AN OUTSIDE EXPLOSION.

The Tribune S dispatch from Ha-
tive to the point that the battleship
"Maine' was destroyed by an external
explosion 1t states that the Golfer
dam about the wreck has been so well
pumped out and the mud cleared away
AS to leave a thorough view Of the
wrcckagc. This view discloses the
double bottom of the ship, with part
of the keel standing in a perpendicular
position some twenty-eight feet higher
than the natural position.
This disclosure confirms the report
Of Ensign Powelson, who based his
conclusions upon the reports of divers
who examined ms well as they could
the wreck soon after the explosion oc-
cured
And thus we get back 10 the conclu.
sion of the court of inquiry which re.
ported upon the explosion us soon as
possible after the occurrence of that
disaster.
This report disposes of two uncer-
tainties heretofore; first, the general
one as to the cause Of the wreck; sec
oud, the special one as to the cause of
the explosion of the magazines in the
ship. This should settle the case on
both points. The magazines exploded
because of the exterior blow DESTROYING
the bottom of the ship, This explana-
tion is thoroughly reasonable, and as
1t is made on an actual examination of
the keel of the ship, it ought TO be con.
elusive and determinate of uncertainty
and discussion.

plains the seemingly opposite point of
view taken by the President in his mes
sage from that which he takes now.
SO FAR from there being contradiction
between the President s declaration in
his message TO Congress and in his de
Tense Of the court now. the two views
are perfectly reconcilable, as stated. n
is true, as the President said, that to
insert tho word reasonable in the
law would impose an irksome and inde-
terminate duty upon the court. II would
he unwise, as the President argued, to
insert that word in the law II might
he good deal more than ,mwise; it
might defeat the very intent and pur-
pose Of the law. But for the court to
use reason in the Interpretation of the
law is quite different matter; in fact.
that is what the court has to do all the
time, and is perfectly right in doing 1t.
The two positions of President Taft do
not in the least conflict, and are both
entirely defcnsiblc.

TOO EASY KNOWLEDGE.

IT Is often surprising 10 those who
have devoted good deal of time
and attention to any subject. and who,
by reason of their situation, are rea.
sOnably conversant with it to find
that occasionally some one will come
IN and assert an absolute personal
knowledge of local conditions that is
entirely different from the known con
ditions, both as understood on the one
side and conceded on the other We
see that sort of thing frequently here
in Utah. and it no longer even sur.

NAMES DECISIVE CHOICE

The prohibition issue in Maine so OBJ
scured the other feature of the election
there that very little mas been heard
about IT. So far as known, and so far
as can be known until thorough check
ing up of the returns which was ordered
by Governor Plaisted has been made
by the clerks Of the election, the
wet majority was 26. This ma iority
was so surprisingly small that the
checking up Of even one poll might
change the result II is said that A
good many OF the returns got mixed
bv the clerks in their reports. some re-
porting the prohibition vote for prohi-
bition. others entaugling that with the
affirmative vote which was 'for chang
ing the constitution, which latter is
against prohibition, SO that the re-
suit on this question will not be abso
lutely known until the full checking up
lis made, and the official State canvass
thereon is completed.
But there was one thing decided at
the Maine election, and decided with
such tremendous majority that there

CAPTURES THE sUNFLowER.

President Taft is assured by the Kan
sans that they are all with him in his
political aspirations for next year.
Whether this is a promise that can bc
made good in the convention which will
select delegates 10 the National Rcpub.
llican Convention or not is matter that
1.-THE future must determine. In the
meantime, the KanSan hospitality as
sures the President of everything, and
all is not only serene. but Joyous, in
the Sunflower State. The President has
Everything his own way, and whether
this is merely of courtesy, or whether
the Kansans mean it, the situation
makes it pleasant for all concerned dur
ing the Presidents s visit, And that is
the main thing for the time; the future
must take care of itself.
The President is naturally receiving
great encouragement in this stumping
tour preparatory 10 next years conven~
ton. whore he will seek the nomination
for President. For effective work,
however. we think that his tour should
have been deferred; next spring would
have been better The enthusiasm which
his presence causes at this time Will
pass away before the time comes for
naming the delegates from Kansas to
the conventions and when that is done,
somo unpleasant surprises are liable to
to be sprung.

A SUDDEN WAR CLOUD.

| The sudden war cloud that has oh.
scured the skies of Italy and Turkey
is great surprise to the world. II
has been known for long time that
there were fruitful possibilities of
trouble between Italy and Turkey
about Tripol; but thero did not seem
to hc any immediate cause for alarm
paid to that possible scat of disturb.
ance. But apparently Italy has chosen
the opportunity afforded by the Mo
rocco cntanglcmcnts 10 assert her latent
protectorate over Tripoli
Tripoli has been governed direct
from Constantinoplc since 1875; prior
TO that a succession Of Bcys had en-
ioyed semi-independence. But, since
then the sultan has sent his viceroys
there. chiefly for the purpose of ex-
torting money. The Turks form a small
governing class in Tripoi, but the
Turkish language is not used there, the
Arabic being not only the official
tongue, but the common speech of the
of coast line on the Mediterranean, and
an indefinite extent TO the south. II
has been the scene of international
agreements and understandings, the
chief of which was an Indefinite un-
dersiandinp between Italy and France,
that when France took Tunis. Italian
predominance in Tripoh would ensue.
This, however, has never been conceded
by Turkey; and thus the possibility Of
trouble has lain dormant with respect
to the conflicting claims between
italy and Turkey, Tho actual rule OF
Turkey over Tripoli, however, has not
been questioned, Bat, as in the case
of Bosnia and Herzegovina. whose
status was theoretically fixed by the
Congress of Berlin as subject to Aus
trian influence, so tho latent claim of
Italian influence over Tripoli has rested
on an indefinite basis; but now Italy
proposes to assert il as an active,
practical fact, Just as Austria seized the
embarrassment of Russia to enforce her
assimilation of Bosnia and Herze.
govina
The situation is favorable to Italy
in doing this, for Turkey is rent by
dissensions, and will probably not be
able TO offer much real resistance 10
the Italian assertion. The Italian sea
power is so immea surably superior to
that of Turkey that all possibility of
Turkey doing anything on the sea is
out of the question. But. in order TO
make any resistance TO the Italian
claims in Tripoli, Turkey must have
the freedom OF the Mediterranean. for,
il is not TO be supposed that Great
Britain would allow Turkey TO march
troops through Egypt or from Egypt
in support Of Turkeys claims in Trip
oil. The advantage, therefore, appears
to be altogether with Italy, and the out
come will probably be that Italy will
recompensc. herself in Tripoli for the
disaster in Somaliland
But, whatever may be the ultimate
outcome. the news on this feature of
affairs will be watched
with the greatest possible interest the
next few days.

DISTINCTION NECESSARY.

President Taft's defense of the SUI
Ipreme Court S decision in the Standard
l0il case since he started out on his
lstumping tour, has called specific at.
ltention 10 the alleged antagonism pre-
lsented In his own views as TO The word
:. reasonable 1t will be recalled that
the court in that case, while not inject
ing the word reasonable into the
law as has been loosely claimed in the
assertion that the Supreme Court as
sumed to itself legislative power, laid
down the rule that in interpreting the
law, reason must be used in the appli.
ication of legal principles to the text of
the law and TO the case. This has given
rise to great deal of more or less an.
CRY discussion, and, as suggested. has
put the President himself on explana-
tion.
This arises by reason of the fact that
in his message to Congress of January
II, 1910. in which he discussed the pro-
posal to amend the Sherman law by in
Producing the word reasonable into
lit, he said:
IL has been proposed. however, that tho
word reasonable" should be made a part

into the law would throw too much of
a responsibility upon the court. and
would bewider the Justices as 70 the
real intention of Congress with respect
ITO the application Of prohibitive clauses
in the law And now this former argu-
ment of the President is contrasted with
his present support of the court in using
reason in the Interpretation and appli.
cation of the law.
/ There is, Of course. a vital difference
between the insertion of the word "rea
