The inference from this is that the
Advertiser thinks if he were an office
holder he would be against the pro-

committees and conventions. AS about
the only Republicans who share the
views on this office-hold-

themselves, the logical deduction is
that in the Advertisers estimate, Lor-

oppose the rule do so because they

Head Charlie" is really more i'm
portant parsonage in the life of the
community, than some who are much
more obtrusive. Day and night
throughout the year, he is on duty, ever
alert to catch the distant smoke or sail
pricking the horizon, or the light that
marks where sea and sky merge when
night is on. For these are the signals
that tell of the approach of ships. To
his far sighted vision, his unerring
ability to distinguish what the vessels
name is while yet TO the unaccustomed
eye she would be either indistinguish-
able or a mere blur against the sky
line, are due the fact that hours be-
fore a vessel reaches the harbor, all
who are interested may know that she
is coming. Without this service how
many things in the daily life of this
community, dependent for its transit

The reports of the Smoot investiga-
ton before the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections which are be-
ing published in the Star, are intense
ly interesting. They seem to show
conclusively, that the Mormon church
controls politics in Utah. This is a
fact that is openly talked of in Utah
both by Mormons and Gentiles. Sem
ator Kearns recognized this so tho
roughly last fail that he withdrew from
the Republican party of the state,
which the Mormons control, still MAIN
tanning his fealty to the National Re-
publican Party, and organized what IS
called the American party. This is
in reality a Gentle party, and it is be-
lieved that it will receive recruits in
large numbers from the Democratic
party i'm the municipal elections in the
spring and that it will elect the Mayor
of Salt Lake City, and perhaps of some
Of the other big towns of the state, 1t
is hard to tell just what effect the in
vestigation may have on the question
of whether Smoot shall be allowed to
retain his seat in the Senate, but it
seems altogether probable that it may
have the effect Of arousing a wide
spread feeling against the political and
alleged polygamous practices of the
Mormons which may lead to some le-
gislation or attempted legislation as
drastic as the Edmunds law was in its
time.

In the Columbia Herald last

say of the political situation in
Missouri: Il am in favor of Mis-

old gaay haired farmer the other
day, but | am also in favor of
Missouri going honest" There's
the condition pOlitally in a nut
shell. The old farmer is the type
Of a great mass of MissOurians to-
day. They do not understand all
the fine technicalities by which
this or that scamp goes unwhipt of
justice, They do not stop to
pass upon the reasons why this or
that plank should be put in the
party plat form II this or that man
upon the party ticket. With rest
lessness that cannot be allayed by
ordinary methods they are demand
ing a platform Of common honesty
and a ticket composed of men
whose characters do not require
bolstering. 1t may be argued with
much and admirable logic, that
this should not be so, that there
is no need for such feeling among
the common people. The argu-
ment, however, butts itself to
pieces against the stone wall of
the act ual conditions.

The pOstofficc department at
Washington before which grave
charges may have been preferred
against n subordinate suspends
judgment against such accused to
await the action of a secret order
at home--if such accused happens
to belong to either the Masonic or
Odd Fellows orders. We know of
a case in point. Waiting for the
evidence of evidence-that's all
they get when they get it from Il
secret order. In our humble opin-
ion the government is wrong in
this. If they have the evidence
let the accused be bounced at once;
if the evidence is insufficient, let
there be vindication at once. Let
the public be protected. Any other
course is un.American and un.
democratic.
