TIE MEAT.Ax IN POLITICS.

The easy, nonchalant way in which
the Smoot machine designates the can
didates for whom It Will permit the Re
remarkable features of its manage
ment. In most states and in most ma
chimes the voters are allowed TO think
they have some voice in party affairs.
and they 90 through the motions of
naming delegates. holding conventions
ana exercising, nominally. the rights Of
citizens. Even where the most rigid
discipline prevails the machine leaders
are astute enough TO conceal the fact
that everything has been prearranged
and the voters preserve their self-re-
spect. what the Chinese call their
face"
In the Republican party OF Utah,
things are different No subterfuges,
no appearance even OF consulting the
electorate is necessary. The machine
cOnsults Senator Smoot; the senator
tells his subordinates what he has de-
cided TO do and whom he has chosen to
run for Office; the subordinates an
nounce calmly and as a matter OF fact
that Ed Loose will be the candidate
FOR governor and national committee
man. and that is all there is to be said
about it. If the senator doesn't change
his mind the delegates will meet in
convention and name Mr.. Loose for
governor and national committeeman,
the other official nominations will be
made as Senator Smoot may direct, the
conventions will adjourn and the cur
tain ring down on the farce Of popular
government by party nomination.
So far as any choice by the people is
concerned. the Republican conventions
might as well consist OF cigar store In
dians with phonograph attachments ar
ranged in advance TO say AYE" or
nay on a touch OF the button from
Snoot headquarters. Occasionally a
few Independent men happen to get
into a Republican convention here; and
when they do. they are promptly swat
ted with the meat-aX and thrown out
OF the party as a horrible example Of
the evil of daring 10 think in a Repub-
lican gathering. Political subservience.
abject abdieation OF civic rights could
go no further if the membership Of the
party were made up Of Chinese coolies
koW- towing to a mandarin of the red
button class.
Yet the men who control the partys
destinies in this state wonder why
there should be any opposition to their
domination! They haven't the adroit-
ness Of Plat. the "easy boss in his
haleyon days, when he let the opposi-
ton say what it wanted to and thea
smothered them with votes. They
haven't the first conception OF that
trait in American character which de-
mands fam play for the minority: and
SO they persist in their brutal disregard
of minority rights ignoring the fact
that il is giving them a constantly d.
minishing vote ana promises ultimately
10 disrupt the party and throw the
state into the Democratic column.
The meat-aX as a political weapon
has its advantages. provided it is not
used on ones own party; but as
means OF suicide it Is unnecessarily
barbarous. not TO speak OF the shock it

The disaster to the continuance was
caused by unfamiliarity with some ex-
perimental steering gear that had been
installed just prior to the final trial.
The Wright brothers were in no way
discouraged by it: 1t is said that they
have another machine in reserve. and
that in August they will resume their
experiments. According to all ae-
counts, most of the trials were entirely
successful.
The machine mounted gracefully into
the air from a runway. assembled to a
height of more than 1000 feet on one
occasion and was steered with ease in
any direction. Once speed of more
than a mile a minute was attained.
The brothers steered their car in cir
eles. they turned sharply to right or
left, ran with the wind or against 1t at
will and in other ways demonstrated
their control over it.
If the Wrights have not absolutely
solved the aerial navigation problem,
they have come closer TO 1t than any
other inventors. That they will ulti-
mately achieve the end desired is rea-
sonably certain. And the fact that
they are Americans. that their ma
chine was built in this country and
tested on American soil, or rather in
American air. should be a source of
great satisfaction TO all of their fellow
citizens

the builders of the srnelter see their
way clear TO getting the first part of
