OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

If any newspaper or magazine ar
ticle referring to the denomination OIL
President Roosevelt. has mentioned
that il he accepts such nomination he
breaks his pledged word and thus
smirches Il record unequalled In all OF
our line CT presidents. the writer has
failed to read it. on the contrary we
have editorials in some of our most
influential papers. proving to the au-
thors thereof, satisfaction, that with
such Il tremendous. almost unanimous
sentiment in favor of his denomination,
he has no choice in the matter he must
break his word, and he must stultify
his numerous statements that he would
not accept Il denomination. In other
words Roosevelt must descend to the
level of the ordinary politician and
say one thing and do another And
right here this writer wishes to go on
record as believing that Thee Roose-
welt will be the first man that has
ever refused the nomination. The
writer has to brace himself every lit
tie while to avoid n feeling that all
mon have their price. but think in this
case he can retain an ideal that at
least we have one prominent Ameri-
can politician and statesman, whose
word is as good as his bond"
Perhaps the writer is getting old
fashioned. 1t must be he is not in touch
with the times. when our public men
of Iowa, among them Governor Cum
Minis, Representatives Hull. Lacey,
Hepburn and even Senator Allison. all
think he will be renominated and
forced 10 accept such nomination.
These prominent Iowans virtually
say that Roosevelt's statement on the
night Of election, is not to be
accepted as the truth. but was the i'm
pulsive statement of a man laboring
under stress of excitement, and words
if future demand became overwhelm
ing. that can be retracted without dis
honor to Roosevelt. These prominent
men of Iowa virtually say that in poll
tics. all statements are subject to re-
vision. always provided that circum-
stances demand such revision and ne
cation. Once more this writer will eX-
press ar opinion that these wise men
of Iowa, do not understand the charac-
ter of Theodore Roosevelt as well as
this private citizen.
And right here comes a chance for
moralizing Why is it that the theory
is so prevalent that everything is fair
in love and war"-and politics. 1t
does not occur to the referred to public
men of Iowa, to thousands of public
men all over the country. to hundreds
of editors and writer's, all anxious for
his denomination, that if Roosevelt
does accept denomination, by that
very act he belittles himself and brings
his magnificent reputation and career
down to the level of other politicians
The day he accepts such denomination
under amy circumstances, he steps off
the highest pedestal ever occupied by
an American citizen, and becomes one
of the common herd-of politicians. He
verified the statements of his enemies.
Hes been playing politics. And
again let this writer say, he does not
believe that Theodore Roosevelt will
accept denomination.

The Tribune has always been COW
ertly an enemy of President Roose-
welt Latterly it has come out more
openly. Tom Kearns, when he had a
seat in the United States Senate
tried to fool the president but didn't
succeed. Since then Kearns and his
press organs have had no use for
Roosevelt. In the last general cleo
ton the Tribune in half hearted way
pretended to be for the Republican
presidential electors, but in reality it
tried every means in its power to de-
feat the republican state ticket in
GLIDING congressman. Now it wants
to bring Mr.. Roosevelt into its fight
on the Mormon people and to make
that excuse for supporting the demo-
cratic ticket in 1908. It's argument
will be that the democrats of the
United States Senate as party OPP
posed Senator Smoot, while the re-
publicans voted that he was entitled
to his seat; ergo the republicans of
the senate are "Jack" Mormons and
anything Mormon or anything that
is fair to the Mormons should be an

The Inter Mountain Republican is
stopping over" considerably in an eff
fort to "boost" the Rev. Benjamin
Young and the Rev. Peter Simpkin.
They are both good fellows TO be
sure, savoring little however of
those good Lord good devil sort OF
people. They belong to the Minister
al association but don't go the whole
hog" in backbiting their neighbors
with that organization. In fact if it
were not for the christian charity"
of the ministers they would be in i'm
minent danger of being ''cut off,"
They manage, however, to keep with
in the danger line and at the same
time work into the good graces of the
anti Americans crowd and burst
out every now and then with some
thing with an air of freedom, from
religious bigotry. When anybody
shows a disposition towards fairness
they should be encouraged, but not
stopped over. 1t couldn't be proved
of course, but we rather think that
both Rev. Young and Simpkin voted
the Amerikearns ticket at the election
last year and that they will do the
same trick next autumn.

been the custom. On Saturdays this

For several weeks the Herald has
taken some pretty direct, truthful,
and forceful shots at the Ameri-
kearns party. 1t looked as II the
Herald was going to be real demo-
cratic paper. Some people believed
) it had concluded to be genuine, but
a good many others who had had
years of experience of the Herald
said it was only fooling and that
there was niger in the wood pile.
Past experience has established be-
yond a reasonable doubt that the
Herald is an Amerikearns organ in
disguise.
Last Saturday Truth published an
article regarding the next municipal
election, the trend of which was that
in the interest of public welfare the
good, law-abiding citizens, repub-
Leans and democrats, should combine
and put a consolidated ticket in the
field in order to make sure of the de-
feat of the corrupt, grating, incompe-
tent Americans party which now
rules and loots the municipality.
This article promptly brought forth
long editorial in the Tribune max
ing the false statements that there
were no real politics in Utah, that
democrats were democrats because
the Mormon church told them 10 be
democrats and that republicans were
republicans for the same reason, that
the Amerikearrs party was the only
real genuine political thing in Utah.
The idea of anything that would
knock the Tribune and the other
grafters off the shoulders of the peo-
pie is very distasteful and very alarm
ing to the gang hence the Tribune's
hasty and heated objection to Truths
suggestion of means of Kidding the
community of the grafters.
Immediately on top of the Trib-
uile artcle comes the Herald with
an editorial against combination to
defeat the Amerikearns crowd, al
though the Herald knows, if it knows
anything, that the democrats, which
1t falsely purports to represent, have
no more show of carrying a precinct
at a municipal, county, or state cleo
ton, than the proverbial SNOWFALL
has to maintain its entity in hades.
There is a perfect understanding be-
tween the Herald and the leaders
of the Americans party just as
there has been for years. The Her
aid is the Amerikearns party organ
in disguise.

SECRET SESSIONS AND THE
PAPERS.

The Tribune and Herald have been
making great ado because the board
of education held an executive ses-
sion to consider the teachers which
it would engage for next year for the
public schools. Those asinne sheets
pretend that they think there was
some sinister motive locked up in
the breasts of the members of the
board. This is very inconsistent in
the Tribune especially, as when Col
onel Nelson, one of the multtudinous
editors of the Tribune, honored the
board by being a member of it, he
was the peculiar champion of execu-
tive sessions and there were good
many of those kind of sessions in
those days. 1t was woe betide the
reporter representing any paper but
the Tribune who came "snooping"
around to get a cline" on the pro-
ceedings of those executive sessions
in which the military editor of the
Tribune took part. However that's
ancient history. What we started to
say was that when the board of edu-
cation meets to employ teachers, it
thoroughly canvassess the names of
the applicants. Their records, as to
efficiency, morality and so forth are
infinitely inquired into. Applicants
for positions are discussed freely.
Their short comings, their faults and
their virtues are talked over as would
be the case with any corporation or
firm employing help. Many things
come up both for and against the APP
plicants for positions, which it would
be an absolute wrong to make public,
even to mention outside the board
room. The Tribune no doubt would
like to get hold of anything that it
cor'd use against teachers or any
bod else whom it has a grudge
against. The Tribune's policy is to
crush those it can't control. Its pol
icy, however, hasn't been very sue
cessful for long time Since in 1901
it has lost every cause it espoused.

sentiments can never be entirely clear

out Of a hole into which he has plunged,
il is the steady goers that have to do

MANY RENOITES STRICKEN

Reno Gazette Jan. 81: An epidemic

sible for medical skill to cope and
which proves fatal in every case. seems
to have Reno in its grip and the local
physicians are baffied to ascertain the
cause of the peculiar disease or to de-
termine how to stay it's ravages. No
less than nine people have died from
meningitis this month.
Nearly every disease which absorbs
the vitality Of the patient is accompani-
ed by meningal symptoms from which
the patient usually RECEIVERS but the
prevalent epidemic presents phases diff
ferent from those presented by any
similar case that has come under the
notice Of the medical profession here.
During the past month nearly every
case of la grippe or mild form of pueu-
monia has developed rapidly into a
meningial form, the germ of the disease
seeming to attack the meningial tissues
Of the brain directly and there is no
cure for this known to the medical
science.
The doctors have arrived at this con
clusion after careful diagnosis of the
cases that have attracted their atten-
ton during the past month.
