According to this story the editors

So far as all that part of it is con-

and specifications as TO how those edi,

wanting.
But if the attention of the editors

sentiment that will demand the en-

LODGES DAMAGING ADMISSIONS.

Senator Lodges defense of the new
tariff law was unique in this, that he ad-
mitted the crude and unscientifc class
ifcations in the law, but said that
these were because of the "crude and
unscienti6c method" necessitated in the
preparation of that law by the fact that
Congress had not the proper informa-
tion to go upon; but now that we have
n tariff board which will get this in
formation, better results can be had
when another revision is made. All
of which is plea in abatemnet rather
than an actual defense of the tariff
law, 1t is saying, in effect, that Con
gress has done the best it could in a
crude and unscientifc way.
1t is noteworthy in this connection
that this very tariff board upon which
Senator Lodge places so much reliance,
was actively and viciously opposed by
the "stand-patters. The very idea
of such a board implied another revi.
sion of the tariff; but with the "best
tariff ever enacted on the statute
books" as some of the "stand pat.
ters' claim this new law TO be, why
should there be another revision7 In
fact, the American Tariff League is
especially severe on President Taft be-
cause he insists that he has a tariff
board and demanded an appropria-
tion to enable it to do its work. the
League sensing the fact that this meant
that the tariff must be revised on bet
ter lines The stand -patters fought
vigorously against that appropriation,
and it was only under the severest
pressure from the White House that the
money was given to allow the tariff
board to get to work, The Cannon and
Aldrich factions in the House were
so little inclined to make this appro-
priation that it looked for awhile as
though to ask it was hopeless. But Pres
ident Taft made an imperative demand
that the appropriation be made, and
it was made. And now Senator Lodge
rests his defense on the efficacy Of this
very board which was so much in dis
favor by the faction with which he him.

His Inconsistency is plain. There
was no intention OH the part of his
faction IN Congress to create a tariff
board for the work to which Presi-
dent Taft has put it. 1t was the pur-
pose of the stand-patters' in pass
ing the new tariff law to have done
with the question for years to come,
But the very activities of this tariff
board will necessarily imply fur

time, Senator Lodge expressly CON

at all, is the chief cornerstone OF Sen.

'INTERFERENcE' IN NICARAGUA

The dispatches Indicate that in Mic.
of Intervention by the United States
for the restoration of peace and the
enforcement Of order and civilized gov
ernment; and the Washington dis
patches indicate that there is such a
movement there also, in favor of such
intervention. almost necessarily in fa-
vor of Estrada. We should say, how-
ever, that as to the matter of inter
vention, it is not thing that is to be
taken; as matter of fact, it has
been taken. The United States inter
vened there from the first and decided
in favor of Estrada, and against Ze-
laya. Secretary Knox expressly stated
to Zelaya s Minister that Estrada was
a better representative of the people
of Nicaragua than was Zclaya, then
at the head of the Nicaragua govern
ment The attitude of the United
States has not changed in this from
the first We have thrown obstacles
in the way of Zelaya, and afterwards
in the way of Madriz, his successor.
We have supported the revolutionary
ovement in every way we could. with
out openly coming out in battle for it.
We have given Estrada everything but
official recognition, and have helped
his cause by everything short of an
open espousal Of it with an armed sup
port,
We do not know that it would not
be the very best thing to do, to come
out in support of Estrada and establish
has sovereignty in Nicaragua. But this
thing of talking about Intervention, ne
if we had not already intervened, is
sheer nonsense, and should be stopped.
We have done everything but the overt
act, and perhaps H. is time tn do even
! that.

at his temerity in urging the prospec-
tive activities and benefits of this board
in his own behalf. IL is a remarkable
climb down of the perch by Senator
Lodge, and is the first great evidence
of the awakening of the "regulars' to
the peril of their position when they
confront the people and undertake to
cram their bunko tariff law down their
throats
Senator Lodge does not dare to rest
his case upon the tariff law which he
helped to enact, but he places his de-
fense squarely upon the proposition that
the tariff board which he did not want
to create at all, is going to do better
work than is shown in this "crude and
unscientifcn tariff law. When this
board, which he contemned, gets i'll its
work, then he hopes that there will be
tariff law passed which will not be
crude and unscientifc. There is a de-
fense for you! 1t is, in fact, complete
abandonment Of the "stand pat" posi-
ton, a square revorsion to tho platform
of the 'insurgent' Republicans. And
if that is the best that stand
patter' can do in Massachusetts,, which
was especially favored by this crude
and unscientifc tariff law, what pos
sihle defense can the stand-patters
have before the people of the United
States elsewhere who have suffered
injuries and did not receive benefits
from that law7

NEWS" ON TRAIN ROBBERY.

The church organ, in its insane and
stupid fury against the American party,
took occasion on Tuesday night to re.
vamp some of its lies against the
Liberal rule of former days, and to
utter the silly falsehood that "the
word has gone forth in the underworld
that this part of Utah is pretty safe
place for criminal operations, and the
result is that we have hold-ups, murder,
robbery, and attempted robbery by the
wholesale. - This in its discussion of
the late train robbery at Ogden.
In commenting thus on that train
robbery, the church organ seems TO be
confused as to localities. The robbery
was in Weber county, beyond Ogden,
and not in Salt Lake City. The Salt
Lake police did not commit that rob.
berry, nor was any American party
leader engaged in it.. The location of
the train robbery was not in an Ameri.
can jurisdiction, but in a jurisdiction
wholly under the control Of the church
chosen, church-favored civil officials
The American party nor the Liberal
party is not in the least chargeable
for that crime. 1t was a crime. pure
and simple, and not a political move
ment or campaign, as the church
organ seems to suppose. That robbery
was not performed in obedience to the
resolution of any political party or
II
any political committee nor by the
sanction or connivance of the officers
of any political organization We say
these things for the relief and edifica-
tion of the church organ, which seems
to be tremendously at sea in all this
matter.
We sa" also, to relieve its mind
on the further proposition that the
people here ought to all get together,
bar all differences, and work for the
maintenance of law and order,' that
there is no difference of opinion about
that. The American party is far more
Jealous than any church party for the
enforcement of the law and mainten-
ance of order. The American party
has no secrets up its sleeve; it is
In no way advocating any violation
of law or breach of peace and order 1t
has no polygamy revelations concealed
about its person, and is in no wise con
cerncd in the shielding of polygamists
or other criminals from the law.
When the church party, either in its
church or civil capacity, can show as
clean a bill of health in all these mat
tiers as the American party can show,
then it will be time for the church
organ to take few steps upwards from
its present degraded plane and Join
with the American party in a genuine,
unreserved demand for the full en-
forcement Of the law, the complete
maintenance of order, and the equal

for whatever crime he may have COM

THE GREAT VICTORY.

1t is a great victory for Salt Lake
interior region. Salt Lake City wins
on all points OF it's case; that is the
welcome news that comes by wire from
Washington The case referred TO is the
railroad rate case prepared moro than
n year ago, and heard before the Com
mission last December.
1t will be remembered that originally
the case was sent direct to President
Taft. This aroused widespread public
attention, and called forth a letter from
President Taft which undoubtedly has
had its effect in speeding the hearing
and in the determination of the case.
The main contention of Salt Lake
City as urged in the case was that Utah
points should have relief from over
charges by the railroads on passenger
and freight traffic. The claim was that
we should not only not be charged more
for freight from the East to this city
than is charged for like freight from
the East to the coast, but that we
should be charged less, Likewise, on
eastbound freights, the claim was that
we should not only not be charged more
&C. % yla cf hur
charged for like freights from the
coast, but that we should be charged
less. Specifically it was shown that
shippers of wool could send their woods
to Los Angeles and from there ship
them to the East cheaper than they
could ship direct from Salt Lake City,
and a correction of this anomaly and
abuse was asked. There was also asked
local relief in various other directions
from unjust and extortionate charges.
And now, without waiting for years
as Spokane had to wait, without wait
ing an interminable time for the relief
TO be put into effect, we are to get that
relief The decision was rendered with !
in six months after the hearing, and the
relief may surely be expected at the
end of ninety days, when the compare
i've accounts which the railroads are
ordered to keep are examined by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
1t is all very splendid work. and all |
very gratifying to Salt Lake City and !
other Utah points. The average re-
iuction all around Is said to amount |
% about eighteen per cent, on the
freights to and from the coast, so far
as the order is specific in immediate re-
auctions; it not being so yet on freights
20 and from the East 1t is, of
course, difficult to make absolutely ac-
,urate computations of this kind, but |

For getting this great benefit we
lave the Commercial Club Traffic Bu-
eau to thank primarily, and coequally
he Jealous work and thorough knowl-
edge of Commissioner Babcock, whose
experience and ability have been an
indispensable guide throughout. The
'ase has terminated most satisfactorily;
nothing better could possibly have been
Isked. The specific schedules asked
or by the Traffic Bureau have not been
conceded, and perhaps may not be con-
,eded when the final order is made,
o be sure, but enough of ap-
1roach to them has been made to sat
sly every reasonable person. 1t is a
great victory that will be greatly and
gratefully appreciated.
