FINISH THE FIGHT.

Ladies and gentlemen of h Third
state legislature of Utah. you v now
voted forty-three times for a successor
to senator Cannon.
Haven't you about discharged your
obligations to the candidates?
Isn't it almost time to place first and
foremost your obligations to the state?
All the candidates are good men. As
there is a large Democratic majority
il both houses, it is not reasonable for
any Republican, of any degree what
soever, TO seriously hope to become the
choice of this assembly. That a genu-
inc Democrat will receive the majority
of all the votes cast on the inaI ballot
goes without saying.
1t is really too bad tina all the Dem
ocratic candidates cannot be elected.
They are deserving. They are valuable
TO tbs party and useful to the state,
each in his way. But there is a chance
for only one this time.
Consider the interests of the state,
the expense of a protracted contest, the
desire of your constituents TO see you
settle it all n get down to business.
There are other important matters to
claim your consideration as lawmak-
ers, and very little can be accomplished
during the excitement of a senatorial
campaign
What is to b. gained by a p~rotracted
fight?
Republicans hope to catch you nap
ping. Some have encouraged the main
tenance Of a deadlock in the interest
of a certain Republican candidate. No
one else expects to profit hereafter by
the creation of factions in the Demo-
cratic party.
But this s~enatorship belongs to the
Democratic organization. Let it be de-
cided quickly. No one doubts that it
will be settled well n wisely.
There is no occasion for any quarrel
among Democrats. Nor is n feeling
manifest, at least among the legislat-
ors.
It is to the interest of Utah that this
contest be ended soon. 1t would be
well to finish it today, or tomorrow, at
the farthest, The straight Republicans
are believed to be agreeable to this.
Straight Democrats ought to be.
Then why not elect your senator and
get to work?

Admiral Death.

CHenry Newbolt. in McCIure's Magazine.)
Boys, are We calling a toast tonight?
(Hear what the sea-wind saith
Fill for a bumper strong and bright,
And here's TO Admiral DEATH
He's sailed in a hundred builds o boat
He's fought in a thousand kinds o. coat
He's the senior flag of all that float,
And his names Admiral Death.
Which of you looks for a service free?
Hear what the sea-wind saith
The rules o the service are but three
When We sail with Admiral Death.
Steady your hand in time O. squalls,
Stand TO the last by him that falls,
And answer clear to the voice that calls,
"Ay, ay! Admiral Death
How will We know him among the rest?
Clear what the sea-wind saith
By the CLINT o. the stars that cover his
Ye may find Admiral Death.
By the forehead grim with an ancient
scar.
BY the voice that rolls like thunder far,
BY the tenderest eyes of all that are,
Ye may know Admiral Death.
Where are the lads that sailed before?
Hear what the sea-wind saith
Their bones are white by many a shore,
They sleep with Admiral Death.
Oh, but they loved him.. young and old.
For he left the laggard. and took the bold.
And the fight was fought, and the story's
And they sleep with Admiral Death.

about bribe-taking and legislative cor
ruption. Then the organ whined. 1t
protested that what had seemed a
charge Of bribery really meant moth
ing-that it was imaginary. The Her
aid was inclined to take the organs
word and let the matter drop. But yes
terday the Tribune repeated its insult.
1t said:
That there is a corruption fund in the
field has been known from the first. 1t
has been street talk and we have high
ecclesiastical authority in confirmation
of it. We may likewise suspect that the
zeal of h Salt Lake Herald and its
present evident desire to emulate if not
excel Ananias have their inspiration
from the same source, or sack-a sy-
nonymous term.
Here is the charge again, couched in
guarded terms, like a knife in the
sleeve.
Is the Tribune, this broken down
bruiser of outlaw journalism, to take
refuge in the helplessness of growing
decreptitude while it stands at the
crossroads of publicity cursing and
slandering those who drop their pennies
into the cup that trembles in its pal
sled hand?
What is it, and who is P. H. Lannan,
hat he should be permitted time and
again to slur the Legislature and try
to create doubts of its honesty and
morality in the minds of the people? If
Mr.. Lannan knows of any corruption
fund let him speak out like a man and
tell what he knows or admit that this
corruption fund story is a part of his
general scheme to AXE revenge upon
the state.
1t will not suffice for him to hide be-
hind his hired men, who write down
epithets at his dictation and strive to
see which can repeat the words liar"
slave" sneak and villain" the
greatest number of times in each para
graph to win his appreciation.
They are often blamed for what he
makes them do. Yet it is wrong. For
two decades or more they have faith
fully reflected the feelings and respond
ed to the whims of the boss. But when
the Tribune says that a condition of
legislative corruption portrayed three
a ago has come with the assem-
bling of the present legislature, when
it claims there is a corruption fund in
the field" and repeats the story with a
knowing leer, it is to Mr.. P. H. Lannan
individually that the legislature should
apply for particulars.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The crush in the lobby at the Grand
last night indicates the SIZE of the au-
dience, and it was therefore No surprise
to see the little theatre filed UP to the
third tier of boxes.
The story OF Who is Who" does not
demand much Of the thinking powers
of the audience; in fact, whenever the
situation becomes a bit complicated.
relief comes in the shape of a song and
dance, and all trouble IS dispelled. Or
course, the trouble takes several fresh
starts. just to ppear a little plausible,
but it does not affect anyone severely
In short, who is Who" is just the
sort of thing which the patrons of the
Grand seem to demand, and the audi
ence last night was pleased beyond
measure.
There is a little plot, to give the char
acters an excuse for being there, and
plenty of dancing and singing-the au-
dience's excuse for being there, no
doubt. Charles A. Mason is the typical
German of vaudeville, and makes a hit
with his German singing school. The
popular cooR songs in the German Ian
guage bring the house down. The idea
is novel and extremely comical.
There is the usual screaming SOU
brette. and a lot OF other girls who
dress very well and shouldn't be al
lowed to sing. The Whiting sisters,
~corretists and Harry Welch, eccentric
dancer, areiwell received special artists.
The Grand has another good week be-
fore it, for there is plenty of chance to
laugh, if you are in the mood, even If
yod don't succeed in finding out who
is Who"
The news that the De We're company
will give a popular price concert in the
tabernacle on Monday next, is good
news to all who missed the one at the
Theatre. Numbers from the late pop
ular operas VIII be given, also the
tower scene from I'll T~rovatore,' with
tie tabernacle choir. This will be a
rarely good entertainment, and it's pop
ularity with those who heard, or have
heard of, this excellent quartette, is as
sured.
Vests minstrels are being advertised
in splendid style. and come to the The
atre the first two nights of next week.
6 @ @
Tuesday and Wednesday an enter
tainment will be given in the Twentieth
ward meeting house, for the benefit of
the ward choir. A new operetta will
be given, the libretto by Mrs. Mary
Kelly and the music by Joseph J..
Daynes.
There are excellent indications of a
society night for the opening of
"Pudd'nhead Wilson" at the Theatre
tonight.

prize as a contraltO s0lOist at the Els

~RElTERATES ITS CHARGE.

Like a broken-down bruiser, a bull
dozer whose words have lost their
meaning and whose threats excite but
jeers from all who hear them, the a V
ing, ranting, Tribune sits in the stocks
of public scorn to which it has been
consigned by a patient people who have
put up with its infamy and its excuses
until -forbearance has ceased to be a
virtue.
Cursing and whining, alternately be-
moaning his fate and bemeaning the
people of h state, it has reached that
condition when to spit upon it were to
do it honor.
In the impotence of senile despair
this ancient mariner of a dried-up sea,
is calling vainly Sor days that viii
re7er return, and for the waters Of sus-
picion to again engulf the land that
its rickety craft may foa once more.
To this end the Tribune is trying TO
convince the world that the people Of
Utah are pledge breakers, law-break-
ers. corruptionists9 that they are not
to bo trusted; that they select as their
Representatives and elect to public Of
fee, men whom they know to be i'm
moral, Asiatic in their habits and train
ing, lawless and un-American.
Day after day the Tribune has been
ringing the changes on his libel. Week
after week it has declared that the peo-
pie Of Utah were not only capable Of
electing a man to Office if they found
him II be a defiant ~lawbreaker. but
that the people of this state, for that
express reason, had actually done that
very thing.
Thus the Tribune, an apostle of de-
famation and prevarication, tries TO
convince a credulous world that Utah
is a land Of lawless and licentious men
and women that the state and the peo-
pie are disgraced by the deliberate act
of a decisive majority, n that no such
people a be trusted.
And now to its category of low in
situations and vicious charges, by
which it is trying to demonstrate that
the people of Utah are unworthy of ma
tional confidence and respect the Trib-
une adds an intimation of corruption in
the Legislature.
When these charges became disgust
ingiy insolent, The Herald asked that
the owner of the Tribune, Mr.. P. H.
Lannan, be summoned by the leg
islature 20 tell what he knew

lime Voting.
To the Editor of The Herald:

10 the Editor OF n Herald:
1 was much pleased in reading your
advise to the legislature, under the
head of Down to Business" 1 am of
the opinion that this complimentary
voting is a great waste of time and
money. Two weeks gone and what has
been done for the good of the state.
When we hold our election for legisla-
tors, state and county officers, one day
is sufficient, but how much does it cost
the state to elect one United States
senator? The daily expense of running
the legislature is about $500; expense
two weeks. about So, 200, and not set
tied yet. This is economy with a ven-
geancei One day is sufficient to elect
one man. I hope to see the day when
senator's will be elected by the people.
Recently the state paid a large sum of
money for revising the statutes. Look
ing at things naturally there does not
seem to be much need Of passing new
laws, but 1 suppose the sixty days will
have to be put in, and perhaps Joshua
may be called in to say. CLOCK, stand
thou still"

Stamping Oral Agreements.

Wall Street borrowers OF money are much
disturbed at the claim made on them by the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue for a
stamp tax on their call loans. secured by
pledges OF collateral security. The Com
missioner contends that such pledges,
under the War Revenue Act, require tho
envelopes containing the collaterals to be
stamped at the rate OF 25 cents for
Zach $500, which. on loans made from day
20 day, would amount to $40 a year, or
Is per cent. on the loan, in addition to the
interest. The borrowers contend that tho
Commissioner is wrong, and that pledges
made by merely depositlng collaterals are
not subject, under the act. to tax at all.
in this controversy the Commissioner
aeems to us to be in the wrong, and his
adversaries to be In the right. Stamp taxes
are. by their very nature. applicable only to
written documents. The stamps cannot be
employed unless they are affixed to the
paper on which the document Is written.
No paper: no stamp. II tho contracting
parties want written contract. they must
stamp 1t. II they are willing to dispense
with such a contract they can dispense
with the stamp. Tho lonns which the
Commissioner seeks to tax arc not evil
fenced by writing; they are purely
agreements by word OF mouth. Neither
The endorsement OF list OF the collaterals
on the envelope in which they are enclosed,
nor one OF tho rate OF interest which the
,oan 10 to bear. constitutes a contract.
These are merely memorandum aud could
not be put in evidence by the lender OF
the money II he sued the borrower.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
takes too much upon himself in the way OF
Interpreting the law so as to extend It's APP
plication beyond that which its plain Ian
guage requires.
