tunitv to advertise their resources IL
one they cannot very well AFFORD 10

Il is certain that thousands of visit
ors who will come to Salt Lake for the
fair viii be interested in the displays
from other states SO Interested, indeed,
that they will not be satisfied to re-
turn to their homes without visiting
those states. in order TO see for them
selves whether or not the alurements
set forth in the exhibits can be veriled

YOUNG JOHNS PEssimIsM.

For a young man of so much prom
ineucc IN church work. John ID. Rookie
Teller, ST., is singularly pessimistic. He
said the other day in a talk to his sun
day school class: II suppose that OF
every two men who so into politics, one
goes. not for what he can DO for his
fellow man, but Tor what he can get out
Of politics Yes, l should say that four

money they can get out OF it for them

WAS WISE.

The names Of the couple are lacking.
The mans name is unimportant, but
the name of the woman should be made
known, because she was equal 70 an
apparent emergency. It happened. ac-
cording to 4 story that is going the
rounds, in Mecklenburg, Germany. To
The registrar in a small town there
came one day a man and a woman who
declared their desire 10 be made one in
The bonds OF matrimony. The regis
jrar. proceeding with the ceremony,
asked the man il he would take the
woman for better and for worse.
Great was his establishment when the
man requested time 70 think the matter
over. The fellow retired 20 a private
room and. It is presumed, thought he
thought for about an hour. When he
came back he answered the question in
The affirmative. Then came the turn
of the bride. Her answer was:
NO. I can't accept such a weather
cock. weak-willed individual as hus-
band" The ceremony was thereupon
declared off and the chances are that
f. viii never be performed Tor this
couple.
Don't YOU think the woman was
right? The man might have changed
his mind again an hour after the cere-
moay. Taere could be no happiness for
Deer ia such a union. even though the
husband remained steadfast, for she
would always be haunted BY the fear
that he migbt change his mind. And,
agaia. she might be haunted by the feac
that he would not change, after living
With him Cor q year 0r so.

nine ont or ten of our officials, or even
a majority Of them, are dishonest.
Plenty OF men make an honest living
out OF political ofElce-h holding. Plenty
Of them 50 into office in the hope Of
hrtteriRg themselves financially, be-
cause the salary attached 10 tho ONCE
they seek is better than they are earn
ng in private life. This does not pre-
Vent them from making rrst-clnss Off
GERS. or n'om looking jealousy after the
welfare OF the people.
The tact tat a man is in politics is
by no means prima facie evidence that
he is dishonest. One can be just as
straightforward in politics as in busi-
ness. We are not so Pessinlistic as to
believe that the percentage OF dishol~
esty in politics IS a bit higher than the
percentage of dishonesty in private life.
The difference IS that more fuss is
made over the case Of the man who
robs city or q state than over a man
who robs widows and orphans. If there
IS degree in such crimes the latter Is
the more culpable.

GREAT eRlTAlN,s CAMPAIGN.

The announcement that Lord Curzon
viii stand for a conservative constiIu
ency in London is one of the most sig
nifcant things in recent British poll
ties. Lord Curzon was one of the most
brilliant administrators as viceroy Of
India the empire has ev1 known. \
conservative. he was indu ed by the
Balfour ministry to extend his term OF
service in India after he wished TO re-
tire but in a conflict with Lord Kitch-
ener, as TO the Capitalization OF army
control, the cabinet forced Curzon' ;
resignation by unfolding Kitchener. It
may be taken for granted, therefore,
that although Lord Curzon is a con-
servative, he will not be in favor with
the Balfour wing OF the party.
Confirmation Of this conclusion may
be found IN the stress laid upon the
fact that the former viceroy is free
trader. while the drift Of the Bal1our
conservatives IS toward some form OF
retaliatory protective tariff scheme
along the general lines suggested by
Joseph Chamberlain, though probably
less radical
In the event OF q sharp line Of de-
marcaion on the tariff question. Cur
ION would inevitably ind himself
aligned with the liberals. though it IS
not TO be supposed ne would make an
alliance with them on such matters as
home rule, foreign policy or other dis
tinctive party questions.
Al the Indications point 10 a harS
battle I'm the campaign which viii open
next week. and The battle viii empha-
size the fact that the fiscal question
must ultimately result il new align
ment oC political forces in The empire,
since neither the conservative nor lib
eral organizations are wholly harmoai-
Gus on this question, and both are har-
rled by factions which have no hope

COCHRAN ON INSURANCE.

Inc statement by Bourke Cochran in
The house Friday that within his mem
ory the big three companies in the
life Insurance field had amassed a bill
lion and quarter OF dollars, and thaC
DC would not be q generation, at the
present rate. before they accumulated
i've billions more, is striking. but not
unreasonable. The power accompany
ing SO vast an aggregation of capital
would he tremendous; there is no way
OF accurately measuring its extent.
It might be gotten at approximately
10y measuring the present power Of the
companies and multiplying the result
by six, which would be sufficient to
demonstrate to all OF Us that the power
would he too great for a few men TO
WELD. IL any guarantee could be given
that the policy holders would have a
voice III the distribution of the profits,
If they could say what disposition
should be made of the money. their
money. one might look with composure
upon the possibility Of the prodigious
accumulation suggested by Mr.. Cock
ran.
The testimony before the Insurance
investigation committee shows, how
ever, that the few men ia charge have
not treated the funds as trust funds.
While it has not been demonstrated
that larceny has been committed in
the sense that the insurance mag
mates have taken money from their
companies treasures and uut il INFO
their own pockets, it has heen known
that they have been guilty of save
breaches Of ethics. We instance the
purchase of securities from a COM
pzny on one day and the selling of the
same securities back 10 the SAM COM
pany al an increase price the next day,
or the next day but one.
The law, unfortunately, does not re-
sard such a proceeding as larceny but
in the opinion of honest .len It vegy
closely approaches that offense. How
can we put an end to such proceedings?
Nj Cochran points out that the meth
DDS of ceorganizing the companies, in
sofar IS reorsa lizs,ticn has bee. ac-
complshed. may prove TO be a leap
from the frying pan INTO the thick Of
The red-hot Goals. The New Ye'k con-
gressman expressed the belief that con-
sress would be compelled to enact leg
islation placing Insurance under feleIal
supervision.

! ANE NOT A DEMOCRAT.

some opposition has been developed
in the senate 10 confirming the nom
ination Of Franklin Lane OF California
TO place on the interstate commerce
commission. TIE objection is based oa
the ground that Mr.. Lane IS L Demo-
GRAFT Now it is a generally recognized
understanding. and it may be q part Of
the law under which the Interstate
commerce commission was created,
that there shall be Democratic repre-
seutatiou on the board.
However. the Democratic mem5er OF
the senate would have ample grounds
for Directing TO Lane il he is appoint
ed as a Democrat. It was stated some
time ago. aGd not denied. that Lane
voted for Roosevelt in 1904. The lam
guage was: Mr.. Lane. though a Dem
Ocrat, voted for President Roosevelt"
IF that is true, AR. Lane is about as
coed q Democrat rs William Jennings
Bryan is o. Republican. Where IS the
line Of demarkation between the parties
10 be drGWn2
Can a Democrat vote for Il Republi-
can candidate for the presidency of the
United States and remain a Democrat
To answer in the affirmative would
seem TO make the one giving the an
swer guilty Of an absurdity. If there
is ever a time when man, voting for
a candidate who represents the oppo-
site OF the principles for which he has
been voting, may be said to leave his
party, that time arrives When he votes
Tor Nhe opposing candidate for the pres
idenAr. There is no getting away from
the Tact that 4 man. temporarily, at
least. abaudons his party when he
takes such a step.
We can understand how. in a purely
local election, u Republican can vote
the Democratic ticket. and vote it
straight, without, nationally speaking,
losing his party standing. Many thou
sands OF Republicans voted against the
regular nominees Of their party III
Philadelphia last month. but nobody
viii argue that thereby they ceased 10
be Republicans. At least We do not a.
yet hope that Pennsylvania win go
Democratic in the next presidential
election.
Certainly. though no man who voted
for Mr.. Roosevelt for president has q
right TO be appointed by Nj, Roose-
Welt to office as a Democrat. lie is not
d Democrat at all, but a Republican
for if he had not endorsed Republican
principles he would not have voted FOR
Roosevelt.
