The following editorial from the New York Evening Post and the observations of the Deseret News and George A. Chapin give us an idea of Senator Smoots worth to the taxpayers of this nation. We know our heroes in public life, but we dont always know our benefactors. They are often too plodding to witch the world with noble headlines. Washington dispatches, for example, have very little to say about one of the most useful members of the Senate, Reed Smoot of Utah. He is no orator, he seldom makes long speeches, but he has an unusual grasp of the public business to which he devotes himself with an assiduity that most men keep for their 'private affairs. Day after day Senator Smoot sits there to watch harmless-looking bills and to insists upon taking out of them insidious little appropriations artfully concealed in some corner. It i3 an ungratful task to be a watchdog of the Treasury, especially in these days when the spending of billions makes it seem hardly wdrth while to save thousands, but Senator Smoot Sticks to it with admirable persistence. And he has won thereby the marked respect of his s, even though he often blocks their pet measures. Another thing which Senator Smoot consistently and resolutely opposes is the indiscriminate printing of public document. He inexorably demands that they be first passed upon by the Committee on Printing. All this is humdrum work, but some one ought to do it in the public interest. We may add that the public ought to be grateful to the man who does do it. ' 72.-57- " 1 fellow-Senator- . The foregoing, ah editorial from the New, York EvenPost of March 26, will give pleasure and pride to Senator ing Smoots constituents, whose loyal approbation of his excellent work is thus warranted and confirmed by the highest authority. The Evening Post is one of the ablest, strongest and most conservative newspapers in the world ; it is classed as independent in politics, but its proclivities are decidedly Democratic which makes its praise in this instance the mere precious and generous. With the same disregard of politics and partisanship, the people of Utah will endorse its encomiums and thank it for its compliments. Deseret News. The following letter to the Evening Post was printed in its columns April 7, 1920: A HIGHLY USEFUL SENATOR To the Editor of The Evening Post : j Sir : I wish to thank you and to confirm what appeal's in your columns March 26 regarding Senator Smoot of Utah. I had been prejudiced against him until I went to Washington last May and watched him day after day in the Senate. Senator Thomas one day gave him credit for being more punctual or more constant in attendance than any other Senator. He is all that he is said to be in your editorial. Utah is just now apparently a Democratic State, having gone that way even in 1918, but his defeat would be a real loss to the country.. I call myself a Democrat at that. GEORGE A. CHAPIN. Sioux City, Iowa, March 31. ITS TIME ' . 1 : TO RESTORE REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT time is coming when representative government be restored completely both in national and in party affairs. Political parties will insist upon .the authority which must accompany responsibility. There will be representative conventions of the party in every voting unit from the township to the nation, in which candidates will be proposed and principles and programs enunciated. The primary will be retained as the referendum upon the decisions of these convention; in other words the official party ticket must be subjected to the test of challenge and possible rejection and substituting by the rank and file of the party, in order that any dishonesty or irregularity or lack of good judgment in official party decisions may not be binding upon the party as a whole. This program offers the only escape from the many evils, including the possible preponderant influence of wealth in popular primaries, and it offers the only opportunity for the restoration of that party responsibility which is so wholesome a factor in representative government. In legislative bodies party authority .and responsibility will be restored through the revival of the of the party caucus, where majorities will outline party policy. These are steps in the restorafTon of representative republican government which any political party may take as Jtn organisation, without changes in existing laws, and which must be taken unless political parties are to be dis- THE succeed. The weakening of party authority and responsibility results in the domination of government by individuals ad groups, the very essence of autocracy. The present chaotic condition of things in government and politics is the result of years of successful assault upon the fundamentals of party and governmental organization. so are we To serye your wants in Paints, Varnishes, 14,-63- 9 Brushes, etc. Our Spring Stock of Wallpaper is on Display at The Maiben Glass & Paint Co.
