DECRYING ADVANCEMENT.

1t does not afford much encourage
ment for a manufacturing enterprise to
be located in this city when a public
newspaper, the official organ of the
party in power, comes out in = ieerinp.
disparaGing article. throwing cold wa.
ter on the enterprise and eDdeavoring
to minimize its Importance and urge
the uncertainty of its being located
here
just such disparagemsnt is expressed
in the Smoot paper with respect TO the
oflcIal announcement that the Griffin
Wheel Works is about to establish the
most important Of its series of plants
IN North Salt Lake. The coming of
that great enterprise to this city is
welcomed by every alert, wide awake
friend Of Salt Lake Secretary Caine
Of the Commercial Club is iubilant
over the news of its coming. and puts
full faith and credit in the announce
ment. He gives excellent reasons, also,
why the company should locate its big.
gcst plant here: and he also INDUCES
in just congratulatiop to the city upon
having it fixed at this point Others,
too, arc jubilant over the official au-
nouncement Of the establishment Of this
plant here
IL is beyond comprehension that the
Smoot paper should indulge in such vi
cious disparagement Of the idea. But.
then, the Smoot paper never was much
of friend of Salt Lake, nor did it ever
take kindly to anything that would
help the city. unless it could see some
political advantage in it for itself and
its masters. the Federal bunch.

THE LIQUOR SKELETON.

The supposed Cor proposed, as the
case may be) liquor legislation for TINS
State in the present Legislature, Is SAID
to be now in skeleton form, and
rrisly skeleton ii is. The proposition
appears TO be to have the legislation
built up on the Republican platform.
But that platform is now construed III
several different ways, and the rural
districts, which that platform did not
apparently accord any voice IN the
matter whether they should allow the
selling of liquor or not, are now COM
ing forward with the demand that they
shall have the same privilege or option
with regard to this matter that the
cities are 10 have. Obviously, they are
correct in this, their right ls equal. But,
on the other hand, if this right is grant
ed, then nothing remains TO leglslate
upon, unless it be the mere matter of
pro forma elections on the liquor ques
ton. For, under the decision of our
Supreme Court, every community, rural
or other, has the right, through It's
proper representatives, 10 grant license
10 sell liquor, or to refuse such license,
at discretion This being the case. the
machinery supposed to be founded on
the Republican platform, and proposed
for enactment into law, would be use
less in the main, For 1t is well known
that the rural communities throughout
The State with practical unanimity
would declare against issuing Of licenses
TO sell liquor Accordingly, their town
trustees. county commissioners, or city
councils, as the case may be in the
smaller cities, would naturally and in
evitably respond TO the popular demand
in their locality, and this without any
official direction by the people such as
an election on the subject would pro
vide, Indeed. in a good many of the
localities these officers in whom the IL
censing power is con6ded are elected
expressly on the issue of license or no
license; and this avoids the expense
and trouble of an election held specif-
cally to direct as to prohibition or not.
The more the matter is looked into,
and the more the rural communities are
heard from, the sounder is found to be
the opinion expressed at the first in
these columns, that absolutely nothing
is to be gained by tampering with the
liquor question at this session of the
Legislature.
