THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE MONDAY MORNING MARCH 90 1911

Grated since, special and enormously
padded rates on the cotton goods that
were specially produced by the mills
Of Rhode Island, this under tho di-
rection Of Senator Aldrich, who used
his position rs head Of the Senate
Finance Committee to give these spe-
cia1 favors to the cotton manufacturers
of his own State, to the disadvantage
of the public and against the protest
Of the general trade in cotton goods.
The incident not only displays the
vicious methods by which the tariff
schedule was made up, but shows con-
clusively the practicability, and in fact
tho necessity, Of revising the tariff
schedule by schedule as President Taft
urges; and tho probability is that the
new Congress, which is to meet on the
fourth Of the coming month, Will take
up some Of these schedules and revise
them in the direction Of popular re-
lief. If the new Congress does this
and pursues the work in the proper
economic spirit, it will largely enhance
the probabilities Of n Democratic VIC

The blockade OF The Mexican border
by United Statcs troops may have a de-
Cided effect upon one form OF enterprise
that has been draining steady stream
OF gold out Of this country. Across the
Rio Grande from FL Paso. Tex. Is the
Mexican city OF Juarcz little heard OF in
the North until the activities OF the in
surrectos got It's name into the press dis
patches. Throughout Texas and the
Southwest. however. JuarcZ has long
been famous as wide omen gambling
city, easy Of access from El Paso and
largely frepuentcd by Americans. An I2l
Paso newspaper estimates that not less
than half million American gold goes
across The river every four months. and
very little OF it, comes back. 1t is the
nearest approach To Monte Carlo that
can ne found on this side 0f tho Atlantic.
With Emitted States troops policing the
boundary line the narade OF gamblers
probably will be seriously interfered with
and some at least Of this money kept on

And now we can appreciate better
than ever why the insurgents were so
anxious to capture that place. They
wanted to bust the bank.

MUST BE KEPT DISTINCT.

Those who think it Is joke 10 OPP
pose the mingling Of the different and
well-defined powers Of the separate de-
partments of civil government, may be
enlightened by reference to Article v.
of our State Constitution, which reads
as follows:
The powers of the government of the
State of Utah shall be divided into three
distinct departments the Legislative, the
Executive. and the Judicial; and no per-
son charged with the exercise of powers
properly belonging TO one OF these de-
partments, shall exercise any functions
appertainng To either of the others. ex-

1t is manifest that the new liquor
law, which undertakes to vest in the
courts Of this State, the administration
of the saloon business, is in direct con
hict with this article, which is the
plainly stated separation of the diff
ferent departments of the State gov
ernment. 1t will be idle TO undertake
to argue away the force Of that sec
tion Of the Constitution, as applied to
this iust-enactcd liquor legislation. and
any search for cases Of exception as
applied to this case will be absolutely
vain

COTTON GOODS MEN PROTEST.

II has been known all along that
the bunko tariff law passed at the
special session of Congress in 1909 car
ried numerous jokers, whereby the peo-
pie were defrauded, and special inter
ests more than munGcently rewarded,
Certain qualities Of cotton and GER
tain threads that go into and deter
mine the rating of certain other man
ufactures of cotton were specially fa
vored by undue rates that amounted to
from 100 to 175 per cent increase over
the Dingley tariff rates. No denial
has ever been made of these favored
provisions III the tariff law, and none
can be made.
We are reminded OF these facts by
a report of the meeting recently held
by the cotton goods trade in New
York At this meeting substantial
reduction of the duties on cotton goods
was asked by resolutions, which were
unanimously passed. The preamble to
these resolutions set forth that whereas
the duties were needlessly high before
the present tariff was enacted, that
this new law greatly increased those
already excessive duties. and that as
Ethese high rates were not desired by
either the wholesale or retail distribu-
tors, the garment manufacturers, or
even by the majority of the American
cloth manufacturers, but were secured
by questionable methods by few spc
ciallyfavored interests there should
be recast Of those schedules.
Doubtless these cotton goods trades
men knew precisely what they were
talking about, Just as the carded wool
manufacturers knew what they were
talking about as when they were told
by Smoot, who, in response TO their
statement that the tariff law would
cause the country to 90 Democratic
said, tWhat the hell do | care7' In
this case the carded wool manufacture
ers were absolutely denied protection,
and this by a Congress that prided itself
on maintaining the protective policy.

terms so far as protection to that
industry was concerned, and square
going back on the protective principle.

DEAN WORCESTER REPLIES.

Mr.. Dean c. Worcester is ont in a
pamphlet, which he styles "An open
letter TO the officers and members of
the Anti Imperialistic League Of the
United States. The letter is at once
defense Of himself from charges
made by Mr.. Erving Winslow, Secre
tary of the Anti-Imperialistic League,
and Mr.. Jackson Ralston, attorney for
that league. These anti-imperialists
had charged Mr.. Worcester with cor
ruption and wrong. doing in the land
sales at Bagulo, with the sale of the
San Jose estate, with public land
leases, and in other matters in the
Philippines.
Mr. Worcester not only puts in an
entirely satisfactory defense. but he
turns upon his accusers and charges
them with Justification and slander. He
charges Mr. Erving Winslow specifically
with the offense of making. through
the medium of the public press, "will-
fully false statements relating to the
conduct of officials of the Philippine
Government and he charges Mr.. Raj
ston, attorney for the AntiJmperialistic
League, with violating the ethics of
his profession, by endcavorlng. under
the guise of submitting brief, to
smuggIe into the evidence TO be con
sidered by the committee on insular
affairs, false testimony Of his own; and
this after the evidence had been closed,
so that the persons thus unJustly at
tackled might be Judged without any
opportunity to be heard in their own
defense And he charges them further
with making, both in this so-callcd
brief and in the public press, dehber.
atcly false statements as to what the
testimony taken actually shows.
Mr. Worcester makes a thorough
ing every accusation made against him.

mony in his own defense. meeting ev

falsely nccused him. II seems to us
that he does his work most effectually;

fortunately sometimes necessary TO

to be no polite way of doing this eff
fectively. but needless personal insult

full in the serious discussion of i'm
portant matters, - In the latter clause
of this quotation Mr. Worcester states
an obvious truth. At the same time,
it is quite true that the anti-imperial-
lists appear never to have bothered
themselves very much about the cour-
tesy or the proprieties of the reckless
assaults that they have made upon the
government and upon government Of
ficials, in connection with what they
call imperialism in the Philippine Isl
ands 1t is good to see that gentry
brought to book occasionally in its dis.
gusting and reckless methods; and we
congratulate Mr. Worcester most sin
cercly upon the triumphant refutation
that he has made of the partisan and
scandalous charges made against him.
