A YOUNG lady is reported to be keen
after the title Daughter of the Con-
federacy" laid down by Miss Winnie
Davis al her death. We don't see any,
thing particularly honorable or desir-
able in that title TO anyone of this
generation. To Miss Davis the title
came by right. She was born during
the throes of the Civil War. Her
father was practically the father of the
Confederacy. as he was Its head. The
title. II such 1t should be- called. came
therefore TO her naturally aud legiti'
mately But isn't II time those events
OF 1919 were forgotlenS II so. why
au attempt TO revive title which. APP
piled TO anyone else, would be oppro-
brlousp Let the tile die with its former
wearer and let all forget the trials,
strife and pangs of the Civil War.

county alone can support luxurously
every inhahitant of this State. How
to secure this result has not asyet been
discovered, but IL will be. This State
has modes Of living in settlements and
not on farms which differs from all the
others. Here and there the other

a WAR ISSUE.

A local paper in recent editorial
says:
"The only blot that has come upon
che war record of this country is the
criticism OF the administration, or
rather heads of departments, for the
sufferings of the soldiers"
That paper Is mistaken as to the
location OF that "blot." 1t comes not
from the criticism of the administers
ton, or heads of departments, but from
the fact that the administration, OF
heads of departments. II you will. have
so shame.ully neglected aud illtreated
our soldiers as to call forth these criti-
cisms. In such n country and govern
ment as this where free speech and a
free press Is guaranteed, II is q duty
the newspapers owe to themselves and
TO the people to call attention to such
fragrant abuses as seem TO have ex'
isted 10 the conduct of affairs by the
war department Our contemporary
refers to the newspaper reports OF the
illlreatment of soldiers as "unpatri
otto attacks" We do not so regard
them, but rather think the lack Of
patriotism is shown In the department
which permitted or fOstered the
abuses. Which Is The most patriotic
to conceal these disgraceful truths Sc
that the soldier may continue to suffe
and no discredit rest upon the admin
islration, or to expose the conditions
In order that negecttul, or almos
criminal, department is compelled t
remedy them? We think the latter Il
the patriotic course; our contemporar.
evidently prefers the former.

THE only logical reason which seems
to be advanced by Republican papers
why Alma Eldredge should be elected
is that he is solid financially and has
the support of men OF wealth. We
know of no stronger reason why Mr..
Eldredge should be defeated. This
nation is fast becoming "a nation diyi-
ded into the very rich on one hand and
the very poor on the other and the
reason is the support for political
Office Of such men as Eldredge whose
only possible claim TO political prefer
ment is their wealth. The arrogance
ard aggressions of wealth are what
will destroy American liberty II con-
tinued. As for ourselves we prefer the
support of man OF the people, not
one whose wealth is his only recon-
mendation.

CAMPAIGN OPENED.

The Democratic State campaign was
opened in Provo last Monday evening
by Fisher Harris, Hon. b. II. Roberts
and S. A. Kenner. Mr.. Roberts adj
dress clearly defined the great Issue Of
practical bimetalIsm upon which the
Democracy of Utah and of the Nation
will make their fight this year. We
are pleased to note that Mr.. Roberts
ignored local questions which some OF
the press busy-bodies have endeavored
TO induct into the campaign, but
clearly expUunded the great principles
upon which rest the Democratic
party, the party OF the people.
To Hon. Fisher S. Harris who made
the opening address Of the evening Is
due much praise for the noble manner
in which he has responded to the call
Of his party and is contributing TO the
success of his eistwhile opponent. Hon
s. A. Kepner, who closed the speaking
for the evening was In his most happy
vein, and his logical but humorous al
dress was greeted with much applause
The opening rally was n success ano

Democratic success in Utah county

THE Salt Lake Herald Of Sunday
says
Every voter in the State Of Utah
who supports the candidacy OF any
Republican. either directly or Indirect
ly, Is giving aid and comfort to the
goldhug party. The Tribune knows
that this is true. All of the Republican
politicians of the State know 1t. Nc
Kinley knows it. Hanna knows 1t.
And the people of the West ought to
know it,"
Yes, they all know 1t, but as the
only hope of Republican success lies 10
deceiying the voters the policy of de-
ceit is carried to the fullest limit.

A CONTEMPORARY refers to the fact
that there is s243, 600 900 gold reserve
in the United States treasury and gives
this fact as a proof that there is mo
particular lack OF money" Our con-
temporary evidently fails to consider
that this gold reserve was obtained by
the sale of unnecessary interest-bear'
ing bonds, and that in fact all OF the
people of the United States are now
engaged in paying interest on that
s243, 600, 900 which is lying Idle in the
treasury. No. there is "no particular
lack Of money" in the U. S. treasury
but how about us who have to pay in
'erest on that money?

The Sprlngville Independent in the
last issue says:
"The editor of the Herald Is wide OF
the facts when he asserts that "among
the various issues the one that is easily
first is that OF free silver" between the
Democratic and Republican parties,
and the respective platforms adopted
by them in this State this year. The
Herald does not explain very clearly
what it means. for where every politi-
cal party this year in Utah has a free
silver plank, reading alike, there can
not be an issue. for all are In accord P"
The editor Of the Independent well
knows that Notwithstanding the silver
plated plank in the Republican State
and county platform, still that party
even locally stands for the gold stand
ard OF the St. Louis platform. In fact
the Independent editor, recognizing
that the financial question is the issue,
attempted to align the Republicans OF
he county for the straight gold plat
form at the county convention. If free
silver Is not an issue, why did Brother
Leroy attempt to have the Republi.
cans of Utah county line up on the OPP
posite side of the question:

HIS ISSUE.

In his Monday evenings address Mr..
Roberts defined the issue Of the present
campaign as follows:
1.-The one great issue now is the
financial issue and in this campaign IL
is The only issue of importance The
Republican National convention in
1906 declared against silver and 1t has
not changed since that time"
That one issue is sufficient for any
candidate to stand upon.

WHERE DOES ELDREDoE sTAND9

Some prominent Republican papers
of the State, notably the Salt Lake
Tribune, Provo Enquirer, Park Record
and Manu Messenger, have had con
siderable to say lately in regard to
what Mr.. Roberts standing is on Ma
lional and State issues, but in all OF
these papers we have so far failed TO
find any expression as to the standing
of their own candidate. Mr. Roberts
has spoken in decided terms, and as TO
him there can now be no question. 1t
ever there was. He stands solldly on
the Chicago platform and for Utah
and Utah's interests. Mr.. Eldredge
on the contrary has never said on
which part Of the hybrid State plat
form he expects to stand aud how he
expects to reconcile its Inconsistencies.
Time is growing on apace and platl-
tudes will not MI the bill. Let him
come to the front. He is reported In
the Republican journals to be the can
didate OF the mining camps. III so,wilI
he kindly state whether he believes In
the financial plank of the st. Louis
platform and McKinley's attitude on
the same question, or whether he
stands upon aud will stay by the 16 tc
plank of the Utah State platform
There is wide range Olen TO the Re
publican candidate for explanations
and he should lose no time IN com
mencng them if he expects to finish
before the close of the campaign.
