Senator Bailey in that famous speech

is responsible for campaign Of

ness, and when the smoke of battle

them the way into sinfulness and dis
loyalty. He encourages the danger to
society that Cardinal Gibbons seeks to
guard against. The difference between
the attitude and teaching Of tho .wo
is that which exists between the eX-
pressions Of a vicious hypocrite and the
pure sentiment of real Christian gen.
tleman.
With respect to the outburst OF the
Deseret News, il is necessary to explain
that at that time the Federal officials
were endeavoTing to enforce the law
concerning admissions TO citizenship.
They sought to debar polygamous wives
from the franchise because Of their un-
lawful relationships, necesstating the
propounding of sometimes embarrassing
questions in order to get at the facts.
But the Deserct News advocated de-
fiancc of the representatives of the
law and the Government. urging tho
Ineligible women TO stubborn silence
and intimating that even the commits
sion of perjury was preferable to ex.
clnsion from the franchise.
Since the admission OF Utah TO
Statehood we hear no moro such vicious
teaching from the church leaders or the
Deseret News. 1t is not necessary, be-
cause the lawhreakers are now in a
position to pursue their course and snap
their fingers at the law and the Nation.

treason still remains is evidenced in this
very defiance as practiced in their daily
lives. That more Of the younger ele-
ment in the church dc not initiate their
viciousness is probably due to the fact
that Mormon youths are made Of better
stuff than many of their elders.

THE TARIFF HEARINGS.

| The tariff hearings now in progress be-
fore the committee on Ways and Means
of the House of Representatives began
on Tuesday, November 10th. They have
continued with great regularity and
with much freedom till now, aud will
probably last until about the time of
the opening of Congress, which will be
the first Monday in December, being
! the 7th day of the month These tariff
hearings are, as we understand, sched-
uled to close on December 5th.
The tariff schedules have been pretty
fairly and thoroughly gone into. The
opening hearing was on chemicals, col
| orlngs, dyes, etc; then came wines
spirits, tobacco, sugar, California inter.
ests, Florida interests, lumber, wood,
paper, paper pulp, and so on Doubt.
less the committee expects by December
9TH TO get through with all the
schedules.
We notice that in the dispatches of
yesterday morning Mr.. VanCleave, pres.
ident of the National Association of
Manufacturers, is quoted as finding
fault with the hearings. First, he
claims that only about one hundred out
OF the two hundred and fifty thousand
heads Of factories in the country re-
celved notice to, appear before the com.
mittee; and then he objects to the form
OF questioning, which he represents as
DO you not believe that your pres.
ent duty should be maintained 20 And
he claims this to be the usual form Of
the query We have before US the pro-
ccedings of nine days of the committee
hearings, and we do not find that form
OF question IN any of the proceedings
OF those days. On the contrary The
usual form is, "Why does your indus
try need protection?'' GLOW much has
it been receiving'" GLOW much can
1T be reduced without injury to produc-
ton IN this country?" and so on. So
far as we have been able to examine
these nine days hearings, there is alb
solutely no reason TO find fault with the
form OF the questions.
AS to the other matter, tic notice
to but few of the many thousands
OF heads of factories IN the country.
we gather from the report of the hear
lngs that while good many NAV have
been notified of these hearings. and
while some, as In the case of Mr. Car.
negIe, were expressly pressed to appear
before the committee, the committee
does by no means confine itself 10 the
nearing of statements from any yvbo

tarily. The very first statement as to
witnesses was by the chairman, "Mr,
Queeny Of st. Louis desires to be
heard.' Mr., Queeny seems 10 have
appeared, not because he was summoned,
but of his own free will and initiative
We notice also the open question, Gas
on page 43i of the report,) whcro the
chairman gays, elf there is anybody
else who has information he desires to
give to the committee. the committee
will be glad TO hear il. " The fact seems
to be that the committee is very anxious
to get all information possible, and is
taking the most common~sense, practical,
and fair-minded way possible to get that
information. And the Investigations Of
the committee certainly seem to be thor.
ough and impartial. We observe no
disposition on the part OF any of the
members of the committee to ask ques-
tions TO coach the witnesses. In fact.
the witnesses are the best posted men
at the hearing on the special interests
they present, The committee members
would not be able 60 coach them if they
wanted to.
There is certainly a mass of valuable
Z information being obtained by the com
mittee from various experts on the prac-
tical workings Of our tariff schedules
F.! The WITNESSES for the most part are men
! engaged In the practical manufacture
of the articles affected by the tariff
schedules with respect TO which they are
heard They go there, make their own
| showing, and answer such questions as
are asked; and those questions are
| searching. Besides these practical men,
the committee has summoned from the
various departments Of the Government,
I and elsewhere, experts and scientific
men who give valuable Information on
technical procedure, Investigations. and
results; as where Mr.. Saylor, of the De
partment of Agriculture, was called in
to answer questions which the commit
/ tee might PROFOUND. In the course of
his Investigations the very interesting
question of producing the single germ
beet seed was under discussion. and Mr.
Saylor stated that the experiments of
the department had already worked up
to the production of thirty-five to forty
per cent the single germ seed. And Mr.
Saylor expressed the opinion that
."there is no question but what they
will get single-germ seed, and then
after they get q single-germ seed they
will have to breed it up TO high
! quality" All Of Mr.. Saylor's testi-
mony was of deep interest to the pro-
! ducers of sugar beets.
Judging from the reports Of the nine
| days hearings that we have received,
we should say that there is no reason
whatever to find fault, either with the
! freedom of the hearings had or with the
methods of the committee or the man
ner of asking the questions. 1t is all
as open as can be, as free as one could
desire, and as complete in information
as the committee could obtain.

pledges Of the legislators.elect should
| be made good. Any refusal to do this
would be political treachery of the
same character, although perhaps not
! quite so Nationally conspicuous, as If
Presidential e'ector should vote for some
other candidate than the one he is
chosen to represent, What would be
thought Of the Taft Presidential elect
or who would refuse to vote for Mr..
Taft, but would vote for somebody
else? Precisely of the same order OF
treacbery is that which is now asked
of the Oregon legislators"elect. They
were elected under specific written
pledge that they would vote for the
candidate selected by the people for
United States Senator, That candidate
is Mr.. Chamberlain, a Democrat. The
majority of the legislators arc Republi-
cans. But docs the fact that they are
Republicans and that Mr.. Chamberlain
is Democrat absolve them from their
written pledge and obligation OF honor9
We cannot possibly SEQ that it does
There is but one thing in honesty and
decency for the Oregon legislators to
do, and that is to elect Governor Cham
bcrlain TO the Senate The failure to
do this would discredit the primary law,
and be vicious blow at the whole idea
of the popular choice Of candidates as
made through primary elections. a
great many States have the primary
election law, whereby at popular cleo
tions the people choose candidates in
stead of nominating them in conven
tions, and, so far as we know, there has
never been any effort TO betray the
popular choice of q candidate until this
Oregon case came up If the Oregon
legislators fail to elect Governor Cham
berlain to the Senate, the whole idea OF
primary elections and nominations Will
be discredited. And those who thus
discredit it will be disgraced for life.

THE OREGON sNEAKINESs.

We notice an underhand sort Of cf-
fort being made in the case Of the Ore
goq SeDatorship, TO bring about the de-
feat OF the popular will with respect to
the election Of u Senator from that
State to succeed the Hon. Charles w.
Fulton. At the last State election in
Oregon the legislative nominees we're
al pledged to vote for the man who
might be selected by the popular choice
for Senator, at the State primary held
on the same day as that election. At
that popular plebiscite, or primary cleo
tion- Governor chamberlain. a Demo
crat, was designated by the people as
their choice for the United States SEN
ate, But the Legislature is Republi-
can. Every one of these Republicans.
however, had made personal pledge
in writing that he would vote for the
popular choice. This obligates them to
vote for Governor Chamberlain. Tho
unique spectacle should therefore be
seen, of the Republican Legislature
electing n Democrat TO the United
States Senate,
Ii is to escape this. it appears, that
Senator Fulton has recently made a
trip to see President-elect TAFT. We can
hardly imagine Mr., Taft giving any
other advice than that good faith should
be kept. and that the ante election
