Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, UTAH STATE JOURNAL THE PROSPERITY OF 1903 AND 1904 . OGDEN, UTAH The New York Snn of the fourth of January prints a financial review of 1903 and a financial forecast for 1904. It is one of the most comprehensive and valuable compilations of the season. The chief article of the paper is headed A Splendid Outlook for 1904 ; it declares that trade and finance start the vear on a sound basis. The difference stock market prosperity and industrial prosperity is clearly shown. With declines recorded .on nearly all the important stocks with which the New York exchange deals, yet the Sun claims that the year 1903 will pass into history as the most prosperous year the American farmer1, manufacturer, and rail- FRANK J.

So says Richard C. Kerens of St. Louis. No one doubts the famous Dick Kerens's right to speak on a question of this kind. He is one of the great politicians of the United States. Like Mark Hanna, he is as true as steel to his friends but not at all hysterical in their behalf. He judges questions bv reason and not by emotion. Mr. Kerens and a score of other able politicians of the country refuse to join the Roosevelt cult. The president, by accident, is too boyish for them. They have always supported a man It is not surand they want one now. prising that they should have selected Marcus Alonzo Hanna, who, by long odds is the greatHe est political figure of his party represents its ideals, he would carry out its purposes for they are largely of his own orto-da-v. igination. Senator Hanna is a most notable figure in any aggregation of men; and yet measured by our old ideals he is altogether an unlovable public character. Possessing in high degree the personal virtues of honesty, loyalty to friends, and benevolence to mankind; in his political capacity as leader of a party he has no scruples, loyalty to country is subordinated to party desire, and benevolence is a thing of which he takes no thought. His candidacy would be the logical culmination of the recent movement of Republicanism. Previous to 18 his party had kept close to the people. It had demeasureably nounced Grover Clevelandism and the Cleveland partnership with Wall street as an iniquity; and it had affected to hold, and probably did hold, the interest of the nation above partisanship and above all personal ambition. At that time Mr. Hanna was regarded as an able and yet rather unscrupulous politician; and it was necessary to place a man with reputation for personal sanctity forward as the candidate if any hope were to be entertained1 of success. During the first two years of President McKinley's service at the White House the old time Republicans were humiliated and filled with indignation because of the influence which men like Senator Hanna exercised. Old stalwarts of the party, like Senator William P. Frye, of Maine, Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota, Joseph B. Forak-e- r, of Ohio, and George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, saw their party leadership pass into hands of politicians instead of patriots, business men instead of statesmen. It was a great grief to them. But see how logically ,the evil has progressed. As late as 1893 Marcus Alonzo Hanna, and his political methods, represented to the old idealistic Republicans all that was reprehensible in their party's - con- be-twe- en The Sun way company have ever known. concludes that the business heart of this country is still beating with a vigor never equalled by any other nation under the sky. These are cheering words if true. But they must be read with the full knowledge that J. Pierpont Morgan is the owner of the Sun and dictates its policy; and if he is ever to regain his former prestige as a financier it must be by a restoration of confidence among the investors in railway and industrial enterprises. Mr. Morgan became a victim of the Rockefellers through the reluctance of monied people to take up his great issue of stock trusts and bonds. There will be no possibility of his promoting another such enterprise until absolute confidence is restored. 1 RIVALRY OF A SENcATOR. Some of the eastern papers publish special dispatches from Washington containing interviews with Senator Reed Smoot, accompanied by the absurd intimation that the efforts to secure a correct view of his position are prompted by an unsuccessful rival of Senator Smoot. So far as the Democratic party is concerned the only candidacy for the senate which was offered in opposition to that of Apostle Smoot was that of bis predecessor, Hon. Joseph L. Rawlins. Leading Democrats of the state had announced in public press andafrom the plaform that they favored his Mr. Rawlins waged a campaign on that issue; and in fact nearly all of the prominent men of his party were with him. There was no rivalry of Senator Smoot other than this, unless from within his owii party; and jealousy there was so still that you could hear a pin drop for all other possible aspirants were so anxious to make favor with Senator Smoot and his ecclesiastical associates that they submitted without public protest to that which they had previously averred would be a great wrong. How, then, can there be any justice in the intimation that any rivalry of Senator Smoot prompts the demand that the facts be known ? ELECTION cAND WAR AS TIERS : UNSET-- 3904. Unfor- B. F.
