Senator William Pierce Frye has sent
his resignation as President of the Sen.
ate to that body. Mr., Frye is getting
to be an old man. On September 2nd
next he will be eighty years of age
He has been member of Congress
for more than forty years, beginning
his service as Representative on
house in the Forty second, Forty-third
Forty fourth. Forty fifth, ysiNth,
and Forty seventh Congresses. He was
elected March Is, 1881, by the legisla'
ture of Maine, to the U. S. Senate to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the res
ignation of James G. Blaine, then ap.
pointed Secretary of State. and took
his seat March Is, 1881, so that he
has served more than thirty years in
the Senate, and has still nearly two
Frye was member Of the commission
which met in Paris in September, 1898,
TO adjust the terms OF peace between
the United States and Spain. He has
been President pro tempore of the Sen
ate for fifteen years. and twice he has
been called upon to serve regularly as
the president of that body; first, ow
ing 10 the death of Vice President Ho-
bart in 1899, when he served as such
until March 4, 1901, when Vice-Pres-
ident Roosevelt became President to the
Senate; then, on the assassination of
President Mckinley and the elevation

the end of his present term, he will
have served continuously through TWEEN
ty. one Congresses, or for fortytwo sue
cessive years.
IN voluntarily retiring from the Office
of President pro tempore Of the Sen
ate, Senator Frye alleges his great age
and infrm health as the cause OF such
retirement. He is not able to bear the
strain and responsibility any longer.
The country will regret to see Senator
Frye going into eclipse by reason of
his inirmities, as he now seems to be
doing He has been great bulwark OF
liberty, patriotism, and of Republican
ism for more than n generation of time,
He deserves well of his country. and

INDEPENDENT TELEPHONE QUITS

The announcement that the Indepen-
dent Telephone system is in trouble
financially, and will 90 out Of business
next month; that It's assets will be sold
at auction, and that its debts are very
large, marks the end Of a move that
could hardly have been very promising
from the first. Indeed, the statement IS
made that its affairs have been conduct
ed at loss from the origin of the serv-
ice. Rumor has been active for some
time that there would soon be but one
telephone service in this city, If, in.
deed, there had not been a unificatlon
already.
The fact is that two telephone sys-
TENS in city constitute an oppression
upon the people The double service
doubles the cost, TO no public advan,
tage, There should be no such incon-
venience and cost in our telephone ac-
commodations as this double service re-
quires, One service is enough, provided
1T is effective and complete. We have
heretofore urged the unifcation of the
service, by way of requiring that con-
nection should be had on q standard
lied equipment, from one system to the
other, so that the patron of one should
have the benefit of either at call But
now that the Independent system Is
going to the auction block, we shall
have but one system, and one series of
tolls to pay.
The economic waste Of the double tel
ephone system here has been very great,
There has been loug and oft complaint
about it. and the waste finally got so
great that it could not be borne by the
company.
There will doubtless be but one bid.
der at this sale under the hammer of
the Independent company's property.
That bidder will be the Bell Telephone
comuany, 1t can afford to take over
the property at its own figures, and will
thus add to its equipment reinforce
ment which it can put to good use in
extending and improving its service, to
the mutual advantage of itself and its
friends and customers.

MONROE DOCTRINE REJECTED.

appears, do not take kindly TO the
Monroe doctrine. They are not CRATE.
full to the United States for upholding
that political safeguard, nor do they
look upon the Monroe doctrine as a
On the contrary, they regard it as sim
ply means of magnifying the impor-
tance of the United States, the great
Republic of the North, which, they
consider, uses it as handle by which
this country can interfere in any
trouble or "stew' in which any Euro
pean power is concerned, or in any To-
cal insurrection, revolution, or insur.
gency that may occur within the South
American Republics themselves. This
is all told by Professor Hyram Bing-
ham of Yale, as the result of his in
vestigations in South America. and his
knowledge of the feeling of the peo-
pie in the Republics of that region.
He holds that the attitude of the
South American countries towards the
United States is one Of suspicion and
of latent hostility. The peoples inhab.
iting those nations are contemptuous
of the assumed superiority Of the
United States, and hold that they
themselves are sufficient for their

servations and deductions therefrom,
one may he pardoned for thinking that
he has not seen quite under the sur.
face. The pose of indifference or aver
sion towards the United States is all
well enough as long as no danger
threatens, and as long AS it is merely
a question of academies and argument;
but let any real peril threaten any of
those nations, and each and every one
Of them knows and feels in his inner
consciousness that its great refuge and
protection lies in the power of the
Republic Of the United States. They
can be cocky about their opinions, they
can ventilate their contempt, and show
forth every assumption of self suffi,

themselves, But let a move be made
by strong European powers, and we
have at once the appeal to the United
States.

IT'S VICIOUS RASCALITY.

The Deseret News last night, in a
sneeringly to ga special in the saloon
organ, the special being an interview
with Nathan A. Cole in Denver The
| Tribune obtained Mr. Cole interview
simply as a matter Of news. The Des-
| eret News might just as well say that
The Tribune is the anti-sulTrage organ,
because it printed Miss Seawell s eX-
pressions against conditions in States
having woman suffrage. 1t might Just
as well say that we condemn the Car
negie hero awards. because VIC print
news about them The persistent dis,
honesty Of the Deseret News in under
taking to assail The Tribune by apply.
ing TO 1T obnoxious appellations. and to
ailix upon 1t what it holds to be stigmas,
is so well understood in this community
that its efforts count for nothing,
The Tribune obtained the interview
Of Mr.. Cole from Denver. He says
that he was called to Salt Lake City by
the business men to take charge of the
campaign being waged on the liquor
question in Utah. and which will be put
TO a vote on June 9th. Who was it
that called Mr.. Cole to Utah on this
business? it certainly was not The
Tribune; it certainly was not anyone
in connection with The Tribune. The
fact is that he was called here by the
Federal bunch, and a member of that
bunch is understood to be his under
study and agent in the management Of
the liquor campaign in Utah. This was
undoubtedly fully known 10 the Deseret
News when it undertook to pass upon
The Tribune the charge of being the
saloon organ. 1t knows that the Fed,
eral bunch bargain with the liquor in
terests in Utah still holds, and that the
Federal bunch is bound to protect the
liquor men here. 1t goes almost be-
yond belief TO have the Deseret News,
knowing these facts. undertake to allix
upon The Tribune an afliliation with
the Federal bunch in Utah in its politi-
cal manipulations, as its present attack
must in fact mean. The fact that the
News undertakes this merely shows the
vile malignity and unscrupulousnes
with which it pursues its malevolent
course. 1t has neither sense nor de-
cency in its references TO The Tribune.
but whenever The Tribune is mentioned,
it goes wild with maniacal rage, and
makes spectacle Of itself, at once hid
eous. indecent, shaped upon malignant
distortion.
1t is, of course, impossible for the
News to conceive of any paper wanting
news simply because it is news; but il
