j MORE WARNINGS.

The Live Stock Commission of Illinois
is raising merry mischief in the way of
frightening the people of that State re-
garding the milk they drink The COM
mission AYERS that an alarmingly large
percentage of cows are affected more
or less dangerously with tuberculosis,
and that this fact renders their milk
unfit for human consumption, Recent
" at Chicago the commission took
twenty-five cows from a herd of sixty
one found in two stock cars. The twen-
ty-five We're found, to have tuberculosis.
Next the commission went to Spring
field and selected twenty seven cows
from a herd Of forty-seven near that
city, and from which herd much of the
milk supplied to people in Springfield
came. The twenty-seven cows were
found to be afflicted with tuberculosis
In some form. The object OF the expert
ments was to establish the reliability of
the Koch test. All the cattle treated
We're apparently healthy; they were Sc
lected by reason of rising temperature
when the injection Of lymph required
by the test was made This, it is
stated, is the basis for the warning that
tuberculosis in large percentage exists
in most herds.
But We must doubt the soundness of
the judgment A slightly disordered con-
dition. as cold. will, it is known, under
the test, give the rise of temperature
referred to. True. post mortem examin-
alton was made in each case in Illinois,
and the veterinarians found evidences
Of the disease. But granting that, two
experiments are not sufficient. It should
be shown that the test applied generally
at many points in the State produce the
same results in order to Justify the
charge that a larger percenta &c of milk
giving COWS are afflicted with tuber-
culosis
However, the fact that the test is
recognized as conclusive of a disord-
cred condition of the animal when rise
of temperature follows the injection sof
the lymph, ought to make it an easy
matter to protect the people against
tuberculosis in milk cows is largely
prevalent is true, but it is also true that
it Is easily discovered and thus the peo-
pie may be protected wherever authori-
ties are vigilant in examining milk
herds.

Not even the cartoon will serve to
fasten the trusts upon the Republican
party as a political issue. The San
Francisco EXAMINER has started in TO
make the attempt, but it will prove
abortive. The trusts concern an eco
nomic, not political question. BY the
way, the really effective and wise anti
trust measure was the result of the
statesmanship of a Republican, John
Sherman.

A very great mistake is made by
those who estimate the Firms now pro-
posing so largely to leave their native
land, as an uneducated and ignorant
people. The truth is that the Firms are
as a rule we'll educated. Their school
system is an admirable one and there
are about 120 Finnish newspapers OF
good circulation and edited with ability.
For more than two centuries the Firms
enjoyed political liberty, and they were
not subjugated until 1908. Even then
a constitutional government was ac-
corded to them. It is the alleged tres
pass upon that constitution by the pres
ent Russian ruling power in the intro
duction Of new CONSUMPTION and mill
tary laws that has so much disturbed
the Finns who propose to abandon
fatherland rather than contend with q
power they are unable to defeat.

doubts upon their honor for weeks and

is willing to descend.
It's whole course has been vicious,
narrow and selfish, in line with its only
definite policy of rule or ruin, and in
dicative of its apprehensiens.
The Herald has had no desire to take
the part of any senatorial candidate
as against another; it is particularly
difident about espousing the cause of
any one connected with it as a. stock
holder; but advantage has been taken
of this well known fact by the owner
Of an opposition newspaper, the objec-

gratuitous activity is the organ of the
Democratic party of Utah.
If Democrats have allowed the organ

rake its chestnuts out of the fire they
are unworthy Of either the confidence

BEGINNING OF THE BATTLE.

The first ballot in the Utah senatorial
contest was taken yesterday. It was
more formal than significant. There
were no developments. No candidate
was surprised, with the possible excep-
ton of President Nebeker of the SEN
ate, who received a vote, although his
campaign had not been announced.
1t was a rather cold procedure. Nom
mating speeches were dispensed with,
and no applause followed the announce
ment of any vote.
This was not due to a lack of in
terest, but it was the natural result OF
a general understanding among the
candidates and members that the vote
would be just about as it was cast.
The first skirmish is over. The re-
connoitering parties are apparently sat
isfied with the showing made. In all
probability the lines viii be drawn a
little closer today. But the Joint ses-
sion may merely comply with the law
and adjourn. Then the real battle will
begin on Thursday
To all outward appearances it is any
'body's fight to date. No one can tell
VIII Will prove llG NluItI- II Is On
the first ballot that complimentary
votes are given. Tomorrow the align
ment may be entirely different.
In senatorial elections, as in other
trials Of faith and works, the first may
be last and the last first. Two years
ago the leader for ffty-two ballots was
beaten. This year there Will be no such
11rof IA cfegi struggle
Whoever receives the final majority
of all the votes cast, it is to the inter-
est Of all parties that the best inter
ests Of the state be conserved. AS the
choice VIII doubtless fall upon a Demo-
crat it is to be hoped that it viii be
Democrat who scorns to lend himself to
the plans and purposes Of the opposi-
ton.
Even Republicans respect an open,
frank political opponent than one who
allows them or their quasi-party organ
TO use him as a tool.

NOT FREE TRADERS.

a contemporary undertakes to ex-
pound the doctrines embraced in the
Chicago platform. 1t says:
"A fair construction Of it means the
acknowledgment by that convention
that there must be a tariff in order to
meet the increasing expenses Of the
government, and the stipulation it made
was that the tariff should be made to
bear equally upon the country, and
that all portions of the country should
be protected as nearly alike as posi-
BILE"
Why, certainly. That is exactly what
Democrats have claimed ever since the
framing Of the Chicago platform.
But the contemporary in question has
been insisting that the Democratic tar
if declaration meant no such thing. All
through the last campaign it called "the
tariff clause in the Chicago platform"
a free trade plank and told how it gag
ged as it swallowed the same.
Last fail it called the Democrats of
Utah free traders" and adopted as its
motto anything to beat the Demo-
Gratis" Yesterday it recanted, having
other fish to fry. It acknowledged that
Utah Democrats who stand upon the
Chicago platform are not free tradera''
at all. It said:
Hence it is fair for Utah Democrats
to insist that the tariff laid upon Utah
productions should not be evaded, that
the producers Of Utah should have the
honest benefits resulting from that
tariff
Pursuing its policy of anything to
beat the Democrats the organ would
turn any sort of a flip-flop the present
occasion might require.

Germany has increased her export

them not available TO the United States,
to be sure. but by methods similar to

Asiatic export business during the last

During the next ten years the in
crease will be much more rapid. Surely
this government cannot afford to quar-
rel over the retention of the Philippines
while other powers are making bids Tor
limited opportunities, compared with
these apparently presented in the
ownership of the Spanish archipelago.

AsPIREs TO BE A DICTATOR.

After having fought the Democratic
party in every campaign since the di-
vision on party lines, it requires a. good
deal Of effrontery on the part of the
organ of the opposition to undertake tc
say who shall Or who shall not be
elected to the senate of the United
States from the state of Utah
But the motives are easily OWNED;
and more SO because they are the same
that always actuate the organ of the
Boss
Greater than state or people or party
is the Boss.
More important than the welfare of
any community are his schemes.
It is dawning upon the public, slowly
but surely, that the Boss would like to
manage all the political and ecclesias-
teal organizations in the state.
The Jesuit never lived who more per
sistently played for power.
Methods denounced by the organ are
employed by 1t and for it in the further
ance Of the schemes evolved from the
fertile brain of the Boss.
What is the state, what are the par
ties and what the people, that they
should stand in the way of this politi-
cal dictator?
His interests, his likes and disIikes,
his plans are paramount.
Republicans have felt the heavy heel
Of his dispIeasure. Democrats have
played into his hands to their undoing.
Were such a schemer to form a part
nership for political purposes It would
be most natural for him to form one
with Democrat of the same mind.
This arrangement would enable the
firm 20 transact q general ofice-hlling
business. It would open Up untold pos
sibilities in the police department. It
would make it easier to control the
distribution Of federal appointments in
the state while apportoning municipal
Offices with the aid of a Democratic
city council 1t would enable one mem
Der Of the firm 10 start storms while
pointing out the other to the terrified
populace as good storm-stopper.
For craft may win where blufng
fails. and people who cannot be mis-
led by cajolery may be driven by in
timidation.
That the organ Of the Boss has a
candidate Of its own in the senatorial
race is but natural II is in lire with
its general policy of trying to run all
political parties. It is within the scope
of the premiership business.
That it has singled out candidate
upon whom to train its mud batteries is
none less surprising. Its animus waves
above its earthworks like the Spanish
fas last year futtered above the walls
of MORO castle. Selfish interest Is the
secret OF it all.
Every cartoon reveals it; every man
ufactured special from Vernal exposes
Its infamy; every petty, unprofessional /
reference to the affairs Of a business
adversary shows the desperation Of the |
Boss; every slanderous headline re-
fleeing upon the morals OF Utah leg
