THE SALTAIR KILLING.

The Council did the right thing in
finally killing the Saltair franchise
measure on Monday evening. That pest
should have been eliminated from The
situation long ago. It has been a stand
lug invitation to falsehood and mis-.
representation for long time As il
stood, there was no check on the pro
moters of sale, let us say, making
any sort of representation they chose to
Eastern capital. They could have said
that the franchise was before the Coun.
cll with a favora Bile report, with every
indication of the Council agreeing to
the franchise as asked And if capital
had applied here for report on the
official status before the Council of this
measure, the reply would necessarily
have been largely corroborative of the
representation made in trickery and
deceit. That is, the status of the fran
chise before the Council was. so far as
officially appeared, false one,
There has been not the least likeli-
hood of the passage of this franchise
for long time past. There has not
been any sentiment here in favor of it.
either IN tho Council or unoffcially
throughout the city, There has been
no one to speak a good word for it;
there has not been the least likelihood
Of the granting of that franchise for
a long time past; and yet 1t was in
such a position before the Council that
the promoters of sale, with the APP
pearancc of truth, could have given an
utterly false idea of its status. 1t was
certainly well to destroy thai false i'm.
preston, and to cffectually dispose of
this pestiferous measure. which never
had any business at all to have received
even apparent favorable consideration

AS long as the President is in Washing

1t WAS President Taft's intention to

USE OF THE big STICK ,

The "regulars'' of the Republican
majority in the House have evidently
absorbed little wisdom from the Sc,
we're lesson administered to them a
short while ago. Then they stood for
Cannonism and all that is implied
in the term, They wouldn't hear OF
any proposition to amend the House
down Cannon power; they were
satisfied with everything Just as it was
But alas for their stubhornness! The
majority of the House insisted on
amending the rules so that member
could not be downed and throttled at
sight by the Speaker; and the position
of Cannon as Speaker was so serious
~ threatened that his friends feared
he would be doposcd 1t was a triumph
for the insurgents, (among whom
the Democrats must be counted and a
disastrous defeat for the "regulars,"
Just recently there has come an an,

with favorite measures grew impatient
at this practice, and demanded the
right to call such bills from the com.

worked up in favor of this propo.

expose again their weakness, and de-
cided that discretion is the better part

insurgent camp. and their only anxiety
was TO FIX up the amendment to the

HIS DEFECTIVE NARRATIVE.

We see, by consulting full report of
Apostle Smoot s speech at Boston as
published in the Deseret News of last
Saturday. that he presented to distin.
gWshed Bostonians story that must
have been interesting to his intelligent
auditors only in so far as it revealed TO
them the lengths to which crcdulous
humanity may be imposed upon by the
cunning Of tho criminal minded sloth.
1t was the old Mormou story that WAS
garrulousy repeated by Smoot. He told
how the Mormon people had been in
duced to believe that Joseph Smith, the
founder of their alleged religious faith,
had seen his bedroom filed with bright
lights and consuming fires, out of which
came glorious personages announcing
their arrival direct from heaven; how
these heavenly visitors later conferred
certain supposed priesthoods upon Smith
and Oliver Cowdery in restoration TO
the earth for the first fime since the
great apostasy. And so on, and so on.
.Bostonians are polite-renowned all
over the country as having established
in tbcir town che hub of refnemca%.
Naturally they would not smile in
Reed IS face at his apparent or as
sumcd gullibility; but that is not 10 sav
what their innermost feelings in all
probality were. So we believe it to be
