THOUGH THE REPUBLICANS are
trying most sedulously to befog the
minds OF the voters as 20 the real is
sues Of this campaign, they cannot
blind the great majority OF their own
party or Of the people az large 70 the
fact that the trust question is the para
mount issue AS the campaign pro-
crosses this proposition Is becoming
more and more demonstrable. Another
easily demonstrable proposition Is that
the sentiment in favor OF removing the
tariff from trust-made articles is
growing rapidly IN the Republican
party.
staunch Republican journals all
over the country are recognizing this
fact and many OF them are having
the courage 10 give publicity 70 Il. One
OF the latest converts Is Harper's
Weekly. the ownership Of which Is
credited 20 J. Pierpont Morgan. Says
the Weekly in its last issue. editorially:
The demand for the abolition Of
tarin taxes on trust products is loud
and clear. The movement within and
without the Republican party is wei
defined. The purpose OF the movement
is clear. The Justice OF il is obvious 10
those who see that the greatest. and 10
those who believe that the only, evil
with which legislation can deal Is the
partnership between the government
and the combinations, or corpora tons.
At least. II is demonstrable that the
first attack should be against the laws
which enable some trusts to sell abroad
for lower prices than they demand az
home, which tempt them 60 corrupt
government. 10 buy seats In congress
and to raise milIion-doliar campaign
selves in the laws.
II is 10 this that the Roosevelt cam
paign Is coming. He may bring about
a revolution in the Republican party on
the tariff question. or he may turn the
couatry over 20 the Democratic party.
The simple fact Is that he is arousing
the country 20 a trial OF its strength
against the so-ealled trusts. The agita-
ton may cause some mischief. may re
salt IN some heavy losses, may retard
or temporarily divert a healthful eco
nomie process; but, in the end. il is
bound to be practical. and then the
country win take from the great COM
binatlons usually called trusts. all the
benefits they now enjoy from the Ding
ley tarif laws"

Where Wood Engraving Originated.

Much controversy was at one time ex-
cited about the country that could claim
TO have originated wood engraving. A

early as the tenth century. The independ-

Tss OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

THAT THE DEMOCRATS OF Salt
Lake City and county have a real
izing sense OF their responsibilities was
evidenced by their work at the prima-
ries last night. The list Of delegates,
as published In The Herald this morn 70
ing, indicates that the county conven-
tion to be held next Monday and Tues
day win wear the collar OF 30 man nor
any clique or factions. Serious, broad
minded. enthusiastic Democrats were
chosen. and that the deliberations OF
the convention win be characterized by
an earnest desire for the welfare OF the
people is a fact assured.
The eyes OF al the people Of the
county are on the Democrats. To them
the independent voters and the Repub-
leans whose gorge rises al machine
methods and machine dictation. are
looking for ticket on which they can
all unite without sacrifice Of self-re-
spect and good citizenship. Such a
ticket win be nominated. and 1t must
BE- nominated. In the ranks OF the
Democratic party are many men Of
high standing and irreproachable char
acter. They are men who have won
Tor themselves enviable places In the
business and professional worlds. men
% whom all the people viii rally.
These men must allow their names
20 be placed upon the ticket 10 the ex-
eluslon Of undesirable and unit can
didates. and II they do. the ticket will
be successful beyond the peradventure
OF a doubt. The Republican county
convention nominated a legislative
ticket for one purpose. and for only
one purpose. That purpose is the cleo
tion OF a certain individual 10 the SEN
ate Of the United States. The sen
atorial candidates of the Republicans
are pledged 20 vote, two years hence,
for another candidate.
DO the voters Of salt Lake county
realize that the members OF the next
legislature win have considerable work
20 do In addition to eleeting a United
States SENATOR Do tley realize that
any vote or action OF a single United
States senator can affect them other
than very remotely? Has It dawned
upon them that the work OF the legis-
iature must necessarily have a vital
bearing on their welfare and their hap
piness? II they do realize these things
they cannot vote for the Republican
legislative nominees.
TIE Democrats next Monday and
Tuesday win nominate men capable of
framing laws which are needed by the
state; they win be men with ability 10
amend such laws as need amending
and % repeal such laws as have no
proper place on the statute book. When
a man Is III he doesn't send for a car
penter. And. by the same token. when
a county wants lawmakers e has no
business eiecting yassals Of a candi-
date for United States senator. This
county might as well install twelve
monographs into which the word
"Smoot' has been spoken in the next
legislature as To elect the ticket named
