B j Kjl It is said Japan takes the high ground that B mil for hor to agree that for any reason her people B j (Bjl are not the peers of all other peoples would be B I pf an insult to her nationality, and we think, in B j pi that respect, she is right, while at the same time Illjl there is a law deeper than human laws which ill divides men into races, and there are instincts Jj 1 in some nations which cause them to avoid com- B t pr ' ition with men who have lived harder lives B Eli ' than their own people, and self-preservation is B Br the first law of a nation as well as of men. B 5; It the United States is wise it will hurry up B fgi its battleships and its coast defenses, because a B j clash with that Japanese power is possible in B; II the near future, and when that clash comes it B H will be a trying one, because when a man or a B m nation fights with another man or nation that B I'rfi holds that life is nothing in the interest of na- Bl i'JJl tive land, they have work to do. Bl 1 BV tit r Prohibition by Statute B j Jw "YE D0 N0T bolIeve thG Prohibition vote is B 'm going to count for much this year, be- B j ! cause prohibition in politics is founded B I It on a wrong principle, which is no less than that B a ft men can be made good by statute. There are B II certain vices belonging to human nature, but B l they are as old as mankind. There are certain B I ft instincts in human nature which rebel when B In compulsion is brought to bear against them. We B vM do not believe a law against marriage would keep B Iff the sexes apart; wo do not bolievo that ever so B llj strict a prohibition law will keep men from B ill drinking. It has not done so in prohibition B fig states, rather it has lmd a tendency to make B jjl men sneaks, to do things covertly which they B Jjljj never would do unless they were legislated B S against. It is a good thing to put all guards B ijjljj around saloons, it is a good thing to confine them B ig to quarters where the young will not see them B llm or see their effects, but the appetite for liquor B 1 Hj In some men is insatiable and the more obstruc- B M tions put in their way the more fierce their appe- B Wt tites, and the way of th world has proved that B Bj all the laws can successfully accomplish will be B 11. to put such restrictions around them that they B y j will not be flaunted in the face of the young, B n 1 and that the millennium cannot be brought here B H ' Dv statute. B H It would be queer, would It not, if the simu- B fflf V lated anxiety of tht Inter-Mountain over tho pro- B iff posed red-light district all came through the fear B-ii,,: LBSS8aBSBBSS8BBSBBB that the rents would fall off from the beautiful structure on Commercial street which was erected by the BHgham Young Trust Company, for the purpose of monopolizing the best paying tenantry in that nefarious quarter of the town? Just Wise Government A WRITER in a current magazine has an ar ticle on the widespread socialistic activ ities of the government of the nation, the cities, etc., in the United States. He cites gov ernment ownership of the Panama canal, for in stance, for one, the government experiment sta tions for another, which are for the good of the whole state or the whole country, as when a man in any state is unfortunate on his land the government stands ready to send an expert to tell him how to cultivate his land, what crops to plant, how to plant them, etc. He calls the reclamation of swamps a socialistic feature of the government, also government irrigation. All of which is good, but it is not socialism as it is understood bv its followers, because the object in every case is to incite men to higher personal exertions on their own account and to remove from their path obstacles which they have not the capital to remove. For instance, when the government drains a swamp and makes it possible to cultivate some thousands of acres of land which before it was impossible to do, ' the land is sold at a price which will return to the government all it invests. That is not social ism, that is simply wise government. That has nothing to do with the feature which Mr. Debs and his friends insist on, that "whatever is, came from labor and the square thing is an equal di vision among those who never earned any part of it." The wise government educates its children, whether it be a state or a nation. It takes every obstacle It can away frQni the path of labor where the necessary thing requires more money than individuals can supply, as referred to in the draining of swamps and the irrigating of land. The government uses the taxes gathered from all the people to do the work. It gathers it all back from the people who take advantage Superb Autumn Millinery Our elegant showing is increased this week by new arrivals of Trimmed, Dress, Street and Carriage Hats, Patterns, and adaptations from our own workrooms which cannot be surpassed.

The Agricultural Department has done a world of good and is doing a world of good for all the people of the United States. It has introduced new plants, it has killed pests, it has analyzed soils and made a formula by which the tillers of land may judge what is best to plant, it has tried to improve the domestic animals so that more milk or more beef or more mutton can be produced than formerly, and if that is called socialism there is no one except a chump who will not endorse it, but that does not go to the other feature where Mr. Debs assumes that when a man works and produces what can be sold for a hundred dollars he is entitled to $50, and that never will come until just before the time when anarchy is to rule. When the Fleet Visits Japan JAPAN is going to "do the proud" by the battle ship fleet. She "will have battleship for bat tleship in line and will answer all salutes with gun for gun and old Admiral Toga will in person be in command and the greeting will be as cordial as that he gave the Russian fleets, if not quite so fatal in its effects. The little brown sailors will meet the big white ones and exchange courtesies, and while all will be polite and jolly, they will be measur ing each other with their eyes and wondering If one of these days it will be necessary to flre at each other with something more deadly than blank cartridges. The visit will be good for both powers; it will be liable to engender mutual respect and make both hope that whatever their dealings may be with other powers, there will never be a clash between the Island Kingdom and the Great Republic. Something of the power and majesty of the Great Republic will be symboled j in that fleet; something of the invincible valor I of the brown men will be shadowed forth in theirs, and thoughts of these things will be in the minds of both as they exchange courtesies and di'ink each other's health. It is a good thought to have them come to gether in peace; it is a good thought for them f S11Y Juvenile Section Full of just the right kind of clothes for boys whose mothers care
