THE AMERICAN TICKET.

The ticket put in the field by the
American convention Of Saturday is an
admirable one-well balanced, fair to
all, and made up OF men whose names
are guarantee Of high character, abil-
ity, devotion 10 the public interests
and welfare, and loyal TO the great
principles Of Americanism.
The Legislative ticket is the best
and most representative ever put be-
fore the voters Of this county for their
support. The Two Senatorships are d-
vided between the city and the county,
and both nominations nre in every way
superior; both are men who are expe-
rienced in public affairs. and who will
do honor TO their constituents In Iecis-
lative service.
The ten nominees for the House Of
Representatives are also all well dis
tributed, geographically and as to the
section Of the community which they
represent. Fairly and rightfully did the
convention award these honors, with
due regard to the public interests and
with a high regard for its responsible
ity toward the public in apportioning
the honors and the expected service.
The election Of these ten members will
introduce into the lower house of
Utah s Legislature patriotic, indepen-
dent, conscientious element which has
long been lacking there, and which is
imperativeIy needed,
The County Commissionerships are
also farley divided, one from the city
and one from the county; and both
nominations are personally commend
able. These officials will find a great
field for proper tillage, enormous
abuses TO correct, innumerable small
holes through which fraud and graft
percolate, TO stop up.
The nomination Of the Hon. A. j.
Weber for County Attorney is one of
distinguished and conspicuous fitness.
Mr.. Weber makes great sacrifice in
taking this position. But his sacrifice
is the high gain Of the people, who
seldom have the opportunity to ratify
nomination that IS SO cminently de-
sirs BILE.

has confessed the whole miserable story
she knows that there Is such a boss,
she naturally prefers the church TO rule
her than to be ruled by one not of her
faith; and Mrs Gates inadvertently,
but happily, admitted at the Republican
convention what the mass of Mormon
men and women have been reared TO
think.
Jt is fortunate hope for The future
of this State that many Of the class to
which Mrs. Gates belongs have marched

of National glory here, have welcomed

Who Of our many readers have not at
some period Of life felt the burden of
a sorrowing heart9 Who has not for a
moment felt, while climbing the steep
path Of life, that his burden was heav-
Ter than his heart could bear1 At
such times we often fail to remember
the pleasures Of the past or anticipate
the happiness of the future, which in
coming our way would we but stretch
out our hands and grasp it. We should
ever look upward and never falter; re-
new our hope and ambition, and sue
cess will crown our efforts. Ii has been
said that every day has it's sorrows
This may be true, but it also has its
pleasures and Joys. We may not al
ways perceive them, but they are there
II we but look for them. We are but
drinking out Of that mixed cup that
Providence has prepared for US. and
we should search for the sweet as well
as the bitter. Try TO look on the
bright side; many life has been
wrecked by looking only on the dark
side Of life.

A CANDID ADMISSION.

In a few brief moments an intensely
Jealous, a sincere, earnest and aggres-
sive woman did more damage at the
Republican State convention last Thurs
day than can be repaired by thousand
men in the course OF the campaign. We
refer to the speech made by Mrs. Susa
Young Gates. That notable woman is
a member of Relief Societies and Mu-
tual Improvement Associations and
other auxiliary labors OF the Mormon
church, and is known as one Of the
stanchest devotoes of the faith IN which
she was reared "Sister Susan FOR the
moment forgot that she was not in a
Relief Society or other ecclesiastical
meeting and she promptly notified
=" Brother Daniel that he would be
cut off from the church for daring 10
say things which seemed TO be dis
respectful to the priesthood.
But it is NOT with Mrs. Gates as a
acknowledgement that telling the truth
disqualifes man from being 4 Nor
mon that The Tribune wishes TO treat
The important eInanation from her re-
marks was her candid admission that
her people must be governed by boss
and preferred the one she had 10 either
Senator Kearns or Judge Powers.
Now, such a frank acknowledgement
as that has its great value in this
State. 1t is part Of the idea which
still fingers with the majority OF the
people-that they must be directed in
all things by some one; and il they
wero to leave the church they would be
bossed by either Thomas kearns or Or
lando W. Powers; and out of the three
they prefer the church, as being famil-
lar with its method OF dictatorship.
1t is q pity that such awful gloom
should surround the souls of people who
have had opportunities for enhgbtcn-
mcnt. tt is not necessary in this great
free, uplifting Republic for the citizen,
male or female, 10 be guided by any
dictator. There should abide with
every American citizen at this time the
assurance that in politics and religion
he makes his own choice and no man
can stand between him and his devotion
TO his country, and no man dare stand
between his conscience and his God.
He needs no more bosses; for there are
already too many. The speaker at the
Republican convention only expressed
The old and unforgotten fact that in
Utah there was absolutism; and the
speaker and many Of the class TO which
that speaker belongs, still believe that
absolutism is necessary TO the prcser
walton Of community life. They are
all unconscious OF tho evolution of
things here, they do not understand
that Utah has become a State and
should take her rank with her sister
States, They seem not 10 understand
that having sought entrance into the
American Republic, we must all be
American citizens-that III all civic af
fairs we must hold the Nation 'and the
State supreme. 1t would be glorious
outpouring Of light if all who belong TO
this class in Utah could only sense
that, as splendid as their faith is in
their religion, just so splendid could be
their devotion TO their country, There
need be no conflict; there is no occasion
for an ecclesiastical boss or dictator in
the politics of Utah. But Mrs. Gates

THE NEWS CALLS THE TURN.

In long editorial on politics in
which it counsels brethren to be
brethren aud keep in close and friendly
relation with each other (meaning the
brethren in the church. and close
priestly touch with priests, the Nor
mon church organ prints the following:
Whilo the tactics which we have depre.
Gated in this article arc resorted to for tho
'a.ooompilShmcnt of party purposes, real pol.
inos viii be kept in the background, and
that which comes 10 tho front and operates
and takes the lead in public offairs win be
the ordinary low down, debHsing, disturbing
and degencraiiug in6uopce which goes by
tho name OF politics, but has more right
TO tho term than dabolsm has TO claim tho
ntle oil tho righteousness OF tho King OF
kings.
How true that Is Of the manifesto
tion of political activity from within
the church political quorumsl Here
is Reed Smoot, an apostle of the Most
High, disciple OF Jesus Christ-pre-
tending to all these; nay, more, assum-
ing to be the mouthpiece through whom
God speaks the immutable and the ever
lasting viii to mankind: here is this
Apostle Smoot descending TO the trick
cry and chicanery which would disgrace
ward heeler in politics elsewhere
playing a Democrat for Mayor in one
town and q Republican for Mayor in
another town; slavering the hand Of
President Roosevelt in Washington and
being a party to gross insult to Presi-
dent Roosevelt here in Utah: here is
this Apostle Smoot, the dominating fig-
ure of the dominating element in poll
ties IN Utah No wonder the News cries
out that the GLOW down, debasing, dis
turbing and degrading influence will
come TO the front and take the lead in
public affairs.
If some enemy Of Reed Smoot had
been writing a comment upon him at
this time he would scarcely have chosen
such words concerning Mormon apos-
tie as appear in the columns of the
church organ. That paper knows that
Reed Smoot is the chief operative force
at the front in the political affairs Of
this State; and when it sepaks of Glow
down" and "debasing" influences and
charac teristics it is attributing these TO
the chosen apostle OF the Lord, dedi-
Gated and set apart by the prophet,
seer, and revelator, TO manipulate poll
tics for the debasementn Of cur COM
