PRIZE FIGHTS, GLOVE CONTESTS.

We note that the Deseret News is
pleading with the Governor TO "veto
the bill designed TO legalize prize
fights in this State 1t explains that
the Legislature passed this bill with
out fair consideration and without a
chance for the citizens generally TO
express an opinion. 1t does not seem
to be altogether convinced, however,
IN its own mind that the bill does legal
ize prize fights, even after stating un-
aualifiedly that such is its design. when
it gets down TO the point that IL has
no doubt that the bill Iegalizes prize
fights, and then it wakes hot BY saying
cit is shame to the State Of Utah,
which we cannot afford TO have fast
ened on her fair name.
From its general argument and cita-
tions against the bill the News pro
cecds 10 belabor The salt Lake Trib-
une. apparently with the idea that il
1t can give The Tribune a sufficiently
black eve, that will he an argument
that will appeal to the Governor IN
persuading him to veto the bill In
this connection the News takes pains
to explain that its malignant raid upon
The Tribune is caused by statement
in a local article that the bill is n
popular measure. From that il takes
equal pains to explain that this local
statement "is, of course, n falsehood, y
although giving no evidence OF its as

pains TO claim that the local statement

And, under that same administration.
when there was legislation which eN-
pressly authorized "glove contests,

PRIMARY FAILURE IN ST. LOUIS.

We have referred heretofore to the
recent primary in st, Louis, where can
didates were nominated on a mere frac-
tion Of the party vote, and where no
candidate got anything like a majority
Of even small party vote. Weak can
didates were named in many eases. The
ST. Louis Times stated that ''long and
careful study of the two important
tickets presented TO the voters this
spring reveals nothing more strongly
than the plain fact that the primary
system is failure. Going over the list
it is almost impossible to make a ticket

DEMOCRATIC TARIFF PLANS.


|
| The ultra Democratic plans as set
! forth in dispatch from Washington
yesterday morning will no doubt bc
considerably modified in the course of
posed. We believe that the Democrats
will so modify the tariff as to put wood
| pulp and print paper on the free list.
We think, however, that the PROPOSE
! tion TO put wool on the free list will
necessarily have 20 be modified in the
passage OF the bill through Congress.
We believe, also, that the proposition
TO reduce the tariff on lead 10 a basis
that would prohibit the production OF
lead in all this region. and also TO put
sugar on the free list, will necessarily
be much modified before the revised
tariff bill can pass.
AS we have pointed out. the PROPOSE.
tion by tho Democrats as excmplified
in their passage Of the metal schedule
revision last wear, is based on a com
plcte fallacy when ii undertakes TO
treat the production Of iron aud steel
the production OF zinc aud lead; for
there is not the slightest pretense in
any quarter that the production of zinc
and lead is in any way in the hands
of trust or that the manufacture OF
these metals is a monopoly OF any
lead producers are active, and will pre-
sent their case strongly and well in OPP
position to any proposed material re-
ductlon in the tariff on lead. Since
the production OF zinc and lead can
in no way be complicated with trust or
combination obnoxiousness, there is not
the slightest reason for treating them
on the same basis as metals that are so
connected.
With regard to the putting Of sugar
on the free list, there will be immense
interests that will oppose it. and those
interests will by no means be partisan;
they Will be business and industrial.
Much OF settled business conditions
would nc disturbed, and treaties at

Speaking generally on the tariff

plication of Democratic ideas to the

A DISTINCT DEMO-
CRATIC GAIN

Much less noise was made beforehand
about the special election in the first
congressional district of West Virginia
than concerning the recent contest in the
third Maine district, but it is as fair to
call on as the other an indication of pub
lie feeling toward the national admins
tration. The West Virginia election was
held Tuesday of last week.
The Democratic candidate, NJ. n.
Neely, was elected by more than $500
plurality, the Progressive candidate run
ming third. Last fall the Democratic
candidate was elected by o. plurality.
In 1910 the Democratic nominee, with
10 Progressive in the field was success
full by 3403 plurality. Previous to that
the district had been represented in the
house by Republicans.
Republicans had boasted that they
would wrest this district from the hands
of their opponents this time and the
narrowness of the Democratic victory
last year made it seem not unlikely that
they would do So In any such contest
President Wilson and his administration
we're certain to be principal issue, and
without putting undue emphasis upon
the fact it may with fairness be stated
that the result of Tuesdays ballot is IN
the nature of an Endorsement Of the
Wilson policies. At the very least,
West Virginia furnishes an antidote Tor
Maine. The result in one case is as
significant as in the other.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1913-10-24

of October IL, states that for the first
time in a several years there is an in
crease in building construction through
out the United States, and the following
statistics are made public:
Buildings numbering p ,36l, and of a
total estimated value of s64, ,926,713 are
now under way as compared with 20, 2O4
buildings of a value of sol ,9O1, 24S under
construction at the same date last year.
This is an increase of about per cent
and is well distributed over all sections
o. the country-Portland Maine; Boston
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Cincinnati, De-
troit, Toledo, Pittsburg and Chicago all
showing increased activity as compared
with the construction work of this time
one year ago
Mortgage money in New York is much
easier now than any prior period of the
present year, and that will be conducive
to the greater construction in the metro
polls, as much building work has been
awaiting this loosening up of the loaning
funds.
We have cited above facts as to bust
ness activity that are so well established
that no one can doubt them, and they
must be accepted by the most persistent
pessimist as constituting a powerful and
convincing proof of the increased and
increasing volume and value of business
throughout the Union.
When the railways of the United
States are hauling freights up to the full
capacity of their supply of cars it means
that our farmers, our miners, our manu-
facturers and our merchants are all busy,
and it means also that the purchasing
power of our own people and of the
foreign nations is being exercised in our
country in a most effective way to bring
prosperity to labor in all lines.
This railway freight traffic is exceed
ingly impressive as to the great business
Of the country, and when it is also noted
that building construction is so widely
gaining in number of buildings and also
in aggregate values the proof is absolute
1y conclusive of good times.
Trade depression affects railway traffic
very quickly, and building construction
feels such depression at once. There is
no depression shown by these latest re-
turns; upon the contrary, business is
moving to higher records all over the
republic.

Governor Cox challenge to the Off
GERS of the Ohio Equity Association to
produce proof of their charges that he
was involved in the alleged conspiracy
of Democratic politicians" to thwart a
referendum vote on the Warnes and Kill
patric tax measures, is yet unanswered
further than the insinuations that are
contained in the pamphlet sent out by
the Equity Association But these are
mere insinuations, and it was in answer
to them that the governor issued his chal-
lenge calling for proof.
The Equity Association in the pam
phlet sent out over the state quotes c. C..
Meekinson, auditor of Henry county,
who was found guilty at Cleveland sew
eral days ago, of attempting to burglar
ize the Offices of the Equity Association
and carry away the referendum petitions
on the Warnes and Fitzpatrick laws, as
having told f. H Eckert of Toledo that
the governor knows everything that is
going on, but, of course, he is keeping
away down under cover " and that Fin
ley and Devine, - meaning State Chair
man w. L. Finley, "are originating the
schemes" This is the sort of evidence
with which the Equity Association hopes
to connect up the governor with the at
tempt to defeat referendum vote on
the Warnes and Fitzpatrick laws, when,
as a matter of fact the governor on the
stump in his campaign was a strong adj
vocate of this principle of government.
