THE KENILwoRTH TROUBLES.

The report of State Mining Inspec.
tor j. j.. Petit confirms the understand
ing had from the first with respect to
the origin Of the troubles nj the Kenil-
worth coal mines. The company ap-
pears to have done everything that was
possible to avert any antagonism.
When there was complaint about the
weights, the company offered TO let the
complainers themselves weigh the coal.
Then, when nothing would suit, the
company determined to protect itself
by escorting the trouble makers out of
camp. They returned, with the deter
mInatlon to make trouble, and the
trouble ensued on their initiative. They
began the shooting; they killed Dep
uty Sheriff Jackson, and carried things
with a high hand until the law as
serted its supremacy.
The trouble at that mine appears to
have been the most inexeusable of any
so far reported. And It is 4 satisfac.
tion to find that the reports which The
Tribune had from the first on this mat
ter are borne out by the official re.
port of the investigation made by Mr.
Petit. The mine is in full operation,
and will be absolutely safeguarded un
til all likelihood of trouble has becl
passed

pressing upon the Senators the abso-
lutte necessity Of getting INTO line on
this proposition,
In the meantime, it is encouraging
to sec the dismay with which this
agreement is viewed in some quarters
in Great Britain and by the ultra-con-
scrvatives in Canada. They arc de-
spondontly convinced that the ratifca-
tion of this agreement means the build
ing up in Canada of n sentiment for
union with the United States that can
not be overcome. They look upon the
absorption of Canada by this Nation
as something certain to ensue, by rea"
son of this agreement. So far as we
arc concerned, however, that would
seem to be an additional reason why
every Senator and every Representa-
tive in the Congress OF the United
States ought to vote for ratification; !;
because of all the territorial acquisi-
tlons that the United States has ever
very best of all; and the possibility of
anncxing it ought to be the clinching
word in favor of the agreement for us.

THE HOUSE RATIFICATION.

The anticipations of those who sup.
posed that President Taft would not
be enthusiastically supported in the
House in his Canadian reciprocity
agreement faded into thin air when the
vote was cast. The Democrats sup
ported the reciprocity agreement with
substantial unanimity, l43 Of them vot-
ing for it and only ) against The
Republican members did not stand by
their President in this matter, only rs
of them voting for the agreement,
while 81 voted against it. IT is a curl
Gus circumstance that a Republican
President should be thus deserted by
his party. But as the dispatches say,
the "old guard meaning the stand
patters, who besides opposing the agree
ment, undertook to weight it down witt
obnoxious amendments, were the ones
who controlled and east the opposition
vote. There was success despite this,
however, and when Mr.. Dalzell was so
strikingly defeated in his effort at
amendment, that sort of obstructive tao
tics was discontinued Contrary to some
forecasts, the insurgent Represents
tives, so called, did not unite against
the bill. On the contrary, n ma a.lority
Of them voted for 1T. This is exactly
what one would naturally have expect
ed, for the report that they were oppos-
ing it seemed to put them in such an
illogical attitude, that it was hard to
believe the report of this hostility. Of
course, Representative Howell of Utah,
being a standpatter, was "agin' the
Government, and opposed to the agree
ment.
The agreement now goes to the Sen
ate. where it will unquestionably have
a harder time in getting through. a
number of the insurgent Senators are
said to have declared against the agree.
ment, but it is to be hoped. if so, that
they will reconsider and take the at
titude, which logically belongs to them,
of voting for the measure. But the
President has a far greater leverage on
the Senate than he has on the House
The Senators dearly love the control
VI iuS III s9bdlSS, aHu
President Taft has made it apparent
heretofore that he is quite prepared to
use this leverage to whatever extent
it may be necessary OF available. He
has denied to number of the insur-
gent Senators their right Of the con-
troll Of the patronage in their States,
and has undertaken to beat them by
putting that patronage in other hands.
He has had no marked success in this,
however, because the insurgents knew
that by their very insurgency they
were giving up this patronage. 1t
would be different. however, with the
standpat element, the members of which
have heretofore enjoyed to the fullest
the patronage that traditionally belongs
to them; they are not prepared to face
the ordeal of being denied the control
of that patronage. And we believe
that President Taft fully senses his
advantage in this, and is quite pre-
pared to exercise to the fullest extent
his power Of coercion through this
means. We Judge, therefore, that the

THE CASE OF KERR.

On Tuesday morning The Tribune had
brief editorial referring to the sue.
cessful work of President W. j. Kerr
now Of the Oregon Agricultural College
at Corvallis, but formerly head of the
Utah Agricultural College at Logan. In
that VIC cited the evidence of the con
'fidencc shown in President Kerr through
the vote of S570,000 for the work of
the college under his charge the ensu-
ing two years, and the approval of that
appropriation by the Portland Oregon
ian. At the same time we spoke of
President Kerr being bounded out of
this State by a clique Of polygamists
which was a fact. The Smoot organ
ill-Daturedly rejoins that President Kerr
was removed from the head of the
Utah Agricultural College for the good
Of the school, as he persisted in inject.
ing politics into it until he destroyed
the usefulness Of the institution, and
his own usefulness as an educator in
that position. All of which is abso.
lutely untrue. as also is its inference
that the Oregon Agricultural College
has succeeded Gin spite of W J. Kerr.
IT'S president. Innsmuch as the Ore
gon Agricultural College is in charge
of President Kerr, and as it is a great
success, with the approval of him by
all concerned, the intimation that the
success is in spite of him is at once
lll-natured and wholly groundless And
besides, if the Oregon Agricultural Col
lego can succeed ''in spite of him, -
why couldn t the Utah Agricultural Col
lege do the same?
Referring to the statement that Pres.
ident Kerr was bounded out of the
State by a polygamous clique, the
Smoot paper says that Kerr. was him
self polygamist. This, however, is a
perversion of fact. President Kerr, it
is true, had been polygamist, but
had refused to continue in that rela.
ton, 1t was for that reason that the
polygamists hated him. and formed a
clique powerful enough to drive him
out of his position. They were so de-
termined to uphold the rightfulness of
polygamy and to retain in that lawless
relation every who who had at any time
entered into it, that they made an ex-
ample of President Kerr, hoping to
deter thereby anyone else from aban-
doning polygamist relation already
entered into. This is the fact of the
matter, and everyone who has any
knowledge Of local conditions, knows
that it is true. And the partly false
review of the case in the chief church
organ last night does not change the
matter in the least.

CITY LIGHTING PLANT,

We trust that the Council will give
careful consideration to the resolution
presented by Councilman Mckinney
with respect to a municipal lighting
plant. The resolution provides that
the city engineer shall furnish the Coun-
cll with data concerning the city ia
cilities for putting in such plant,
together with estimates OF its probable
cost It's adoption was unanimously
agreed to, and so the matter is now
In the hands of the city engineer
When the million dollar bond issue Of
January, 1906, was agreed to, there
was distinct promise that there should
be provided for the city water power
plant at the discharge of tho Big Cot
tonwood conduit. which would be avail
able for the generation by the munich
pallty of electricity for power and light
The fall is ample, and The volume Of
water descending is adequate TO the
putting in of a good substantial power
and lighting plant. Unfortunately, for
time the city surrendered its right
to use this facility, at the demand Of
the old street railway company, which
had, also, the electric lighting of the
city. Later on, however, the right of
use by the city was reclaimed and now
there is nothing to interfere with the
putting in Of that plant.
Mr.. Mckinney's resolution contem-
plates, also, the use of City Creek water
for the same purpose, if such use is
found available. Doubtless there is am
pie fall in City Creek and excellent
opportunities there for the putting in
of a power plant, But everything will
have to he provided in City Creek can
yon, whereas, the water discharge,
ample and with height of fall ade
quate, is already provided at the mouth
of the Big Cottonwood conduit.
Undoubtedly the city engineer will
use due diligence in preparing his re-
port under this resolution, and we do
not doubt that when his report is made,
the absolute facility for the provision
contemplated in Councilman McKin-
ney's resolution viii be fully demon.
strated. And when this report is made,
it will be easy for the city officials to
make a computation. and see whether
1T Will pay to put in this municipal
lighting plant or not. Until that re.
port is made, 1T is useless to forecast,
and opinions advanced might mislead.
