All mon who come before the public
either in good or bad light, are subject

sanctity.
Joseph F. Smith is no better than the
great men of this Nation, and he is
perhaps no worse than the other wicked
men of this country-and he must take
the fate common TO all.
To assume that the Commercial Club
of this community must engage in any

its chief aim the guardianship of his
feelings, is to assume that the CONNER

PROTECTION OF TRAINS.

The shocking death of President
Spencer of the Southern Pacific railway
system has awakened an enormous
amount of discussion. Ii has directed
renewed attention to the defective ap-
pliances. or the defective working of
the supposedly perfect Preventives Of
serious accidents
Among all the articles that have ap-
peared, we have seen none that so
we'll describes the systems in use
TO that end, as that which we repro
duce on this page this morning from
the New York Sun. Besides giving a
lucid description of the systems in use,
and their different forms as used, it
shows that a faithful adherence 10 the
actual block system in its best features
is an absolute preventive of accident,
so far rs train operations arc con
cerned. The trouble. is, that lapses
from the rigors of the standard are
permitted. and these are the cause
Of the repeated accidents. But it is
clear from the article that the system
III use on LHc ppeHceH iodhs was, III LEe
words Of the writer of that article. "no
block system at all,
1t only remains TO be added that
there have been a number OF accidents
from the same general trouble that
caused the Que which resulted in
President Spencer S awful death.
since that lamentable occurrence The
block system is an absolute guard
against accidents. when it is made in
fact, and vigorously, nm actual black
system Bat block system not en-
forced properly and diligently is a
peril that amounts to a fraud upon the
public, in promising a protection and
an immunity from danger that it does
not in fact afford.

SICK ENOUGH.

The Tribune is reminded by an old
timer and a close observer of events in
Utah that the Mormon church is now
slck enough TO be a saint.
He remembers the day when any one
who criticized the hierarchy was IN dam
ger of consignment 10 the neither re-
gious. In that period of their pleni
tude of power they fought the Gentilcs
and Independent Mormons with an in
tensity that gave no quarter and with
a tyranny that recognized no such thing
as justice or mercy. But when their
own hour of travail came they were
quick TO supplicate. Then who so be-
ngn as they, Who SO considerate of
the fraternity which should exist among
mankind
They procured Statehood by the bene-
faction of the Gentiles here whom they
had fought through the years. When
sovereignty WAS theirs, they seized its
power and used IT (and this applies
particularly TO Joseph r. SMITH to pro-
tect them in their wicked purposes
And now once more when they are
exposed and arc in danger Of an aroused
Nation. they crawl again and beg the
commercial interests--which they have
boycotted and sought to injure-to
| come to their rescue.
The Gentle business men of this com
munity, according TO OldTimer, owe
not hing to the Mormon hierarchy. That
they are here is in defiance of. and not
because of. any courtesy Of Joseph f..
Smith or his kind He would that not
Gentle should exist in this State Of
Utah. Every advancement of the com
| monwealth in public schools. in great
| churches. in fraternlties, in mining and
| smelling, have been made against his
will and against his work. He never
/ buys n dollar s worth of goods from any
| Gentle business man If ne can procure
| the goods elsewhere; and he never per
| mits one of his family or any one under
| his control to make purchase from any
| Gentle store His whole attitude would
| indicate that he thinks IL righteous to
| take from the Gentle on any and every
| possible pretext to enrich himself and
to I'll the Golfers of his church.
OldTimer thinks that Smith shows
| more gall than any other man that ever
lived, when he asks business organizs-
tions, consisting largely of Gentiles, TO

WYOMING CONFIDENCE.

Mr.. L. G. Davis Of Saratoga, Wyo.
ming told the Washington Post the 9th.
er day that confidence in Senator Fran.
els E. Warren of his State is so great
tnat when accusations were made
against has integrity they were simply
brushed aside as Of no consequence.
That expression uncovers an element
OF danger which seems to be an out
growth Of the American governmental
institution. Senator Knox of Pennsvl.
yaDla made the matter plain recently,
if he uttered the following, which has
been credited 10 him: ''Give dog
good name, and he can bite anybody
without fear of the consequences
1t is unfair 10 Senator Warren for
citizens TO make imperious disposition
of any accusations which may have
been brought against him, on the
ground that confidence in him justifes
disregard of these charges. The charges
being presumably false, they were vet
Of so grave a nature that an injustice
would be done toward the distinguished
friends who entertain feelings Of con-
fidence IN his integrity, il they were
merely swept aside without any oppor-
tunlty for proper vindication. As The
Tribune recalls the situation, it has
been said Of Senator Warren that he
rented building 10 the Government;
that he was personally interested in All
electric hight contract with the military
post near Cheyenne; that he had fenced
thousands of acres of public lands; all
contrary to law and regulation pro-
vided in these matters And since
these accusations were made. an official
Of the land department has declared
publicly that Senator Warren hampered
him in the performance of his duty and
finally procured his removal from the
Geld Of his activity because of his op.
position TO some of the Senator's sup
posed operations.
The greater the falsity of these
charges the larger the reason for full
aud proper investigation, because Of the
asserted intimacy Of Mr. Warren with
the Government land .department--the
commissioner having been beneficiary
| Of the Senator's influence in the ap.
| poin,ment of that official. On account
| OF this supposed intimacy some people
| might attach more Importance to the
| charges than in reality would belong TO
them; and for this reason, and in JUS.
| tee to the Senator, his friends should
refuse TO have them "'brushed aside; -
and they should demand such scrutiny
as would completely relieve Mr.. Warren
OF any attempt to cast odium upon his

TO RUN THE RAILWAYS.

4 reason for Governor Frank Good
ing's elaborate correspondence with
Manager Bancroft of the Oregon Short
Line Railway company is now appa-
rent. 1t was preparing the way for a
recommendation 10 the Legislature OF
Idaho to pass radical legislation con
cerning railways-to provide FOR a
commission and to place the control of
the railway company's property and
thc conduct of the railway company S
business IN the hands of others.
It was the comment at the time
when Gooding gave publicity to his
peculiar letters to Mr.. Bancroft, that
he probably entertained such purpose,
and his message substantiates that
Judgment.
The sincerity OF Gov. Gooding may
we'll be doubted in view of the
monstrous misrepresentation of his
communications on the coal question.
First. he sent a purported commissioner
to examine into the coal situation in
Idaho, and it is only necessary TO
show the lack Of genuine intention on
the part of the executive to say that
the emissary thus selected was about
as competent to determine the great
coal problem within the time allotted
and within any other time. for that
matter-as he would be to build a
railway TO the moon. The coal sisua.
tion was taxing the ability Of the
strongest and most experienced men in
the country; but Goodings emissary
settled all the questions pertaining
TO it ofrhand and by the most
nsgrant disregard of facts and common
deceucy. Direct falsehood was EN-
ployed in preparing the case against
the transportation companies, as was
clearly demonstrated by the reply of
Mr.. Bancroft. who showed that even
in the time of car shortage some of
the coal companies had been served
with more ears than they could use.
1t was the labor situation which pre-
vented them from making as large
an output as the consumers demanded,
and as large an output as the railway
companies were prepared to handle,
There are many wrongs in the rail
way service which need correction;
and. as never before in the history of
this country, the companies themselves
and the National Government are seek
ing most zealously and earnestly TO
remedy these wrongs Probably the
most dangerous and difficult obstacle
which they will encounter is the dema-
gogy of such a movement as that
Of Governor Gooding OF Idaho. some of
whose informants deliberately mis-
stated the situation, who was evi~
IDENTIFY desrous to make some cheap
fame for himself by intervening in a
matter Of this kind when the approved
remedy is being applied by the com
panies and the National Government
AS The Tribune pointed out some time
ago. the abuses went on year after
year, and some Of the local reformers
never dreamed Of applying 2 correc-
tive; but Just so soon as the evils are
exposed, are measured. and are being
eradicated, the demagogues rush in
and seek TO obtain false credit for
themselves BY mal.activi:v which
can only inlure the cause which they
profess TO serve.

HUGHES IS RIGHT.

What a Governor can do To inspire
public confidence in righteous civic life
is being demonstrated IN these first
days of his administration by Charles
F.. Hughes, chief executive Of the State
of New York.
Upon his record OF determined and
successful demand for the punishment
of evil doers in high places, Mr., Hughes
was elected TO his present station, With
dignity and n selt"poisc altogether
! admirable, he maintained his difficult
position Of Governor elect from the
tered upon his great duties with The
opening of the new year. He declined
to engage in any political plotting or
to show subserviency TO mere partisan
interests. He refused to give inter
views concerning his intentions, except
to announce publicly that he would
stand for the enforcement of law and
an honest discharge Of the public trust.
Within his first week Governor
Hughes has justified the encomiums of
the past and has given evidence that
he will continue to deserve the people s
regard. His message was n great doe
ument. aud in no one particular did 1T
show that he holds the truth and the
peoples rights as being dearer than
office-bctter than praise and moro TO
be guarded than himself from blame
than in his recommendation for re-
count of the votes for the mayoralty
of New York City cast in the election
OF one year ago. Disastrous as might
have been the triumph of William Ran
dolph Hearst, who was then candidate
against George B. Mcclellan, the then
incumbent who succeeded himself
there was a widespread feeling on the
part of even the opponents of Mr..
Hearst that fraud had been perpetrated
gin of 34S5 votes in Mcclellan s favor
was an outrageous theft.
The decent citizenship Of New York
City would prefer that Mcclellan had
been elected Mayor; but better than
the service of Mcclellan as Mayor if
he were not elected, would De an honest
count Of the votes,
Governor Hughes is starting right.
Much of the iniquity of political life
in the Empire State originates in the
treachery OF election officials who uti-
lize their power to subvert the will OF
the people. Bad as Hearstism is. ii is
not to be avoided by frauds on the
baIloJbo The surest way TO eliminate
Hearstism and all kindred isms from
their influence upon public life in the
United States is 10 give the people a
free ballot and an honest count.
For his determination in this matter
and similar questions, Governor Charles
f. Hughes OF New York is entitled to
the commendation of all the patriotic
people of this Republic. II he shall
continue to be as good a Governor as
he demonstrates himself to be in these
early days of his administration there
might possibly be an early cal! for him
TO go up higher.
