SOME REPUBLICAN, GLOOM.

7 on PAYN, a conspicuous Republican
l. leader of the Plat forces in New
York, has been making a tour Of poS
litical observation through Ohio, West
Virginia and the rural districts Of
New York, his own state. The La
mentations Of jeremiah were cheerful
reading compared to the doleful wall
Mr.. Payn sets up as he gives his views
OF the outlook from a party stand
point. Listen to this, for instance:
president Roosevelt is now one OF
the most unpopular men ia the state
OF New York. If he had to 20 before
the people tomorrow he would be de-
feated by 100000 at least. II he has
any great strength in the middle west
I have failed to find it. It is
unfortunate that the party cannot
choose its candidate for the presidency
as It has been suggested United States
senator's should be chosen. If the vot-
ers could express their wishes Theo-
dore Roosevelt would not be heard of
again after the conclusion Of the term
Of Office which has been thrust upon
him by a cruel fate. He would have
no chance Of nomination il the voters
could have their say upon the matter.
Still, suppose he will be forced upon
the party as its candidate, and I shall
make no move to bring about any
other result. It would be useless"
Mr.. Payn achieved some fame by
being amDutated from the office Of
insurance commissioner OF the state OF
New York by a faction of his own
party. and Il is not to be expected that
he will regard the men responsible for
that result with any degree OF good
humor. Still, he IS entitled TO a hear
ing because he is vOicing the sentiments
Of a very strong combination of party
leaders. not only in New York. but in
several other Republican states which
have large delegations in the national
convention.
For instance, Mr.. Payn represents
fairly the attitude OF Mr.. Plat, Mr..
Quay and men Of their affiliations. All
Of them are hostile to the president,
and they have support in the financial
leaders Of New York who resent the
presidents policy in the coal strike ana
in the litigation intended to restrain
illegal combinations such as the North
erp Securities company.
Mr.. Payn is probably right when he
says the president would not be re-
nominated il It were left to a vote Of
the Payn forces. bat even the oppose
tion 10 Roosevelt in his own party rec
ognizes the futility OF fighting him in
the convention
So far as present indications go.
nothing can stop the Roosevelt boom
for denomination. Whether he can be
reelected IN spite Of the forces ar
rayed against him is an altogether diff
ferent matter Republican success in
the last two presidential campaigns
has been due largely to the contribu-
tions from the very men who are now
fighting Roosevelt and doing all they
can TO embarrass HIS administration.

TO AID SILK CULTURE.

A DISPATCH from Washington pub
Il lished yesterday said that Secre-
tary Wilson OF the department of agri-
culture had determined to promote the
silkworm industry. with special refer
ence 20 the south. This because labor
is cheap in the south, and because it
takes cheap labor TO make the silk
worm trade successful. The secretary
has three siIk-reeling machines. one Of
which he will send to the Tuskeegee
institute and the other to some place
that has not yet been decided upon.
We suggest that Mr.. Wilson consider
Utah in this connection. Silkworms
have been raised in this state with
more or less success for a number Of
years. At every state fair we see the
cOcOOns and the silk threads. Some
Utah women have had dresses made of
silk grown right here at home. 1t is
entirely probable that Utah could make
a silk exhibit at the St. Louis fair that
would give Secretary Wilson some
valuable pointers on that industry.
Utah is certainly. therefore, entitled
to consideration by the secretary. If
he is in earnest in his desire to en-
courage the industry, he cannot afford
to overlook this state.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

IT Is already evident that the Irriga-
l tio11 congress at ogden next month
is to be the most important gathering
that has ever been held in the inter-
mountain region. Not only will the
attendance be surprisingly large, but
the magnitude Of the questions to be
discussed and the interest being
aroused all over the country by the
congress promise to make it a great
success in every way.
One fact is of special significance in
this connection. Nearly all the larger
newspapers Of the country will be rep
resented at the congress by staff cor
respondents instead Of depending upon
local representatives and the Assoei-
ated Press reports. Eastern news
papers have not hitherto paid much
attention to the irrigation question, and
the fact that they are preparing to
get special reports Of this convention
shows that they regard it as of un-
usual Importance.
Present reports show conclusively
that the men who will attend the Og-
den meeting as delegates and advisers
are to play a large part in determining
the policy Of the government along tbs
lines laid down by the irrigation act
While the ogden congress has no Of
fetal character and cannot Iegislate
Its official expressions will carry weight
with the department officials who are
charged with the administration Of the
Irrigation act Numerous senators
congressman, governors and officials OF
the government win be in attendance
and their conclusions win doubtless be
used as the basis Of future legislation
affecting irrigation matters.
It behooves ogden, Salt Lake and
the whole state of Utah, therefore, 10
receive and entertain this convention
Of representative men in a way befit-
ting the Importance Of the occasion
and the high character of the guests at
tending. ogden is doing most of the
work, naturally, but Salt Lake has its
reputation as a host at stake also, and
should get ready at once to take its
share of the responsibility for the sue
cess of the congress. The Ogden com
mittees will call upon this city to CO.
operate with them; they have already
expressed their wishes to that effect
and they should find the most cordial
support from every business man in
this city.

KING RocKEFELLER's ERROR.

MOT SINCE THE DAYS of Andrew
~ Jackson has there beeen such a
problem before an executive as the one
which confronts Roosevelt in the finan-
cial situation today. Jackson had the
bank ring to face, and he did it with a
courage and sincerity that won him
eternal renown among the lovers Of
Democracy and hatred from the money
kings of his day.
Roosevelt has possibly a more diff
cult problem even than the one that
made the issues of Old Hickory's time
Then it was question of granting by
federal enactment banking privileges
Of enormous value and monOpolistic
privilege; now it is a question as to
whether the United States government
or Mr.. Rockefeller is the greater
There is no talk of a grant-Mr. Rock
efeller has simply seized a power that
no man should possess and the presi-
dent himself may well be puzzled as to
the best way Of meeting the situation.
Wall street individuals and publica-
tions have had a good deal to say
about the need of legislation to provide
a more elastic currency, while Mr.
Rockefeller has been demonstrating to
everybody's satisfaction the fact that
no currency. no legislation, no crop
situation can affect his ability to ele-
vate or depress legitimate values at
will.
The Standard Oil magnate, accord
ingly, has the president of the United
States ip a qUandary-a humiliating
admission for an American to make.
If congress enacts a law to relieve Wall
streets acute attack of speculative
colo, Mr.. Rockefeller is more apt to
profit by it than are the victims of the
late water-spout in Industrial stocks.
If congress elects to do nothing and
allows the squeeze in New York to
spread to business affairs, Mr.. Rock
efeller again will profit more than any
other citizen of the republic. In other
words, the great oil monopolist is in a
position 10 catch 'em coming or going,
he can laugh at senators and congress-
men and presidents, and he has the
whole United States at his mercy-for
the time being.
1t will be remembered that the Amer
lean people are good-natured, long
suffering, and even jocose under tribu-
lation up to certain limit. 1t vas so
in King Georges day, it was remarked
in years just prior TO the great rebel
lion, and it is noticeable just now. But
in all Of these crises, there was lin
lit to the endurance and the good ma
ture of the American people. Unless
the signs fail, Mr.. Rockefeller is max
ing the same error that was fatal to
! George III. and to the Shareholders of
the south in installing good nature for
| servile submission. One of these fine
days Mr.. Rockefeller win wake up as
did his kingly predecessor in error, and
find that his privileges have been taken
from him, his stolen profits confscated
and his dominion over the American
republic replaced by a government OF
the people, for the people and by the
| people
And may that day come sooni d.
