GOOD MEN FOR Office.

The Tribune thus early in the cam
lean party the necessity of making the
best possible nominations for the legis
latve and county ticket in Salt Lake
County this year. nominations that will
themselves be the best possible cam
paign material. The American party
principles it represents, and owes it to
the public to put mono but the best
men forward for office
We believe that there is genuine
disposition on the part of the Amer.
lean party leaders and rank and file TO
do this. There is high standard of
character, of fitness, and of efficiency
required in the American party. if 1t
would live up TO its profession and prin-
ciples, in the selection of officials to do
tion of Salt Lake demonstrates this
fully, and the work Of that admins
tration is so good, so attractive, thar
the people of the county in large num-
bers have petitioned to come into the
city to get the benefits of that admin
istration.
We have on account of this annexed
Waterloo. SUGAR House ward and MUM
ber of other desirable divisions. to the
mutual benefit of those communities
and of the city. There have been other
moves toward annexation by reason of
the attractive quality of the American
party administration OF Salt Lake; so
that it is fair to assume that the peo-
pie adjoining the city are pleased with
the way the city affairs are being con
Quoted, and wish to participate in the
benefits conferred.
1t is not unreasonable TO assume that
the county at large would like to enjoy
these benefits, 1t can enjoy them, and
the American party offers 1T the oppor
tunity to reap the benefits of Amer
lean administration bv the election of
the American ticket at the polls on the
Sth of November next.
But, as said in the beginning, in or
der TO make this benefit sure and to
show in the most convincing manner
to the people of the county that they
will be benefited by American admins
tration, it is necessary that none but
the best men. men of ability, of char
acter, of fitness and Of integrity be put
upon the ticket AS said before, there
is consensus of party opinion every
where that this should be done, We
believe that it will be done, and with
that done there is not the least ques-
tion in our mind of magnificent tri-
umph for the American party at the
November election.

MIR. RoosEvELT'S SPEECHES.

The tone of self lf-suAicicncy, authority,
in fact, of autocratic power assumed III
Mr.. Roosevelt IS speeches is one of the
most remarkable exhibits of insolence
with the people that has ever been seen
in this country. He arbitrarily assumes
that he is able to do heroic deeds, that
he has the power, from the people, or
from Almighty God. not only to speak
brave words but to do courageous deeds.
In Cleveland he said: 81 will make
the corporations come to time and l
will make the mob come to time. i
shall insist on honesty If it breaks up
the best business Of the land, and shall
insist upon order under all circum-
stances. - Well. so do we all so insist !;
but we insist as citizens, and 10 not
claim that we are going to "make'
corpora tions do this or that and
"make" mobs desist from their law
less work. Right there is where Mr..
Roosevelt puts himself in position
altogether above the ordinary citizen,
and IN fact above the executive forces
of the country, above the courts, and
above Congress. He alone, individually
and personally, will do these things,
The question must naturally occur, by
what right? How does Mr.. Roosevelt
intend to proceed in his "malingsq''
The Kaiser the other day undertook to
say what he was going to do as the
instrument of God. regardless of pass
ing views and opinions, He would dis
regard the passing opinions of every
body and do what he concluded right
"by Gods grace alone.' Public opin-
ion in Germany promptly brought him
to time, and compelled him to qualify
that speech by saying that this com
pulslon was not upon him any more
than upon all good citizens of Germany,
since 1T was the duty of all to work for
the best interests of the Fatherland.
But nobody undertakes to call Mr..
Roosevelt down from his perch. In fact.
the people seem To like to have him 90
staggering around the country in this
way. blowing about what he is going
to do as if he were something higher
even than the Emperor or spoke by
some authority even greater than di-
vine right,
In his speech at Fargo on Monday he
took up the cause of the labor unions,
but warned them that they must not
follow anybody but him. At least, that
is the inevitable inference from his
talk The laboring men were not to
follow their radical leaders. They were
not to use their organizations except
as Roosevelt directed the way. The la
Dor unions. he said, are necessity Of
modern life but they should guard
against unwise leadership. This is
sound enough, but who is to lend them
wisely! Mr.. Roosevelt IS idea evidently
is that he is the God-appointed one to
do it, and when taken in connection
with the general tone of his arbitrary
assumptions, about what he is going to
dn and to "make,' the conclusion is

TAFT ON CONSERVATION.

President Taft in his speech open
Paul took pains throughout to rest his
case explicitly in every point upon the
law. In no case did he set forth any
proposition or idea that the chief ex
| ecutive or any Of his cabinet minis
ters could proceed without warrant OF
choose, law or no law
His speech was exactly the opposite
and was founded on antagonistic prin-
ciples to the procedure of Pinchot and
to the idea so vociferously eXpounded
by Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt IS idea
appears to be that if what he wants
done is unlawful. then so much the
worse for the law; he will do it any
way. President Taft, on the contrary,
says that if there is no law for it, it
must not be done
President Taft was distinctly op'
posed to the idea of turning the con-
troll of the public domain for conserva
tion or any other purposes over to the
States, He assumes as a matter OF
course, of fact and of law, that the
control necessarily rests in the general
government, and must remain there,
In explanation of his own acts in
reserving various lands, agricultural,
mineral, forest, coal. oil and gas. phos-
phate, and water power, from entry,
he pleads an express law authorizing
him to do So He does not claim that
there is any authority vested in the
executive to do these things save as
expressly authorized by statute. In
this he is emphatically on solid ground.
and must necessarily be supported by
the courts and by the public.
At the same time, IL is evident that
President Taft does not wish to break
with Mr. Roosevelt on the conservation
policy. He gives him almost extrava-
CANT praise as the originator of CON
servation, and enormously so, too, be.
cause the conservation idea has been
before the public upwards of fifty years.
and every decade or SO in acute form,
AT the same time, the studied effort of
L TtSlucut III u w slNV i'toSNNip pih
and his evident anxiety not to deprecate
the Roosevelt bumptiousness is evident
throughout his speech.
We may mention in passing that The
Tribune was the only paper yesterday
morning to give President Taft S speech
to the public so that the people of this
region could see exactly what it was
that the. President said before this con
gress. The Smoot organ, which claims
to be such a great supporter of Presl-
dent Taft, passed his speech up with
mere scrappy extracts which give very
little satisfaction TO those who want
to know what he actually said. And
this is only one of the big differences
between a real newspaper and mere
makc-believe such as the Smoot organ
always is.

irresistible that he applauds unions IN
so far only as they will follow him.
In his speech at st. Paul yesterday,
he accepted Taft 8 homage TO him, ten
dered the day before, as his just due,
assailed Representative Tawney openly,
and declared that as President he would
not have obeyed the law, if an amend
ment proposed by Mr.. Tnwney had been
incorporated in the law, his excuse bo'
ing that the law would have been un-
constitutional, thus arrogating to him
self the right to so decree, and thereby
usurping the high function Of the U, s.
Supreme Court.
We have never had in this country
before, in public life, anything like the
type of man of Mr. Roosevelt. Bryan
is perhaps the nearest approach to him
but as between the two Bryan is a
feeble, colorless imitator. Roosevelt
is the real thing He has the popular
pull. He knows it, and he ventures
upon the thinnest kind of ice without
culver of mind or of body. He is
clearly the boss dcmagogue, and the
country is watching him with an inter
est not free from anxiety to see just
what course be is going to take.
II is certain that he can make an i'm
mensity of trouble for the Republic.
He does not deliberately want to make
this trouble. but his course inevitably
leads to that, and it is hard to see how
he is going to avoid the inevitable con-
sequences Of his own position and dec.
larations.

THE SWENSON FINDING.

Some time ago charges were made
against County Surveyor Swenson to
the effect that some of his deputies
paid by the public were used on pm
vate surveying business of his own.
These deputies demanded pay for that
private work, aside from their official
pay by the public. On these charges
the county commissioners. after hear
ing the case, have entered a plea of
non-iurisdiction, "We have no juris-
diction over the private affairs of the
County Surveyor is the effect Of the
finding of the commissioners. But the
very gist of the charges was that the
deputies paid by the public were used
for private work; and if the commits
sioners have no jurisdiction In such n
case, then it is not easy to see why
that sort of trespass upon public right
should not be extended to other offices.
II it is none of the business of the
county commissioners when the County
Surveyor uses deputies without paying
them other than their public pay to do
private surveying, then other survey
ors in the county are put at disad
vantage as compared with the County
Surveyor, because every private sur
veyor has to pay his own help and the
County Surveyor does not. This is
manifest injustice to the surveying pro
fessIon, and is also an imposition upon
the public.
If 1T is none Of the business of the
county commissioners when the County
Surveyor does that sprt of thing, it
would be none of the business of the
commissioners if the County Recorder
got up a set of abstracts for himself
using his office force paid by the public.
compiling and entering the records,
making abstracts that would be worth
after he retired from office anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000. Manifestly,
no private abstract company could com.
pete with that sort Of work The pub.
lie would be setting the Recorder up in
magnificent private business at no
cost to himself
II the County Surveyor can do what

can set up a real estate business, using
his deputies for the work and the coun-

porations have to c3pend large sums of

county's paid deputies therefor The
County Auditor could do the same. the
County Attorney the same, the County
Clerk the same and could also invade
the publishing field for judicial and le.
gal documents, all at the public ex.
pense.
1t is shocking pcrversion of ius-
tice and of right to see a deliyerance
OF this kind from the county commits
sioners. 1t throws the door wide omen
for all kinds of fraud, graft, and grabs.
The best thing that the county com.
missioners can do in the interests of
the public and in justice to the whole
community is to reconsider that find
ing and put their conclusions on an
honest, lawful basis, which certainly
