Editor Independent: The indie
pendent comes this week looking
cleaner, brighter and more cheerful.
From the depths of my soul springs
feeling of pride as l read the address
promulgated at Denver-short but
sweet. In two campaigns populists
rendered reinforcements to democrats:
they were sadly in need of it; the
rank and file of that party were anx-
i0us for it; their leaders were not
willing for any populist to lead.
Wellington needed Blucher's rein
forcements; he was not willing for
Butcher to lead them. Both old par
ties are in the main dominated by men
whose interest is IDENTICAL men who
are the benefciaries, direct or indi-
Iectly, of governmental favor. The
show of fight between this class now
visible in some states is sham. II
We ever have real reform it must be
inaugurated and carried forward by
men neither drunk upon wealth nor
imbittered by poverty-a conservative
middle class.
l think now is the time to arouse
that class to action. Every man who
has the good Of his country at heart
should rally to the reform press, cir
culate it, sustain the editors; not
great many papers, but larger and
better ones. OF all the things an old
party politician breads to be con-
fronted with is the records of his par
ty-facts and figures gathered from
United States census reports for fifty
years.
To illustrate: A few years ago !
was engaged in sidewalk discussion
with a couple of gentlemen when a
prominent lawyer and politician
CHANGED to pass. He halted mo-
ment addressing the two men in front
of me, and said: "You had better let
this old farmer pop alone; if he ever
gets his statistical foundation laid
down, all hell can't up trip him.
Here's a health to you, Mr.. Editor,
and check on Uncle Sam to pay a
years subscription from date Of ex-
piration. Hope you will receive hun
Gred thousand of them in the next 80
days.
Mr.. Editor, you disobeyed an in
junction from me in publishing my
last. I am not a writer or speaker,
neither do I desire to be conspicuous.
Do as you please with this. One re-
quest only, viz: that you read it and
believe me sincere.

Stored Up Lator

Editor Independent: The difference
between Mr.. B. F. French and The
Independents position as to "the
stored up labor" is one of those mat
ters involving the closest of attention
lest we overlook something not down
in our usual usage o. our vocabularies.
French contends for the storing up of
labor-The Independent that such a
thing is not possible.
Looking closely is not this the fact.
that labor is term descriptive of en-
ergy in action? If it is, labor cannot
be stored; for action is always of the
present moment in time and whatever
is stored must be of time past.

That "Affldavy" Again

Editor independent: I feel moved
to write little to Mr.. Marquis in ex-
PLANTATION of what caused that effu-
sion from him in the Independent of
May Z.
| would ask Mr.. Marquis how far
from being farce or comedy" is
economic discussion" when any man
arrogates to himself the final judg-
ment of what Is, Or is not "God-or-
dained revenues?"
The play" on, was not OF my
making. That was already in prog
less-good naturedly-betWeen two
gentlemen, when, at point in the
"by-play" where they seemed to diff
fer, 1, being amused" thereby, in
nocently-but "unwisely" as Mr.. Mar
quis thinks-asked for the "afidayy"
the word this 'by-play" just there
seemed to call for.
Does Mr.. Marquis seriously put that
article as written for The Independent
on par, in sacredness, with the Holy
Writ of the Sermon on the Mount and
the Decalogue? If he does | beg b
pardon for the jar | must Lave given
10 his feelings.
From my point of view no irrever-
ence was intended or implied in my
feeling amused" at what seemed very
like "farce or comedy" when men
assume the role of speaking by au-
thority for God, in defining what are
or what are not "God-ordained' rev.
enues.
That "afidavy'' would seem to be
about the only safeguard to protect
you in your loyalty to Omniscient au-
thority, or from being "side-tracked'
and seduced by false gods" who as
sumo omniscient prerogatives. To
solve and dispel that puzzled feeling
of Mr. Marquis as to what kind of a
man he is"-being rather bashful my
self on that score-I would refer him
as he says "he's at loss to guess
to my wife as being the proper per-
son to give me character as "a weii-
meaning man, doing the best know"
Occasionally slip on this last, how
ever.)
I will further allude only to the
''free-gratis" prescription given by the
gentleman as to the beneficial effects
Ito a man who sees the humorous
side OF everything, the object les
son" of ''his seeing great city-a
Chicago or a San Francisco" For the
suggestion of this idea, will he please
accept my thanks, | have reason to
feel that this is true; but-my opinion
as to the value of that ''affidavy!" is
Just the samei Having resided and
done business in San Francisco, in the
SOS, and in Chicago fifteen years
later-to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned so far as we know-we don't
feel so badly paralyzed in eontem-
plating the "fall' intended for us from
the lofty altitude of that idea as set
forth as we otherwise might have felt.
Freaks of the mind" surely arc past
accounting for.

affair The citizens held a caucus anC
nominated Henry Lewis and MorgaL
Evans Later the Socialists called
primary and nominated John s. Snow ana
John StOker. Very little interest is usu-
ally manifested at the school elections

lists put "a ticket in the field at the last
moment and elected their candidate by q

Six ministers from eastern states, repre-
senting six different denominations, have
located in Lehi and are carrying on
vigorous campaign CT converting the
MormOns. They declare their mission is
not to tear down any religion. but their
sermons are on subjects upon which the
Mormons and non Mormons differ. Their
tracts. which are being distributed TO
every house, make specific attacks on
Mormon beliefs The meetings which
are held on the streets, are largely at
tended and heretofore have been char
acterized by earnest arguments after the
close between the six missionaris and
Datter-day Saints. Hereafter the preach

Their Way From Ogden.

-Four masked men armed with four big
guns held up four men who were beat
ing their way down from Ogden on
freight train last night
The robbers secured $3.50 in cash and
two sHter watches. The hold-up occurred

robbers were seen TO leave the train just
before IL pulled into Salt Lake.

were going from Butte to De Lamar,
New. left Ogden al $40 last night on a
freight train. The men were riding IN,
an open car known in railroad language
as a "gOndOla.' When about two miles
out of Ogden four men, all masked.
climbed into the car and. covering the
miners with revolvers, commanded them
TO throw up their hands.
The injunction was speedily Obeyed and
the hold-ups went through their victims
pockets, securing from the four men $50
and two watches. The robbers then left
the car and were not. seen again until
lust before the train reached this city,
when they left the train.
The hOld-up was at once reported to the

spent several hours in searching through
the saloons for the robbers, but were
unable to discover them.

himself as an Indian and make flying
trip 10 the nearest clothier. When ne
had made all preparations it occurred
TO him that being Sunday the mer-
chants would not be doing business so
he had to give that idea up. Mr. H.

long and has not a very extensive

from whom he could borrow a pair.
