ton, for ii seems that in city like
New York there ought to be no such
percentage Of profit as that accruiug
TO the nliddlcmen. The sources of sup-
ply are very accessible in New
York, aud there are almost innumcrable
agencies For that supply. Surely 90
per cent profit to those agencies ought
TO be out of the question. Still, that
is the estimate made by the hotel and
restaurant proprietors; aud if they have
their computation correct, there ought
10 be huge saving to the public in
the cost Of living. If there is not.
it is likoly that the public will call
upon the hotel and restaurant pro-
prietors for an explanation. since IL
those proprictors arc saving so per cent
on their purchases, certainly The Gus
toners ought not TO be blcd on tho 100
per cent basis.

TO KEEP TAB ON JUDGES

The New York State Bar Association
has suggested to the Supreme Court
judges in New York county to have
the clerks Of their courts keep the
records of the work done by each of
the judges. The Supreme Court col
lectively has made the order according
ly, and it is expected that by reason
of this there will be record kept
which will show just what each OF the
judges Of the Supreme Court in that
county viii do.
The action indicated is the result Of
d charge made by some of the lawyers
and some of the Judges also, that GER
tain of the judges do not do as much
work as judges in other counties. In
brief, that they are holding supernu-
merary or loafug places. OF course,
the Judges accused deny this. and they
are keen TO show the critical lawyers
and also other critics OF the court that
they are working fully up TO any fair
standard, and that the records COM
piled by their clerks will show this.

judges do not induce or compel them

FOREIGN TRADE COMPETITION

1t has been a matter Of common
knowledge among those who have paid
any attention to the trade of America
in foreign countries that all sorts of
advantages are taken by rivals. Where
al American trade has been established
by reason Of the trustworthiness and
full supply OF any given article, imita-
tions of that article would be made,
himsy, unsatisfactory, but bearing the
same label or trade mark, and would
be pushed in the foreign market to the
disadvantage Of the American manu-.
facturer and to the ruin Of the repute
OF his goods.
Again, foreign traders would 90 into
the market and by offering long credits
or conforming TO some popularity of
the local situation would get the ad-
vantage over the American goods. An
instance OF this latter is reported by
Consul General w Stanley Hollis, at
Beirut, Asiatic Turkey. In a recent re-
port Mr.. Hollis says:
A business man vino has been import
ing American motors for the last twelve
years stated recently that he believed
there was no longer a market for Amer
lean motors in this part OF the coun-
try.
There was formerly no competition by
English and German manufacturers. but
az present the English are Offering on
the Beirut market motors OF strong con-
struction and OF horsepower equal TO the
American, a prices % per cent less. and
are besides giving long credits and the
opportunity TO test motors fully before
buying. The agent has some American
motors in stock which he has not been
able to dispose OF since the introduction
OF the English product.
II number OF American msnufac-
turers OF motor accessories, such as
pumps, thrashing machines, and oil
presses, would combine with others ham
ding agricultural machinery and imple-
ments and appoint trustworthy tenn
pcrate American OF business and me-
chanical ability as their agent here and
would allow him to sell on credit, they
could undoubtedly do a very good bust
ness here.
Here is plain case where Ameri.
can trade was ruined by frantic busi-
ness rivalry of English and German
manufacturers. Those manufacturers
have cut prices, given long credits. and
have given unusual concessions TO the
buyers of motor machines. And so, as
Mr.. Hollis reports, there is "no longer
a market for American motors In this
part of the country
And set Mr. Hollis makes q sugges-
tion that may redeem the situation;
and il is to be hoped that American
manufacturers OF motors and motor
accessories. as well as Of other ma.
chimes. Will wake up 70 the situation,
nlay up the Beirut market strong, and
recover the advantages they have lost.

HARD ON SPEAKER SEELY.

The Tenth Session of the Utah State
Legislature opened yesterday. and it
opened TO a surprise in the House
The Speaker chosen by the Republican
caucus, voted iuto the chair by the
Republican majority, was stripped Of
the usual prerogatives OF the Speaker
and was humiliated in most e1traordi.
nary degree
few days ago the lower house Of
the State Legislature Of Pennsylvania
elected Representative Alter TO be its
Speaker. and Immediately proceeded to
strip him Of the power of appointinp
the standing and special committees,
and placing the makeup of the COM
mlttees IN the hands Of eleven Repre-
sentatives; four regular Republicans,
four Progressives and three Democrats.
This committee will also distribute the
patronage at the disposal of the House
pro rata among the parties, and draft
the rules. That is great upheaval
for Pennsylvania,
1t is even greater upheava1 for
Utah TO take such revolutionary step
as this, and the Utah House of Rep
resentatives added humiliation by de-
feating Speaker Seely for one of the
committee Of five which is TO name
the standing and special committees.
Speaker Seely naturally would be sup
posed to be a member of that COM
mIttee of five, but ne was beaten by
vote of twenty-five against him to
twenty in his favor This committee
Of five is composed Of two Democrats
and three Republicans. On this com.
mittee OF five Salt Lake county is not

THE TRUTH AND THE NEWS.

In Il recent lecture 10 students of
the Pulitzer School OF journalism at
Columbia University. Miss Ida Tarbell
declared that newspaper editors do not
nowadays twist and distorL the news in
order TO make it harmonious with IN
editorial or business policy. She stated
that whatever there had been formerly
Of this sort Of dishonest practice, is
now abandoned generally, and alto
gcthcr by the reputable newspapers Of
the United States. That policy was
abandoned because Of the better ethical
standards now applied and by the
breaking down Of the bitter prejudice
Of partisan feeling. Most of what
was done in tho past in that direction
was done because Of political partisan
ship. A hidcbound, thick-and thin Re-
publican or Democratic newspaper
would at times seek to color the news
of the day so as TO suit its political
opinion. But that sort Of thing caused
so much cmbarras led to so much
opprobium from the subscribers Of the
paper and from the public, that the
newspapers found that il would not do
and abandoned the practice. Readers
of even the most hidebound papers
wanted to get the actual news, and
wanted tho unbiased facts. They did
not want to be misled by the news
papers they read, even though those
newspapers were their party organs.
And so through sheer self-protection the
newspapers guilty Of that dishonest
practice had 10 give it up, and quit
doctoring' the news for political pur-
poses.
In the long run, newspaper that
undertakes 10 twist the news into any
political channel, newspaper that will
print news favorable TO its own party
may be unfavorable or antagouistic to
its own opinions or hopes, is a news
paper that quickly come to be dis
trusted in the community, and is con
demned by public opinion everywhere.
In Utah the most fragrant offender
against this rule OF honesty and news
paper ethics is, Of course, the Smoot |
organ Of this city. During the recent |
compaign it was repeatedly convicted
Of suppressing news unPavorable to its |
opinions, of twisting facts and news
out of their proper connection, so as
to make an apparent showing in its |
own partisan favor, 1t has been Justly |
condemned even by its own partsans
for its unfairness, its dishonesty, and |
its INSCRIPTIONS, scandalous deceit. All |
this was in full evidence during the |
campaign, but not more so than it's un-
scrupuIous and vicious attacks upon
reputable people who happened TO dis
agree with its vicious policies. And so
the Smoot organ is the most fragrant |
violator Of the amended rule Of honesty
and ethics that so generally prevails in
American journalism.

COOPERATIVE PURCHASING.

The cooperative idea of making
purchases is said TO have taken hold in
New York in practical form among
the hotel and restaurant proprietors.
Some fifty of these have begun the
organization OF a food buying combine,
1t is stated that fully one thousand
hotel and restaurant proprietors are iu-
terested in the move and viii Join the
organization,
The proposition is 10 have purchas-
ing agents, who will buy the food sup
plies for all Of the hotels and
restaurants, and will distribute these
supplies on requisition TO all at cost
prices. The proprietors expect to save
fully so per cent on supplies by this CO.
operative method.
There does not seem TO be. on the
other hand, however, any disposition to
give the customers any benefit from
this 30 per cent saving. On the con-
troTy, the hotels and restaurants are
charging separately for butter, for
bread, and for all the little accessories
which used TO be thrown in with the
meal without reckoning on every item.
Perhaps when the plan gets into full
working order, the customers may have
restored to them those little aeccs-
sories which heretofore have been pro-
vided without saying anything about a
specific charge for them.
The estimated saving OF 30 per cent
NAV be somewhat excessive computa.

ARCHIBALD FOUND GUILTY.

The L. s Senate, after complete
hearing. finds that Judge Robert w :.
Archibald Of the Court Of Commerce
was guilty of using his Office as q Judge
TO persuade the Eric Railroad Company
to give TO him and T.. i. Williams OF
Scranton an option on q culm dump at
Il price 100000 less than its real val.
uc, also, that in other deals he used
his Office to make money for himself
and his friends. The Senate was al
most unanimous in convicting Archibald
on the first count, and the vote on
conviction was Affirmative on the third
fourth, fifth, and thirteenth counts, as
we'll as on the first.
There was not much chance for the
Senate TO do anything else than CON
vict Judge Archibald, for he admitted
the facts stated in the accusations
brought by the House. There remained,
therefore. for the Senate only TO dc.
,ermine whether it was wrong for a
judge to prostitute his Office TO the
profit of himself and his partners in
such deals as were charged. As to
that, there could hardly be much differ.
eucc Of opinion; and it is curious 10
sec that even so many as Eve Senators
voted to excuipstc Archibald on the
first count. which involved the Erie
culm dump deal
II is not, of course, to be supposed
that the L. S. Senate was actuatcd
in any degree whatever by the popular
clamor against courts and Judges, and
the uproar for recall. impeachment is,
of course, form of recall, but entirely
different from the recall of Judges as
commonly proposed.
In our judgment, the Senate could not
possibly, with any sort of dccencv, have
e1culpated Judge Archibald on the
charges as made. The House Of Rep.
rcsentativcs was practically unanimous
in voting the sufiicicncy Of the charges
The Senate came near being unanimous
in convicting, and the country will be
absolutely unanimous in approving the
proceedings throughout
