SULZER AFTER THE TORIES.

Congressman Sulzer poured not shot
into the Tory ranks the other day. The
Republican majority in the house has
| figuratively torn down the emblem of
| liberty. extinguished the beacon light
Of freedom and raised the British flag
over our nations capital Every pub
lie policy, foreign or domestic, colonial.
financial and commercial is modelled
after English plans and English sug-
gestions.
1t is higf. time that Americanism
should begin to reassert itself in the
| halls of congress. There was a time
when American statesmen and law
makers did not build their speeches and
direct their votes with a view to pleas
ing London bankers and winning the
appreciation of English diplomats.
AS Representative Sulzer said: There
is a feeling all over the country that
the administration has absolutely and
abjectly surrendered American rights
to British interests. 1t has done so in
Alaska, it has done so in regard to the
Nicaraguan canal; it is doing so now
in the Orient, in the Philippines, in
China
1t has been done in South Africa.
Every tradition of this republic has
been ignored. Every American senti-
ment has been stifed by our Anglicized
administration. In the course of his
speech the gentleman from New York
explained how this was done. IF it had
not been for what the administration
did the other day after consultation
will. Lord Pauncefote, after being told
what to do by Salisbury" he said.
there would have been a concert Of
European powers which would have de-
manded the cessation of war in South
Africa"
And no wonder the speaker was
greeted with tl1unders of applause when
| he concluded by saying: 1.-THE admins
tration here is more English than the
administration in London, and it is
time for some one to stand up here and
talk for American rights against Brit
ish interests"
The American people are not fools:
They know that Tory crowd has cap
tured the government and that another
revolution may be necessary to achieve
another independence.
The rule of the London banker will be
harder to shake off than was the rule
of English royalty.
The aristocracy of organized avarice
is more tyrannous than was the aris-
tocracy of blood and birth.
One-third of the American colonists
were English sympathizers in the days
of George Washington, it is said. We
do not believe there is such proper
ton of Tories today, but they have the
advantage of wealth and power.
Tna numerical strength Of the Tories
will be comparatively insignificant. but
they are strongly entrenched at the ma
tional capital.
Nothing can be done for six years"

reason why they should be reinforced

that the cry upon which our original in

the ghost. This unreienting search for
the essential meaning of a thing is the
oasis or the Socratic method of con-
elhuous questions. He found all pre-
Vlous attempts at philosophy vague
ana unsatisfactory. Socrates held that
the soul is vital; that il has a mortal
as well as an immortal element. and
mat truth and immortality are real
he accepts the existence Of a supreme
being wlthout'inquiry The intellectual
part OF the soul is a part Of the su-
prefne mind. Socrates held that knOwl-
edge was virtue, and that no man
would willingly remain ignorant if he
knew that ignorance was wrong or that
Ignorance kept him from knowing
what was right. To perfect the intel
lect. TO know. was the aim Of life.
Aristotle, later, refuted this doctrine,
which Socrates had never clearly ex-
planned. To Socrates ethics and the
study OF humanity were much above
the study of the physical sciences
The teaching of Socrates influenced
not only the systematic scholastics of
the Roman empire, but the great sys-
tens of st. Thomas Aquinas and DTns
Scotus- Aristotle's philosophy was
practically adopted By St. Thomas
Aqmnas, and the tendency of the best
thinkers of the middle ages to put
moral and ethical questions first was
influenced from Socrates. The Cyrenaic
school Of Aristippus, which held that
present pleasure was the end Of life,
was the offspring OF those Socratic
theories which were dangerous because
Socrates had not sufficiently explained
or developed them. The school of the
cynics was founded by another pupil
Of Socrates, whose name was Ants
themes. His school combated the teneta
OF Aristippus; his teaching was eth
ieal and generally composed of objec-
tons. He asserted firmly. against the
opinions Of his time, that there was
one God without an earthly body.
The study of the life and lessons Of
Socrates, especially as presented by
Plato-and here let me recommend all

JUDGE KINGS VOTE.

Draper, Utah, March 20.
Editor Salt Lake Herald:
Arthur Brown, in his speech here last
Saturday night made the statement that
after w II. King had made his trip OF
inves tigatiOn to Cuba and when the ques-
ton of voting funds 20 carry on the war
came up IN congress. that King voted
against the appropriation. VIII you kind
" let US know through The Herald what
the vote was on question. Yours.
SUBSCRIBER.
Denials Of all the lies uttered by Re-
publican orators and organs in this
campaign would fill more space than
The Herald columns contain. Judge
King never voted against any appro-
priation of funds needed to carry on
the war against Spain. The first war
was made on March s,
1898, by the passage of an emergency
measure which placed $4,000, 900 in the
hands of the president for war pur-
poses. The Republican party managers
pursued an unprecedented course in
placing the expenditure of so large a
sum at the discretion of the president,
and the manner in which the fund was
expended gave rise to scanGal; but
when the bill was placed upon its pas
sage in the house. every Democratic
member periodically recorded himself
in it's favor and the vote was unani-
NOUS.
The Republican majority subsequent
ly framed a war revenue bin. ostensibly
for the purpose of providing funds 10
carry on the war, but more particular
ly to promote a bond-jobbing deal be-
tween Secretary Gage and the bankers.

ONLY A MAKE-6ELIEVE.

DO the people of Utah actually be-
heve that the two Republican polygam-
lists who went from Utah to Washing
ton Tor the purpose of conciliating the
nation, actually made ARRANGEMENTS
with the administration to prevent fur
uher action on the polygamy question?
ana II the national Republican leaders
really consented to hold the matter in
allowance until after this congressional
election, is there any one so dense that
ne believes it viii have the slightest
effect on any contemplated legislation
whether a Mormon Democrat or Nor
mon Republican is elected by the peo-
pie of Utah?
If, as some Republicans claim, it will
make a difference. is it not an admis-
sion that this whole agitation was Of
partisan origin and that the people
were libeled and assailed for more than
year for the sake of a little party
advantage IL Utah?
Are these the methods that win in
Utah? Are the people going to sue
cumb to the intimidation of a notorious
political boss and bulldozer? Was ever
anything gained by contributing to the
levy Of the blaclmailer?
The onty way 10 set along with d
bully is to thresh him.
The only way to get rid of black
mailer is to turn him down.
Flee from the one and he'll always
pursue you.
Yield to the other and he'll make you
do it again and again.
The way to get peace is to discourage
the disturber Of peace.

and in voting against this bill Judge
King earned the gratitude of every
honest citizen. This measure carried
scheme of taxation that laid the bur-
den of war expenditures upon the
masses and relieved organized wealth
from the payment of its just share. It
authorized the secretary of the treas
ury to issue s4OO,0O0,OOO of bonds, al
though it was clearly shown that the
taxes levied would provide abundant
revenue to carry on the wa Then, as
now, the administration = ntrolled
by the corporations and S, and
these interests dictated t. lquitous
revenue bill. The Repub II leaders
sought to turn the patr.o n of the
country to selfish account. but the bill
they presented was so altogether in
equitable and unjust, it was such
palpable piece of bond jobbery, that
no Democrat could support it without
stultifying himself and betraying his
constituents. There were also five Re-
publican members who refused TO be
whipped into supporting such a bill.
And it may not be amiss TO remind the
voters that this infamous tax law is
still in force. and is taking from the
pockets Of the people so much more
revenue than an extrava CANT admin
istration can spend that Secretary Gage
is turning government funds over TO
the Standard Oil bank at the rate of
sSOO,00o,OOO per year.
Judge Kings vote was recorded in
favor of every measure dictated by
patriotism or the needs of the govern
ment in carrying on war against a
foreign foe. He was one of the Demo-
cratic leaders who held aloft the banner
Of freedom and upheld the majesty of
the American government when a cow
ardly and trucking administration
would have surrendered to the de-
mands Of Spanish arrogance. And his
vote was recorded against every meas
ure inimical to the rights and liberties
and interests Of the people. And so it
will be recorded in the future. and no
amount of Republican lying can cast
one blot upon his record.

M-SoCRATES.
BY MAURICE FRANCIS BGAN,
LII. D.


If You read the Clouds of Artistic
planes you will find a caricature-a
very amusing one-of the philosopher
Socrates. This comedy was played 42S
years before the coming of Christ. and
many TRANSACTIONS have been made Of
1t. In it is presented the popular i'm
preston of what Socrates was. ArisL
oopaanes attacks the sophists in the
Clouds, and makes Socrates their
representative. The truth is that Soc
rates was really the enemy of the
sopniSts, who made it their business
10 teach young men how to get on in
nIe; their motto was that ''the end
JuSllhes the means" They taught
rhetoric as we'll as tie methods of bust
ness; they were expert in sharp prac-
Ilces, and aimed only for material sue
cess. They called themselves philoso-
pners IN the sense that they perfected
the science of how to gain the advan-
tages Of material life, while leaving
nlsh morality out of the process. And
they were philosophers who developed
Inc art OF trying TO make black appear
white II 1T suited their purpose. Soc
rates was opposed to all this; he was
a philosopher, for he loved wisdom and
ne sought to find laws that govern hu-
man minds by the examination OF his
own; but he was more a social re
former than a philosopher. In B. c.
tzS 1t was generally acknowledged that
Athenian society needed reformation,

tt Is inconceivable what Mr.. Ham

to gain by reiterating. before audiences
Of intelligent voters, the bold false
hood that the financial bill recently
passed by the Republican congress
does not establish the gold standard
The Herald some days ago felt it a

diculous misstaternent, but he goes
right along repeating the same story
in every speech. What sort of an esti-
mate does he place upon the voters?
Does he think they cannot read? 1t is
a bad thing FOR candidate to assume
that all voters are ignorant-a bad
thing for the candidate.
The provisions of the financial bill,

lisiled in all the newspapers in the
country. OF course Mr.. Hammond has
read them. Here is section 1 of the
