UTAH'S STAMP TAX.

One of the joyful whoops of the ad-
miniStratiOn patriot comes forth when
the nations revenue is mentioned.
isn't it great?" ne MARBLES. Look
at the prosperity of it, Just glance
at the surplus loaned TO the Standard
Oil banks without interest by the
United States treasury
In which last particular he is histor-
ically accurate. The practical working
of this particular system of prosper
ity' in Utah is shown by the internal
revenue collectors statement. Utah paid
$6S,5991S in documentary war stamp
taxes during the year ending June 80.
1t paid $2,9S4.75 in proprietary war
stamp tax. That is over $4,000 in
an unnecessary special tax, in addition
TO $4,000 of regular revenue tax, all
borne by Utah, when the United States
treasury reports a large surplus.
Every influential Republican paper
in the east urged the repeal of the
stamp tax on Congress, but the admin
istration wouldn't allow it. The contin-
uation of stamp tax prosperity bids
fair to be a potent factor in McKin-
ley's undoing. Utah, with the figures
before it, will take pleasure in con
tributing its share to that desirable re-
suit

CAMPAIGN ISSUES ON ICE.

The connection of New York City's
leading Democrats with the great ice con-
spiracy or trust is a source of much
mortified ton and humiliation TO Demo-
Gratis generally throughout the country
Provo Enquirer.
1t is just awful The fact that thir-
teen of the fifteen directors of the So
called ice trust are prominent Repub-
leans excites no comment. EXGover-
nor Black, Senator Chandler and other
Republican leaders of national emf
hence are numbered among the stock
holders. The president of the trust is
a Republican of long standing and a
personal friend of Governor Roosevelt.
But all this goes without saying. This
occasions no surprise to our Republi-
can contemporaries.

| is made that two gold Democrats, or
/ assistant Republicans, as Chairman

with those thirteen Republicans on the
trust board that the nation is alarmed

COMMERCIAL CHRISTIANITY.

When the relations of employer and
employed are so often strained and hos
tile. it is a pleasure to chronicle the
achievements of a concern that has
demonstrated the value in dollars and
cents OF a humane and liberal policy
in the management of its affairs. The
National Cash Register company OF
Dayton, o., is such a conspicuous ex-
ample OF commercial Christianity that
The Herald believes the company is
entitled to ali the free advertising the
newspapers of the country can give it,
if only for the possible influence its ex-
ample may have in the industrial
world.
Attention is directed to the Dayton
factory by the annual convention being
held there this week, at which all the
sales agents of the company will be
present for the discussion of business.
These men are brought from all over
the world at the company's expense,
and the occasion is made a notable af-

Aside from the business discussion,
there are all the features OF a great
social organization bent on having a
good time for a week. on two even
ings of the week it is expected over
5000 people will be entertained by the
company at a picnic supper. There are
to be band concerts. trolley rides, fire.
works and other diversions at which
the 1900 employees of the factory will be
guests, as well as large number of
invited people from abroad.
This is only one phase of the situa-
ton. Note the following innovations in
factory management, and 1t will be
easy to understand why the community
which depends on the cash register is
regarded as a model:
The factory is managed by committees
instead OF by a superintendent, tending

INDEPENDENCE DAY

This is independence day-the ami
versary of the occasion when a few
colonists got together on the Atlantic
coast of America and issued the inn
mortal Declaration.
This has always been a great day in
this country, and it is yet with all
VINO believe in the Declaration of In
dependence, who glory in the tradi-
lions of the republic and revere the
names. the memories and the teachings
of it's founders.
The great majority of the American
people are still old-fashiOned enough
to cling to that immortal instrument
and lean toward a government by and
Under the constitution. Devotion to
the principles and institutions of free
government is in evidence on every
hand. 1t is being demonstrated today
n the explosion of fireworks which be
San yesterday, in picnics, barbecues,
nag-ra.sings, songs and speeches, in
grand parades and meetings, and in a
national convention where love of
country and patriotic sentiments
abound.
There are Tories yet, as there were
on the 4th of July. 1776. but the Ameri-
can spirit is all pervading and Ameri-
canism has assembled this day in a
western city to name western man.
but above all an American, as its
choice for the highest Office in the gift
of the people OF this republic.
There is patriotism enough in the
United States to save the government
from falling into the errors its foun-
ders repudiated; enough to declare our
independence from the money kings OF
London, even as our forefathers de-
clared their ability to get along with
out the kings of royal blood; enough
to abolish a colonial system patterned
after the system against which the
Declaration of independence was a
solemn protest; enough to undo any
wrong and establish any tight, regard
less of what designing powers may
urge or selfish syndicates desire.
The people are all right. They have
been fooled but not converted by the
Tories of today. Politicians may make
mistakes: officials may go wrong; cleo
tons may be corrupted; congresses
may prove false to their trusts; cab
inets may be in league with foreign
intriguers; presidents may be puppets
in the hands Of bosses; plUtocrats and
anarchists may join hand in hand tC
overthrow popular government; but
through it all shines the CLEAN of the
red light and over it all sounds the
scream Of the eagle. People go righ
ahead on Independence day, showing
their enthusiasm and patriotism il
unlimited quantities.
Never fear the people. They viii
take care. of themselves and will RICH
the ship Of state when it approaches toe
near the reefs of kingcraft.

CLARK DEFEATS DAILY.

Senator Clark'S triumph before the
Democratic national committee at Kan
sas City viii meet the approval of ev-
cry Democrat who knows the facts,
with tie possible exception of the
Daily men in Montana who care moth
ing for the rights of any man they
oppose.
The seating of the Clark delegation
in the national convention and the re-
lection of the opposition delegates is
a serious blow to the Marcus Dalyism
that has disgraced Montana for years.
Posing as Democrats, the DAILY gang
has intimidated. bribed or cajoled the
leaders of all parties in Montana so
successfully that decent men in what
ever party began to despair of ever see
ing political campaign based on prin-
ciple. The subservient, the corrupt
and the camp-fOllOwers of every class
were only too ready to follow such
leading. And the good men who be-
longed to none of these classes feared
to oppose Daily because they knew how
readily they could be ruined by the
unscrupulous clique in control of af-
fairs.
Until Senator w. A. Clark came on
the field no man in Montana dared
SIGHT Daily on his own ground With
the advantage of wealth equal to
Days; with a character that could
not be successfully attacked; with a
strong personal following of men who
admired him. and of others who were
tired of Days methods, Senator Clark
has finally driven his opponent to
cover
With the aid of a prejudieed and in
terested Republican committee. Clark
was defraUded of his seat in the SEN
ate. but before the men of his own
party who sought only the truth and
the welfare of the Democracy. he has
won a victory that must be very graf
flying TO him as it is to his friends.

YESTERDAYS STORM.

That was a grand storm yesterday,
not alone because of the vivid light
ming and the heavy peals of thunder
reverberating among the crags and
canyons, but on account Of the good 1t
accomplished. The fields were parched,
the streams were running low, the
crops were whitening and the orchards
crying TO heaven for relief.
The hot spell of last week was the
almost certain forerunner of a storm
The cold wave which preceded the
shower was merely an indication that
the rain was already falling elsewhere
among the mountains.
The dOwnpour was pretty heavy
while it lasted. 1t might have lasted
longer without doing any particular
harm. But its benefits are incalcula-
BILE, nevertheless.

TIE DELEGATE

He climbs aboard the Pullman when he
hears the whistle foot,
And he says: L have enthusiasm from
my hatband to my boot"
And you find his pride is highest when
you call him delegate,
And remember he is riding at the Pullman
parlor rate
He is as happy as a youngster on the an
nual circus day.
And he mounts up on the cushion when
the band begins to play;
And he gives a luSty hurrah for each
name upon the slate,
Does the man who only wishes to be
called a delegate.
There's badges and there's buttons on the
lapel of his coat,
And he seems to have a trumpet in the
bottom of his throat;
I'm off to the convention just to partic-
ipate,"
Says the man who only wishes to be
called a delegate.
He is riding cross the country with a
campaign pair of lungs,
En- route and onward TO the babble of the
tongues;
And you could not please him better than
to call him delegate,
Unless il slipped your memory and you
called him candidate.

TRIPLES!

Our cars are no better-in themselves
than the cars of other lines. It is
what is INSIDE them that makes them
more comfortable.
For instance: The seats in our re
Ginning chair cars are provided with
linen head pieces-clean and cool. Our
dining cars have electric fans. and are
gorgeously decorated with flowers. In
every car is a thermometer, which the
porter constantly consults in order to
keep the temperature of his car as
nearly uniform as possible.
By themselves, these things are tri-
fies, but the sum total OF them goes a
long way toward making a trip over
