At Srnithfield.

There is a little politics going on in
more places than Logan and Salt
Lake. Smithfeld partisans have
named tickets and the Republicans
and Democrats are out for fierce
struggle. 1t is said that both tickets
are composed OF good strong people,
and that the fight will be a close one.

That Missing Book

The important boOk' missing at
the court house, instead OF being
CLERK Farrell's Dutch Bible" hap
pens to be a book of STUBS FROM RE
CEIPTs FOR TAXES PAID into the
treasurer's office In 1901. And dispite
assertions in Saturdays issue of 1.-THE
only newspaper printed in Cache
county," THAT book has not yet been
found.
We do not mean to intimate that
THIS book has any extraordinary bear
ing on the case-it may have and IL
may not-for there Is one other entry
of the taxes paid in. However, those
entries are scattered through the
books and it may take great deal Of
work to get at the matter which this
book of stubs would reveal in few
minutes.
The very fact that this book, or ANY
book of great or little Importance
should be missing, connected with the
fact that more than $500 has already
been paid In to cover up discrepancies,
and the admission of "the only" that
certain duplicate receipts had not
been transferred properly, is proof
positive that affairs were not con-
Quoted as they should have been.
There has been carelessness to say the
least, and Of such nature that the
public may reasonably be led to ex.
pect unfortunate results from that
carelcssness.
THE REPUBLICAN has not by init
nation or inuendo charged either Mr..
Farrell or Mr.. Hendricks with
crooked work." Instead, we sincere
ly believe that these gentlemen as
principals i'm their respective offices
are wholly free from stain, but they
ARE responsible for the work in their
offices, and the report Of the auditing
committee will show whether or not
anyone Is to bc responsible for any
thing more than carelessneSs.
The REPUBLICAN has not cared t
agitatc this matter. Had we cared t
do so, we might have aired the afIail
several weeks ago, as we were then II
possession OF great portion OF thu
facts. However, We feel kindly to
ward the interested parties, ant
would fain have kept the matter
quiet as long as possible, but wher
the Democratic organ deliberatel,
villifies Republican officials - call.
them 'dishonest," tools" "incom
petents," etc., wholly without proc
or cause, you can bet your bottom
dollar that this paper will not remain
quiet when 1t has PROOF OF certain
failings in that party which "th'
only" disgraces.
Some of this matter doesn't SOUND
well to our Democratic brethren
whose long continued hold on the pc
litical reins has caused them TO be
lieve that they are impregnable, bu
let them ''call of" that organ which
Is no credit to them and teach it bet
ter manners, and they will be spared
many painful word.

Whatever else this paper might be
guilty Of, we will never be charged

That Lumber Deal.

Representatives of 1.-The only" have
recently visited the canyon, and now
report that 10000 feet of the lumber
bought by Mayor Hansen has been
'culled" as unfit for use. "The only"
adds: And the city has to stand for
any loss on that account, when the
Danlelsen people would have been
compelled to shoulder that loss had
their contract remained undisturbed
We believe that we have proved to
the satisfaction OF nine-tcnths OF the
people OF this city, that 1.-THE only"
has repeatedly misrepresented actual
conditions so far as the light plant Is
concerned and has wrongfully stigma
tiled and villitied the Republican
officials and administration at every
turn. That paper is now attempting
20 misrepreSent this lumber matter
to you, and In few words we can
show you their weak point.
First-Grant that 10000 feet has
been 'culled" as no good on the pipe
line-this merely proves that the
officials are seeing TO it that only the
best lumber is going into this struct-
ure. This Is proof of the carefulness
that is being displayed.
Secondly-The city has a standing
offer for all the lumber that Is culled,
and at the same price. the city paid
Tor 1t. AS a result there could be no
loss under any circumstances.
Thirdly-there are certain portions
of the wooden structures that do not
require the highest grade of lumber
and ALL THAT HAS BEEN CULLED WILL
BE USED.
Fourthly Mayor Hansen under
stood these conditions when lie went
to Oregon and bought accordingly.

extent than before. You had better

To-day's Race and the Two Boa,s.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sr. 1t may
be that the gamblers are wiser than the eI-
perts, At all events they have a keen scent
for good tips and their surprising odds on
Reliance seem to have grown in the belief
that the boat which beat the boat which beat
the old Shamrock must beat the boat which
beat the beaten boat.
Well it does look little that way TO me:
for, after all the figuring and measuring by
the experts, the only little line on the COM
pcting yachts was found in the belly of the
first fiuke. That magic windward- driving
curve said 10 be visible in the under body Of
Shamrock III. failed to show itself through
the haze Of Thursdays lzzle.
Granting that Reliance was favored by
fiukes which in light and tickle airs seem to
cling longer to the larger spread of canvas.
there is still room for surprise at the rather
poor showing of the challenger. Reliance
may be brute among boats, but at least she
is a powerful and long-legged brute. She
shows up pretty well in all kinds of weather.
while Shamrock III, judged by her per-
Torrance the other day, looks little like a
boat that is seen at her best on paper.
However Tomorrow race. with the help of
the wind will give us clear idea of the rela-
tive merits Of tho two yachts. Surprises are
IN the air and the rapidly growing impress
sion that Shamrock is n sham may be blown
out to sea.
All the same strongly suspect that the
steaming flies and the smoking guns ton NOR
row evening will play the same old tune. One
more for America" W.

ROOM FOR MILITARY SCHOOLS.
General stan Has Plan TO Appoint Honor
Men to the Army.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Plans for increas-
ing the interest in military instruction in
universities and colleges in the United States
have been formulated by the General STAFF,
and general order will be issued within a
few days providing for the appointment OF
honor graduates of certain schools to second
leutenancies in the regular army, subject,
however, to the regular army examination,
There are about twenty schools and colleges
which have inaugurated system OF military
instruction and which have regular army
officers as instructors
The plan adopted by the General Stat
is to select each year from all these schools
six that have shown greater progress IN
military instruction. and from each Of these
six colleges one honor graduate will be
selected for appointment to the army,
subject to the usual examination The
plan now determined upon does not COL
template the selection of candidates from
any school not employing a regular army
instructor, and only six of such schools
will be selected from which to make APP
pointments.
The selection Of the schools for this
honor will be made by the War College
Board of the General Stat. This board wi
receive reports from r agliar army inspectors
and from the officers on duty as instructors,
and from these reports will form de-
cision as to which six schools are entitled
to have a candidate named for appoint
ment.

Mr.. Conried's Opera Promises

The opera is such an important feature
OF winter life in tho metropolis that the
announcements of the new impresario,
HEINRICH CoNRIED were awaited with
more than usual interest. Whether he
was to make radical changes in the nature
OF the entertainment to be provided or
in the general character of the organiza-
ton and its repertory was, of course, a
question OF no little interest to all music
lovers. Those who have been uuiveripp
with fear lest the new manager should
overthrow ancient traditions and forever

n "Lohengrin" dove over the Metropolis

over on their touches and address them-
selves to fresh sleep There will be no
revolution in the management of OUT
opera. lie roi est mort, piue Le roi Kings
change, but policies and prima donnas
still rule.
Mr.. CoNRIED has plainly cast his fort
unes with "Parsifal. That is to be the
beginning and the end of his season. Or.
rather, it is to be outside of his season, and
to every one who desires it is offered the
very precious privilege of hearing it at a.
special price. This may or may not be
art, but it is surely business. The other
operas which are announced, with the
solitary exception of SMETANAs Bar
tered Bride, are to be put on as sops to
prima donnas, and they were already
promised to the same prima donnas by
Mr.. GRAU, 1t looks as if Mr.. CoNRIEp
had been forced to yield to the nexora-
BILE demands of the sopranos union.
The entire strength Of the company is
to be, as it was last season, in its soprano
singers. Two Of the tenors are unknown
here, but report does not credit them
with more than respectable accomplish
ments, The bass and contralto depart
ments are lamentably weak. The engage
ment of Mr.. MoTTL as conductor is not 40
important as it seems. European ac-
counts say that Mr. MoTTL discovered
several years ago that Wagner was a
soporific and that he still believes so.

TWO OPEN PORTS IN MANCHtRTA
chinese Minister Announces Favorable
Decision OF Ills 4 Ountry

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 Sir Chen'ung
Liang Cheng, the Chinese Minister, vis'op
the State Department this morning In cor
nection with the assurances of the Chinese
Government that provision will he made
in the commercial treaty with this country
for the opening Of two treaty ports in Man
chura. This treaty is to be signed on
Oct. =, when the formal evacuation of Man
churla by Russia Is expected to take place.
The United States has insiste ed that al lcasf
two ports in Manchuria shall be declared

Government, and failed. not an he says,
because it lacked concerted action,
but for the reason that it was utterly
lacking in substance.
Discomfort does exist in Cuba. No
country is free from it, and there are
signs Of 1t even In our own land. But
discomfort and criticism of the Admins
tration are not necessarily synonymous
with revolution or uprlsings. The Gu
ban Government is sharply criticised by
a portion OF the Cuban press and by
many Of the Cuban people. That there
Is ground for this criticism is undeniable.
But the essential point for Americans to
remember is that the major portion Of
the existing unrest in the island is di-
rectly attributable to the dilatory and
selfish attitude of the United States
toward Cuba's industrial interests. So
cial unrest and political discomfort are
the inevitable fruit Of poverty, and, not
withstanding the economy Of the Cuban
Government, the payment of national
expenses and the accumulation Of sur
plus in the national treasury, the con-
dition of the Cuban people is that of hard
struggle against adverse economic con-
ditions
Given a state Of general prosperity,
and people will endure without COM
plant weak or even an offensive gov
ernment Given hard industrial strug-
gle, and mutterings and discomfort are
inevitable. The Government of Inter-
vention cleaned Cuba's streets and
stamped out yellow fever, but it found
Cuba poor, left it poverty stricken and
has refused, thus far to extend such help
as the Cubans might find in the proposed
enactment Of reciprocity.

The Western Union Case at st. Louis

Certain members of local lodge Of
the Commercial Telegraphers' Union re.
Gently applied to the Circuit Court of the
United States for an injunction prevent.
ing the Western Union Company from
discharging employees because they
belonged to the union and from MAIN
tanning what is known as blacklist OF
such discharged employees.
The complaint alleged, first that men
had been dismissed without notice from
the company's employ because they
were members of the union, and. sec
ondly that the Western Union, its Off
GERS and its agents had entered into a
conspiracy to destroy the union.
The opinion denying the injunction
was handed down by Judge JOHN H.
ROGERS of the Western District of Arkan-
sas, sitting at st. Louis in place Of Judge
ADAMS. As to the first complaint, the
Federal court held that in the absence Of
contract relations the employer has the
same right to discharge any employee,
with or without notice, as the employee
has. under the same conditions, to quit
the service Of the company
q. In regard to the charge Of conspiracy
to destroy the union by discharging
members thereof, the Federal Judges
opinion was as clear as crystal. The
dismissals being lawful, the Court de-
clared that there could be no conspiracy;
there is no such thing in law as a con-
spiracy to do lawful thing. Judge
ROGERS continued:
" II would be intoerable II man could be com
PEELED by OF equity to serve another az alnst
his WILL or II could be compelled TO retain In
bis employ one he does not want
Suppose that man should file a bill alleging
that he belonged 10 the honorable and ancient
order of FrcenusOns or to the Presbyterian Church.
or TO the Grand Army OF the Republic: that his en-
ployer had discharged him solely on that account
that he discharged others In his employ and in
tended to discharge all OF them for some reason
that he kept book containing all tho names Of such
discharged persons and entered opposite the name
ofeach discharged person the fact that he had been
discharged solely on the ground that he belonged to
such organization and that he had given such In
formation to others, who refused to employ such
persons on that ground.
Is 1t possible a court Of equity could grant re-
lief II so, on what Eround' And yet this Is a
parallel case to that made by the bill"
This noteworthy opinion merely en-
bodies the law of common sense and the
long-accepted principles of individual
liberty under our free institutions.
Nevertheless, the issue raised by the
application for an injunction restraining
the Western Union company in the
management of its own lawful business
has become so greatly befogged in the
minds Of many estimable persons that it
was high time for clarifier like Judge
ROGERS to appear on the bench and to
emit some plain truth.
