soCIALIsTs HAvE RIGHTs.

Chief Of Police 5. NJ. Barlow. has
made another one Of those mistakes
which have made him notorious if
not famous. For some reason, the ma
ture of which is not clearly under
stood. the chief concluded 10 clamp
the lid on the salt Lake Socialists and
prevent their meetings in the streets
of the city.
The park commissioners followed
the lead OF the chief and attempted
10 deprive the. Socialists Of their usual
Sunday meeting in Liberty park.
Now the Socialists have as much
right in Liberty park as any other
class Of citizens and, being an intense
ly earnest body Of men of more than
ordinary intelligence. they naturally
resented the attempted infringement
on their rights. They not only held
their meeting but roasted the chief of
police, the park commissioners and all
others who had part or lot in the ef-
fort TO curtail the privileges TO which
all American citizens are entitled.
The most despieable part of the
program Of the American" party of
ficials was the permit given Rev.
Chase. a 'Josephite' preacher. to oc-
cupy the stand usually occupied by the
Socialists. the purpose being to in
volve the Mormon church in the
trouble by hook or by crook.
rights. refused 10 give way and Rev.
Chase received scant consideration.
which outcome was probably intended
by those VIII planned the whole al
fair. The park commissioners viii
not receive any great amount Of credit
Tor their part in the performance.
As 10 the right Of the Socialists TO
hold meetings for the purpose of
making converts there is no possible
doubt. So long as they observe the
law. and they always have observed
it in salt Lake, the chief Of police does
not possess the legal authority to stop
their meetings.
The right Of free speech and a free
press is guaranteed by the constitu-
ton of the United States. The Social
lists and the so-called labor agitatOrs"
cannot be despoiled Of their share of
the benefit conferred by American
citizenship by Chief Barlow, the park
commissioners or any other official Of
the American" party.
Let us have no more Of these at
tempts to intimidate peaceable and
law-abiding citizens.

HAPPY PORTO RICO.

Porto Ricans have more money at
present than they know what to do
with. The crops Of sugar. tobacco,
coffee. fruits and other products of
the soil are bringing in a golden
stream as the exports are turned into
cash.
The insular government has four
or five million dollars deposited in
New York on which interest is being
paid and other large sums are on de-
posit in the banks Of San Juan.
1t was a fortunate day for Porto
Rico when the United States released
her from the bondage of Spain and
allowed the inhabitants TO reap the
reward Of their toll for the first
time in the four hundred years that
have elapsed since it was discovered.
Cuba would be much better off if
its affairs were managed with the
same wisdom as that exercised on be-
half of the Porto Ricans.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.

The nineteenth century produced
many women whose names will live in
history. but none Of greater worth
than Florence Nightingale, who has
just died in London. The first wom-
an who ever followed a modern army
into the field. she devoted her life
after the Crimean war to improving
the conditions surrounding sick and
wounded soldiers.
Many OF the reforms in camp and
field were due 10 her untiring efforts.
Besides possessing the love and affec-
tion Of the soldiers, kings delighted
10 do her honor and she held first
place in the esteem OF the British
people. leaving royalty out Of consid-

Florence Nightingale lived long and
devoted her life to the service of
Others. Tributes TO her memory viii

for she did not live in vain.

SPAIN A GOOD CUSTOMER.

The Spanish people are not nursing
any grievance against the United
States on account of the war over
Cuba and the loss of Porto Rico and
the Philippine islands. American
goods are eagerly purchased by the
Spaniards and it is said that prac-
tically all of the shoes sold in the
Madrid district are of American man
ufacture.
Owing to the prevailing high prices
Spain is unable to indulge in any con-
siderable amount Of American food
stuffs. but machinery of all kinds is
being imported and American goods
are being exhibited for sale In nearly
all the stores and shops of Madrid.
The s2O,OoO,OOO presented TO Spain
on account Of the loss Of the Philip
pines may prove an exceedingly good
investment in more ways than origin
ally intended

TIME FOR COMPROMISES.

The United Mine Workers are again
in session at Indianapolis. seeking a
way out of the difficulties in which
they find themselves involved. In
some of the bituminous districts the
men have been out Of work between
four and five months and the situa-
ton in some of the mining towns is
desperate.
At CenTalia, Illinois, business may
be said TO be completely paralyzed.
Stores have been compelled to close
and the town has hundreds Of empty
houses and vacant rooms. Other
mining towns have suffered the same
bitter experience.
While President Lewis of the par
ent organization and President Walk
er of the Illinois branch of the United
Mine Workers are quarreling over the
question OF arranging a compromise
the miners who have been out of
work since last spring have been re-
duced to the point of starvation.
A few weeks more and winter will
be upon these unfortunate men,
women and children. The delegates
To the Indianapolis convention should
bring this state of things to an end
as speedily as possible. Endurance
tests may be all right when there is a
prize at stake. In the case of the coal
miners it has brought them to ruin.
The unequal contest should not be al
lowed TO continue any longer.

NEBRASKA PRIMARIES.

Just how much of a hold w. j.
Bryan has upon the Democrats of
Nebraska win be demonstrated at the
statewide primaries today. 1t will
also be possible when the smoke Of
battle has cleared away to measure
the strength of the insurgents.
Since its admission into the Union
as a state a little over forty years
ago Nebraska has been consistently
Republican most of the time. It's ex-
perience has not been happy the few
times it stepped aside from the
straight and narrow path.
When the "anti-monopolists" were
rampant a generation or so ago
Charles H. Van Wyck. who had been
a representative in Congress from
New York, was sent TO the United
States Senate. That mistake was rec
titled six years later. The only other
instance of Nebraska choosing an off
color United States senator was when
Windy Y. Allen was elected by
coalition of Democrats and Populists.
Allen served eight years all told. He
is still in the flesh but too dead po-
litieally 10 figure in the present con-
test.
The term of Elmer j. Burkett eX-
pires on the fourth of next March.
There are five Republican and three
Democratic candidates before the vot-
ers at today's primaries. Senator Bur-
kett should win the Republican NOM
ination with ease, his principal oppo-
nent being Judge c. o. Whedon of
Lincoln. that distinguished insurgent
gentleman and scholar who called
President Taft "fathead" in the
course Of a speech last winter.
On the Democratic side Gilbert NJ
Hitchcock and Richard Metcalfe are
the principal candidates. the latter
being editor Of the Commoner and
having the personal support OF Mr..
Bryan. The third candidate, Willis
Reed. win not figure in the totals TO
any considerable extent when the
votes are counted.
Hitchcock should win the primary
contest hands down in spite of the ac-
tivity OF Mr.. Bryan in behalf of Met
calfe. But the choosing of a Demo-
cratic candidate for United States sen
ator is a minor consideration, for the
legislature will undoubtedly be Re
publican no matter how the primaries
result. Two years ago Nebraska elect
ed a straight Democratic legislature
for the first time in its history. That
experiment win last the Nebraskans
for a long time 10 come.
OF the six congressman from Ne
braska three are Republicans and
three Democrats. All of them viii be
renominated unless ali signs fail,
which they sometimes do in dry
weather. The Republicans expect to
hold the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth dis
tricts and regain the First and Third,
no matter how the primaries turn out.
Hitchcock's chances in the Second
district are not any too good. since
that worthy is a candidate for both
the House and the Senate and other
aspirants in his own party are calling
him a hog.
Nebraska will not follow in the
footsteps of Kansas. The full extent
of the insurgent movement will be
shown in the denomination of Norris
and Hinshaw. Straight Republicans
viii be nominated for all the state Of
fees from governor down and the
party viii go into the campaign full
OF confidence. as that means victory
in November.
