with all the general Ills complained OF
In the liquor trafic. comes as closely
TO real temperance in results as any
thing yet tested in practice.
Taking this basis OF demonstrated
experience. the disciples Of really ef-
fective temperance in Utah have con-
sidered carefully the whole situation.
and the result Is the plan outlined In
the Republican state platform adopted
in the recent convention at Ogden IT'S
carrying out means statewide temper
ance, which every community IN this
state is DESTROYS OF enjoying; and Il
means that temperance without the
concomitants or dives and boot
leggers and speak-easies, which are
the invariable and inevitable COM
panions OF a statewide prohibition
that never prohibits. bur rather pro-
notes lawbreaking IN connection with
the liquor business.
Utah needs temperance. and needs
1t now. The Republican party has
promised II, II that party is given
control Of the next legislature. and the
Republican party keeps It's pledges
For this latter purpose It has adopted
local option and uniformly strict regu-
lation as the only effective system OF
attaining the promised end.
And that Is why the temperance adj
voeates who want the best results for
this state are supporting the Republi-
can ticket and policy. They mean bust
ness for the temperance cause. and not
fumings and rawlings and overzealous
hardness and vilification. which in tbs
end mean only injury 20 themselves
and the state.
The conclusion reached is the out
come OF elaboration by the cool, coll
/ lected mind, wherein the angry pas
sions have not been permitted to direct
any disturbing influence against calm
reason and judgment; and because of
that fact it is given full weight by un-
pre1udiced and thinking people
/ throughout the state.

II serves as an -I-am-holier-than-
thou collar TO fool uninitiated spec
tators.
King explained that he always had
been in favor OF g non-partisan gov
eminent IN municipal affairs. AT first
blush that made his hearers feel that
the Democratic ticket, as framed up
for this election, was the original,
SimOn-pure, undehled. non-partisan
ticket-the only one Of the kind yet
formulated in the worlds history. It
was not until next day that those hear
ers cleared themselves sufficiently from
the volume of yerbiage TO realize that
his declaration was merely an excuse
for preaching Democracy and voting
the American ticket.
Truly, under some circumstances,
the Hon. Bill King would be really
funny. He might even rival Artemus
Ward as a humorist. If only he had the
integrity OF Artemus-which he hasn't.
And that may be one OF the reasons
why Jesse Knight doesn't want King
to make any more speeches in Utah
county during this campaign. Uncle
Jesse doesn't want his own slim
chances made any simmer; he knows
something OF finances. and something
Of Mr.. King-as do some other people
in Utah county.
King said that Senator SmoOt took
an improper stand on the liquor ques-
ton. because he was ruled by "a little
gentleman who holds a federal posi-
ton" Since Mr.. King has drunk more
straight ardent spirits in one minute
than the aforesaid little gentleman"
has done IN his whole lifetime, the real
temperance people are not to be con-
WINGED that total abstention from alco-
holic beverages is an improper stand
on the liquor question.
But as 20 anyone ruling Senator
smoot, everybody who knows the SEN
ator or his record. also knows that the
senator is something OF a controlling
factor himself upon any matter in
which he takes a hand. He is gov
erned by one motive. aptly expressed
in the words. DO what is right, let the
consequences follow" This quality as
a ruling force, from his individual en-
ergy and strength Of character. has
been tested in his home town, county
and state. and in the highest legisla-
tive hall Of the greatest Of the nations.
That test has demonstrated Senator
Shoots superior quality as an individ-
Ual ruling force in methods as honor
able, untrammeled and upright as his
rise to national prominence. has been
meteoric and merited. But maybe that
statement was just one OF the Hon.
Bills witticisms
II was also asserted by King that
it was ''clear as Holy Writ that there
was an infamous deal between the Re
publican party and the whisky inter-
ests." There is at least one sentence
IN Holy Writ that is much clearer than
Kings conclusion. It reads:
Thou shalt not bear false witness. -
This half dozen words may have es-
capped Kings eye in his Bible reading.

Thus sang a Utah poet; and it is the

The rule invoked is specially apph-

that passion which INDUCES in calling
hard names. making false accusations,
and awakening emotional hysteria will
not do it. Putting the business into

Bringing whatever traffic in alcoholic
liquor is necessary into the light OF
day, under positive and direct control,
and open public official inspection. is
the only certain way TO success.
Let us put aside the anger which is
born OF Intolerance. and consider the
matter in the light or bare facts.
There are people on both sides of the
question who are clean and sincere.
The only unclean persons are those
who resort to accusation and vituper-
alton against the other side merely be-

Utah has never even tried a uniform

tried It. and have met with marked
success in eliminating dives and back
