To thu taxpayers of Salt Lake county

Of county commissioners. They are
the financial and business agents Of

The Pennsylvania railroad is row at
tempting to convince the sapreme
court of New Jersey that instead of
being a state highway it's roadbed is
strictly a private preserve which the
state is bound to protect from all mer-
chants and traders engaged in inter-
state commerce who wish to cross it
without consent of the Pennsylvania
roads directory. This extraordinary
position is taken in behalf of the
Standard Oil company. which is trying
to keep the United States Pipe Line
company away from New York city.

Yet there are those who tell us that
trusts are public benefactors.
Nor is this contest made by the Penn

the first Of the kind in which it has

those familiar with the operations OF

1t IS not the purpose to here review

interpose the power Of his Office to

call him an anarchist and denounce him
as a menace TO society, but any man
who appreciates the danger that
threatens the country through the I'M

control of legislatures and railroad

left in it's wake, should be sufficient
TO command for him the support of

has constantly found Great Britain in
her way.
And while the two governments have
thus FLASHED in Europe, England has
been reseniful because of Germany's
disposition to encroach upon her pres

This came to a head when Emperor
William sent his famous message to

lie at the time of the Jameson raid.

Now Germany is in state of alarm
over the understanding which she
thinks has been arrived at between
England, France and Russia, and pop

itself on all sides. If such an entente
has been established, it means that
German ambition to dominate Europe
will be curbed, and that great aues-
tons affecting the political balance
of the continent will be considered in

It is difficult to believe that HOSTILE

has leased TWO pages in the Chicago

TALES OF THE DAY.
Mistaken For once.

The Washington Post has paragraph
about pretty girl and a woman who
knows everything, the scene of the story
being the deck of a Potomac steamer.
The girl was slender and graceful. Her
eyes were dark and sleepily brilliant. She
was languid and she wore a ruined pink
muslin gown. The woman who is never
mistaken marked her.
That's a tyocal southern girl" she
said to me- You never see a northern
girl wear a gown like that. Didn't you
notice her high-arched foot, too, and her
ianguor? The northern girl is always SO
abrupt and brisk, and
Just then the typical southern girl
lifted her hands III surprise at some
thing a companion was saying.

know
And the woman who knows everything

Lynch law is something that should
be detested in every law-abiding com
n1unity, but it would be salutary if it
could be invoked in Germany for the
punishment of some of the petty ty-
rants who outrage the rights of the
people under the protection of military
rules. A few days ago an officer killed
a citizen because the latter iostled
against his chair in a restaurant, and
the dispatches inform US that he will be
punished lightly, if at all. When JUS
tice fails in that way an appeal to
Judge Lynch's court might be COM
mendable. When we learn that such
things can be done in civilized coun-
try without provoking revolution, we
realize to what a state the people of
that country have been reduced, and
more fully appreciate the blessings Of
freedom that we enjoy.

THE COMMON SENSE VIEW.

When man like Judge Dickson an
nounces it as his purpose to give his
support to the Democratic ticket the
impelling force of the motives govern
ing candid men in this campaign can
be understood. The Judge is one of
those who will not stop at voting for
Bryan, but will aid in sending men to
the two houses of congress who will
hold I'D the hands of a free coinage
president; and it may be added that
his example viii cause multitude who
have been undecided to come to a
decision at once.
It is inconsistent in the extreme to
vote for a free coinage president and
at the same time to vote for legisla-
tive candidates who would send to the
senate g man politically opposed TO the
executive. A Democratic senator would
be an ally of free coinage Demo-
cratic president at all times, whereas
q Republican senator would be affil-
lated with those who would be con-
tinually endeavoring to tie the presi-
dents hands on the financial issue and
on all allied questions.
The same is true OF the representa-
tive. Utah needs men in both houi ss- !.
who will affiliate with the party that
will be charged with the duty of car
rying through the legislation desired
and that win be the arc-..teent's sup
port in congress; the state cannot af-
ford to send men there who are mem
bers Of party that Will antagonize
Bryan and defeat free coinage legisla-
ton If possible.
Judge Dickson has taken the only
consistent position. The Herald be-
lieves The voting win show large

One cannot but feel highly encour-

such demonstrations as those which

that scenes of that kind would be
witnessed unless the masses of the
people were earnestly supporting him
