Ikey Trumbo, they tell me, has been
urgently requested to return to Califor-
MIA and mount the political stump. AS
Ike never could talk a. little bit, 1 am
at a loss to account for the call, save
that it is now the cloudy and rainy
season in California, and they are anXi-

Joseph F. Smith has again made a
spectacle of himself through trying to
bolster up the cause of Repuhlicanism.
Last time he undertook to prove that
the Democrats of today were response
BILE for the martyrdom of Joseph and
Hyrum Smith. This time he tries to
show that Rawlins and the Democrats
deserve no credit for the passage of the
enabling act. 1T was Providence"
Few Democrats will deny that God is
the giver of all blessings, but they will
claim that the Democrats were the in
struments of His mercy in this case.
Again it was "a combination of cir
cumStanceS." AlaSi all of us are crea-
lures Of circumstances, and it was in
deed fortunate for Utah that the cir
cumstances were just right. Some of
the circumstances of this combination
were, the Democrats were in power;
there was no excuse left for the refusal
of Utah's claim. Our delegate knocked
the leader of the opposition out in the
first round, and frightened the others
The honor is due to the wisdom and
intelligent action of the people of
Utah. and they showed their wisdom
by sending. Joe Rawlins to Congress,
and lastly 1t was by the grace of the
Democratic party, which conclusion is
the only fair, square, honest way of
putting it.-Manti Sentinel
Keep God out of politics. shrieks
the Deseret News. and in so doing it

George @. Cannon and Joseph F.
Smith. 1t is to be hoped that they will
heed the good advice.
Politics make strange bed fellows it
is said; but when we find leading Re
publicans and leading officers in the
Mormon church working hand and
glove together, we stand in awe before
the wonderful genius of the maker of
the aphorism. In the past history of
Republicanism and the church we can
find no shadow of justification for this
unholy alliance. The church has suf-
fered untold injuries at the hands of
the Republican party for over thirty
years, and now it comes about that
some of the officers of that church are
straining every effort to elect a Re-
puDllCdH " represent Tile new state In
the Congress of the United States 1t
is only occasionally, we suppose, that
consistency is a jewel of worth. On
this occasion it is evidently not.-Provo
Dispatch.
When you write merry jest,
Cut it short;
Twill be too long at it's best,
Cut it short,
Life is brief and full of care,
Editors don't like to swear;
Treat your poems like your hair
Cut it short.
So says an exchange. It may be all
right, as applied to men-to football
players say-but there is a lingering
doubt in my mind that such language
should be used to a woman.
The Chicago Herald treats one phase
of the new tariff situation as follows:
A Republican calmityite newspaper
publishes as disastrous news a state
ment to the effect that millions of feet
of Canadian lumber are coming into
port at Saginaw. 1t is a good thing.
Thousands of men building houses,
farmers building fences, and other
classes of consumers can procure cheap
lumber. Cheaper building materials
will make cheaper rents for the poor.
the lumber camps does not accompany
the announcement of cheaper lumber,
and the fact is that wages are not re-
duced. Cheap Canada lumber will
hurt nobody but the pine log barons
and monopolists who have bought up
all the pine lands in Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota.
This is Sunday. Let the law be en-
forced, hit whom it may.
Being a Democrat, the only regret
that 1 have in the present fight be-
tween Harvey Hardy and the Tribune
is that the most peculiar attack may
Hardy's chances of election.
1t was a poor nomination at the best,
and meant Democratic sheriff, es-
pecially when Tom Lewis was sent to
the fore; but there may be some Re
publicans who might have voted for
Tom who will now drop in their bal
lots for Harvey, just to show that they
repudiate the bossism of the Tribune
and it's manager
No matter. The Tribune has got to
help elect Democratic sheriff-or else
admit that Hardy is bigger force in
Republican politics than it is. 1t is a
very pretty mixture from a Democrat
ic point of view, and there rs but one
expression 1 care to use-"Go it, bear;
go it, old manp'
