THE TRUSTS AND REPUBLICANS

r HOSE IOWA REPUBLICANS who
composed the state convention
know a joke when they see it, though
they don't let on when it is in a Re-
publican platform. For instance, they
approve the position of President
Roosevelt ''in appealing to the courts
to secure regulations that will control
great combinations of capital that
prevent competition and control the
industries of the people without legal
sanction or public approval"
The president has appealed to the
courts through Knox, an attorney gen.
eral whose appointment might have
been made on the recommendation of
the trusts themselves. DO the Iowa
Republicans expect the people to take
Knox's efforts seriously. and do they
suppose the president expects any
harm to come to the trusts through
these efforts?
Roosevelt and Knox are both IA
miliar with the law under which their
campaign suits have been brought;
and they know the trusts have won in
practically every instance where a
test has been made. A Republican
executive and Republican congress had
it in their power to effect legislation
that would have restrained the trusts
within legitimate bounds long ago.
They did not even pretend to legSSJate
on the subject. Recognizing the neces-
sity of some pretended activity in be-
half of the people they caused suits
to be brought, and now point to those
suits as a reply to the charge of bad
faith.
The whole proceeding is a farce on
its face and nobody knows it better
than the Republican politicians who
are trying to conceal the facts behind
vague platform declarations The
trusts are and have been the mainstay
of the Republican party for campaign
funds. They have bought and paid cash
for immunity from legal restraint of
any kind and they have no fears of
molestation in their illegal business so
long as the Republican party is in
power,

T HE WOUNDING of Policeman Ezra
Farr of ogden demonstrates once
again the constant peril Of a public
officers life If he be, as fortunately
the great majority are, devoted to his
duty, and willing to perform it at any
risk
Had Officer Farr and the men with
him been less generous and brave than
they showed themselves to be. they
probably would have fired to kill in
stead of to scare, and the result would
have been the capture of the desperate
hoboes either dead or alive. officers
are from the very nature of their en-
ployment at a disadvantage in dealing
with the criminal classes. An officer
may not shoot down man
in cold blood, but a really bad
man will do this very thing
at any time to avoid the posi-
bility of even a short jail sentence.
Farr and his companions called on the
hoboes to stop, and then they fired.

with a volley in which Farr was hit.
fortunately not fatally, though the in
u
4 similar instance occurred in the
pursuit of Tracy in the outskirts of
Seattle. An officer, who had Tracy
covered, as he believed, called on him
TO drop his gun. The response was a
shot that killed the too generous po-
iceman. Instances of this kind are
plentiful in which officers are killed
while trying TO make arrests Ere
quently the public verdict is that the
crook was too quick with his gun, and
usually the conclusion is wrong. The
officer is required to make the arrest
If possible, without using a weapon.
If the criminal choose, he can make
any sort of fight he desires and at
any time he selects-aIways when he
has the advantage-and the result is

former general superintendent of
the Rio Grande Western railway. for
Peru. viii be a distinct loss to Salt
Lake. He bears with him the good
wishes of a host who like him, and the
respect of everybody who has had Oc-
casiOn to know his work. His jurisdic-
tion as general superintendent covered
one of the most difficult pieces of rail-
road in the country, and by his man
agement of its operating department he
established d national reputation for
executive capacity and ability to meet
the emergencies common to mountain
railroads.
In his business and social relations
Mr.. Welby has made friends of ali who
met him. and the newspaper men of
the city have special reason to remem-
Der him pleasantly. Although the posi-
ton he occupied made it necessary for
him to refuse information at times.
and although some departments of the
Rio Grande have been of necessity sub
ject to criticism occasionally, the men,
bers of the press invariably found Mr.
Welby courteous, always fair and
frank to the last degree.
The Herald expresses the sentiment
of the community when it wishes Mr.
Welby good fortune in his new field.
He is to be associated with a Utah
man. A. w. McCune, and the people of
the state win follow both of them in
their South American enterprise with
friendly interest.

William S. Devery, ex-chief of police
of New York, is a candidate for the
Democratic leadership of the Ninth
assembly district. Yesterday The Her.
aid told the story of the picnic he
gave the women and children of the
district. There were 5000 to 10000 in
attendance and two large steamers and
four barges were required TO handle
the crowd, while the chief commissary
had $50 assistants to distribute the
tons of provisions provided for the
outing. There were ten physicians in
attendance, a corps of trained nurses,
life savers, an opera company, a
vaudeville troupe and four bands. The
arrangements were on a truly western
scale of magnifieenee, and would be
surprising in the average easterner.
Mr.. Devery. however, is not altogether
an eastern man. He has western friends
and western cousin, Alex Tarbet of
this city, and acquaintance with them
has undoubtedly broadened his hor-
lion and made him capable of big,
generous acts.

National Habits About Tea and Coffee
Uondon Globe.

(London Globe.)
If they are looked at in a proper
light, statistics are by no means dun
reading. and may supply some most in-
teresting facts and subjects for specu-
lation- The returns of the imports into
the kingdom of tea and coffee open up
some very curious questions The
average Englishman drinks in the
course Of the year six times as much
tea as the average American or Dutch
man, and very nearly 100 times as
much as the average Frenchman On
the other hand, the Englishmau does
not drink coffee. and only gets through
in a year about a twentieth part of
that which the average Dutchman con-
sumes. This liking for tea as COM
pared with coffee in contradistinction
TO the taste of all the rest of the world,
cannoe be put down to our much abused
climate, for the same law holds good
in the colonies. Wherever the English
man goes he drinks tea if he can get
it, and he usually sees that his supply
does not run short. 1t is not a matter
OF taste but of temperament The
Englishman is always more or less at
work and in hurry. and has no time
to waste making coffee as it should be
made, If ii is TO be drunk without
nausea. A handful of tea. thrown into
a pannikin of boiling water, will brew
a very excellent drink. but a handful
of coffee treated in the same way would
prove detestable. To make tea is EASY:
to make coffee takes trouble and the
Briton adopts that drink which is
easiest to make

From the New York Telegram

any inspiration from the rector of our
church again." the pious man remarked,
as he ordered lemon and settler In a cafe
near Herald Square. just to show that he
was not slave to the drink demon. do
you see that half dollar? Yes, It's lead.
and a rank counterfeit. If 1t were not

well, l am suspicious. to say the least.
What am talking about? Well, I put
that veritable half-dollar in the collection
plate last Sunday morning. No, there can
not be any doubt about IT, Just look at
that mark somt doubling Thomas has
put on 1t. That mark was there when 1t
came into my possession. Wait a moment
now and will tell you what all that has
got to do with the clergyman. Sunday 1
put the coin in the plate. The next day I
strolled into a place-somewhat against
my will, l must contestant bought a.
glass of ginger ale. / gave a dollar bill
to the man and received the change This
half-dollar was in that change, and as
the church treasurer happens to be away
and the clergyman is handling the funds,
1t struck me as a strange coincidence.
Perhaps 1t was sinful in me to put
such coin in the plate, but I believe the
Bible says somewhere that one sin dis
covers another, and the men who wrote
the Bible knew what they were talking
about"
