TOM MOORE AS A POLITICAL
ISSUE.

The name of Tom Moore, the Irish
poet, was omitted from the roll of poets
inscribed on the walls of the congress
sional library. This fact, recently dis
covered, has aroused the Ancient Order
of Hibernians of Washington, and they
are now preparing an appeal to all the
members Of the order in this country
in order that pressure may be brought
to bear upon congress to have the
omission rectifed. The stir they have
created has developed some things
of which is that the omission was
not accidental. but premeditated It
develops that while in this country
Moore wrote a number Of very bitter
poems against Americans. and that he
even wrote some pointed, unpleasant
and scarcely printable things about
Jefferson, who was president of the
United States at the time. These
poems" it appears. have been coll
lected in a single volume, and the de-
liberate insult to the president of the
United States is the cause for the omis-
sion of Moore's name from the honor
roll of poets
But it is highly humorous that the
quick wit of the Washington Hiber-
mans did not see the humor OF attempt
ing to make Moore a political issue and
bringing pressure to bear upon con-
gress to have him recognized in the
list of great poets; Moore himself would
have seen it. Should the Washing
ton Hibernians succeed in their present
undertaking they may feel encouraged
to bring still further pressure to bear
upon congress to have it pass joint
resolution declaring that Moore is a
greater poet than Shakespeare; and
this would be master stroke in poll
tics, for the bard of Avon was an
Englishman, and almost anything that
is English is good politics in the
United States. If the Ancient Order of
Hibernians is going to take up this
matter, it wants to take it up in all its
ramifcations and deal with it thor
oushIy.

Emperor William is claiming credit
for the invention of new war machine
called "battle-line destroyer" It is a
sort of motor car of thick steel. with
portfolios for machine guns. and in it
are dozen soldiers, who are thus pro-
tected from the enemy. The machine is
to charge right down into the enemy's
Ine. firms Volley after volley as it goes.

entire army. if not blown up or stopped

that the emDeror's invention is merely
the war chariot of the ancients in a
modern dress. and that it has been
talked of and condemned by practical
military men for years.

THE VAUDEVILLE COMBINE.
Important Changes That VIII Result

Chicago. Oct sam important
change in the affairs of the big yaude-
vile combine directed by Messrs. Kohl,
Hopkins and Castle of this city and
controlling the vaudeville interests OF
nearly the entire territory west of New
York, WAS made here today, when the
Orpheum circuit of the Pacific coast
was dropped. According to the state
ment of local managers who have the
affairs Of the big circuit in hand, Di-
rector Gus Walter of the Orpheum cir
cult insisted on performers going &c
the coast for the same salaries they
obtained through the east and this part
of the country, and in justice to the
performers playing in the eight the
aires directly booked by the combine
and nearly a score of other auxiliary
houses in the central west it was de-
cided to drop the extreme western enc
of the circuit in all negotiations with

have heretofore been double the amount
received elsewhere, due to the heavy

PRESIDENT WcoDRUFFs Elk
PLANTATION

On Thursday the Tribune and Des-
eret News both gave explanations of
President Woodruff's political sermon.
delivered in the'tabernaeIe Wednesday.
Yesterday he gave his own explanation
in an interview that was prepared for
the Tribune. The explanation cannot
be characterized as anything less than
remarkable. and it fails to reconcile the
language used in the sermon with
what was the intended meaning, ac-
ccrding to the interview. This will be
made self-evident by placing the Ian
SuaGe of the sermon, as found in the
official report, beside the language

if it were so accepted it still remains

President woodruff's explanation will
have the effect to act at least as a par

the necessity for preaching political
sermons that have to be explained?

Provo Enquirer: The official stenog-
raphie report of President Woodrun's po-
litical speech at the close of the general
conference does not at all place him in
the light of advising the abandonment
OF nationl party lines, as the Salt Lake
Herald has sought to make 1t appear.
He simply took the same stand that the
non-partiSanS have taken for some time,
by saying 1T Is your duty to unite in
eIecting good men to govern and control
your cities, your local affairs, and he
adds that il you do not do this you
are losers of the blessings of almighty
! God. Just before giving that splendid
! advice, he says that 1.-The day has come
when God almighty requires at your
hands to unite in your temporal business
and in Your politics so far as It Is VS.

tremes in Democracy and RepubhcaniSm
as far as is wise in that matter, and in
other than local matters as Ldtter-1aW
! Saints unite together within your party
| lines and appoint good men,"
That kind of doctrine viii not sound
at all strange to readers of Enquirer, for
| this paper has advocated the same orin-
c.pIes and given practically the same ad-
! commenced the non-partipan movement
| The people have endorced the policy of
the enquirer by putting non-partisun
| ticket in the field in most cities where
municipal elections are being held. Those
tickets generally contain the names of
good men. and we have no doubt they
| will be elected.
We advise all Latter-day Saints to study

careful perusal.
