A LoW.ToNE DEBATE.

The debate in the Senate On Thurs.
day over the Constitutional amendment
which proposes to forbid the re election
OF President, was on decidedly a low
plane, The proposition to have the
amendment 80 drawn as to efface Ger.
tain persons was in itself q petty piece
Of business. The proposition to exclude
Col. Roosevelt, Mr.. Taft, or Mr.. vii.
son was evidently 30 malignant that
there was small support for either
branch Of it, The absurd proposition
Of Bristow for the recall of the Presi
dent had such small support that one
would suppose he would be ashamed Of
offering such miserable proposition.
a surprise Of the day and one which
tended to lift the debate above the pet
tiness, was where Senator Borah de-
Tended President Taft and where he
rebuked Senator Hitchcock for suggest
ing that the reason why Roosevelt ia
vored Taft in 1908 was go that he him
self might be a candidate in 1912. The
statement of Senator Borah, "I know
the Senator himself does not entertain
such thought, so ! feel free TO saw that
such an idea is the product of a dis
eased mind was fit reply TO that
sort OF mean insinuation
The proposition that the American
people ought TO be free to choose their
own President and TO re.elect a Presi-
dent when they saw fit 20 do so. has
been an accepted principle in this coun.
try from the first, but this was accom-.
panied by a weIl-defincd tradition and
sentiment that no President should have
more than two terms. There was in
iccted into last wears Presidential cam

that 4 man might not ouly he elected
President three times. but be reelected
indefinitely TO the Presidential office.
and 4 candidate actually presented him
self for reelection IN defiance or con.
tempt OF that snti.third term tradition
and IN revolt against his own former
declared support OF that tradition.
And so. since the bars were being

SHOULD REDEEM THE PLEDGE.

Tho Republican party in the State
of Utah, IN its platform of 1910. pledged
the legislature to ratify the income
tax amendment TO the Federal Consti-
tuition. So far from carrying out this
pledge to the people, the legislature
then elected betrayed that pledge, and
refused tho ratification which the
party promised the people TO make.
One house of the legislature ratified.
the other refused. The effect was re-
lection.
But refusal 10 ratify an amend
ment TO the Federal Constitution is
not conclusive, The State, after re.
fuang or neglccting to ratify, may
still come into line and pass a reso-
luton ratifying tho amendment. There

ture or Utah owes it to the public. to

That was the occasion for the de
bate in the Senate. But it was untor.

is to be hoped that the proposed amend

general proposition that the safety and

in the Constitution and enforced as

public men, is the large question that
the proposed amendment brings up.

INTEREST ON PUBLIC MONEY,

| We are glad to see that State Treas
urer Jesse D. Jewkes has found a way
to get fair rate OF interest on depos.
its of State money, as narrated eIclu.
sively in yesterday mornings Trib-
une. This will settle for good and all
a contention that was raised during
the campaign of last year. and will
make entirely unnecessary the inquiry
which has been proposed in the legisla.
tnre as to the disposal OF the public
| moneys
lt was held by some that an amend
ment to the State Constitution was
necessary in order to secure to the
state treasury the interest which ought
to be paid for deposits Of State money.
This was evidently mistake. ms The
Tribune pointed out. since the city ad-
mlnlstration OF Salt Lake City was
aole to make contract with bankers
to get two per cent interest on the
dally balances of city money in the
bank. The proposed amendment was
dangerous in that il might have re-
leased the State Treasurer on his bond
If the money we're taken out OF bis pos.
session.
But now Mr.. Jewkes shows fully. and
IN a business-hke way, that no amend
ment TO tho Constitution was necos.
sary. and that he is acting ia the pub.
He interest by obtaining interest on
the public money that the proposed
amendment TO the Constitution had in
view.
And now that the matter of interest
on the public money as arranged for
so easily by Mr.. Jewkes, showing that
there was no need OF Constitutional
amendment with the pcrils attaching
thereto what Of the past7 Mr.. Jewkes $ |
statement IS that the banks have saved |
the people money on various accounts
that may amount in part TO an offset |
on the interest. Still, he reckons that |

inng like 100000 year. Surely this

'tantial addition to the revenue of the
state, and II is very likely that Mr..
Jewkes 8 estimate may be shown to be
90 conservative on this point But
nd any one get return on deposits OF
state money in past years7
Still, the main question is the settle
nent of the principle involved. and Mr..
ewkes's candid and fairly reasoned
tatement shows that the whole matter
in process Of satisfactory settle
nent. In the course OF few years the |,
tate will be able TO know preciseI,

THE EXCLUSION OF CASTRO.

We do not believe that the genera
sentiment of the American public viii
support the finding made by the immi
grafton officers, and confirmed by Sec
retary Nagel, against the admission OF
Castro to this country. As explained
| Secretary Nagel denied admission tc
| Castro on the ground that his declina
tion to answer may in itself consti
tutc an admission Of the commission OF
a felony The immigration law bars
from entry any persons convicted OF
or admitting the commission Of crime
involving moral turpitude, providing il
is not purely a political offense- Sec
retary Nagel held that the murder OF
Paradez was not purely n political
crime, and that Castro, by not denying
completely in or responsibility for that
murder may be considered as ad-
mitting his completely in it, The
Secretary further held, that as an alien
is compelled under the law to answer
Eyes y or mo- TO any pertinent ques-
tion regarding his admissibility, and
since Castro refused to do this, that
also Is a reason for his exclusion. for,
as the Secretary says, if an applicant
for admission may refuse TO answer
categorically such questions as may be
put to him the immigration service
might just as well ADJOURN
This latter proposition, however, is
a mixed proposition, for in refusing to
answer certain questions by the words
yes or Hno' a person might mere
ly be protecting his rights. If, for in
stance, Castro was asked why he par
ticipated in the murder Of Paradez, he
surely could not answer that question
either by eyes or ''no, and many
questions NAV be SO framed that an
answer by either of those monosylla ables
might give an utterly uufriendly i'm
preston.
The leading principle which Secretary
Nagel relies upon in his exclusion of
Castro, that his refusal to answer 'as
to the murder of ParadeZ may in itself
be construed as an admission of guilt
IN that connection, is surely q wrong
a pphcation Of the law; for in regard TO
the matter Of criminalty one accused,
standing mute. cannot be held for that
reason TO admit his guilt. The courts
apply the rule in precisely the contrary
way; for the prisoner standing mute is
held always to plead not guilty. No
court anywhere within the exercise of
The principles of Jurisprudence which
we cherish, has ever taken the position
that refusal to plead or to answer as
TO question of guilt is an admission
OF guilt.
1t seems clear, therefore that when
Castro takes his case into the Federal
Courts, as he threatens to do, he will be
practically certain to secure a reversal
Of the order of the immigration com
nissioners which was approved by Sec.
retarv Nagel; for the reasons urged by
Secretary Nagel are so repugnant to
conceptions and principles
hat their admissibllity in the court in
his or any other case would seem 10
DC impossible. Besides, on the general
question. why should any one care
whether Castro comes into the United
states or not?

TAFT A GOOD LOSER.

! President Taft is winning golden
opinions everywhere on the equanimlty
and good nature with which he ac-
cepted defeat. His speeches since the
| election have shown not one trace OF
bitterness, not one vindictive word
has appeared in them. lie has found
no fault with the electorate for de.
! feating MIN so severely, he has not
in any way indicated disappointment,
indignation, or intimatcd that the pub
lie has used him badly. as in fact it
did.
Harper Weekly was a straigbtfor
ward opponent of President Taft. on
principle. That paper was the earliest
out and out supporter Of President-clect
Wilson. and in spite of the rebuff
which Mr.. Wilson gave to Colonel Har
verv. editor OF Harper Weekly. that
paper continued its support OF him in
the heartiest and most effective man.
ucr. Bat that support Of Mr.. Wilson
did not bring forth any assaults upon
President Taft. for Harper's Weekly
has treated President Taft fairly all
through; and now that the contest is
all over and President Taft has shown
the same cquanimitv of disoosit ON, Tho
same calmness Of miud. has given the
same sound discussions of public aues.
