ij A FEELING OF GREAT
I DISAPPOINTMENT.
I Wisconsin Is not a disloyal state.
1 1 Proof of that fact was furnished on
I Monday Tvhen the Wisconsin senate,
I hy a vote of 26 to 3, passed the follow-
I ing resolution:
I The people of the slate of Wis-
1 consln always have stood and al-
I ways will stand squarely behind
f the present war to a successful
Hj end. We condemn Senator Robert
SI M. LaFolletto and all others who
II have failed to see the righteous-
B ness of our nation's cause and
S have failed to support our govern-
R nient in matters vital to the win-
li ning of the war. And we de-
0 nounce any attitude or utterance
W of theirs which has tended to in-
1 cite sedition among the people of
1 our country and to injure Wiscon-
sin's fair name before tho free
jt peoples of the earth.
I When a Republican senate in a
Jjl strongly Republican state sees the ne-
Bj cessity of openly condemning a Repub-
h lican senator from that state, and
H branding the offender as disloyal to

I ! There is an atmosphere of laxity be-
ji cause of the manner in which our gov-
5 ernment is dealing with thoso who give
; comfort and aid to the enemy. Wher-
ever Americans gather, be they Repub-
H licans. Democrats or Mugwumps, the
i ! one sentiment to which all subscribe

hered to and, as a result, this nation is
openly inviting a show of resistance
by a largo percentage of those who at
heart are un-American..
So far, in this war, the peculiar at
titude assumed toward the disloyal has
titude assumed toward the disloy
al has been a soft pedal ap
plied to the patriotism of the land.
As a nation, we started to war by first
adjusting soft kid gloves to our hands.
That mildness of manner chills the
rich red blood of America. Although
our boys are going, and our Red Cross
is working, and meatless days are
here, and taxes in largo totals are be
ing collected, the feeling is irresistible
that we as a nation are not in deadly
earnest, and it comes from the absence
of all evidence of a punch at home, In
the handling of the slacker, the skulk,
the poisoner, tho whisperer, the evad
er, tho spy, the traitor.
Wo hope our readers will cut out this
editorial and enclose the same in a let
ter to the head of tho nation and to
our senators as an expression of pub
lic sentiment.
AMBASSADOR FRANCIS
DEPARTURE.
With all the treachery that has sur
rounded him, Ambassador Francis at
Potrograd has decided to move before
too lato. His last mossage to the state
department reported tho Germans
within eight hours march of the capi
tal, and his resolve to leave. A very
discreet decision.
For months our ambassador has
been in a dangerous position. Part of
the time he has been threatened with
violence by the Bolshevik hotheads,
and all the time he has had to face the
poossibility of mob violence or wide
spread anarchy.
He may decide to proceed to Mos
cow or go directly east over tho Si
berian railroad to Harbin or Vladi
vostok. It begins to look as though
his day of usefulness in Greater Rus
sia is ended, although a special mis
sion from the United StateB might ac
complish some good by organizing a
government, free from the Trotzky
Lenine influence, which would proceed
to offer resistance to tho German con
quest. If 110 part of Greater Russia can be
saved from the invaders, then the al
lies, without delay, should begin to es
tablish in Siberia a barrier to the east
ward march of tho Huns. It would bo
an unforgivable act of stupidity, for
the allies to remain aloof from this
Russian tragedy and allow the Ger
mans to overrun Siberia and eventual
ly establish a submarine base at Vladi
vostok. Japan, wo take It, is supposed to
watch this development and safeguard
Siberia from German aggrandizement,
but the United States should not leave
this vitally important issue to the de
termination of Japan or any other pow
er. It is the duty of this country to
jknow when, where and how the Ger
1 mans in Russia are to be blocked.

MARSHES AND HURRICANES
ON MARS.
To the many theories in explana
tion of the "canals" on Mars, a new
hypothesis has" been added by Prof.
W. H. Pickering who opposes the Irri-.gation-ditch
theory.
J We are informed by Scientific
I American that Professor Pickering ap
plies to Mars the "tetrahcdral hypoth
esis" of Green concerning the shape
of a cooling planet. Given the shape
required by this hypothesis, there
would be three depressed, areas on the
border of the north polar cap, In which

water would collect when tho latter
molts. Tho rapist air supplied by evap
oration over these reservoirs would
drain away to the south along certain
definite routes, nccordlng to well
known Jaws of air movement-over tho
surface of a rotating planot. Noctur
nal cooling would produce clouds nnd
rainstorms along these routes, and
give rise to elongated marshes, consti
tuting the broader and more conspic
uous so-called canals. Instead of be
ing artificial channels, Intended to car
ry water from tho molting polar cap to
the southern hemisphere, they are, ac
cording to Professor Pickering, natural
features of tho planet, and serve the
purpose of preventing tho water from
being carried too rapidly, through the
natural atmospheric circulation, to
the south polar regions, where, wrap
ped at this season In the long winter
night and subject to the cold of space,
it would be quickly withdrawn from
further uso to vegetable and possible
animal life. Thus the marshes consti
tute reservoirs, furnishing water by
evaporation during the Martlnn sum
mer. From tho shape and radius of
curvature of tho marshes, Pickering
calculates tho force of the Martian
winds, ranging up to 230 miles an hour,
and from this maximum wind he finds
that the minimum atmospheric pres
sure cannot be less thnn 7.5 inches of
mercury. The temperature of boiling
water on Mars would therefore bo
about 150 degrees Fahr. The very nu
merous narrower or secondary canals,
which only appear later in the season,
may be artificial, or may indicate tho
paths of local, more or lessiaccldental
showers.
HOW TO CUT ONE
BIG BILL.
At tho rogular meeting of the city
commissioners, this morning, the elec
tric lighting company's bill of $2,233.96
was favorably acted on and a warrant
ordered drawn.
This is 30 days of electric street
lighting in the city of Ogden, or at the
rate of $74.-16 a night.
This reminds us that Ogden has not
adopted the daylight-saving plan
which has been found to be a great
economy of electric energy in cities
wldetiwake to the benefits to bo ob
tained. By sotting the clocks ahead one
hour in the spring of the year, Ogden
could save a largo sum, and our work
ing people be afforded more hours of
outdoor sunshine.
With our clocks one hour ahead,
those who have indoor work, would go
to their duties one hour earlier and
quit at from 4 to 5 o'clock In the aft
ernoon, sun time.
Why not get out of tho old rut and
be "early to bed and earlier to rise,"
which everyone knows, Is part of a
nursery rhyme with a promise of rich
reward ?

BLOWJJP PLANT
Guard at Newburgh Shipyards
Hurls Bomb Out df Danger
Just in Time.
NEWBURGH, N. Y., Fob. 27. An
attempt to blow up machinery in the
plant of the Newburgh Shipyards com
pany here today waB frustrated but
only after a guard had picked up a
bomb and hurled it out of danger. It
exploded and did some damago ' but
not enough to delay work at tho plant.
The bomb was placed under a com
pressor machine In one of the build
ings by a stranger who oscaped after
beating the guard, William Hogan,
who discovered him near tho machine,
and demanded his workman's badge!
Tho man was bonding over and sud
denly straightening up, struck tho
guard over the head with a club.
Hogan was dazed, but on recovering
from tho blow started his search,
which resulted In discovering a sus
picious looking object under tho ma
chine. He hurled It as far as he could
and tho bomb exploded when it struck
tearing the floor and breaking about
thirty windows.
Tho attempt to damage the ma
chinery evidently was intended to
delay construction work on ships for
tho emergency floet corporation, which
Is about to begin.

Rescue Steamers Ordered to
Investigate To Find Per
sons Still on Vessel.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., Feb. 27. Rescue
steamors were ordered today to In
vestigate a report received here that
signals from the Red Cross liner
Florizol, wrecked Sunday morning
near Cape Race, Indicated that per
sons were alive on the vessel.
Owners Doubt Story.
Although agents of Bowring & Co.,
owners of the line, expressed doubt
that any survivors remained aboard
the ship after forty-four persons wore
taken off Monday and brought here,
the captain of the steamer Terra Nova,
which was near the scene, was ordered
by wireless to make an Immediate
search of the wreckage. Earlier re
ports stated that tho Florizol was
rapidly breaking up and that it was
difficult for small boats to reach her.
All told there were 136 persons on
the Florizel when she sailed from here
Tuesday night for Halifax and New
York. Tho vessel was half submerged
and lying in a dangerous position
when the forty-four survivors were
taken off.
Government authorities on being in
formed of the report that signals had
conio from tho ship and that while
this might be true, It was unlikely that
survivors were aboard today.

When the senate's committee on
agriculture was Investigating the sub
ject of foodstuffs, the liquor men
denied that they consumed as much
as the prohibitionists said they did
they declared that they used only one
per cent of the grain.
All right let's take them at their
word. One per cent of the grain will
feed one per cent of the people. This
means one million people because
there are one hundred million of us In
this country.
We shall probably send one million
soldiers to France. This means that
the liquor men have been wasting
enough foodstuffs to feed every last
man who will go to the trenches!
If food will win the war as Hoover
says then tho liquor men have a
fearful responsibility resting upon
them when they deliberately waste
the food which would give life and
strength to our soldiers.
But what about the man whose vote
gives the liquor men the right to do
this?

The city commissioners today re

The ordinance is identical to tho one
that has been urged for adoption in

SERVICE FLAG HAS

Attaches of tho United States for
estry service of District No. 4, head

Browning Brothers yesterday after

big "service flag," containing thirty-
four stars, emblematic of the thirty
four patriots of the forestry service
who are assisting Uncle Sam. The flag
Is a beauty five feet wide and eight
feet long, with a deep red border and

, LICENSES
The city commissioners, at their
regular meeting this morning, did not
take up the application for licenses
applied for by seven hotel and room
ing house keepers and which were de
ferred at Monday night's meeting,
pending further investigation. Tho
applications were deferred because of
a communication from Police Chief
Browning, recommending that these
particular licenses bo denied.
According to Commissioner Jones,
! under whose department the control
of the hotels and rooming houses has
been assigned, the state laws are spe
cific and stringent against tho grant
ing of licenses to persons who are sus
pected of using their places for the
sale of liquor. Tho recommendation of
Police Chief Browning that licenses be
denied was based upon alleged viola
tions of the liquor or other ordinances.
