THE CIVILIZED POWER.

The Toronto Telegram commenting
on the assault upon British fishermen
IN the North Sea, by the commander
Of the Russian Baltic feet, expresses
the opinion that n comparison be-
tween the behavior OF the Baltic feet
toward peaceful British fishermen and
the behavior OF Admiral Kamimura's
squadron toward the drowning sailors
from the Vladlyostok warshlps suggests
that there Is more pure religion and
Undecided IN the conduct Of heather
Japan than In the creed OF holy RUS
sia."
That question, whether Russia or
Japan II the civilized nation, Is also
discussed by George KEENAN, In tho
outlook. He argues that a civilized
country" must have mental and moral
culture. religious liberty general re-
spect for law. an impartial judicial
System. freedom TO think and TO act
within law. and so on In all these
respects Japan Is FAR ahead NJ Russia.

THE SECRET or IT.

The organ that Is constantly grind
ing out tho inonotonous tune OF
"Churoh influence" explains tho Sit
nation in the state Of New York on an
entirely different ground. II points
out that tho campaign there had de-
ecended to slanderous assaults and
mean inslnuatlons. As an instance OF
the tactics employed, It Is stated that
one OF the candidates said he had not
attacked the President after attacking
him, and that he did rot implgn his
integrity after impugning H."
Whether this IS true as applied to tho
campaign In the state Of New York,
we care not to discuss; but It certain-
~ describes with great accuracy the
campaign OF the local party that struck
n hostile attitude toward tho Repub-
lIcan party here, no less than toward
tho material interests Of Utah and her
people in general. And It accounts
satisfactorily and sufficiently, for the
result,
The conservative voters Of this state
cannot, any more than those Of other
states, be expected to rally 20 the sup
mort OF fictitious issues, no matter how
deliberately decorated Their own In
terosts are OF greater importance to
them than the personal aims Of dis
satisfied politicians And this fact
they demonstrated at the polls. There
was no other influence at work. No
other was needed.
Possibly some politicians have by ex-
perlence found that some voters can
be controlled" and swayed in one d.
rection or another, as the wind blows.
But It would be q great mistake TO sup
pose chat tho majority Of the voters Of
Utah are OF that class. They are free,
because they are intelligent They In
yestigate every issue presented before
them, and they form opinions, inde-
pendently. Even the lady voters dis
cuss and inquire intelllgently into the
questions OF the day. The majority OF
the people OF Utah cannot be led ex-
cept by reason and truth, Clamor and
falsehood have no effect upon them,
except to make q em all the more de-
termined to defend what Is right as
they see IT, They are accustomed TO
listen 20 correct principles, ana then
80 govern themselves Those Who hope
10 be able to gain influence among In
tollgent people BY buncombe, per-
version OF truth, and folsehoods, will
be doomed to failure and dlsappoint-
ment every time.

is THERE A SOUL ?

correspondent Of the Blnghamton
Press asks for some good proof outside
Of the Bible OF the existence OF a soul
in man--meanlng by soul the immortal
part OF man-that which lives on even
when the body dies,
This is somewhat popular use Of
the word soul, although the scrlptural
definition Is different In the story Of
the creation we are told that man ne
came n living soul" by the union OF
the divine breath with the terrestrial
form, and IN later revelations It is
stated. that the spirit and the body
IA the soul Of man" But no matter;
the correspondent desires 10 know
whether the doctrine Of the Immortality
of man is capable OF proof. outside the
Scriptures.
Our Blnghampton contemporary
takes the view that II demonstration

Tho post canteen question Il one OF
those that viii not down. Some years
ago, when the army canteen was abol-
ished by act OF Congress, at the earnest
request Of temperance friends II was
urged by the opponents Of the measure,
that It's adoption would result IN the
moral degeneration OF the soldier on
the other hand II was argued that no
one could know Just what the result
would be except by experience. The
friends Of the canteen now assert that
experience has proved their position to
be correct, and they urge the re-lnstate-
ment OF the institution.
General Corbin IN bis report to the
war department. defends the canteen
His position Is, that It Is impossible 20
stop drinking among the soldiers, and
that the army canteen, controlled by
responsible officers, Is preferable to the
resorts that are run without control II
that position can be demonstrated, the
question. we presume, Is virtually set
tied, FOR not even the most arduois
temperance friend can maintain that OF

PENALTYWAS DEATH
Fatal CdT0IeSSneSS of a
 Tempe Man
Otto Butzer, Alighting From a Street Car, Was Thrown to the Ground and His Neck Broken.

Otto Butzer of Tempe came to a sudden and accidental death in this city yesterday about 12:15 D. m.. by carelessly stepping from a street ear, falling and breaking his neck.
 MT. Butzer was at the office of the Arizona Abstract company less than an hour before and had made an ap- pointment to return in the afternoon. In the meantime he intended to go to McCarthy's blacksmith shop and look at buggy, the purchase of which he had in mind. He boarded an open west bound car, which was under the charge Of D. H. Schultz as conductor and N. Ruck as motorman. The conductor was on the rear platform and the mot orman was at his post. Just after pass ing Fifth avenue MT. Butzer rang the bell for the accommodation of laoy passenger who desired to leave the ear at the next street. As he re- sumed his seat his hat blew off and he turned round as if to rise when the conductor, seeing him, rang three bells, the signal for stopping immediately. MT ButZer, however, did not under stand the signal or else like the av- craze man, assumed that he could jump without hurting himself and thus SetN G ltiI4e. lie lnGIGLOIe rose without waiting for the car to stop,a and stepped off. AS he did so he was turned around so he fell on his back, breaking the spinal cord between the third and fourth vertebrae.
 Dr.. Bell chanced to be passing when the incident occurred and at once came to the mans assistance but he could find no sign of life nor by any means resuscitate him, death having come in stantly.
 Coroner Burnett was notified and empaneled a jury which viewed the body after which it was taken to the parlors of EasterlinS & Whitney, where the funeral will be held today at 2 o'clock under the auspices of the Odd Fellows lodge.
 The inquest revealed the above facts, all on board the car tesufying that Mir Butzer stepped from the car backward or in such a manner that he fell back ward, and the verdict exonerated the

A DARK HORSE ELECTION
A Mixed Situation in the Precinct of
 Glendale.

The precinct election at Glendale left a puzzling situation. something hith- erto unheard of in this part of the country, if indeed, such a thing ever happened in any other locality. There were three candidates for justice of the peace, J. D. Bivens, democrat, William Wiegold, republican, and H. Gerdes. prohibitionist. Bivens appears, accord ing to the official count to have re- ceived seventeen votes, Wiegold thir- teen and Gerdes five. It had been stat ed in reports of the count that Bivens had been elected. As a matter of fact the supervisors have not yet so decided and they do not know what to do about 1t, for on the face of the returns F. c. Bunch, who had not been heard of as a candidate, received forty-one votes. a plurality of twenty-four over the highest regular nominee. MT. Bunch's name was not printed on the official ballot, but his admirers in the Glendale precinct wrote it on enough of them to compIicate the situation.
 It is doubtful whether a certificate of election can be issued to MT. Bunch. The law provides that there are two ways by which a man can become a candidate for office under the Austra- Han system. He must either be nomi- mated in a nominating convention and his nomination must be certified to the board of supervisors; or else he must be put on the ticket by the petition of a certain per cent of the voters of the precinct. No such petition was ever presented to the board and the name of Mir. Bunch was not mentioned in any of the nominating conventions this year. MT. Bunch is not worrying; he is hopeful that the board may see it's way clear to decline to issue him a cer- tidcate
 There is also a somewhat similar case in Agua Caliente precinct where J. H. Root was elected justice of the peace and G. c. Root constable. Neith- CT was nominated, neither put on the ticket by petition but each received all the votes cast in the precinct.
 There is still another kind of a sit nation in Wickenburg precinct There was only one nominee there for justice of the peace, J. P. Boyd. He received Q majority of all the. votes cast, but several votes were cast for Hector Riggs. But before the official count, in fact. within two or three days af- ter the election MT. Boyd died. Mr. Riggs therefore believes that as sole survivor of the election for justice of the peace in that precinct he ought to have the certificate.

company and it's employees.
 MT. Butzer was 52 years old and had lived in the vicinity of Tempe for twen- ty years or more, being enc of the ear Hest settlers on farming lands there about. He was a native of Germany and leaves no family or relatives in this cOdntry. Though not a success full man in point of accommodating wealth, he was a jovial good natured person and was universally liked. For a great many years he was secretary of the Odd Fellows lodge in Tempe.
 Probably the best friend Mir. Butzer ever had was F. G. Frankenburg of Tempe. Both were pioneers in that section, both were farmers, an occu- patton generally supposed to be less hazardous than any other, and both were leading members in the odd Eel lows lodge of Tempe. Only a few years ago Mir Frankenburg was kicked and dragged to death by a horse and now MT. Butzer dies even more suddenly and at a moment when. a tragedy would least be expected.
