Equal Rights for All.

Graft cannot be exterminated fully IN
til special privileges are done away with
and the doctrine of equal rights is recOg-
nized. 1t matters not whether this spe-
cial privilege be in the form Of tariff
so arranged as to foster monopoly or a
combination to control the prices of ne
cessities or rebates to favored shippers.
Whenever q class are given a special
privilege in any form whereby they can
prey upon the rest Of the people, that is
graft and should be stopped. Some spe-
ciaI interest is at the bottom Of every
graft.
elections has been shown to exist to an
amazing extent. 1t is yet not made pub
lie what other great concerns may have
done, but the recent insurance disclo-
sures furnished some startling informa-
ton as to the methods of these COM
panies. It is an established fact that
corporations are the chief cOrruptOrs of
public life. The creatures Of the state
have thus become the most dangerous
enemies Of the state. That something
must be done to protect representative
government from being thWaTted by the
r1inations of corporate influence is
manifest The honestly conducted cor
porations would have nothing to fear
from publication of their expenditures
reporting to the state their expenditures
with proper vouchers. 1t would then be
difficult to conceal the use of corporate
moneys for corrupt purposes.
IN securing d fSPt SSSAttettiFC sOFSt II
ment the influences of special interests
in legislative halls must be curtailed
The free railroad pass IS a prolific
breeder of corruption.
The nearer the government can be
brought to the people, the more repre-
sentative the government will be. The
United States senators are not elected
bv the people, and in many instances
instead of being senator's of the people
they are senators of some special in
terest When the peoples highest rep
resentatives in the national legislator,
are elected by the people these repre-
sentatives will more nearly reflect tn,
peoples will.

Trusts Defy the Laws.

The trust magnate defies the laws Of
the state against combinations and mo-
nopolies, and then calls for the protec-
ton Of the state for his property. The
dramshOp people want the law enforced
against the man who TObs his cash
drawer, but thinks he has a right to
break the law requiring his saloon TO
close on Sunday. The burglar detests
the aw-breaking of the trust, but con-
SiderS the statute against hOuSe-break-
ing as an interference with his per-
SOnal liberty. The bOOdleT has no use
for the pickpOcket, but thinks the stat
ute against bribery is blue law. Every
law looks blue to the man who wants
to break it. No government could long
exist where every man is his own law
maker.
One of the impediments to representa-
tive government through the law is the
idea that some have that ii Injuries a
state or city or nation to have expo
sureS of wrong doing No state can be
injured by the enforcement of law. No
nation can be hurt by exposing wrong
doing. either public or private. And If
any business is hurt by an investigation
it shows that something has been wrong
and that it should be hurt. There is no
secret remedy for evils OF this character.
They cannot be cured by hiding them
The disgrace is submitting to them by
indifference, not in their correction. The
distinguishing characteristic for the
movement of higher ideals in public life
and in private business is the conserva-
tism of the people. The people do not
oppose wealth; wealth in itself is bless
ing; but they do object to the abuse Of
wealth. They encourage legitimate in
dustry and are not unfriendly to corpor-
atoms that obey the law. but they de-
mand that corporations obey the law just
like anyone else. They object to corpOr-
ate Nominations in public affairs; they
object to government by any class.

Germany Is interested In keeping
France out OF Morocco. 1t Is point 4
out that II French influence became
paramount the country would soma day
become French. as was the fate of
Tunls In 1881. France commenced by
demanding the right to police that part
OF Africa, just as she is now asking
for the police power In Morocco. But
Il ended with a treaty with the Bey OF
Tunis by which that potentate agreed
TO virtually surrender the country to
France. The Germans anticipate a sim.
liar fate for Morocco unless the open
door policy prevails. And this they
cannot witness without uneaslness. The
addition to France of large slice Of
Africa, so favorably situated as Moroo-
co, must necessarily be viewed with
alarm by the military men who are in
terested in German supremacy Hence

French claims.

THE MARSHALSHIP.

We congratulate United States Mar
shall william Spry on receiving his
commission and entering upon the du-
ties OF thu office, to which ne has been
appointed without opposition from any
source OF the slightest Importance
That he is a clean, honest, straight
forward, honorable man, we think no
truthful individual will dispute. That
he will act in his responsible position
with dignity. fidelity. promptness ana
energy, and at the same time conduct
himself as a gentleman and a represent
tative OF the government in all things
for which he is responsible. We have
not the slightest doubt. The disfavor
Of few spiteful persons, who are nos
tile to everything except that which
their own distorted notions and bitter
animostities desire, says nothing OF any
worth against the appointment which
has been so readily made and unanl-
mously confirmed. The office VIII be
filed. we believe, TO the entire salts
faction OF the President and the public
Ex-Marshal Ben. Haywood, so far as
we know. has conducted himself with
credit and ability during his term OF
office. He has made many friends, who
regret his retirement lie has perform
ed some unpleasant duties. but has not
been Offensive or otlieious In his course.
Whatever he has had to do he has
performed as ne thought right under
the circumstances, and has comported
himself with due regard to the require
ments Of his position, and the rights
OF others. He goes out Of office with
the good wishes OF host Of people In
this state, and the hope that he VIII
be prospered In some other career. The
Deseret News joins them in these good
wishes and antlcioatlons.
