in any way impaired by any inGrmity
with which they may be afflicted. It is
the duty Of every ono else using the
highway in common with them to take
notice of the fact that the right Of use
by every one is limited by tho like
right OF use by every one else. 1t does
not become any one, therefore, to arro-
gate TO himself, by reason of footing
machine or otherwise, any particular or
special rights in tho public streets or
roads All are on a perfect equality
with respect to this right of use, and
when tho lesson is learned that this
is the fact as well as tho legal con-
clusion that he who forgets it must pay
for his forgetfulness, there ought to be
no more such trouble as the case report
ed in England and number OF cases
reported right here in Salt Lake City.

GENERAL HONESTY,

Robert Hunter having said that there
are ten million men living IN poverty
in this country, and William Allen
White having said that 9S1a per cent
of Government employees are grafters;
arises Carroll D. Wright, tho famous
statistician and sociologist, now presi-
dent of Clark University, and corrects
both of these distinguished publicists,
OF The absurd statement by Robert
Hunter, Mr.. Wright is content to say
that innsmuch rs no statistics have
ever been gathered from which such
deduction could be asserted, Mr.. Hun
ter Is left without foundation. OF Mr..
William Allen Whites sensational ar
raignment of Government officials, Mr..
Wright is less tender. He says that if
White had reversed his figures and ac
cused la per cent Of public officials Of
grating and had attributed honesty TO
9S1a per cent, he would have been
nearer and still outside of the truth,
for not even lIa per cent are dishonest,
From his exhaustive study of social
progress in this and other countries,
from his intimate knowledge of stats
tics and from his ability to make their
correct application "a very rare ability,
by the way), Hon. Carroll D. Wright
concludes that the progress of the world
toward better things, and particularly
the advancement of this country in
official and business ethics and observ.
| ance of the social compact, is such as
to give encouragement to every human
| itarian. Mr.. Wright says that public
offense which would have been con-
doned quarter Of century ago now
arouses an indignation which forces re-
form. Instead OF being at the rear in
the assertion of public conscience, Mr..
Wright thinks that this Nation is in
| the vanguard,
1t is a comforting reflection that as
the world has grown richer in material
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-08-13

and intellectual things it has made cor
responding improvement in morals. All
classes of people are willing to admit
that this is the most advanced age or
the world 's history-that within cen
tury past there has been more progress
than in q thousand years Of preceding
time; but some among these are pessi-
mistic enough to assume that the ad-
vancement has been entirely material,
and with the passing Of the simple life
has come an accession of vicious life.
Not so. Business honesty is almost uni
versal; official honesty in civilized coun-
tries is almost without exception, the
morals of human relation are higher and
more general in their application
1t is true that some warfare must be
waged against wrong; but the fact that
men arc willing TO wage that warfare,
that they understand the cause Of quar-
rel, that they arc willing to make the
sacrifice attendant upon the strife, and
that they realize the effect which must
be produced to attain benefit for human
society. is the best indication of the
better days

Smoot s Interest In Idaho


Spokane (Wash.) Spokesman Review.
That the result OF the Idaho election
Will have direct bearing on the smoot
case in the Senate when Congress again
convenes IN December Is generally REQ
ognized. 1t will not, OF course, affect
tho vote of Senator Dubois; that gentle
will still be Senator from Idaho, and Will
have the privilege OF voting for the ex-
pulsion Of Smoot. But there are other
Senators who have been holding off until
the full measure Of Shoots strength in
the States said to be controlled by Nor
mons can be taken
IL Mormon influence gains victory in
the coming election In Idaho il Will great
ly help Shoots position In the Senate.
Disasreeable as IT is TO acknowledge IL,
there are undoubtedly number Of mem-
bers Of the Senate who place party above
principle. If the Mormon church can
show Itself strong enough TO control the
elections, there are grave reasons to fear
that 1t Will be rewarded by the Republic
an majority in the Senate IN the reten-
tion of Mr.. Smoot In his seat.
Republicans all over the country have
not Viewed with favor the dilatory tao
tics pursued In the Smoot case, which
ought to have been decided long ago on
the broad question Of principle, instead
OF being allowed to hang 1re lest q party
advantage be lost. 1t is not pleasant for
many Republican voters to feel that, in
consistently maintaining their party af
filiation, they are necessarily making
themselves parties to declaration of
Mormon supremacy which may retain MIR.

SOME GOOD LAW.

There has been mention recently in
the newspapers Of street accidents in
this city, some Of them undoubtedly
preventable in the running Of automo-
biles.
Now, it is certain that automobiles
have a right TO be upon the streets Of
the city or upon the public roads. They
have just as much right there as any
other form Of conveyance; but they
have no more. They are not entitled
to run anybody down; to smash any
body's wagon; and above all, they have
get out Of their way merely because
they blow a horn. il is the duty of
drivers of automobiles, as well as of
the drivers OF wagons of any kind, to
prevent. accidents and not to promote
them. No driver of any vehicle has
the least right to run down any person
upon the public street or upon the pub
lie road. No driver of any kind Of vehi-
Gle has any right to expect people who
are In the road to get out Of it for his
| benefit. When tho fair and public
| rights of everybody are recognized there
will not be the dangers nor likelihood
of accidents that is now apparent from
time TO time in the crowded streets,
A. case comes from England, report
Of which we find in The Independent,
which is precisely apposite in this con-
nection. A motorist had run down and
| L. -
damages to the widow of the deceased
had been awarded in the trial court.
The motorist appealed, on the ground
of contributory negligence, claiming
that he had footed his horn as warn
| ing, and the cyclist had paid no atten-
tion to this, appearing as if he were
deaf The Chancellor OF Great Britain
dismissed the appeal, the gist of his
ruling being in these words:
I dosiro TO say this, that when peoplo ara
driving motor cars other vehicles on n
public highway they have duty 10 remain
Der that deaf persons, and blind persons, and
| nervous persons, and children, and decrept
old persons are just MS much entitled 10 use
tho public highway as thoy are. And IL
anybody thinks proper so to drive that there
| Is chance OF serious consequences from a
mistake Of Judgment or q miscalculation on
the part OF the driver, and those consequences
are not averted. he will havo TO pay for il In
damages.
Now, that is mighty good law for the
United States as we'll as for Great Brit
ain. People who are deaf, who are
crippled, who are liable to be put into
panic by the rush and roar Of An
automobile and tho footing Of the horn,
are liable to be in the streets in this
country as in Great Britain. Their right
to tho use Of the public highway is not

A REPUTATION.

The people of Idaho understand that
Smoot is fighting there as II for his
very life The apostle recognizes that
the Eastern politicians expect him to
make good on all his boastful assertions
of commanding influence in the Inter
mountain country The test comes this
fall, and naturally every resource of
the church will be at the command OF
the Senator in his apostolic fight for
political pre-eminence,
The Spokane (Washington) Spokes-
man.Review, which naturally takes a
profound interest in the affairs of Ida
ho, in which State it has considerable
circulation, prints an editorial article
on tho subject, in which the whole
scheme is laid bare. It's comments are
so pertinent that the article is repub-
lished in this issue of The Tribune.
While pointing tho public to the ac-
tual issues involved, the Spokane paper
pays it's Republican compliments to
those Eastern Republicans who have
felt that though tho sins Of Smootism
were as scarlet, the flood Of ballots
which he could control on election day
would wash Smootism white as snow.
And the Spokesman-Re Review s utterances
on this subject are entitled to consider
alton at the hands Of the poll
ticians who have trafficked with Smoot-
ism; for the spokesman Review Is In tho
very field Of Smoot' g operations, and
IL Republican paper there can afford
to repudiate an alliance with Smoot-
ism, the politicians Of the East should
take notice and should grasp the inn
portant fact that alliance with apostles
In politics is more hurtful than helpful
to their party.
Divest the fight in Idaho Of the in
reference by and the polygamous living
of Mormon apostles and minor priests
and the Republican party would natural
ly control the State, With the hierarchs
interfering constantly in political af-
fairs, with the presidents otlico at Salt
Lake issuing its DEGREES TO be executed
by the Idaho Legislature, with scores
of known polygamous priests living un-
der the protection of the local officers
Of the law, the Republican party's con-
troll in Idaho is seriously endangered
for the self-respecting citizenship Of
that State holds the politicians Of that
party guilty of having bargained with
and accepted the services Of the apos-
ties and their henchmen.
1t would be well if those distin-
guished gentlemen OF the United States
Senate who imagine that Smootism is
too important an ally to be discarded,
could read the prompt and severe re-
pudiation which comes from the Spokes-
man-Review, They would understand
that true Republicans through the
North and Northwest prefer to wage
their party battle without the aid and
without the burden Of Mormon apos-
tolic and polypamous alliance,

plel their hypocrisy in denying the real
division here while among themselves
insisting upon it and making it their
rule and guide in appointments; their
disingenuous attitude toward an old sol
dier in insisting upon transferring him
to on Office which they thought might
he done away with--all these are
"marks of the beast" Of a. gang that
has made itself abominable alike in the
sight of God and man.

CALL THAT BRITAIN FEARS.

Boston Herald.
King Edwards Mohammedan subjects
many times outnumber his Christian sub
jects. In that fact lies Englands chief
grand Turk. The Sultan is the official
earthly head of the Moslem faith. In
political dealings with him extreme care
has to be taken that the peculiarly
sensitive Mohammedans throughout the
East are not offended. a call from Con-
srantinople in the name Of Allah and his
prophet would summon the faithful to
arms throughout half the world. Such a
call has not been given In our time; for
the welfare of humanity may II never be
given; but its possibility always con-
fronts the rulers of the British Empire.
