 12S
cubic feet of wood, measured by pile
four feet high and eight feet wide of
logs four feet long.
The discrepancy between the cord
as bought by the dealer and as dehy-
cred to the customer, according to
Prof. Hugo Wlnkenwerder, dean Of the
college, is not entirely explained by
the sawdust. When wood is piled up
in four-foot lengths there are many
spaces between sticks, caused by knots
ana curvatures. These spaces are
eliminated when the wood is cut up
small.

ATTEMPT ON LIFE.
OF Gov. SPRY IS
MADE BY |. ". ".

A dastardly attempt on the life Of
Governor Spry and family was made
by some fiend Christmas morning
and only failed of success by the un-
covering of bomb accidentally by
Mr.. Neslen, a neighbor, who was
sweeping a path between the two
homes, his own and that Of the
governor.
The placing Of this internal ma
chine seems to have been accom-
plished when the guard at the home
of the governor was drawn away
from his place by the explosion Of
bomb block away. ostensibly
placed there for that very purpose.
This seems to have been an at
tempt to carry out the threat made
to Governor Spry so many times
since the execution of Joseph Hill
strom, the murderer, by I. w. w.
sympathisers.
Every citizen Of the state rejoic-
ed at the failure of this fiendish
attempt to commit Wholesale murder
and the machinery OF the state and
any other necessary should be en-
ployed to run down these enemies
of law, justice and order.

WHO LEAKED"
Information IN
PEACE MATTER ?

Washington, Dec. 27.-President
Wilson's note to the European belli-
gerents was sent to the newspapers
at eight o'clock in the evening of
Wednesday, Dec. 20. 1t was not to
be released for publication until af-
ter midnight. Yet at about two o.
clock on that day news ticker in
Wall street carried a report that the
President was about to dispatch a
note urging the warning nations to
work out the terms of peace.
These statements were printed in
the New York Times Of Thursday,
Dec. 81, " the course - an article
dealing with the crisis in the stock
market; and there is natural in
quiry here as to who leaked" the
information.
The Presidents note was dated
Monday, Dec. 1S-two days before
1t was given to the press; it was pre-
pared, all reports agree, several
days before that Consequently, its
contents must have been known to
fairly numerous group. Washing
ton gossip has been busy trying to
identify the men who could have
been busy trying to identify the men
who could have had knowledge of
the Presidents purpose-and there
are sinister rumors to the effect that
some people who were "in the know"
did not let the opportunity pass to
pick up some easy profits in the
stock market when securities went
tumbling, as they were bound to, as
soon as the Presidents note became
public property.
The incident serves to emphasize
the power which an administration
holds upon values in this country.
What the Presidents note did upon
a large scale which affected every
industry whose securities are dealt
on the market, can be done to a
lesser degree with individual Sc
curities by any one of a group of
officials whose duties bring them in
to contact with the industrial life
of the nation. This power. it is to
the credit of American public life
to record, has rarely, If ever, been
abused--and 1t Is significant that it
is only within the past few years
that anyone has ever seriously sur
missed that personal gain or any 9TH
er private motive lay behind any
course of action on the governments
part. That such surmises are now
rife Is due in part to the system
which clothes officials with such en-
ormous power and in part to the
askance with which conservative
minded people have come to regard
much of the activity in some circles
OF the present administration.
The remedy is partly legislative
by limiting the power of administra-
tive oilicers-and partly political, by
seeing to it that the government is
lodged in the hands of men and OF
parties immune to sinister influence
The country. however. has just vot-
ed; and it is trite observation that
nation receives that sort of govern
ment which 1t deserves.

RECORD BREAKING MINE

successful operation, treating ore
and old dump material from the
Iron Blossom, Dragon, Swansea and
Black Jack mines. Precipitates con-
tanning high silver were produced
and averaged a car month before
the increase of 100 to 800 tons in
the roasting capacity of the plant.
Large Copper, Lead and Zinc
Increases.
Copper production in Utah broke
all records, increasing from 1877
671,1SS pounds in 1915, to 242,000,-
900 pounds in 1916. an increase of
20 per cent in quantity and over
100000 in value. The gigantic
operations by steam shovel at the
great porphyry copper mine of the
Utah Copper company, kept two
railroad lines busy hauling an aver
age of $1,000 tons of ore daily to
its two concentration mills at Gar
field, 8 miles distant. There were
days when the ore hauled exceeded
1000 tons. At Lark, the Ohio
Copper mill operated on low-grade
copper ores from its mine, which
was in the hands of lessees.
Lead production also surpassed all
former records, increasing from
.199, 967,437 pounds in 1915 to over
215, 100000 pounds in 1916, the in
crease amounting to about 7 per cent
in quantity and over 100000 in
value. A large increase in the out
put of lead was made from the
mines at Bingham. The principal
producers were the Utah Apex, Unit
ed States, Highland Boy, New Haven
and Dalton & Lark properties. The
production of lead from the Tintic
and Park City districts will not be
much greater than in 1915.
Prices for zinc continued high dur
ing the early part of the year, and
much ore and concentrate contain
ing metal was marketed, but the
price broke in May and was low in
June, when a general falling off of
the production was noticeable until
the markets became settled. Alto
gether there were produced about
29,000.OO0 pounds of metallic zinc
by 80 producers, again 24.292.240
pounds by "a producers in 1915. The
increase in value was nearly $1,000
900. No new zinc districts were OPP
ened in 1916, and the largest de-
posts of the higher grade ores were
| about depleted in several districts.
Some spelter was recovered electro
| lytiCally at one experimental plant,
and another was about to start al
the end of the year, its operators
expecting to run it permanently. All
the smelling plants-Murray, Gar
/ field, Midvale, and International.
were operating at full capacity tn,
entire year.
Dividends were paid by % min
, ing companies, amounting to abou
$24,AOAS2O, as against $9,S27,52t
in 1915.
