At the session Of the senate Friday
morning an interesting debate was
precipitated by a bill introduced by
Senator Gordy, placing all marriage
licenses at so instead Of $3.50 or $1.75
as it now is in several counties. Sen
ator Hayes introduced an amendment
to the effect that the licenses should
cost only $3.50. Quite number OF
the senators placed themselves on rec
ord as being in harmony with the
views of President Roosevelt on the
question Of race suicide" and in elo-
Quent speeches pleaded that the Ii
cense fee be placed at $3.50, so that
no impedlment be placed in the way
OF any young man who had an ambi-
ton to become a benedict. Senator
Hayes said that he was in harmony
with the vlews OF Mr.. Roosevelt. and
that he wanted all the young men to
get married who SO desired Senator
Knight pleaded for the unmarried
members Of the senate, and urged the
adoption of the amendment. Others
who spoke in favor of the amendment
were Senator's Peacock and Camp AT
this point Senator Gordon moved that
his bill be tabled, and by a close vote
in which the presiding officer partici-
pated. the bill was tabled and the
regular routine of the senate contin-
ued. The house bill by Mr. Gambler,

GOVERNOR LOSES SIXTY THOUSAND
When He Attaches Els Signature to the

Georgia Prohibition Bill.
When Governor Hoke Smith aff1xes
his signature to the Georgia prohibi-
ton bill it will be to deprive himself
OF 100000. 1t is said that the governor
will lose that sum because under pro.
hibition the bar of the Piedmont hotel.
the finest in Atlanta, will be closed.
The lease calls for a lowering in rent
if prohibition closes the bar. Governor
Smith owns one-third of the Piedmont
hotel and as the total reduction be-
cause of prohibition will be s18O,OOO,
the governor will sign away just $780,
600.

The Joe Hill Hall anti-pass bill
came up for consideration in the
house "Wednesday during the full ses.
sion of that body, but was temporarily
tabled pending the printing Of It for
distribution among the members, and
was made the special continuous or.
der for August g. Immediately after
the confirmation of the journal. Coin.
cldent with this decision the house
ordered printed 300 copies Of the sub.
stltute for this measure, which was
offered with minority report from
the railroad committee, which report
cd fayorably the Hall bill. This same
committee at first reported favorably
the substitute. 1t was recommitted to
that committee by the house and the
second hearing resulted in a close vote
In favor OF the Hall bill, and this
time this bill was reported fayorably.
The main points of diffe renee between
the two measures are that the Hall
bin provides that no city, county or
state officials or nominated candidates
shall accept any courtesy from any
railroad, express, telegraph or tele-
phone company not given to all alike.
The substitute provides that no per-
son except paid employees of these
corporations shall be extended priyl
lege codrtesies. This substitute makes
the state law what is now the Hepburn
national law 1t is expected the bill
will preclpitate the liveliest kind Of
debate.

appearance in the house during the

amendment in regard to Topographic

by the bare nI1. y-y OF one there
was a quorum present in the house
on Friday and with that status or af-
fairs very little was attempted or ac-
compished The house set for special
order the bin of Mr.. Smith Of Campbell
to reorganize the state troops in ac-
cordance with the provisions Of the
Dick military law, 50 that this state
could receive annually $4,000 from the
federal government for the mainte-
nance of the state militia. The leg
islators were not quite sure as to the
meaning Of the measure and consider
able time was spent in explanations.
1t was not until Mr.. Gambler Of De
Kalb made it clear what the bill
meant was it voted upon and passed.
He explained: This bill simply has
the state troops organized in compli-
ance with the military regulations pre-
scribed in the Dick law If this bill
is passed and the troops so organized
the state will draw annually $4,000
for the support of her STATE militia.
1t it is not passed it will mean that
either our militia will be disbanded
or the state will have to appropriate
$4,000 annually to keep them up"
Following this statement the bill was
passed, In it there is provided that
the adjutant general shall receive an
annual salary Of $4,000 instead Of ST.
600, as Is now the case, but with this
there is a saving Of $72O, for the po-
sition of assistant adiutant general is
abolished.

The Central American republics
have agreed to let Presidents Roose-
welt and Diaz settle their differences.
We suppose they would as lief die
as be frightened to death by the big
stick.
As if it were not enough for the
President to scare Wall street out of
a years growth, the order for the
fleet to sail to the Pacific has thrown
the whole town into terror of a jap
anese bombardment.

on the contrary have established "an
effective and complete" boycott
against them. That is falsehood in
fact and in spirit. There is not a scn-
tilla of truth in it. Then by way of
comparison the Tribune says that
Gentle business houses such as Keith
O'Brien, Auerbach, Freed, Greene
valid, COIN the l. X. L. employ more
Mormons than Gcntiles. That's an
exceedingly poor compliment to the
Gentle clerks and others who work
on salaries. If it be fact that the
Gentle firms named employ more
Mlormons than Gentiles the only rea-
son is that the Mormons are more eff
ficient and more trustworthy than the
Genties. The firms named by the
Tribune are composed of business
men who do business on business prin-
ciple. They employ the best help rhey
can get None of them are noted for
peculiar philanthropy towards the
Mormons as class. The Tribune
puts its foot in its mouth every time
it speaks.
The junior American" organ,
yclept we Telegram, the other day
reiterated the old lie that the Nor
mons ever since the division on party
lines have scratched Gentle candi-
dates for public offices in favor of
Mormons. The Telegram, parrot like,
repeated the accusation that Mormon
voters shamefully (shamefully is a
stereotyped word with the editor OF
the Yellowgrnm) slaughtered Gen
tile candidates, picking out the Nor
mons on each ticket and voting for
them. The record of elections fol

the past 10 years or more entirely and
completely disproves that statement.
On the contrary the record proves
that it was the Gentiles who were
not true to party lines when it came
to question between Mormon ana
Gentle. In other words the Gentiles
did exactly what the editor OF the
Telegram accuses the Mormons OF
having done. We have even heard
Gentiles who were elected to office
largely by Mormon voters boasting
that they never voted for Mormon
for any office and wouldn't do so.
Everybody knows that this paper has
no Mormon affiliations, but it loves
fair play and square deal.
At the same time last year that the
Tribune was bowling that the "hier..
arch" had defeated the American"
party. Chairman Jerry Darmer was
confdentially telling his friends that
the Mormon church had nothing to
do with it; that the railroad and
smelter companies had betrayed
them.
Remember, on election day, citizens
of Salt Lake, that if the americans"
had won the election one year ago,
