THE BOARD WHITEWASHED.

The finding Of the State Senate s
committee with respect to the doings
of the State Land Board is equivalent
to the old qurk, "'Not guilty, but
don I do it again,
The committee gives the board a sort
Of cXculpation, but brings in bill,
recommending its enactment, TO pre-
vent the things of which the land
board was accused and of which it, is
now acquitted, OF lending public
money to its members, of leasing pub
lie lands to them. or renewing to them
such loans and leases. If the board
had not been doing these things, it is
should recommend the passage of a
bill forbidding those very things. If
the board is guitess, why convey the
necessary implication that it has been
doing wrong?
The investigation made by the com
mittee was extremely limited and mar
rowcd down 10 the resolution under
which the investigation was held. 1t
related simply to the point of mem
bers of the board having obtained
loans from funds and leases on land
under their charge; but it is found that
these loans and leases wcrc made to
these members before they became
members, though renewals made since
are equally reprehensiblc There were
other things of good deal of i'm
portance that have been made public
in connection with the doings Of this
board that certainly should have been
investigated also, as the padded pay
rolls and the apparently unauthorized
signatures by one person of large
number of names to payrols These
were not inquired into at all, although
they might well have been, even
though the resolution did not expressly
call for the information that would
necessarily have been thereby obtained.
The result of the investigation is, in
the current term of the day, clearly a
whltewash. and is by no means what

PUTS 1T UP TO THE LORDS.

The British Ministry is using com.
mendable diligence and energy in pro.
ceeding against the obstructionist
House of Lords. The coalition in Par.
lament holds fast, giving the Ministry
a majority of l24 on this question. The
result was greeted by the Commons
with tremendous enthusiasm, and the
Prime Minister was given an ovation
on the result of tho vote being an
nounced, upon the first reading of the
bill
This veto bill provides that the House
of Lords shall not have the power to
amend or in any way change balls that
come from the House of Commons re-
lating to the raising of revenue or the
appropriation of money. If the House
Of Lords accepts this bill, that will
settle the matter in controversy for all

Of the same mind as the Ministry on

majority may be now there against it,
There is possibility that the Lords
may accept the veto measure as il is,
rather than see their house inundated

would carry the measure in spite of

EXTRA SESSION ASSURED.

Members of the Senatorial branch of

tlon from what was evidently designed

ORPHANS HOME APPROPRIATION

The Utah Legislature with a unani-
nous vote, in each House, has made a
needed appropriation for the Orphans
Home and Day Nursery in this city.

having this institution in cahrge is so
evident TO everyone, so well known TO
the public, that there has been no
opposition, nor any reason for opposi
tion, to the action Of the Legislature
in this matter. either in or out Of that
body. The bill making the appropria
ton is in the hands of the Governor,

AMERICAN SPY ASKS HELP.

The news from Mexico with regard
to the captured American spy revives
the issue that was raised by Zelaya in
Nicaragua when he caught and shot
two Americans who were fighting in
the insurrectionary army. Now it is
said that an American is in the hands
of the regular MEXICAN forces, charged
with being a spy acting for the iDsur-
rectos, Just as did the Nicaragua cap
tives. this American is now appealing
for aid from the United States. 1T is
not easy, however, to see what the
United States can do about it, except
to make a plea for lenity. Officially
1T can make no claims in behalf of
this captured SPY, and, while Mexico
might be disposed, and perhaps would
be disposed, to listen favorabIy to a
plea on his behalf from the United
States. that plea could only be on the
general lines of humanity and mercy,
and not by reason of any claim that
the captive is an American citizen, be-
cause, on entering the service Of the
insurrectos, he gave up his American
citizenship and renounced his American
nationality, He took his own chances
and is friendlcss and alone in this
crisis Of his life.
1t is deeply unfortunate that man
should be caught in this deporable
condition, and vet this is the plain fact
of the case. The man is without Cit
izenship anywhere, without resource or

PROF. PETERsoN's ANSWER.

The plea made by Professor Henry
Peterson Of the b. Y. University at
Provo is n ghtforward, manly
statement, with which any instructor
might well be content. His denial is
both general and direct. AT the same
time. it is not specific as TO any given
point or charge. nor could it be, since
against him also lacked definiteness
and made no specific allegation Of
wrongdoing, or Of misleading or de-
structive teaching; and so Professor
Peterson S answer is as specific and di-
rect as it was possible to make it.
His plea that instructors must en-.
Joy liberty in their work, that they
must be allowed TO show their pupils

of knowledge IN the world on the
various themes presented. is so just

controvert it in any way Undoubtcd-

This liberty of recognizing and i'm.

says, has been INDUCED in by him con

or in any way meant TO be destructive
of religious feeling; aud he appeals 10
the results Of his teaching as fully

gard. 1t is difficult TO see how any

LoRIMER's PLEA FOR HIMSELF.

The speech made by Senator Lorimer
of Illinois in his own behalf in the
Senate on Washington IS birthday is an
extraordinarily appealing one. His de-
ninls of all connection with or knowl-
edge Of bribery, or anything crooked,
in his election; his assertions Of COM
plete innocence Of any dishonest or un-
worthy procedure in that event, must
strike the country, and it appears to
have struck the Senators, as one Of
clean minded sincerity.
Personally, Mr.. Lorimer is said to
be a gentleman not only irreproach-
able IN his life. but an exemplar of
personal cIeanminded speech, excellent

RUSHING THE SNAP TREATY.

1t is surprising to see the quickness
with which the senate undertook to
ratify the new japanese treaty. There
must have been a complete under
standing between the President and the
Foreign Affairs committee Of the Sen
ate with regard to this bill, because ii
was reported back favorably to the
Senate almost as soon as the com
mittee could have met to consider
it; and there was actually a move to
have the Senate act favorably upon
the treaty without any discussion or
delay whatever.
IT is hard to understand why mat
ter of this very high Importance should
be rushed in the way that this has
been, so contrary to the usual delibera-
tion and practice of the Senate.
There must he some special reason,
has not vet been explained, to cause
this hasty effort. The Senate was al.
most caught mapping by the quickness
of the committee report, and it ap-
peared quite probable for a short while
that favorable consideration could be
had at once. Fortunately. however, the
rush for immediate passage did not
have quite steam enough; the treaty
will be discussed, and the country
will be heard from before final action
is taken There can he not the slight.
est doubt of the warmest opposition
of all this western country TO that
treaty, and the Senators from all the
States west of the Mississippi river
and, we hope, good many from the
States east Of that river, will probably
form n dependable force against
tho treaty, which it is hoped cannot be
overcome.
There has been an appearance of
bullying on the part of Japan ever
since President Roosevelt gave way
to the Japanese menace on the school
question in San Francisco. That was a
matter with which the Government of
the United States had no possible con
ccrn. and should not in the least have
interfcrcd The school board of San
Francisco showed trucking spirit in
that matter which could hardly be
expected from an American community.
That seems 10 have given the Japanese
an idea that anything which they
might demand would be granted by the
United States. provided only they
were hot enough in their bluff If the
United States expects to keep out
japanese coolic immigration. now is
the time TO do il by the rejection of
this treaty or through a supplementary
article, secret or otherwise, that would
thoroughly cover the case and absolute
~ bar out that immigration. For. if
have 10 accept Chinese coolies, as we
cannot play favortcs in this matter
as between those two peoples. The time
is come when our Government must
take decided stand on this ques-
ttion II it is going TO let Asiatic
coolies come freely into this country,
tbcre will he the worst kind of trouble
all over this western region. If it is
not going to let them in it should DOW.
for all time, declare its opposition, and
put mp the bars.
Japan has forced the issue, and now
we must determine for ourselves exact
" what we mean to do. But the prime
consideration is to bar coolie and con-
tract labor, whether Chinese or Japan
csc; and with what face can we bar
Chinese and admit Japanese?

NO SOCIALISTIC UTOPIA.

1t is probable that there is very little
real substance 10 the accounts wired
relative TO the establishment of so.
cialistic independent community in
Lower California. AT the same time.
the suggestion is liable to draw
strength to the insurrcctory forces of
Northern Mexico, and there is posi-
bility that President Diaz might listen
to "A proposition Of that kind if there
by the rebellion in the north could
be headed off
But the difficulty of forming such
very great. The Mexicans who are en-
gagged in this insurrectiou are not
workers. The very revolt they are en-
gagged in shows that they do not want
10 work but want TO live from the
labor of others. But that is no solid
foundation for the organization of a
Socialistic or other form of Govern
ment, There must be in every form
of community organization united

lloH tOWdTuS the common emu, IN OTQcr
to have the Government succeed. But
with the Socialists doing their best
to establish industrial and community
success in Lower California, and the
Mexirans to whose rescue they may
have gone standing ready to prey upon
them at every opportunity. the Social
lists would have far the worst of it all
the time.
Whatever may be said with regard
TO charging that Socialistic statehood
is a vain dream Of Utopia, it is certain
that this suggestion of a Socialistic
government in Lower California.
with the Mexican insurectos nominally
in partnership and actually ready at
all times and on every occasion to
prey upon it, is an absolutely impos.
sible Utopia.
