soveriegns. The campaign will soon
commence. We shall have various
candidates. The Republican party
has a candidate. The Democratic
party has a candidate. There are
various other candidates. When the
silent ballots fall somebody will be
chosen. Perchance, If in the chap
ter of happenings and by a
vote of the majority your candidate
Mr.. Wilson is elected and becomes
President Of the United States, he
will be your President, and my Pres
ident, the President of the whole
country, the coordinate branch of The
government, the titular leader of his
party in all soberness; and you will
be called on many time to answer
this question: II you succeed and
elect your candidate for the Presi.
dency, will his policy be shaped ac-
cording to the first AZ years Of his
life, as evidenced by his writings, by
his teachings? Or will it be shaped
by what he has said in the last II
months, directly to the contrary OF
his teachings? Who is to be deceived
If he becomes President? And will
it be by his givings out of the last
10 months, or by his words and writ
ings and actions for the first AZ or
AZ years of his life?
1t is useless to say that there was
no reply.

matter of profound concern not alone
to the city administration Of New
York, but to every lover of righteous
ness in all the world.
According to the testimony of an
eye witness to the affair Rosenthal
had just stepped out of the main en-.
trance of a prominent hotel accom-.
panied by another man. Suddenly
the other man gave a signal by poi
Ting at his hat and Immediately a vol
Hey of bullets from band Of thugs
stationed near the curb rained into
Rosenthal's body.
The remarkable feature Of the af.
fair is that notwithstanding seven
policemen we're in that immediate vi
cinity not one of the murders were
aprehended nor the slightest clue to
their identity established Small
wonder that the people are asking II
the police were not in league with
the murders. Did Rosenthal have
! evidence of police corruption? And
If so, was that evidence of such Sc
rious import that the guilty ones
would not hesitate at murder in or
der to prevent exposure?
| This much seems certain the
gamblers whose interests depended
upon police protection had far les.
to fear from such exposure than die
the police. The gambler is accus
toned to raids and penalization, bu
the police sworn to uphold the laws
and to fight vice in every conceivabl,
shape and form, were in a most Sc
rious perdicament II their recreancy
to trust could be established.
Whether a system" OF spoilatior
exists in which the professional gam
blers are "the parties of the frs
part" and the police department O
Greater New York, the party O
the second part" only a thoroughly
reliable and painstaking investigation
will disclose.
Such an investigation has been or
dered by Mayor Gaynor and is nov
in progress. Meantime, the result Il
awaited with interest by the entir,
civilized world.

been acquainted with Root for many
years. He had seen him in public
and in private life. He had seen
him tried out in important positions
And he said that Senator Elihu Root
was the best equipped American citi-
zen.
Now there is no term Of opprobri-
um strong enough to express his es-
innate of what he calls Roots base
ness.
He knew Mr.. Taft, had known him
for years, tried him out in officiallpo-
sition, placed responsibility on his
shoulders, found him wise, depend
able. true, loyal to his every trust,
far sighted, yet progressive In the
interest OF the nation-and he made
Taft the candidate to succeed him, in
the Presidential chair, Now he calls
Taft a receiver of stolen goods, a re
dictionary, traitor to the people a
slave to interests antagonistic to the
American nation. These can not oe
| true of the man Roosevelt named as
his successor. There has been no
reversal in the character or the rec
ord Of either Senator Root or Press
dent Taft.
II is Mr.. Roosevelt that has chang
ed. He said he would not again be
candidate for President and he
said 1t when the people were willing
to elect him again regarding his first
three years as not being bar to re-
election. It was Roosevelt himself
who took the view that that period
when he filled out the term for which
Mr.. Mckinley was elected, was his
own term and operated as bar to
election in 1908. Nobody else so re-
GREETED it. He did, But he has
changed his mind.
A man so uncertain, SO extreme In
his views, SO impatient of counsel or
constraint, so unmindf"' Of pledges,
SO forgetful Of past utterances--
would not be safe man in place
Of power.
The American people are consis-
tent.

Salt Lake Tribune: 1t must be
surprise to Colonel Roosevelt to see
that even the Chicago Tribune,
which has been his great champion
refuses to follow him into the new
party movement. 1t will support
Roosevelt for President because
what is vitiating, destructive and
corrupt in the Republican organiza
tom" but II believes that all these
bad agencies in the Republican party
can be cleared out of that party b.

as the Chicago Tribune itself says:
1t believes that the wisest policy is
to make every effort TO secure con.

meet the necessities of governme"'
And 1t must prove that new part
Is the only instrument upon
which any reasonable dependence
may be put.
And so the Tribune does not favor
third party in Illinois. II sees
clearly that the organization OF
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1912-08-03

third party in that State would de
feat the Republican party, disorgan'
ize its forces, and create feuds and
choas from which II would be dltfi
cult, IL not impossible, to extricate
the party organization.
This is clearly a sign Of returning
common sense and good party feel
ing. In Illinois there is no reason In
the State itself why there should be
third party, and accordingly the
Chicago Tribune wishes to work out
the party problem within the party
itself.
II is altogether different in Utah.
Here the chief party trouble is with
in the local party itself, which by
the favor of a power that ought to
be altogether extraneous from poll
tics and taking no part therein has
given to boiling bosses the control oil
the Republican organization, and
those bosses have not only betrayed
the people and the power which
gave them their strength, but have
arrogantly, foully, and indecently
abused the peoples trust and made
of themselves the most odious set OF
political reprobates outside of Tam
many Hall. They have, in fact beer
quite appropriately termed Utah's
Tammany, and to get rid Of that ma
lign and malevolent force in Utah's
politics is a far greater desideratun
than to follow Colonel Roosevelt ir
his ambition to be President.

| Of Commerce., sweeping reductions
| are made in express rates, and dras.
tic changes in express practises. All
was done with the cooperation of the
companies, which announce an imme-
date compliance with the orders to
mend their ways, but will protest, at
hearing on October 8, the PROPOSE
ton to reduce their receipts. Most
| OF the papers, however, are inclined
to hink that the express people will
| accept the rate reduction when the
time comes, in view of the popular
demand for a parcel-post and the
possible added profits in the growth
of low rate small package business.
The rate reductions average Is per
cent and on lighter parcels from. 20
to 80 per cent. No less important is
the establishment of a simpler and
more scientific method of fixing these
rates. The country is to be divided
into blocks" approximately fifty
miles square. Rates from all express
stations within one block are the
same to all those in any other given
block. Thus, instead of 10000 900
rates between $4,000 express stations
there will be $50 rates between $50
blocks. This, thint's the Commissi N,
will avoid the great body of com.
| plants arising out of undercharges
! and overcha"geS, the present meth
| cd of stating rates being so confus-
ing that not even the express agents
are able to discover the lawful rate
between two points" A new CLASH
| fication of traffic is ordered and dis.
elimination in favor of large ship
| pers is provided against. Express
carriers must unite in direct through
routes reaching all cities and towns
accessible to each other by the short

Perhaps the most welcome of ali
the devices proposed, remarks the
New York Sun, is the one designed
to prevent double collections. 1t +.
thus described briefly in the course
of the report
"To avoid prosecutions for illegal
overcharges it is essential that dou.
BILE charges shall cease, and to this
end system of labels is herein pre-
scribed-a yellow label which shows

AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT IN
COMING UP.

The principles OF mine taxation.
M derived from experience. have
occupied the attention In recent
years OF several state legislatures IN
the West. says Mining Science. The
question was before the Colorado
assembly two years ago aud will
probably make It's appearance again
next winter as an incident TO the
necessary revision OF the revenue
law. Two years ago the Utah legis-
lature arranged TO submit eonsti-
tutional amendment. which will be
the subject OF vote November 5th.
The proposed section is very clear
In enunciating the principle that
metal bearing land. as such. is not
the real criterion OF taxable value
as applied TO the mining industry,
but leaves the inference that the
proper criterion is the productivity
OF the property.
Experience has pretty generally
led TO the emphasis OF this view,
while II is OF nature 10 give en-
oouragement 10 tho holder OF a
prospect which is In process OF de-
velopment. Some there are who be-
lieye that taxation should be used
TO compel development OF unprodue-
tive ground. but the proposed Utah
amendment will put an end to such
ideas as they may apply 10 that
