Thought to Have Been Crazed by

A. Day of the Marine Corps on March
II next on the charge of executing ma
tives of the Island of Samar without
trial. Some of the circumstances in the
case are peculiarly atrociOus.
One native was tied to a tree and
publicly shot in the thigh The next
day the man was shot in the arms. The
third day he was shot i'm the body, and
the fourth day the native was killed.
Friends Of the two officers attribute
their actions to loss of mind, due to the
privations which they suffered in the
Island of Samar.
The expedition of Major Waller and
a detachment of marines, alluded to in
the foregoing dispatch, started the last
week of December, 1901, from Lamang,
on the east coast of Samar, to cross the
Island to BasOy, about thiTty-fiVe miles.
InCessant rains from the start, swollen
streams and other natural obstacles
made progress extremely slow, and
when their ratiOns were consumed the
man became exhausted and dropped
along the way.
Major Waller became separated from
his brother officers Capt. Porter and
Lieut.. r. p. Williams, and the greater
part of the men and proceeded to BasOy
where he arrived June with two Off
GERS and thirteen men, including Lieut.
Lyles Of the 18th Infantry. The major
returned to the mountains the next day
for relief, but turned back to BasOy
about ten days later, his trip having
been unsuccessful.
The second day after separating from
Waller, Capt Porter moved toward
Lanang, where he arrived January IL,
with two men, all exhausted physically
and mentally. Lieut.. Williams and
over thirty men were left in the noun
| tains in a similar condition. A relief
! expedition reached Samar January Is
and saved Lieut.. Williams and all his
companions, with the exception of ten
men, who were not found and who UNI
| dOubtedly died from starvation.

The Republicans of Cache County
must not be dazzled by the excellent
prospects for victory this fall and fail
to regard all the necessary things to
make that victory certain. Now Is
the time to use the greatest discre-
ton, for though the victory may be
half won there is still fight on hand.
Only the best men should be selected
to be the standard-bearers of the
party-men who are qualified first Of
all, and then men who are at least
well-known over the county, or who
have personality that would win
them votes. Let the different can
didates 20 into the convention with
the full knowledge that but one man
let him be willing to abide by the de-
cision of the voters. If In the shut
fling he should be the man who lost
out, let him accept defeat as a prob
ability he had already considered, and
then go to work for the man who was
nominated. Schemes are often resort
ed to as a means of securing the
nomination Of some candidate-in fact
friends of each man will do all the
scheming possible, but any man who
happens to become a victim of the
scheming-a game at which he him
self played should not become dis

The platform adopted by the Utah
Republicans praises Roosevelt, re-
afiirms national platform, recognizes
the right of labor, denounces Demo-
cratic assaults on the army and navy,
advocates the opening of the Uintah
reservation, indorses the ship canal,
insists on mine inspection, and has
the following to say of trusts: The
Republicans of Utah are conservative.
We recognize that the twentieth CEN
tury organization of commerce and
industry are a natural development
of our progressive, social and COM
mercial conditions. They have been
powerful factor in the universal
employment of labor during the last
five years, and they have been one of
the chief agents by which the United
States has been able in that time to
capture foreign markets. The Repub-
licans of Utah therefore set their
faces steadfastly against the dema-
gogic demands of the Democratic
party to annihilate organization Of
labor and capital; and we demand in
stead of the Democratic party's policy
of destruction that the evils of trusts
shall be remedied, We are opposed
to all aggregations and combinations
Of capital having for their object the
arbitrary and unjust control Of prices
or the oppression of labor. We there
fore declare for legislation which shall
give the national Government auth
GRITTY over the modern organizations
of commerce which do business
throughout the whole nation; and we
favor such wise and conservative laws
prices and lowering of wages. We
applaud the stern enforcement by
President Roosevelt of all existing
laws which seek to regulate trusts
and we call the attention of the peo
pie to the fact that every statute is q
Republican act. Should an amend
ment to the Constitution be found
necessary to give the general Govern
ment ample power to regulate these
great modern corporations, we favor
such an amendment; and we cite the
fact that the Republicans in Congress
proposed such an amendment to the
Constitution and the Democratic
members OF Congress voted against 1t

In nominating Richard w. Young
for the Supreme bench our Demo-
cratic friends certainly had no other
idea than to nominate man, who for
one reason or another would probably
pull more votes than any other man
they could put up qualifications evil
IDENTIFY cutting no figure. Young was
educated along military lines, gradu-
ated from West Point and has always
held military positions. 1t will be re-
membered that he recruited soldiers
in this Safe and served in the Philip
pine war. After his return he decided
to go in for law and and is now a can
didate for the highest Office i'm the
judicial line. With practically no ex-
perience as lawyer and less as a
judge he has the effrontery to stay on
the ticket and run against man of
such unquestioned ability and capaci-
ty as Judge w. NJ. McCarty. 1t is
said I'm his favor that he comes from
an illustrious family. This is not de-
MED, but will the halo cast round a
head by illustrious family relations fit
military man for responsible judi
cial position? 1t would be nothing
more than justice to voters of the
state, and the exercise of common
prudence on Mr.. Young's part for him
to get off the ticket and make things
unanimous for Judge McCarty.

BY the initiated it Is understood
that there are at least three of the
most prominent Democrats in the
county who would like to kick out of
the ranks and join the Republican
party, but owing to their prominence
the break would be such an abrupt
one, that the nerve is lacking. These
men will probably vote the Republi-
can ticket, but until after the cam
paign, they will have to keep their
place before the public eye, and then
slip out quietly when the break will
not cause such ripple.
