Gives Absolute Limit.

After giving these figures the speaker
was closely questioned by a number Of
the members IN regard to various meth
DDS Of raising this extra money 70 pay
for Utah stone. He replied TO ell their
questions and finally said:
Gentlemen. we have gone thoroughly
over every possible way and find wo are

Mr.. Barnes told his audience that he
believed that the various resolutions
passed by the Manusa cturers Association
OF Utah. the Native Sons OF Utah, the
Rotary club and the Commercial club
had thrown out q wrong impression and
had hurt the capitol commission mem
bers by making people IN general think
that these members were traitors to their
stRte. He expressed surprise that these

sure none OF them had been given the

This did not suit Mr.. Stimson and
his friends and after a long debate
they carried small majority Of the
conferees with them. The resolution
adopted declared that all candidates
should stand on an equal footing. 1t

WHY "PlPEr DREAMS?

Every now and then some article appears in the public prints that is wholly without foundation in fact an imaginary composition that goes into and recites details that could not have existed, and then when the de. tail comes it is usually in a stero. typed phrase which characterizes the whole as pipe dream"
 Analysed this is supposed to mean that the author of the imaginative story had been smoking opium, the effect of which it Is stated is to make very elastic and vivid the imagina- ton of the users.
 But the pipe is being made the goat for whole lot of criticism in this respect. There are other things that inspire sensational and ill found cd articles in the public prints.
 Probably the first inspiration is a reckless ambition for small pit. tance, without regard for the after math. This inspiration is aided al ways by the turing thought that the sensationalist may get away un- branded.
 Then when tho exposure is made, the blame is laid on the pipe" Why not distribute the criticism. if stimu- lant really fosters such sensational ism? Perhaps there has been reck- lessness stimulated by cocaine, which certainly is more commonly used than opium. Also it may have been morphine stimulant Or mayhaps it may have been the more common, but less criticized article of common gin-whisky. if you please, or beer, or perhaus wine.
 The pipe" is getting a whole lot of misdirected blame. The Chinese are the most frequent users of this dream producer, and they never at tempt notoriety. Of the Caucasians, the common thief is the most ire quent opium user and he abhores pub- licity.
 But it isn't the pipe" nor the CO., caine, nor the morphine, nor the gin, nor any other sordid sedative or stimulant, that is responsible for the irresponsible newspaper writer of elastic imagination. It is the pub fisher who must face the blame. If publishers. like other business men, dealt only with agents of their busi. ness in whom confidence could be reposed, required and exacted care in the handling Of news. and did not dismiss fragrant wrongs with the ex- planation that they were pipe" dreams, there would be less sensa- tional reading and more confidence in the American press.

There are lots of people throughout
the country who understand the fact
that the Democratic party did not get
majority Of the popular vote last
fall; but many Of them seem to be un-
aware that the public generally has
cognizance Of the fact. We have be-
lieved all along that President Wilson
understood that the success Of the
Democratic party was due more to
the best judgment Of the people than
1t was to the strength Of the party or
ganization, and what t : president
said on the subject in New Jersey last
week is convincing. Here Is the pres
ident's view Of the situation:
"I want everybody to realize that
was not taken in by the results Of the
last general election. The country did
not go Democratic in November. 1t
was impossible for it 10 go Republi-
can, because it could not tell which
kind Of Republican to go. The only
united helpful instrument which could
accomplish it's purpose was the DEM
ocratic party, and what 1t did was to
say this:
want to see done; not certain persons
whom we want to see elevated. There
are certain things we want to see ad-
minis. cred. This great United States
can no longer be controlled by special
interests. Now we are going to try
the Democratic party as our instru-
ment to discover these things. If the
try is not successful, we will never
make 1t again. We want an instru-
ment in our hands by which we can
be masters of our own affairs. 1t
looks as If this is a suitable and repre-
sentative instrument, therefore we
will try 1t. Not adopt It; try it,"

How Long?

In the interview that Governor Blease
has given out in connection with the
taking Of negro prisoners from Chester
to Columbia to guard against lynching.
there is food for serious thought.
AS to whether there would have been
lynchings in Chester and the other
places mentioned, If the prisoners had
not been taken to the penitentiary, is
probably an open question; but in each
case the sheriffs evidently thought that
such thing was easily possible, else
they would not have gone to the trou-
BILE and expense of removing the pris-
oners in question.
When it comes to an expression of
Governor Blease on any subject, we
are quite we'll aware that there are a
large number Of people who do not care
what he says, and another large num-
ber of people who are not willing to
give him credit for sincerity or honesty
Of purpose in anything; but for the
purpose of the observations being here
offered, this is a matter Of no conse-
quence. The all important question is
not whether Governor Bease is really
concerned about securing more expedi-
tious and just administration of the
laws, or whether he is sincere in what
he says; but rather whether the alleged
facts he states are correct, and whether
the reasoning he puts forth is as sound
as it is plausible.
This writer has been taught from
early youth that there can be no secur-
ity for life, liberty or property, except
by stict, impartial and just adminis-
tration of the laws, and up to the pres

Saturday was a busy day among
the merchants and the majority Of
Yorkville business houses seemed to be
we'll pleased with the days sales.
There are something like 100 fish
In the fountain in front of the court
house at this time. Deputy Shefif
Quinn says there were 79 in the foun-

that the number has greatly increased
this year. The fountain at first con-
tanned only gold fish, but there are sew
eral kinds now swimming In the water.
It Is not known how the other fish got
there but 1t Is supposed that they have
been thrown in by some small boys and
others.

In a very able and interesting arti-
Gle in the Saturday Evening Post, old
man Joe Cannon recalls the fact that
every party that has undertaken to
lower the tariff has been driven from
power at the ensuing elections, and
he predicts that the same thing Is 60
ing to happen next summer and In
the summer and fall Of 1916. He is
frank enough to admit that the DEM
ocratic party could not have done any
thing else than what 1t is trying to do
and retain its self-respect. There Is a
good deal of good hard sense in Uncle
Joe's article and we agree with it to
the extent that there will be a terrible
assault on the tariff next year. We
are inclined to think 1t possible that
there will be a very considerable
change in the personnel Of congress-;
but somehow we have hope that Pres
ident Wilson will prove big enough to
stem the tide in time to prevent u
summary undoing Of the tariff reduc-
ton work.
