"Utahns." !"

1t is perhaps news to many easterners
that out in the state of Utah residents of
that commonwealth are usually mentioned
in print as 'Utahns." Come to think of it.
this is an awkward appearing title. Some
how or other one is likely to blame a type
setter for it's grotesque get-up. But it is
all right 1t is true to the base word.
Nevertheless. the dwellers in that state
would be pardoned a secret desire that
the name of their political subdivision
ended with some other letter than n

are so spelled that they are wholly un-
suited to use in the framing of popular
titles for their dwellers. Who ever hears
of a Connecticuter or q Connecticutian? ?

Taft in Kentucky.

AS If in reply to Mr.. Foraker's prodding-
though it may have been his original pur-
pose-Secretary Taft at Lexington, KY,
yesterday took up the race question as en-
bodied in the suffrage laws of the lower
southern states. 1t cannot be said, how
ever. that he contributed anything to the
solution of the problem. The English or
his deliverance is that he approves of the
nullified amendments to the Constitution,
but is against their enforcement. He re-
alizes that they are nullified, and that they
carry a penalty for the act but he does not
demand the penalty, planting himself upon
the broad optimism that everything will
work out all right in the end. This will
suit John Sharp Williams and the demo-
cratic leaders who hold with him.
What Secretary Taft said in praise of
what Booker Washington IS doing for his
people was well said. 1t is work OF the
highest value to both races, but particularly
to the negro race, for whether the negro Is
ever to regain the ballot in the south or
not he is vitally interested in making HIM
self a useful member of the community,
and will greatly benefit by acquiring a
home and a competency. He should lay up
treasure where the politicians cannot break
through and steal
These remarks were not intended for the
kentuCkianS. Ihe negro mas not Deeu ue-
spoiled of his ballot there. With the power
to do it. the democrats have refused to 90 1t.
Whenever the suggestion has been made
1t has never come from a high source-the
better class of democrats have put 1t under
foot; and that class co-operated with the
negro vote in carrying the state for Bradley
for governor in 1895. in virtually carrying
it for Mckinley in 1896, and in rejecting
Goebel at the polls in 1899. The worst
use to which the negro vote has ever
been put in Kentucky has been in city
contests. where the liquor interests seeking
privilege have, under democratic leadership,
appealed to it.
The wisdom of this visit of Secretary
Taft is to be doubted Republican pros
poets in Kentucky are bright, but they
grow wholly out of local questions and con-
ditions. No machine-not Croker's, nor
Quay's, nor German n's-was ever more re-
morseless than is that of Gov. Beckham
today 1t dominates everything, and we
have the word of Henry Watterson that,
under it, Kentucky is the worst governed
state in the Union. There being neither a
negro nor a tariff problem in the state
this year. but first and foremost a local
problem of good and clean government.
why not have held strictly to the text,
and asked for vote solely on matters Of
local concern?

that indicate Il speedy settlement of the
difficulty between the city of Oshkosh
and the Winncbago Traction company,

high potential wires of the Oshlosh-Nce-

agreed to make application ut once for
a franchise for stringing its high poten-
tial wires on one or two routes removed
from Nam street. The company up to
this time has had no franchise for its
interurban line inside the city.
The company agrees to make the ncces-

this, the city will give the company per-
mission to connect the wires that were
cut and resume it's traffic
