STATE PRESS COMMENTS.
Hon. Tom Reed displayed good judg-
ment the other day when he refused 10
talk about what dead men might have
said and done.-Lehi Banner.
High Councillors Farr and Langton OF
Logan were interviewed by a Herald re-
porter and stated that the Tribune re-
port was substantially correct. Taken
the Democratic party has claimed all
along, that certain church leaders have
used their ecclesiastical influence to
make Utah Republican. 1t is a bad
will await the outcome with apprehen-
Slon.-Ephraim Enterprise
The county prosecuting attorney of
salt Lake at last seems to have gotten
hold of the right ropes, in the bribery
cases. The furniture agent, Hayken,
has turned states evidence against one
OF the ex-selectmen. Salt Lake county
was shamefully robbed in the furnishing
OF furniture for the county building. A
20 per cent. bride was accepted on the
deal.-Provo Enterprise.
Salt Lake business men have started
plan on foot for a grand inter-moun-
tam midsummer carnival, to take place
on July 2, 8. and 4, the event to be Utah S
celebration of her semi-centennial. To
make such an event the success it de-
serves Salt Lake will need the assistance
rangements are made, outside places
should give helping hand.-Mt. Pleasant

The Salt Lake Herald of last Sunday
contains a new declaration of independ-
ence which is followed by the resigna-
ton of the efficient editor, B. H. Rob
erts. The stand taken by The Herald
receives the hearty endorsement OF
every free thinking man. and evidently
means an entire and most radical change
IN the policy of that paper.-Tintic
Miner.
There may be some ambitious men
would Iike-and may strive-to regain a
political supremacy over the people, but
the seed of independence is sown now
and we are confident that the people can
be fully truSted.-Springville Independent.
The manifesto presented to the mem
bers of the Mormon church has created
quite little excitement and dissatisfac-
ton throughout the state. The different
papers of the state have taken up the
question, and those who openly OPP
posed it have many followers. This is a
very serious question, and it is to be
hoped that manly principle will govern
the action taken by all in this natter
Tooele Transcript.
The Enquirer has always been favor
able to non-partisanship in school cleo
tons, and shall advocate a non-partisan
in the past. Other towns in the county
may find it practicable, at the coming
election for trustees, to drop politics.
However that question is purely local,
opinion, by. the county central com
mittees of the respective parties. What
ever action they might take would hard
ly be binding in local affairs. If it were
the election of a county superintendent,
then the committees could well consider
the advtsabiity of a non-partSian ticket.
Provo Enquirer.
We regret to announce to our sub
scribers patrons and readers, that this
will be the last issue under our lease and
management of the Beaver Utonian.
Quite unexpectedly to us Mr.. Maeser
has sent for his plant to be packed up
and moved by wagon to Provo, where
he intends as soon as it reaches there to
publish weekly paper. If we have
given offense to any of our readers or
subscribers, in any of our editorials, we
certainly have not intended it, and while
plant, we feel assured in saying to the
people of Beaver City, that not many
months will pass before another weekly
or semi-weekly will be started in our
company, thoroughly equipped to exc;
cute any and every kind of job and
poster printing With thanks till you
hear from us again. we say EAU revoir."
GEORGE HALES-Beaver Utonian.
We shall advocate the interests of the
Republican party so long and so far as
the party shall adhere to our views, and
no farther, believing as we do that when
a party shall advocate doctrines di-
ametrically adverse to the interests of
the people that we owe it as duty to
say so without eQuivocation, hence we
shall not knowingly advocate the cleo
ton of any unfit person to office, nor the
adoption of any measure detrimental to
the people of Coalville and Summit coun-
ty-CoalVille Mail
The last Juvenile Instructor contains
an article by Hon. George Q. Cannon
concerning 1.-The struggle for wealth.
We know of no one calculated to handle
that subject like Mr.. Cannon.-Logan
Journal.
In all this whirlwind of talk CONCERN
ing church, state, manifesto and politics,
the Bugler's advice to its readers Is to
keep a clear head, attend strictly TO
your own business, and follow the die
tates of your own good common sense
Brigham City Bugler.
