sspEAKING OF COW PEAS.

However. since we did not advocate

II will be observed that the hgrl-

AN AWKWARD POSITION.

Doubt has been expressed as to the
sincerity OF promises made regarding
the expenditure of the money now ask
ed for by the city council. The recent
difference between Mayor Bransford
and the majority OF the council furn-
shes an illustration of the conditions
that confront the citizens just now. II
should be considered in connection with
the proposed bond issue.
Mayor Bransford tells the public that
In order to continue harmonious rela
tions, he did not appoint as chief of
the fire department a man whom the
fra underwriters suggested with the
assurance that his appointment would
mean a reduction OF % per cent. In the
rates. To keep peace in the family
property owners were taxed unneces-
sarily to that extent, In addition to all
other taxes. Finally, when 1t became
necessary to appoint chief, for other
reasons than economy, the Mayor with
the approval of the majority of the
council selected Devine. But. notwith-
standing this agreement, the majority
broke whatever promises it had given
to the Mayor.
Councilman were perfectly willing
that Salt Lake property owners should
pay % per cent. higher Insurance rates
as a tribute upon their party altar.
| Councilman, 1t seems, considered II
quite regular to promise to sanction ar
| appointment, and then oppose It, Can
| the taxpayers trust such variable
custodian with another loan? For the
| sake of the argument, suppose that the
councilmen are worthy of confidence,
| but what of the power whose dictates
| they obey?
| The trouble has fully revealed to the
| public the awkwardness of the situa-
| ton IN which the Mayor has been
| placed by political affliatlon with a
strange party. If he decides upon
| measure which he considers best for
| the public he is opposed by an unseen
power that doees not exist by authori-
tv of the voters The majority of the
council is led by this power even
against the Mayor-which means
against the people who elected him,
Possibly that hidden power would
nke to see the Mayor resign and his
| place filled with a plant tool. Pos-
| sibly. that is the real secret of the
| complete turn about of the councilmen.
| The Mayor himself. possibly, may re-
gard resignation as a logical way ou'
of thu dilemma. But the public we
| No. ,,,o,Id rather see him continue
| his manly effort for the emancipation
| of the city administration from de-
grading servitude. In this struggle,
he is not powerless. The people have
given him the veto power. BY using
this power judiclously he can yet bring
those to terms who seem to beileNe
that the chosen servants OF the people
owe a higher allegiance TO party man
ipulators than to the people. -

PARTISAN WITHOUT HATE.

An indianapolis dispatch says that
the celebration planned In honor OF the
Democratic nominee for the Vice Presi-
dency. John w Kern. viii be an al
Fair In which the people Of lndianapo-
lis. irrespective OF party will be asker
to participate. This is following NO
table precedent When Vice Pdesiden'
Fairbanks returned home after ms
nomination one of the happiest ana
hearticst addresses of welcome was
made by John w Kern.
The dispatches have related other IN
cidcnts Of observation-disclosures The DEM
ocratio delegates at Denver cheered
Justify when President Roosevelt
namc was mentioned, and Bryan, when
speaking to his fcllow-townsmen, was
heartily applauded by members Of all
parties
we remind our readers OF these in
cldents and beg to say that the partis-
anship that is characterized by bitter
ness and Observation-Disclosures is really
out of date, The partisan who believes
1t his duty to belittle and berate every
body and everything outside his own
party. Is far behind his time. Bnlight-
ened citizens do no longer meet in cam
paigns as enemies" to fight" for Of
fees, and divide the "spoils." Such
barbarous ideas belong to Il very crude
stage of developments Advanced
sentiment finds expression in the
courtesies citizens of one party
pay to those Of another. They
may hold different views and be
ever so true to their respective con-
yictions; yet their differences are,
everything considered, so few and un-
essential. while their common interests
as human beings and citizens are so
many and so essential. Remembering
this, there is no reason why, even dur
ing campaign people should let party
feelings get the best of them, until they
forget the common ties of brotherhood
The incidents referred to remind US
that even those who disagree in politics
can do so in the spirit of brotherly
love.

DUBOIS IN DENVER.

The following comments by the Boise
Statesman of July II. are to the point
''To the mind of many thinking Dem
ocrats in Idaho it win appear that Mr.
Dubois ISSUE az a Democratic prop

Denver; and, rest assured, that all
those who have any doubts In the
matter will be properly advised by the
anti Dubois delegation, which. though
denied seats, will take credit for hav-
Ing defeated the ex-senator's plan.
The matter. then, resolves itself to
this. If enough Democrats can be
brought to understand that the issue Of
their party In this state Is not what Mr.
Dubois has insisted II should he, they
viii likely bring about conditions for
him OF such a displeasing character
that he Will feel called upon to start a
new party or get into one already or
ganized. Ergo. all other parties are
warned to holt the door,
Dubois went to Denver with the de
termination to force what he conceived
10 be an anti-"Mormon" plank into the
platform of the great party there as
sembled He found, however, that
great national conventions are no long
or easily frightened into the adoption
OF anti-Church planks. The Church Is
better known today by the leading men
and women of the American people
than at any former period of It's eX-
istence. II has successfully outlived
the ISLANDERS by which hatred always
sought to render 1t unpopular. II has
stood the test of trial. The nature
OF anti" MormonIsm" is also better
known to the public. And So notwith-
standing the personal friendship exist
ing between Dubois and some of Ills
former colleagues; Notwithstanding the
fervent oloquence OF the Agltator and
the misrepresentation of suosidi2ec
papers. he was defeated.
