THE FAXED CLEVELAND LETTER

About q month ago the New York
Times published what purported to be
a posthumous article by Grover Cleve-
land declaring. among other things:
When il became apparent that Mr..
Taft would be the nominee OF his party
conjecture as TO the result in
the November conclusions could be Of
but one sort among sensible men. .
The Republican party is certain. though
with considerably lessened strength.
to move on TO a safe victory sustained
by popular support of reforms which
should not rebound to its glory solely.
those reforms having been the work of
decent men in all parties"
Naturally the Republican press hailed
this as a great campaign document IN
their behalf The Republican national
committee circulated copies of it by the
hundreds of thousands: spellbinders
dweIt upon il, particularly in the east,
and great stress was laid upon it as the
utterance of a Democrat and former
president.
New that most of the DAMAGE such
as was possible. has been done, the an
nouncement is made that the whole pro-
duction is a forgery, spurious and re-
pudiated. The Times has asked Mr..
jerome 10 take up the matter with
view to prosecution OF the man who
was responsible for the fraud; and Mr..
Cleveland's executor. who at one time
Is said 10 have thought the document
genuine, says now ne will not stand
for It,
Of course, now that the fraud has
been exposed. the Republican national
committee will hasten to send out a
correction and explanation of it's part
in circulating a forgery. and the Re
publican press. urged by the committee.
win take pains TO see that The public
isfully informed as TO the nature Of the
document.

BREAKING 1T GENTLY.

According to The Herald's Washing
ton correspondent, William Spry.
United States marshal and candidate
his federal office If he does not take it
upon himself to retire. voluntarily. This
is III line with decision reached at the
cabinet meeting of Tuesday in case
almost exactly like Spry's.
Remembering that Spry made his
preliminary canvass on government
time: that ne "fished" all over the state
on government salary, and that he is
now carrying on his campaign while he
stin holds Office, it would seem about
time for action by an administration
which has so high a regard for the pro-
prieties and is so scrupulous about the
interference Of Oficeholders in politics.
As a matter of fact, if the president
and the department of justice had had
any regard for the decencies. they
would have made Spry resign the mo-
ment he announced his candidacy. As
II is, they have permitted him to hang
on, to draw salary when he was spend
ing his time on personal matters, and
to give an example of decentralization in
the public service which bellies all their
professions of civil service reform.
II Spry had happened to be going
against the presidents desire, he would
have been fired from his job long ago;
being one of the elect, and having been
set apart for his place by the presi
dents friend he has been allowed TO
do about as he pleased. If he resigns
now, IL will be because he can get out
and back into office again if he is de-
feated. and all without losing more
thar months pay. Civil service rules
in Utah are of about as much real
value as the decalOgue would be in a
prizeight.

BRYAN TO ROOSEVELT.

All things considered, the latest let
ter of Mr.. Bryan to President Roose-
welt. while literally flaying the head of
the nation alive. appears to have been
written with a feeling akin to pity for
the object of attack. The element of
brutality is lacking in Mr. Bryan. and
While his .wea pom is never dulled and
always welded with dexterity. he never
mansles or disfgures the corpse of an
enemy slain in battle With all the
natural sweetness of his disposition.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-10-01

II is doubtful if the speech of Sher-
man. Republican candidate for vice
president. will help Speaker Cannon N
his fight for reelection; in fact, ii is
more likely to injure the Taft ticket.
When the militant Methodists arose
from their knees the last time they
prayed for action on the Littlefield bill
they had blood in their eyes and, the
watching and praying being over, they
concluded to fight. If the national Re
publican ticket gets in the way it will
probably suffer.
