Will Show Cause Why He Should Not


BUTTE, Mont.-A Helena special to
the Miner says:
Judge r. W. Harvey, of the Silver
Bow county district court, was before
the supreme court to answer to an or
der to show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt in the case
Of E. B. Mendenhal against Thomas H.
Hodgens and P Dinoon. Mendenhal
brought suit against Hodgens and Din
DON for damages aggregating about
100000, alleging that by reason of their
failure to keep promise regarding the
furnishing of funds for the purchase
Of four carloads Of apples in Seattle.
the plaintiff was arrested and tried for
obtaining goods under false pretenses
and was to serve a two-year term in
the Washington state penitentiary.
Last week APPLICATION was made to the
supreme court for an order directing
Judge Harvey to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt
for having changed the minute entry
in his court regarding this case while
the proceedings had been stayed by
the higher court.

BERLIN, Jan. IA miniature
Humbert case is just now a subject Of
much discussion in certain Berlin CIR
cles. Prof. Moritz Meyer, 60 years Of
age, and his pretty wife, who is "A

a charge Of obtaining goods and money
under false pretenses, and also with
perjury and procuring. DR.. Meyer,

hall artistic. The uneqEally matched
pair began their married life by con-
acting large debts. and it is alleged
that the young wife obtained large
amounts OF jewelry on credit from
Fashionable shops in Berlin. She was
always elegantly dressed, and 1t is
stated that she could obtain anything
on credit at the best milliners and
dressr~Q kers. At their elegant home

SENATOR LODGES ouIsBLE,

CENATOR LODGE was guilty of the
y shabbiest kind of clubbing when he
said the Roosevelt letter to DR.. Albert
Shaw on Panama had been published.
1t was published, true enough, but not
in full. The most interesting feature
of the document was omitted. We are
told that the correspondent to whom
the letter was given bIue-penciled the
closing paragraph, which was:
Privately, 1 say to you that I should
be delighted if Panama were an indie
pendent state: or if it made itself so
at this moment; but for me to say so
publicly would amount to an instiga-
ton of a revolt, and therefore cannot
say it."
Senator Lodge and other friends of
President Roosevelt may. get people
outside of the newspaper profession to
believe the correspondent deliberately
omitted this paragraph. but they wiz
never get newspaper men to believe it.
A correspondent who would throw
away of his own free will and accord
news item of such tremendous value
would be discharged instanter, and he
couldn't get a place carrying copy on
another newspaper if his history were
known
Washington correspondents. as a rule,
are selected from the brightest news
paper men in the country. The Wash
ington' assignment is what is known in
the profession as the ''star job" We do
not believe there is a single Washing
ton correspondent, even if he does only
department routine, who would have
omitted the paragraph. A man who
would do a thing like that would, with
an important treaty before him, wire
mis- paper that the treaty had been con-
Guided and fail TO set forth its terms.
The real truth is probably that the
Shaw letter was given to the CORE
spOndent with the last paragraph al
ready eliminated. Either that or he
was requested by the individual who
gave it TO him not to use the para
graph. On no other hypothesis is it
possible to account for the omission.
And Senator Lodge has been in Wash
ington long enough TO appreciate the
truth of this statement.

REGISTER TO-DAY.

no YOU KNOW we win be very glad
~ when we have discharged our final
obligation in this matter of registra-
ton? You, too, are tired of the vain
repetitions-" They have wearied you,
perhaps, as they have wearied us. At
the outset let US say that if your name
is on your registration book you need
not read these remarks. They are not
intended for you. If you haven't reg
istered, let this remind you of the ne
cessity of doing so.
Register today.
Two more opportunities to get your
name on the registration book in your
district viii be offered. One opportuni-
ty comes today, the other tomorrow.
If YOU fail to register either today or
tomorrow you viii not be permitted to
vote next Tuesday. 1t is the duty of
every citizen TO register and vote. No
man who fails to exercise the suffrage
privilege has a right to complain when
incompetent individuals are elected to
Office.
Register today.
II you register and vote and still in
competents are elected. you will at
least have the satisfaction of knowing
you have done all you could to prevent
1t. This matter of voting should be
made a business proposition. Citizens
should vote exactly as they attend
meetings Of stockholders and directors.
They should exercise the same care in
their selection of oficeholders that they
do in selecting corporation officers.
Briefly, they should do their duty as
citizens.
Register today.
1t is absurd to say your vote will
have no effect on the result. II every
body felt that way the ms would al
ways stay in, no matter what they did,
and the outs would always stay out,
no matter how meritorious their claims
might be. If only a small percentage
of the voters turned out to elections
don't you know it would be exactly the
percentage that you do not want in
control Of public affairs?
Register today.
Register this morning as you go to
your work. Delay is dangerous. Don't
take a chance on losing your vote.

ton for a nomination to the district
bench. Fortunately q damper was put
on his aspirations. Now 70 show that
the fires Of his party loyalty burn as
fiercely as ever. Tanner is doing his
devious best for the Republican ticket.
He is going around the state telling
the Mormon voters that they should
vote for Joseph Howell and against
Judge Powers because, more than four
teen years ago. Judge Powers was
prominently identified with the Liberal
party This is Tanners idea of a fair
and dignihed campaign, this his notion
Of the proprieties. To secure a tempo
rary political advantage he would kin
die afresh fires that long since became
dead ashes.
It is not necessary for The Herald to
defend Judge Powers course. His rec
ord is his own. all the people of Utah
know II, and he is willing to stand by
Sc. When the Liberal party was dis
banded Judge Powers returned to his
Democratic allegiance. He was a DEM

Democrat now. And the Mormon peo-

CAMPAiGh IN DAVIS.

THE CAMPAIGN that the Democrats
L of Davis county are making is one
that deserves success at the polls next
week. Their fight from the beginning
has been clean one. 1t has contained
nothing Of which any Democrat in
Davis county, whether the party wins
or loses. need feel ashamed If the
voters of Davis county know when
they are well off they will elect their
ticket from top to bottom.
The nominees are such substantial,
able citizens as Hyrum Stewart for
representative in the legislature; Dan
Muir and John S. White, jr, for long
and short-term commissioners, respec-
lively; Thomas H. Phillips for clerk, S.
NJ. Kershaw for treasurer, w. H.
Streeper. jr., for attorney, ]. J. Hal
brook for sheriff, John Z. Thurgood for
assessor. Mrs. Sarah A. Howard for re-
corder, A d. Knowlton for surveyor
and Arthur yelling for superintendent
OF schools.
A comparison of these names with
those on the Republican ticket in Da-
Wis county cannot fail to rebound to
the credit of the Democratic nom
inees. Every Democrat on the ticket
is pledged. if elected, to conduct the
affairs of the county on a sane, safe
and honest basis. All are pledged to
such economy as is compatible with ef-
ficient public service, and all will make
records of which they and the taxpay-
ers may well be proud. The Herald
wishes the nominees a full measure of
success.

pie have no better friend outside OF
their faith today than Judge o. W.
Powers. But we have no desire to dis
cuss Judge Powers az this time. Tan
ner is the man we wish to hold up TO
the public view.
Examine Tanner, if you please. Tan
ner has about as much idea of the pro-
prieties as the Sultan of Johore has Of
morals. Any judge on the stump is
sorry spectacle for citizens who believe
in a stainless judiciary. but the specta-
Gle becomes unspeakably contemplate
when the judge deliberately attempts
to stir up class prejudice as Tanner
has done.
If Tanner believes the Mormon people
should vote against Judge Powers be-
cause he was a Liberal more than a
dozen years ago, is it not fair for others
to believe that no former Liberal could
get justice in Judge Tanners court?
The moment a judge begins making
partisan speeches. and especially when
he departs from proper channels of dis
cussion, when he doesn't hesitate to soil
his ermine with the foulest mud Of pol
tiles. the people have a right to ques-
ton his ability to be impartial.
Tanner has no business on the stump.
In the light of his record it is too much
to expect him to see the improperly
Of his action. But the Republican
state committee is responsible for him.
1t accepted his services and it is prop
erly chargeable with everything he
does. Tanner should be called off in
stantly.

The leaves with the rain are falling
And the day is dark and cold
And the voice of the wind is calling.
Calling so loud and bold
Telling that summer has gathered
Enough of her green and gold
The green on the hills is fading
And the trees viii soon be nude
That yesterday were shading
Some quiet. solitude;
For the rain and the leaves are failing
And the wind means through the wood.
The Songbirds' nests are forsaken,
The choir of the forest is gone,
The trees with the wind are shaken
And OH for a WOODLANDS song
To gladden. the days now coming.
The days so drear and long.
The pastures and meadows are barer,
But the brook like a silver chain
Seems brighter and even fairer
When viewed through the drizzling rain
And the naples reflect the glory
OF the peaks across the plain
Only one voice is singing
In wood and field and dell,
It's liquid bells are ringing
Adown the hills to tell
How all the woods are silent
1 How lost is the summers spell.
