STARTING A BACKFIRE.

IL Is a custom for people whose prop
erty is in danger from a prairie or a
forest fire to start what is known as a
backf1fe. A similar custom is used by
some politicians. When the attention
of the public has been attracted to
their misdeeds they Immediately begin
an uproar about something the other
fellow has done or has not done And
the dear public is often thereby lulled
into. forgetfulness of the original Of
Tense, 1t is an old, old game.
The Reed SmOOt machine is trying it
in Utah just now. Because it was dis
covered that the machine was endeav-
oring TO influence judicial decisions, 20
force judges TO decide certain cases in
certain ways for political reasons, ar
effort is reported TO be under way to
Gust some anti-machine councilmen in
Salt Lake City, it being asserted that
if it was wrong for Ogden councilmen
TO accept from the city money i'm addi-
ton to their prescribed salaries it is
also wrong for Salt Lake councilmen to
do SO. Now, The Herald would not be
sorry 10 have the question brought to
an issue.
In Salt Lake the councilmen worked
under an ordinance specifically provid-
ing for extra compensation for them for
special work. The legality of that or
dinance has not been tested in the
dinance If the Smoot machine wants
10 make a test 1t can have that privil-
eye, but will the throwing out of any
Salt Lake cOuncilmen lessen the Of
Tense of which United States Marshal
Spry and Attorney General Breeder of
the Smoot machine are admittedly gull
~? If the courts should decide that the
ordinance that constituted the authori-
~ Of the local cOuncilmen to pay them
selves extra compensation is unconsti-
tutional and void, will the Smootites
contend that it was right for Spry and
Breeder to attempt to force a judge to
decide case in accordance with their
wishes?
1t is perfectly obvious that the con-
tention a about the Salt Lake council was
raised for the purpose of beclouding
the real issue. That issue, however, is
too grave 10 be lightly passed over or
forgotten. 1t cannot be regarded as
settled until the men who are response
BILE for it have been made TO suffer for
their act Any other course would in
evitably foster in the minds of the peo-
PIE a contempt and disrespect for the
states judiciary. If the judge ap-
preached by Breeder and Spry had
been amenabe to political influence
nothing would have been heard of the
case.
The people can be pardoned if they
now desire to know whether or not
other judges have been approached,
and whether or not the threats of the
machine were needed by them. No po-
ltical machine that hampers with the
judiciary can or will be tolerated. If
Spry and Breeder escape immediate
punishment the people can be depended
upon 10 punish them at the earliest
possible opportunity. They can be de-
pended upon to smash the machine into
a wreck so hopeless that it can never

The Palace Hotel. the rear of which
was constantly threatened, was the
scene of much excitement, the guests
leaving in haste, many only with the
clothing they wore. Finding that the
hotel being surrounded on all sides
by streets, was likely to remain i'm
mune, many returned and made ar
rangements for the removal Of their

Massive Walls Stand.
The Parrot building, in which were

devoted to an immense department
store, was ruined, though its massive
walls were not all destroyed. A little
further down Market street the Acad-

kindled and burned like finder. Sparks
carried across the wide street ignited
the Phelan building, and the army
headquarters Of the Department. of
California Cen Funston commanding,
were burned.
Still nearer the bay, the waters Of

The dense smoke that arose from
the entire business district spread out
like an immense funnel and could
have been seen for miles out at sea.
Occasionally as some drug store or
place stored with chemicals was reach

duced by the colored flames and
smoke which rolled up against the
darker back ground.
