Protecting Banks In Mexico.

American bankers are being urged by
bankers OF Great Britain and France 20
form an American subcommittee from
the recently appointed international
committee expected TO safeguard foreign
interests in Mexico The problem Of
the rehabilitation OF the foreign banks
in Mexico city is one which most OF the
foreign bankers think should be made
the subject OF special study and atten-
ton of men particularly fitted for the
task. Although the American banking
interests in Mexico city are compare =

AMERICAN PROGRESSIVE OPINION

tag much more distinctive badge of pub
lie, service Meanwhile, whether it lives
up to that opportunity or not the vital

tied States-unorganized and not yet dis
tinctivey represented as yet by any party
tag-7a great body of live, sound Ameri-
can opinion, prudent, sensible, yet pro-
gressive, determined at bottom that this
nation, already offering to its people the,
best conditions and the fairest opportun-
tiles that any great number of people ev-
er have enjoyed on this earth, shall push
steadily on by rational experimenting
until its conditions and opportunities
reach the attainable ideal; equally deter

democracy and progress come in its way.
That saving American opinion demands
reasonably honest, efficient service from
its elected servants. Irrespective of par

OUR PIONEERS

We are reminded by the passing of so
many of our noble pioneers lately that
this mighty commonwealth is the work
of their hands. AS the state grows In
greatness and prosperity we realize more
and more the debt we owe to them.
Had they been men of feeble mettle,
like those first settlers of Virginia who
were too proud to work, they would have
been daunted by their task at the very
outset.
The successful migration across the
plains was-a notable victory in itself For
men adventuring by themselves it would
have been no easy task; for the pioneers,
their wives and their children it was an
achievement seldom equalled in all the
history of pioneering. And after their ar
rival their work and their trials grew to
titantic proportion, but their faith and
fervor in their courage and sturdy up
Brightness, they preserved and gained the
triumph for themselves, for their children
and for the state and nation.
No wonder that the sons of such pion-
GERS have become famous in the councils
and offices Of the state, in the halls of
congress and in the cabinets of presi-
dents. We can see them, aye and the wo-
men of Utah, achieving today in educa-

ton, science, art, music and literature, not
only here at home, but in the centers of
culture. And here at home the successors
of the pioneers continue the work of their
fathers, making of Utah one of the sound
est states in the union. They have not on
ly made it rich and powerful but they
have protected it from those immoral and
anarchic influences which are destroying
civilization in many parts of the world

DELAY HELPED BOLSHEvIsM

The gravest danger confronting this
country today is the menace of Bolshev-
ism. The nation is being deluged with
propaganda to pave the way for revolu-
ton and the destruction of established
government. The documents unearthed
by senate are astouning in the boldnoss
with which they preach all sorts OF oppc-
sition to governmental organization. The
publications vary in size from postcards
to books and are printed in number OF
languages. Workers, farmers and sol.
diers are appealed to to resist all those
in positions of authority, and indictments
to rob, burn and murder abound in much
of the literature. a.a
While some of the papers are in IT,
form of posters and leaflets to be handed
to individuals, most of them. are intended
for distribution through the mails. Az
parently nothing is being odne to deny the
use of one Of the great instrumentalitlcs
of the government by those who conspire
to its overthrow There is ampla author
ity in the espionage law for the postmas-
ter general to prevent anarchists ard
other plotters against the established or
der of things for using the mails in the
furtherance of their schemes. n &~
The Bolshevists evidently see in the
Presidents utterances an invitation to
upset existing institutions, and displace
leaders by individuals selected precisely
as has been done in Russia. Prominence
is given by the Bolshevists to Mr.. Will
sons prediction of "the birth of a new
day." Every sign of these terrible days
of war and revolutionary change" said
he, "when economic and social forces are
being released upon the world whose eff
feet no political seer dare venture to con
lecture, bids us search our hearts through
and make them ready for the birth of
new day, we hope and believe, of greater
opportunity and greater prosperity for
the average mass of struggling men and
women"
While at first glance such statement
appears to breathe lofty sentiment for
the improvement of social conditions,
and in normal times would be accepted
without comment, in these days of unrest
it has been seized upon by the social rev.
olutionists to support their anarchistic
propaganda. They see in it an invitation
to the 'mass of struggling men and we
men, to get ''readyfor the birth of new
day. and very naturally interpret it to
mean that they shall rise up and over
throw the standards of former days.

Johnnie Cook, with his dogs, killed
the last we heard of. New York has
q fund to pay farmers for sheep killed
by dogs. Predatory animal associa-
tions are formed in some of the stock
growing states TO protect themselves
from wolves, cats, etc. By various
means one county collects cents per
head on sheep and cattle for this pur-
pose. In other places focl1masters en-
courage the keeping of dogs by farm
ers. A sheep-killing dog is murder
er and will often go many miles in
night to accomplish his purpose and
be back home in the morning, so the
killer might be hard to locate. Our
farms are small, and there are prob
ably no more dogs in proportion to
the number Of farms in this state
than in many others. Yes, we have
more dogs than sheep, or elephants or
aflinities or appendicitis, or many
things that other richer states have.
Get a start in sheep and take care Of
them. Don't wait for dog legislation.
A politician couldn't touch that kind

" do more towards riding the coun-
try of surplus dogs than heavy taxa

PUT ABAD LUCK" IN DISCARD
When the Game of Life Is Analysed,
There Is No Such Thing to
BE Found.

There is no such thing as "bad
luck" The belief in 1t is. a gross SUI
perstition. II is claimed that there is
lot of luck ia poker. Ny observa-
ton has been that the man who wins
at poker consistently is merely the
best player of poker. There are some
who have a run of luck" But if
the run" lasts three minutes the OPP
posite "runn generally lasts equally
long. If the good luck holds up fol a
year, the bad luck appears during the
next year. Any habituaI card-player,
unless he is a very poor player or
an unusually good one. will tell you
that his winnings and losses just
about counterbalance.
In poker, as in life, the final deter
mining factor is skill, knowledge of
the game, patience, taking advantage
of opportunities. If you hav a pre-
monition that you are going to fail
in an undertaking you are promising
yourself disaster In advance, you are
merely saying to yourself: II know
/ am not equal to that. I'll fall down
on it, sure" Dismiss the preiaonition.

Nothing connected with the history
Of aviation is more remarkable than
the way In which the weather difficult

On exaggeration to say that at the

There is no means OF keeping ones

of low-lyng clouds. The compass
tells which way the machine is point
ing at any moment, but not the di-
rection in which it IS flying. except
when travelling exactly with or
against the wind. There are no land
marks in the air. Even more serious
is the problem OF landing in a fog.
The chances are always considerable
Of striking dangerous obstacles, such
as trees, buildings. or telegraph wires,
or of alighting in bodies Of water,

United States Animals

The first rear adinirals in the United
States navy were commissioned in 1862
when that rank was created By act OF
congress. David Farragut, for his valor
IN the civil war, was made VIC admir-
al in 1864. and two years later the
rank of admiral in the United States
navy was established for the purpose
of honoring him. The grade of admiral
was revived in 1890 and conferred up
on George Dewey, the hero OF Manila.
The highest rank Of American naval
officers In active service was, up to
short time ago, that Of rear admiral.
The title OF admiral was first used In
France, and the first French admiral
was appointed In 1894. A few years
later The title was adopted By the Eng
