Show DAILY 4 UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON, EDITOR. THE REAL QUESTIONS. It is well to establish the truth of history; and the Utah State Journal and the Provo Enquirer have presented their reminiscences from different viewpoints and with different recollections concerning an episode of But it must occur to the Enquirer editor, as it will to the readers of his paper and the readers of State Journal, that the real questions of public interest in this state are not as to the personal attitude of the Enquirer editor nor of any other newspaper writer, either in 18 or 1004. The whole nation is interested in an issue presented by Utah; and naturally Utah people are more profoundly engrossed in this than any other question that can be offered for their consideration. Under what method was the election of Hon. Thomas Kearns to the United States senate procured? What were the reasons which actuated those distinguished men, who were so determined to secure the senatorship for him as they induced some of his of great prominence and influence to leave the state during the crucial hours? What was the motive of Hon. Reed Smoot? Did he approve the plan to deliver the senatorship to Mr. Kearns, despite the belief which, it is claimed, he frequently expressed as to the unfitness of Kearns simply because he could get a guaranty of a senatorship for himself two years later, if he would concede first place to Mr. Kearns in 1901? And what attitude are these same Republicans intending to have toward Senator Kearns this fall and next winter? Will Senator Smoot and his ecclesiastical and other friends fight Kearns in the next campaign on the ground of unfitness? If they do, how will they excuse that attitude to their people after having selected him as their first choice four years ago? What steps will the Republican party take to retrieve for Utah the ground which has been lost by Republican folly? Will Senator Smoot continue to be the dictator of politics in Utah? And will he further antagonize the sentimentalities of the United" States fcy' selecting, through ecclesiastical aid and approval, his next colleague in the senate? Is Senator Smoot, as the leader of the Republican party in this state taking effective steps to regain Utah's popularity with the nation?. Or is be determined to make the condition worse by repeating in another form the blunder of two years ago? Has his dictatorship made for prosperity at home and peace abroad? These are the questions which agitate the public mind in this state. They are issues which can in no wise be evaded; nor will any innuendo divert the public mind from these public emergencies into a consideration of any trival personal matter. ' The welfare of the commonwealth is at stake; and the people want to know how that welfare, jeopardized by the Republican party, is hereafter to be treated by the men who exercise supreme con- 18. i i 'i "f i ers i a t 4 1 I i ..! ;j i 1 4 I . i STATE UTAH JOURNAL, eit JUNE 9, 1904. sin is failure to bow before the image of himself which he has created as an object of wor- ship; with Roosevelt it is only righteous venstiff-nec- k creatures geance to pursue these after he shall have passed through the campaign. In some instances, abject submission like that of Senator Beveridge of Indiana, may save Hannas friends from the violence of the Roosevelt wrath; but in the majority of instances he will be as unforgiving as he is forgetting. To have believed in Hanna was to measurably disbelieve in Roosevelt, and disbelief in Roosevelt was high treason. There is only one hope that these people may be spared the full effects of his vengeful spirit;andthat is in a Democratic victory, leaving Mr. Roosevelt but the brief time between election day in November and the fourth day of March next in which to hang, draw and quarter the old ANNOUNCEMENT Concerning the New Knoth Drug Store Hr. Knoth desires you to know that his new store is now occupied Hanna guard. As we printed yesterday an excerpt of the article of the Salt Lake Herald written by Hon. B. H. Roberts, it is only fair to give currency to the Heralds comment thereupon. A part of its very strong editorial on the subject In support of his position, Mr. is as follows: Roberts assumes that an amendment resolution. could be aimed only at Utah and that there is no demand for legislation affecting the whole problem of marriage and divorce throughout the country. He ignores the fact that all the great denominations are working in unison for a reform in lax divorce laws; he refuses to admit that the American people are deeply concerned, not only about conditions in Utah, but about conditions all over the country. In this he is mistaken, seriously mistaken. The Smoot inquiry helped crystallize public sentiment on the general subject, but it was not the sole cause of public concern and demand for federal legislation. Nor is the sentiment in favor of an amendment confined to 'the Baptist Union association, a Mothers congress, the W. C. T. U. and other hysterical, ultra-reforassociations outside of our state that are not satisfied with the manner in which the laws of Utah are administered. The demand for a system1 of laws affecting the marriage relation is widespread, it is being furthered by practically all the great denominations and their associated organizations; it 'j s and that every convenience for his customers is rapidly being installed.
