CAN'T BE FAR WRONG.

For some weeks there has been a bit
ter street car strike in Omaha. A week
ago the cars had stopped, and when
President Taft's party approached the
Nebraska city. not a car was running
in Omaha.
But instantly the President came into
the city, the embargo was lifted, and
the cars were permitted to run. The
strikers had the situation absolutely in
their grasp. But they didn't care to
have Omaha presented at less than its
best in the eyes of the President of the
United States. And they called off
every show of OppOsition-for the time
being-and the cars were run.
That is a good deal better than the
managers Of the Kearns party did in
Salt Lake. These later and farther
western gentlemen began trouble as
soon as the Presidents trip was pro-
posed, and kept up until their culminat-
ing blunder at the Unitarian church, to
fight the local committee, the eompan-
ions of the President, the United States
senator's, the congressman, the gov
ernor, the mayor, and everyone else
connected in the slightest way with the
movements of the President while he
was here. And they did manage to make
trouble. They were successful at that.
They made it possible for the President
TO so away remembering strife in Salt
Lake-instead Of progress, and big
manhood, and sound sense, and good
feeling, and polite demeanor.
We don't know much about the Oma-
ha street car strike. But everyone will
agree that men so sensible and fair as
those in control of the strike are far too
sensible TO make an unfair demand. Be
cause they called off the strike when it
should be suspended, we think they are
right in their Observation-Disclosures these
may be.

PENALTY FOR GOOD CONDUCT.

Down in Oklahoma they still are try
ing out the bank guarantee plan. Re-
Gently a rather bad bank failure has
called more than usual attention to the
provisions of the law. The bankers of
the state still in business have had to
make good the very heavy defalcation
Of that one of their number who has
closed his doors. And they are not sure
that they like the system of Furnishing
a good banker for the crimes of the bad.
Some place along the line there should
be solution for the problem. Depositors
should be absolutely certain that they
can get their money out of a bank when
they put it in the bank. No special
pleading can obscure that fact. And it
is noted that the government makes
that requirement No sub-treasurer can
run away with the cash intrusted to
him, and leave the government loser.
No depositary can safely steal No
loss is allowed to fall on the government
at all. The nation makes sure its cash
will be safe.
And the citizen has at least that same
degree of right
Whether the Oklahoma plan of as
sessing all the other bankers to make
good the losses Of the delinquent bank
er, is best, is not yet certain. But the
germ Of the case is there Depositors
must be secured against loss. What
they put in a bank must be made safe
for them.

AND ALL CAN UNDERSTAND.

In the course of a very sane editorial
commenting on the present trip of Pres
ident Taft the Chicago Inter Ocean
employs the following statement:
Without pretense or ostentation. without
pOmp Of rhetoric or ferVOr of oratOrv
without a single catch phrase or solitary
epigram, he has set forth in the language
that all can understand just what he
thinks he should do to better life, protect
liberty and facilitate the pursuit of han
piness in this republic. He has left the
past without reproaches and has devoted
himself to the needed reforms of the fu-
ture
Nothing could be more helpful than
the fact that the people understand the
President. They find that he does not
deal in involved sentences, in obscure
passages. They see that he is alert to
learn their various conditions, and to
get somewhat their several points of
view. And the comments he makes are
perfectly clear to all the people.
That is the value of the trip.
Instead of Mr.. Cleveland's eyclopedia
information. retailed to the people adj
dressed, and who are supposed to know
il even a little better than the famous
speaker, President Taft makes his
studies of the people themselves. He
has been a great questioner on this trip.
And his questions show that he thinks,
that he is placing new information in

GIRLS IN PHYSICAL TRAINING.

According TO the reports, more than
hundred of women have started taking
physical exercise in the Young Women's
Christian association. And that is the
best news that We have seen from that
source for many a month-and yet most
of the news fIpm there is nightly hope
full.
Those girls viii be the better for the
physical training they get. They will
be healthier in body, and that means
they will be more serene in mind. Such
ills as life is heir to are going to come
to them, but they viii be the better pre-
pared to fight for happiness if they are
strong in their bodies.
Whatever their work may be, wheth-
er physical or mental, they will be better
able to perform with the benefit given
them through physical exercise, sys-
tematically followed. And in the after
life, if they shall be called to the higher
duties of a home, to the sacred prov
ince of motherhood, they will be inf
nitely better prepared for the years and
their burdens because Of the reasonable
training of their bodies in healthful ex-
ercise.
The young women and their associa-
ton are to be congratulated.

MILITARY DUTY IN AMERICA.

General Chaffee believes in compul-
sorry military service by American cit
liens, He holds to the doctrine that
every state should be required to fur
nish a certain number of men, and that
after a term of service in the standing
army these citizens be released, their
places being taken by later cOnscripts.
In that way he sees possible reserve
army of 100000 men.
The plan has its advantages. OF
course the nation would be vastly
stronger in case a war should come.
And the men themselves would be the
better for it. Soldier practice is helpful
to the individual. 1t inculcates disci-
pline, Orderliness, a recognition of the
necessities Of command, and trains ev-
cry one for a place of responsibility
should it ever come to him.
In time of the civil war, the national
authorities, requiring additional men
for the army, appOrtioned to each state,
according to its population, the number
Of recruits that must be furnished; and
the state made like apportionment to
the counties, and the counties to the
townships. And not until their quota
was full was township, or county, or
state released Enrolling agents went
through the country with the names of
men in their several districts, selecting
those of sound physical health, and out
of the total roster of names the number
required by the district was selected by
lot
General Chaffee would have a return
to that old system, and the establish
ment of a big army of citizen soldiery-
like that Of Germany, with the differ
ence that in Germany every man is re-
quired to serve

COLONEL MORRISON is DEAD.

The Democrats will never have a firm
er supporter, nor the country a more
sincere citizen, than William R. Morri-
son, formerly a congressman from IIH-
nois, who has just died.
Colonel Morrison was one of the stu
dents of the tariff question, and he
didn't believe a high rate was neces-
sary. He certainly did not believe in
the protective theory. And he did be-
lieve that the tariff had been increased
little by little as time went by. begin
ming with the necessary revenue meas
ures of the civil war period, until it
was vastly higher than there was need
for
Also. he saw the difficulty in getting
the tariff reduced. Whenever any at
tempt was made, the friends Of the pro-
tective system would confront studious
congressman with such convincing ar
gument that one by one the anti-tariff
men would weaken, and concede there
was something in the system.
So Mr.. Morrison proposed the level 10
per cent reduction of the tariff rate on
every item in every schedule subject to
customs duties.
II was a simple plan, and Mr. Morri-
son, an adept politician, selected it more
because he knew it would appeal to the
support he would have to get in con-
gTess and the country, than because it
was approved by his judgment as a
statesman.
They called him Horizontal Bill Nor
risOn," and backed his plan with a yell
of popular approval which seemed GER
tain TO insure his winning. But it
didn't. The bill failed in the light Of
the fact that tariff reform is a matter
of study, and not of easy cross-Iots set
tlement. The ''horizontaT' reduction
saved a lot of figuring, and a lot Of
committee work. But it did not take
into account the necessities Of any in
dividual case. Mr.. Mckinley called it
a device of lazy men," And while that
did not apply to Colonel Morrison, be-
cause he was a very capable man, 1t did
Apply idESeiy dS dT6uAleht IN FAVOR OF
that above any other and more labori-
Gus scheme.
Colonel Morrison served ereditably on
the interstate commerce commission,
and for years has lived quietly in his
Illinois home. He did nJthing to the
discredit Of his state or to the harm of
the nation. And he will be mourned by
men of all parties as one who sought
earnestly, however mistakenly, for the
good of the nation.

WHAT DOES THE MAYOR MEANY

In his speech on Sept. 2S, Mayor
Bransford, defending the course of his
party in the past four years, made the
startling declaration that the American
party council and the mayor were not
to blame for the increased taxes; that
they had not increased the taxes one
single mill in the past four years"
And yet there is not a taxpayer in
Salt Lake who doesn't know that the
rate for city purposes was 10 mills in
1904. was IL mills in 1905, was u mills
in 1906, was Is mills in 1908 and 1909.
And the city authorities made that
raise eve-y time.
Does Mayor Bransford want the pro-
ceedings of the council in those several
Julys repubIsned? Doesn't he know
that even if he is directed to make such
foolish statements, he is unsafe to obey?
Or does he think the people of Salt
Lake are going to shut their eyes and
their ears and vote for him in spite of
all reasons against that action?
The fact is, that the tax rate in this
city has been raised every July the
American party has been in power, with
the exception of this present year. And
they purposed to then repeat their usual
rate-lifting manipulation, but were de-
TERED because of fear.
The mayor has been credited with
being careful in speech. But such state
ments will complete the ruin of a repu-
tation which has suffered so severely
because Of his political associates.
