then there is need of a commission on
imbecility. with authority to incarcer
ate the citizens of all except two states
in the Union. Delaware and Utah.
Day after day the Salt Lake paper
prints columns Of information" and
editorial opinion to prove the people
of other states are fools and do not
know their own affairs.
One instance may be cited. Pages
have been printed in Utah's capital
which, if in the smallest degree true
would condemn former Governor John
son as rascal or an ass against whom
the state of California should have a
grievance so intense as to consign the
Progressive leader to Limbo, or some
other place of total darkness. What
are the facts? Johnson's conduct OF
state affairs has been so highly pleas
ing to the citizens Of all classes as to
mark the man the most popular
candidate who ever aspired to office
in the Golden state.
Idaho is pointed to as a state where
the public utilities law is opposed.
What opposition has been manifested
is not because the law Is too radical.
The demand Is that the measure
should be made more exacting.
The railroad officials in Utah should
begin to realize they are manufac-
turing adverse public sentiment by
constantly fighting progressive meas
ures. 1t would be wisdom on their
part to yield to whatever just demands
are made, trusting to the high sense
of honesty inherent In the people Of
this state to quickly correct any abuse
of power which might come from over
zealousness on the part of extremists.
No one desires to see the railroads
by legislative red tape, or
rates, or unreasonable
commissioners. The aim is TO take
from any private group of men within
the state the tremendous power of rail-
road discrimination and bring the bus.
mess under the intense light Of pub
licity, where irregularities may be dis
closed and uDfairness made unmistak
ably offensive.
Our railroads are necessary to the
development Of the state. They are
to the growth of Utah |
md should be encouraged. Their rates
should continue high enough to allow
| good margin Of profit and surplus
or improvements and extensions.
Their profits are of minor considera-
Ion. The essential thing is to dis
POSSESS the roads OF the power to
dominate and discriminate-to make
hem servants. and not masters, of
he people Of Utah. This is not an
Indictment of the railroad officials
ow in command, but, rather, precau-
ionary advice.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Another in.
Quiry was sent by the state depart,
ment today to Ambassador EIkus at
Constantinople. to develop why he had
not been able to report about the
marooned Americans detained in Asia
Minor Since the break with Germany
no word has been allowed to reach
this country either from CONSTANT

II developed today that the naval
collier Caesar loaded with a quarter

All Communications Cut or.
Much surprise exists here over the
cutting off OF all communication with
Turkey and Bulgaria where the United
States is responsible not only for ey-
tensive American interests but also is
representing some Of the belligerent
powers.
Alarm Is Arousd
The plight OF the thousand AmerI.
cans who have been detained more
than year by the Turkish military
authorities despite assurance of the
Turkish foreign office that they would
be released is arousing alarm here
because the whole section is largely
destitute OF food and is known to be
infected with disease.
Turkey, after Deremptory demands
agreed to allow the Americans to
leave but the Turkish military direc.
tor there refused for a long time on
the ground that the refugees would
take away military information.
Both the Des Moines and the Caesar
were en- route to rescue the Americans
when the break with Germany threw |
all the arrangements into confusion |
limitations also have been received
that the Turks intended to hamper or
totally prevent distribution of the
Caesars relief supplies if they could. |

WORLDS MARKETS

New York, Feb 1.-THE market be-
came increasingly apathetic during the
forenoon, with partial recoveries rom
early irregularity, except in specific
instances. Sugar issues reflected lat
est conditions in Cuba, a siX.point drop
in Cuban-American Sugar being offset
by twelve-point gain in South Porto
RICO Sugar presumably on the theory
that the latter might benefit by the
disadvantages Of the former. Rails
failed to follow up their improvement
of the previous day, four~point de-
cline in Delaware and Hudson and
new minimum for New Haven at 38 IA
being among the chief incidents of
that division. A new low quotation Of

The Bleachers
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
l wish to write o you on a
subject that l think you can do
more good than anybody know
Of.
That is the moving back of the
first base bleachers at the Tacoma
Athletic park to where they be-
long; that is. where they we're In
the first place.
/ have attended the games here
quite regularly and l think / can
say that about 90 per cent of the
people that go in the bleachers
think the same as l do and that
is that while the first base bleach
ers are where they are now we are
being cheated out of something
that really belongs to us.
] think II you will count the
autos at the park you will find
as have that on an average there
are more machines on the outside
of the park than there are inside
the grounds.
Tacoma used to have some pref
ty good crowds at the games, but
since the changing of those bleach
ers, which | think was McGinnity' s
idea, I have never seen a good
sized crowd up there. You can do
what you want to with this slip,
but get Russ Hall to move those
bleachers back. Thanking you for
your trouble,
Yours truly,
CHARLIE LANDRY.

better than to have "A Booster"
work alongside of me one week
and hold up his side all the time.
l am thinking his recreation in the
evening would be short. The
healthiest people In the world are
the farmers, and they get out and
work an hour or two before break
fast, and so get an appetite to
|eat.

Booster" does that II he has a gar

my argument that the extra hour

my opinion on a subject as "A
Booster" without singing quite

A Dry Nation

EDITOR THE TINES:
Last year at least $4,000, 900
bushels Of grain was used in the
United States in the manufacture
of alcoholic drinks.
In addition to this 100000
gallons of molasses was used in
the production of distilled spirits.
The grain destroyed would have
furnished loaf of bread every day
of the year to 100000 families.
In the form of liquor 1t cost at
