with conspiracy, Of being one and the same
thing.
But they could never get their case in court.
Or if they did it always remained at the
foot of the docket
But now the defendants come in and make
open confession Of the truth Of the allegation.
They plead guilty.
From this confession there is no appeal, no
change Of venue, no rehearing
There is nothing left to do but to pronounce
sentence, which should be nothing less than
the dissolution Of the two old parties, and an
opportunity be given the people to rally
around banner that means something be-
sides an appetite for public graft.
1t is entirely proper that there should be
two parties, but not in the sense Of the lion
and the lamb after the lamb is on the inside
of the lion. When this condition exists it is
time that another party should come on to
the scene.

BY w. s. Morgan.

The New York Evening Post wants to know
"What is the difference between the Re-
publican and the Democratic Parties7"
The Kansas City Journal, staunch Re-
publican paper, commenting on this inquiry,
confesses that it is a difficult matter to point
out the difference.
History" says the Journal, "does not
supply situation more vague and confusing
to the average citizen than that which con-
fronts the American voter It is pointed out
taht Democrat is not necessarily man who
votes the Democratic ticket, any more than
a Republican is a man who votes the Re-
publican ticket, True, it says, "the party
names survive, and men are gathered beneath
partisan banners a matter of fealty or
habit, but nowadays there are Identical ele-
ments in both parties and demarkation is
along the line Of radicalism or conservatism.
Jefferson" continues the editorial in the
Journal, twas a strict constitutional con-
structionist, and it was upon this issue that
the party came into existence. But today
Bryan and his followers are advocating such
liberal construction Of the constitution as to
make it admit Of policies far beyond anything
ever dreamed Of by the old school Of Democ-
racy. Roosevelt has set the pace in bringing
the constitution up to date and at his
heels are the radicals of Democracy, while in
the background are the conservative elements
Of both old parties, looking upon the mad
race with anxiety and apprehension. Some
think that the outcome of this unique state
of affairs will be that both old parties must
disintegrate, separating the radicals from the
conservatives and that either the Democratic
radicals will join the Republican radicals
under the name Of Republicans, or the Re-
publican conservatives will join their brethren
Of the Democracy under the latter Or some
other name Certainly government control is
running riot in the ranks of both old parties,
but there is still a strong and probable
controlling element Of voters who love in
dividual liberty and who will gain the upper
hand when the present frenzy has spent
ITSELF -
ERadicalism, adds the Journal ''is at
fever heat in the country, and both the
Democratic and Republican extremities are in
the race to see which can Guido the other
In the delivery of the country to socialism. -
Now, don t that take your breath?
The situation as inquired into by the Post,
and outlined by the Journal, reminds me of
the story Of the negro porter and the dog
The dog was being shipped somewhere by
express, and to his collar was attached a
tag denoting the point of his destination. The
DOG managed to get the tag in his mouth and

tag and we Sc don t none OBJ us know Whah
he's goin'
It seems as though both the old parties
have "done ct up their tags, I" and don It know
where they are going.
The Journal, like most other papers Of its
class, in the discussion Of questions Of con-
stutional limitation, seems to lose sight of the
fact that our present constitution was made
to conform to entirely different conditions
from those which prevail now. AS those con-
ditions changed we have endeavored to meet
them with various amendments. But some
Of these so-called conservatives would place
such a strict construction ON the constitution
as to bend it the other way, to construe it's
meaning the opposite Of that which its
trainers intended. If they keep on they will
yet be contending that it is unconstitutional
to amend the constitution.
The Journal IS right in one thing: it gives
party good diagnosis of the situation.
Whether it's predictions as to the future
shall prove true remains to be seen.
The Republicans are becoming as badly
"split up'' as are the Democrats, and that
is saying something.
This condition Of things is the sure pre-
cursor Of new political alignments.
IA house divided against itself can not
stand'
In the Republican party are people Of many
shades Of political belief, and color
The Democratic party is not so profusely
endowed with variety of color, especially those
of darker shades, but the range of political
belief is even wider than that in the Republi-
can party.
It seems as though, where we have two great
parties with such fexibility Of principles, we
should have no difficulty in getting through
Congress a bill providing for system of
flexible currency.
The extreme elements in the two old
parties have been tapping over each other for
many years, and the lap has now grown so
extensively that the best Of friends have found
it difficult to recognize each other or to
determine just where they are at. And it is
no wonder that such eminent authorities as
the New York Evening Post acknowledges its
inability to distinguish the difference be-
tween a Republican and Democrat
Confession like that is good for the country.
The masses have been laboring under the
conviction that there was a difference be-
tween the two old parties, and have been
lambasting each other for responsibility for
the many ills which afflict the country
1t is this belief that has sustained the
organizations of the two old parties
1t kept alive the old prejudices which have
been such stumbling block to all kinds of

sPEER TO THE STATE TREASURER.

Columbus, Ca, May rs, 1908
Mr. R. E. Park, State Treasurer,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: | see you are very much
exercised by my statement to the people Of
Georgia in which you say | have made false
statements, and reflected on you personally.
I respectfully submit that there is nothing
false in my statement and absolutely nothing
personal. If [ have anything of personal
nature to say about you will say it to your
face. [ am dealing with your official acts
as State Treasurer. Those acts are public
property, and will be criticized when they
deserve to be whether you like it or not.
[ said in my statement that you had violated
the Act Of 1898 in depositing $4,000 of the
State s money in broken bank the day be-
fore it closed its doors when it already had
at that time the limit Of 900 fixed by the
said Act of 1898, which is a wise law and
which has never been repealed. You openly
admit the truth Of this CHARGE not only as
to the Neal Bank but also as to the Fourth
National Bank; SO you are more lawless and
careless with the State s money than have
charged you with being.
You raise the point that you had ten days
in which to get this money out. Now, let me
ask you this question in that connection: Did
you not know at the time that you made this
wrongful deposit of the States money that
the Neal bank in dying condition and
could not possibly live more than twenty-four
hours and that you would never have the
opportunity of getting it out under the ten
days limit?
I said that you had ample authority under
the Act Of 1907 to employ all the help n~ces-.

LAUDANUM PROVES FATAL
Suicide Victim Dies Without Reveal

After over a twenty hours fight on the
part of physicians and attendants to save
his life, the stranger giving the name of

Governor Cutler has appointed John E.

as long as Denver business men have
openly avowed that that city does not
want the honor. as was exclusively re-
ported in yesterdays Herald.
Fisher Harris, secretary of the Com
mercial club, who has been active in the
movement to win the mining temple for
Salt Lake and make this city the center
of the vast mining industry of the west,
gave the following interview to The Her
aid:
I'm 1904 the state of Utah sent a strong
delegation TO the Portland, Ore, conven-
ton of the American Mining congress and
expended good deal of money in an ef-
fort TO obtain for Salt Lake the perma-
nent location Of the temple of the Ameri-
can Mining congress The fight on the
part of Utah was waged by Judge Pow
ers and Professor Talmage and they only
lost il by trick
1.-The city council OF Salt Lake. in its
desire to get the temple. offered a build
ing site, valued at $4,000. as beginning.
Representatives of Denver, however.
pledged to raise a great sum for the cree
ton and maintenance of the temple, and
they were awarded the prize. Denver
never redeemed its promise except in so
far as TO get the Colorado legislature 10
appropriate an inconsequential sum-
1T is. just as important now as it was
then that Salt Lake should have that
temple and there seems to be most
excellent opportunity now to secure it.
The temple is wanted not alone by the
City of Salt Lake. but by the entire state
of Utah as well.
Representatives OF mining interests in
the trans Missouri country recognize Salt

KALEIDOSCOPE SERIES OF EVENTS
FOLLOWS VISIT TO POLICE STATION

Dashing from the city Jail, pursued
by policeman and fastened on by
three shots, only TO fail into the arms
Of another policeman, then thrown into
a cell. this rapid succession of events
befell James Smith last night as the
result of his curiosity to know what
his wife was going TO tell the police
about him, and which put the police
station in furry of excitement for a
few moments, and gathered a mob OF
a thousand and more in jiffy.
The affair which occurred about Z
o'clock, was an unlocked for detail in
the closing scene of the domestic trou-
bles of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. 1t appears
that their married life has been one in
which of late years felicity has been
far removed, and that a divorce suit
instituted by Mrs. Isabella Smith will
come up for hearing Tuesday. Angered
at his wife's repeated refusals to be-
come reconciled and at her determine
ton to proceed with the suit for sepa-
ration, he has repeatedly threatened
her.
Last night. according to her story, as
Mrs. Smith was standing on South
Twelfth East street waiting for a
downtown car, Smith approached her
and in threatening manner told her
that she would not be alive three days
from now" Terrified at the threat,
she concluded TO go to the police sta
ton for protection.
Smith followed her downtown, and
when she entered the police station he
was right behind her listening to her
conversation with the desk sergeant.
Mrs. Smith told Sergeant Pugsley
that her husband had been threatening
her life and that she was afraid of him.
PatroIman Mccormack CHANGED to be
outside the railing. and to him Ser
geant Pugsley said:
Mac, you'd better take them TO the
feutenant's office"
Mccormack laid his hand on Smiths
arm and the trio started down the hall
way, when. quick as a flash. and be-
fore the officer could realize what was
happening, Smith turned and dashed
out the door and down the street
With a yell to stop, Mccormack was
after him, but Smith had gained a good
