PERSONALITY The Daily Alta of the
Oath concluded an editorial with the fol-
lowing choice bit OF wisdom "This
warfare of personalities has done this
good. 1t has taught the people not to put
their trust in princes, but to rely upon
themselves. Nothing more can be ac-
complished by it. State politics proves
that all flesh is grass. and on this basis
the parties can start on even footing,
with this improvement-that the vanity
and substance OF the purity party has
vanished, and we are reduced again to
the old fighting weiehts-the Republican
and the Democratic parties. Let US now
address ourselves to political issues and
wage the fight before us" 1t publishes

attack on Senator Booth. but it has a
sober secondthought and declares that
nothing more can be accomplished by
personality. Personality is always the
ruffian's argument. Fooled in logic, de-

anyone, and by throwing mud (sure that
some of it will sticky he seeks to COM

price, but they regard him with abhor-

foul-mouthed language in the present
California campaign, and though in JUS.
tice to the Alta we must say it has all
along mildly deprecated all such per-
sonal attacks, yet it processes to such a
high degree of political journalism that
it should speak palmer on this low and
too prevalent practice of showing up
personal shortcomings.
