We this week place at our masthead the
names of the Democratic nominees, local
and State, as declared by the Parish, Sen
atorial and State Democratic Executive
Committees. In this connection, we desire
to say that we accept the declaration Of
Mr.. Lambremont's nomination, by the
State Committee, under protest. The sit
uation is embarrassing, and is fraught with
danger to the Democratic party. Under
the ugly circumstances, the Democratic
voters of the State should have had a
chance to select new man as candidate
for Lieutenant. Governor, and fair and
square deal given the voters. And If Dis
trict Judge Kings decision declaring the
primary law unconstitutional should be
sustained by the Supreme Court, it may
not be too late to yet harmonic the party
by selecting more acceptable candidate
for Lieutenant Governor. Lambremont
will doubtless be elected, but he should not
accept the position under clouded title.
Many Democrats will scratch him, some,
perhaps, vote for his Republican opponent,
but enough will no doubt vote for him to
elect him, rather than see Republican
fill the next highest office in the State, but
they will vote for him reluctantly.
For the good of his party, Mr.. Lambre-
mont should withdraw from the race, pro-
vided new man can be legally selected to
fill his place on the ticket.

HOPE.

To one who has passed the age of ambi-
ton aud is philosophically accepting what
ever fate may have in store for him, much
enjoyment may be obtained from observing
the hopes and ambitions of young people
about to leave school or college and enter
reflected in the bright faces of the young
something Of his own spirit at similar
age and if he has not been soured by ad-
versity he will encourage them, though he
may know that they will meet with many
disappointments and discover after time
that there are more things to be learned
than are taught in schools or colleges, or
even in universities. The hopeful spirit is
an essential element in successful career
1t inspires to effort and helps to overcome
misfortunes. knowledge and ability
count for great deal, but hope and self
confidence for quite as much. Without
these little use is made of either knowledge
or ability; with them the youth struggles
on until by hard service and experience he
has acquired both knowledge and ability.
The young are naturally hopeful, so that
it is not necessary to inspire them with
promises OF success in life; nor is it neces-
sary on the other hand to dampen their
ardor by pointing out to them the few prizes
that are offered to a great number of con-
testants. They will be discouraged soon
enough by sad experience; the best we can
do for them is to teach them enough phil
osophy to sustain them under disappoint-
ments while keeping their hopes alive. No
mans age is properly reckoned by the
years he has lived, but by the condition of
his heart. When he is no longer young
in years and his personal ambitions have
become memory, he should still be young
enough in heart to sympathize with the
youth who are about to begin the battle of
life and should have enough of hope and
ambition left to bestow them upon younger
men. To such men school or college COM
mencement is an inspiring them. The
fresh young faces and high ambitions of
the graduates bring back to memory scenes
of other days and stories, some sad and
some merry, of the struggles, victories and
defeats in which he and his companions
were engaged. "Hope," says the poet,
'springs eternal in the human breast"
and this is true in the broad sense, though
the objects of hope may change as one
advances in years. In youth the hope is
for personal advancement or success in
life, each individual having his own idea
OF what constitutes success; but as age
comes on the good man grows less and less
selfish, his hopes center in the careers of
others than himself-his children or grand
children or the wards for whom he cares
m public institutions-and in his later years
MS hopes turn to the future life. If he is
mentally sound and rightly constituted
nope never deserts him. 1t is the MAIN
spring of action and when he has nothing
urther to look forward to in this world
or himself he will find enjoyment in the
hopes inspired by young people whom he
las helped to a good start in life. The
hopeful, CHEEKY spirit is great comforter, !!
specially in old age, and to get the great

NEW POSTMASTER
NAMED FOR OGDEN
L. F. ShurtIeff Is Recommend
ed to Succeed William
GlaSmann.

Congressman Joseph Howell yesterday
recommended TO the president the APP
pointment of l. F. Shurtleff to succeed
William Glasmann as postmaster at Os-
den
The announcement of this recommends
ton will probably be hailed with great
delight by the people who know Mr..
Shurtleff best He is eminently qualified
for the position TO which he has been
selected and the people of Salt Lake will
probably join with the people OF Ogden
in congratulating Congressman Howell
on his excellent choice.
Among the qualifications said To be pos
sessed in the superlative degree by Mr.
Shurtleff are these: He is president Of a
stake in Weber county and as such was
a powerful asset to the Republican party
during the last campaign. he is looked
upon as the one man for whom all OF
the warning factions in Utah can unite.
since he has been with all those factions
He was a Cannon Democrat in 1898, a
Kearns Republican in 1900 and Smoot
servant since that time. He is believed
to be fully as popular, fully as capable
and fully as courag eous as his predeceS-
sOr. Mir. Glasmann. He is said to pos
seSs many If not all of the peculiar quail
tiles that make Mr.. Glasmann so emf
nently fitted for federal preferment in
Utah.
Mr. Shurtleff as Democrat was
member of the Utah state senate from
Weber county in 1888. and at that session
that he would support Mr.. Cannon and
none other for the United States senate.
During the next two years Mr.. Shurtleff
experienced change of heart and the
next senatorial election found him with
the Republicans. Some there are who
declare that the statesmanlike advocacy
of Republicanism by Senator Thomas
Kearns was responsible for this CONVEX
sion At any rate. Mr. Shurtleff sup
ported warmly the candidacy of Senator
Kearns and his vote helped TO send him
TO the United States senate
With an admiration almost equal to
that which he bestowed on Senator
Kearns, the next Ogden postmaster then
turned to Senator SmoOt. The argumen-
tative persuasion of Senator Kearns was
forgotten for the scholarly craftsmanship
of Senator Smoot. The silyer-tongued
oratOrical Cannon became a traitor and
an enemy to his people, the beneficent
kearnS an impOStOr invader, q ty
rant and a foe to . Reed Smoot
was the Moses anl H. n Howell his
Aaron. And the peniteTt Shurtleff turn
ed from his golden calf to welcome them.
And now he is to enter the promised
land.

HERE'S A HOT ONE IN
THE PETTY LARCENY LINE
Three Men Steal Stove From Their
Room and Attempt to Dis
pose of It.

IL is possible TO get another mans stove
for s. in a secondhand store. but to get
s. for another mans stove is a more Sc
fious matter, as G. w Gates, James Carey
and James f. Smith learned yesterday.
Their lesson cost them the alternative of
paying SIS each or serving thirty-five days
in jail.
The three were charged with having
stolen a stove from a room which they
occupied at 2s7 West South Temple street.
and attempting to dispose Of II in a sec
ond-hand store.
Gates and Carey pleaded guilty to the
charge. but Smith protested his innocence
by denying the charge The first two
were sentenced and then Smith had a
change of heart and asked that his plea
be changed. Judge .Diehl played no IA
Vorites and then gave Smith an equal SEN
tence of 80
