oLEoMAReARINE in CONGRESS.

Congressman Clayton the other day
took a shot at the internal revenue tax
on oleomargarine. Here is one passage
from his very excellent speech:
Take the tax off oleomargarine. You
can still enforce your law requiring it's
inspection and that it be branded as
OleOmargarine, giving the poor a chance
to butter their bread with an attractive
and wholesome article 1t will not drive
the inadequate supply of COW butter out
of the market, nor will it affect its
price. The only effect of the repeal of
the oleomargarine tax would be to give
the humble poor a chance to use this
good article of food at a cheaper price
than that now eXtOrted from them.
There is the whole case in a nutshell.
If the product is good, it should be sold
on its merits and if it is not good, it
should not be sold at all.
The revenue doesn't make it any bet
ter 1t only adds to the price.

INCONSISTENT "MA0AME X"

In the best patrOnized play that has
been seen in Chicago, Madame X" the
principal woman part is that of a young
mother who deserts her husband and
baby boy in Paris, and runs away to
America with a sporting man. After
twenty years of wandering about the
world, living a fast life and habituat-
ing herself to drugs, she and her latest
guilty partner return to Paris, where
the man discovers the present station
of her true husband-a very rich man.
and proposes to blackmail him. The
and on the trial is defended by her own
son, grown to manhood and become
proficient in the law. The woman re-
fuses to speak a word, even to giving
name.
1t is a small part Of the action that
the son secures an acquittal for her.
But the success of the plot hinges on
the noble reticence of the woman. And
that argues a strength, a constancy,
a response to fine sentiment which are
entirely impossible in the drug slave
which she reveals herself to be.
Those who saw Mrs. Carter in her
last appearance in Salt Lake will re-
member the agony of the victim of the
drug habit. That representation was
true, as most police officers and ma
irons know. In all the world there Is
no weakness so hopeless as that of the
drug fiend. Consistency is impossible
Nobility Of purpose and honesty even
of speech are quite out of the question
The drug fiend is a wreck.
All of which does not at all inter
| fere with the success of the piece. It
has been taken from Chicago in the
very height Of a successful run, and
transplanted to New York where it is
delighting crowded audiences nightly.
Which, if it shows anything, shows
that the eastern people are willing to
pay for being deceived.

CNE OF THE ROOSEVELT
POLICIES.

Just now the attention of Congress is
being devoted to a consideration of a
bill directly in line with one of the
policies advanced by Mr.. Roosevelt
when he was President. It may be
termed an employers liability bill; ard
if it shall reach enactment in
anything Ike its present form, it will
require employers doing an interstate
business to provide, as one of the
charges Of their business, for compensa-
lion to employees who are injured in
lie course Of their work.
The measure is in line with the Gus
tom observed in most European coun-
tries, and is believed to rest on justice
and right. 1t is a wide departure from
that principle which releases the en-
ployer in case the injury is inflicted by
the negligence of a fellow servant. 1t
proceeds on the principle that the risk
is there, and that it should be carried
by the employer rather than by the
employed.
The company has to stand the loss on
broken tools and WORKOUT machinery.
1t IS a logical argument against them
that they cannot put living labor into
a lower class. And they should not.
There probably is no inducement in the
world which will so swiftly compel the
introduction Of appliances which mini
mize the chances of injury and loss
of life as the knowledge that the
company must, in case Of accident, pay
to the injured a compensation measured
by his earning power when Well

DECLINE ANOTHER ELECTION.

United States Senator Flint of Cali
fOTnia has published a letter in which
he declares himself out Of the race for
reelection. He plainly announces his
reason to be that the primary law
makes necessary the expenditure of
sum of money which he cannot afford
TO devote to that purpose, even if he
desired to succeed himself. And he most
emphatically rejects the suggestion that
there are other men and interests that
would willingly supply him with the
needed funds. And that is to his
credit
At the same time Governor Gillette
Of the same state announces, in plenty
of time. that he will not be q candidate
for reelection, and he hopes that some
man from the north of the state Will
be selected for the next occupant of
the gubeTnatorial chair. Also, he says
he doesn't want to go to the United
States senate.
Here are two statesmen stepping
aside. 1t is preliminary to the position
of a statesman out of a job. We are
not sufficiently familiar with the Cali
fOrnia situation 10 know if the pub
lished announcement results from a be-
lief that they could not win again; but
we note in that letter of Senator Flint
a blow at the primary law which might
have been expected; and a recognition
of the necessity OF placating northern
California in the statement from Gov
erDOr Gillette

have a good military company. 1t is
a credit to any firm to so arrange as
that it's employees, within reason as to
number, may devote necessary time to
the duties Of guardsman. The drill
will consume about forty hours in even
mgs, each year. The encampment will
take ten days each summer. The asso-
Citations are good, the training benefit
cial, and the men are better citizens for
their responsible relation TO the govern
ment
Besides, in case of trouble, it is en-
pIoyers more than anyone else who
need the protection assured by the pres
ence of an adequate guard.
We believe our correspondent IS
wrong, and urge him to make trial.
Encourage the boys to join the guard,
and try it for a few years. We don't
believe that either loss or inconvenience
will be so great as has been anticipated.

THEIR OWN BUSINESS.

Editor ld-Republican: If your
business was interfered with every year
by numbers of your employees leaving
work to attend the encampments, you
would not be so willing 10 urge en-
ployers to encourage enlistments in the
Utah National Guard.
EMPLOYER.
In the first place, employees of The
Herald Republican are members Of the
guard, and they go to encampment
every year. And their absence doesn't
halt the progress of the paper, either
Also this paper doesn't carry any sur
plus help. Every man is needed. But
it is believed best TO give them perfect
liberty to render that service to the
state. It is doubtful if there is any
business house in the city, or in the
state, which could not give that ten
days liberty to a reasonable number
of its employees once year.
The thing has come to be a sort of
national obligation, The government
wants a force of citizen soldiery suf-
ficiently strong to avoid the necessity
Of maintaining a large regular army.
And the government cheerfully meets
the expense of the guard-a fund which
goes directly into the state establish

Frank Novak, Of near Quarry, who
was convicted of assault with intent
to commit criminal assault on Matte
Olson. an aged Quarry woman, was
sentenced to not more than twenty
years in the Fort Madison penitentiary

against Novak the same time as the
one on which he was convicted. was
dismissed by County Attorney j. H
Egermayer.
The case will be carried to the SUI
prere court by Novak's attorney, who
filed notice of appeal. and who secured
an order for a transcript Of the case at
the county's expense.
Novak's appeal bond was fixed at
$4,000 which it IS not likely that he
will be able to furnish. He will prob

Local Comment

Merritt Greene. of the executive
board of the county fair, thinks that
before any more buildings are erected
on the grounds an effort ought to be
made to sell the present grounds and
buy forty acres of the Binford land
adjacent to the city park where the
county fair could have room enough in
which to expand He says that forty
acres down there would be enough
cheaper than the town lot value Of
the present twenty 4 res to allow
enough to pay the cost of moving the
barns and of building a new track
With the magnificent native timber
there grounds could be developed
beautiful beyond description and with
both the city park and fair grounds at
the end of the same line the street car
company could well afford to build to
them. Then the Country Club could
pick up and move over into the Binford
land where it would be accessible to
the same car line. In fact the street
car company will have to build some
where very soon now for Its bonds ex-
pire in about two years and it can't re-
new its bonds until it renews it's fran
chise and 1t can't renew its franchise
until 1t builds some street car lines
The lecture of MIR. King upon good
roads was very interesting and Of much
value in that it stirred our people to
doing som ething and yet one can't help
but lament the fact that people will not
apply themselves more practically to
their problems than they do. King is
so far from being an expert on road
building that his public utterances at
times are ludicrous. He is not an en-
gineer and prefers to ridicule most OF
the scientific tenets of the profession.
He is essentially an evangelist His
forte is dictum and ridicule. His doc
trine is an exceedingly helpful one for
it is founded upon a belief that SO 1ong
as we have dirt roads they should be
dragged. To this extent he is right and
he is entitled to the same credit for
| success in his evangelism that belongs

cedar River Develops About 100 Horse
Power at Iowa Town

The water works committee of the
city council visited Waverly, Iowa, Fri
day 10 inspect a water power plant in
operation there. They found a very
simple plant developing about 100 horse
power for pumping and generation OF
electricity, and the Waverly officials
seemed 10 think that their water power
was a success. The Cedar river at
Waverly is very much larger than the
Iowa river here. so some members of
the committee are in favor of visiting
Eldora on Monday where a water
power is about to be installed in the
Iowa river. The Waverlv water power
cost $4,000 to install bur it is estimated
that the one here would cost $4,000
or more

certainly does get converts when every

right up front to confess their sins and
acknowledge the faith. However. we
have among our own citizens two men
who know more about road building

1t is somewhat pitiful to watch the
unequal struggle between a majority OF
the council and the city enploye whom
1T is attempted to compel to perform
certain duties prescribed in the ordl-
nance creating his job. For six years
or more the council has been waiting
for the sewer and water main records
to be spread on a map and sometime
ago the mayor promised to see that the
employee performed the work by Oct. l..
meeting of the council was held last
Monday and most employees would
have been in a hurry to appear before
the council with the maps for exhibit
ton and demonstration Of duty Wen
performed, but not this one. He 'nigged.
The chairman Of the council begged
for leniency toward him and the mat
ter was put over until next Monday
night, seventeen days after the prom
ised delivery on Oct l. 1t is safe
prediction that when next Monday
nights meeting arrives there will still
be no maps. Herman will shout FOR
them but there will be either excuses
for no maps or such incomplete maps
as excuses that he will have wasted
his breath. The majority of the coun-
ell has not vet obtained anything for
the public service without fight and
it will not get these maps without one.
IN the meantime plumbers do not even
take the trouble to go to the city office
for these records because they know
that there are no records there and
they do not care to follow the employe
up to the club. They send out their
men to dig at the property owners ex-
pense until the pipes are found
There will be a report made to the
