About That Sugar Allowance.

1t is said that many local people have
been unable to procure any supply of
sugar for canning purposes, grocers
having been restricted in the sale of
sugar to the individual ration of two
pounds per month. For a time sugar
cards We're issued by local grocers
which entitled the holders to certain
amounts for canning purposes, but this
order was later reScinded by the food
administrator
1t is noticed, however, that in some
counties of. the state the county food
administrators are telling the people
through the newspapers of "A method
whereby they can procure sugar in linn
tied AMOUNT for preserving fruit and
other foods, and there is no apparent
reason why the same rule should not
hold good in all counties of the state.

say If so, he has been II rather incon-
spicuous individual, and We have found
no one who knows his name or where

In some northern counties of Wyom-
ing. county foo administrators are
publishing the following notice:
Persons who have failed to sign APP
plications for sugar to be used for can
ming purposes only, prior to August LIST,
can secure same on the following basis (:

1t will indeed be an undisguised
blessing to have the town ordinance
dealing with loose stock enforced by
the municipal officials. Announcement
is made elsewhere in his issue of The
Sun that on and after September 9Th
the ordinance is to be strictly enforced.
Such announcements have been made
before, in an effort to get stock owners
to keep uD their horses, cows and other
animals. which We're allowed to run at
large within the town to the great an
noyance of and damage to other resi-
dents, but little attention was paid to
the notices. and it has now come to
"A pass where the matter will be taken
up in earnest and owners of loose stock
made to pay the penalty provided
therefor in the ordinance dealing with

Marshal Phillips should receive the
active support and cooperation of all
fair-minded people in his efforts to
abate this nuisance, and anyone who
doubts his authority in the matter
should read the extracts from the town

DEMOCRACY VS..
A~UTOCRACY.

What must be the thoughts of EN-
peror Wilhelm as he reads of Quentin
RooSevelt's death? ON the one hand
four sons of a man who ruled the
mightiest of nations go forth to fight
and to die. ON the other. the six sons
of an hereditary monarch are coddled
and petted back of the lines. They live
like sybarites, while the poor peasants
and workers die to give them Il place
in the sun, to permit them to strut
about in shining armor that never is
to be drenched with blood from a
wound suffered in defense of their
country or the soft privileges that
come to them by inheritance.
1t is Il contrast that is typical of
autocracy and democracy. 1t discloses
the gap between the ideals of military
despotism and of a peace-loving repub-
lie. On the one hand despotism de-
mands all on the other democracy
gives all. Despotism sacrifices all but
itself; democracy sacrifices itself for
all.-Salt Lake Tribune.

THE KAISER'S
PHOTOGRAPH.

\ letter written by Kaiser Wilhelm
to a certain Frau Meter is receiving de-
served publicity. 1t reads
His majesty, the kaiser, hears you
have sacrificed nine sons in defense of
he fatherland in h present war. His
majesty is immensely gratified at the
fact, and in recognition is pleased to
send you his photograph with frame
and an autograph signature"
The letter inevitably reminds Ameri-
can readers of the message sent by
President Lincoln to Mrs. BiXby of
Massachusetts, who had lost five sons
in the Civil war-because it is so diff
ferent.
Il feel" said Lincoln. chow weak
and fruitless must be any words of
mine which should attempt to beguile
you from the grief of II loss so over
whelming. But l cannot refrain from
rendering you the consolation that may
be found in the thanks of a republic
they died to save. l pray that our
Heavenly Father may assuage the an
guish of your bereavement, and leave
you only the cherished memory of the
loved and lost, and the solemn pride
that must be yours TO have laid so
costly a sacrifice upon the altar of
freedom"
We turn back from this heartfelt
of warm, human sympathy
and read again the kaiser's brutal ten
of his photograph with frame and
an autograph signature" in full pay
ment for the sacrifice. of nine sons in
the furtherance of his imperial ambi-
ton.
Possibly hat letter with photograph
ic enclosure really did comfort the
mother of those boys. Possibly n Ger
man mother holds her kaiser in such
high esteem that what looks to us like
an incredible insult brings her consola-
tion. Is not the kaiser Gods anointed,
and neXt to Him in majesty and pow
cr? n vet. we doubt it.
Motherhood must be pretty much the
same the world over. The thing that
is not the same is the political system,
bred in the bone. which in one case
makes the head of the nation the
spokesman of that nations finest feel
ing. and in the other makes him an in
calnation of soullesS egotism.-Aber-
