4 DISPLAY OF NoN-PARTIsAN
GALL.

Technically" says the Deseret News.
the non-partisan movement only sue
ceeded in electing the mayor, auditor
and four councilmen: but in a broader
sense it may be said, with q consider
able degree of truth, that non-partisan-
ism elected all the successful candi-
dates. Thus four of them were on the
Citizens Reform ticket, eight were on
the Democratic, and three were on the
Republican. The general officers and
the city council are divided between the
three tickets. These facts show conclu-
sively that party lines were disre-
garded to a great extent, and that party
machinery was only able to do its work
very imperfectly."
Further on in the same article our
contemporary says:
There can be little doubt that the non
partisan agitation caused this heavy
detection from party lines, and the re-
suit as whole shows that a large
proportion of the voters sought the
success Of those whom they deemed
good men rather than of party, a con-
dition which forbids the manifestation,
by the successful candidates after they
are installed in Office, of partisan bias
in the making of appointments or other
exercise Of power. The News thinks the
candidates-ele would do we'll to take
this view, and if they viii the city will

To claim that the non artisans in

Fourth and one in the Second, is to
make an absolutely unfounded claim.
The onlv ones aside from these five

Mr.. Henry Wallace. He was the reg

very peculiar way in which to assist in
the election of candidates not on that
ticket. Why not claim that those who

not worth contending about.

COLORADO SENTIMENT ON THE
UTE KILLING.

1t IS not to be presumed that the
people of Colorado favor the wanton
killing of Indians any more than the
people of Utah do, and it appears that
there is a strong division of opinion at
Rifle as to the justifiableness of the
course of the game wardens. A special
dispatch from there to the Denver Post
says that the moral aspect of the In
dian matter is represented by two ele-
ments, all of which are more or less
connected financially with the north
western portion of the state. 1t is
stated that one element condemns the
game Wardens, who are charged with
needlessly killing six Indians and
wounding the two squaws. They charge
that some of the wardens pursued the
course they did because they desired
to make a reputation. These also scout
the stories of the encounters with the
Indians and their squaws. and very
reasonably say that if the Indians had
shown any desire to resist they would
have used firearms instead of their
fists; while no credence whatever is
placed in the stories of hairbreadth
escapes told by some of the deputies.
The dispatch says that the element
that does not take the above view has
desired the absolute expulsion of the
Indians from Colorado and holds that
to accomplish this end any means is
justifable SUIT it is said that even
those who hold this view are of the
opinion that Deputy Warden Wncox's
men could have reached the same end
without so much killing, though they
believe the killing Vii prevent future
incursions into Colorado.
The dispatch closes by saving that
the Utes have always maintained that
when they were removed to the reser-
walton in Utah they reserved the right
to hunt in the territory which has seen
them each autumn for years. So far
as known. this contention has never
been satisfactorily denied by the white
man, and the old settlers who are ia
nliliar with the history of the tribe
therefore believe that next year the
bucks will come again from the agency
to secure deer skins and venison, and
perhaps wreak vengeance for the kill
ing Of their brethren this wear.
The killing of the Indians is most
lamentable affair, and the Post dis
patch shows that those near the scene
Of the tragedy are convinced that the
affair was a wanton one. 1t has put
blot upon the name of Colorado, and
one that IL win be no easy matter to
remove. There should be a thorough
investigation Of the killing, for the
more that is known of it, the blacker
it looks.

TO SHOOT OR NOT TO SHOOT
Arranging a Poker Game Before
hand.

Sunday Republic: Things We're getting
a little slow in the smoking car, and
when one of the four passengers pro-
posed a game of euchre tine other three
readily agreed to take hand. One of
them was "a cowboylsh looking chap,
about 80 years old, and as he seated him
self to begin the game, he inquired
Gentlemen, shall we have a fair under
standing before we begin business"
why we are TO play railroad euchre,
aren't WEI" replied one CT the others.
Il expect so. but l thought it would be
just as well to know before hand how
many aces thar is to be in the pack. I've
played without any, and I've played with
six. Shall we say four aces and keep ii
at that?'
The other three thought four aces would
be about enough, and that being settled,
the cowboy continued:
NON, as to disputes. If we call each
other liars, is it to stop thar or shall
shootin' foller? I've played whdr' it
stopped, and I've played whar l had to
shoot the men on my right and left. It's
all the same to me- only I'd like to know
which way it isl''
1t was very speedily decided that there
was to be no shooting, and the cowboy
bowed to the majority and said:
i've played whar' the joker took the
right bower. and I've played whar a ten
spot took the joker. In the latter case

THE MAYoR-ELECT.

Mr.. John Clark has been elected
mayor of Salt Lake City by a small
plurality. That he will make an honest
and conscientious mayor no one who
knows him doubts. We also believe
that he will make a capable mayor and
that it will be his aim to discharge the
duties of his Office as he sees them.
The objection to Mr. Clark is in no
sense personal. but political. He was
elected mayor as the result of move
ment that was in no sense spontaneous.
in no sense popular. He was chosen by
a committee that gave proof positive of
its distrust of the people and their ca
pacity for self government by it's every
move. Moreover, the only thing that
saved the movement of which his cleo
ton is a result is the fact that the
church leaders came to its res
cue, factor that is always
potent whenever it is introduced
into politics in this state How
amenable to the influence of the power
that championed his cause Mr.. Clark
viii be, or whether that power viii I'M
dertake to influence him in his official
conduct, time alone can tell.
We recognize in Mr.. Clark the
mayor-elect of the whole city, and when
he shall have been installed in office
and have entered upon the discharge
of the duties of his Office, The Herald
will cheerfully give him it's support in
all his efforts to serve and further the
best interests of the city and its citi-
zens and to give the city an honest and
economical administration. always re-
serving the right to make such COM
ments and criticisms as it shall deem
proper and warranted; and also the
right to say when the best interests of
the city and the citizens are being fur
thered, and when not.

"sWEATING' MEN CHARGED
WITH CRIME.

A man in Denver is held on the
charge of numbering his wife, and he
has finally confessed to killing her, but
claims that it was accidental. This
confession was not voluntary, but was
extorted from him through What is
known in police parlance as the sweat
ing process" In plain English, this
process may he termed torture and
nothing else. Those who are subjected
to it are maltreated in manv ways,
starved, threatened, cajoled, placed in
sweat boxes where it is quite impos-
sible for them to stand up or lie down
at length, and withal box into which
no light can come. The purpose OF
subjecting a man to the sweating
process is to get him into condition
where his nerves are completely I'M
strung. and he will be willing to make
any promise or confession that may be
demanded of him that he may thereby
escape his present torture. If the pro-
cess is vigorously applied the victim
generally succumbs. 1t was to this
process that this Denver man was sub
jected.
This man was probably tortured in a
way that would have challenged the
admiration of Spanish inquisitors or
Iroquois Indians. Those who inflicted
it had no legal or moral right to do as
they did The prisoner was charged
with a crime, not convicted of it, and
in the eyes of the law was presumed
to be innocent. He was also entitled
TO treatment as an innocent man. The
court before which he may come for
trial should refuse to admit his confess
sion as evidence, for it was extorted
from him and his tormentors would
probably have continued to Sweat"
him until they got what they wanted.
The law does not favor evidence that is
procured in any such manner, even 60
ing so far as to froWn upon evidence
voluntarily given by prisoners to Off
GERS; it does this because it is against
the policy of the law. Even man
charged with the most heinous crime
known to man has his rights, and they
must be respected.
This Denver case now bids fair to
draw attention to a horrible practice
that is but too common, and that
should be stopped; and the drawing of
attention to it may serve the purpose
Of helping TO stop it.

successful candidates after they are in
stalled in office, of partisan bias in the
making Of appointments or other eXer
else OF power" And it thinks that all
the candidates. would do we'll to
take this view
Indeed! Isn't this proposition that
the tail shall wag the dog? Those
members of the next administration
who are non-partisans were elected as
partisans, and the n-partisans did
all in their power to defeat them. Why
should they become non-Dartisans af-
ter their election?
When the Democratic partisans are
installed in office their aim will be to
perform their duties as public officials;
and the fact that they are partisans
viii not prevent them discharging their
duties as they should. AS to the mat
ter of making appointments the Demo
cratic council should and will consider
them on their merits. If any attempt
should be made to use the appointments
to reward non partisan adherents who
devoted their time and labor to the
nOn-partisan cause, the Democratic
council should turn them down; its
powers in this direction are co-exten-
sive with the mayors, and there is no
reason in the world why the mayor
should be permitted to use the appoint
ing power to reward n-partisans any
more than the council should to reward
Democrats. We do not know that the
mayor will make any such attempt
but there are those who did what they
could to secure his election that will
urge him to such a course; of course
they will urge in the name of patriot
ism and not of party. Every appoint
nent to Office that the mayor makes
should be carefully scrutinized. and
whenever a colored gentleman's head
appears in the woodpile it should be
hit
The Democratic councilmen will not
stoop to any pettiness nor will they act
as though they were narrow minded
partisans always seeking to find some
thing on which they can differ from
the mayor because he was not elected
on the same ticket with themselves
They are broad and liberal minded cit
liens and will conduct themselves as
such, but they make no pretensions To
being comparisons.
