Each beer wagon has two hor es
harnessed to it, They usally match
pretty well. But so far as their work
is concerned, one may be white and
the other one black. Take either
horse out of the team, and the wag
on stops. Now the names of these
horses are License Voter and Ii
cerise User. They are both the
same stock, License stock, herce
their first names are the same. 30
for convenience we will drop the
first or stock name, and call them
by their Christian" names, so to
speak Voter and User. Voter is a
little older than User. Voter may
may sometimes be white, and then
some people say it is a shame for
that beautiful white horse to work
at such business but then he is in
the harness of his owner, either Mr..
Republican Party or old Anti
(aunty) Sumptuary, and he does
not know any way to get out, and
so he pulls the beer wagon around.
He may sometimes fii'k around "A
little before he Is harnessed, but the
strorg sons Of his owners hold him,
and he submits and is lead to his
place by the side of his black mate.
One horse is Just as responsible Tor,
and therefore, Just as guilty OF the
effects of the beer he hauls around
as the other one. But the black
horse, User, is sometimes, many
times, abused and beaten and hated
and condemned for all the evil
done. The humane society would
arrest beer wagon driver il he were
to so numerically abuse one horse
and let the other one go tree, when
both are in the same business. Will
God. therefore, condemn and pun
lsh the users of licenses, and crown
with uLfading glory the voters for
licenses Would not this be as un-
Just as to whip the black horse in

cents day including SUNDAYS,
every day in the year for all the beer

is true ten cents day amounts to
$50 80 year; but, excuse me, | do
not want the three brand new suits
Of clothes could buy for thst mon

to the clothes. Neither do | want
to divide this money and get myself
three good pair of S4 shoes, which
would be $12, six shirts at 81 eacn,
nor two good 50 hats. This makes
a total of $24, and then have Sl2 90
left to purchase a suit Of clothes.
No, my friend, prefer to go look
ing somewhat seedy than to give up
the regular drinking which has be-
come a habit with me.
| know that can obtain an in
surance policy of ~ 600 in some
fraternal organization which will
cost me about $32 a year, but what
is the use of dying to leave your

ABOUT 3. Il. ROBERTS,

We are much pleased TO note the fol-
lowing article 10 the last issue Of the
Provo Christian Advocate aud repro
duce IL with pleasure. The Advocate
says;
A bill was passed In the Lower House
OF the United States Congress some
DAYS ago that viii debar the Hon.
b. II. Roberts OF Utah. II he Is guilty
OF grosg violation OF the law relating
10 polygamy this Is right. Polygamy
IS regarded as crime by the people Of
the United States. II he Is guilty Of
the charges made we concur 10 the ac-
ton. And the evidence against him
seems CONCLUSIVE. But we are emphat-
ically opposed TO blaming the consIi-
tpency of lhR Mormon church. People
should remember that there are thou
sands of law abiding citizens In Utah
who are as sincere in their religious
belief as | am IN mine. asa preacher OF
IN the Methodist church, / have had
business relations with them and par
ticularly with one irm In the city. and
have found them as honorable and true
as any one have ever known. i meet
them daily IN my duties and regard
them in the highest esteem. We have
no objection TO the condemnation OF
the bad, but we do object TO the con-
condemnation os the good. And there
are many, Mormous and non-Mormons,
who hold these opinions
While we do not concur in all Of this
above, we helisYe it to be the faires
and most temperate statement mad,

prthodox CHRISTIAN churches. Tha

rsLEcr BY DIRECT VOTE

Under the above heading the last 49,
sue of the Juab County Republican,
says:
the senatorial contests now waging
In the various States furnish arguments
enough for he election of the senators
by the people direct.
ia several States we hear charges Of
bribery, md the legislatures instead OF
making laws for the benefit Of the vari-
pus commOnwealths, are principally en-
gagged IN making hay" by the lamp
light. In Mon'ana we End $780, 600 paid
into the State treasury by one OF its
senators who claimed to have received
the same AS brbe, from one Of It's
f.worthy aspirants" for the senatorial
toga.
Even our owe State is not free from
suspicion, and the ''bnrreH candidate
at present lends 10 the race.
1t Is no wonder that the senate has
fallen into 1isrepute in these latter
days, that is called the millionaires'
club and that men OF acknowledged
ability are few and far between among
our new senators.
So long as senators are chosen by the
few, instead OF the many. so long will
INSCRIPTIONS men OF means or their
:'heelers'' endcavor 10 buy their way
into the senate, and Just that long will
the people be unable to resent 1t.
Let the senators be elected by the
people at large as our congressmen are,
aud not only will men of other quail-
cations than fat pocket books be select
ed as candidates for the suffrages OF the
people, but the whole tone OF the SEN
ate will he changed; ability will replace
nedlocriiy aud honesty and indepen-
dence VIII take the place OF seli-seek-
ing subserylance to the demands Of
corporate greed.
This is another evidence of the all
pervadlng sentiment In favor Of pop
lilar vote for Upited States Senators,
or course. Brother DeWar forgot that
the principle was one Of Demo
crazy of else he Is almost ready to quit
the party of corporations and wealth.

A most remarkable address was de.
livered 10 the Salt Lake theater Thurs.

sees" For eloquence the address was
superb. for inyectlve II was unsur-
passed, and the applause aud COM
mendation of the audience was unani-
nous. Senator Cannon, we believe,
told many truths, and as an unpreju.
diced listener, we accord to him al
praise. AS 10 either the wisdom or
prnprlety Of his address we are. not
prepared 70 pass an opinion owing TO
our limited knowledge OF the condi-
ton Of which he spoke, but we eau say
that he swayed an immense audience
and that the light OF truth seemed TO
fash from his eyes. What ultimate
effect It may have on the Senatorial
problem. remains at this writing
an uncertainty. but the report Of yes
terday shows at least one vote gained
by lhe senior Senator aud undoubtedly
due to his speech. There are matters
touched upon in Senator Cannon's
speech which we do not care TO men
tion or comment upon, because we are
not cognizant OF the inside facts of the
Senatorial controversy. We regret
that we are unable In rpnruduca the
talk in full but 1t has undoubtedly al
Ieady been carefully perused by all Of
our readers. You can form your own
conclusions. One facl remains that
Senator Cannon has been "A true repre-
sentative OF Utah. and that as United
States Sena or from the Baby State"
he has made most envlable record
We are glad we heard his address.
