H There is one mnn in the United fetates whose voice is always for war B knd the gentleman Is none other than P Theodore Roosevelt, hero of San Juau H But Theodore, in actual war, some- : times Is a quitter. He started a wag Hi on the Standpatters of his party and H the Standpatters administered a little Hj. tflattery. Then the man from Oyster HJ iBay gave up. H Had Roosevelt genuine fighting H) iblood, he never would have surrend- H ered to the Old Guard at Chicago. The H very men he so bitterly assailed in Hj 1912, were in control of the last Chicago R convention, named the ticket and dic- B tated the entire proceedings, but Theo- H dore accepted their dominancy without Hi a word of indignation. H Yesterday at Oyster Bay, Mr. Roose- Hj velt once more became strenuous, j Addressing his Tellow villagers, he H asserted that he preferred war to the BBBW peace that tbe united maces is ai H present having with Mexico. Not H long ago, he was restless over the H peace tills country maintained with H Europe. If Theodore were president H today, this nation would be in war. H Looking back, it is evldentlhe United B States escaped war during his term in H office by reason of the fact that no B plausible excuse for a call to arms H could be invented. H SHOULD AVOID THE H OLD MISTAKES. H Reviewing army conditions as they Hj existed during the Spanish-American Hj -war, the Butte Miner says: H "While this country is sadly lack- H Jng in the kind of preparedness it i should have, it nevertheless is a fact H that considerable improvement has Hj been made In that regard since the H outbreak of the Spanish-American H war. The arrangements for the trans- H portatlon of troops then were inade- Hj quate. Camp conditions were notor- H iously bad. Supplies were very lavly Hj handled. There was woeful lack of Hj organization and co-ordination in some B of the most important departments H having to do with the soldiers. The H eyes of the nation certainly were op- Hj cned to the army management defici- H encles. That is not to say that there H was anything the matter with the H lightlngabillty or bravery of the sol- H dlors. On the contrary, the soldiers H of this nation then did themselves 1 proud, and that against most adverse H' conditions. H "The navy did splendid work, com- : H ing right up to expectations. It was fl a good thing, however, that Spain did , BwH Tint visvn anv more fleets than it did ' M or this country might have had much M trouble coping with them all at the H same time." H The army camps were mismanaged H and the transport service was poor. B Scandals occurred, one of which plac- H ed Alger in disgrace. Embalmed beef i caused a nation-wide sensation. H Let us hope that in the present Hi movement of troops, the disgraceful ' events of 1898 will not be repeated. H DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE H INDEMNITY. B Carranza's reply to President Wil- H son's note is conciliatory, but far from K answering. Out of it the President H can pick the good or the bad, and face B in the direction of peace or war, just H as he sees fit. The average American, H who feels that the Mexicans are due H for a spanking, hopes the President H will throw the Carranza message B aside, and more positively insist on a H statement as to whether American M troops are to be harassed, if they B move out of a line marked by Mexican. H authorities. Until the United StateB m troops went In to Mexico and pene- m trated to Parral in pursuit of bandit H forces, there was no security to life H or property along toe border. In their H search for tbe marauders, the Ameri can soldiers found much evidence ol collusion between bandits and de facte troops. Bands of cutthroats, pursued to the south, have disappeared through tho lines of regulars. There has been no strong proof of a desire on the : part of the Mexican soldiers to help the Americans capture such notorious raiders as Villa, Our soldiers did not go over tho border until the outrages committed by Mexicans became unbearably fre quent. They are entitled to remain so long as there is any danger of a repetition of the border crimes. Before our troops come out of the country south of the Rio Grande, they should establish their superiority. The Parral and Carrizal affairs are accepted by the common natives as demonstrating that, in a test of armed strength, Mexico would be at least equal to the United States. If that conceit is allowed to develop, the (Mexican border will bo the scene of many more atrocities and eventually the task of undeceiving the ignorant masses 'of Mexico will have to be undertaken. While the National Guards are on the border, the Mexican government should be called on to make imme diate reparation to all Americans who i nave sunereu, ana me nature ui uiu : reparation should bo so onerous that s all Mexicans would be stung under tho . realization that they were being bur dened to help expiate a series of crimes against the dignity of the United States. The effect would be sobering, while conveying a sense of national humiliation, of which tho Mexicans as a whole are sorely in need. nn SAFETY-FIRST TRAIN IN OGDEN. About August 1, the government's "safetj' first" special train will arrive in Ogden, for tho purpose of showing the life-saving, and property-saving ac tivities of the government in behalf of the people of the United States, The public will be invited to visit the train and inspect the various ex hibits. This is a commendable enterprise on the part of the federal authorities. The history of the train, briefly out lined, follows: At various expositions and world's fairs that have been held in the United States, government's activities along the lines of life saving and property saving have been explained to those who were fortunate enough to attend those great educational af fairs. Persons who have visited tho nation's' capital also have had oppor tunity to know 'what the government is doing in these lines; but the great majority of persons have little knowl edge of the vast organization effect ed to protect the people In peace as well as in war. The United States government, therefore, intends to show this to the people who have not had the opportunity of seeing it. The train is made up of twelve steel cars, in nine of which are exhibits. The coast guard service exhibit a modern, full size, self-bailing surf boat, beach apparatus wagon, rapid firing gun for throwing life lines to ships in distress, breeches buoy for life" saving at sea, Tho public health service, the branch of the government that is charged with the responsibility of keeping epidemics of dread disease away from the shores of the United States, and of assisting in stamping out epidemics that occur within its borders, show by models and charts what this service is accomplishing for the health of the people. Both the war department and the navy department have cars devoted exclusively to display of apparatus and models of -instruments used by those departments. The navy department show models of the great guns that are on the battleships, and have men from the I I "" I?7 rars der one a I I Lmm continuous management. I EXPERIENCE B People naturally have confidence in m an old-established, well-known insti- J M tution which has proven its stability i H by its past record. i bH v Je &den State Bank was estab- i H hshed in 1 889, and since that time has I H conducted a successful and growing H . business along the most conservative I H lines. I We place our experience and facili- I m ties at your disposal.

There is a modern machine gun similar to those now being used in the Euro pean war; also a rapid fire Hotchkiss gun of the type formerly used by the navy. A 6-pound gun of the latest de sign used on ships is also exhibited. Perhaps the most interesting feature Is a torpedo, the type of instrument that has caused so much death and destruction In the European war. The navy men will explain that each tor pedo costs from $4000 to $S000 and that many of them have been used In the present war. Tho navy has ob tained from one of its submarines a portable wireless outfit, which will be carried with the train, and will be in working order at all stopping places. Messages will be received and sent daily and visitors will be permitted to witness the actual working condi tions. The bureau of mines looks after the safety of more than a million of miners. It is engaged in teaching them first aid to the injured; and over 30,000 miners are especially trained and well equipped to render aid as members of I any hospital corps. The exhibit includes the various ap- paratus for the having of life In mines, Inventions permitting wearers 3 io enter piaces iniea wnn poisonous t gaseB, having telephone connections with the outside world, life-saving ca - nary birds, oxygen pumps and cylin ! ders, safety lamps, aneroid barome s ters, psychrometers, anemometers, ) galvanometers, radium signs, a gram ! of radium salt, and innumerable de . vices used in mining operations. The reclamation service, the home making bureau of the national gov ernment, shows its methods of re claiming the desert wastes and pro paring them for the habitatlou of man. It is estimated that the Great Amer ican desert contains forty million acres, which, if reclaimed, could make homes for twenty million persons and add four billion dollars to taxable j property, and one billion dollars in annual crop returns. The national park service presents 1 a picture gallery of the magnificent scenery of the Yellowstone, Yosemite, j Mt. Rainier, Crater Lake, Glacier and j others of our fourteen national parks; j scenery that In quality and variety far I exceeds that of the Alps. The pic- 1 tures are enlargements from photo- K graphs and are beautifully colored. The forest service exhibit Is design- I ed to show the conservation of life 1 and property, and how it prevents, de- I tects, and suppresses forest fires, de-JW stroylng scores of human lives andlH millions of dollars' worth of finest timber. m The weather bureau shows the intri- i cate apparatus It uses in determining the weather conditions and the ap proach of storms and floods. . An elaborate exhibit is prepared by this department which shows all the isafety appliances approved by the United States government for trans portation service. The exhibit in cludes various designs of hand brakes, car couplers, uncoupling levers, sill steps, ladders, hand holds, running boards, signals, block signals, etc. In the exhibit is a miniature locomotive complete and built to scale. A locomo tive boiler under steam, with glass openings, will illustrate the circulation of water under working conditions. The first aid division, American Red Cross, is operated under the direction of officers of the Medical Corps of the United States army, and has. a staff of physicians and a He saving expert. WATER ON MEXICAN BORDER. Writing on the scarcity of water as a part of the Mexican border prob lem the United States army must face, a well informed traveler says: w "While the water question is a ser LUt v e ,throuehout a wide zone on both banks of the 1,100 mile Rio Grande boundary, it Is vastly more Important along the 700-mile line ex tending from El Paso to the Pacific. Throughout the latter section the av erage rainfall does not exceed eight inches a year, while in some parts of the Yuma desert there have been droughts when the aggregate rainfall for twelve months has been less than three-fourths of an Inch. ."Throughout this region there are two so-called 'rainy seasons.' tho mnro important being that which extends from the first of July to the middle of September. "For the next two months our bord er soldiers will witness a remarkable growth of vegetation, the moisture and the intense heat combining to cause grass, grain, fruits and flowers to spring to life and maturity as if quickened by some magic of a wiz ard's wand. All growing things of the soil will experience spring, summer and autumn in tho space of three months. Then leaves and grass, shrubs and vines will shrivel as the clouds disappear and a brazen sky once more canopies a region of 'silence, solitude and sunshine.' "Between the Rio Grande and the Pacific Coast the international boun dary line crosses only five running streams, the first of these in the west ward journey being in the San Ber nardlno valley, 192 miles -from b' Paso, where thousands of cattle find excellent pasturage. Just south of the line, along the Bernardino Creek, a tributary of the Yaqul River, are the ruins of an adobe fort, a relic of an extensive settlement in the days of Spanish dominion in the New World "Even where running water Is found along this frontier it Is not always conveniently available for irrigation purposes. For example, the San Pedro River, which crosses the boundary midway between Douglas and NogaIe3 Arizona, has cut bo deeply into the soil that the bed of the 15-foot stream is now far below the surrounding land making gravity Irrigation Impossible. "Tho Santa Cruz River, fFlher west, crosses the boundary twice, ris lng north of the line, flowing south for Does this announcement thrill you?

"Beyond, the Santa Cruz the bound ary line crosses a desert region where the intelligent, peace-loving Papagos Indians lead a strange existence, con centrating all their agricultural activi ties in the three or four rainy-season months when the land becomes an intensive-culture garden of great fer tility. With the first clouds of June the natives rush to their 'temporales,' small tracts of land In the vicinity of natural or artificial water holes, where shallow irrigation ditches are dug and where quickly-maturing beans, pumpkins, melons, and Indian corn are planted. One of the chief articles of food in this region is the fruit of a giant cactus, which ripens in June and July It is eaten fresh, is dried for winter, boiled and pre served, and made into a syrup, while a considerable portion of the annual yield is converted into a much-prized intoxicating beverage. After the sum mer harvest the Papagos migrate to the mountains where they gather acorns for food. In lean years they subsist largely on mesqulte beans and certain varieties of grass seed. "These Indians are constantly sus tained in their hard battle for ex istence by the belief that their Mes siah, whom they call 'Moctezuma,' will come some day to correct all abuses and make the desert his garden of paradise. The entrance to their adobe huts face the east so that the great benefactor will find all doors open when he comes with the rising sun. "Tho heat in the desert regions dur ing the summer months Is overpower ing. Government surveying parties have had to endure 118 degrees, Fah renheit, in the shade, while the grada tions nf thp nrrllnarv thftrmnmpter nrp not sufficiently high to record tho terrific heat in the sun, which has been known to reach 150 degrees. "On the eastern slope of the Sierra de Tinajas Altas, three miles north of the boundary line, there Is an ex tensive semi-circular amphitheater in the midst of which is a series of cur ious reservoirs. Here seven great na tural tanks have been carved from the rocks In the course of centuries by water tumbling down a narrow gorge during tho rainy season. These tank3 have a capacity of from 15,000 to 20, 000 gallons and the water which they catch each summer is protected from evaporation by overhanging cliffs. "Some of these tanks can be reach ed only after a difficult climb, and the imaginative traveler can readily picture the many Tantalus tragedies which occurred here during the great gold rushes of the ''fifties' and the 'six ties.' Numerous crosses of stone iu the vicinity mark the graves of those perishing prospectors who reached the great reservoirs but who had not suf ficient reserve strength to scale the rocks and place their parched lips to the rim of these giant beakers of life giving water. "The heat and dryness of the atmos phere In this desert land Induce such profuso perspiration that both men and horses require an abnormal quan- ; tity of water, the average for men be- i ing seven quarts a day and for mules and horses 20 gallons." i nn "Graft," last episode, and "Peg O' the Ring," at the ; Lyceum tomorrow. i HP'S MARKETS New York, July 5. Stocks respond ed to the more favorable develop ments in the Mexican situation and other hopeful auguries with a series of substantial gains at the opening of today's market. Specialties like Stu debaker, Baldwin, Crucible and Mexi can Petroleum advanced 1 to 2 points with similar gains in the shipping sares. United States Steel was the only issue to register a "wide" open ing, a single block of 4000 shares changing hands at 86 3-4 to 86 7-8c, against Monday's closing price of 86 l-4c. Important rails were strong, Ca nadian Pacific gaining 1 l-2c. Texas company rose 3 points and Maxwell second preferred 4. Profit taking of a general character and pressure against Reading and In dustrial Alcohol impaired prices soon after the opening. There was an ad vance later, however, on publication of the conciliatory Mexican note. Steel advanced to S7 1-S, with further gains in Canadian and some of the granger and coal issues. Petroleum made an extra gain of 3 and other Mexicans as well as. Texas company augmented initial gains with improve ment in metals and coppers. Bonds were firm. Omaha Livestock. Omaha, Neb., July 5.

Wheat rose In value today owing to an advance at Liverpool and as a result of bullish foreign statistics. Cable reported that demand was broadening and that Eu ropean advices wero becoming less and less favorable. A consequent rush of buying hero ran into selling that was headed by one of the largest firms on change. Opening prices, which ranged from l-25-S to 1 3-Sc net higher, with July, $1.04 to 1.04 1-4 ind September at $1.06 to $1.06 3-4, tvas followed by a moderate general reaction. 3 Scarcity of offerings gave the corn market strength. Signs pointed to continued demand from the seaboard after opening 1-4 to 3-4c higher, prices though underwent something of a set back. Oats were relatively lower. The reason was that conditions promised fairly well for a big crop. The smallness of the decrease in the United States visible wheat sup ply total acted later as a weight on prices, and so too did bearish esti mates of the domestic 1916 crop. Quo tations closed nervous at 1-8 to 1-8 l-4c net advance, with July $1.03 3-8 and September, $1.05 5-8. Ideal weather tended later to ease the corn market. The close was un settled at an advance of l-43-S to 3-4c net. UTAH STOCKS Summary of the Local Market. July 5, 1916.
