THE RIVALRY OF CHOIRS.

There is a keen rivalry on between
the Salt Lake tabernacle choir and the
Ogden tabernacle choir for preference
in responding to tho invitation to make
II trip to New York and sing the irri-
CATION ode at the American land and
irrigation exhibition to be held in that
city next November. The Tribune has
heretofore commented on this proposed
visit with favor. The Descret News
has rather disparaged the idea Of the
Ogden tabernacle choir being consid-
cred in this connection. holding that
the Salt Lake choir is the proper one
to go. So far as The Tribune is con
ccrncd, we hope that there will be no
bitterness in this connection All that
we suggest is that Utah be properly
talent, and by the most powerful choir,
if t is TO be represented at all in any
sort of musical exercises, either by
singing the irrigation ode or otherwise.
We have no prejudice against the Og-
den choir, and bespcak for 1T a fair
chance to realize its ambition in this
respect. Here in Salt Lake we nat
urally look to the Salt Lake tabernacle
choir as the big choir, the leading one
Of the State. But The Tribune is not
ing TO sec Ogden have a perfectly fair
chance to establish its right to be pre-
ferrcd if il can do SO; or if the best
talent in both chors can be Joined for
the purpose of making better showing
than either can make singly, to that
we are still agreed. The one thing
that should always be kept in mind
is that Utah should be represented by
its best in this, as in other matters
where contests arise, or where compcti-
tion abroad is likely to be had.
AS we understand it, the choir that
goes will have its expenses paid by
the voluntary contributions of its ad-
mirers. We are surprised, therefore,
TO see the matter brought up in the
Legislature, and should like to inquire
right now, before anything becomes
fixed in a legislative way, what the
Legislature has TO do with it Ii is en-
tirely outside of the province of the
Legislature TO decide on the artistic
merits of these respective choirs. And
il the underlying idea is to have the
Legislature make an appropriation for
either choir to make this trip, then we
shall have TO file an emphatic protest
That is no proper object upon which to
expend the taxpayers money.

MOVING ON THE MAGAZINES.


Hitchcock is determined that the
magazines shall not be allowed to cir
culate through the mails vast masses
of advertising surrounding q compare
lively small ratio of reading matter
without paying postal rates correspond.
ing to the rates for business matter, II
he can stop it. Many magazines are
unqucstionably more in tile nature of
advertising sheets than of reading
matter calculated to benefit and in
struct the public. And so, the Post
master General wants them to pay pos
tai rates accordingly,
But after all, the reading matter in
most of the magazines is Of such
character as TO call Justly for lenity on
the part Of the postal officials in this
respect. The magazines are useful
educators of the people, and the people
can fairly afford to face a little deficit
in the postoffice department, if that
deficit is caused by the allowance of
vcrtisemeDts included, as second. class
reading matter. IT is a good invest
ment for the public who pay this de
ficit, rather to be chosen than to be
without the magazines or even to have
the magazines seriously crippled in
their circulation.
President Taft's first message
broached this subject, and he put forth
some comparisons as to the cost Of
carrying this class Of matter, includ
ing, as he did, the newspapers But
that computation was quickly and
easily shown to be ridiculously wide OF
the mark. He estimated the cost at
9 cents pound, whereas a committee
of Congress had put it at ] cent a
pound. And Canada carries newspapers
at less rate than | cent, and has sur
plus i'll her postal operations Besides,
she has longer distances to carry her
mails, and thinner population than we
haye. The advantage is all on our
side in this respect, so that unques-
tionably the computation OF | cent a
pound. as the cost for carrying this
class of matter, is over rather than
under the mark.
The postal department has done very
we'll indeed, in reducing the deficit.
About wothirds of that deficit was
cut off last year, and the probability
is that the remaining third Of it will
disappear the present year. But If any
deficit remains, it will undoubtedly be
caused by the abuse of the franking
privilege by members of Congress and
by the departments If the Postmas-
ter General shall be able to get law
passed that Will fix a maximum allow
ance for members of Congress and the
departments in their free Transmission
of matter through the mails, he will
do the country great service, as
well as relieve the department of its
deficit Or, if he shall be able to estab.
lish tho practice which he urges, that
Congressman shall use stamps, provided
free. in place of franking their mail
matter, and the departments shall do
the same, each having different colored
stamps, so that the extent sf the free
use of the mails by Congressman and
by departments can be certainly fixed,
then we shall be on the true basis for
getting at the facts which will allow
of right action in the handling Of the
mails, and the charges TO be fixed
therefor; and the deficit will be easily

LIQUOR AND THE BIG STICK.

There have been clear evidences of
the swinginr of the big stick by the
big boss in the matter Of liquor legis
lation at this session of the Leglsla-
ture, 1t is not pretended that any
liquor Legislation is needed. either in
the interest of the public or for the
restriction or regulation of the liquor
traffic. The reason constantly urged
in the clamor for liquor legislation at
this lime is that the Republican State
platform promised such legislation. But
when the Republican legislators get
together and try TO define what the
meaning of that platform is, they al
WAYS end in the widest sort of dis
agreement as TO the construction TO put
upon the language of the platform.
Some hold that prohibition must be
enacted in the rural districts, and 10,
cal option in the cities; others that
the rural districts are TO hold elec.
tions if they want 70. on the ques
ton; and the demand that the peo-
pie should be made to hold elections
on the liquor question whether they
want to or not is insistent But fully
half Of the people of this State have
no interest in redeeming Republican
they ought to be put to needless ex
pense and trouble because the Re-
publican party adopted sloppy sort
of platform, the meaning of which no
body seems TO know
Early i'll the session, appeal was
state what must be done in regard
to the liquor question, He sent
reply based altogether on partisan
grounds, without the slightest regard
to the public interests, debating what
he wanted done. That was the first
swing Of the big stick, The legisla-
tors were plainly told by Smoot that
they must enact certain thing
whether they considered that to be
the Republican pledge or not, or
whether 1T was best for the public or
not, But they must enact it because
he said so. And yesterday morning
his organ in this city came out with
another swing of the big stick, ar
raigning certain members OF the Legis-
laturc by name, because they had
not done what the big boss had so curt
ly commanded.
1t is difficult TO see how the Legis-
lators can, without self-stultification,
conform to the demand OF the big boss,
especially AS the language used in The
Republican State platform does not
correspond TO the language that he
uses in bis dictatorship. And when we
consider that the liquor question is in
about as good shape in this State as
it can be. without bothering any more
about il. the clamor for submission
TO the dictation and the demand that
the legislators shall cringe at the
swing Of the club, is an arrogant de-
maud that freemen can hardly listen
TO without resentment. No matter
how much puffcry the Smoot organ
may give to the apostle and his weak
satellites in Congress from Utah, the
spirit of man is certain to revolt
against the open demand that lie shall
submit TO dictation when he is free
TO do as he plcases under his oath of
office, and under the obligations which
he as Legislator owes TO his con
