DEMOCRATS SAY
HARSH THINGS
ABOUT NEWS
Leading MormOnS Discuss Taft
Editorial Published in Off
Cial Organ of Church.
OPINION is GENERAL
AS TO THE PAPER
1T CANNOT AT SAME TIME BE
MoUTHPIECE OF CHURCH AND
A POLITICAL JOURNAL.

Democrats generally were cOnsidera bly,
exercised by the publication in The Sun
day Herald of an editorial from the Des-
eret News in which a decided stand in
favor Of the election of Taft was taken.
The News said that Taft was the best
man for the presidency and quoted an
unnamed authority in support Of its posi-
ton. With view 20 ascertaining the SEN
timent of Mormon Democrats with re-
gard 10 the attitude of the News The
Herald yesterday interviewed several of
the more prominent ones.
In every instance, as will be seen by the
sentiments expressed below. Indignation
over the News partisan expression was
felt The opinion was general that the
News ought 10 either cease posing as an
organ of the Mormon church and come
out as a straight Republican newspaper
or cease printing Republican editorials
and resume the functions for which II was
created and become once more a church
organ.
Two questions were submitted I'm each
instance. First. What was the purpose
OF the News editorial; second, What will
be its effect? The replies follow:

TCOCI dtlOH OODs
Chicago. June 22.-John Mitchell, for
mer president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, tonight gave out a let
ter declining to become d candidate for
political office and indicating that he
will become instead the head of the
trade agreement department of the Ma
tional Civic federation. The letter was
addressed to John Q. Harding, secre-
tary of the political committee of the
Chicago Federation of Labor and was
called out by an endorsement by that
body of Mr.. Mitchelis tentative candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for governor of Illinois.
In the letter Mr.. Mitchell asserts that
he is mot much of a politician" and
he calls attention to recent illness as
further reason for his declinatiOn to
take an active part in the coming cam
paign.
Mr.. Mitchells work with the Civic
federation will involve attempts TO set
tie labor disputes without resort to
strikes or lOckouts. the position car
ries a salary of $4,000 a year. Mr.
Mitchell says that he feels that he can
be of more service TO organized labor
by trying 10 secure industrial peace
than by being governor of Illinois.
Does this apply to the vice presi-
Dental nomination as well as to the
gOvernorship of IllinOis?" Mr.. Mitchell
was asked.
I cannot well decline that which has
not been offered. My idea in the letter
was TO express the decision not to mix

b. II. ROberts.-There are two WAYS in
which the editorial in the News on the
Republican party nominee for president
may be regarded. First, that il IS the in
sipid utteTance of a writer who neither
knows what he wants to say. nor how 10
say IT, Evidently the writer could not
steadfastly hold to logical thinking
through so many as a score of sentences;
for in the opening sentence he says: Sec
rotary Taft. if elected president as he in
all probability viii be, will make an eX-
cellent chief executive" Then some forty
lines further on. referring TO Mr. Taft's
victory in the Chicago convention. the
writer says: The victory i'm the conVen-
ton is his own. and the victory At the
polls will be his own But will he wine
Query: Does the writer mean TO assert
positively that MT. Taft Will win. that
he ought to win. that the News. organ Of
the Mormon church, viii do what II can

of the News writer 10 merely PROFOUND
"A presidential cOuundrum as the last sem
tence would seem TO indicator NOr is the
matter cleared mp by the sentence which
comes later. namely, There Is quiet but
certain feeling among the masses that
Taft is the best man for the coming four
| years that the nation affords that IL would
| be better for the country that he be IN
/ the presidency for the next four Yeas
rather than any other man. even ROOse-
welt himself" This. I say, does not clear
the matter up. for one is left I'm doubt AS
TO whether this is deduction Of and

means in this TO represent the cOnclu-
/ siOns OF some close students Of the sit
uatiOn." TO which he refers i'm opening the
paragraph from which the above sentence
is quoted. If the News writer was merely
trying 10 PROFOUND a presidential cOnun-
drum. Democrats could well afford 20 let

But land this is the second view the
| trouble is this: The News possesses an
influence in the intermOuntain states
that goes beyond the Intrinsic merit Of

/ is accepted as OraculaT by thousands. who
would follow its suggestions in political
affairs as d matter of duty. IT, there

party success in the coming election.

faction OF an act which violates the pub

tribute TO Mr.. Taft as a Yale man who
is "abundantly equipped To hold the

people" He then addressed himself TO
the young men present about to be
graduated. saying:
Il want TO impress upon you that
while ydh may differ on political ques-
tions, there is something which rises
above politics and something which
lawyers cannot afford to differ on. The
lawyer under his oath owes it to his
country and TO himself TO stand firm on
the basic principle OF popular govern
ment He must believe that the essen
tials in government are three cO-Ordi-
nate branches-the executive. the legis-
lative and the judicial. Each must
keep within its bounds, or representa-
tive government cannot exist. And
when you find a government in which
the three branches have become subOr-
dinated TO the will of the executive,
popular government has ceased TO ex-
list. / speak of this in an impersonal
way.
judiciary the Last Hope.
THE last hope of liberty i'm this gov
eminent is an upright, fearless, incor-
ruptible judiciary. If, in the lapse Of
time you find political body advo-
eating any measure which seeks to i'm
pair the foundation of government as
laid down by the founders, as you value
your oath of Office, fight it.
The people of the three coordinate
branches of government ought not to
be forgotten for a moment.
