Of, by, and for the Republican party llrst, last and always. Tlio largo corporations, commonly 'j called trusts, though organized In one t state, always do business In many ' states, often doing very little busl- , ncss lu the slate where they arc incor- , - porated. There Is utter lack of mil- , fortuity in the state laws about them; M l and as no state lias any exclusive H h ; t Interest In or power over their acts, B J it has In practice piovcd Impossible B i to get adequate regulation through !i state action. Therefore, In the Intor- j1 est of the whole people, the nation I should, without Interfering with the ' power or the slates lu the matter it- . self, also assume power of supervision j, and regulation over all corporations doing an Interstate business Prcsl- ; dent Roosevelt in message to Con- ' H B ''rof. W. M. Stephens, superlntcn- ident of tho Sioux City, Iowa Schools, in a public addicss, has made some startling criticisms of modem eduea- H H Hon of gills. He said that Sioux City B I patents weie "mad" because they do- H j sired the education of tlic mind only. B ''A girl might better fall ignominious- ily in history than fall to keep her room In order," was one of the state- h s incuts made by Prof. Stephens. The , ' professor scoted other alleged fallacies K t concerning the education of girls.

I ir t The recent Legislaltne made an I appropriation of $12,000 to be used H 5 partially In experimenting on dry ' j and arid lands. There arc over one hundred men living In Cache County B , ' and possibly that many In I Sox Elder BB ' j county who own land In Pocatcllo BB ' and llluo Creek valleys. The state ,1 ( - of Utah also owns hundreds If not BB "? vj thousands of acres of good laud In BB ji il those localities. It might be an op- BB I j J port line time for the land owners In BB '; the above named counties to unite BB . 'j' in tt) lug to secure some of the appro- BB i J ' l priatlon to be used in that locality. BB l ll The object In view is worth the eifort. BB i &j AVe understand the Hoard of Regents B J S of the Agricultural College has the H I J H disposition of the money. Parties BB J l m Interested should get together atonce, H j ; present a petition at the proper time BB ' yffi and place, and Unci whether or not BB f ft ' somo attention can not be drawn In H i 'I that direction. Such things do not B J I IE B i 1 usually come wlthoutasking. If It can BB B bo demonstrated that hardy grasses H H can bo grown on these lands, It will be H a. proved that these valleys arc some of BB the best wintering grounds in tho 1 state, having the advantage of being In a country that is used now for late fall and early spring ranges. The advantages thus derived would be incalculable. Tho news comes from Hear Rivet-Valley, Rivet-Valley, where tho Utah Sugar company com-pany Is building a now factory, that H ' there Is considerable agitation regard- BH j lug tho company importing Japs Into B U I that locality. Tho Sugar Company BB ' '. i owns hundreds of actes of good beet BH ;i' ji laud adjacent to their factory, on BB jl ',j which they expect to plant beets. BB 'r 'j Owing to the demand for labor every BBk ' ,j where raihoad building and a gen- BBT' 'j ; oral building boom on every hand It BB seems that every available white man BB i l is engaged. If no white labor can be BB i procured to weed and tliln the huti- ' , ' dreds of acres of beets that the com- !', ? pany expect 'to plant, what can the "'. company doV It Is understood that , I ; the company is w llllng to contract tho BB' I ' working of their beet ctop to te.spon- Bfl' slble white men and let them have BBBB BH . tho labor of the Japs at cost. AVc do Hi f not favor In a general way the Itnpor- H! tatlon of such labor, but when the h ' time arrive.1-;, as It appears to have B done at the icsciit, when wl.lto men B, i can not be procured, industries can B j, i j nit attord to bo stagnuted through the H 1i j 1 uny shape.

There arc, however, how-ever, not many white men that would care to get down upon their knees to weed beets as the Japs will do. In fact, In these times, It Is a cheaper labor than white men care to do, as there arc other occupations to be tilled by them that are far more lucrative. Even the few beets raised in this valley last year made it necessary to hire scores of Indians to help out In the weeding, thinning and topping. All these labor questions as they arise, should be considered well from lwth sides. When foreign labor can do t he w ork that home workmen cannot do.lt. seems that there cannot be much harm come out of it. If, however, the time should come, when the Jap, Chinese, or Indian labor would seriously ser-iously Injure the laboring classes of tho whlto peoplo on a competitive basis, we should say It was time then to call a halt. Rut In the above Instance we cannot see wherein It will materially effect the white labor in any way. |
