THE BRYAN TEST.

Some time ago, Mr.. Bryan refused
an invitation to join in a Democratic
joyfest, and in doing so gave as his
opinion that the test of present day
Democracy is to be found in the ad.
herance of Democratic leaders to the
theories which the Lincoln Leader
enunciated in the campaigns which he
made for the presidency. In comment
ing upon this attitude of Mr.. Bryan's
the Chicago Tribune has this to say !.
The main test proposed by Mr."
Bryan for the presidential aspirants Of
the Democratic party is characteristic
and important. Mr.. Bryan is no long
Ell master of his party but to assume
that he is a negligible quantity, as the
conservatives are disposed to do OF
late, is to be deceived by hope,
"Mr. Bryan's test is support of the
national Democratic ticket in 1896
1900, 1904 and 1908, and Mr.. Bryan
adds the following calculation: THE
same fundamental division exists to
day that existed then QS96, 1900, 1906
between plutocracy and democracy
between government by the specia
interests and government by the PEG
pie. A man who went wrong in am
OF those campaigns still is wrong"

TO PROTECT LANDOWNERS.

Cache county is to have an associa-
ton for the protection of landown-
ers from citizens who are inclined to
depreciation While it is a reflection
upon society that organization must
be made to prevent certain of its
members from cutting down fences
and shooting valuable livestock be-
longing to other members, yet the
experience of farmers has taught
them that that is just what is needed.
Some men will go out with a gun
in their hands and shoot down the
valuable livestock of other people. Yet
these same men are commonly regard
ed as honest, virtuous and lawabiding
citizens. Some of them are involuntar-
lily to blame. They aim to do well,
but their aim is poor. Many goose

in the hide of some less fortunate
creature. Such is life. At the same
time, the unfortunate creature may
be another man who is harmful, limo
cent but fated to get in front of the
discharged load. Fools are born ev
cry minute.
Then again, there are men who
know better and shoot voluntarily
and they are dangerous members Of
society, no matter how well they are
regarded by their fellowmen. The
sneak who will cut fences or jeopar
disc the property of others, needs t.

Will be one of the most important

question, and it will be, so to speak,
the first official Democratic action,
the first event from which it will be
possible to make differences as to how
the Democrats are going to use their
power. There is little doubt that most
of the Democrats realize how morally

Standpatters in maintaining the old

upon coming into power themselves
would not enhance the confidence of

majority with eager curiosity. Never.
theless there is determined opposition
among some of the Democrats.
But this comment was written be
fore the remarkable flop of the Dem
ocrats on the ruling of Speaker Can.
on just last week. According to the
new attitude, it is doubtful as to just
what attitude the party to be in
power will assume. Plainly the action
of Champ Clark was against any rad.

speaker. The one fight which pointed
the decline of Speaker Cannon was

he went to the doctor. and told him
bis eyesight was bad. The doctor
looked at him for a while and then
said:

Il know lots of men who work not

TO duty who take pride in what they
do whatever it may be and who think
OF that only, never looking for praise;

THE SUNDAY BILL.

The Sunday Closing Bill introduced
by Representative w. L. Hayes OF
Utah county, will be considered by
the House Judiciary Committee on
Thursday at 10 o'clock. The attention
OF our readers is called to the bill,
umn of this paper We trust the bill
will pass. There is entirely too much
disregard for the Sabbath Day. It
was decreed by the Great Ruler as a
day of rest, of quiet, and of worship.
Instead of proper reverence for this
day the disposition is to turn it into
a day of recreation and amusement.
OF course there will be organized
opposition to this bill. All the thea
tres, vaudevilles, etc, in Salt Lake,
except the Salt Lake Theatre, will
be arrayed against it, but the mem
bers of the legislature should take a
trim stand, and pass tho bill regard
less of the appeals of these special
interests. Representative Funk of
Cache County is on the judiciary
Committee and we trust he will be
successful in getting it reported ia
yorably.

WILL THEY, OR WON'T THEY7

Golfers Weekly, in commenting on
the movement which resulted last
March in almost taking from the
Speakers hands the power of com
mittee appointments, points out that
Democracy was largely concerned in
this movement and spoke long and
eloquently for the adjustment of
such mower. The Weekly then goes
in to comment regarding the plan
which the Democrats will likely
adopt:
The new plan, which will prob
ably be adopted by the Democrats, Is
for party caucus to choose single
all-powerful committee, Ways and
Means, and let this committee select
all the other committees. Whether
this new plan shall be adopted, Of
whether the old system shall be re
tanned, will be determined at caucus
