KING EDWARDS OATH.

Cardinal Vaughan demands, on behalf
of the Catholic subjects of the new
British ruler. that certain offensive
declarations in the royal oath be ellmi-
rated from the coronation ceremonies
Those declarations were agreed upon at
n time when there was more hostility
between Professionalism and Romanlsm
than there Is at present and now, even
Professionals regard them as unneces-
sarily harsh.
II seems that the British king, ac-
cording to an old custom, viii be re-
quired to state that he believes, that
in the sacrament Of the Lords supper
there Is not any transubstantiatlon,
and that the invocation and alteration
OF the Virgin Mary or any other Saint,
and the sacrifice Of the mass as they
are now used In the church Of Rome,
are superstitions and ldolatrous.' And
This Is not ALL He Is further required
TO say that In making this declaration,
he does so in the plain and ordinary
sense Of the words read unto me, as
they are commonly understood by Eng
lish Protestants, without any evasion
eauIvocatlon, or mental reservation
whatever" BY which II is clearly I'm
piled that a Catholic might take the
oath with mental reservation.
There are at present in the United
Kingdom. about five million and half
Catholic subjects Of the king Some OF
them hold influential positions, both in
the legislature and the judiciary. and
they certainly are entitled to some
consideration. They can at least ex-
pect that their sovereign shall not be
required at his coronation, to officially
stamp them all as ldolators and hypo-
critics. The British people generally
can hardly fail TO see the incongrulty
OF the royal oath with present condi-
lions.
But there Is another reason why the
demands Of the Catholics In this matter
should be acceded TO, II cannot be
supposed that King Edward himself be-
leves in the truth OF the recital quoted,
The time is past when enlightened men
and women regard Professionalism as
more free from superstition, idolatry,
or hypocricy than Catholicism. The
king has frequently associated with
people OF different religious tenets. and
he knows that there Is as much light,
integrity and purity In one division as
in another. How can he declare that
millions Of his subjects. In his opinion,
are supersttious idolators, without
some kind OF mental reservation, 20 the
effect that they are not more so than
millions OF others? In the light OF
modern conditions. the entire declara-
ton is farce. as, indeed, are many
other oaths and atlirmatlons. which
might be relegated 10 the past. where
they belong. II Is proper enough as
long as the Church OF England is
Protestant, that the ruler Of the realm
should be identified with that church,
but he can certainly maintain that

HAS BoTHA SURRENDERED?

There Is Joy in London. Il is said,
on account Of the favorable turn OF
affairs In South Africa. and If the latest
dispatches from that region are 70 be
relied upon. there Is foundation for that
feeling. The British are reported to
have captured several hundred Beers,
besides large quantities Of stores, am
munitlon, and guns. General Botha
himself Is said 10 have surrendered,
II so, Dewet Is about the only promn-
ent leader In the field, and his sur
render cannot be long delayed. Some
days ago Il was reported that about
10000 Beers still were In the field. but
they were scattered In widely separat-
ed bodies. each one being harrassed by
a superior strength Of British The at
tempted invasion Of Cape Colony hav-
Ing failed, it is difficult to see what
plan is left for the fighting patriots,
but unconditional surrender
The Poer war has had three different
stages. each one furnishing its own
surprises. In the first the British forces
under the direction Of Butler were stub
bornlv resisted and suffered heavy
losses. In the second the burghers
were routed by the advancing hosts Of
Roberts, and driven back like sheep
Strongholds were given up without
battle, and general panic seemed to
prevail. In the third. the Beers again
rallied and even sent their columns into
British territory, as far south, almost
as Cape Town But although In this
stage OF the war, there were many brill
liant maneuyers, the Beers fought no
important battles. The surrender Of
Botha, II true. must mark one OF the
last stages Of the unequal conflict,
Naturally, the news Is hailed with
satisfaction in London. If 1t Is con-
firmed, It means that there will be no
further requests for troops and money
for the warfare. The work Of recon-
structlon can then be continued without
fear Of interruption, 1t cannot but be
hoped that the war is at an end, prao-
tically. and that the world will never
again have to witness similar strug-
gle between Christian" nations That

The elimination OF the declaration
objected to from the royal oath, would
no doubt be regarded as signal VIC
tory for Romanism, and it may be re-
sisted on that ground: but It may also
be looked upon rs victory for re-
lglOus tolerance, and that IS an issue
around which all who love human lib
erty can rally. In every civilized
country each citizen should have the
right believe as he chooses, and that

fleet upon his sincerity or morality on

THE VOTING MACHINE.

The Hewlett bill, introduced In the
House to pave the way for the use OF
voting machines In Utah elections, Is
a step in the right direction. The Des-
eret News has explained their use and
their benefits. We believe they would
do away with many difficulties at
tending the proper recording and re-
turn OF election results. and eventually
save much expense. OF course the cost
IN the beginning would be a feature to
be considered BY the county commits
sloners, when the matter Of adopting
the machine Is discussed.
The bill does not require the machine
to be used. II simply provides for 1t
when a county board considers 1t nee
essary. The Constitution Of the state
permits the voting machine to be
adopted. but the bill Is necessary to
formulate provisions for its purchase
and use, under circumstances therein
specified. II ought to pass.
There Is one phrase In the bill, how
ever. that we think should be elimInat-
ed. We believe the author Of the mea-
sure win see the point when II is lndi-
Gated, II Is in section two: ANY such
machine go purchased shall be the lat
est and most approved pattern" etc.
The words "the latest" may be found
an obstruction 10 the purchase OF a
better machine than the latest intro
duced "of the most approved pattern"
Is sufficient, without the addition Of
"the latest" We want the best when
we want the machine at.all, whether II
Is the latest or not,
Alleged improvements which do not
improve, not infreQuently obtain a new
patent. and the change, even II not

possibly detrlment. If we get the

compelled to take the latest when II is

practicable give us the machine.

give the appearance Of suspicion that

bid for something In return and would
thus reflect on the other officials.
