GOVERNOR WILSON TALKATIVE.

1t is clear case that Governor
Woodrow Wilson Of New jersey talks
too much. He was beaten in one of the
most thorough canVasscs ever made in
New Jersey. He went into every Dor
ton of the State. and spoke every
where. urging the necessity of the
election of Il Democratic legislature in
iectcd reforms, and dwclt scornfuIly
upon the weakness of the Republican
platform, claiming that this platform
was indefinite. colorlcss, and plcduc
nothing, much less did it pledge needed
measures advantageous TO the people or
In the interest of reform. Now, how.
ever, since the election. he has an en-
tirely different opinion about that Re
publican platform. He considers the
pledges therein very explicit and much
tive, and to the people Of the State of
New Jersey. He thinks that these
pledges arc important and beneficial
to the State. expressing himself on this
point as follows.

Here is an astonishing change almost

politicians who play upon the temper.

rise to the dignity of craftsmanship in

A BENEFIT FOR TIE CHOIR.

The Tabernacle choir has had tri'
umphaut trip in the East. IL has been
splcndidly treated everywhere. and has
given immense satisfaction TO all the
audiences which have heard IT. Its
homecoming viii be awaited with the
liveliest enthusiasm by the people Of
Salt Lake, and we believe of every por,
ton of the Stale.
And this brings us TO suggestion
which we think ought to receive instant
and effective support in this city, 1t
will be remembered that the choir went
on lis own responsibility, not backed
by the church authorities. The authori.
sure, but took no steps by way of en-
.cournccmcnt or guarantee. The guar
antce Of the expense of the choir was
made by prominent and responsible cItl-
zcns of Salt Lake. and they. of course,
stand ready to make good their pledge
in every respect.
But what VIC wish TO suggest is, that
the choir should he rendered a tcsti.
monial concert i'll the tabernacle for the
purpose Of meeting whatever deficit
may attach TO the trip, and in some
degree relieve the guarantors. This
testimonial, VIC think. would be crate
fully received by the choir; and the pco.
pie of this city undoubtedly arc moved
by reason Of tho great success Of the
trip to do something by way of show
ing their appreciation and satisfaction
In this way they will have part i'll
the triumphs which tho choir has
reapcd, and will be able to do their
part towards seeing that the choir is
made good in the expense of the trip.
The time will he Just right on the
return of the choir after its members
have had day or two TO rest from
their long journey. We move the tcs-
timonial concert and trust that the
proposal will be seconded with the en-
thusiasm which ii ought to meet with
from the people Of Salt Lake.

OUR GREAT FIRE LOSSES,

The fire losses in this country arc al
WAYS matter of serious concern, be

since, for the most part, they could he
prevented We find in the New York
Journal Of Commerce and Commercial
Bulletin statement of fire losses IN
this country and Canada for the month
of October and for the year 1911 to date,
These losses amounted in October TO
Sl7 7,765 200; for the ten months these
fire losses amounted to Sl6S,S65 100.
The estimate for the remainder of the
wear is, for November Sl4,S0S, 800, for
December $l9,915,500, making an csti.
mated total for the year Of sos ,Gl9,-
lj0.
There have been during the month
of October no fires amounting to as
much in loss as 100000, the heaviest
being the burning Of the Ashland
(Ky) tannery, $4,000; the Milwau
gee grain elevator, 100000; the Towan.

reduction works at Butte Mont. S2I5,-
900; the roundhouse and railroad cars
at Sidney (Ncb), $2J0,000.
The sad part Of it all is, thnt the
bulk Of this immense loss is entirely
needless, and that the people with
proper care could have saved nearly all
Of that money.

TRANsMrssIss1Pp1 CONGRESS.

The session oil tho Transmississippl
| Congress III Kansas City this week is OF
unusual public Importance. For a
number of years past the Transmls-
slssippi Congress has been :, sort oil
deadaliyc body, so much so that lew
years ago it tried to absorb the lrriga-
tion Congress so us TO give it some live
| topic to deal with. The Irrigation
Congress, however, refused TO he alb.
sorbcd, and the Transmississippi Con
gress fell into practical eclipse.
But tins year it has succeeded III at
tanning IN Importance very unusual by
reason Of the presence there of so many
public men, and their discussion of mat
tcrs Of immediate national Importance.
The speech Of former Senator Aid
rich in support Of his Monetary Con-
mission plan developed nothing new,
except the invitation which he extends
to banks Of the West 10 come into his
system, intimating that, by so doing,
they may get control of the financial
system therein proposed But that Is
precisely the objection raised against
the plan, that it may fall into the
hands Of the bankers exclusively and
become bankers trust, while placing
vast public resources at the disposal
Of the Central Reserve Association pro-
posed
President Fleming Of Kansas CITY
in delivering his annual address, pro"
cecdcd practically Oh lines that he
might well have done If the Trans
mississippi Congress had absorbed the
Irrigation Congress, which it once en-
dcayorcd TO do. but could not; and nc
appeared to be very much behind the
times also in stating that 'morc imam
40 900 families have prosperous homes
on irrigated farms But, If there
were not good many more than lo,-
600 families settled on irrigated farms,
this whole arid area would be vastly
thinner settled than it is. The Trans
mississippi Congress is not especially
qualified to deal with irrigation sub.
iects. as is we'll demonstrated by Mr.
Fleming S speech,
The benefits of the Panama canal to
this region, as we'll as TO other por-
tions Of the Republic, were fairly
brought ont by Secretary Stimson; and
the celebration Of the opening Of that
canal was prospectively dwelt upon
with the enthusiasm which it merits.

promised TO do during ITS earlier scs'

and we should be glad to see the Trans
Mississippi Congress wake up and take
hold Of this work in strong and effect

RECALL OF COMMERCE COURT.

A Representative of Tennessee has a
| bill which he intends to press at the
coming session Of Congress for the
merce. This court has been in existence
only since Inst winter; but il has been
a very active body, Its action has
been offensive, it appears. to good
many of the interests involved; and
the claim is made that the Commerce
Court has done altogether too much re-
versing of the Interstate Commerce
Commission This is all the more
singular, since the former chairman Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
was made the presiding Judge Of the
Commerce Court. One would naturally
have supposed. therefore. that his lean
ing, if he had any at all, would be
in favor Of the commission rather than
against il. But it is complained in the
East and South that the court has been
holding regularly against the rulings
of the commission.
No such complaint as that. however,
I is to be alleged AGAINST the court so
far as this Western country Is con-
cerned This Commerce Court upheld
the commission in Salt Lake, Spokane,
and Reno railway eases. and it now, to
clinch the matter, upholds the validity
of the long and short haul provision
in the act passed by the final session
Of the SiXty-frst CONGRESS. establishing
az al ,lo,
haul regulation The decision as re-
ported on this point appears TO be abso"
lutely conclusive. and to consider the
law as whole and not alone the
declaration of the fourth section Of the
law. which contains the long and short
haul feature. forbidding a greater
charge for short haul than for. a
longer haul, except where the Inter.
state Commerce Commission finds sulil.
cient justification for departure from
this rule. 1T is this proviso. it seems,
which saves the validity of the law, in
the opinion of the court. One member
of the court disscnts on narrow con-
struction Of the statute. But the de-
| cision Of the court completely covers
the case, and affirms the law,
