Tho changing of namos does not chango the principles. It was thp Standard's intention to remain faithful to the Progressive Progres-sive pnjrty In Utah, bollovlng it only a question of timo when the Republican party of Utah would, espouse the Progressive doctrines. There cannot bo any good reasori why progressive Republican1 should join tho Democratic party v when the groat foundfctlon principle princi-ple of both the Progressive party Und the Republican partjl are protecting the east and tho south. The Democratic party in power has placed most of Utah's principal Industries In-dustries on the froo list while protectlngt ho oast and tho south. Utahs best Interests should be supported by every citizen of Utah. The cry raised by the Salt Lake Tribune thqt tho Progressives and Democrats shoufd get together In order to dofoat Reed Smoot doci not meet a responsive chord In tho Standard office Rocd Smoot has won a, name and place for hlmsolf In "the United States senate sen-ate and, on that record, Is entitled to support. Lading asldo Reed Smoots political standing, wo feel that ho Is entitled to tho support of the people of Utah as a man, as a citizen, as a statesman, and on tho record ho hhs made for Utah, whllo ho has been in tho senate Slnco tho Progressive leadors are negotiating to transfer tho Progressives to tho Democratic party, wo repudlato the entire leadership of the Progressive cause in Utah and will cafst our lot again with the Republican cause. In doing this, we do so with tho full belief that the Republicans of Weber county are fully as Progressive Progres-sive as tho Progressives of Weber county aro and more Progressive than tho alleged Progressive leaders lead-ers In Sfllt Lako City who havo proved traitors to tho cause. BRYAN IN DOUBLE ROLL In tho matter of Chautauqua scr-vlco scr-vlco Mr. Bryan, our distinguished Secretary of Stato, appears to make such replies h.s tho spirit dictates, geography perhaps being considered, and w Ithout any groat regard for consistency. con-sistency. Replying to an Inquiry from a Paris newspaper Mr. Bryan said: For many years past I havo lectured lec-tured to Chautauqua associations. I fall to seo why I should give them up now that I am secretary of stato President Wilson does not disap prove. It is truo that my lectures are interspersed in-terspersed between various turns, but those are Necessary to hold au-i dlences during morning, afternoon, and evening sessions, lit I speak an educational subjects only. It Is for this object that T give the lectures not .for a lucra-tlve lucra-tlve end. When speaking to his own people he assumes a different role, vfnd makes no roforencotto the educational education-al phase of the question. It Is tho "Making a Living" that ajbsorbs Wm on American soil, and In order o in-croaso in-croaso his Income he prescribes as follows: When I announced that I found it necessary! to supplement my official of-ficial Income and that I would turn to tho lecturo platform s tho most natural as well as nn ontlroly legitimate legi-timate moans of earning what additional addi-tional incomo I needed tho question was at onco njskod: "Why Is Mr. Bryan unablo to llvo upon a salary of 112,000 a year? It ought to havo occurred to n,uy-ono n,uy-ono who was tempted to ask tho question that tho quostlon la not whothor'oi cabinet officer could llvo on $12,000 a year If ho had nothing to consider oxcept tho oxponsos attendant at-tendant upon living in Washington but whether ho could add tho expenses ex-penses of official Ufa to his other oxpqnsos and moct thorn all out of his salary.

They amount to more than $6,800 per year, nnd theso, though tho largest, are by no means all will absorb more.Uian half tho salafry which I receive.., Mr. Bryan is said to have .been absent from Washington 72 days, out of the 310 days following his taking of the oath of office during t .which time he traveled over 80,009 miles. During these 72 days he made 43 aid-dresses aid-dresses over halt of which were political, po-litical, the rest being official, political politi-cal and personal. That theso speeches were for a "lucrative end" no one will deny. And perhaps no one has objection, but why say Uutt be Is playing the role of tho philanthropist to our friends in Paris, France, when as a matter of fact, the whole program is based upon the "loaves and fishes." 4.4 COUNTRY STORES ARE NOT HURT Wbllo the lo(ng fight for the parcel post wns woplng, there was always ono stock argument In opposition. That was tho damage that would be done to tho country stores. It was also felt by many merchants that It would drain tho life blood out of retail re-tail tra)do In towns of some size. The last bulletin of tho National Association of Credit Men contains the results of an Investigation into this question. One of the questions asked was: Are country stores suffering suf-fering from tho aggressiveness of the mall order houses? This and other questions were sent to wholesale dealers. deal-ers. If tho cross roads and small city man Is growling, the sales--manager for the Jobber bcare it quickly enough. Theso questions brought out no sentiment among the retailers 'that tho parcel post was hurting them. But there was' v general feeling that tho now system removes a burdensome burden-some ex'pense.f -n t Th extent of tho tax Imposed by tho former heavy express charges' was not realized. It came In driblets. It whs a quarter here, half a dollar there, a dollar somewhere else. A good deal of the time it was charged up to tho consumer. No doubt there wero many; circumstances under which tho retailor felt ho had to pay it to satisfy his customer, i In tho long run tho change may provo a good thing for tho express companies. Under tho old regime, they could not havo possibly considered consid-ered themselves popular. Now they aro advertising their claims and rates. Tho moment a corporation shows Itself It-self anxious to please and get busi ness, that moment it has laid- the foundation of -popular favor. . Retail merchants of course mus realize that more work is going tobe done by' mall orders sent to stores near home. They must by, advertising advertis-ing leep their goods before the out-lying out-lying farmerai-of( their territory- jor their rival around -the corner wjll, get It. i . ! THE FIRST PRINTINQ PRESS The first printing press in tho c&s-toiui c&s-toiui settlement of America was set up In 1638. In tho summer of that, year a ship bearing a printing press, a printer and three pressmen arrived dfi tho shore of Now England, the printer boing Stephen Dayo. In tho samo year tho press was set up at Cnfmbrldgo. Ono of tho earliest nnd perhaps tho most celebrated of tho Issues was: Tho Bay Psalm Book. It is Interesting to know that tho actual ac-tual press Is still preserved. After various wundorlngs in Boston, Connecticut, Con-necticut, Now Hampshire and Vermont, Ver-mont, it was found in Windsor county coun-ty and presented It to tho Vermont Hlstorlctifl. Society.

Tho man who works with ono eye on tho clock, and drops his uplifted hammer without finishing tho stroke, when ho hears the first sound of the whistle, may save a llttlo exertion, but ho will never advance; and he will-be the first man off the Job when there ,1s a. shortage of -work and the lost man Ukeja on wheno there.
