THE ROOSEVELT IMPUDENcE.

Col. Roosevelt must imagine that the
people of the United States do not re-
member from day to day those things
which are of current information. In
his speech at st. Johpsbury, Vermont,
he made a plea that he had been at
tackled by Senator Penrose and by the
STANDARD Oil interests. AS matter OF
fact. he himself has been attacking
Senator Penrose right along, stigmatlz-
ing him as boodler, corruptionlst, and
the worst type of American citizen.
Senator Peurose was merely defending
himself against the Roosevelt attacks
when he said what he did, and there
can not be any doubt that Senator rem
rose fairly proved his case.
The vindictiyeness shown by Colonel
Roosevelt against the Standard Oil
COMPANY dates undoubtedly from the
time when the directors OF that COM
pany refused to put up the additional
$3.50 900, which Treasurer Bliss of the
National Republican Committee, ad-
vised them to put up during the politl'
caI campaign of 1904. From that Pc
riod Col. Roosevelt has considered the
Standard Oil a bad trust, and has been
continuous in his vindictive aDlmosity
against it, He announces now that he
has the Standard Oil ION the hip. III
is difficult to see, however, how nc has
the Standard Oil on the hip, or how he
can get any grip upon that concern now
that IL has been dissolved as a6unifled
corporation. The Supreme Court Of the
United States has not only decrced the
dissolution of the Standard Oil trust,
but has approved the manner Of Its dis
solution. Col. Roosevelt, therefore, is
talking empty air when he talks about
having the STANDARD Oil Company on
the hip. There is no possible way for
him to get any grip upon the Standard
Oil in it's present condition.
In his attack upon President Taft as
playinr into the hands of the corpora
tions, Colonel Roosevelt was guilty OF
sheer dishonesty. 1t is absolutely true
as the veteran former Senator Ed
munds of Vermont, stated, that it is
only under President Taft's admins
tration that there has beep any honest
or definite attempt to enforce the Sber-
man antitrust law. Under President
Cleveland. under President Mckinley,
under President Roosevelt, there was
nothing done Of any consequence by
way Of enforcing that law. Nothing
whatever was done by either President

A RIGHT AND USEFUL WORD.

There are always those who are dis
posed to conservatism in any direction
which might be proposed, and this ap'
plies to the progressive development of
the English language as we'll as in other
directions. This conservation, as applied
to the reception of new words IN our
language, we find in the New York
Globe, voiced in little editorial on
the word "demote, which says:
Nearly all newspapers are guilty. Not
even the Globe Itself Is Innocent But
why do they do it? Why have they In,
vented, or where did they ma, the "oro
"demote?"
Il is not in Murray's Oxford diction-
ary. 1t Is not In the Century; But before
long 1t will be part OF the English Ian
guage. a little while ago II was as
strange to see or hear as. ''prograde"
would be today.
Perhaps the explanation is that no real
word filled quito the place that "demote"
now occupies as its own. 1t is milderr:
less reproachful term than degrade, ,
Whether one likes 1t or not, the new word
Is likely to grow demotic,
The word "demote" has been used
in the schools of the various parts Of
this country for great many years in
the opposite sense to the word 'pro~
mote" A pupil, in place OF being pro-
NOTED, is denoted; that is, in place Of
being set forward in his classes he is
set back. 1t is perfectly good word,
although those who make point of con-
sidering themselves purists object to it,
just as they have In times past objected
to many of the best and most vital
words in the language.
The extension of the use of the word
"demote' into general writing in place
of confining it especially to schools
where it has been mostly used hereto
fore, is perfectly legitimate way of IN.
guage It's formation is regular, quite
as much SO as the formation Of the word
"promote. Besides, its root value has
been recognized even among the most
strict, in the word fdemotic,' which
names the simplifed or popular form of
the hieratic alphabet of ancient Egypt;
that is, this hjeratic alphabet was ode
NOTED" to the popular use, and the
word "demotic" described this popular
form Of the higher-class alphabet. The
word "demote" must necessarily have
been in the minds of those who framed
the word demotic,' since precisely the
Same root value enters into both words
The Globe says that the word "de-
mote" is not in Murray's Oxford die
tionary nor in the Century. That shows
that the Murray work aud the Century
work are too much in the hands of those
who wish to resist new words, even
though they are quite proper aud regu-
lar in formation, this resistance in sub
mission to the demand of those who
want the language to stand still. Other
dictionaries have it; Webster's New In
tcrnational Dictionary gives it in regu.
lar form and course with it's proper def
inition. The Standard Dictionary does
the same; and any dictionary which re-
Jects the word "demote is by that
much defective.

CONFESSION AND AVOIDANCE.

In discussing political probabilities
in Utah this year, and the likelihood OF
ecclesiastical interference, some say
ing that it would be made and others
not, The Tribune concluded: "We
know, however, how hard it is for the
ecclesiasticism which has dominated
always, TO remain quiet Thereupon
the Desaret News, the church organ,
emits the following:

The firmness of the metal markets
during the past week is easily the fea-
ture of this important industry. Cop
per has sold freely for several days at
l7N cents per pound for October and
even later delivery. while some of the
selling agencies are reported to have
refused this price for the years end
delivery, The copper outlook is ex-
tremely bright, and the increased pro-
ductiou from the refinerles is deemed
necessary to prevent anything like un-
wise market ranges TO the red metal.
The price Of lead was advanced twice
during the past week, the metal closing
in New York at $4.70@4.S0 per hun
dred pounds. The local settling price
for lead will doubtless be advanced this
week, meaning a material increase to
earnings Of Utah producers. Authorities
agree that the available supplies Of
lead are limited, and that An advance
to figures beyond what they now hold
is logically to be expected as result.
Silver and spe1ter also have retained
their firmness in decidedly crafty
Il
ing manner, and the Utah producer has
seldom had the advantage Of such gen
orally firm metal ranges and satlsfac-
tory smelling facilities as now exist.
Despite the good earnings and unpre-
cedented metal production of the State
and West generally, the stock markets
are extremely hstless and unsatisfac-
tory from all standpoints. 1t would
