ToRPEDoED WITH
CREW ON BoARr

Havre, Feb. 1.-THE British
steam collier Dulwich, bound from
Hull to Rouen, was torpedoed by a
German submarine twenty miles
northwest Of Cape de la Heve at Q
o'clock last night. The torpedo
struck the middle starboard side. As
the crew took to the boats, the sub.
marine which torpedoed the ship was
seen speeding away. The Dulwich
sank in twenty minutes.
Twenty-Five members OF the crew
of thirty one we're picked up by the
French destroyer Arquesbuse and
brought to Havre. Seven others
rowed to Fecamp. The fate OF the
other two Is unknown.
The seven seamen who rowed to
Fecamp reached there half frozen
and exhausted at about II o'clock last
night. They had labored at the oars
for twenty-eight hours in stormy
sea.

class /. c. belongs perhaps a great
many ready know, and others VIII
learn as time mills this thing out,
but what we should Ike to know Is
this: When was the Interpretation
of the constitution placed on the
shoulders of /. C. Thorsen? When
was the decree signed, sealed and
delivered vesting In |. G. Thorsen
the right to vote his fellow man
We recall that /. G. was once
boss in Cache of some magnitude
but some one told us that years ago
he was thrown away in the dump
heap. Has there been resurrec'
tion, and If so, when?
The constitution o. our state makes
the House o. Representatives the
sole Judge u its own members and
against the decision OF the House
there is no appeal. Representative
Peterson exercised his constitutional
right in the matter in question and
voted I'm accordance with his best
Judgment. 1t was his business, and
none Of /. c. Thorsen's business.
He was called upon to place a con.
struction on portion of the consti-
ton, and did SO. |. c. Thorsen was
not called upon TO do any such thing
was not vested with any such right,
or authority, and in this matter he
is purely buttinsky, having no vote,
and not even having been called up
on for an opinion. When voting for
Mr.. Warwick, Representative Peter
son said he felt 1t would be more
of violation of the constitution to
DEPRIVE the people Of Utah county
of representation than to vote for
the seating of Warwick. He there
fore waived the technicality and vot-
ed to seat Warwick, and for this act
he has received the enconiums oil
scores of Democrats, much less er
ratio and eruptive than the insolent
Thorsen.
We have carefully read the Pro
gressive Platform and we cannot ma
in II one sentence that can be con-
strued to give |. C. Thorsen the
right to vote T. w. Peterson. Then
what is his offense? Purely moth
ing. We have read a great many
Democratic platforms, and pages OF
Democratic literature and in 1t we
find much that says |. G. Thorsen
should attend to his duty as a mem
Der of the Federal Bunch of Utah
and not be butting into the affairs
of other officials. Very generous Of
Thorsen to shoulder the responsible
tiles of others but not very lucra
tive and substantial in the end we
should imagine, based upon the ten
ents Of Democracy theoretically In
terpreted. As a method of settle
ment we recommend conference
between Thorsen, Peterson, and tn
head of the Civil Service Department
at Washington, d. C. The result o
the conference would certainly fur
nish a fine paragraph of rhetoric 10
President Wilson to peruse.
We congratulate Representative
Peterson on his independence.

GOVERNORS STATEMENT

In another part OF this issue OF The
lntelligencer will be found a compre-
hensive review of the financial ritua-
tion OF the State by Governor Hat
Held. summed up from correspond
encs that has passed between him
self, the Auditor. the Treasurer and
the States chief accountant. The
Governors analysis OF the financial
condition Is clear and convincing and
reveals q status that has been brought
out In these columns from time to
time. Through this correspondence
the Governor is more strongly than
ever fortified in the position he has
taken. that II would be a violation OF
his constitutional obligations to at
tempt TO use the States credit 10
remedy a condition brought about
solely by the failure of the legisla-
ture TO provide the revenues they
were enjoined to do BY the consiitu-
lion.
The most impressive disclosure of
the Governors statement is that the
present deficit Is not temporary one.
and that II all the appropriations Of
the legislature were expended there
would be a treasury deficit on June
80. 1916. Of s1.500,OOO. How. then,
could any loan the Governor might
negotiate be paid back. when there
would be no money available from
current revenues to meet the obliga.
ton within the maximum time of
eighteen months? These and other
points Governor Hatfield makes can.
not help but strengthen him with the
people. who are already rallyirg TO
him in support OF the stand he has
taken.
