Senator Knox voted for the amend
ment and the consequent increase in
salary. without thought that it would
operate against him. Even if he had
voted otherwise, his status would not
have been affected. since the bill passed
anyway.
1t is recalled that a similar situation
developed while Grover Cleveland was
president. At that time il was pro-
posed to make Senator Ransom minis
ter to Mexico. The comptroller of the
treasury pointed out the fact that the
salary of the man occupying this post
had been raised during Mr.. Ransom S
service in the senate, and President
Cleveland appointed someone else.
There was no whipping the devil

CIeveland's time, however, the consti-
tuition seems to have fallen into more
or less oisrepute.

LIMITED STATES SHOULD HELP.

The point of Booker T. Washington
regarding the duty of the United States
to extend a helping hand to Liberia is
well taken. A moral obligation rests
upon this country to take temporary
charge of the black republic and set
matters to rights. At the very least,
Uncle Sam should interfere to the ex-
tent of placing the little African gov
eminent upon safe and sane basis.
The United States was instrumental in
establishing this refuge for the blacks
and to turn a deaf ear In the time of
trouble would be both cruel and in
human. We have helped Cuba to her
feet for the second time, and We have
been taking an interest in the civiliza-
ton of China. We protect South and
Central America to the best of our
ability. Now that the Liberian repub-
lie threatens to break down We should
act promptly and set the machinery of
good government in motion.

DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

The direct primary question is being
agitated I'm many OF the states, and in
some of them the necessary laws have
already been passed. Governor Hughes
in his message to the New York legis-
lature. took strong ground in favor OF
this measure Of reform and after con-
sidering the objections urged suggest
ed the following ideas for incorpora-
ton into the statutes of the Empire
state.
1. That participation IN the nominating
primary be confined to enrolled party
voters, with stringent measures to prevent
fraud.
?. THAT the general expense of the pri-
mary. like those of a regular election, be
borne by the public
8 That the corrupt practices act be eX-
tended to prescribe the expenses that a
candidate may lawfully incur in seeking
the nomination, with full publicity Of al
4 That the amount which may be ex.
pended by candidates for nomination be
limited
8 That in general the safeguards of the
law governing general elections be ex-
tended to the primaries.
It is claimed that the law worked
badly in Illinois, inasmuch as Senator
Hopkins received a plurality of tbs
votes cast by the Republicans and yet
the legislature refuses to obey the man
date of the party and re-elect him tC
the senate. The difficulty in Illinois is
due to the fact that a second primary
was not held and a choice made be-
tween the two candidates receiving tho
highest number of votes at the first
one. As the case now stands, consd D.
erably more than half of the Repub-
leans Of Illinois are opposed to the
reelection of Hopkins. and therefore
the members of the legislature are not
very far out in their reckoning wher
they take the stand that the primary
is not binding upon them.
In Wisconsin it is alleged that q
majority of the Republican votes were
obtained at the primary by the corrupt
use of money, and the legislature has
so far refused to obey the mandate
and re-elect Senator Stephenson. The
third proposition of Governor Hughes
would cure this evil
In Kansas, Oregon and the southern
states the primary system has worked
satisfactorily to all concerned. and il
the present legislature Of Utah should
find time and see fit to pass a like
law for this state, the members there.
Of would be doing their duty in at leas
one respect.

pUT OUT OF BUSINESS.

As a result of the acquisition of the
Steel corporation, aided and abetted by
President Roosevelt, the southern plant
is likely to be put out OF commission
permanently. This is favorite way
of the trusts to grab business, buy
out a rival concern, increase the CAPT
tai stock and then shut down the re-
Gently acquired works.
The senators from the southern states
are said TO be worked up over the
matter. The Tennessee company's plant
has not resumed operations. while the
new mills of the trust at Gary, Ind.
have been started up, which indicates
plainly enough what will eventually
become Of Birmingham, Ala.
The tendency Of the trusts" said
one of the foremost southern senator's
'is to conserve their own resources

cHouLD CEASE QUARREL.

The Herald rises to call the Deseret
News TO order. That paper really is
becoming harsh in its language towards
the Intermountain Republican, which
is not only impolite, but calculated as
well to disturb the serenity of the band
of patriots who own and direct the Of
fetal organ. The News last evening
showed signs of worse than peJulance
with its morning contemporary. 1t
quoted the following from a Republican
editorial against prohibition:
He 0he legislator is assured by the best
friends Of the party, the best friends of
the state and the best friends of the
Mormon people, that the Cannon bill If
enacted into law, will cause the defeat of
the party in the strongest counties. will
hurt the material and moral interests Of
the state. and will badly compromise the
Mormon people.
The News followed the quotation with
this caustic comment:
We do not care great deal about any
thing a paper in the service of the saloon
interests may say in favor of the saloon
It is paid for. But we quote these lines,
TO register an earnest protest against the
cowardly insinuation that the Mormon
people are under any obligation to the
liquor dealers and their soul-destToying
diileS. Nnen the paper quoted says tnat
the Cannon bill, if enacted into law, will
badly compromise the Mormon people, "
IL simply gives utterance in an indirect
way to the slanderOus allegation that
somebody. in behalf of the church. entered
into a compact with the opponents Of pro-
hibitiOn. and that this compact must be
kept This is, to speak plainly. an in
famous falSehOO4- Its appearance IN an
anti-Mormon sheet would not have caused

BARRED eY CONSTITUTION.

That President Taft and Sena-
tor Knox should be willing TO attempt
the evasion Of a plain provision OF the
constitution is somewhat surprising.
Both have attained high rank in the
legal profession and are supposed to
know the fundamental difference be-
tween right and wrong That Senator
Knox is barred from the cabinet by
para graph of section 6 in article / of
the constitution there is no doubt. The
paragraph I'm question reads:
No senator or representative shall. dur
ing the time for which he was elected, be
appointed 10 any civil office under the
authority of the United States which shall
have been created or the emoluments
whereof shall have been increased durin z
such time- ana no person holding any Of
flee under the 1ited States shall be a
member of either house during his contin-
uance in office.
The term of Senator Knox does not
expire until March 4. 1911. so he plain
~ comes within the inhibition. Legis-
iative action by congress cannot cure
him of ineiigibility and no amount of
sophistry will heal the wound given
the constitution in case the present plan
is carried out and Senator Knox is
made secretary of state. The funda-
mental law of the country has received
some severe jo'ts during the present
administration. hut better things were
expected from a NAV who was thought
qualified to occupy a place on the su-
preme bench. Violation OF one OF the
provisions of he constitution at the
outset is not calculated TO inspire the
people of the country with any great
amount of confidence in either the abil-
ity or integrity of the only man in the
Republican party fit to be president"
The amendment to the legislative, ex-
eeutive and judicial appropriation bill
which has caused the embarrassment to
the incoming president and the Penn
sylyania senator reads as follows:
That on and after March 4. 1907. the
compensation Of the speaker OF the house
of representatives. the vice president of

Of the presidents cabinet shall be at the

Real Courade.

In the February Wide World Maga- zine, S. F. Martin, late of the Royal Niger company's service, tells the story of very daring deed. At a time of great anxiety, when England and France were on the verge of conflict in Africa and the powerful MOhammedan native states were watching for an op- portunity of throwing off the yoke of both countries, MT. Martin was district agent of the Royal Nigger company at Borgu. He was instructed to secure reliable information as to what was happening in the turbulent robber kingdom of Kontogora, and he obtain ed it by the hazardous expedient of disgusting himself as a Haussa and. taking his life n -hs hiainds, penetrat- ing right into the enemy's capital. His adventures during this journey he sets forth in the Wide World and they lose nothing by the modest way in which he writes. the narrative containing barely hint ofr,the strain of the or deal or the awful fate that would have befallen him had his real identity been suspected. It is one of those stories of real courage which thrill us none the less bectuse told in an unaffected and unassuming way.

 IF LINCOLN. Souvenirs of His Last Days in.
 BerryhaI Window BLOOD STAINED THEATER BILL Cast of Characters in the
 Performance of "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theater the Night the President Was Slain.

Probably nowhere in the world have the people at this time an opportunity to gaze upon souvenirs of the last days of Abraham Lincoln, or reminders of the incident of his murder, more near ly sacred than those now displayed in the east show window of the Berry hill store. Reference is made in par ticular to one of them, a playbill of Ford's theater Washington, dated April 14, 1865, bearing stains of blood that flowed from the mortal wound of the martyred president. The exhibits are the property of c. W. Platt of Wickenburg, who says he has refused $1, ,000 for the small collection The playbill in question was picked up by the father of MT. Platt, who was a member of the presidents body guard, on the floor of the box occupied by Lincoln when the fatal shot was fired by John Wilkes Booth. It is not un- likely that the bill is the identical one that Lincoln scanned when noting the cast of characters in the presentation VI AAAelA AAOAelDAS PAosI OuA <1AAAN- ANeAAA Cousin"
 The bill is on a very ordinary piece of print paper, common news, as a printer .would say, and gives little ex- cept the cast of characters. the date, the name of Ford the manager of the theater, etc. It announces the leading lady as Laura Keene, supported by John Dyott and Harry Hawk. The bill contains several large spots of blood, most of them faded to a light brown color. one or two minute patches are still quite red. There is a hole in the bill, which is protected in a case, al though badly worn, and which Mir. Platt believes was made by some for mer observer who had an opportunity to get at the relic and cut away a piece of it.
 Accompanying the show billlare two other souvenirs that are of the same collection and have grown valuable with age. One is a copy of the Wash ington Weekly Chronicle of April F, 1865, containing an account of the funeral of Lincoln, the paper of course being printed with turned rules, the emblem of mourning. The other is a pamphlet containing all the bulletins of the official gazette concerning the tragic event, the attempted assassina- ton of Seward and his sons, and the plot and those supposed at the time to be concerned in 1t. The same book, worn with age. contains many news paper reports of the murder, the events immediately following, the funeral. the funeral sermon and service the dis covery some time after his escape of the identify of the assassin. and letters he had written that seem self-convict- ing. On the back of the book is picture of the presidents funeral car. There are a number of pictures of the president and others concerned in the
