many automobiles are owned. We be-
lieve the great majority of auteme-
bile owners are entirely I'm sympathy
with the idea. A few inexperienced
drivers who fear they could net pass
the rigid test should not be permitted
to block the way Of this needed re-
form.
For ourselves, we think anybody, re-
gardless Of age, who can demonstrate
his ability to handle an automobile un-
der trying conditions of every sort
should be permitted to drive one. The
age limit lie not necessary. II a boy
shows himself to be competent, If he
can Stand the test required Of men, let
him have his machine. The automo-
bile is here to stay. 1t has amply dem
OnstTated its usefulness and its relia-
bility- But. as the Cleveland man says.
an automobile travelling at a rapid rate
is immensely more dangerous than a
stationary engine. Why require an ex-
animation for the operator Of the less
dangerous machine and permit the OPP
orator Of the more dangerous one to go
unexamined?
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-05-23
THE PROPER SPIRIT.

We commend the spirit of the Auto
mobile association Of Cleveland, o. It
is officially advocating the passage Of
an ordinance requiring the examination
of persons who drive automobiles, to
the end that the welfare and the safety
Of the public may be protected. 1t is
pleasant to see such a spirit among
men who own automobiles; it is spirit
that viii DO much to remove the popu-
lar prejudice against the horseless We
hicles- Discussing the measure a few
days ago in Automobile, Secretary
Goddard Of the Cleveland association
said, with much pertinency:
There is no question but what all
operators Of automobiles should be
compelled TO pass an examination be-
fore being allowed out on the street.
Every stationary engineer handling
even an isolated plant where there is
comparatively little danger to the gen
eTal public is compelled to pass a rigid
examination and to have his license
cOnspiCuOusly posted. An automobile
capable Of anywhere from thirty to six
~ miles an hour is immensely more
dangerous to the public than any sta
tionary engine. The examinations for
certificates to handle a machine should
not only insure that the operator is
thoroughly familiar with the handling
Of his machine, but a person who is
nearsighted, or even coIOr-blind. should
not be permitted to operate on the
streets. and no irresponsible minor or
child should be allowed TO handle A
machine unattended by an adult op-
orator.
A committee Of the association has
been instructed to draw up an ordi-
nance covering the points gone over by
Mr.. Goddard and there is every prob
ability that it viii be enacted into law.
A similar ordinance is needed in salt
Lake City. and in every city in which

FORCED CONTRIBUTIONS.

James A GOulden. general agent Of
a prominent life insurance company.
gave some interesting testimony before
the house judiciary committee Monday.
He said, among other things. that it
was worth anywhere from $50. 600 to
100000 a year to be q New York state
senator al Albany Mr. GouIden added
that most Of the money came from the
life insurance companies. Why did
they, or why do they, pay this money
to state senator's? Is it money honestly
earned or is it blacImail and bribery?
Mr.. Goulden apparently was trying
10 draw an Indictment against the New
York senate. He was successful in
this bat at the same time he drew an
Indictment against the insurance COM
panies. It is perfectly obvious to the
dullest comprehension that no state
senator can honestly earn 5000 to
100000 a year as a Iawmaker To get
that much money he must be bribed to
pass bills or to prevent the passage Of
bills. It is Just as obvious that no
man can be bribed unless somebody is
willing to bride him.
IN this case a representative of the
Insurance companies SAYS almost i'm so
many words that they are guilty. II
Mr.. GOuIden speaks the truth. and
there are abundant reasons for belfev-
ing he does. he has not told enough de
tails by a good deal He should be re-
quired to go into particulars. to give
names and dates and such other facts
as would aid in the conviction and pun
ishment of both the men who are bribed
and the men who give the brides.
Mr.. GouIden also told that his com
Pany was forced to give $4,000 to a ma
tionaI campaign fund in 1896. He did
not say which of the national commit
tees sandbagged him, nor did he ex-
plain why he considered it necessary
to permit the hoId-up. Nobody viii
need more than one guess as to the
identity of the party that got the mon
ey. The insurance companies and the
corpora tons were not giving up any
thing in 1896 TO help Bryan. Mark
Hanna went among them and fright
ened them out Of their boots, or rather,
out of their money. by painting in SOM
berest colors the effects Bryan's cleo
ton would have on their assets
The general agent might just as well
have said the Republican committee re-
ceived his $4,000. for that committee
certainly did receive it. No other the
Org is possible. But the gift was not
more reprehensible on that account
We identify the party merely TO keep
the record clear.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-05-23

had been steadily beaten back. Stoes-
sci has as much right te complain as
KUropatkin.
If KUTopatkin had defeated Oyama in
Jig time. as he was expected to do, he
could have sent his army against Nogi
and so relieved Port Arthur. 1t is diff
ficult, therefore, to see how anything
can be gained at this time by a quar-
rel among the generals. And it seems
unfair to make a scapegoat of SteesseI,
1t is not at all probable though, that
he VIII really be executed, in spite Of
the death sentence said to have been
passed upon him. The chances are de-
cIdedIy that the sentence viii be CON-
muted to Imprisonment by the car, at
most, and he may be pardoned.
The case Of NebOgatoff is Of a diff
ferent color. He displayed gross in
competence in the handling of his ships,
and he surrendered some vessels that
were entirely capable OF fighting. II a
japanese admiral and Japanese crews
had been on the NegOgator ships the
story Of the battle Of the Sea Of Japan
might have had a different ending. At
any rate the Japs would never have
surrendered. They would have gone TO
the bottom Of the sea with their coIors
flying and every able bodied man at his
station.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-05-23
eToEssgL IS CONDEMNED.

dispatch sent out from St. Peters
burg says it is rumored there that the
Court-martiaI that has been investigat-
ing the surrender of Port Arthur and
the battle of the Sea Of Japan has con-
demned Lieutenant General StoesseI
and Rear-Admiral Nebogatoff to death.
1t would not be surprising if the rUmor
should be confirmed. Even at this late
day the bureaUcrats may consider it
necessary to find scapegOats. IN the
case Of StoesseI, at least, the finding
seems unjust, II We may believe the
contemporary accounts Of Port Arthur's
fall.
II is true that within week after
the surrender IL was rumOred that the
defence was incompetent, that there
was no real necessity for yielding. Yet
the weight Of testimony was in Stoes-
sells favor. The correspondents, OF
many Of them, showed that StOesseI
made d great fight. The JaDs ham
nered IN force at Port Arthur for many
weary. bloody months before they took
It And when the conquering army
walked into the citadel it found moth
ing but ruins. There was every indi-
cation that. & good fight had been
fought
Kuropatkin was indignant over the
fall OF Port Arthur. He claimed that
he could have whipped the Japs under
Oyama When the NOgf army that had
hear7 hesiaging Port Arthur Was re-
leased for the reinforcement Of Oyama
Kuropatkin was powerless. Whether or
not Kuropatkin could have beaten Oya-
ma VII always be an open question
Certainly he had not made much prog
ress ia that line. on the contrary he
