4 SUCCESSFUL FAIR.

The most successful state fair ina the
history of the Deseret Agricultural s
Manufacturing Society came TO an end
last night. During the nearly thirty
years that the society has been I'm eX-
isteu,e il has given some splendid eX-
hjbtiOus. but not one of them APP
preached, when measured by any stand
ard of excellence, the display Of last
week. And the people showed their
appreciation by am attendance that sur
passed. both I'm numbers and I'm actual
paid admissions, the great record Of
last year. which was the state fairs
high-water maFk.
The directors of the society merit
congratulations upon the happy out
come OF their labors. Special cOngrat-
ulati0us are due 10 President J. G.. Nc
Donald. 10 Director Lester Freed, 10
Acting Secretary Bateman and to As
sistaut Secretary Stevenson. For many
weeks Mr.. Mcdonald and Mr.. Freed
have utterly neglected their private
business in order that they might de-
vote their entire time TO state fair bust
ness. They went about their labors in
tcIigeutly, enthusiastically and with
ont hope of reward other than the JOY
of doing a duty wen.
I'm their work they were given the
earnest assistance of all of the othersdi-
rectors, of whom there are twelve, but
none Of the rest gave TO the fair. al
though they would have liked much TO
do so, the time given to it by Mr.. Nc
Donald aud Mr.. Freed. Business en-
gagements Of an unavoidable nature
complications of various kinds prevent
ed many of the directors from doing
much of the work, but they felt that
the interests Of the fair were more than
safe in the hands of the gentlemen
named.
MIR. Bateman went into the secre-
tary's Office under difficulties. The reg
uIar secretary. j. f. Cox. was stricken
with typhoid fever just two weeks be-
fore the opening of the fair He had
worked very hard and to his efforts
his illness was. in large measure, due.
Mr.. Bateman, with the assistance of
Mr.. stevenson, had the task of gather
ing the bolts and wheels together and
keeping the machinery running smooth
". How well the work was done is evil
denced by the frequent expressions of
approval BY exhibitors and visitors.
But the fair could not have beel the
success Il has been IL the public geEer-
ally had not responded heartily. And
the public has. after ALI been the gain
2, by that response. We know more
about the resources and the possihiu-
ties of Utah today than we knew
week ago.

AS TO CHIEF LYNCH.

We had hoped to be able 10 announce
this morning the retirement of William
J. Lynch as chief of police or as can
didate for mayor. The chief, however
having hitched his wagon TO a (police-
mans star, seems determined to stay
hitched. Every day since last Tuesday
when the chief was nominated, we have
waited hopefully for his resignation
from the Office he now holds. He has
been given every chance TO get out. but
he lacks the fine perception of political
ethics that we freely granted him ia
the beginning.
Chief Lynch is apparently as uufa-
miliar with the nicer shades of ethics as
a Berkshire is with dress shirt Does
he prefer an application of the execu-
tive boot? Seemingly he does, for he
permits the shadow of the boot TO creep
ever closer TO him. And it would be IA
pity, too. for a candidate for the high
Office of mayor of Salt Lake City to be
ANONYMOUSLY kicked out of his place in
the midst of d campaign. The chief has
little regard for his party if he is Will
ing to permit such a thing.
And if Mayor Morris permits Lynch
TO stay on as chief of police the police
man-candidate win stiI put his party
in a bad attitude Nothing can prevent
the inference that Chief Lynch hopes
10 make use of his position to secure
votes among those with whom he comes
in most frequent contact. II he does he
Will find to his cost when the votes are
counted that the disorderiy element
does not control elections in Salt Lake
City.
one other point to which reference
is proper at this time is Chief Lynchs
remarkable disregard of the fact that
partmeut, If Mayor Morris had been
Of contrary opinion Lynch would
have been dismissed long since and his
place given To man of the mayors
political faith. There has not been a
time i'm eighteen months that the mayor
could not have secured the councils
approval of an order discharging
Lynch.
Now Lynch, as far as outward ap-
pearances go. is attempting to make a
political machine out of the police de-
partment. He must not be permitted
to do so. If he does not possess enough
intelligence to understand the situation
he should be kicked out, and that not
gently.

HUGHES FOR MAYOR.

The statement made by one Of the
lawyers in the life Insurance investi-
CATION now going on in New York that
the chief attorney for the investigators,
Mr.. Hughes, was nominated by the Re
publicans for mayor OF New YORK N
order to secure for the Republican pal
~ the credit for the INVESTIGATION, IS
ridiculous. 4 far more likely theory is
that he was nominated I'm the hope of
takins The heart out Of the mvestiga-
ton. Tor Mr. Hughes has been its heart
aud soul
lie has not appeared as the repre-
sentative OF the Republican party, or
OF any party. lie has appeared for the
committee, anu through the committee
for the people. That he has been fear
less and able in directing The inquiry
will not be denied. Time and time
again he has had the big men OF the
insurance world squirming under the
lash OF his questions. Without malice,
actuated solely by a desire TO do his
duty. he has gone ever deeper and deep
cF toward the bottom Of the scandals
the investigation has disclosed.
If Mr.. Hughes consents TO lead the
forlorn Republican hope FOR the may
panies through their high representa-
lives would breathe a prolonged sigh
OF relief. They would far rather have
him campaigning over the length ana
breadth Of the nations metropolis than
sitting in that committee room boring
questions into the McCalls and McCur-
dys ana Perldnses. And nothing would
be more natural than the desire of the
Republicans 10 Withdraw Mr.. Hughes
frum the investigation.
They can be depended upon 10 spare
TO pains in bringing it about. In no
other way could the obligation due from
the party to the insurance companies
for their campaigu contributions be so
we'll acknowledged. The step would be
a confession of the party's recognition
OF benefits conferred and an expression
OF lively hope for future favors.
II MT Hughes is wise he will not
make the mayoralty race ON the Re
publican ticket just now. Instead, he
will stay with The great work he has
iH hand until il is finished 10 the last
detail Then, II he wants TO go before
the people for preferment he viii be
able to exhibit for their consideration
a record of work on their behalf we'll
done. and he will have just claim on
their attention.

session OF the new congress that goes
into Office the first Monday in Decem-
Der will the tariff be touched. That is
promising a good deal Mr. Mahon
may know whereof he speaks, and he
may not. but he advances a curious
reason for letting the tariff alone. He
says;
The fact is that you cannot patch
the tariff law. 1t is like pile of
bricks; if you move one, the whale pile
VIII topple over" And Mr.. Mahon
freely admits that there are many
voters in his district who would like
to see some changes made in the tariff.
Why is it impossible TO change any
part Of the tariff law without destroy
ing the whole law? It would be just
as reasonable to argue that because
tariff on diamonds is advisable so is a
tariff on quinine. There are many diff
ferent tariff schedules. II costs much
more TO import some articles than 1t
does TO import other articles. Does Mr..
Mahon believe there should be no dis
elimination. that every article should
be taxed TO exactly the same amount?
Surely he would not make such a con-
tention.
Yet it would not be more absurd than
his theory that if an attempt is made
TO revise the tariff the whole law viii
go to pieces. The statement was put
out for the purpose of frightening the
revisionists; it is the purest kind OF
political claptrap. we may be stupid,
but we cannot see how a reduction of
the duty on hides. for example, would
affect the duty ON silks; we fail to I'M
derstand how the duty-on lead would
be disturbed by the removal of the duty
on steel rails.
The truth is that the stand-patters,
of whom AIr. Mahon is a conspicuous
example, don't want any discussion
whatever of the tariff at the approach
ing session OF congress. and they are
not going to have any such discussion
if by fair means or foul it can be pre-
vented. There is much doubt. however,
as to the ability Of the stand-patters
to prevent discussion. A very consid-
cradle wing of the Republican party is
in favor Of tariff revision. The mem-
bers Of this wing are going 10 be heard
or they viii know the reason why be-
fore the next session of congress is
ended.

In the biography Of Edmunde Burke
there is a gap from the time when,
with his cash cut off by his father for
laZiness. he had TO stop the study of
law, until four years later he went
into the house OF commons TO win re-
nown. The young Irishman became a
clerk to d bookseller and an author
of a book that wouldn't sell: but what
else he did, or where he did ID. his
tOrians have never told. They have

us know that Edmund was a tutor in
the family of pepDeT-tempCred Lord
Nugent and a forbidden lover Of my

time, according to Sayre. Edmund was

and saucy. ready with repartee or
blade yet with a hrogue of doubtful
genuineness to so with those irish
characteristics. He was a few pounds
too heavy for youthful romance, and
a few years too old, but he sang like

not even the dainty English Mary

home can be more attractive and home
like than the farm house under the
hands of the skilful farmer and his
assistants. Then again, the farm Is
by far the better place on which TO

head of the family encourages all that

some fruits and vegetables can be

cannot be the case in the city usually,
because, when these products reach

Weather conditions during the past
two weeks throughout the northwest
have been rather unfavorable to vege-
tables, fruits and grains. The unus-
ually heavy rains in the west and
frosts in several sections did injury to
large part of the growing crops, but
the rains will probably be very bene-
fetal to grain of all kinds later on,
as there will be an abundant store OF
moisture in the soil when the weather
becomes dry and warm. While nearly
all crops have been greatly retarded,
except wheat and oats, gardens are
particularly backward. The frosts did
most damage on the low lands, while
on the high lands there was practi-
cally no injury. The spring wheat will
recover, but it is believed that the
frosted winter wheat was too far ad-
vanced to recover sufficiently to make
grain. However, the proportion of win
ter wheat in the districts where the
injury occurred was relatively small.
Hops are doing well. In the eastern
counties there were some high winds
that did damage to the orchards.
