The Union Pacific is doing some good advertising of Utah Of this we are reminded bv a letter from D. E Burley Inclosing a sample of adver tislng now being done by the Har j riman roads In J60 metropolitan dally ' papers in the East. We are Informed that this is only one of many similar advertisements carried from time to time throughout the East and newspaper advertising Is only one of a number of moans employed in giving publicity to the west by the Union Pacific system High class lecturers, supported bv moving pictures and stereoptleon slides, are continually in the field ' boosting" for the west, and every I profitable channel of publicity is fol lowed to a point which brings re suits. Recently the Union Pacific system created a "colonization and industrial" department, which is working along the very broadest lines with the in tent of colonizing the west and In ducing manufactures to open up for the utilization of undeveloped resour ces of all descriptions Publishers nnd citizens in gencr.il can be of benefit and assistance In this work by furnishing complete data regarding natural deposits of miner als of various kinds, including oil. natural gas, clay6. granites, building stone of various kinds, phosphate beds etc, located at various points It Is the desire of the Union Pacific sys tern to get in tonch with every pos sible natural resource which 1b open to development with the view of in ducing capital and brains to develop it. Our publicity bureau should keep in close touch with this colonizatiou and industrial department. nn A FRAUD OF LONG STANDING. 8ome of the "secrets of the trade" are being made public by the Journal of the American Medical association. It has long been recognized by phys icians that one of the greatest frauds perpetrated on the American public is the exploitation of the so-called "llthia waters" some of the most widely sold of which contain less llthia than does the water of most of the rivers of the United States Millions of dollars have been expend ed on these waters and now the United States government under the federal food and drugs act. is spend ing large sums in an effort to compel the dealers to label their products truthfully, and the dealers are spend ing still larger sums In an effort to pprpptuate the present InhoK Who is really responsible for the llthia water" delusion" "Wo regret to have to stale,' says The .Touninl of the American Medical Association, "that it is chiefly the medical pro fession It originated in the medical profession; it was founded on some I crude and unscientific experiments and perpetuated by members of the I profession blindly accepting -lie state ments of exploiters of all kinds ol waters dubbed 'lithiu waters' to meet the demaud originally created by physicians In a similar way the ; profession Is largely responsible fot many of the llthia' nostrums which I are being foisted on tho public as 'uric acid solvents.' "The medical profession should recognize Its part In the origination aud perpetuation of suc h frauds as that of the 'lithls waters.' and OUf I medical schools should realize that i graduates of today In their attitude j on these important subjects are often relatively no better off. If indeed the i arc as well off, as graduates of two i or three decades ago." THE MOFFAT ROAD HAS A SERIOUS HANDICAP The City of Denver yesterday vot ed to go into railroad building by authorizing a bond issue to be ap plied to the construction of a funnel 6.4 miles long through James Peak on what is known as the Moffat road ' This road Is to connect Denver nnd I Salt Lake. The Salt Lake pupers claim the route will be d$ miles shorter than 1 the Union Pacific between the to cities That may be true and vet meail nothing Both Denver and Salt Lake are off the main line of the Union Pacific. From Cheyenne to ; Denver is 107 miles, from Ogden to ; Salt Iake is 37 miles; or a total ex tra mileage of 144. The Moffat road, as a link in any transcontinental line, will be 76 miles longer than the Un ion Pacific, according to these fig ures, furthermore, it will have heav ier grades, sharper cures. longer tunnels and, therefore, be a more ex pensive stretch of road to keep up than that of the Union Paclllr There Is onl one road out of Salt Lake with which the Moffat road could connect to form u through route to San Francisco, and that is the Western Peclflc. which Is ap proximately 138 miles longer than the Southern Pacific The two rouN would be oe 200 miles longer than the Harriman lines from Cheyenne to the coast. In these days when every extra mile is a serious handicap to any railroad, this difference in mileage: should prove an insurmountable ob- 1 stacle to the future success of the proposed new line. oo HOOKWORM FOUND IN THOUSANDS The hookworm cases imported into this part of Utah from Georgia have aroused local interest in the afflic tion The infection has been recog nized but a few years and the knowl j edge we now possess Is due in great I part to work of the Rockefeller San I itary Commission, which in its report just issued says: A survey of foreign countries shous a general infection of those parts of the earth lying between 36 degrees! north latitude and 30 degrees south latitude, a belt 66 degrees In width encircling the earth. Within this belt is included a considerable part of the United States; eleven states in par ticular have besn found heavily In-1 footed In Texas 83 counties have ! the Infection, and of the 884 counties! ' in tho other ten states In fection has been found in 796. 88 counties will also be found infect ed when the work Is extended to thorn In all, 23S.755 persons were treated at an expenditure por PC son treated of 77 or nts. as compared I with 140.378 persons treated In 1911 at an avcr.iu expenditure por person f $105. and T4.443 treated in 1910 at an average expenditure per person of $4 66. In the three years a total of 393.566 persons have been treated for uncinariasis. Tho total expenditure of the com mission for the year was $184,671.60. in addition to which the sum of $22, 4.r44 was spent by counties and $19,972.62 by states for fighting the hookworm, making a grand total of $227,126.56. The microscopic ex aminations made in 1912 numbered 126,961, 8 against 90,724 in 1911 and 14.789 in 1910. WAR TRAINS RUSHING THROUGH OGDEN Troop trains are beginning to move through Ogden This moniing the marching of 400 regular soldiers In the paved district of this city was a reminder of the first days of the Spanish -American war, when the movement of troops was at Its belghl Two solid trains of coast defense artillery passed through Ocden this afternoon, running at the unusual speed of the fastest mall train on the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Railroad official! have received or ders to place their roads In tirst class condition to handle an unprecedent ed number of special trains at high speed V e are not alarmists, and. in say ing that there is nn undercurrent of war are but stating an evident fact Cubles for submarine mines are being hurried to Manila The war ships on the Atlantic coast are being stripped for action The Hawaiian garrison is to be increased to 10,000 men Rush work has been started on the Panama canal. President Wil son has requested Congressman Sis son not to make his anti -Japanese speech scheduled for Friday This all points to the Japanese Im broglio being serious. Well. If a clash at some time in the future Is inevitable, let It come The American nation could sustain a conflict for an almost Indefinite period without approaching exhaus tion. Some contend that a war would have a salutnrv effect on our mora! and physical life with the kindling of the purifying fires of patriotism and self-sacrifice uu HOW THE THREAT COULD BE TURNED TO ADVANTAGE The Standard Is firmly opposed to the drastic tariff reductions of the present administration, but does not agree with the Salt Lake Tribune in J the following extract from that pa I Per: The throats that havo been made I It: behalf of the administration and of the Democratic majority in congress. , that business would be haried and I afflicted If any establishment alleged I damage to Its business through tho passage of the tariff bill, and In con sefjiience either reduced the wages of its employes or threatened to go out of business, are scandalous.

President Wilson and his party as sociates arc Justified In serving no tice on big employers of labor that lf attempts are made to Influonce leg islation by establishing falso condi tions, such aa might be brought about by the circulating of ru mors of close downs, panic, etc, tho administration would Investigate each particular ease and where false statements are made publish the names of th0 offenders That is right. Wo have had too much browbeating. Intimidating and coercing by power ful organizations Any honest, well founded protest should be beard, but misrepresentation Intended to lnflu enoe legislation should not be tolerat ed lor ;i moment. Of course, any business that can not be operated except at a loss under the proposed tariff reductions, is en titled to so state and emphasize tho saint- by vigorous protest, but the President does not direct his warn ing against such What he has said Is that any industry, found to be capable of continuing under the new schedules, though falsely pretending to fear disaster, will be made to bear tho full light of la on its Inner most workings. Xo concern honesth can complain against such probing or publicity. The President to be sure, has his prejudices and is inclined to inflict snap judgment on certain western in dustries Those interests are. not only entitled to complain but they should invite the close examination which Wilson says he will ordor when of fensive BtatementR are made, confi dent that the disclosures will prove to (he President himself that an In justice Is about to be committed. The Standard is convinced this threat of the administration could b turned to good ndvantage by the western industries now in danger or free trade. WORLD'SMARKETS WALL STREET. New York, May 21 Several stocks the most conspicuous among whom ;is Pennsylvania, sagged to new low marks under the pressure of short sell ng and liquidation The cheerful feeling in London and reports of the success of the Chinese loan abroad were reflectr-d in tho firm undertone of the early market, but efforts to bid up prices were ineffectual and the trend became downward Sentiment was depressed by renewed liquidation of 6ome industrials, which was regard ed as evidence that these storks were beinR thrown out as collateral for loans The continued Jack of Inves menl demand, which it was hoped might be stimulated bj the New York and Chinese loans restrained bond operators. Bonds were irregular. Stock& were firmly held at the opening of the market today. Steel and Union Pacific started the sesslo.. at yesterday's closing prices, and the other leaders ranged slightly high er. The best gains were made bv Canadian Pacific, which rose 1 S-8, and Rock Island common and pre ferred, which advanced about a point cac h Initial advances were not retained, and several leading stocks reacted lo below yesterday's closing figures The New York City 4V4 per cent bonds sold at 100. Extensive liquidation of the petro leum shares passed upon unnoticed by the general list, which was quoted at a trifle over the forenoon's lowest. California petroleum dropped 4 to 37, a new low figure. Mexican petro leum lost 2 14. Dealings in the certificates for the new city bonds were inaugurated by I a sale of a $1,000 bond at luO 1-8. af ter which a block of $100,000 changed hands at 100.
