DOES STANDARDIZATION
LAW AFFECT HINDUS?

San Francisco.-Aroused by the re-
peated attempts OF Turks and Hin
dus to take out citizenship papers in
the principal cities or California, 1t
is probable that some action will be
taken by federal officials to deter
mine. whether they come under the
naturalization law which excludes
the yellow races from citizenship. Pc
ter Blazer, chief naturalization exami-
ner, declares that no Hindu or Turk
or any persons of the so-called yellow
races will be given the sanction of his
office, for the reason that he con-
strues the naturalization law to mean
by the phrase white persons" Euro
peans only. With such a construc-
ton all Japanese, Chinese. Turks and
Hindus would be excluded, as the
naturalization officials here contend
that they all come from the same
stock.
At present there are a number Of
cases pending in connection with ap-
plicatlons Of Hindus and Turks to be-
come citizens Of the United States,
which are being fought by federal Of
flcials.

The Saints, or Church of God, have

city park for the last ten days. The
meetings have been well attended. A
number of speakers from a distance
have been present at different times
and also local members have assisted
Among the chief speakers was the
Rev. G.. w. Bailey of Spokane, who
spent several years as a missionary
in India; also a native missionary OF
India was present and gave several
addresses about his native land, their
beliefs and customs. He attracted
much attention with his native dress
and peculiar headgear. The park is
an ideal place for campmeeting and
looks very pretty end imposing with
the large tabernacle in the center
surrounded by sixteen sleeping tents
and large dining hall and kitchen.
The tents and grounds are wired for
electric lights and in the evening the
singing and speaking can be heard for

there was baptismal service and a
convert was put in the mlllrace which
runs through the park. There were

Mr.. LEE ON POLITICAL DUTIES.

The young men who attended religious services at
the Y NJ c. A. Sunday should be benefited by the
talk of Mr.. o. E. Lee, prominent member of the Salt
Lake bar, and a very high type of the American
citizen.
1t probably out of regard to the popular
domination of politicians that Mr.. Lee was introduced
"a out of politics.; and the speaker promptly
corrected that unintentional blunder. He declared
himself in politics, and made it clear that it is the
duty of every citizen to be in politics.
Never a tTuer word spoken. That is a bad
fashion which leads to regard politics as I'M
clean, and politicians unworthy. Politics is no
more and less than the process Of selfgOvernment
In absolute monarchy there is need of politics
and no place for politicians But in a land where
the people govern themselves every man should be
politician, if he wants his liberties protected And
in Utah, where all enjoy the rights of the franchise
it is the dutyas it is the privlege-of women to also
interest themselves.
When American citizens decline TO take any part
in politics, they can have no reason to complain of
bad officials; of bad government When they take an
interest in politics. help select their delegates to con-
vention, express themselves clearly and firmly on
public questions, follow their work the their
personal influence in instructing the voters and final
y in deposting their ballots-then there will be good
government
And never until then.

SHALL SHEETS BE INDICATED?

George Sheets is actual head of the police depart
ment Of Salt Lake. Barlow is wearing the cap of
chief, and drawing at least a part of the pay But
Sam named for the sole purpose of populating the
red light district; and until Bransford shall be elected
again the nominal chief is condition of innocuous
desUetude,
George Sheets does not express the average char
acter of the American party membership He was
actual chief at the time of the McWhirter robbery
The McWhirters had ten thousand dollars in cash
and bunko gang that being protected by the
chief and that paying for protection stole the
money. One of them pretended to be a policeman and
brought the victim to police headquarters. There in
the of the chief the bogus officer stood wear
ing police badge, and never arrested BY Sheets.
There Sheets got thousand dollars from the thieves
it to McWhirter and hurried him out of the CITY,
The Tribune defended Sheets, and does so yet 1t
land, and had the hardihood to claim that the set
Element made by the chief was regular and right
The best friends of the American party in the
light Of the evidence in that case, admitted that
Sheets was either fool a knave. People who
know him at all admit that Sheets is no fool There
is only one conclusion And by that judgment George
Sheets never should be indicated
But there is absolute unity of purpose in the pres-
ent campaign of Bransford Sheets and Muvey 4
vote for one is vote for all. And Bransford can bv
no means claim consideration withheld from the other
two. He will have to carry them.

THE REPUBLICAN CAUSE is STRONGER.

With each passing day there comes additional
strength 10 the Republican in the present city
campaign.
Men of calm sense and reason see more and more
clearly that with the continued dominance of the
American party the loot of the city will constantly
increase The bosses strong that they hesi-
tate at little If they Endorsed by the people in
the November election. it is clear they will feel them
selves secure TO go the limit And they will go there
and beyond.
Men who believe that politics should be a free and
untrammeed expression of the wishes Of the people
are frightened at the American party butchery of
those who do not please the bosses 1t has become
clear that man can lift voice in that party in
the slightest degree criticsng the leaders There is
cruel tyranny in the management of the American
party brutal and fatal than has ever been
known in any American city.
Men who believe in the first principle of repre-
sentative government-the responsibility Of Officials to
the peope-view with alarm the open and arrogant
declaration of the American party machine that mo
officer elected appointed in this city is responsible
TO the people for the honest administration of his Of
fee" Never more dangerous doctrine an
nounced And it is the very foundation of the Amer
lean party rule
Men of every party recognize the fact that respon-
sibity for the improvement made in Salt Lake in the
past few years is directly work of the Republican
party expressed in the laws providing for scrip:
and after that attributable TO the desire of all persons
matter what the of their party, to have the
streets improved to get a better sewer system to
generally advance the city since the Republican pol
icy in the nation had made Salt Lake people pros
porous. and they could afford the improvement
The cause of the Republican party is getting
stronger in the city, because it deserves to be stronger
The interests of the public the cause good
ment, the freedom of the individual the equal rights
of al-these demand defeat Of the so-caed Amer
lean ticket And the splendid campaign that is MAX
ing by the Republicans is gratifying to all good
citizens

WILLIAM INsco BUCHANAN.

The nation loses a valuable man in the death OF
William Insco Buchanan, who was found dead in
London on Sunday. Curiously enough, the telegraph
liam B." and William E." but men who knew him
first at the head of the agricultural department at the
Worlds Columbian exposition at Chicago, will best
remember him as Billy I. Buchanan" the second in
tial being forgotten.
Mr. Buchanan proved himself one of the biggest of
that company of American citizens developed at the
Chicago fair-a company which included ]. F. v.
skiff and Moses P. Handy, and H. n. Higinbotham,
and John Root and David H. Burnham. Mr. Buchan-
was of the first the value of increasing
trade with the countries of Latin America and the
exhibits in his department were tribute the excel
lence of his administration And when the Chicago
fair closed, he was sent into South America in d
diplomatic capacity, and there advanced the great
for which the nation should always gratefully
remember James G. Blaine, the leader of all move
ment to a better trade relation with those peoples.
Since that time. he has been one of the republics
most capable and trusted agents for the accomplish
ment of delicate missions in various countries. He
knew many languages and was cordially beloved by
the people of many countries. He could have filled
with credit any diplomatic post to which his govern
ment might send him. And he certainly the
way to high diplomatic honors
Mr.. Buchanan was born in Ohio in 1853 and had
in Iowa, before being intrusted with the big
Chicago. In politics he had always been Democrat
His death is a loss not easily repaired.

BETTER LEAVE HIM ALONE,

The thanks Of the world are due to Johnson, the
prizefghter. He is making it daily clearer that the
highest hOnOrs and the richest rewards of the prize
ring are not for white men,
And the friendly advice of all to Jefries should be
to leave the black man alone.
That interview with Ketchel on Saturday makes 1t
clear that Johnson immensely overtops any possible
white competitor. There never moment when
he could not have crushed Ketchel And Ketchel is
very much the best man that has gone against him.
Compared with Tommy Burns, he is clearly i'll a class
by himself
Whatever Jeffries may have been when at his best
is matter of pure speculation. What he is now is
fairly well known. And in the light of that twelfth
round on Saturday, the best that be hoped
Jenres case is that he may the wisdom of keep
ing away from Johnson. The negro is a fighting ma
chine. Hostility Of crowds makes no impression on
him. Blows received find him only more aggressive
Re is far too strong far too clever far too wicked
in conflict to permit the hope that any white man
living can take his championship away from him.
Let him keep it.

THE RED FLAG IN EUROPE.

The needlessness of the sacrificed That is the phase
of the Ferrer case that will appeal to the world The
man good representative of the best in Spain.
He not a terrorist, hater of order. He had
given his life to the advancement of his people in
education. Probably in Spain doing bet
ter more effective work than he in teaching the
people the rudiments of knOwledge-the very thing
which Spanish people most need. In the illterate
nation he doing marvels of enlightenment.
The rule of Spain is heavy hand on the common
people. They have not the freedom that is enjoyed
in England, in Germany. They vastly more
oppressed than any other land, unless we except
Russia. And they do share the Russian passivity
and indifference,
Ferrers speeches along the lines of industrial and
political freedom read like the rabid utterances
that worthy royalty. They appeal to the
better qualities of his compatriots.
Spain is badly advised. In weak it
would have been the part of wisdom to placate oppo
sition so strongly based in reason. 1t would have
the part discretion recognize the element
which could do much for the Strengthening of the
royal cause, and for the betterment of the whole
ton. To send Ferrer to be shot with his back to a
wall was not only offensive to the whole cause of
human liberty. the world over it something
close to suicidal for the king and his party.
And if it shall involve the whole world in vengeful
demonstrations, nothing will be clearer than that the
world will have to interfere for the enlghtenng and
setting right of the incOmpetents, who from the
ital of Spain assa the peace and order of all civza
ton.

JAMES MURDOCH FOR MAYOR OF SALT LAKE

One time a friend asked Mr. James Murdoch, Re
publican candidate for mayor of Salt Lake, how he
accumulated his fortune. And the canny Scotchman
replied
We'll. in the first place. I haven't much But
what there is of it came because 1 always observed
the rule of living within my income"
And that is one of the things which make him fit
to be mayor of this city.
The wild and reckless manner Of administration
which has obtained in the past four should be
checked in the interest of the people. There is no
need of checking improvement at the time. But
there is need of holding the city to expenditures en-
1irely within the limit of the city's revenues.
There is another rule of Mr. Murdoch's life, and
one which surely should be considered in summing up
his qualifications for office When he is mayor, the
people will know what is being done with the money
they spend.
When a dollar of the peoples cash is paid out, they
viii know where it has gone.
Perfect frankness with the people, perfect sin
cerity in making report them-will be the rule of
the Murdoch administration.
1t is time for an opening of the books. The city
paid twenty thousand dollars for a new system of
bookkeeping-one by which the officials could make
prompt report the condition of the finances in
department. And they We're five months making their
last annual report.
And it will be their last too.
Under the Murdoch rule absolute honesty in the
expenditure of the public money; the prompt and
clear accounting TO the people for their cash; the
good business method keeping within the revenues
these will be some of the reforms that Mr. Murdoch
will naugurate.
salt Lake has seen reason enough to want that
kind of a government.

The WEAKNESS OF MR. eRANsFoRp.


No should be elected TO the office of mayor
who will permit the bosses of his party control him.
And no informed in Salt Lake will question the
statement that Mr.. Bransford has, from the begin
ming, been dominated by the gang in control Of his
party machine
There was the case of Mr.. Devine One chief of the
fire department had followed the American party
rule so assiduously that he had to run away because
he had wasted the fund provided by the fremen for
the care of their disabled members. Another chief
had to be appointed. The mayor asked James Devine
TO take the place. Mr. Devine consented, and the
Tribune edtorally declared it the best selection that
could be made-which probably true A number
of the councilmen met the mayor and Mr.. Devine,
and promised their votes to confirm the appointment,
Before the meeting of the council the bosses of
the party got together and rebeled They denounced
Devine, and made the characterless editor of the
Tribune write another editorial calling Devine turn
coat, and otherwise Safeguarding him. The council
men who had promised to sustain the nomination of
Devine dragooned by the gang into breaking
their word. The city recorder, candidate for
the council had the name of Devne ready to send to
the council the councilmen felonously alb
stracted it. The mayor badgered by the heeers
of the party and in spite of his profane declaration
that ne would stand by Devine, he weakened-and
they selected a Kentucky septua genarian for the
place-God knows why-and confirmed him.
There was the case of Burbidge. Burbidge was
captain or ponce, promoted through long years of
faithful service to place of honor in the department
As in the of Devine there question of
his ability his honesty his courage, his effective
service to the city. But he is Mormon and he must
be driven from the department. The mayor again de-
clared with such language cannot be printed that
he would stand by Burbidge-and then he let them
force that man out of the department to the eternal
shame Of the gang and the utter discredit of the
mayor who bowed the knee.
And there is Kelsey. For four years the American
party managers have boosted the work that Kelsey
did. It his work that proved their case to the
beholder He was the city engineer Under his hand
all the work of paving and sidewalk and was
accomplished But the gang wanted Mcmillan for
mayor, and Kelsey wanted Bransford. The gang
couldn't force Mcmillan the party, but they could
drive Kelsey out of office for opposing them. And
they did. And Mayor Bransford stood by while they
did it. The man who had befriended him was allowed
to gO-when square in the mayors office would
have fought to the bitter end rather than publish
himself sgnally Ungrateful.
You it isn't good service to the city that Mr.
BransfoTds bosses want 1t is service to the BOSSES
And he is just weak enough to give them their way.
That sort of man should never be in the chair of
mayor

interest.

serve from any one state Mr.. Kearns however rises
above such commOnplaces the constitution, and
makes senator of a man whom the people of Iowa
have never yet elected to that Office. and who has
not ye-so far the rest of the world is concerned
been seen on the floor of the senate.
We think the former secretary and now Senator
Shaw referred to by Mr. Kearns is the Albert Shaw,
who was long and honorably known as secretary of
the treasury. He very likely will make good SEN
ator. We are pleased at his promotion, and shall
watch the experiment of three members of the United
States senate from Iowa.
