TOO MUCH SMOOT.

is unusual for the Provo senator TO

run their politics, repeating i'm a quiet.
gum-shoe way, his performance of last
fall when he butted into the city cam

this time is no improvement on the
original appearance.
If the results on the last occasion fur
nish any criterion, It is time for some
good friend of the senator's to take him
by the ear. lead him 10 one side and
gently but firmly admonish him to quit
monkeying with Salt Lake politics. Salt
Lake had plenty of Smoot before he got
to bossing local affairs, and it got more
than enough. when he came to the city
on election day and assured the success
of the American ticket.
Although he does not seem to realize

would more quickly contribute to an
American success in this county than
to mix up in the campaign here this fall
Plenty of voters are Disguised enough
with the American grating and mis-
management in city affairs to put that
aggregation out of business if the fight
is made on party lines, but if Senator
SmoOt insists on being conspicuous in
Salt Lake county a good many Of
them, even of his own party, will take
the most conspicuous way they know
TO tell him he is a political nuisance.
If Smoot has any regard for his own
party or for the state or for the welfare
of Salt Lake City and county, he will
make himself as scarce as possible

FREAK OF A FILIPINO.

DOminar Gomez. Filipino. has lust
, leaped into the limelight, and if he en-
j joys notoriety he ought to be perfectly
: happy, for he is getting plenty Of It.
At recent meeting of Filipinos Co
mez delighted his audience by assur-
ing them that If a Filipino republic
were organized England, Germany and
France would recognize il. Dominar
. asserted that he had sent cablegrams
TO the three countries to stir up a SEN
timent i'm favor of Filipino independ-
ence and that he had received by cable
assurances of undying friendship.
Could anything more absurd be i'm
agined?
II GomeZ's cOmpatriots believed what
! ne said they are still a long way from
being intelligent enough to manage a
republic of their own. The chances are
that Gomez has barely enough money
TO keep himself in rice and linen
clothes. If he had the price of one
brief cable message it is entirely prob
able that he would expend the sum in
rice, wine, or such other intOxicants as
trouble is. though, that, according to
an authority on Philippine matters,
Foreman, the Filipinos actually believe
the sort of rot that Gomez teaches
them.
Mr.. Foreman says the natives know
absolutely nothing about international
usage; they are easily flattered by their
eloquent speakers and they can be
talked into taking the most desperate
chances. Agitators of all sorts find
them easy victims. Mr. Foreman thinks
that "for a long time to come there
will probably be a certain amount of
disaffection and a class of wire-pullers,
men OF property, chiefly half-castes,
constantly in the background, urging
the masses forward to their own de-
struction."
However Mr.. Foreman is not with
out an antidote of a sort. He says:
Lucrative employments have salts
fed the ambition of so many educated
Filipinos who must find living, that
the same principle creation of ma
terial interest-might perhaps be adj
yantageously extended to the unedu-
Gated classes All the malcontents can
not become state dependents, but they
might easily be helped to acquire an
interest in the soil. The native who
has his patch Of settled land with un-
assailable title would be loath to risk

his all for the chimerical advantages
of Instruction"
1t is greatly to be feared that we will
always have trouble with the Filipinos.
Time after time the islands have been
reported as "pacified,' but hardly a
week goes by without it's report of
American soldiers killed by rebels and
retaliatory measures used against the
Islanders. It is not nice to think that
the Filipinos will not be subdued un-
til they are all dead, but that's the way
it is beginning to look. Perhaps bet
ter plan than the one suggested by
Foreman would be to announce to the
Filipinos that on q given date, even
though it is put forward ten years, they
are to receive their liberty.
