THE BIG REASON.

There come many indications that the
selfish, foolish and arrogant proceedings
of the Republican bosses in Utah
are driving the self-respecting element
of the party away from the mIsuscd
organization and into the American
party ranks. This was to be expected !;
and the presence of the self-respecting
element is invited and welcomed. But
there is higher and more enduring rca-
son than the political miscalculations
and misconduct of bosses which should
Justify and even demand a recession
from the machine and coalition of
sincere Republicans in Utah with the
American party. 4 better reason is
found in the fact that even if the
bosses were apparently considcrate and
apparently unscl6sh, the rule of such
bosses, directed as they are, is Of it
self the greatest evil-no matter 10
what apparent end they may Temporal
rily exercise that rule.
The great wrong is that the bosses
are representative Of n power which
controls them absolutely, and whether
the purpose of today rs shown by the
bosses is good or i'll and the purposes
of tomorrow is Ill or good, tho people
suffer because the great general and
controlling purpose Of the bosses is TO
do the will of the hicrarchs who sent
them
And there is another error in the
assumption that Republicans, especial
", should resist the Smootism which
has usurpcd their rights. The Dcmoc
racy is ridden by the same cold man
Of the sea. Whether il recognizes
that ii have bosses or not. the fact
remains that its party movement is di-
rected quite as effectively by ecclesias-
teal power as is the party movement
of the so.callcd Repuhlicanism,
There is a call for both Republicans
and Democrats, who have selfrcspect,
to leave their party organizations and
join with Americauism in Utah to re
deem Utah; but the call is not essen

fish disregard of party and party wei

runs and because there will never he
a redress of the minor wrongs until the
great one is oyerthrown.

IN THE THROES.

The news from Russia alternatee;
one day il is all for the Duma and the
accomplishment Of a civil revolution
in the Russian Government, the next
it points to the downfall Of the Duma
and the resumption OF the ancient or
der of autocracy.
IT is evident that this points to an
unsettled condition of affairs that does
not admit of any sound judgment be-
ing formed. A noted French writer,
NJ. Leroy-Beaulieu, considers that the

be done without overthrowing the
throne.
On the other hand, there are not
wanting evidences that the old autoc.
racy is but biding its time, and has not

JACK-MoRMON IMBECILITY,

An eminent Gnancier of Utah, visit
ing in the East, is reported to have
made the following statement to a
newspaper in his old home town in
Michigan:
Bnke City in our business dealings. We
hear. in fact more about Mormonism and
the Mormons outside oi Utah than we do in

tiles, I don know hut that | would rather

always sure to get my money back from
Mormon, while | am not sure Rbont the
Gcntilos.
IDasmuch as the Gentiles Of whom
the inancier speaks comprise the Jews
and all others who are not Mormons
in Utah, and inasmuch as those who
are not Mormons are fairly representa-
tive of the Michigan, Iowa, New York,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and other
State communities from which they
came TO Utah, the eminent fnancier
(himsclf supposed Gentile) appears
to have begun a large muckrake con
tract.
AS rule, the individual Mormon is
honest in his financial transactions;
and that is one of the grand things
OF humanity. AS rule, also. the Gen.

never observed that an honest Mormon
is any more honest than an honest
Gentle, or that he is any less honest
than an honest Jew Tho eminent
financier must have picked OUT pretty
bad class Of Gentiles with whom TO
associate in Salt Lake-there are a
few, and if he likes that kind Of com
pany he might also have picked out a
bad class of Mormons.
But, then, what could you expect
from a gentleman who first tells the
newspaper that 1--WE do not know who
are Mormons in our business dealings
and then tells the same newspaper that
he is "always sure to get his money

IN FIT COMPANY.

When mere men engage IN politics
the public expects from them only
common everyday dccency and intcg-
rity, but when priests are appointed to
political career by the voice of revela-
tion the public expect from them a
superadded goodness, idealism, sanctity,
holiness, and the several other things
which they claim they are intending to
introduce INTO the world for the rotor
nation of its wickedness
Therefore II must come as Il shock
to the people Of Utah that Elder
Joseph Howell. dedicated and set apart
by the voice of God speaking through
the prophet. seer, and revelator of the
Mormon church, has deserted all the
exaltations of his mission, and is con

the hope of this paper that Joseph
Howell, Congressman from Utah, would
begin TO measure up TO the require

station to which he had been APP
pointed by the president of his church
and in which he had been confirmed
by an apparent majority at the polls.
This hope did not go so far as to con

A SOUND POSITION.

The Hon, John Morley, Secretary for
India in the British Cabinet, protests
against bringing India into the sphere
of the active party politics Of the home
country. He insists that India has
nothing TO do with these home oues.
tions, and that nothing but mischief
can come from any effort TO make these
questions Indian questions, and con-
versely to make Indian colonial oues-
tions home questions. among people
who have no knowledge of Indian Gus
toms. trade or conditions, as the in
babitants Of India have no knowledge
of or concern in the home questions
Of England, Ireland and Scotland.
There can be no doubt that Mr..
Morley is altogether right on this
point. To keep India out of the local
political squabbles of home politics is
the only way TO have peace either at
home or in India. To drag. India into
these home partisanships would effect
no good result, but mischief contin-
ually.
And this country can draw a valua-
bic lesson from Secretary Morley g po-
sition IN this direction, which is of
course the British Government q posi-
'ioh' Il VI Inc nlIlpplue6 DO not
bear any such relation to this country
as India bears to Great Britain, the
same logic as to keeping separate our
home politics and Philippine questions
applies. There is no reason why there
should be any partisan politics in the
administration Of the government of
the Fllipjnos. Fortunately, there has
not been thus far, and it is eminently
desirable that there shall not be. A
Democrat succeeded Taft as civil GOV.
ernor Of the Philippines, with no change
in the local policy, and when the
Democrat was succeeded by Repub-
hcan there was no difference in the
policies enforced.
This is precisely as it should be:
and the verdict OF this country has
been repeatedly that it would not mix
Filipino politics in our home politics,
which is also as it should be. What
the Filipinos need is relief from our
tariff and navigation restrictions. and
this relief should be afforded without
regard to party, as the urging of il is
not confined to any partisan lines.

POOR DRESSING.

A young woman in New York. whose
desire for notoriety The Tribune re-
fuses to crafty by the publication of
her name, tells newspaper reporter
that the cost Of her wardrobe is $780,
900 year, and that she must practice
many economics TO keep her expcndi-
ture within this sum. Her revelations
on the subject of dress. from the out
side Paris gown down to the dress that
nature gave TO her. are deemed so en-
tertaining that they are specially tele-
graphed from the East to one Of the
most important and dignifed Chicago
papers.
it would take more than 100000 a
year TO dress that woman properly. The
chiefest charm of her appearance must
be lacking, for any one of her sex who
will invite the public into the secrets
of her wardrobe and tell the price that
she pays for and the quantity and
quality of her lingerie is lacking the
essential jewel of personal appearance.
Her face must show brass where she
should carry the precious gold of
modesty
So far as her lavish outlay Of money
is concerned, no one should object to
it. The male fool is not the only one
who is soon parted from his cash The
only pity is that she does not spend ten
times as much and bankrupt herself
in two years.
Judging her and her costumes by
the pictures IN the newspapers, The
Tribune insists that there are more
beautiful and better dressed girls in
Salt Lake who make their own gowns
and they neither expose their lingerie
to irreverent gaze nor describe IL in
irrevcrent print.
