The Un-American T Press
Disreputable Salt Lake Sheets Malign Morse
and Now Shamefully Abuse Judge Frick.

Until within day or two of the
recent republican state convention,
the un-American press OF Salt Lake
city fairly shrieked and howled itself
hoarse about Mr.. Morse, whom it
then claimed was the choice of 1.-The
church" of Mr.. Smoot, and of 1.-The
machine for the Supreme bench How.
ever, in the convention Judge J. Il.
Frick won out by a narrow margin,
and 40 " this same un-American press
insists that Mr.. Frick is on the ticket
only by the grace Of Mr.. Smoot and
his so-called machine.
All Of this is but the yelping of So
ciety leeches and disgruntled political
jumping jacks who know neither the
meaning of honor, honesty or consist
ency. The gang Of political blood
suckers in the employ Of that ignorant
Hessian whose arrogant ambition and
rotten pride is limited only to the ex-
traordinary pile If money which a
tickle fortune has showered upon him

Howell Not Recalcitrant
Congressman For Cache County First, Last
and Always. Is Criticised Basely.

No sane person who heard Hon.
Joseph Iowells declaration at the
Commercial Club rooms several weeks
ago and his recent speech at the Re-
publican county convention can doubt
that he is as interested in the preser.
walton Of the Agricultural College In
its entirety, and at Logan, as any man
in this county. Mr.. Howell left no
doubt in tie minds Of any except those
who do not want to be convinced
personal and political enemies. These
will continue to attack him, OF course,
this despite the fact that in all of the
colleges trials to date he has been
most instrumental In preserving it as
1t is.
1t was the Hon. Joseph Howell who,
when the situation was supposed to
be al crisis, insisted on the Senators
at Washington joining him in a tele.
gram OF protest to the party workers
in this state, and there are none who
will doubt that that telegram had
more weight than any bunch of Demo-
Gratis ever at the legislature or that
will ever be sent there. Mr.. Howell
Is also credited with being the infiu-
ence that was most largely instru-
mental in Governor Cutters decision
to not call the recently asked for ex.
ira session of the state legislature.
Protests were sent in, of course, but it
is known that Governor Cutler had
made his decision before they were re.
ceived, made it in fact during an ex-
tended conference with Congressman
| Howell.

Democracy is the Thief

Democracy is fond of saying that
President Roosevelt's popularity, and
the splendid success Of the last Con-
gress, is due to an appropriation Of
Democratic thunder, or principles, A
speaker at the Democratic convention
in Logan last Saturday urged this upon
mis- listeners, and Mr.. Bryan himself
not infrequently accuses the Repub-
lican party Of borrowing from the
Democratic platform.
But this is hoax, a cry OF stop
thief from the thief himself. The
Democratic party and Mr.. Bryan have
stolen the Populistic platform hide,
hair and breeches, and now urge that
President Roosevelt has been stealing
from them.
IL Is true that the Democratic ma
tional platform had a plank demand
ing more stringent rate legislation,
but II Mr.. Bryan will remember, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's first recommendation
on this subject was in his first annual
message to Congress In 1901, and has
been in all his messages since that
date.
But President Roosevelt made no
originality In this recommendation
any more than he gave credit to the
Democratic party and Mr.. Bryan for a
patent right on it. The president
simply followed in the Republican
pathway that has been highway Of
rate legislation for twenty years past.
The original act creating the Inter-
state Commerce Commission was
passed by Republican Congress near
ly twenty years ago, and there has
not been Republican Congress since
that time which has not amended the
act TO make it more effective.
Railway rate regulation is policy
of the United States government, and
will be as long as the Republican party
controls the government. 1t is simply
development Of the old Republican
policy that this is nation and not
simply a federation of states; that the
Federal government has the power to
control and regulate interstate COM
merce, as it has to improve waterways
and construct public works, When
Mr.. Bryan or any other Democrat goes
back into the history OF these ques.
tions he will find that until quite re-
Gently his party, II the Democratic
party is his party, has protested tina!

deny that Congressman Howell year
ago expressed himself in reference to
the college contention at that time in
a way that was very unsatisfactory TO
the editor of this paper, but at no
time did Mr.. Howell say word that
indicated any unfriendiness to the in
stitution or that could be construed
as favorable TO consolidation. In fact,
Mr. Howell expressed strongly his love
for the college and insisted that his
close political associates In Salt Lake
City were friendly to the &C llege itself
his and their contention being only In
reference to the management.
THE REPUBLICAN, than whom the
college has no stronger friend, believes
Congressman Howell when he says he
loves Cache county and her institu.
tions, when he says he will do all in his
power to protect and sustain them,
and we believe him when he says that
his political associates are friendly to
the college. The cry of Democracy
against the "Smoot machines" de-
signs in reference to the big school are
but the kind OF whines that emanate
from Salt Lakes un.American press.
This may be closed with question:
Even If Mr.. Howell and the so-called
Smoot machine" were inclined Ito
do things" to Logan and the college,
do you think they could afford to do
so at this time, or Mt any time in the
near future? lIavn't they about all
the trouble they care to meet up with?
However, Mr.. Howell is with the in
stitution heart and soul and will
do anything In his power TO prevent
its destruction.

Judge Morse was never the candi-

AS one of the strongest, ablest, most

sufficient proof that Mr.. Morse knew
of no church or Smoot chicancery in
his behalf or against him.
And the same may be said Of Judge
Prick, the final choice of the conven-
ton. This distinguished attorney is
recognized as an able gentleman, clear
cut, clean, anything but trickster
and to him connivance with machine

iski to Prick nominated that gentle
man. Cache delegates really had no
choice and had there been a single
strong Morse man in the crowd he
could have landed the greater major
ity OF the delegation. AS it was, Mr..
Frick had made speeches in this coun-
ty, proved himself an affable, agree

personally. The writer preferred Mr.
Frick, but decided to meet Morse be-

calumny to urge Smoot and 1.-THE

or Frick.

HIT AT DUBOIS.

Although Senator Dubois has told
bis fellow senator's, the president aud
the nation that there is not an acre of
agricultural land in the Forest Reserves
of Idaho, his press agent is busy in
telling The people of the state that the
senator is absorbed in trying to get the
committeeson public lands to report a
bill that will give settlers some right
on an Idaho Reserve.
1t seems very strange that United
States senator can be SO vascillating
on so serious a matter One day he
frenziedly advocates the total elimi-
nation of the settler, and the next day
his heart bursts and bleeds for the
poor homeseeker. Not one word can
be found from the lips of the senator,
or in his numerous letters advocating
the absorption of Idaho's large land
area into Forest Reserves, for the
settler or homeseeker. Blindly aud inn
pulsively he has endorsed and advocat
ed every scheme that Forester Pinchot
has advanced to feudalize great state.
even to robbing it OF its rich school
lands. Are the people going to forget
this when the senator returns to Idaho
with his bland smile to seek re election.
Every concession wrung FROM the
Forest Service has been through de.
termined opposition. Prospectors have
been allowed to breath air on the
Reserves for little; while settlers
have not been violently dispossessed
aud may remain undisturbed until
congress settles their fate, timber has
really been sold from the reserves and
the chief forester has actually allowed
each county where the forests are
situated the muni6cent amount of 5
per cent of the gross revenue from
taxable property Now, is this not
generous? Five per cent from the
gross receipts from the reserve for
millions of acres of the finest agricnl-
tural lands in the west! Why, the peo-
pie ought to get down on their knees
like chringing mendicants, and pour
out their thanks for his great and un-
looked for giftI But will this spirit ol
boundless liberty to adespoiled, robbed
and abused state not create alarm
among the fuedalists, of waste. extava.
gance and recklessness?
Surely, Senator Dubnis, standing
like a Cicero in the forum and declar4
ing that there is no agricultural land
in the Forest Reserve area in Idaho
cannot submit to this bounty being
given to the counties Of the state tc
