A BELATED DENIAL.

Last December story was printed
in New York to the effect that (then)
President Roosevelt intervened be.
tween Russia and Japan to stop the
war then raging between those pow.
ers, because he was asked to do so in
a letter he had received from the EN-
peror Of Japan. The Colonel took no
notice of this publication until now.

make the denial before because he
didn't suppose that anybody would be.

But why, if that is so, should he
now denyf Is there any more reason
to suppose now that the story would
be believed than heretcforeq Is it not
n fact that the story as told was re.
ceived In Japan, and that Col. Roose-
yelt has been emi-officially asked bv
Japanese authorities to deny the story7
There has been just about time since
the publication of the story for il to

SUTHERLAND VS.. sMooT.

We are sure that the people of Utah
who saw the invidious comparison made
by the Smoot organ in favor of Suth-
erland and against Smoot with respect
to supporting the President in his veto
of the Webb liquor law, wondered at
that comparison. This law seeks to
prevent the Shipment of liquors into
"dry.' President Taft vetoed the bill
because he held 1T to be unconstitu-
tional; and he is firm in his position
that every Senator and every Represen-
tative, as well as the President, ought
to act conscientiously and fairly, on his
own judgment, and not pass a question
Of this kind up to the Supreme Court
for final judgment, if such Senator,
Representative or the President be.
lieves that the law is unconstitutional
1t is not fair to the court, President
Taft argues, to burden it with cases
where the executive and legislative of
fices Of the Government believe that
the Constitution is being invaded
Senator Sutherland voted against the
passage Of the law over the Presi~
dent IS veto, He had before that OPP
posed the law in very long and ram
bling speech, which, in spite of its YER
bosity. came to the same conclusion
that President Taft arrived at, sup
ported by Attorney General Wicker
sham. Smoot voted against the bill in
the first place, and is said to have
written to minister in Ogden that
he believed the bill to be unconstitu-
tional and therefore felt obliged to on.
pose it. And yet when it came to the
question Of passing the bill over the
veto, Smoot voted to pass the bill over
the veto, while believing it to be uncof-
stitutional. Sutherland voted against the
bill and against overriding the veto,
because of his opinion that it is un.
constitutional.
The Smoot organ in this division of
sentiment takes sides with Sutherland,
and praises his speech beyond all meas
ure and reason. But in praising that
speech and lauding Sutherland so
highly on this point it necessarily fol-
lows that it must censure Smoot, since
Smoot did precisely the opposite to
what Sutherland did. Now, why is
this? Why does the Smoot organ CEN
sure Smoot and praise Sutherland. Is
1T bit of malignant strategy, with
view after Bit Of knitting Sutherland,
and so maintaining unswervingly its OBJ
ligatory allegiance to Smoot? This is
that needs to be cleared up.
and the public will await developments
or explanations.

THE CALIFORNIA TANGLE.

There seems to be some difference
of opinion between Attorney General
Wickersham and the officials of the
Hartman railroad system. as to the eff.
feet Of the refusal of the California
Railroad Commission to agree to the
settlement consented to by the At
torney-General in the uumergine of the
Union Pacific and the Southern Pa
clflc railroad interests. Mr.. Krutt
schnitt is quoted as saying that the
plan OF unmerging will have to be
abandoned. a Attorney General Wicker.
sham says there is no need of this
that the opposition in California is
merely local, and cannot affect the
general unmerging plan.
The probability is that Attorney
General Wickersham is right on this
question, because he knows better than
the railroad officials could possibly do,
the effect of the order of the Supreme
Court, and the steps that are legally
necessary to give practical results to
that decision
II IT is true, as the California con.
tention is, that an authority in a State
can interfere with and nullify decis-
ion of the u. S. Sepreme Court and
prevent the taking of the steps that
are held legally to he necessary for
the carrying out of that decision. then
we have a new sample of State rights
in defiance of the Federal Government.
that NAV have to be threshed ont in
the courts. as some other State rights
notions have been threshed out. In
the end, however, there can be little
doubt but that the State will have 10
give way TO the National authority:
and we trust that the railroad com.
panles will stand pat on the decision
and call upon the Federal Government
to enforce the judgment of the Su-
preme Court and compel submission TO
the steps decrecd necessary to give
effect to that decision.

which it falsely charges upon The
Tribune
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

The old control in National affairs,
both executive and legislative, gives
way today to the new, this in obedi-
ence to the mandate of the people eX-
pressed AT the election last November,
The policies of the party which goes
into power today arc in some respects
radically different from the policies of
! the party that goes ont of control. And
yet it is not likely that any radical en-
| forcemcnt OF antagonistic policies VIII
be undertaken in such Il way as to i'm
! pede the prosperity of the country and
bring on such paralysis as was
brought on when President Cleveland
was elected for his second term, with
the full determination to reverse and
change the former policies as much as
possible.
That lesson of disaster has not been
lost upon the Democrats, and we do rot
find any demand now such as was
prominent then for the immediate
wedding out of old policies and prin-
ciples and the substitution of new. The
Democrats learned the lesson that vio-
lent changes are destructive, and that
no matter how well meant those
changes may be, the fact remains that
it is necessary to proceed with eau
tion, and gradually, in order to effect
changes, unless those making these
changes are prepared to face the de-
struction which they may bring upon
the country.
President Wilson has been emphatic
in stating that he will not approve any
violent or radical changes such as
would interfere with the present busi-
ness prosperity, and the Democratic
leaders in the House are announced to
be in accord with the Presidents pol
icy in this matter. We are therefore
warranted in expecting that such
changes as are to bo made in the
tariff and in government policies gen
orally, will not be startling or destruc-
tive, but will be cautions and will tend
so far as possible to conserve the pres.
ent prosperous business conditions.
President Wilson deserves the cam
did and fair support Of the people of |
the United States in his administra.
ton, so long as he does nothing to for.
felt the claim which every President
has upon the united support of the peo-
pie. The voters of the whole country
have their opportunity in the election
Of q President, and when they make
their selection it is the duty of the mi

and give effective and loyal
support to the new administration.

INTELLIGENT EXPENDITURE.

Senator Newlands of Nevada has in
duced the u. S. Senate in its expiring
hours to take vote that carries with
il good sense and that it is hoped may
prove a working precedent. The Ne
vada Senator holds that the methods
of appropriating money for the i'm
provement of rivers and harbors has
been utterly unscientific, wasteful, and
scandalous Under the pressure of his
sound sense and importantly he has in
duced the Senate to vote to discontinue
the present system Of grabbag legisla-
tion for rivers and harbors, and to vote
lump sum where any appropriation
at all is made, and leave the applica-
ton of the money to expert river and
harbor commissioners.
The practice heretofore has been
that Senators and Representatives
work for local appropriations in their
States or districts, without much re.
undertaken. The main thing is to have
Federal money applied locally for the
benefit of business and the employment
Of labor. Senator Newlands sees the
futility of all this, and looking over
the vast appropriations that have been
made from time to time and undertak-
ing TO check up the beneficial results
therefrom, he finds that the country
has practically wasted most of the
money that has been put into projects
Of that kind
Senator Newlands would establish
general scheme Of river improvement.
and would stop all the scattered, de-
tailed appropriations that have no rela-
tion TO the general system of water
way improvements. Under his plan
there would be definite propositions
worked out in a scientific way, and
the money appropriated would be ap-
piled where results would come. and
where the general river systems Of the
country would be correlated, and the
navigation made practical for anv
given river system. First of all, the
main rivers would be attended to, and
then the tributaries so far as they are
capable Of being made navigable.
We are glad to see that the Senate
had the good sense to vote for the
Newlands proposition. That is precisely
what The Tribune has been working

for for many years; and il the Sen,
ate will now stick 10 it's declared pur.
pose. we may hope to have a system
of water navigation that will be OF real
benefit TO the country at large, in
place of being merely of political bene-
fit to local schemcrs who ride into pop
ularitv by reason Of the amount OF
Federal money that they can have
spent in their localities. Senator New
lands certainly deserves well Of his
country for pushing his waterway
proposition as he has done, and getting
the Senate TO agree with him on scien-
tific and well planned expenditures for
river improvements.

was getting everything by concessions
from Spain that it could possibly hope

THE POLITICAL JOB BILL.

There is one feature of the proposed
political job bill which would change
the form of the municipal commission
/ in cities Of the first and second classes
that has not been sufficiently attend,
cd to thus far, and deserves further
! consideration.
This bill. as we have pointed out,
localizes the commission, while giving
| the commissioners representing the
wards general jurisdiction over the
city in an administrative capacity. At
present the commissioners are elected
from the city at large, and it is quite
appropriate that the division Of the
different departmental functions for
the city at large should be apportioned
among the commissioners. But to elect
commissioners by separate wards and
give them general administrative jur-
isdiction over the city would indeed
be something unheard Of heretofore,
and absolutely illogical and destructive
of all reasonable ideas of popular rule
and administration The idea Of eloct-
ing a commissioner from the Third
ward, let us say and giving him juris'
diction over the water of the whole
city is an absurdity in administrative
practice The only possible defense
for giving any official administrative
jurisdiction over the whole city is that
he shall be elected by the city at
large. To say that commissioner
elected In one ward must have juris-
dcton over all the other wards is
forcing upon those other wards out
side jurisdiction and depriving them
Of their proper votes in their own pub
lie affairs.
The argument that by allowing each
ward to elect commissioner the gov
ernment is brought closer to the peo-
pie is not true, in view of the fact
that the people all unite at present
in the election of the commissioners;
and it certainly does not bring popular
rule close to the inhabitants of the
Second ward, for instance, to have the
Third ward, elect a commissioner that
will have jurisdiction over the Second
ward 3 water system, while the people
of the Second ward, and all the other
wards, have nothing to say about the
election Of that commissioner. So far
from bringing the election closer to
the people, it absolutely removes jur-
isdiction of the people at large over
four-fifths Of the commissioners. That
is to say, when one ward elects a com
missioner who will have charge OF the
of a definite division
of the general city government, the
other four wards are absolutely dis
franchised as to their voice in that di-
vision of the city's administration.
To say that il the proposed law may
be bad or unsatisfactory it can be re.
peaIed, insults the intelligence. We |
know it is bad, to begin with. We do |
not need any experience in the evil |
Of legislation like that TO
know that it is bad, and we do not
need to experience its badness in order
10 find out whether we would want |
such law repealed or not. it is an
absolutely sure thing to begin with that
he people would want a law Of that
sind repealed right away as soon as
hey found out how it worked; SO why
pass it when we can so plainly see its
evil nature7

The determination of certain inter
ests In Mexico to embroil the United
States with Mexico was again shown
and more distinctly than ever, in a
party of Mexican troops firing across
the line at Douglas, Arizona, upon
American officers. But that attacking
party got such punishment that the sg-
gressiou is not likely to be repeated
while the incident can hardly make any
serious complications.
