AFFLICT1oN is NO CLAIM.

Senator Gnllinger of New Hampshire,
whom the stnndpnt Senators attempted
to elect President pro tempore of the
Senate on the convening of the extra
session, has had some very severe afflic-
tions. An Eastern contemporary puts
the matter editorislly as follows;
The recent death OF the son of Senator
Gellinger who was killed In an automo-
bile accident near Concord. following the
tragic deaths OF his wife and another
son, has awakened much sympathy for
the New Hampshire Senator among his
associates in Washington. 1t has been
proposed by several Senators that ex-
Ing DR.. Gallinger Preident pro tenn OF the
Senate,
While it is undoubtedly true that
every ones sympathy is due and goes
out to Senator Gallinger in his great
Affections, it is hard indeed TO see that
those Affections afford any reason why
persons who refused to vote for him for
President of the Senate when he was
up before for that Office should change
their minds and vote for him now. Pre-
sumably their refusal 10 vote for him
at the time the vote was cast, was on
principle, aud because of the merits Of
the case. The fact that Senator Gal.

THE PRESIDENT GRATIFIHD.

President Taft is not backward in
showing his high qualification at the
result of the vote in the Senate on the
Canadian reciprocity agreement, he
is fully justified in his jubilat tion, be-
cause he made that agreement tho big
point of his policy for the extra ses.
sion Of Congress-. And now he has
won decisive victory over such OF
tho standpntters as opposed him, and
especially over the insurgents who
ought naturally to have boon his sup
porters.
President Tnft quite properly gives
O largo portion Of the praise to which
he utters to Secretary Knox for his
ability and ndroitness in framing the
reciprocity agreement. This is quite
appropriate, but after all tho great
thing was the political side Of the mnt-
ter which has intervened between the
time of the framing Of the agreement
and it's final ratification by the Sen
ate And President Taft docs not for
get those who were instrumental and
effective in bringing about the inter
mediate and final successes which have
given him his great triumph in this
case. He naturally and properly
gives high praise to the Democratic
Representatives and Senators who
ranged themselves with practical
soidity on his side of this con
tention He recognizes that their act
was the act Of patriots, serving their
country without regard to party. The
fact that this service fell into line in
a general way with Democratic princi-
Piles ought not to detract in the least
from the high praise which President
Taft gives to his Democratic support
erS.
The agreement is now ratified, al
though the formal and final closing
scenes will not be enacted until tomor'
row, when both House and Senate will
be in session, and the presiding offi-
GERS Of each will sign the enrolled bill
in open session, and then it will be
transmitted to the President for his
signature, winch VIII, ol coui9o, oo -
stantly affixed.
The compact now goes to Canada
for ratification. There would appear
to be no doubt whatever of Canada IS
concurrence, 30 that we may consider
that the agreement is certain to be
made effective and be put into
effect so as to have its bearings upon
the present years crops. And then
we can all see by practical demomstra,
tion how little there has been in the
outcry that the agreement would ruin
the farmers OF the United States.

SALT LAKES CASE WON.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has decided tho rate cases of three oft
los, Salt Lake, Spokane, and Reno. The
decision 10 carried In other columns OF
The Tribune this morning and is OF
such fullness as to give clear idea OF
the points decided. The complaining
cities appear to have won tho mnin
points Of their contention in all re-
spccts. Tho amendment to the railroad
bill, known as the short-hnul clnuse
seems to have made some doubt In the
minds OF the commissioners, and 1t took
considerable explaining to exponnd pre-
cisely what the commission construes
that amendment to mean. But as the
outcome, the amendment is held to
mem the popular understanding that
in general for q short haul no greater
charge can be made than for longer
haul; this. to be sure, to be subject to
some notifications, but as a general
principle that is the decision.
Salt Lakes contention was, in effect.
that freights from the East should bear
no greater charge for transportation TO
this city than to coast points. This,
broadly Speaking, is fully granted, and
there can be no doubt but the result
will be substantial reduction In
freight charges to the business men of
this city and of other cities Of Utah,
The Spokane case was also decided IN
favor of Spokane, on broad lines, and
the Reno case on even broader lines In
favor Of Reno. The local rate back
from the coast to all cities is absolutely
eliminated.
The victory is a great one for Utah.
The credit for 1t is mainly due to Com
missioner Babcock, who had charge OF
the case, and who conducted it 80 ably
and on such exact lines. The Com
mcrcial Club, in organizing its Traffic
Bureau, and in getting Mr.. Babcock to
take charge of the cases, did excellent
work, with result that will be Of the
very highest importance to Salt Lake
City,
1t is great victory, well won, and
the fruits of 1t must necessarily be in
evidence in enlarged trade and an i'm
mense expansion Of the jobbing bust
ness Of this point.

THE sMOoT JOKER

The Idaho sheep mon hnvo found
what they think is "joker' in the
Smoot bill to amend Schedule X of the
tariff bill, which relates to wool and
manufactures Of wool. The Idaho men
claim that this joker Is found in the
provision of the Smoot bill which per
mits tho manufacturers to import their
choice of light woods which shrink
thirty per cent, ut rate of nine cents
per pound for all classes as compared
with Idaho wool which shrinks sixty
per cent under securing. The Idaho
woolmon say that if the buyers can OBJ
tain competitive wool which shrinks
but thirty per cent, the woolgrowcrs il
Idaho might just rs we'll 20 out Of bust
moss. They claim that this joker would
practically cut tho. wool tariff In two
so far as they are concerned, and that
it would ruin their industry altogether
1t is very likely that the Idaho sheep
men are in the right Of 1t about this
Still, it is not likely that Smoot knew
anything about this joker. He know;
that q Joker of this kind could be rur
in on him and he would never know it
so the Idaho wool men ought not to b'
too severe on Smoot on account Of thl:
Joker. For it is not in the least likely
that he knew of its presence, or thai
he knew the effect of the thirty pei
cent shrinkage which was made par
of his bill. And as long as he did MOI
moan it, and did not know he was do
ing it, why get mad about it, and why
blame him7
The Smoot bill, so called, appears II
be nothing more than modification o.
the La Toilette amendment which tht
dispatches yesterday morning say is th'
most likely tariff proposition to pass a
the present session. It is extremely
doubtful, however, il that or any othe'
tariff measure will pass, or if it doe
pass that the President will sign it
because President Taft has very dis
tinctly given Congress to understand
that he wants to wait on all matters o:
tariff revision until his Tariff Boart
has made investigation and report. Ant
since that is the reasonable thing tt
do, and since the only good that thu
country can get out of this Tariff Boarf
is to have its report on all matters o.
the tariff where amendment or chang
is sought. the logical thing to do is t.
wait until that board makes investiga
ton and reports its findings to th
President and to Congress. This is s,
reasonable proposition that it is prac
tically sure to be adopted by the Sen

THE BIG AUTOMOBILE PARTY

Mayor Bransford Of this city did q
good stroke, both Of courtesy and OF
business, in going hundred miles over
into Wyoming to meet the transcontl-
mental automobile party and escort 1t
to this city. The personnel Of that party
is well worth consideration. It can do
great things for the development OF all
this western region, and it is entitled to
all the courtesies that can be accorded
it in this great transcontinental trip by
automobile.
The party is TO remain in this city
during the day, and part Of tomorrow,
We wish that the membership might re-
main for the rest of the week, 30 as to
enjoy, not only the pleasures Of the
lake, of the canyons, and of the hills,
but so that the party might visit the
mining camps, absorb personal knowl-
edge OF the great mineral resources and
output Of Utah, and see how the great
business is conducted. We could wish
also that they would be put in touch
with some of the great reclamation
projects, and Of the enhanced agricul-
tural possibilities of this State. 1t is
great opportunity to impress these
advantages and possibilities where that
impress may do the most good.
In the meantime, during the sojourn
Of this party, The Tribune extends to
it the heartiest welcome on behalf of
the city and the State, and trusts that
nothing will be lacking in the way of
affording the members every possible
pleasure, comfort, and information

IT'S IDEA OF HARMONY.

1t is only a few days ago that the
Deseret News pleaded that the Nor
mons had no quarrel with anybody,
that they wanted peace, good will and
harmony to prevail in Utah, and that
their greatest desire was to tell the
truth and be fair to everybody. 1t is,
therefore, appropriate that we should
reproduce an editorial expression in last
nights Deseret News bearing upon this
point, and which reads as follows;
1t was only when politics of the meaner
sort came to these primitive community
units, that any friction arose only
after men were sent from afar to fill
the lucrative political offices was there
any trouble, and most OF that was
wholly unnecessary. due TO the lack OF
IL comprehension of the aims OF the peo-
10 rule over them. and who did not seem
TO try to understand them. And what
ever trouble arose later II ls clear that
the only excuse for similar trouble to
day lies In the desire OF those who profit
by It TO loot city funds and to fatten
upon the public reVenues-the real rea :
son now for the existence OF local
party that is seeking to renew certain
troubles OF the past. long since settled.
Doubtless by "politics Of the meaner
sort" the News means opposition to
church rule, and objection to the des-
potic sway of the priesthood. With
respect to the persons sent from abroad
to fill political offices, it is quite true
that they occasionally did not compres
hend the aims and purposes of the &c
clesiastical rulers, and this led to more
or less friction; but those officials, as
a rule, sought to establish American
ideas and American principles here, so
far as it was within their province to
do so; and necessarily this ran against
the prevailing theocratic usurpatlon.
With regard to the excuse for similar
trouble today being in the desire of
those who profit by it TO loot city
funds and to fatten upon public reve-
nue., it is only necessary to say that
there Is a stricter accountability and
more rigid requirement Of honesty
and efficacy in and of the American
party than does exist or has existed
with respect to any other party. The
slightest infringement of the most rigid
standard of honest dealing on the part
of an American official is magnified
into an offense of the greatest moment,
while officials Of the party favored BY
the church can do all sorts of rascally
and villainous things, and are defended
by the church organ therein.
And that is the kind of an organ
that has no quarrel with anybody and
that wants peace and harmony to pre-
vail In Utah.

GERMANY ISOLATED.

Tt seems incredible that Germany
should undertake to found any real
claim for anything whatever on ac-
count of her impulsive and entirely nm
warranted occupation Of Agadir in Mo
rocco. And yet dispatches gravely tell
us that Germany wishes TO exact from
France an immense tract of country
on the Kongo as a recompense for with
drawing from Agadir. 1t is not to be
wondered at that France peremptorily
rejects any such proposition. 1t is i'm
possible, in fact, that any of the powers
represented in the convention Of Alge'
ciras should consent to the idea of Ger
many getting any rights anywhere by
her unwarranted occupation of Agadir
By the convention held at Algeciras
the policing of Morocco was left to
France and Spain, These countries
have by no means exceeded the author
ity conferred upon them by that con
vention, and, in fact, can go rood
deal further than they have done with
out exceeding it. The immediate point
of discomfort on the part Of Germany
was the relief expedition which the
French sent from the Atlantic coast
TO Fee, for the relief of the besieged
Sultan in that city. When the French
troops approached Fee, Germany gave
warning that it would not be well for
the French to enter the city. IT was
impossible, however, for the French &c
allow that warning to guide their ac-
tion, for, unless they entered the city
their expedition would be an absolute
nullity. They might stay outside the
walls fighting the tribesmen Indefinite
ly with no result, they had to go into
the city, and did so. Germany's an
swer was the seizure of Agadir, be
cause the Kaiscr's warning was not
needed. The warning was in itself an
intrusive impertineuce, and gave the
| Germans no reason whatever for inter
ference. On the contrary, if France had
not gone to the relief Of the hard
pressed Sultan, Germany and the Other
treaty powers represented ar Algeciras
would have had just cause of com
plant, because it was the duty Of
France in her capacity as policeman OF
Morocco to see that the Sultan wa.
protected
The dispatches from Europe indi
cate a feeling of irritation that might
in former decades have resulted il
wnr. 1t is not in the least likely, how
ever, that war will ensue because OF
this incident; for Germany is absolute
| ly isolated in her Moroccan policy
Russia and Great Britain will support
France and Spain, and Spain will nee
essarily fall into line In spite of the
rumor that Germany is supposed TO have
been tampering with the Spanish cab
met with a view to detaching Spair
from cooperation with France
The situation, to be sure, is an awk
ward one for Germany, made so by
the impulsive action of the occupation
of Agadir. But those who act on i'm
pulse have to bear the results of that
impulsive action, and il looks as though
Germany would be obliged to suffeI
