though it was urged by the governor in
his message. In his message to the pres
ent legislature Governor Bamberger re.
newed his recommendation to this eff
feet, and the Democratic party is pledg-
ed to it, but nothing seems to have been
done. If the Democratic members of the
legislature regard so lightly these other
pledges, why do they place such emphasis
on another pledge, providing for thing
which, we are told on high Democratic
authority, is absolutely antagonistic To
the Democratic theory of government
namely, the fostering of monopoly.
The history of politics is full of violat-
ed pledges, some of them right, some of
them wrong, and, for the. benefit of the
Democrats in the legislature, we will cite
one such violation, made by the chief of
his party. The Baltimore convention
in 1912 adopted a platform which pledg-
ed the nominee of the party, if elected,
not to be candidate for reelection.
Woodrow Wilson was nominated and ell
ected in due curse. Probably most of the
able gentlemen occupying seats on the
Democratic side of this legislature of
Utah, certainly all of them who appeared
on the stump, fully and convincingly JUS
tilted President Wilson's candidacy in
1916, AS to the merits of their argument
we shall not speak. We desire simply to
point out that the chief of the Democrat
ic party in the nation had no hesitancy in
breaking platform pledge which did not
appeal to his judgment as being just.
Ii the president of the United States
is justified in breaking platform pledge
adopted after full debate by convention
that knew exactly what it was doing, why
should any member of the Utah legisla-
ture hesitate to act on his own Judgment
and decline to be bound by a platform

surprised into adopting?-Salt Lake

BELGIANS AND THE
ALLIED UNIFORMS

In Brussels wherever any one in
an allied uniform went a crowd was
sure to follow. and if he stopped
for any length Of time an admiring
crowd would quickly gather and he
would be forced to shake hands with
the entire crew. The different uni
forms of the various allies bothered
the worthy burghers q lot. You see
they hadn't seen anything but the
gray green of the Boche since 1914
and at that time even the French
poilu was in scarlet trousers aud
blue tunic. so it was no small wonder
that the uniforms confused them.
When the crowd would cry at us
"Vive la France!" we would smile
politely. Seeing that wasn't right,
the would cry little more loudly
'Vive lAngleterre!" Again with no
success. Finally then everybody
would compromise third time by
shouting "Vive les Allies!" And
then everybody was happy.-"on

Small Bore Rifle to

Caldwell, N. J., Aug. 22-Saturday
Aug. q, selected as the date for the
small bore match here, in which an
American 10 scheduled to shoot
during the national rifle matches,
Will mark the formal establishment
of the outdoor small bore game in
this. country. The British team
will shoot over a range in England
at the same time.
For the last II months or more
a few OF the rifle clubs, unwilling to
abandon outdoor shooting in spite
of the high cost of ammunition, took
up to 22-calibre practice at distances
from 50 to 200 yards. To the ma or-
ity of the riflemen however, the art
Of shooting the gallery rifle on the
open range Is still more or less of a
mystery.
In England for many years
miniature matches have held recog-
nized place in all competition pro-
grams, and the British riheman
has satisfied himself that the little
40-grain bullet is capable of consid-
cradle accuracy in target practice.
We are just learning these capabili-
ties.
The intentional small bore match
should awaken widespread interest
in the tryouts for the team. While
the United States is not possessed
of T. host of riflemen experienced in
outdoor work with the 22-calibre
rife, the scores in the gallery
matches of recent years have
approached as near to perfection as
possible. In fact only the best rifles
and ammunition, plus the maximum
of skill, could produce the scores
which have been hung up by some
