SITUATION IN UTAH.

Over in Utah the American par
ical organization, did not make the
gains in the recent election that its
friends had hoped for. Political
conditions there are as bad as any
one could conceive of, who is not
familiar with the situation in Ida
no, and the people having become
cognizant of the fact that the
Mormon church dominates the poll
itics of the state, the presumption
would be, based on our theory of gov
eminent, that the people rule, that
they are capable of self government,
that the white folks of Utah would
have voted solidly against the Nor
mons, the Srnoot-bossed republican
party. But they didn't.
Then, if our idea that the people
know what is best for them is COR
rect, there must be some reason for
their failure to flock to the Ameri-
can party. There may be others I;
but one reason surely is that the
Tribune, the organ of the Ameri-
cans, did not handle the problem
with skill. IT was sincere in its
advocacy, all right, violently so !;
but it did not display that clear
Drained discrimination in estimat-
ing the value of points in the con-
I troversy that an attorney must ex-
crcisc in order to win case. 1t
is almost an axiom that no lawyer
can plead his own cause successful
ly, which idea has been coined into
the aphorism that the attorney who
attempts that feat has fool for a
lawyer and fool for client.'
A similar condition obtained in
the advocacy of the American par
ty's cause before the people by the
Tribune. The editor of that pa
per is an apostate from the Nor
mon faith; has been excommun
Gated, or something of the sort,
from the church, and ever had on
exhibition his Jealous hatred of the
hierarchy: the observant reader
could detect in every line written
the inspiration of his personal
grievance inevitably weak
ened his appeal. Every minor of :
Tense was exaggerated by malice,
reinforced by vituperation the cold,
central fact, the giant offense, that
! the Church of Latter Day Saints is
violating one of the fundamental
theories of our republic by uniting
church and state, being necessarily
reicgated to a minor position in the
Tribune's scheme of argument. The
cxcommunicatcd Mormon could not
/ look at the subject from the view
point of those whom he sought to
/ influence, gentle republicans and
democrats, the only voters who
could possibly be induced TO ally
themselves with the Americans.
He therefore failed to convince
them of their duty, and his never
ccasing twanging on this harp
with a single string, that not at
tuned to the ears for which the
monotonous chords were intended,
made them infinitely weary, prob
ably disguised -auyway, they didn't
vote right.

Press dispatches of recent date
from Washington state that the
designations of beth Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock and Land
Commissioner Richardson are a di-
rect result of the recent invcstiga-
tions of Union Pacific's coal land
graft. II seems that prior to Hitch
cocks appointment to the cabinet,
he was within the sphere of that
railroad s political which
probably accounts for his appoint
ment-that as head of the Interior
department he has protected that
company in its coal land grab and
that these facts were elected by the
estigation-hence the ''resigna-
ton. Wouldn't it be a terrific
jolt to those who have been tout
ing Hitchcock as the stern, relent-
less prosecutor of all those crooks,
big and little, who have sought to
rape the public domain, should it
develop that he is himself despoil-
or of that precious public heritage
Is another idol to be shattered?

The Statesman of Sunday MORN
ing made all kinds of insinuations
and yelled threats about what is
going to be done to those papers
that said things about Governor
Gooding during the campaign. The
Capital News, especially, seems TO
be the object of somebody's wrath.
Wonder if these papers will be made
to prove in court the truth of their
assertions? Does Governor Good
ing labor under the erroneous inn
preston that the old English law,
that ''the greater the truth the
greater the libe1,'' still obtains in
this age, in this state? Is another
Jack-Mormon, one who will swal-
low the whole dose, going to be
placed in charge of the Boise even
ing paper? The possibilities of the
enraged executive are so many that
more definite information than that
vouchsafed by the Statesman is al
most spiritual necessity.

Hearst, the creator, the leader,
the owner of the Independence party
in New York, was the only man on
his ticket that was defeated. The
mob dearly loves the shining mark
as target at which to shoot its
adverse votes.
