ITS SHAMEFUL SLANDER.

1t is astonishing that the Smoot pa.
per has the hardihood to keep on with
It's vicious and altogether inoxcusablc
and shameless slander of this com.
munity, and especially of the admins
tratlon and affairs of this city, Yes
terday, for instance, it said cditorially
that ''TheTe is not city ordinance
nor State law that is not broken with
impunity in Salt Lake every day
That is an absolute statement of al
legged fact; but it is in truth a pre-
posterous, shameful falsehood Accord.
ing TO that statement we have in Salt
Lake City every day n case Of mur.
der, case of mayhem, n case Of rape,
a case of embezzlement. and so on
through the list. Everyone knows that
there is no such state of affairs, and
everyone knows that such statement
is an absolute, unqualified slander,
perpetrated with malicious intent and
without the least regard to fact 1t is
stated not for any iustifiable purpose,
but merely through political malice and
dlsreputable mania for mischief The
election campaign is coming on, and
the Smoot paper apparently wishes to
lay foundation for its campaign ac
tivities. But Judging from the foupda
tion that 1T is undertaking to lay for
those activities, it will conduct that
campaign on lines Of falsehood and de.
ccit unparalleled even from that nois-
some source,
The idea of newspaper published in
Salt Lake alleging any such malicious
wholesale falsehoods as quoted from the
Smoot organ, is something so repre-,
hensible that we are at a loss to ac-
count for the depravity which actuates
that publication, unless it is its soured
disposition and malice cropping out
through the chagrin Of disappointed
and hopes. It's decreasing
business, shrinking circulation. and the
growing lack Of public confidence in
1T, appear to have made that concern
absolutely crazy. But still, calamitics
of that sort are inevitable when there
is continuous invitation for them. |
In fact, frenzied solicitation for lack
of public favor such as that organ has |
been strenuously presenting in its re-
cent iSsups

WHAT is LEFT TO REsPECT7

We see that Ex. President Roosevelt
in his speech at Omaha on Friday even,
ing uttered the sentiment that "every
corruption in our business or political
life and every deed of violence by Il
mob is n blow at the democracy; it Is
n blow at government. -
Now that is a sentiment that is abso.
one might well be pardoned for express.
ing some surprise TO hear it uttered by
Mr.. Roosevelt, The people are accus-
toned to blistcring criticisms from him
of everything that exists in our form
of government. He considers executives
even attacked the good faith Of the
Supremc Court of the United States.
He has heretofore attacked the courts
all along the line But usually (and
property a man who attacks all forms
of government is called an anarchist,
much of the anarchistic idea running
through all Mr.. Roosevelt's speeches,
especially those he delivers in criticism
of existing political conditions through.
out the country.
But if we are TO denounce everything
that there is, if we do not withhold our
iconoclastic hands oven from the Su
preme Court of the United States, what
have we left to reverence and respect!
Why should mob hesitate to form and
carry ont its wi1I7 What check ls there
upon it that should make a good pa
triot pause? Ii there is no soundness
in our political life, if our executives
are vile, our legislatures venal, If our
judiciary is not only evil but subject to
attack from high places and most ex
allied stands, what shall restrict the
mob?
Is il not in fact an encouragement 10
mob rule. to violence, and to dissolu.
tion of civic organization, TO have a
man roaring through the country, de.
everything that there is, spar
ing nothing, and proclaiming all things
TO be vicious, bad and in need of his
hand! Surely there ought to
be something left for us to look up to
with veneration, but according to Mr.,
Roosevelt there is nothing. Why, then,
should he denounce the mob? Should |
he not, on the contrary, encourage it, |

SHOOTS oBsEoUIoUsNEss

For months past it has been a matter
Of common notice that Apostle Senator
Reed Smoot has acted as timc-serv-
ing flunkey to such men as Aldrich
whose activities in favor of the inter
ests have left such pernicious effects
upon the country. That has been the
Smoot course from the beginning The
situation reminds us of what the Spo.
kane Spolsesman-R Review said of him at
the time he was kindergarten member
of the Senate. and which was this:
Ono OF his (Smoot's) favortc tricks is
to take a position just two or three seats
In 'front.' of any member who is delivering
an address. He watches the speaker
eyes him up and down. fawns on him,
and ends by applause that Is even humlli-
ating 10 the man who has delivered the
address.
The Smoot obsequiousness has been
Illuminating to Utah; the dignity of
tho State has by him been prostrated
to desire to gain personal favor. In
all the legislation in which he is said
TO have been an active participant he
has been as fortune hunting Garnet
knight, kissing tho garment hens of
the supposedly great TO gain a look OF
contemptuous notice. He has cringed
to money and got down on his marrow
bones to political power. And after all
of 1T he is not respected by those whom
he has so subsequently waited upon.
For the political power of Joseph i.
Smith. the man who sent him to the
Senate. the bosses entertain political
fear; but for Smoot they hold the de.
r'slve eye, except as through the apos-
tie the president Of the church may be

train. This pressure was responded to,
so that we have now full train serv-
ice on that new line.
The improvements of the Oregon
Short Line system in Idaho have been
marked, and the projected Improvements
| for next year are on an even more
extensive basis.
The high line track of the Salt Lake
Route down the Meadow Valley Wash
is being put in with such energy as TO
insure safety and guard fully against
any risk Of washout, no matter how
much rain there may be.
The crops of the State havo turned
out exceedingly well. The grain yield
has been even more abundant than was
expected The farmers are getting good
prices for their products, and tho live
stock men for their meat The wool
men have mostly sold their wool, and
though prices were depressed by the
manufacturers combine, the returns
have been fair though in many cases
somewhat disappointing The general
result will be to distribute large
amounts Of money throughout the State,
and put the farmers in better financial
condition than ever before
Throughout the country there is
manifest disposition to slow up, this
being gagged by the decrease in bank
clearances, especially in New York,
where that decrease as compared with
the corresponding weeks of 1909 has
been marked for some. time past in the
bank schedules.
Good reports come TO the jobbing CEN
ters from Western cities, and there is a
fair movement of staples to the Missis-
slppi Valley region in response to the
grain and cotton shipments. The move
ment of grain is said TO be unexam
pied at this season Of the year.
quiet conservativeness prevails in
most departments of trade and industry,
and the general confidence of extended
activity in fall trade is everywhere
prevalent. Already, marked improve
ments in coal and steel and in the dc.
mand for pig iron are noted features
by the commercial agencies.
A striking event of the week was the
advance in August cotton TO twenty
cents. the highest price in many years.
Still, crop advices put the cotton condi-
ton on a better ratio than it was last
year, with larger acreage.
Railroad earnings in three weeks of
August showed a gross increase of 6.1
per cent, as compared with last year
The prevalent tone throughout the
stock market, and in general activities
everywhere, was that speculation must
be kept down. and business held to eau.
hous. conservative lines. On the whole,

money for all legitimate purposes.

The most encouraging development of
the week in mining circles has been
the number of mining companies com
ipleting financial arrangements to resume
operations, prominent among the num-
Der being the Yosemite Mines Company
OF Bingham, at one time producer of
rich lead ores. but now with copper
resources IN shape for extraction at
depth, and the King William COMPANY
of TintIc. The several mining deals
being heard of involving either a
change of ownership or the raising of
funds for development, would Indicate
an easing up in the tight financial sit
uation.
Eastern stock markets have been gov
eFned by Western conditions for some
tlme past, but especially during the
week Just closed. The tour of Ex.
President Roosevelt has been watched
closely by market authorities. and Wall
Street evidently was anxious to dis
courage what little public participation
there was in the markets by seeming
TO fear the effects of the Western
speech making journey.
Uniformly good reports are received
IN regard TO the copper situation. The
programme of copper curtailment is be.
ing adhered to faithfully in the Mich
l9an, Montana. and Utah camps, and
the exports of the metal will show n
good increase during August over july
NO large sales of copper have been re.
ported for over two weeks, but the de-
mand is steady, and not of a nature to
give undue emphasis to the price. Lake
copper is held firmly at 13 cents. and
eiectrolytic has not exceeded 12A cents
per pound on the present upward move
ment A renewed demand for spelter
is reported, and stocks are said TO he
well distributed. with no troublesome
surplus on hand This is expected Mt
least to maintain steady spelter Quota
tions, with possibility of an advance
in price.
Mine conditions throughout the State
are highly satisfactory, but the unfa.

of Utah are making an excellent show,
