The attempt of the Smootites to
make it appear that there is no alter
native In Utah except to have Apostle
Smoot for boss or former Senator
kearns as boss shows the narrow vim
dictivencss of their minds. Neither
enc is necessity, and so far as former
Senator kearns Is concerned neither
one is desired by him any more than
by the uplifting, independent, intelli.
gent people of the State. 1t would be
absurd to reply to the argument of the
Smootites with their own illogic and
to show that between the false Apostle
Smoot and the trustworthy Citizen
hearns, the latter would be preferred
as boss; because the real reply is
that the people do not neea any JOSS in
public affairs; and when the Smootites
assume that they must have one and
that he must be An ecclesiast they show
to what depths Of mental degradation
they have descended and what little
part loyalty to the Nation and the dig
nifty of citizenship have in their polit-
ical scheme.
The preference which the Smootites
express for the apostolic boss is one
which the people Of the State do not
share. Apostle Smoot was confronted
by an emergency at Washington. He
knew absolutely that one course would
bring disaster to his people while
bringing temporary distinction to him
self, and yet he choose that course.
Senator kearns in Washington was
also confronted by crisis. He learned,
upon highest authority, that the Nation
would not silently brook the selection
of high Mormon ecclesiast to a seat
in the lawmaking body, Acquiescence
meant to him the favor of the hie-
Tarchy. Warning meant their enmity.
In Difference to his duty to the State
which had so signally honored him he
chose to utter the warning and TO take
the consequences.
Whatever else may be said of the
two men, this will stand as a part of
the imperishable record: That Reed
Smoot sacrificed the welfare of the
State for his own advantage; and
Thomas kearns sacrificed his own adj
vantage in an effort to do the State
service

AS TO BOSSES.

The Springville Independent reads
few lines to the so'called "respecta
bles' OF the Republican" party in
this State. Its editorial is worth pc
rusal, and is reprinted in this Issue of
The Tribune under the title "Bossism,
Machine Politics. 1t is unnecessary
to add anything to the Independent g
argument that boss is not absolutely
essential and that a party may be
ruled by the people; but il may be in
tcresting TO again call attention to the
opposing theory under which Smootsm
has been established and nm apostle
has been constituted as n genuine ma
chino boss. During the early progress
of Apostle Smoot s career in politics
and Immediately after he went TO the
Senate his friends were fond of saying
that he WAS as great politician as
Matt Quay and rs capable as Tom
Flatt, and that what these two mon
had dono in the two States Of Penn
sylvania and New York. Apostle Smoot
could do, would do, and should do in
and for Utah. We hear loss of that
sort Of thing now because Qnay is load,
and the machine which he built is
damned; and Senator Platt is discred-
tied and all the political machinery Of
his career lies in ruins around his
faItering feet. Nevertheless, and not.
withstanding the cessation of that fool
ish talk, the spirit which animated it
remains. Apostle Smoot still poses in
Washington as a political dictator in
Utah and the intermountain country.
And in Utah he appears as "Senator
Smoot'' at religious gatherings, and he
is still attempting TO mould all the
political influences and powers of his
church TO his will
Apostle Smoot and mis- immediate ad-
visers are men who believe in bossism
Their whole career demonstrates this
fact. In every department of their ac-
tivity, in business, in religion and
irreligion (the latter of the most viru-
lent type), in politics and in social af
fairs, they have ruled by an absolut-
ism approaching brutality. Their dis.
regard of all the amenities of life, their
utter Ignorance or reputation Of the
rights of others are notorious Apostle
Smoot does not conceive any kiad of |
politics which does not rest upon the
rule of the boss. So long as he or the
interests which he represents shall have |
any influence in politics in Utah the
machine will he in evidence, and the |
people will be in state of subiuga-
ton.

ORDERED BY GOVERNMENT.

Little Italy has two mysteries
cleared up, and breathes more freely.
One is why Angelina Pascalini worked
so hard and spent so little, and the
other is why Angelina Pascalini al
ways insisted on seeing the papers
that are printed in English, which Ian
guage everybody knew Angelina could
not read. Angelina is now married.
and the two mysteries deal with this
marriage.
In order that it may be known who
Angelina is, let it be stated that he
hailed from Genoa, in Big Italy-from
Genoa where the sun shines brightly
and the sky is tinted blue and red;
where men work slowly and live easily,
the money is very scarce. In the
course of the eighteen years which had
rolled over Angelino's head before a
far-seeing padrone packed him into
the steerage of a very uncertain ship
and sent him sailing over the hilly
water to America, it may be doubted
if Angelina had seen altogether of his
own as much money as the equivalent
of five dollars. Nevertheless, he had
been happy in Genoa. until he met
Nina-Nina, whose mother came from
Spain.
After he met Nina, by his own ac.
count, Angelina was no longer happy.
He realized then how very poor he
was, and how far away was marriage
with Nina. He worked as hard as he
could, and ate even more sparingly
than was the wont of his countrymen
of the black bread and garlic, and
drank less of the bitter red wine.
Nevertheless, his hoard increased
but slowly, and Angelina grew desper-
ate. He sought Nina, and told her of
the padrone. He would go to America.
She looked at him wonderingly with
her big black eyes, and promised to
wait.
Angelina, having made his adieus
and stuck one last candle under the
portrait of his patron saint, went
away to America.
His welcome in this country dis
pleased Angelina. He liked ice and
snow little, but the jeers of the people
he liked even less. True, the land
was discovered by one of his country
men, named Columbus, four hundred
years before. But Angelina did not
know this, and it would not have made
much difference if he had. Those who
had prof1ted by Columbus discovery
disliked Columbus countrymen, and
Angelina was made to suffer their dis
like.
However, he workou on railroads,
and in other way, Until his debt to
the padrone was paid, and then he
began to work for himself. Despite his

WIFE LEADS BLINDSCHAPLAIN.
0ne of The Touching Sights in the
House of Representatives.

Few persons, who, on visits to the
House of Representatives see Mrs.
Henry N. Couden, wife of the blind
chaplain, fail to be impressed by her
gentleness and dignity. With unfail-
ing fidelity she accompanies her hus-
band to the door of the House, and
after resigning him into the hands Of
b page she waits in the lobby until
the end Of his prayer. Then she ac-
companies him home. Mr.. CUden
seldom fingers in the House after his
prayer is finished, but few of the
legislators, from the speaker down to
tho youngest recruit, fail to salute him
and his gentle little wife. Mrs. Couden
resembles a Dresden figure in her
fowered silk and old-fashioned bonnet
She cares not for changing styles, but
year after year she wears a simple
gown Of silk, with a black bonnet tied
Under her chin with f1owered ribbons.

Washington No Place To Die.

While in Washington on her last
visit Sarah Bernhardt commented up
on the tendency to run the nations
capital in the puritan blue law FASH
ion that has gone out of style nearly
everywhere else. She said that in
many respects Washington is more
beautiful than Paris. But" said
Sarah, "why do you make of your
beautiful capital a country village?
You have no amusements here-no
gardens, no places where the working
men can go on Sunday or in the
evenings. At midnight everything Is
closed. 1t is then thai Paris wakes.
I would rather not die in Washington.
1t is not place for even so hilarious
an event."

SIain-Characteristi Message OF
Old General Houston to Mexican
General Santa Ana
The State of Texas, born some sixty
years too late to assist in the revolu-
tionary events of '76, has it's own In
dependence day in addition to the ma.
tional Fourth of July, which it shares,
however, with it's sister states. This
patriotic state celebration occurred on
April p, the SEVENTEEN anniversary of
the fight at the San Jacinto, where 800
Texans gave double their number of
Mexicans one of the completest drub-
bings in military history.
Every schoolboy knows the story of
San Jacinto as told in the books. But
there is in the Southwest a fire-side
tale about it which deserves to be bet
ter known. 1t is that the night before
the little, the Mexican general, Santa
A, sent flag of truce to the Texan
camp with a summons to surrender
and an offer of pardon. Grim old Sam
Houston, the father" of Texas, heard
the message and said to one of his
aids:
"Tell him to go to he'll! Put that
into Spanish" And the aid, trans
lating the answer into the language of
Spanish military diplomacy, made or
alton as it appears in the books:
General Houston prays that YOU
will have the kindness to present his
compliments to General Santa Ana.
inform him that General Houston re-
grets to be constrained to reply that if
General Santa Ana desires our com
pany it will be necessary for him to
condescend to give himself the trouble
OF coming and getting u.s."
The biggest celebration of San ia
cinto day was at San Antonio, for
there is the Alamo, and there was the
fight which came before San Jacinto
and turned the blood of every Texan
engaged to fire and his nerves to cold
steel.
The defenders of the Alamo, though
bound by no law like those of Their
mopylae, disdained to surrender. They
knew too well, from the fate of Nolan
and his hunters a generation before

A portrait of the son and heir Of the
Gar of Russia recently made public
seems to belle the statements issued
from abroad that the infant Czarevitch
is deaf mute and an IDIOT. The baby
prince is unusually bright and has
never had a days illness in his %
months of existence, though many
papers have often reported him as be-
ing in an extremely critical condition.
Czarevitch Alexis, as he is officially
known, was born on August 12, 1904,
at the very darkest moment of the
fortunes Of Russia during the war
with Japan. Notwithstanding the
trouble sometimes through which the
Russian government has passed, the
infant who will some day succeed to
the throne Of the Russian government,
has thriven in adversely. The ac-
companying portrait was taken at the
Russian Palace at the express wish of
the Empress.
