The order of the Encouragement

In Salt Lake City, the United States

the refiners are making a profit of
fourteen and a quarter cents q pound.
What is the petty n cent allowed
jobbers and the two cents allowed

by the producer? Why should the

cents a pound in his sales to the job

the jobber and retailer. in short, be
singled out for discipline while the
chief offenders are permitted to con
tinue their outrageous proiteering?
Undoubtedly there are retailers
who are greatly to blame and in man.

by the home newspapers for years

But the retailers have been petty of

the retiners and spectators.

there have been a dozen other flashes

The other day, a friend of ours who
had moved into another house took
Sunday to s~traighttn things out and
bring order out of chaos. He juggled
the piano around six or seven rooms
to see how it would match up with
the wall paper, and got all bet up,
and then went out and sat down in
the brisk spring breezes and caught
a cold, showing up downtown next
day with a crouch as big as the
Statue of Liberty that is out in New
York harbor doing a bum job at en-
tightening the world, and declared
that he intended to start a new poll
teal party that would do away with
Sundays altogether.
Just because it happens to be Sun

down in poison oak and come back

THE FARM
LABOR SHORTAGE

The government and business COM
munity must set to work to turn the
tide of lahor toward the farms. Every
immigrant should be urged, en-
couraged, and assisted to go into the
country. instead of herding in the
cities.
But farm labor will never be sufi-
cient while factory wages remain alb
normally high. Pressure should be
brought to bear on manufacturers and
middlemen to reduce prices. so that
cost of living and wages can come
down ear a reasonable level. Farm
ing cannot be proitably done at pres
ent prices of products while wages
remain where they are.

PARAGRAPHS
"A LITTLE NONSENSE NOW
AND THEN Is RELISHED BY
THE BEST OF MEN,

This is what Collier asks in the
Globe Democrat: And what do the
school histories say about prohibit
tion-anything?" We think not. Ihe
school histories have not yet settled
the battles and problems of the Civil
War.
So many old soaks have got on the
water wagon of late without dire con
sequences that others should take
courage and also make the expert
ment. Water is not at all dangerous
to the human system once n gers
used to it.
Another thing that unsettles the
business and industrial situation is
that there are entirely too many peo-
pie getting big money they do not
work for. And what the world needs
now more than the money of men Is
the work of men.
1t begins to look now as though
we are going to have to feed the Ger
mans until they get on their feet
enough to pay indemnities, but this
pious family journal cannot say right
out in print what it is in favor Of
feeding some of them.
TIT
Presenting that Acknowledgement
Palmer's threats and promises have
been carried out, as he has repeatedly
assured us all they would be, the
jails and pe~nitentiaries must be aw-
fully crowded by this time with the
.rascally profteers.

The Rev. William Sunday is of the
opinion that the ex-kaiser should be
permitted to drink nothing but Bel
gian tears. Would not a more ade-
quate punishment be to compel the
ex-kaiser to memorize a number of
Mr.. Sundays sermons?
The dispatches that the
prices are rising in Africa, and that
now a man has to pay as high as
four COWS for the ordinary sort of
wife that he used to buy for four
spearheads. Maybe the luxury tax
has struck that country.
1t is well enough for folks and
officials to understand that self-de-
termination" and selfish determine
ton are by no can synonymous.
Matrimony should be a mutual con-
eession. Metaphorically speaking, the
husband should be deaf and the wife
blind.
Here is a prophesy to chew on, no
matter how unwelcome: Owing to
race suicide and wars the white races
are diminishing, while the yellow
races are multiplying like guinea
pigs. AT this rate, in a few more
hundred years the yellow races will
spread out all over the world and
rule it absolutely.

"Severencc of diplomatic relations,

According to Ma 500, presiding off =

OF China, "Chinese have suffered more
than any other nation as the result of
Mexican outrages."
Mexico has no Chinese expulsion

The loss of property and Chinese
lives during the last few years in Mexico
lars worth of merchandise owned by
Chinese merchants has been contiscated
by Mexican rebels and outlaws for
which there has been no pretense
of reparation by the Mexican Govern
ment.
But the wanton taking Of lives, the
Chinese killed without cause or provo
cation, is the worst feature and the
greatest cause for grievance.
Most Of the mercantile business In
Mexico is done by the Chinese. In
some states in Mexico Chinese have
been compelled to subscribe to revolu-
tionary enterprises without number.
Mr.. 500 said he had appealed to the
State Department at Washington for
permission for Chinese to cross the
Mexican border into the United States
when pressed by rebels or outlaws. This
measure of protection was granted, he

PACT MADE PUBLIC
Terms Of Defensive Military
Alliance Sent to
Washington
LEAGUE TO RECEIVE DRAFT
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Aug. 3.-General terms
of the defensive military alliance be-
tween France and Belgium, as drawn
up by Marshal Foch, Of the French
army, and the Belgian chief of staff,
were received here today in official
cirles.
Military support of France by Bel
gium in future armed conflicts is pledged
upon condition that France prove not
to have been the aggressor. Belgium
also reserves the right to remain neutral
in all disputes between the interests of
France and other nations in Frances s
colonial possessions. Details as to
Frances pledge to Belgium have not yet
been received.

CATION. the terms will be submitted to

lowing Similar action by the British and
japanese Governments in advising the
league that future drafts of the Anglo
japanese alliance would be submitted
to the league in order to bring its
provisions in conformity with the aims
Of the league.
The general lines of the agreement
were drawn up in June at the time of
the visit Of the Belgian chief of staff to
Paris 70 consult with Marshal Foch.
Attempts Of Belgium to induce Great
Britain to join with France in the
defensive alliance, the official adviCes
stated, have so far been in vain. The
last visit of King Albert to London
was said to have been in the interest
Of influencing a favorable decision by
Great Britain. The unresponsiveness of
the British Government was attributed
TO disapproval of the precipitateness Of
Belgium in extending with France the
occupation of Germany in April with
out first having obtained the sanction
Of the Supreme Council.
