A PRESS" REPORT.

II appears that President Roosevelt
recently called into assemblsge with
him at the White House several dis
tiuguIshed newspaper correspondents, TO
whom he communicated his views CON
corning the proposed investigation by
Congress Of his action in dismissing
without honor the negro troops, and
the proposed legislation by Congress for
restoration of those dishonored men
to their former places in the ranks of
the regiment.
II is from the New York Press a
prominent Republican journal, that the
following report of that meeting is
taken:
The President even went 10 the length
OF saying not only that II Congress
should vote, for the reinstatement of
these colored soldiers ne would veto such
legislative action, bur that II Congress
repassed such bill over his veto he
would see 10 II that order never reached
executive approval or enforcement. He
asserted that II Congress in the extrem
fly Of the controversy should see AZ to
impeach him for his attitude he gladly
would welcome such action on It's part
1t is incomprehcnsible that the Presi-
dent of the United States should utter
such views and express such intentions;
and yet it is equally beyond belief
that newspaper friendly 10 the admin.
istration. conducted with great careful
ness and intelligence, animated by a
consciousness of its duty to the coun~
try, should misreprcsent the chief ex-
ecutive Of this Nation in n matter so
vital
There can be no other construction Of
the language used by the Press than
that the President (supposing for mo
ment that he uttered it) intended TO
nullify an act of Congress and TO set
up his individual opinion against the
will of the people expressed through
their representatives. thus violating his
oath Of Office under which he IS pledged
TO execute the laws of the United
States. To the avowal of this extraor-
dinary intention it is but an addition
! of kind, to brutaIly challenge the power
of the House of Representative to i'm
| peach him.
President Roosevelt has done and snid

genheim confesses to an ambition TO
be Senator; and that ambition is to
be achieved in the forthcoming elec.
Mr., Guggenheim does more; he says
that his aspiration was to achieve finan
cial Independence. so that he might
enter the field Of politics bound by
no extraneous demand and qualified to
serve his country with free hands, with
all his health and all his heart, as well.
1t is too late IN the day for us to
assume that honorable service to the
country arises necessarily from any par
ticular condition. Some of the abest
of Statesmen have lived their years in
comparative poverty. and some of the
greatest adornments OF the world in
parliamentary bodies. in science and in
art, have been men Of independent
means, who gave of their plentltude of
ability and devoted their hours Of daily
toll to the welfare Of humanity.
There has been a feeling IN this coun
try that the Senate was a club of
rich men. and thar the public in
terest was neglected bv them, where
IN il was not deliberately sacrificed to
private affairs In few instances only
is this true. Today the Senate is
fair admixture Of rich men and poor
men, but on the floor of that cham"
her and in committee room there
is no consideration Of wealth. and every
man is estimated lat what he is. Per.
haps there is no better leveler in the
world than the Senate of the United
States. Every man there is tested;
first, as to his integrity; second. as to
his ability, and third. as to the con-
stancy of his attention to public
afrairs-aud the third only comes last
because IL takes longer time 10
demonstrate this point than preceding
ones. One might remain In the Senate
fer twenty years and never see on the
floor or in any committee room any
assertion of the wealth or the
poverty of any particular Senator or
group of Senators--so far as outward
appearance goes.
Mr. Guggenheim talks frankly; and
that is good sign. He will be con
fronted, however. by one thing which
probably represents the only just ques-
tion concerning the advisabillty of
sending n vastly wealthy man with
great business activities to the Senate
The care of the enormous enterprises,
in which he has both large interest
and large esponsibiGty, will, unless
he guards himself. make such demands
upon his time as to withdraw him fire.
quently from his senatorial labor. The
work in that body is a Jealous master.
for it requires uninterrupted labor and
upqualied devotion, Mr.. Guggenheim
Will soon ascertain that others than
himself must manage his smelling and
mining business. leaving him entirely
free 20 serve the public, if he would
live up to the high ideal which he has
set for himself, but doing this and Civ
ing such conservation of himself there
is no reason why Mr., Guggenbeim
should not he as good Senator as If

JoSEPH'S BIG DEBT.

After telling his congregation in the
Tabernacle the other day what kind of

and female-the venerable prophet,

launched into his customary defense of
himself Having worked up passion

as the Meritorious One Of this gener,
alton. In reporting that part of his
sermon, the Deseret News, his organ,
says;
In conclusion, President Smith said
that he did not desire TO injure any man
or woman; that he would be sorry to
or harmful thing. From childhood he
had endeavored 10 do right, and II he
had wronged anyone. he would be glad 10

man must be gravelv conscious of
some wrong done 10 somebody when he
can scarcely deliver a public sermon
without offering to go half way to meet
anyone he may have injured in order
TO make that wrong right. it has be-
come notorious that Joseph F. Smith s
mind turns to this rhythmic statement
by himself that he loves all human kind
and would wrong no one, and if anyone
has a charge against him he is willing
to meet that person and make the
charge right And it is equally noto-
rious that when two or three different
men have called upon him he has met
these men more than half way-with
an order to depart from his presence
and enter into outer darkness.
This man ''owes nothing to all the
world, He owes an accounting to hu
manity for the money which he has
procured from humanity-and ne owes
an accounting to God for the misuse of
God s name, Furthermore. he owes 10
the law an atonement for the hagrant
violations of statute which he perpet-
uallr commits under a pretense that he
has license 10 live like an Oriental king

MORNING, e. 1907

some things which not even his best
friends would condone in anv one but
Roosevelt He has many times shown
hccdlcssness. and has not hesitated to
demonstrate his personal contempt for
public opinion and even his disregard
for the recognized rights and amenities
of human association. But never until
this event (again supposing for the
moment that the Republican Press is
correct) has he deliberately announced
his intention to evade existing law, to
prevent the passage of remedial statutes
and TO ignore and nullifv new law if
such shall be secured
1t is to be hoped that President
Roosevelt will correct the impression
which the account in the New York
Press will have created in the public
mind. If he shall leave this matter as
it now stands upon the authority Of an
administration journal, it is greatly to
bs feared that his fellow citizens will
accept the account which appears In
the New York Press ms having been de-
liberately directed by him; and his fell
low-citizens will conclude that be, above
all other men In the Nation pledged
TO support the law, has determined to
nullifv law and scorn the Constitution.
If the report had appeared solely in
Democratic newspaper. it would have
been denounced az a scandalous misrep-
resentation Of the chief executive, If
the story is false, il is an Infamous in

In MS pocket and carrying a half
gallon jug filled with the LIQUOR in
his hand, Fred Berry. aged about As
years, a cook of many years exper-
ience, started to walk from the camp
of the men working on the Palisade
pipe line to the town Of Palisade.
This was yesterday afternoon. Ber-
ry had been discharged from his po-
sition as cook for the camp owing to
his continual drunkenness, and he
started out for Pallsade. He must
have walked straight down the rail-
road track, and apparently never
gave a thought to the fact that Rio

was Slipping up behind him.

saw the man walking along the track,
but naturally supposed he would step
on, and did not stop the train. The
whistle was blown, but eBrry paid
no attention and In another, moment
he was struck by the engine and
knocked from the track. The train
was then stopped and the fatally in
jured man taken aboard and brought
into Palisade. 1t was found that he
was injured internally, and after suf-
fering great agony he died at 3:30
O'Clock.
Undertaken Krohn of this city was
notified and rove to Palisade and
brought the body to this city.
The deceased was a member of the

was evidently not in good standing.
He had no letters on his person. only
