DAT, the nrsonal representative of Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota, was In Ogden yesa terday. While here he made It a point to call upon secret no He made Democrats. of the number leading of his mission. He la in the west tiv the Interest of the presidential candidacy of Governor Johnson. All that Mr. Day auks of the Democrats of Utah, in fact all he aaka of the Democrats of any state, Is that conventhey send unlnatructed delegates to the national tion to be held In Denver July 7 neat. . Friends of W. J. Bryan, who And it Impossible to consider any other man In connection with the Democratic oinlnatlun. will Jump to the conclusion that this la part of a deep suggestion for uninstructed ( will plot on th part of th money power" to defeat the of th people. This la not necessarily true. It la true that Mr. Bryan has alwaya been n strong favorite with tha Democrats of Utah. Utah gave him the best vote ha received In any atata in th union In 1896. But It rejected him four years later, and is it not certain that It would not reject him again this year. Thera ia a feeling abroad aiming tha Demarrata of the nation that aome other man at the head of the ticket might prove to be much stronger this year than Mr. Bryan. This feeling is not confined to any locality It crops out in every state, even In those which have heretofore been most enthusiastic for the Nebraskan. TMs being true why ehoud the delegates from any state be tied to any particular candidate? A national convention should be n deliberate body, and not an aggregation of errand boys. Aa a prominent local Democrat said yesterday a well send .postal cards to tho national convention aa to send delegates completely muscled and lied to a particular candidate In n way that deprives them of all discretion in the matter. Mr. Bryan haa no proprietary title to th delegation from Utah. He should be willing to take hla chances In the convention on common ground with nil others who cere to enter tho race. If h is able to demonstrate that he Is the beet man for ""tha leadership after the situation haa been thoroughly canvassed and all elements of the party have had a fair hearnlg out 1 the open then he la entitled to th leadership and It will mean something to him and to his party. But the case should remain open end every delegate should remain n free moral agent until the hearing la complete. Wisdom would seem to dictate that dean, able men whoa party l.alty la undoubted should be chosen as national delegates men in whom the rank and file have confidence, and then those men should be permitted to use their best Judgment after ell the factors In the problem had been carefully weighed. We have little patience with the cry so often raised that every move In favor of an open contest, or In favor of a candidate other than Mr. Bryan Is treason to principle. It would be a sad slate of affairs If all the principle "f the nation were monopolised by Mr. Bryan and hla immediate backers. What la said here with reference to the Democrats applies with equal force to the Republicans. The State Journal favors unlnatructed delegates because It believes In a fair fight In an open field. c. Dear Sir: Kindly allow me a liberty of asking you business which I am sincerely hoping your kind agreement. 1 am a Japanese student in this country, desiring to be a reporter to American paper, I have been studying English these three years, though not quite well yet. If 1 may be able to be a reporter to your paper, I shall be very glad to accpet the employment. As being a Japanese. I am quite sure that I have much advantage in obtaining the knowledge concerning Japanese in This country or in Japan, and also I read Japanese publications, I ain very sure that I can offer you a great deal of good articles pertaining Japan; anything that appears valuable shall be promptly translated into English. Morover. I have many friends among the editorial staff of Japanese publishing companies In this state or in California. I can avail them in gaining the news. I not. at present writing to any papers, but I have mruh experience in contributing to Japanese papers in Japanese; now it is my sole desire .to be a reporter to American paper. Tou can. of course, apparently see the truth that I am not a good writer in English at present; but I have much energy and aspiration to master it soon; shall be a good writer. I am very sure. If thla letttr. happily, coulj invite your curiosity to secure a Japanese among your reporters, I wl 1 do my very best for your paper. At closing thla letter I sincerely beg your pardon of this rudeness of impudence. Touh truly, G. T. TOYODA. f THE FARMER AT THE FRONT UDGE C. C. GOODWIN in the Balt Lake Telegram calla attention to the great work being done by the department of agriculture. What the Judge haa to say is to the point and Justified by the facta. He says: It la only about twenty years since the department of agriculture waa established in our country and a very modeat little sum was set aalde to maintain it This year congress haa appropriated 811,000,000 for Its use. We think this ia a deserved compliment to Becre-tary Wilson and his corps of experts. In our Judgment they are doing more good than la being done In any other branch of the government. In fighting the diseases of plants and animals; In experimenting to determine what Useful plants are beet adapted to different oollo and climates; In Importing rare and valuable fruits and plant and acclimating them; in backing and supporting the agricultural schools; In efforts to Improve the breeds of different valuable domestic animals and blrda; In lifting aa It is. the pursuit of agriculture and horlculture Into the realm of exact science, the department of agriculture haa done man good to the country under Secretary Wilson' a administration than has been --Jl on in any other branch of the government service for the welfare of th country. And what has so far been dona la but a begin, ning, much mor la in store for the future. The appropriation la none too large, J 1 A HOBSONS CHOICE T ia not likely that a reign of terror will folow the of Richard Pearson Hobson's maiden speech In Congress. "The Hero of the Merrlmac" sees all aorta of destruction headed for the shores of America. In hla opinion the bars are down bothon the Atlantic and Pacific, and nothing can have the little remant of a nation left but a powerful navy to walta up and down the Atlantic coast while another powerful navy ia guarding every port of entry on the Pacific. Thla la all preliminary on Lieutenant Hobaon'a part (saying that thla Congress must provide for four battleships Instead of two. There may be good reasons for saying that four battleships should be provided for at thla time; but fear of Invasion by England and Japan combined, or by Invasion by any other nation or combination of nations la not one of the reasons. After Hobson has been In Congreaa longer he will discover that It la easier to get legislative results by appealing to the pride and arrogance of the American people rather than by appealing to their fear. I delivery IDAHO ON THE FIRIN3 LIM3 DAHO bids fair to be the liveliest state politically in the entire west this year. Certainly our neighbor to the north has more politics to the square foot now than any other in sight. The Democrats are In a melee. The only real point at issue seems to be Fred T. Dubois. The result will demonstrate whether or not Duobis la the Democratic party of Idaho. In the Rrpub.lcan camp the Issue 1 broader, but In this cump It appears from this distance to be a fight fur the spoils rather than a fight fur principle. There Is strong opposition to Secretary Taft as the presidential candidate and a strong sentiment for Senator LaFollette. There Is a struggle for the gubernatlonal nomination with Slate Chairman Brady In the lead, and there 1s a fight for every position great and small all the way down the line. Idaho stands a good chance of being known aa the Indiana of the wrest I MARKED FOR DEFEAT ATEBT reports from Washington make It clear that the Aldrich bill will be defeated In the lower hous. of Congress. Information to this effect was conveyed to President Roosevelt yesterday. It Is a safe prediction now that there will be, no financial legislation at this session. Should the Alrich bill manage to get through the House It will be In such modified form that Its author would not recognise It This is Just as well. No serious result will follow If the Aldrich bill Is never heard of again. Should It sleep the sleep that knows no waking in some obscure pigeon hole In some committee rooj at the natlnal capital the country will go right along as though nothing serious had happened The panic that led to the preparation of the Aldrich bill has passed away. There Is no crying need Just now for emergency cuirency. Confidence Is returning to the centers of business and industry, and confidence Is vtirth more to this country that, all ' the hurry-u- p currency bills that were ever written. What ia needed is what was indicated by Congress man Hill to President Roosevelt yesterday a commission to lay the foundation for a complete revision of the currency laws of the country. There are enough patches on it now without the Aldrich bill. By all means let us have the right kind of a commission composed of not quack politicians; let that commission get busy while Congress Is out electing a president; let it lay the foundation for a comprehensive monetary and baking system on scientific principles; let the necessary laws be enacted to put this system Into force, and then let the whole subject be divorced from politics. Thla is a great deal to expect, but It Is the line along which the question can b permanently aettled. L ay tA catch-aa-catch-c- an HANDLE WITH CARE of these big atatemen are as sensitive as prltna An Illustration of thla Is furnished In the refusal of William J. Bryan to speak in New York on Jefferson day. At first h accepted the Invitation of the National Democratic club. Then a movement was started to have another celebration at which oGvernor John A Johnson. Judge George Gray and Judge Judson Harmon were to speak. When Mr. Bryan heard of this he wtlhdrew his acceptance of the Invitation and will keep away from New York. There are 4.000,000 Inhabitants In greater New York. Surely among that many there could be found a sufficient number of Democrats to furnish audiences for all the men named, and nt this distance It would seem that the other men named have as much right to speak In greater New York on Jefferson day as has Mr. Bryan.
