THE NEW DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

The Roanoke Times and, perhaps.
other Democratic newspapers of the
State, are trying to make great poth-
er about the appointment of Mr.. Barnes
Gillespie as District Attorney and what
the Times calls "Mr. Moore's retire
ment." What the Times says about
the ability, popularity and merits of
Mr.. Moore is true; but its desire to use
the retirement of Mr.. Moore for the
purpose of melting fractional strife
among Virginia Republicans and hostility
against the Administration and Mr..
Slemp is too apparent to bear much
fruit. The Times says: '"This will
make another nail in Mr. Slemp's DO
litical coffin, will give Democrats and
free Republicans alike new reason for
throwing him out of Office
We don't know why the Times is so
ready co separate the Republicans of
the State into two classes, the free
Republicans" and the "Slemp ring
and why it is authorized to conclude and
assert what the so-called free Repub-
licans" will do. Are its conclusions
drawn from its experience as to what
free Democrats" have heretofore
done in the politics of Virginia? The
Times has always claimed to belong to
that class, as did its present editor while
editing the Richmond News Leader. In
the last campaign they were both hos
tile to the Machine candidate for cover
nor and proved his public record so dis
reputable as to warrant free Demo-
Gratis" in turning from him. Yet both
the Times and the News Leader after
wards exhorted the free Democrats
to give loyal support to the discredited
candidate. So, the advice of the Times,
now given to free Republicans for
an Interior purpose, ought not to and
will not receive much consideration by
true Republicans. All such will laugh
at the frantic efforts of the Times to
create confusion and discord in Republi-
can ranks because of the disposition of
Federal patronage in Virginia.
The Republicans of Virginia have a
very high regard for Mr.. Moore. but
they have chosen Mr.. Slemp for their
leader; and they will stand by him as
long as he does his duty intelligently
and fearlessly. The responsibility upon
him Is serious one, ard if he makes no |
greater political or personal mistake
than the endorsement of such man as
Barnes Gillespie for an important office,
the people will say to lim, "well done. q"
The people of the Ninth district, Re-
publicans and Democrats alike. are
pleased with his appointment as Dis
trict Attorney. He is recognized not
only In this section but throughout the
State as one of the ablest lawyers in
the Commonwealth; and he has proven
prosecutor of great ability.
The appointment of Mr.. Gillespie will
not weaken but will greatly strengthen
Mr.. Slemp in the Ninth district and en-
arge his influence throughout the State.

Ohio. Lurton of Tennessee and
Hughes Of New York.
Two vacancies have lately been
filled by the appointment Of Lurton
and Hughes. Lurton taking the place
OF Peckham and Hughes of Brewer.
1t will be seen at a glance that the
Eighth judicial district, Of which
Utah forms a part, is entitled to the
place.
Justice Brewer hailed from Kansas
in this district. but LurtOn having
been selected in place of the late JUS
tice Peckham Of New York. President
Taft evened up matters by the APP
pointment Of Gov. Hughes.
AS there we're two jurists from
Massachusetts on the bench the re-
tirement of Justice Moody will not be
followed by a demand for representa-

Such being the case there is no
good reason why this judicial district
should not receive the honor. more es-
pecially since there is 50 much avail

BRYAN BUTTED IN.

Just at the time the Democrats
are preparing to put their best foot
forward in the various states, along
comes Bryan with one or another Of
his propositions TO save the nation
in whole or in part.
The Ohio Democratic convention
will be called to order at Dayton to-
day. There is no opposition to the
denomination Of Governor Harmon
and up to a short time since every
thing was serene I'm the Democratic
camp.
Then Bryan butted in. The Ne
braskan insisted that a Democratic
candidate for United States senator
should be nominated by the state
convention. Governor Harmon is op-
posed to such action and so stated at
the time.
The line Of cleavage. however, is
marked in Ohio and the matter will
be fought out on the floor Of the con-
vention. the cohorts OF Tom Johnson
favoring the plan submitted by Mr..
Bryan. Evidently the thrice-defeated
presidential candidate must be reck-
oned with before the Democrats take
single step in any direction
Even in Nebraska. which Bryan is
supposed to dominate politically. the
liveliest kind of n party fight is in
progress. Bryan has insisted that a
special session of the legislature be
called and that an initiative and ref
erendum act be passed
Governor Shellenberger has just
announced that he'll be dingbusted II
he calls a special session for any such

\ WORTHY CHARITY.

Abou Ben Adhem desired to have
his name appear in the big book as
one who loved his fellow man. with
the result that when the record was
exhibited by the recording angel
Abou's name led all the rest.
The spirit OF good old Abou animat-
ed the salt Lake Elks when they con-
ceived the idea OF entertaining the
orphans Of the city and giving the
motherless and fatherless little ones
the time OF their lives
In the rough and tumble fight for
fame and fortune. or IL maybe a
struggle for a bare living. as Is more
often the case. II often happens that
the deserving poor are overlooked and
little rays Of Joy that might be in
jected into their lives neglected.
The salt Lake EllSs have remem-
bered and out OF the abundance Of
their stores and the fulness Of their
hearts they have provided a feast for
the orphans. followed by automobile
rides, trips on the scenic railway,
shoot the chutes and other forms OF
amusement dear to the childish heart.
II IS purple day for the Elks. It is
also a day that viii never fade from
the memories OF the children who
have been compelled 10 begin life I'M
der the most adverse circumstances.

TIE MORAL WAVE.

The New York World quotes Ma

stopping OF the Jeffries-Johns fight
in California and the clamping on Of

ROBBED THE POOR.


A job lot of seventy-one small
dealers we're convicted Of cheating
their customers by the use OF short
weights in New York the other day.
Being small dealers they were
swatted good and plenty by the judge
In the matter of fines. But let Us
be charitable. Perhaps the court
would have given richer malefactors
a heavier dose.
Anyhow the small dealers are not
entitled to sympathy. They were
mostly east side merchants who
cheated the people least able 70 bear
IL. II jail sentences had been i'm
posed in addition to the fines the
punishment would have better fitted
the crime.
In these days Of high prices poor
people cannot afford to pay the
sums demanded and be cheated in the
weights at the same time. Even
those who are wen off in this worlds
goods have decided objections 70 be-
ing robbed I'm this manner.
We were all taught early in life
that sixteen ounces make a pound.
The school books contain the same
thing at the present time. There
hasn't been any revised edition Of the
weights and measures tables. but II
sometimes happens that the merchant
forgets them and the customer is
short-weighted.

swTTzERs KNOW BETTER.

The Swiss republic is one OF the
most stable nations on the face Of the
globe and the majority Of the people
very level-headed when Innovations
are proposed. Recently a petition
was presented 70 the house OF rep
resentatives for an amendment to
the constitution.
It was proposed to replace the
present system OF electing members
to the house by the proportional sys-
TEN. each canton and half canton to
represent a district. The petition was
rejected for these reasons:
"AT systems Of proportional repre-
sentation have proved deficient, arti-
fetal. and defective: the freedom Of
the elector is lost thereby. for his
vote. II It is to be Of value. must be
cast for the entire list Of one pOliti-
cal party. otherwise his party Is
weakened: the proportional systems
are more or less complicated, and not
clear TO the masses; the present sys-
tenn secures a majority as the neces-
sary basis for parliamentary and ex-
ecutive action. without excluding rep
resentatives Of the minority parties.
which have always been represented
in the Nationalrath. etc 1t is ex-
pected that the amendment viii be
placed before the people during the
current year"
It is not thought that the oregon
primary system or any other Of the
proposed laws looking to the same
end could be worked off on the
Swiss.

CONSERVATION.

A sane and sensible view OF the
land withdrawal bill and the prob
lem OF conservation is to be found
In the New York Globe. Generally
speaking. eastern people who consid-
er the matter at all believe lands I'M
der ali the classifications as well as
power sites should be Withdrawn
and held for future generations,
leased by the general government or
else hedged about by congressional
enactments so as to place them out
of reach.
The land withdrawal bill merely
iegalizes action already taken under
the Roosevelt administration. about
which there has been considerable
doubt. and enables President Taft to
take similar action in case he sees
tit and an apparent necessity arises.
Much OF the land withdrawn under
the direction Of Garfield and PinchOt
has been restored by Secretary Bal
linger under the direction OF the
President. investigation having prov
essary. for the purposes alleged.
The view Of the New York paper
concerning conservation follows:
But though the new bill will place
conservation on a surer legal
basis, a does not solve the prob
lem that Is 50 much discussed
Confessedly the bill is an ad in
term one-merely a temporary
stop-Eap. After the lands are
withdrawn they are not TO re-
main indefinitely unused
The needs Of an increasing popula-
ton grow too rapidly TO permit
this. The coal and the minerals,
the forests and the water pow
ers must be put 10 use. It's not
conservation that is the real
problem. but distribution-sound
and wise distributiOn-and as TO
this nothing has been done and
little practically suggested.
Il Is not enough 20 pursue a mega
tive policy. There must be also
an affirmative one. or quickly
there viii arise force OF public
opinion strong enough TO brush
aside the negation now author
lied Conservation Is well, but
not II Il implies non-use-a
ruiser-likc slowing away OF nat
ural resources whose develop
ment will contribute TO human
happiness.
That sounds sensible. The western
country. IN which these lands are To-
Gated. Is intensely interested in their
development. Withdrawal for an in
definite period without any apparent
cause would work great hardship
and is not on the program Of the
present administration.
There have been many important
matters before Congress during the
year Mr.. Taft has been in office and
the time has been entirely too limited
to work out the problem Of conserva-
ton. II will be worked out in due
course OF time.

EIGHTH SHOULD HAVE 1T.

There IS good reason TO believe
that the bill to retire Associate Justice
Moody viii find favor in Congress
and be passed. chiefly owing to the
fact that il is desired to have a full
bench as soon as possible.
In case the retirement takes place
In the next few days a successor to
Justice Moody will be appointed be-
fore Congress adjourns in order that
confirmation by the Senate may be
obtained. Where the lightning will
strike is a question.
In addition to Justice Moody the
United States Supreme court consists
Of Chief Justice Fuller Of Illinois and
Justice Harlan Of Kentucky: White

As TO room INSPECTOR SMITH.

As TO FOOD INSPECTOR SMITH.
Mondays neutrality-suspicious. gave
a synopsis Of an address made on
sunday. by Deputy state Food In
spector Heber c. Smith. before the
parents class Of the Eighteenth
ward Sunday school in this city.
The broad statement IS made that
there IS not single Utah packing
company which Is manufacturing to-
mato catsup that is ut for human
fconsum.,, n"
The statement r. utterly and mex
cusably untrue as applied to the
product OF Utah canning factories
last year; as also are other compsn-
ion statements made by Deputy IN
spector Smith. Possibly the latter
may excuse himself in similar man
ner to the man who said he had
never kissed his wife before they
were married. and when the lady
voiced a protest. said, You were not
my wife. dear. until we were mar
ried." The inspector may say that as
the tomato canneries have not started
for this year. none OF them are max
Ing catsup that f. either lit or unfit
for human consumption But his at
tack on the canning industry remains
just the same.
This particular inspector seems to
be not only above all the lines Of Of
fetal perspicuity in his Sunday
school addresses but also above the
courts OF the land. In this regard ne
