RAIN rs GOOD NEWS.

1t is most welcome news that copious
rains are abating the fires in north
western Montana and in the panhandle
Of Idaho. The efforts Of men arc prac-
tically futile in fighting forest fire,
but copious and continued rains are al.
ways effective.
The loss OF life from these fires must
be very great Probably the full ex
tent of this loss will never be known.
We surely hope and trust that the csti-
mate Of thousands mentioned in some
Of the dispatches may be gross exag-
gerations; but there seems no room
to doubt that the loss of life is heavy
and very grievous.
Nothing, however, can exaggerate the
devastation caused by forest fire.
Blackness and ruin cover its track.
There is nothing but the most doleful
outlook within the blackened region
anywhere in the track OF the forest
FIRE. Such fires have been noted at
long intervals in the history of this
country. Some thirty years ago there
was in northern Wisconsin sweep of
forest fires that approached somewhat
to the tremendous fires that are now
reported on the northern border, but
the area covered by those Wisconsin
fires was comparatively small. Still,
men and women and children by the
hundreds were roasted alive, and the
region was made desolate.
1t must be a doleful scene up in the
Idaho panhandle and northwestern
Montana today The country is COW
cred with a pail Of black smoke and
the smoldering fires prevent all ap-
proach either for relief or recovery.
1t is a terrible thing altogether, and the
hope of humanity must be for a suf
fciency Of storms TO absolutely quench
the fires.

MIR HALL OF SPRINGVILLE.

With an enclosed clipping from an
editorial article which appeared IN our
issue OF August 10Th, we have received
a communication from Mr.. James L.
Hall of Springville, Utah. Mr.. Hall
requests publication thereof as mat
ter of Justice to himself, and The Trib-
une gladly hastens to do so In order
to clear good citizen of an i'll repute
that might otherwise be wrongfully at
tached to his name. Mr.. HALLS letter
is as follows:
My name is James E. Hall. have re-
sided In Springville for 50 years. There
IS not now nor never has been any other
family Of Hall living in sprlngville, hence

for as / understand II my church would
not sanction the act. II is also against
the law of our State. which ! hold TO be
supreme, hence l am pleased TO uphoid
and obey the same
The Tribune is not only glad TO do
this act OF justice toward Mr.. Hall,
but il desires to thank him for his
splendid expressions OF fealty to the
law and loyalty to his country. If all
the members of his church entertained
the same sentiments, Utah would not
be afflicted with her present greatest
trouble. We hope that his teaching IN
this respect viii be needed by all 70
whom il may come. and il is bound TO
have a great effect for good.
James F.. Hall of Springville is not
the "Jim Hall'' named by The Trib-
une as new polygamist and as resi-
dent of Mexico. Evidently our in.
formant was mistaken in saying that
the Mexican Jim Hall was once resi-
dent of Springville; but otherwise he
was undoubtedly correct. We publish
these facts in justice to James z. Hall,
an honorable citizen.
This is one case in which denial
of new polygamy has been made that

PRESIDENT TAFT ON THE TARIFF

The "kevnote" letter written by
Mr. Taft ho serve for the strenuous note
of the political campaign. appears to be
complete giveaway of the :Fstand-
pat' position. 1t is also a pretty bad
eive,away of himself He says that the
PAYNE Aldrich tariff law is the best
tariff law ever enacted. but that we
must lose no time in revising it. This
is most extraordinary position.
The test OF the fitness and value of
a tariff law is the satisfaction of the
people with it and its working capabili-
ties. Also, the length of time which il
Is able to serve the interests and de-
mands of the public. For il is mani
fest that if tariff bill does not answer
signed, and if it has not the qualities
that enable it to endure for a fair
length of time. if in the test of useful
ness it is found so defective as to need
immediate repairs, then surely it can
hardly be called either serviceable or
good.
Applying these tests to the present
law, ii is found 70 be so radically defec-
tive that 1T is neither Immediately serv-
iceable. nor does it present any enduring
quality. The people of the country re-
iect it out of hand as fraud and
pretense, not meeting even the demand
OF Its own party. Wherever the test
of popular judgment has been applied
to 1T, it has been rejected. Even within
the ranks Of the Republican party
which has to stand for It's enactment
1t is condemned When we consider
that the Democratic party is absolutely
and unanimously opposed to it also, it
is plain that only minority faction
in the Republican party stand as ap-
proving this new tariff law, a minority
so small as 10 be negligible. 1t there
fore absolutely fails on the first test,
that is OF use and serviceableness. The
people will have none of IL. They re-
iect it out of hand.
The second test is the quality of en-
durance. This new tariff law fails alb
even President Taft, who approved it.,
declares now that it must Immediately
be amended. He is In favor OF taking
the tariff schedules up one by one and
thoroughly revising them, Whether
this IS a good way to do tariff work
or not NAV be open TO question. In
fact. it is very seriously questioned; !;
but the point is that President Taft
saws that this law cannot stand as IL is,
and must be changed as soon as Con-
gress can get to work on il. So that,
in the quality of endurance, this tariff
also fails
II is impossible TO see, therefore. on
what basis President Taft approves it
as the best tariff law ever enacted, or
IN fact as beneficial law In any re-
spect. And his course with respect to
it has been absolutely imbecile.

COL. ROOSEVELT, NsURGENT.

President Roosevelt gives a signif.
cant Indication of his joining IN with
the insurgent side in the Republican
party in his commendation and endorse
ment OF State Senator Davenport in
New York. At Utica Mr.. Davenport
was on the same platform with Colonel
Roosevelt, and Roosevelt took occasion
to show him his utmost favor and
friendliness. He holds that Senator
Davenport. in standing for insurgency,
stands for decency combined with eff
fciency. He holds that the ''only way
in which a politician can really serve
his party is by helping that party eff
hciently to serve the people, and,
further commencing Senator Davenport,
Colonel Roosevelt added: because
the Senator and the men who are
elected with him stand for this prin-
ciple / am glad TO be on the platform
with him. Surely nothing sauarer or
more Absolutely committal could be
imagined than that.
The signs multiply that Ex-President
Roosevelt is firmly allied with the In.
surgent or progressive element IN the
Republican party. President Taft takes
his stand with Colonel Roosevelt, and
so the progressives have the two chief
figures in the party to support them.
1t is an absolutely certain PROPOSE
ton, however, that if it had not been
for Roosevelt. President Taft would
have remained with the stand patters
when they captured him, 1t was a sur
reptitious, piratical capture, however,
and President Taft ought to have rec
ognized the nature of it; but he did
not He is, since coming under the
Roosevelt influence. getting around to
the same position that he occupied in
his campaign speeches two years ago.
All of which reminds the public most
pertinently of the Judgment pronounced
upon Colonel Roosevelt by President
Cleveland He said that Roosevelt was
the most consummate politician that
this country has yet produced. And it
is clearer and clearer every day that
he is. There is none to match him
He stood aloof long enough TO make all
of the bosses, including the President
