NEW ANTI-sALooN MOVEMENT

(Hafper's Weekly)
The general movement which has gone
so far in the south, and shows so strong
a tendency to spread over the rest of
the country, is new, curious and appar-
emily importan.. 1t is not the offspring

carries or loses elections for them. The
explanations of ii are as vet not very
satisfying. At first il was said to be due
to the desire of the south to keep liQHOr
away from the negroes, but it has outrun
that explanation 1t seems to be unemo-
tional and hard-headed, and it is posi-
bic that il indicates d far-reaching APP
probation of the cost of the liquor saloon
to the families and industries of the coun-
try and a resolve TO reduce that cost as
much as possible. France has suffered
such enormous damage of late years from
excessive drinking that she has bestirred
herself energetically to restrain the bibu-
Iousness of her population. England has
adopted new laws to the same end, and
in Germany there are signs of a suspicion
that there is a limit TO the expediency of
beer. But this American movement diff
fers from anything of the kind that us
going on in Europe in being apparently
spontaneous and popular. and in its sub
stance not a thing stimulated by eXhOrta-
ton or excitement. but the result of slow

ton and experience. We hope it may turn
out as sane a movement as il seems to
be Considering how long mankind has
dallied with rum. il is astonishing how
little it has learned about it, and how
large a proportion of the experimenters

stockholder in a company has the right
to examine the books of corporation,
either in person or through a designat-
ed agent That sounds like good sense
and good law, and re Herald is very
glad the court of last resort in this
state has laid it down.
officers of corporations are entirely
too often cOntemptuous of the rights
of the small stakeholder. He is i'm
portant only in the event of a close
election of directors. Then he is re-
membered, his proxy is eagerly sought
and. after the meeting is over he is
promptly forgotten. When he goes to
the office of the corporation to make
some inquiries concerning its affairs,
the management has difficulty in rec
ognizing him. He is put off with vague
answers TO his questions if possible.
If he persists in his search for knowl-
edge he is told. often with heat, that
he can look over the books if he wants
to. Sometimes he is denied even that
privilege. Now the average man doesn't
know any more about the complicated

corporations than he knows about the

KENTUCKY SENATORIAL FIGHT

About the warhest thing in the line
Of politics just now is the senatorial
fight in Kentucky. The contest is. NOT
without interest outside of the old
Bluegrass state. The Democrats CON
troll the legislature on joint ballot by
only three or four votes. The leading
candidate is J. c. W. Beckham who
recently retired as governor after serv-
ing nearly eight years, a Longer. period
than any governor of Kentucky has
served since the adoption of the consti-
tuition of 1850 or thereabouts. The
constitution provides that governor
may not succeed himself. The term
is fixed at four years.
Reekham became governor because
OF the assassination of William Goe
bel. being al the time lieutenant gov
ernor. Goebel was killed in February
1899. In the fall of that year Beckham
was elected to fill out GOebeFs unex-
pired term. There was a question
three years later, as to his right under
the law to succeed himself, but it was
held that, as he had only filled an I'M
expired term, he could lawfully serve
full term in addition if he were elect
ed. So he won the nomination and
was elected to succeed himself.
During all OF his years in office
Beckham devoted his attention strict
~ TO the creation of a political machine
of his own, machine with which he
could control the politics of his state
He got his machine together in good
shape. It's first act of Importance was
to defeat J. c. ). Blackburn for re-
election TO the United States senate.
No primary was held. the work being
all done in the legislature. The candi-
date of the Beckham machine. Judge
Paynter. was elected.
Two years ago. and one year before
the election of the legislature that
would in turn elect a successor to Sena-
tor McCreary, the machine ordered
snap primary Beckham won, of
course. All the machinery was in his
hands. 1t was charged that the bal
lot boxes were stuffed, that every con-
ceivable fraud was committed For
the first time the Democratic rank and
file began to grow restless. Also Beck
ham forced his slate through at a pri-
mary TO nominate state officers.
AL the election last fall the real re-
belliOn was made manifest The ma
chine-made state ticket was defeated
and the Democrats came perilously
close TO losing the legislature. The
blame for all this may properly be
laid at the door of Beckham The Ken
lucky Democrats do not consider them
selves bound by the result of the sena-
torial primary. II a primary should
be held today Beckham would be de-
feated by a majority of thousands of
votes. He is not the real choice of his
party
And the indications are that he will
be beaten. 1t would be a pity to dead
lock the legislature to the extent of
preventing the election of any senator
ial candidate. but many Kentucky
Democrats are saying that vacancy
would be preferable to Beckham.

nuR INDEPENDENT MAYOR.

The first thing he knows, Mayor
Bransford will get himself almost dis
liked by the morning organ of the
American party The comment of
that paper on the appointment of John
Henry Smith as a delegate to the Dry
Farming congress indicates a condition
of mind bordering on petulance. 1t
says, in part:
1T is peculiarly Inappropriate that
the leading official whom the 'Ameri-
can party has put into Office in Utah
should give any recognition whatever
70 the class of persons against whose
offenses the American party makes
especial warfare Mayor Brans-
ford has unquestionably been betrayed
into making this mistake by incOn-
siderate or wilfully deceptive advice.
The Tribune sees no excuse for any
such advice or any such appointment,
other than that it was probably made
in a moment of inadvertence and with
out taking into account the prOprieties
of the situation or the Consciousness
OF the sort of life for which this man
stands. And We protest against
II coming from any American Off
cial. or as anything for which the
American party as such should or can
be made to stand"
After that blast the mayor viii, of
course, recall the appointment of John
Henry, and John Henry wHl HE away
to some lonesome place and shed bit
ter tears because he is denied the priv
ilege of attending the Dry Farming
congress as a delegate from salt Lake
city.
That is. he viii not Meaning both
the mayor and John Henry. But the
organ of the mayors party has pre-
scented to him a dilemma, either horn
Of which is equally painful. On the
one hand he must acknowledge that he
acted hastily. that he was careless to
a remarkable degree; on the other
hand. if ne remembered all of John
Henry's alleged shortcomings and dis
abilities and appointed him in spite of
them. he is likely to be read out of his
party.
The case has a distinctly humorous
aspect 1t is hardly worth while to
kick up so great a fuss over so small
matter. There are other things that
are much better worth while Person
ailv. while holding no brief for the de-
Tense of John Henry. our candid opin-
ion is that Mayor Bransford appointed
him after due consideration and with
fuH knowledge of his life's history
There was a purpose behind the ap-
pointment, and the purpose was to
demonstrate TO the complete satisfac-
ton of the Salt Lake public that he is
an absolutely independent executive
that he will not allow any clique or
faction of his party TO dictate his ap-
pointments and that he cannot be bull
lied or bulldozed.
II this was Mayor Bransford's pur-
pose. il has been abundantly success
full. And the joke of the whole bus
mess is that if the American" organ
had kept quiet nobody would have
known how badly it was hurt.
