SCrantOn'S Debt of Honor.

Entirely apart from the merits and
the deserving of the Thirteenth regi-
ment, there Is an important reason why
Scrantonians should DO all in their
power to insure the success of the new
armory project, by according a liberal
patronage to the benefit presentations,
this week. OF the thrilling war drama,
"Allatoona." 1t Is a well-known fact
that the popularity of Scranton as u
convention city has been seriously ham
pered by the lack Of hall suitable for
the accommodation of large gatherings
of persons. Although our city pos
eesses in abundance every other requi-
site for the successful entertainment of
great bodies of visitors, it has long felt
the need of large auditorium. A new
armory, such as 1t is intended to con-
struct If funds are forthcoming, would
correct this omission, and be in this
sense an important addition to the
city's resources.
1t is not necessary to go further from
home than to wilkes-Barre to find an
instructive example of the many ad-
vantages Of handsome and commod-
fous building of this kind. The armory
of the Ninth regiment in that city
serves not only as a fit place of drilling
and maneouvering, but also as the site
of many and various delightful social
concourses Of people; one time brought
together in eisteddfodic competitions or
in the pleasant rivalries of the saenger-
fest; another time collected in political
mass meeting; and perchance a third
time drawn together to hear the en-
trancing music of Sousa or a Thomas.
If the citizens of Wilkes-Barre had
lacked this fine auditorium during the
past few years they would have been
deprived Of very many pleasurable
occasions that have added materially
to their welfare and happiness. From
this point Of view alone, the new
ermory project in this city is deserving
of the cordial and substantial support
of every public-spirited Scrantonian
and though judged by this standard
only, the project would be a profitable
investment.
But this is only a portion OF the case
for q new armory In our city. No |
thoughtful citizen Of Scranton can fail |
to appreciate that a large debt Is owed |
by him to the Thirteenth regiment as
a military organization. 1t not only |
promises protection to his life and prop
erty should trouble fall upon the com
munity; but in times of peace, 1t carries |
the fame of Scranton enterprise and |
alertness to thousands of ears which |
would otherwise lack that valuable in |
formation. Mention the best regiment |
in the National Guard of the United |
States, and without question you will
suggest Scranton. Speak of the best |
team of sharpshooters in the country.
and once more you advertise Scranton. |
Allude. finally, to the most progressive |
chief and staff of regimental officers to |
be found in any military organization |
in the world, and If you do not openly |
name Scranton, you will at least |
strongly hint at 1t.
This city, we repeat, owes 1t to the |
Thirteenth regiment to make the new |
armory an overwhelming success, and |
now is the time for the debt to be paid. |

DON'T MIsREpREsENT.

Whenever the Republican paper
which is mot a Republican organ"
undertakes to tell the public what a
Democratic paper believes or does not
/ believe, it's readers may be sure that
it is endeavoring to misrepresent its
opponents and deceive the public. That
has always been one of the tricks of
our Republican morning contemp orary.
1t dates from away back and has con-
tinued at intervals down to the pres
ent day.
The only fair way to present the
views of newspaper adversary is to
quote its own language. Then if its
| opinions are wrong their error can be
shown. But we never knew cur con-
temporary to treat an antagonist fairly,
and but very rarely to quote it cor
rectly when even making pretence of
doing so.
! The tariff doctrine of The Herald is
that of the constitution Of the United
! States. Not construed by The Herald
or any other paper or person, but as
it stands. We affirm that there is no
authority in that instrument for the
levying of duties by Congress upon
foreign imports except for revenue pur-
poses. We have challenged our Re
publican opponent to show to the con-
trary if it can. All that is needed for
that purpose is to quote the article, or
clause, in the Constitution which
authorizes Congress to impose a tariff
for protection.
Calling names. alleging that The
Herald believes this, that or the other,
preventing its language and miscon-
STRUNG its meaning, will not avail
That is no answer and no argument
Congress has no power but that con-
ferred upon it on the Constitution.
That instrument is silent as to a pro-
tective policy. Therefore Republican
protection is unconstitutional, and it
has been demonstrated in theory and
practice to he a fraud.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-08-12

publican party of Utah, according to
the representations made by Republi-
can papers, and concludes by saying,
out on such morality"
The Republican party has taken the
ground of high morality in theory
for many years. In practice it has
proved to be just as corrupt as it is
possible for a party to be. 1t is
founded on corrupt principle. That
is the fostering of classes, the enrich
nent of few by the taxing of the
many. The prostitution of the powers
of government by the diversion of pub
lie funds, collected solely for public
purposes, to the enrichment of capt.
talists already gorged with wealth. 1t
is the party of plutocracy. 1t gives
money from the public treasury to
rich corporations, who in turn, hand
out portion of their ill-gotten gains
for the support and maintenance of
the party which fattened them.
We can understand a change of SEN
timent on the part of individuals in
reference to either party. People who
have been Republicans may conscien-
suppose that people who have been
Democrats may be conscientiously so
mistaken as to turn to be Republi-
cans. Full liberty should be afforded
to both, and charity will put the best
construction upon their action.
But, when it is evident that the
change is made for pay, or for the
requirement of office. or for any other
personal benefit. the motive of the
turn-coat is SO apparent as to be pal
pable to everybody, and the public
mind is naturally prejudiced against
the individual. People who turn from
Democracy to Republicanism, how
ever, unless for the reasons we have
named, usually do so not because of
the superiority, as they see it, of Re
publican principles, but because of
some pique against individual Demo-
Gratis or against the party itself for
not recognizing their imagined super
ior capabilities. The idea of turning
to the Republican party for a higher
standard OF morality is the sheerest
kind of humbug.

THEIR NUMBER Is FEW.

1t is remarkable how reluctant some
people and papers are to recognize
! the fact that an era of good times has
opened up to the United States. They
seem to be embittered with the pros
poets that are shining upon the coun-
| try, and the only reason we can dis
cover for this unnatural feeling is that
the good times have opened under a
| Democratic administration, and under
the operation of a Democratic tariff
measure which those birds of i'll omen
predicted would bring irreparable dis
aster.
These good times which both Repub-
lican and Democratic papers, with but
few exceptions, all over the country
are recognizing are not, as repeated
ly intimated by a local contemporary,
simply a spasmodic. revival caused by
the wearing out of peoples clothes
and of the tracks on railroads. They
are recognized among all sane and
truthful people as the advent of solid
business prosperity, industrial progress,
and advancement in nearly all depart
ments of human activity. They are
something to rejoice over, not to be-
little or deny.
1t may be true that Utah does not
yet feel to a very great extent the
prosperity which has come to places
farther to the east. But in reply to
porary we answer: Yes, times are
better this year than last" There
are not 'as many idle men in Salt
Lake today as there were a year or
two ago" AS to the lead miners, there
are as many to work today as there
were year ago. The silver interest is
as good, at least, today as then Sheep
men are happier this year than last.
Of an increase in the price of wool has
the effect of making them happy. We
merely mention these facts in answer
to sneering queries from our Republi-
can neighbor.
But mere local interests are not the
issue 1t is the general prosperity.
the revival of industry, the re-opening
of closed factories, the establishment
of new enterprises, the increase of
wages occurring at the same time as
the reduction in the price of clothing
and other articles of necessity, the abun-
dance of money to be had at low in
terest, and the general feeling OF coa-
fidence in business and commercial
circles, which are the unmistakable
signs Of the good times that are not
only coming, but to a great extent
have come. If our Republican con-
temporaries cannot see these patent
facts then they are blind in
deed. If they do see them and seek
to obscure them from the eyes of the
public. then their falsehood is both
wicked and contemplate. We are
pleased to know that those deniers of
the truth are few and far between. 4

UTAH PRESS EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Ogden Wants the Convention.

The Democrats territorial committee
will meet next Monday at Salt Lake, and
have the time and place fixed for holding
the convention. It is most likely the
convention will be held not later than
September g. and the place should be in
this city. The conventions for some time
past have been held in Salt Lake, but for
various reasons it should be held at Og-
den this year. A delegation will go down
from Ogden to meet with the committee,
and urge that the convention be brought
here.-Ogden Democrat.

AVAILABLE NEW ENGLANDERs.

The press of New England is very gen.
orally indorsing the idea that the dele
should vote for a New England man for
president. In William E. Russell and
Thomas g. Reed the people of this sec

conventions two noted New Englanders,
who should be lovally supported because
of the deep significance the nomination
and election of either would mean to our
people. Win or lose, the New England
states should stick together. They have
been swayed too long by sharp and as
tute politicians in other states.-Boston
