Then began the scramble to take in

full vote. Beaver broke from Farms

a change and the deluge seemed to be
coming. In the midst of it Alma Ell

the nomination unanimous. Varian
had the tact to see that this was the
privilege Of Glasmahn, Of Weber. and
ruled the motion out Of order until the

time Glasmann donned his coat and
looked around at his faithful ones from
Weber. When the vote was finally
given out he moved to make the vote

There were shouts for Wells, but the

speechmaking and recess was taken

PECULIAR REASONING.

The success of the Groesbeck COM
pany in securing a loan of $4,000 at
per cent per annum, which will bring
in CHEAP money" from the east, is
looked upon in business circles as a
stroke of good business policy. By
obtaining this cash on mortgage, the
company will be able to pay off the
Indebtedness of $4,000 which is draw
ing large rate of interest, and will
have the balance in hand wherewith
to effect much needed improvements
on the property. This is viewed as
putting the company's affairs in better
shape than they have been in for a
long time.
That is all right, and the Groesbeck
people are to be congratulated on this
relief and the prospects it opens up
for future success But why is the
policy which works so favorably in
private business, not of equal benefit
in public business? If this private
company has done a wise thing in OBJ
tanning money at six per cent to re-
lieve it of a higher rate of interest,
why would it not have been equally
wise for Salt Lake county to have
obtained money at five per cent to pay
off obligations drawing eight per cent
interest?
It is singular if that which works so
we'll in private business would not
work equally well in public business.
The idea that the Groesbeck company
has contracted further indebtedness
that it has Jumped out of the frying
pan into the fire." that it has done
something rash and deplorable' does
not seem to enter anybody's head. Yet
similar, though better bargain on
the part of this county, has been
looked upon by the majority Of the
voters as dangerous, ruinous and
wrong.
Reading the selectmen lesson
by Gripping their hands as to the
county business because of the wrong
doing of their predecessors, is a queer
way to deal out justice. And the bulk
of the people, seem to lose sight of the
fact that they are hitting themselves,
not the selectmen, and that they, not
the county officers. have to pay the
eight per cent which they seem to
think preferable to five.
Meanwhile, the county must continue
to pay eight per cent instead of five
on the existing debt, and the people
who have to foot the bill seem to
think they have done good thing by
refusing cheap money. while the Groes-
beck company rejoice over their sue
cess in getting money not quite so
cheap as that which the county re-
jected. It's a funny world and wisdom
does not always dwell in the noodles
of majorities..

rage is in the main good article.
The first section is all that the most
ardent advocates of equal suffrage
could desire. It meets the demand of
the great majority Of the people of this
territory in straightforward and
manly way. 1t means what it says

suffrage, as the delegates dissenting

The pledges of the respective parties,

THE REPUBLICAN RECORD.


The Republican party, by its course
in the constitutional convention, has
demonstrated what has been frequent
" charged against it; that it is a
party of expedients rather than princi-
pies, and that it has no respect for
rules even of its own making when
policy calls for their violation.
The departure from all precedent ard
regulations governing legislative
bodies. in the start, in order to force
upon the convention a policy devised
in caucus, has not only exhibited the
disposition we refer TO, but also the
evils to which 1T leads. The plumbers
AMI incompetency displayed by the
individuals thus thrust upon the con-
vention. reflect anything but credit
upon the party that perpetrated the
wrong.
In committee of the whole, the
has manifested the same lack of
respect for rules and regard for princi-
pie. Reversing one day the ruling of
the day before, making one decision
for a Republican and another for a
Democrat, he has the hardihood to
confess that he paid no attention to
rules, although they were adopted as
law to the convention, but decided as
he thought best to facilitate businessi
That is Republicanism, through and
through. 1t cares nothing for con-
sistency, stops at no barrier of right,
hesitates at no improperly. In the
language of ingalls,. its policy is
simply Get There" The record of
Republicanism in the convention must
not be lost sight of in the coming con-
test for the supremacy of parties. 1t
is a striking illustration of the spirit
and methods of the party Of sectional
ism and selfishness, of Capitalization
and implied powers. 1t should be held
up in the full light of day for the peo-
pie Of Utah to behold and beware.

AN EIGHT HOUR LAW.

In discussing the question of the
rights of labor. The Herald few
days ago made reference to the eight
hours rule for a days work. We en-
dorsed the idea that eight hours is suf-
ficient for a days labor, and agreed
with the proposition that this should
be made legal in reference to public
works. But we objected to the incor-
poration of such restriction in the
State Constitution, and expressed. the
opinion that it would be in conflict
with the Constitution of the United
States, which had been formally adopt
ed for the State of Utah.
A correspondent in Coalville wants
to know the exact provision of the ma
tional Constitution in which that is to
be found, and favors the eight hour
law as part of the state constitu-
ton, also compulsory two-weeks
pay law.
We do not wish to be understood as
claiming that there is an express pro-
hibition in the Constitution of the
United States against making eight
hours a legal days work. But we
believe that such provision in refer
ence to anything but public works
would be contrary to the spirit of two
constitutional provisions. One for
bidding any State law impairing the
obligation of contracts. and the other
against a State law which abridges
the privileges or immunities of citi-
zens. (See section of article 1 and
article xi of the amendments)
The Supreme Court of Illinois has
recently ruled that an eight hour law
in reference to female labor, is an in
fringement of the Constitutional pro-
vision that: mo person shall be de-
prived of life, liberty or property with
out due process of law" The court
held that labor is the property of the
individual, and the liberty to dispose of
it as best one may is an inalienable
right of the citizen. Process of law,
has frequently been decided, judiciaIly,
to mean lawful trial before a court
of competent jurisdiction, and not
merely a legislative provision
We believe that under the freedom
sought to be secured to citizens by
the supreme law, every person must
have the liberty to enter into such
contracts and obligations in reference
to his labor as he chooses or will be
satisfactory to him. That he should

CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION.

The convention acted rightly in Civ
ing the large cities, which are specially
interested in the question of local
rights in reference to the liquor traf-
fic, representation on the committee to
whom has been referred the prohibi-
tion question.
As The Herald has pointed out more
than once, the, right to regulate or
suppress the manufacture and sale of
dntoxicants, ought to be vested in the
local authorities, for the reason that
the conditions and sentiments Of the
people in different localities differ
widely on this important matter. The
people IN those districts that desire
prohibition should not be given power
10 establish it in those districts that
are opposed to it.
To submit the question to the whole
people of the state would probably
have the effect of infringing the liber-
ties of thousands of citizens. We think
it likely that the great body of the
agricultural population would favor
the entire suppression of the liquor
traffic. The mining and city popula-
fions would most emphatically dissent
from that But they would agree to
such restrictions as the Incorporate
and law-abiding majority would i'm
pose, for the benefit of the public
with due respect to the liberty Of IN
dividuals.
We are therefore opposed to the pro-
ject of submitting a question that is
properly local in its application to the
vote of the whole people of the terri
tory. The inhabitants of the counties
remote from Salt Lake and Ogden
should not decide what shall be the
local policy of those cities, but it
should be left to municipal regula-
tion.
If the Constitution confers on the
legislature power to enact such laws
as may be necessary for the control
of the liquor traffic, that will be all
that is needed on the subject N the
fundamental law. Enactments might
follow. giving power to the respective
cities and counties to prohibit and sup
press or regulate and restrain the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants, as
the large majority of their inhabitants
may decide.
The constitution of the State Of Tex
as has this provision:
"The Legislature shall, at its first
session. enact a law whereby the quail
led voters of any county, Justices pre-
cinct, town, city, Cor such subdivision
of a county as may be designated by
the commissioners court of said coun-
ty) may by a majority vote determine
from time to time, whether the sale
of Intoxicating liquors shall be prohib-
tied within the prescribed limits"
We do not present this as the exact
model for the provision in the Utah
Constitution, but it conveys the sense
of what would be proper if the prohi-
Tition principle is to be incorporated
at all in our state system.
The liberty of the citizen should be
preserved inviolate. It is only when
that liberty breaks out into covert
acts .sgainst peace and good order
that it becomes necessary to restrain
it. Let the good sense and the appre-
citation of personal freedom which
should quite the statesman, prevail in
the convention over the fads of ex-
tre1nists and the disposition of fanatics
to bring all people to their standard of
propliety and right. l

LENT.

This is the season of the year
A maiden's soul to try;
If she may read her title clear
To mansions in the sky.
Here are few
Seen by the way,
And what they do
Or what they say.
The young and lovely Vassar miss
To rebel thought gives vent,
For many d cherished dream of bliss
She'll dr~am no more through Lent.
"Alas!' she says,
"Ill chew no gum
In forty days
For Lent has come.
Chicago's rash, misguided girl,
With earthly joys content.
Her Trilby foot, in giddy whirI,
Will shake in spite of Lent.
Wen dance" cries she,
And fiirt. 1 yum,
For what care we
If Lent be Gomez"
The calm, aesthetic Boston maid
Needs not to change her bent;
But just looks naturally staid-
Shes always playing Lent
With upturned eyes
And accents glum,
She sits and signs
That Lent has come!
But our own dear Manhattan girl.
BY pious thoughts intent,
Demurely smooths each truant curl
ana tucks them in for Lent.
Then softly sings
The tie Deum,"
And folds her wings
For Lent is come.

be free to work for such a sum per
day at as many hours as he pleases to
contract for. And that employers
should be at liberty to make such
terms and enter into such obligations
as will be mutually agreeable with
their employees without restriction Of
law. Also that these are constitu-
tional liberties and cannot be abridged
or impaired by State laws.
The tendency of many so-called
labor movements is to infringe upon
the liberty of labor as well upon the
rights of capital. In efforts to cur
tail the latter. agitators unintention-
ally forge letters for the former. The
spirit of the national constitution is
that of freedom. It tends to indi-
vidual liberty as full and complete as
is compatible with the general well
fare.
Workmen have the right to combine
and agree that they will not work
except for "a given price or for so many
hours day, and that they must be
paid once week or at any other
stated period. But the State has no
right to force these arrangements up
on employers. The right to enter into
and maintain the obligations of con-
tracts is secured to all citizens and
their freedom in this respect must be
maintained and not impaired by law.
The state may make regulations as
to a legal days work and the price it
will pay for public services of all
pose those restrictions on individuals.
If the state may limit the hours of
labor. it may limit the prices of labor
in every private concern. That would
not be a good thing either for labor or
capital, and would be destructive of
much of that liberty which the Consti-
tuition of the United States was franz
ed and adonfad IN DreSerVe inViOlate
