for much of this additional dam

the water was several inches high

also much more property in the

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has

PEELED the silly notion" that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, AID still all
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular

LEST WE FORGET.

We grant to republicans the right,
if they see IL that way, to object to
Mr.. Shoots activity, but can our
democratic brethren rail against him
with any degree OF consistency? Who
was 1t pray, that nominated the Hon.
b. II. Roberts and elected him? Was
il not the democratic party? Was
not Mr.. Roberts at that time one OF
the Seventies, OF the same priesthood
OF the twelve apostlesY Was not Mr..
Roberts at that time an acknowledged
violator of the civil law? Was 1t not
known at that time that II elected he
could not retain his seat? Was 1t not
known that his election would bring
trouble to the state Of Utah? Was 1t
not known that it was the wrong
move to elect him, and yet for the
mere sake of winning did not the
democratic party elect him?
The democratic newspapers and
orators harp today about the igno'
miny shame, scorn and trouble Hon.
Reed Smoot has brought upon the
people? Is IT more than the demo
cratic party brought to the state In
the election of b. II. Roberts?
Who was it voters, that sought to
elevate Apostle Moses Thatcher into
the senatorship? Was it not the
democratic party? Is it not true that
Hon. Moses Thatcher, as an apostle, had
hold upon the people such as few &c.
cleiasts ever had? Is it not generally
acknowledged today that he used his
influence as freely as any other ecclcs.
last that can be named?
Where then, voters, has the demo.
cratic party room to raise its voice
against Reed Smoot? What is it they
are doing it for? Nothing other than
to catch the votes of men who may
have forgotten. If "Smootism" is
bad can voters hope to find salvation
in the democratic party? Most as.
suredly not, if we may take the past
record of that party.

Granting that there is truth in Mr..
Thoreson's statement to the effect
that the books OF every other county
are not kept better than they were
under democratic administration in
this county, does that have a bearing
on Cache County affairs? The law
requires certain things, and when
those requirements are not filed, the
man who through incompetency or
willful disposition fails to comply is
certainly guilty, even though nine
tenths Of the world does likewise
Because Others are guilty of wrong
doing does that excuse any one who
knows his duty but fails to perform it?

4 DEMiGOGTE,

In his wild TRADE before the Demo-
cratic convention Saturday, temporary
chairman |. c. Thoreson went so far
as to say that the books of this county
er democratic administration
would compare favorably with the
records in any other county in the
State. This statement is not merely
ridiculous, it is insane.
Has Mr., Thoreson any evidence or
any knowledge that the books OF any
other county are not kept as they
should be? Does he know that present
officials in other counties are trying to
cover up the shortages of officials be-
fore them? If he has such knowledge,
as an honorable citizen, is he not in
duty bound to give that knowledge to
the proper officials that the guilty
may be punished and the records set
straight? If he has no such know
ledge and makes such statements is he
not as dishonest as any man who will
steal money, falsify records, or cover
up carelessness, incompetency and pos
sible corruption in office?
II Is to be doubted whether Mr..
Thoreson really took into considera-
ton the import Of his words. BY his
statement he StigmatiZed and malign-
ed the officials of twcnty-seven coun-
ties in Utah. He accused them Of be-
ing guilty of everything that the re.
cent audit and trial Of a deputy dis
closed in this county. He virtually
said that there are twenty-seven men
in as many counties who should be
sent to the penitentiary. His words
meant this and further, that there is
in every county concert Of action or
the part Of present officials TO cover up
acknowledged shortages of former Of
ticialS. This is mean, low, vile, dirty
beneath the dignity of any man who
is as big as Mr.. Thorcson thinks he Il
and should be.
Does Mr.. Thoreson mean to init
mate for a single second that he
honestly believes there was nothing
wrong with the court house records
that the disgraceful disclosures had nc
foundation? That the person who
was sent to the penitentiary could
have done what he is said to have
done if the head officials had been a.
competent and decisive as they should
have bcenY Does he dare intimate
that democratic officials have not &C,
ccpted from former dcmocraticO officials
books that did not balance? Does Mr..
Thorcson believe that democratic Of
tcials have not carried shortages of
other officials and sought to keep the
knowledge of the discrepancy coming
to light? II MI ThorcSon believes
these things then he believes what
the actual evidence completely dis.
proves.

EI-GOV. HOGG TALKS.

| have been rouudly abused by the

about speech l made at Houston
during the Houston convention. /
was not pleased with Judge Parker's
attitude at the st. Louis convention,
and so expressed myself in that speech
He has carefully prepared and deliver
ed this speech of acceptance, and l
submit that he nowhere pledges him
self to favor the enforcement OF law
against the trusts, and that he will
encourage and support the building Of
the great Panama canal. He tells us
that tariff laws cannot be modified
during the next four years because the
Senate is and will continue to be re-
publican, at the same time he informs
us that the most effective remedy by
which to destroy the trusts is by
changing these laws. AS he nowhere
promises to further enforce the Unit
ed States law under which the North
ern securities company and other
trusts were dissolved, then logically
we could have but little hopes of the
trusts being disturbed under his ad-
ministration in view Of his statement
that the effective remedy is to change
the tariff laws, and that this cannot
be done because the Senate will re-
main republican for the next four
years.
| do not catch the point wherein he
denounccs the mobs in different parts
of our beloved country, for the COM
mission OF such crimes are beyond fed
eral legislation and are subject to be
dealt with by the states only in which
they occur. However, am glad that
he abuses mobs, as every other citizen
should do. but, to say the least, it
looks ungraceful in speech OF this
bind

WHY, OH WHY!

Why is it, neither democratic news
papers or orators have single word
to say about Frank j. Cannon's
alliance with the American party?
The Herald has said nothing about it.
the local organ Of opposition has no
unkind thing to say and Judge Pow
ers didn't mention 1t. Frank ]. Can
non was the democratic state leader, a
man whom the members of that
party swore by; his paper, the Utah
State Journal, was the hottest demo-
cratic organ In the state. Why is 1t
that his turn to the American party
excites no comment on the part Of his
brethren left in the lurch? Is II be-
cause this is part OF a pre-arrangcd
plan? Did the democratic party set
apart Mr.. Cannon to Gil this mission?
Is all this silence because the demo-
Gratis believe that Mr.. Cannon in the
American party can do the democratic
party more good than as a member OF
the democratic party? Everything
goes to prove that this is the proper
view Of the matter. The democratic
papers would probably like to rejoice
over this flop of Franks, but of
course they can not do that.
Republicans should think Of this
matter, also that of the demagogical
utterances about Smootism, and then
stick together as they never did be-
fore. A vote for the democratic party
means nothing more than a vote for
the very principles you have always
fought. The democrats are not out
to erase from Utah politics any in
fiuence they claim is wrong-they are
merely out to win by any scheme that
presents itself.

A PROVO HOT BLAST.

The Provo Enquirer says OF Judge
0. w. Powers, democratic nomi-
nee for Congress: Orlando Pow
ers, once the leader Of the old Lib
eral party, now seeks the vot-
es of the people he so bitterly fought
in days gone by. He threatens, in his
speech in the democratic convention,
that IL they fail to elect him to Con-
gress Utah will have constitutional
amendment passed against 1t, not
withstanding the state normally Is
republican. In his great speech In
Sundays Herald he again consumes
about seven columns IN covert threats,
that If a republican state does not
elect him, a democrat, as its repre-
sentative, ne will 90 back to the old
Liberal party and cause all sorts or
evil to come upon the people. The
fight that Kearns and Dubois are
making Is an honorable one compared
to the threats and inuendoes that
their partner is making. For would
it tot be safer to know that serpeut
was going to make an attack on you
than to be compelled to hug one to
your breast to keep it from raising its
head to strike?
"The night before Judge Powers re-
ceived the democratic nomination for
Congress he was in consultation with
the leaders of the so-called American
party until after midnight. This in
formation comes from his official organ,
the Salt Lake Herald. II he was not
giving these leaders advice and help
ing them to plot for the new move.
ment, could he not have told them in
a few moments that he would have
nothing to do with it? But the con-
trary is suggested in all of his speech
es, If, indeed, reading between the
lines of his speech, as reported in the
Herald, does not go so far as to say
that the movement will have his open
support after election, provided he is
defeated"
