HIS DUTY.

In the first Of the so-calied stoekade
cases, County Attorney Job Lyon pros
ecuted so successfully that verdict of
guilty was brought in Immediately. Yet
the Republican newspaper, which re-
ceived several thousand dollars illegally
paid it out OF the public funds, ana
which Mr.. Lyon is seeking to recover,
declares that Mr.. Lyon has made no
attempt 10 prosecute these cases, and
intimates with characteristic covardice
that the attorney is being paid for ham
periug justice.
Men who have known Job Lyon in
his public and private life need no as
surance that his Office viii be conduct
ed efficiently. honestly and without fear
or favor Until he brought a suit
against the Republican newspaper
which was i'm the line Of his duty, no
one had ever been mean enough to even
suggest that he could be Influenced to
do a wrong thing. The attacks being
made on him nov offer additional evil
dence that he is doing right and that
no fear of abuse nor hope of reward
win make him deviate from the dis
charge Of his official duties TO the end
Of his term. More power to him.

A rRiRuTE 10 GENIUS.

Senator Gore Of Oklahoma has mad
vertently struck upon a great truth,
one long since known here in Utah, but
little understood elsewhere. Irritated
By Senator Shoots interference in d
discussion. Of the duty on carbons used
for electric lighting. Mr.. Gore said; Il
challenge the right Of that senator to
speak for the people Of Oklahoma, and
T impeach his power to represent both
the monopoly and the consumer No
man can properly represent both sides
OF a contest Of this kind
1T must be due to the fact that he
has some divine anlatus, some heavenly
illumination by which he is enabled TO
speak for the consumer. 1 have not
heard that the consumers want these
prices increased"
The Oklahoma senator spoke with
some fervor. and there is a suspicion Of
sarcasm I'm his language, but he hit the
truth Just the same, as we OF Utah
know. Smoot knows more on more sub
iects. including the tariff. than any
statesman of this generation, perhaps
more than any man who ever sat in the
senate He has mastered the intricacies
Of the tariff in less than six months
since he took his place on the finance
committee. He knows all about il. and
then some. as witness his ready offer
ings on razors. on cottonseed oil, on
carbons and all the other paragraphs of
the new bill.
Nor is that all: he is the only recog-
nized authority on forestry in this
country. with Mr.. Pinchot a close sec
ond; he is regarded here at home as an
orator whose introductions, exordiums
and pererations make Daniel Webster's
reply to Haynes read like High school
freshmans first essay on How Shall
We Save the Nation?" If he could be
spared from the senate. the president
would inevitably call him to assist Sec
rotary Knox run the state department.
so mastery is ais diplomatic ability. so
profound his Information on interna-
tional subjects. Indeed, The only limi-
tation TO the Utah senator's activity in
government affairs is the inability of
any one man, however great, to work
without sleeping or eating.
We repeat that Senator Gore was
right. though he did not realize it.
Smoot is inspired, as all men Of genius
are. He is a wonder. the Hope of the
West" and we can prove it all. by
Shoots own newspaper. And if that
won't satisfy Mr.. Gore. we can prove
IL by Smoot himself.

TWO QUEENS.

Ninety years ago tomorrow, May a.
there was born in England a little girl
baby who was destined to rule over the
land Of her birth and go down into his
tory as a model queen, wife and moth
er. The nineteenth century marked the
worlds longest stride forward in the
history OF mankind. 1t was Victoria's
good fortune to reign over a country
whose people represented civilization of
the highest type. and during the sixty
and odd years of her magistracy many
names were added to the long list of IL
lustrious Englishmen. Perhaps the sue
cess of her reign was due in a great
measure to the statesmen of one party
or the other who alternated at the helm
OF state Nevertheless, Victoria ever
battled for the right. kept her court as
free from scandal and intrigue as pos
sible, and acted as a balance wheel in
the complicated machinery of govern
ment. The names of many queens have
come down to US from former ages
some of them distinguished and others
notorious. but none more fit to adorn
the deathless page than Victoria of
England.
Three days after the late British
monarch was ushered into the world, OF
May q. 1919, another little girl came to
gladden. the hearts of her parents in
New York City. On Thursday of this
week she will celebrate her ninetieth
birthday. and loving messages will be

be signally honored in extreme old age
was Julia Ward and among her ances-
tors were Roger Williams and Governor
Ward OF Rhode Island. In after years
she became the wife Of DR.. Samuel G.
Howe of Boston. the famous physician
who was in charge of the blind asylum
where an attempt was made to educate
deaf, dumb and blind girl, Laura
Bridgeman.
The parents OF Julia Ward were
wealthy. and she was carefully edu-
Gated under the ablest instructors.
