Lyric here for a line of burlesque plays
which operated through two seasons
at a heavy loss, and was then aban-
doned.
Meanwhile the competition grew live-
lier farther west. In New York it eX-
hibited itself in the efforts of Mr.. Cort
to make New York impression first
with Florence Roberts, as q star and
then with "The Alaskan" both Of
which gained for him general recogni-
ton The starring Of Theodore Torch,
and the routing of him through to New
York was Il move of the other forces,
and two years ago the competition
reached an acute stage, in which each
side thought the possession of the
whole northwest essential to its sur
vival.
How it has come out is indicated in
the fact that While the new Colonial
has been built to care for the Iilaw &

With four Salt Lake theaters dlvid-
ing a patronage between them that only
five years ago couldn't keep two thea
tiers entirely out of financial hot water,
the Christmas holiday season is to see
the opening of still another showhouse.
This Will be 1.-THE Lyceum," under the
!, management of John Cort who also
controls the recently opened new CO.

A special from DanVille, H., says:
With all the talk throughout the
country about the chances Of defeat
ing Speaker Cannon for another term
in congress, the people of Danville
and the neighbors of Uncle Joe" are
convinced that there is not the slight
est danger in the world of his being
compelled to remain at home
Why, out here in Danville the peo-
pie look upon. Uncle joe as the
towns best asset and they have never
had any other thought than to keep
him in office all of his life. They
have seen the unusual fight against
him this year and they have heard
that in other sections of the country
candidates WHO refused to vote against
Uncle Joe" for speaker have been
defeated for denomination, while 9TH
ers to save themselves have repudi-
ated Uncle Joe" and his czar-like
methods of running the country. But
with all this the people of Danville
are ready to stand by Uncle Joe" al
most to voter.
Why?
Well, because Uncle Joe" is by far
the best advertisement tie town of
Danville ever had.

in 1904 and give the electoral vote OF
Iowa to Bryan. But this estimated
republican detection in state which
has long been a stronghold of that
party is significant inasmuch as II
shows the tremendous force of the
current toward democracy in other
states of the west, where there are
no such majorities to overcome. There
fore, if the estimate of the loss of re
publican votes in Iowa is correct, the
election of Bryan may be predicted
with absolute confidence.
In all the states of the middle west
many thousands of farmers have turn
ed to Bryan in spite of the fact that
they have been blessed with abundant
crops. They are supporting him be
cause there is not an article of neces
Sity, except such as they produce, OF
which the prices are not controlled by
the trusts. Their vision has cleared
wonderfully in recent years and today
they see that On their plows and har.
vesters, the lumber they use, the wire
fences which enclose their farms. the
carpets in their homes, the glass in
their windows and on almost every
thing they buy, they are compelled tc
pay a heavy tribute to some tariff
bred monopoly.
The fact is there are none who are
so much despoiled by the predatory
tariff system as the American farm
ers and workingmen, yet it is pre-.
tended by the defenders and bene
ficiaries of the system in the face OF
the most convincing evidence of the
absurdity of the pretention, that II
scheme which robs the masses of the
people OF their earnings and enriches
monopoly, is the agency of our nation
al prosperity. Today the farmers OF
the west know how deep the tariff
cuts into the profits of their toll
hence they are turning to democracy
as the only party that promises tc
give them relief from the robbery they
have suffered for many years.

Some of the gentlemen who favor
the amendment that, if adopted by
the people, would empower the legis-
lature to fix the salaries of judges,
say that the salaries of circuit judges
should not be uniform, and If the leg
-islature were authorized to fix the
compensation the judges who reside
where living is expensive could be
paid more than those who live where
it is inexpensive.
There is nothing in the amendment
that authorizes the legislature to vote
different salaries to the different
judges and there is nothing which
forbids it to do so. We defer to the
opinions of those who say this might
be done, and accept it as possible
since the proposed amendment would
not hamper the legislature in fixing
salaries.
No proposition could be submitted
to which we would be more uncom-
promisingly opposed than the propo-
sition to permit the legislature to pay
one circuit judge one salary and an
other a larger or smaller one. 1t
would be entirely unjust. Circuit
judges are equal in authority, equal
in position, and the one who lives
in a town of high prices is not neces-
sarily superior in any respect to one
VINO lives where living is cheaper.
No one asserts for a moment that
There is such inequality of ability
or character of services performed.
The claim that one should be paid
more than the other is based on the
idea that one needs more than tie
other to live equally well.
This would not be paying men for
service, but in proportion to their
necessities. As well pay large sal
airy to a poor man dependent entire
ly upon his salary and pay nothing
to one wealthy enough TO live without
it. This would throw to the winds
tie idea of justice in fixing salaries
and would place the state IN the atti-
tude of taking care of its officials ac-
cOrding to their needs.
We think this would place the jul
dietary in a very undignifled attitude.
The question in fixing a salary would
be not what are you worth to the
people?" but what can you get along
on" We do not see how a judge
could invite the legislature to exam
inc his grocery, butcher and market
bills with the request that it pay him
enough to meet them without feeling
very undignified. Every Judge should
be paid what the services of a judge
should be WORTH and then he should
take care of his own marketing.
The amendment authorizing the
creation of additional judicial circuits
should be adopted and then the leg
islature should divide these circuits
so that each Judge would have approx
inately an equal amountso of work, and
for this equal work the judges should
be paid equally. We would object to
entruSting the power of creating addi-
tional circuits to the legislature if the
people could do 1t. for themselves in
way that could stand, but the
growth of the state makes this impos-
sible; SO the power should be entrust-

HThe Hon. Frank Clark, OF Florida,
was the next speaker. Mr.. Clark is
a typical southerner, and immediate
ly caught his audience and held their
attention throughout his remarks,
and there was deafening applause
when he remarked that IN his esti-
nation this campaign was as import
ant as the war.
He spoke in part as follows:

pays the tax on what you eat and
what you wear. If every man realized
just what he is paying there would
be revolution. You would shoulder,
your musket if a federal tax collector
came around to collect the tribute
you are paying daily to the trusts.

the tariff should be revised. but they
want the friends of protection to do
the work. The democrats claim it
should be revised for the interest OF
the common people. If the republi-

now going around claiming to be the

wants his dues. The democratic
party is his friend, established by the
act, not the declaration.
Last winter a large number of
labor bills were brought up in the
house, but the car of that depart

members pleaded and begged TO leave
them come up for action. but the Re-

The schools and the judiciary
these are the two factors perhaps
more important than all the rest upon
which the very civilization of Florida
is based. To strengthen both is the
sole object of the three constitutional
amendments upon which the people OF
this state will vote today To vote
against them is to vote against
aid to our state schools, aid which will
fall so lightly upon the individual tax
payer that he will hardly know it, and
without which their educational value
