When in a recent article on The Con-

omitted the name of Senator Reed Smoot
from the group OF Republican leaders who
reached their later prominence by regu-
larlty, experience and the opera tion Of the
old priority rule" patriotic inhabitants of
Utah arose to claim the credit. Their

IDAHO SENATORSHIP.

Representative Burton l.. French of
Idaho has announced his candidacy for
the United States senatorial seat now
held by Senator Brady. The latter will
be candidate to succeed himself and
the Republican voters of the state will
designate their choice at the coming
primary. Mr.. French has served Idaho
in the lower branch of congress for
some years, while Mr.. Brady served as
governor before going to Washington
as senator.
Both are men of good character rs
well as reputation and possess the nee"
cssary ability to represent the Gem
state in the national councils The am
bition to wear the senatorial toga is a
laudable one and no state should be re-
stricted to one choice by the machina-
tIons of any coterie of small bore poll
ticians who try to eliminate all opposi-
ton to the chief of their clan before
the people have an opportunity to ex-
press their wishes. That this is not the
case in Idaho is evidenced by the fact
that two men OF the caliber of French
and Brady are to contest for the prize
in Idaho.

been called the "iuvisible balance OF
trade. In reality, however, nations
in the long run must sell as much as
they buy. and it is TO be supposed that
neither England nor Germany will be
satisfied to exclude the United States
from their selling area.
Great Britain goes to great expense
in naming consuls in all parts of the
world to promote her trade. and
lavishly supplies publicity with the
same object in view. It is strange
therefore. that the cost of pushing
British trade by means of an adver'
tisoment such as the Panama EXposi-
tion should be considered excessive
AS a matter OF fact there is n mys'
terious element about the compact be
tween Great Britain and Germany that

UTAH SHOULD PROTEST.

Formal protest has been made by
the Colorado delegation in Congress
against tho withdrawal of that State s
esrnotite and pitchblende ore lands
rToposcd by Secretary Lane. IL appears
that the recommendation went 10
Washington from an employee OF the
Interior Department, who had spent
onlv a few weeks in Colorado and who
had become obsessed with the idea that
foreign capitalists were seeking to
monopolize the radioactive orc lands
Of Colorado and Utah.
As a result OF the protest an inti-
nation comes from Washington that
Secretary Lane has not the power to
segreeate the lands, and must appeal
10 Congress for appropriate action, lf
the matter is brought up in Congress
the members of the Colorado delega-
tion will have chance to make an
open and strenuous fight against the
proposed segregation. At the same
time Utah's dormant delegation may
be stirred to action.
While the value Of radioactive ore
fields in Southeastern Utah is still
a subject of vague speculation, there is
no reason why Utah's delegation in
Congress should permit the segregation
of one of the State s birthrights with
out at least an investigation and a
vigorous protest. Colorado has been
deeply stirred by the proposal to shut
off these ore deposits from private
enterprise, and thus 10 prevent the de
yclopment of a resource which IL IS
believed will add greatly 10 the wealth
