OBJECT TO TERRITORIES.

The committee on Territories is said
to have agreed on favorable report
on bill admitting Oklahoma and In
dian Territory as one state. New Mex
leo and Arizona, It is said, are not
mentioned, and the inference is that the
committee will not consider their claims
fayoraby at present.
The ostensibe objection to the admit
lance Of the two latter is. that II Is alb
surd to grant a thinly populated west
ern state the same representation in the
Senate as that enjoyed by the old. pop
ulous states of the east. Nevada. 1t Is
argued, is equal IN strength, In the
Senate, to New York, Pennsylvania
Illinois, or Ohio, and no more states
OF the Nevada type can be admitted, in
justice to the rest Of the country. This
is, In substance the argument against
Arizona and New Mexico. Whether thar
is the true cause for objection is an
other question.
But is not that argument an evidence
Of the fact that We are drifting away
from the high ideals of government
that were before the minds of the franz
ers Of the American Constitution? We
are coming to regard one section OF
country as the rival Of another, and
find it necessary to keep down the
strength Of representation Senators,
then, become rivals, Only on the sup
position that these ideas obtain can the
reasoning referred TO be understood at
all. II the country Is one, with COM
mon interests; II what benefits one Sec
ton, benefits another, rs is the case
with the members Of one body; IL repre-
sentatives are broadmindcd enough to
look beyond sectional and local inter-
ests and labor for the general good.
there can be no fear Of getting too
many such representatives In the null
titude Of counsel there is safety, 1t has
been said but now we are told that il,
the multitude Of counsel there is in
justice. There is something wrong

fore his readers, but has evidently de-
pended upon incorrect information,
'The Teachers Quorum" Of which he
speaks, has nothing whatever TO do
with disputes between Church men,
bers, or with their fellowship. 1t Is on
organization for the instruction OF
Teachers in the duties OF their Office
and calling. Trials for the settlement
OF difficulties between Church members
that cannot be disposed Of by the ad-
vice and good offices OF visiting teach
ers, are held before the Bishop OF the
ward and his two counselors. Appeals
from the Bishops court are not taken
to the Quorum OF the Twelve Apostles,
which is O travelling body and not
local organization, but TO the High
Council of the stake Of Zion In which
that Bishops ward Is located The
High Council is composed OF twelve
High Priests. chosen and sustained by
the people OF the Stake In conference
assembled. 1t IS presided over by the
Presidency Of that Stake. IL there
should then be dissatisfaction with ths
decision Of that body, the First Pres.
dency Of the Church may be appealed
to for n review Of the case. That Is tho
regular mode Of procedure in the
Church.
The other mistake Is in reference to
the Salt Lake and Los Angeles Railway
Mr.. Miller states that It's name has ig-
,ured unpleasantly In politics OF this
state in days not remote The truth Is
that this railway has not figured IN
politics at all. II has taken no part IN
any political movement or contest or
dispute In the remotest degree. We
would be at loss to understand why
Mr.. Miller has thus connected that rail-
way with politics, but for the fact that
some time ago a morning paper in this
city, which was at the time malovolent-
ly anti Mormon" and ready to cIrcu-
late any report, however false and alb
surd concerning the Mormon Church
o. its leaders, started a story which In
cdentally associated the President of
that railroad with political movement
The stupid canard was exposed at the
time In the columns OF the Deseret
News. but the author Of II has repeated
1t whenever opportunity offered and
has told the tale so often that he may
possibly believe II. That Mr.. Miller
should allude TO 1t at all Is matter OF
surprise, for the Los Angeles Railroad
is not and has not been connected In
any manner whatever with politics, and
the lbelous romance We have here men,
toned is not looked upon seriously by
any well informed person or paper and
the author OF II is without influence in
the community.
With these exceptions the article Is
fair and the subjects 1t touches upon
are presented In an attractive manner
We congratulate Mr., Miller on his APP
pearance as magazine writer In so fine
a publication as The Worlds Work"

GRATIFYING RESULTS.

The results OF the school election are
In every way satisfactory. The rumor-
ed opposition In the Fourth and Flflh
precincts turned out TO be nothing but
conjecture, while the fight In the First
resulted in victory for the regular, non
partisan non-sectarian candidate Prof.
Byron r.. Cummings This triumph
over the clique which has assumed Tor
years to dominate election affairs IN
tho First Municipal ward, should serve
as strong rebuke TO that combination
There was no need for n contest there
any more than In others of the MH-
nlcipal Wards OF the city. II the schem-
ers who found themselves In the NIL
norlty at the regularly called conven-
ton had been fair and square there
would have been no contention, but
Prof. Cummings would have then been
nominated by large majority Of the
citizens of all parties and persuasions'
The conflict was precipitated by unfair
methods, and the boilers, after trying
every trick and scheme they could brins
10 bear have sIgnally failed.
In view OF the means adopted by the
ro-called independents II Is laugh
able to hear their cries OF Church In
fluence and their excuses for the de-
feat which has overwhelmed them.
Wherever they could get Mormon
Elder, Teacher, or lady prominent IN
Church affairs to work for their candi-
detc they welcomed the Church In
nuence" In their behalf, but In spite
OF their hiring such persons as they
could engage in that work, the plentiful
use Of money, the preponderance OF We
hicles to convey voters, bulldozing'
blufiing, Boosting and numerous po-
itlcal devices, their scheme has met
with complete disaster and they have
Rad their labor for their pains. This
should serve as a warning to them for
the future. The people are not to be
dominated by few political trlcksters,
and the old bugaboo OF Mormon
Church influence may as well be aban-
doned.
We believe that the gentlemen who
rave been elected will serve the people
yaithfully, with a view to the advance
nent OF education in our city schools,
md that the notion of favorltsm TO any
party, or class, or section OF the COM
munity will be found to be baseless and
i,lusory. 1t Is pleasing to note that the
extent OF the hostility evoked against
President W. ], Newman by morn
ing paper, amounted in the aggregate
TO eight opposition votes. That kind OF
entagonism is out Of date IN this com
munty and its failure should be a
source of qualification to all rational
ana peace loving people in this munich
pality Now let the Board OF Educa-
tion proceed amicably and unitedly for
the benefit of our city schools.

AN INTERESTING ARTICLE.

"The Worlds Work for December
contains an Illustrated article, en-
titled THE Mormons, Successful Co
operative society" When We state
that II is from the facile pen OF Ex-
United States Marshal Glen Miller,
there Is no need for us to add that It
Is well-wrltten and interesting. 1t oc-
cupies thirteen and half pages Of that
magazine, which Is published in New
York and Is a first class publication,
with beautiful engrayings and touch
es on all current events and subjects Of
popular moment We do not intend to
quote much from this article, as We
would advise our readers to procure the
magazine and read It in fun. The IL
Illustrations are very fine, and the full
page portrait Of Pres. Jos. +, Smith Is
worth the price Of the publication
The writer aims to present before the
public the good results OF cooperative
efforts in various directions, by the
people who originally settled these
mountain valleys. In thus giving cred
it to the "Mormons' for their grand
work Of redeeming the desert from
sterillty, Mr.. Miller may be accused by
some Of his nom Mormon friends Of
a leaning towards the Saints, which In
some peoples eyes is almost crime.
But candor will compel reasonable peo-
pie 10 admit that his portraitures are
not highly colored, and that only a
part Of the wonderful story has been
told.
There are one or two prominent en-
iors In the article which we feel II
our duty 10 point out one Is the at
tempted explanation Of the manner In
which difficulties are settled among the
"Mormons" In the Church tribunals
After speaking OF the efforts made by
visiting Teachers to reconcile disputing

COLOMBIA AND THE CANAL


President Roosevelt's reference, In his
message to the lsthmian canal Is brief,
but to the point He states, after having
said that a good title can be acquired
from the Panama company, that nego-

secure her assent TO building the canal.
This assent. however, includes, We be.
