NEWSPAPERS ARE BLAMED
Roosevelt Shooting Grows Out of

New York, Oct 16.-Mayor Gay
nor yesterday used the attempt on
the life of Col Roosevelt as an &C.
casion for again attacking certain
newspapers. He said that the as
sassination of the characters of pub
lie men was naturally followed by
the assassination of their bodies
(which kind of assassins is the
worse?" he asked in statement
which reads as follows
THE attempt to kill Mr.. Roosevelt
is deplorable. 1t is another proof
Of very unhealthy condition among
us, If allowed to continue, it will re-
suit in general decentralization and
lack of moral control The presis-

A SPLENDID GIFT

The village of Bennington is fortu-
nate in being enabled to accept gift
of an established water system, such
as Henry w. Putnam, one of the lead
ing citizens of the place, proposes TO
deed to the corporation. Most Yer
mont communities have been forced
to purchase their municipal water
systems at prices which were well up
10 the value of the plants; and be-
cause of that expenditure the munich
pal systems have been costly neces-
stiles, and in many cases the NUM-
cipalities are still saddled with debt
on account of it. Therefore, for Ben
nington to step into ownership OF a
system, which is rated to be worth
between quarter and half million
dollars, is extreme good fortune.
Moreover, ii Is to be presumed that
the Bennington water system is a pay
ing venture because of the large de-
mand for water, so that the village
corporation is assured of a good in

The people of Barre are in a posi-
ton to appreciate the value of Mr..
Putnam's gift to a greater extent
than any other community in the
state. The original water system in
Barre was owned by corporation
After years of agitation the city pur-
chased the system at good stiff
price and was almost Immediately
compelled to build an expensive addi
ton to supply the increasing demand
for water. The purchase and the ex.
tension necessltated a heavy issue OF
bonds.

A STATE FAIR SUGGESTION.

We note that at the Ohio State Fair
this year, there is a new feature which
ought TO be, and undoubtedly will be,
Of high educational value TO the bows
Of that State. and which is we'll
WORTHY of being followed in all
the States. We suggest it for the bene-
fit of the Utah State Fair which is to
be held the first week in October.
There is plenty Of time TO put the plan
into effect the present year. and we
suggest to the officials OF the State
Fair that they proceed on the lines to
be indicated without delay.
The Ohio plan is TO have at the State
Fair two bows from each of the SIS
counties OF that State, or l76 in all.
These BOYS will be given full week
at the Fair, with ali expenses paid by
the State, iu return for four hours
daily light work in cleaning up the
campus and fair grounds. and serving
as messengers. These boys are selected
from their various counties from BOYS
entered in the corn raising contests. or
any other agricultural contest. or boys
clubs for agricultural purposes, that
may be organized.
The work Of the bows at the fair is
TO be made educational as well AS in
the nature Of An outing ana an en-
joyablc visit to the fair. Governor Har.
| mon is TO give talks 10 the BOYS at
their camp, and thev viii live under

GOVERNOR JoHNsoN's SPEECH

The speech Of Governor Johnson, de
hvered in this city at the Salt Lake
theater on Wednesday night. contained
in it nothing new, There was simply
the same old impudent and exclusive
claims for the possession of good pur.
pose which in fact pretty much every
body possesses. and the same old claim
of peculiar honesty. which is not in the
least peculiar 10 the Roosevelt faction
Indeed. so far as political honesty is
concerned, Governor johnson is himself
conspicuous example of the very re-
verse. in his determination to make the
Republican Organization, the Repub-
lican embems, and the Republican
name in California serve the Roosevelt
candidacy. which is not Republican at
all This stealing Of the Republican
organization in California for the bene-
fit Of Roosevelt is distinctly the sort
Of political brigandase and thievery
which Roosevelt takes so much delight
in denouncing, but which he smiles
upon when turned to his own advan-
tage. 1t disfranchises all the Taft men
in California in so far as ii can be car.
ricd into effect II would have done
the same thing in Kansas, but we are
glad to see that steps are being taken
there to allow the Republicans TO yVs.

publican Presidential candidate. II
Governor Johnson is successful in car.
rylng through his political thieverY in
California, he will simply disfranchise
all the Taft men in that State, And
this in the name of "honest politics! -
For the rest of it, the speech of Gov
ernor Johnson was simply tauntiug
fling at the Republican party. and at
Republicans and at the Republican
leaders. There was absolutely nothing
substantial in II. and he stands before
the country as man who. crying out
for political honesty is engaged in the

THE LAWYERS IN CONVENTION.

The lawyers, in their National con-
vention at Milwaukee, are severe upon
the proposition for the recall of judges,
and especially severe upon the idiotic
proposition for the recall OF judicial
decisions.
. It is entirely natural that the law
vers should take that view. They are
qualified, by reason Of their study and
practice Of the law, to know that 1t is
impossible for the average man who
has made no study of the law, 10 have
any real comprehension Of the princi-
pies of judicial decision, or the rea-
sons which actuate a Judge In his study
of legal problems. and the determine
ton Of those problems as affecting the
case before him. On large lines there
is. of course. a relief from any decision
of any court which the people find
fundamentally and broadly wrong, as
the Dred Scott decision, by Chief JUS
tice Taney of the United States Su-
preme court, which the people in their
might not only reversed, but they took
awav all possible opportunity for any
such decision ever 10 be promulgated
again.

omitted also all reference to the huge

call for condemnation.
1t is idle to excuipate men from all
wrongdoing, or handling of public

moneys are handled; nor is il possible
to forget the $500 steal in the publica.
tion Of the delinquent tax list in this
county upwards of two years ago. The
basis upon which that padded charge
was made was entirely unknown TO the
law, and it cost the taxpayers some
$4,000 in excess of the rightful charge,
for the purpose OF sustaining the ring
organ, The county attorney who was
prosecuting the grafters in that case
was defeated for denomination two
years ago, for no other reason than
that he persisted in proceeding with
that prosecution.
In view of these facts, and others
which might easily be cited, while we,
commend President Morris for his dis,
position to be charitable, we cannot
consent that his bill of clearance shall

THE PRESIDENT ON NICARAGUA

We are glad To see that President
Taft places the responsibility for the
Nicaraguan disturbances on tho United
states Senate. precisely "a The Salt
Lake Tribune did, in AN editorial last
Saturday. The dispatches quote Prcsi-
dent Taft as saying, and friend re
pcating:
II tho Senate had agreed 10 the pro-
posed treaty with Nlcaragu which he
advocated on his long trip last Fan. the
misery existing today would not have
arisen. Under the treaty the United

tho customs of Nicaragua, hUt since the
customs were about The only source rt
revenue, there would have n.cn little
10 attract tho reNoluilcnist, who would
not have cared to attack tho United
States,
The Tribune, in the editorial referred
to. took precisely the same grounds. In
citing the fact that the United States
administers the customs and revenues
faction OF all concerned and especially
the creditors. we referred 10 the uuwis-
dom Of the United States Senate in re-
fusng to ratify the treaty with Nicars-
qua, which provided for the same ad-
ministration of the customs and rev,
enue of Nicaragua that we are making
in Santo Domingo, and concluded by
saying: CAT bottom Therefore, we con-
slider that the Senate of the United
States is really responsible for the pres
ent disorders in Nicaragua.
A year ago we made special plea TO
the Senate to ratifv this Nicaraguan
treaty, and our plea was used In Off
cial circles in support of that treaty,
but the Senate. weakly yielding TO the
clamor against 'dollar diplomacy,
refused TO ratify, with the result that
we pointed out in laying the blame di-
rectly at the door Of the United States
Senate. precisely as President Taft now
does
Naturally we feel 2ratified to see
the President so sQuarely adopt the
same line of thought that we had given
expression to nearly week before. The
President expressed the idea exactly
and laid the blame precisely where we
had already laid it; and the best of II
lust as we stated it, and as President
Taft reiterated the statement. The
Senate of the United Staes is unques
tionably to blame in this whole mat
ter, and the impudence Of Senators wht
were instrumental in defeating thai
