REPUBLICAN CLUB ELECTION.

The Young Mems Republican CLUB
which for some time has not been
as active as it might, has taken
tumble to itself and resolved to get
into business The club members held
an important meeting Saturday even
ing for the election of officers and
such other business as might prop
erly come up. 1t was lively meeting
and views were exchanged without
ceremony, showing that tie organl-
cation is alive, but there was no
acrimony and no bad feeling After
lively contest J. J. Greenewald was
chosen for president and his election
was made unanimous. Mr.. Greene
wald is almost the banner Republican
of the state and couple of years ago
was appointed collector of customs
of the port of Salt Lake, and, now
fills the office to the utmost salts
faction of the department, and with
honor to himself. 1t was urged
against Mr.. Greenewald that he was
put forward for financial reasons, that
is, that he had the ability to raise
funds when the party needed money
for legitimate purposes.
Jake at the head of the club will
put vim and life into it and make it
real power for the good OF the
party.
Harry S. Joseph was chosen as
vice-presdent by reclamation. Par
ley P. Jensen was elected secretary
and w. II. Farnsworth treasurer.
They are good set of officers and,
if we mistake not, the club will in the
future be a potent factor in the coun-
ellis of the Republican party i'll this
city.

S E N A T o R A L G E R.

The reviews OF Russell a. Ayers
career as printed in the daily press,
the Literary Digest says, reveal
curious picture of mingled success
and failure. Beginning to fight his
own way at ten, as a penniless or
phan, he won honor and rank as
soldier, acquired millions of dollars,
became Governor of Michigan and
Secretary of War, and died a United
States Senator. But as the Boston
Transcript remarks, few men hgur-
ing conspicuously in American poll
tics of the last half-century have been
more steadily the storm-center OF
controversy Because his talents
were commercial, not political, says
the New York World, Russell A.
Ayers political career was "a long
drawn-out tragedy Of errors" 1t was
the accident of the Spanish American
war, asserts the same paper that made
General Alger "the most conspicuous
failure among the captains of indus
try who have sought political dis
tlnction"; but, "he was not the first
and will not be the last" The World
finds in his career "an impressive
reiutation of the cant theory that bus
mess men are peculiarly fitted to
grapplc with the questions OF govern
mcnt," On this text it continues:
In the campaign of 1896 General
Alger organized that theatrical junket

of the generals, and as reward he
was made Secretary of War in Pres
dent MeKinleys Cabinet. His APP
pointment was justified by the Ad-
ministration on the ground that he
was an able business man, and busi-
ness ability was the thing peculiarly
needed in the administration of the
War Department.
But when the Spanish American
war came, the business administra-
ton collapsed like house of cards.
The Secretary was helpless. There
never was an hour in which he had
the affairs of the department. we'll in
hand, and he was so astonished by his
failure that he could not even COM
prehcnd the extent of it. Naturally
enough, in the storm of criticism the
Secretary's personal integrity was
cruelty and unjustly assailcd, but the
public had been told so often that
Secretary Alger was a highly Sue
cessful business man and that admin
istcring the War Department was a
mere matter of business, that it re-
fused to understand how there could
be failure without dishonesty. The
simple fact was that the machinery of
the department was inadequate, and
something more than mere business
experience and ability was required
to organize it and make it do its
,,.arly IL, ,,.hr, E,,tl,,
worked out the problem
That he was a target for public
criticism after the Spanish American
war, says the New York Times, was
more his misfortune than his fault"
In fact, i'll the order announcing his
death to the Army, the Administra
ton practically exonerates him. We
there read in part: He was gentle
kindly man, with great confidence in
his friends and associates, and was
much beloved by his subordinates.
He was the subject OF unjust criti
cism because of the country's unpre-
paredness for war when war came,
altho for this he was in no wise re-
sponsitle.' With the passing of
time. says The Evening Post, the
public has judged less harshly OF AL
ger. The New York Sun thus char
acterizes him:
"One of the hardest and most intel
ligently useful workers under McKin-
ley during the period of our war with
Spain, it was General Ayers lot as
Secretary of War to serve as the
lighteningrod of the Administration
and to draw upon his own head in
concentrated vigor and venom the
main force of the opposition to the
Administrations policies"
AS a Senator, says The Evening
Post, "he contributed little to the
weight or strength of the Senate, for
he frankly represented the corporate
interests against which popular feel
ing has been of late running so
strong" During the Civil War he ac-
quilted himself CALAMITY in sixty-six
battles and skirmishes; and at the
last, the dispatches state, he died in
harness as was his wish"

honoring and sustaining the law.
Mr.. Mcmillan states that the Nor
mons stood on this article, and it
was Mormons who murdered 1870
peaceful people at Mountain Meadows
i'll 1857
Mr.. Mcmillan quotes from John ID.
Lee, who was executed for murder to
give this artle a reverse meaning.
Mr.. Mcmillan advcrtiscs to the world
(and the Presbyterian Board of Home
Missions are distributing his false
hoods) that the majority of the peo-
pie of Utah were taught to murder,
that they did murder and they now
stand on articles of faith which now
teaches them to murder. Another
tract which the Presbyterian Board
of Home Missions is distributing is
from the Salt Lake Tribune, entitled,
Some Startling Disclosures OF an
Awful Community Condition" This
tract is too vile to comment on. 1t
pictures Utah as a community of lewd
women, our homes as harcms, Our
men as adultcrers, and our children
as bastards
All of the anti-Utah and anti Nor
mon tracts which it distributes are
false and misleading in the highest
degree. There is just enough truth
in them to make them real and an
awful lie No possible good can come
from these tracts except to add
few tainted dollars to the Presbyterian
Board of Home Missions. But they
do bring reproach upon Utah. They
brighten away capital and immigrants
and are the things which make Broth
er Weir ashamed of Utah. The
Presbyterian preachers or the Minis
tcrial association could stop their sale
if they wanted to, but as they are the
writers, instigators, and the promot-
crs of these tracts we can look for
no help from them.
! see by the Inter Mountain Rcpub-
lican that the Commercial club, the
Manufacturers and Merchants asso-
citation and the Real Estate Men of
Salt Lake City are trying to raise
$4,000 to advertise Utah. That may
be all right in a way, but it certainly
shows lack of good judgment. Sup
pose that the people of Salt Lake
were all getting the typhoid fever and
it was ascertained that it all came
from impure drinking water from City
Creek, and it was further known that
gang of people were polluting the
water just above the intake by throw
ing old dead carcasses and other foul
matter into it that breed typhoid few
er germs, and knowing the above the
City Council should vote $4,000 to
build liberation plant to purify the
water, when little sand" and $500
i'll money would stop the pollution.
That is the exact Utah situation,
Utah is generally known as having
the best climate, the best minerals,
the best farms and the finest scenery
in the world, but the good name her

states.
am not writing this article to de-
fend the Mormon church for any overt
acts it may or may not have commit
ted, or to defend it in any way, but
am writing it to defend Utah, and II
in defending my state, | defend the
Mormon church, | plead guilty. If
the majority of the people of Utah
were Mlethodists, Baptists or Pres
byterians, | would do the same.

or newspaper which will get SO low,
narrow, and biggoted, that they will
injure and bring reproach upon their
own homes and state, for the sake
of injuring some religious denomina-
ton, should be handed lemon
and told to hit the trail. Utah
is the best state in the Union. Her
students rank higher physically, NOR
ally and intellectually in the eastern
colleges than the students from any
other state. Utah has a greater per-
centage of students attending school
and less percentage of paupers, illt-
crates, criminals and inebriates than
any other state. More people in Utah
in proportion to population own the
farms they live on and her farmers
are frecr from debt than those of any
other state. Utah's people are kind,
conservative, progressive, honest, cdu
Gated, moral, and up to date. Yet
the Tribune and the Ministerial asso-
citation are polluting it by advertising
that it is the worst state and has the
vilest people.
What the Commercial Club, the NJ.

exchange should do, is take on little

Ministerial association that they are
not afraid of them, appoint a joint
committee and investigate the tracts
that are being distributed in the east
against Utah. Filter the falsehoods
of the Tribune. Make the Tribune
and the Ministerial association prove
what they have said. If they cannot,
then show them up as liars, traitors,
and slanderers in neat circular let
ter. That will stop their polluting
Utah. Five hundred dollars spent on

some will say that the rules of those
societies or clubs do not allow their
interference in religious affairs. There
is however, absolutely no religion
whatever in the anti Utah and anti
Mormon tracts sent out by the Min
isterial association, or the Prcsby-
terrain Board of Home Missions. The

Won't Plead Guilty

Washington, July IA repre-
sentative Of the American Tobacco
company said today there was no
truth in the published report that
the company was planning to divide
the trust into nominally indepenJ-
ent corporations so as to meet the
approval of the government, before
the latter's suit for monopoly comes
up for trial.
This denial can be put down as
coming from Mr.. Duke and the other
officials of the company" he added.
1--WE will make answer to the gov
ernment's complaint in the proper
place-that is, in the United States
courts"
Edwin p. Grosvenor, specia. as
sistant to the attorney general, also
doubted the truth Of the report.
Neither Mr.. McReynolds nor himself
had had, be said, any intimatlon
from the tobacco concern that its
were in a contrite mood
for their alleged sins and were ready
to confess their monopoly Of the to-
bacco business

"Paducah enjoys the finest freight
