IMPoSSIBILITY OF NoN-PARTI-
SANSHIP.


In Chicago they have a Municipal
Voters League. 1t is u non-partisan
affair, and only seeks to control public
offices for the public good: but it does
not meet with the approval of the In
ter-Ocean. The Inter-Ocean, being
blinded by Republicanism. fails to see
and appreciate the merit of the league.
1t says the difficulty that prevents the
establishment of non-partisan govern
ment is the difficulty Of finding non
partisan man; it declares that he does
not exist; that he never did exist; that
he never will exist. That may be true
in Chicago, but it would not be here
in Salt Lake City. Here they flourish
like a green bay tree, and they are all
truly non-partisan because they say
they are; were it not for their declara-
tons one might consider them partisan
because they act just like people who
are partisan.
1t is evident that the Inter-Ocean is
a wicked paper, because of what it says
about non-partisanship. 1t says the
Christian is not Christian for three hun
dred and sixty-four consecutive days
and non-partisan on the three hun
dred and sixty-ffth day. which may
be the one day in which he is to de-
termine whether the pulpit of his
church is to be filled by Christian or
a secularist teacher; that on that day he
is in the very apogee of craftsmanship
NO man can be a Republican on every
day except election day, and in that
supreme crisis be something else than
Republican, says the Inter Ocean.
The twaddle of craftsmanship is
ridiculous in that it takes for granted
the possibility of non-partisanship az
any time, and most ridiculous in that
it would eliminate partisanship from
the climacteric struggle between par
ties"
That argument cannot be controvert-
ed. The non-partisan is one who is op-
posed to existing parties. that is ALL
The attempt to foist -partisanship
on this city was made last fall, but
happily failed. Had it been successful
no doubt the attempt would have been
made to foist it on the county and then
on the state. There is no place for non
partisanship in the scheme of American
politics. In our own city there has
rarely been seen more intense parti-
sanship displayed than has been and
is being displayed by the few non-par-
tisans who We're elected, while all the
talk about the public welfare and the
apparent solicitude for it doesn't de-
ceive any one. Non-partisan officials
are quite as amenable to the demands
by their supporters for the pound of
flesh as are poor weak partisan Off
Gals, only they do not call it a pound
of flesh when they comply with them.

EX-PRESIDENTS.

The perennial question, What shall
we do with our ex-presidents? is once
more calling forth newspaper comment.
The New York World discusses it in a
very sensible way. II says that We
have only two ex-presidents, and that
both of them are doing pretty well.
Mr. Cleveland is rich enough to be
negotiating for land on which to es-
tablish a game preserve" says the
World Meantime he has two or three
residences, and if he needed an income
there are scores Of law firms in this
city that would be glad to give it to
him for the mere use of his name,
without the smallest interference with
his fishing or shooting. Mr.. Harrison
is practicing law, and is able enough
as a lawyer to earn all the money he
needs. An ex-president usually has
comfortable fortune saved out of his
$2oo.0O salary. If he has not. he has
at least a prestige that greatly in
creases his earning capacity. So far
as "a job is concerned he is not worse
off, but better off, than other men of
like capacity. And if an ex-president
wants to serve his country he has the
example of John Quincy Adams, who,
after leaving the White House, served
for nearly a score of years in congress,
doing there better work and winning
larger fame than he had done in the
presidency. There is nothing to pre-
vent Mr.. Harrison's election to con-
gress. and if Mr.. Cleveland chooses he
can run for governor in New Jersey"
There is just as much reason to pro-
vide for ex-governors. eX-senators. ex-
representatives, and all the other pos
sible official ex's as for ex-presidents
The great desire some have to provide
for them is nothing more than a linger-
ing fondness for something in the royal
line. Just now there seems to be an
craving for royalty and
all that goes with it with many people !
in this country. 1t is a silly thing and |
Our ex-presidents are not worrying /
about what win become of them; why |
should anyone else?

A STRANGE PROCEEDING.

/ 1t appears that Governor Leedy of
Kansas has framed a railroad bill
which he wants enacted into law. But
he doesn't know whether the legislat-
ure will enact the bill if called together,
so he is sounding the members to as
certain whether they favor or are op-
posed to the bill; if he finds that a ma
jority favor the bill he will convene the
legislature, but if majority is against
it he will not.
To ascertain whether a legislature
state the expense of an extra SEES
sion, but it is in rather bad taste for
the governor to draw up a bill and try
and get members to pledge themselves
to vote for it, and if they will not, re-
fuse to call the Legislature together
If there is urgent need in Kansas for
railroad legislation the Legislature
should be called together to consider
the situation, but it should not be called
to simply pass cut and dried bill. one
on which it has not fully deliberated
The probabilities are that there is no
need of railroad legislation in Kansas,
and even if there is it can hardly be of
such pressing Importance as to justify
calling the Legislature together in extra
session. Enough bad legislation is in
flicted on all the states at the regular
sessions of the legislature without hav-
ing any extra session, and every state
in the Union suffers from too much
legislation rather than from too little.
Governor Leedy will hardly be able to
get members of the Kansas legislature
to pledge themselves to him to war
rant him in calling the extra session.
