thing too.

BOTklN GETS A CoNSULSHIP.

Judge Theodosius Botkin, for many
years an ardent worker in the ranks
of the Republican party. a resident of
this state for some time, and one of
the best campaigners in it, is about to
be appointed to consulship, if reports
are correct. The post to which he will
be assigned is what was known to the
last generation as the Isle of France,
and it is located in the Indian ocean,
near the equator, and about 500 miles
east of Madagascar. The island is
British dependency, and has popula-
ton of about 10000 people, of which
part are English, part Irish, part
Scotch, and part Portuguese, with
smattering of French and few of the
old natives. The climate is said to be
excellent. The cost of living is cheap,
and although the place is far away it
is in the track of steamers through the
Suez canal and Judge Botkin will get
his Truth regular once per week, only
it will be a few weeks old after arri-
val.
The salary and emoluments of the
Office are good, and a man can live
comfortably and save little some
thing.
Judge Botkin Is well qualified for
the duties Of the place, and it is in
deed high time he was rewarded for
party fidelity. He has been a rustler
and hustler for. a long time without
recognition. He is veteran of the
civil war, and when the Spanish-Amer
lean conflict broke out enlisted again
and was rewarded by being appointed
assistant adjutant general of volun
teers with the rank of major He
served a term on the Kansas bench
with distinction and was at one time
department commander of the G. A. r.
of that state, besides serving term or
two in the legislature. Senator Suth-
erland was asked to name a man for
the place, and he selected Judge Bot
kin. We congratulate the senator on
his choice.

TRUTHS.


Not being in harmony with President
Kerr, and the Logan Republican, it is
high time for Governor Cutler to hand
in his resignation
Master Kerr says, Pop has his
hands on the politics of Cache county"
The people have been led to believe
right along that President Kerr was
out of politics. Kerr's record is being
shown up and the people realize now
how they have been fooled.
1t is reported that President Kerr
stated to prominent official that he
took no part in the last campaign, and
has kept out of politics. To leading
Republican he stated that he had done
all consistently in his power to elect
Governor Cutler. 1t is now up to Jim
Moyle and his friends to state what
Kerr said he did for them.
The Logan Republican says that it
Is understood that Governor Cutters
policy for the Agricultural college is
not in harmony with President Kerrs
We believe it states the truth. The
want what they are paying for. The
governor wants an Agricultural college
at Logan, and not third-class univer.
sity. We predict that he will have one
before his term expires.
The trustees of the Agricultural col
lege should place Professor Widtsoe
at the head of that institution. Prof
Widtsoe is one of the best informed
men in the United States on scientific
agriculture. His name at the head of
the Agricultural college would be
guarantee to the people of not only this
state, but the surrounding states, that
we not only had an Agricultural col
lege in name, but in fact. If Mr. Widt-
soc had control of the Agricultural col
!ege, but very little friction, if any,
would exist between that institution
and the State University. Mr.. Widtsoe
should be elected at once.
The trouble with our state educa-
tional institutions is that local differ
ences and jealousies are allowed to
enter them. The public should remem-
Der that the University of Utah is a
state institution, and not Salt Lake
county one; that the Agricultural col
lege belongs to the state and not to
Cache county. The makeup of the
boards of these two institutions is
wrong. Too many members from Salt
Lake county are on the board of re-
gents of the university, and too many
trustees of the Agricultural college are
from Cache county. The governor
should see in the future that this evil
is remedied and the principal sections
of the state represented. This would
have a tendency to serve a notice on
some people in Salt Lake and Cache
counties that these institutions still be-
long to the state.

The Logan Republican states that
Representative Roberts is against Mr..
Kerr. We are pleased to hear this.
Mr.. Roberts, while in the legislature.
was looked upon as one of the brain

tural college has no better or stronger
friend. Mr.. Roberts being against Mr..
Kerr is guarantee that a change
college. 1t is hard to tell which Rob-
erts thinks the most of, his wife or
the Agricultural college.
Ex-senator Cannon and Senator Du-
bois have not been heard of lately.
When Frank and Fred get together
they generally wind up in the hospital
for repairs. If Mother Schoff has taken
pains to follow the actions of that
precious pair for the past week, she
unquestiOnably has material enough
gathered for year to lecture on tenn
perance and the purity of the home.
1t is rumored that Frank Cannon re-
ceived $4,000 lately from the w. c. I.
u. for the Tribune. We have not heard
of Lippman receiving the money. BY
the way, what a glorious time Cannon
and Dubois can have on that amount.
Ye Gods! to think of this money be-
ing subscribed in the interest of tenn
perance and the purity of the home!.
The Logan Republican is seeing
ghosts again. and is accusing the uni
versity people of having Interior mo.
tives in trying to get the central sta
ton located colse to Salt Lake. 1t
claims 1t is a design to steal the Agri-
cultural college from Logan. The fact
is that majority of the people of Salt
Lake want the college to remain where
it is. All they want along with the
people of the state is that the college
now at Logan be made what it was de-
signed for, an AGRICULTURAL col
lege, and that an agricultural expert be
put at it's head and not politician.
A number of Salt Lake people have
quit visiting Provo since Postmaster
Glove testified to treating Peltier to
lemonade. 1t was a custom of Jim's
in the past to get three or four high
balls down his visitors so they could
more clearly see the wonderful freak
of nature "The Lady of the Valley"
laying stretched out on the Provo |
Truth does not take Jim's |
testimony seriously. Jim being on to |
his job, sized up Peltier. The proof of |
this is that we fail to find in Jim's tes- |
timony any account of loan.

IS DRUNKENNESS A CRIME?

Such crime, against society that the laws
of the land should classify the drunkard with
other criminals?
This is at present a live question and
the public will, in all probability, for time
at least, neglect the question of prohibition and
the punishment of the liquor seller to give at
tention to the consumer. There are people who
believe that the drunkard is the real criminal.
That he ought not to shock the senslbllltles OF
the more sober and virtuous men, women and
children with whom he comes in contact, that
he should not profane the public highways with
his reeings and staggering;muttering and slut
tering vile language and vomit
There are people who believe that man has
no right to go home to his wife delirious and
distracted from the indulgence of piggish ap-
petite, sputter and spew in the presence OF his
children who must realize that the parent is for
the time, little better than hog.
Yes there is tendency to examine this new
phase of the question to if there is not bet
ter remedy for the drunk habit than prohibition
and the prosecution of the dope dealers.
The last session of the legislature set the
pace, by making drunkenness in public crime.
Representative Wilcox, of Irwin, failed to
get either of his prohibition bills through the
general assemb1y-that fixing the liquor license
of Irwin at $4,000 and the one repeating the

We predict that the mud singers in the

error of their tacticts, will soon abandon that

naming twelve months of the campaign will be
more decently conducted. Nothing that has
been said about the $4,000 loan, the Piedmont
bar or Mr.. Smiths promises to Guerry has lost
him single vote. To the contrary, it has ex-
cited the resentment of the fair minded people

and then repeat it some more, to be told at last
that he would not be wanted as witness in that
particular case in which he never had any inter-
est and about which he never knew anything to

This Office has but one kick on the selection
of new counties. Fitzgerald should have had
one of them. From any point of reasoning it
seems to us that they would compare favorably
with anv of the applicants. We trust that the
vein of pessimism now coursing through the
mind of the genial editor of the Fitzgerald En-
terprise will soon vanish to be replaced by
genial spirit and love for his fellow man. Real
ling as he did the merit of his claim and the
needs of his people it was a severe dsappoint-
