Alternately he was a member of the legislature and a secretary of the Young Men's Christian association. Sometimes he was both. For services rendered in a senatorial contest in the Utah legislature, he received an appointment as chaplain in the United States army. Being assigned to the United States Eighteenth infatry.he started out on his lifes job a fat one, with good salary, gentlemanly associations, and very little do. Chaplain Axton went to the Philippines and staid in camp around Manila a few months; then, being still a favorite of the powers that be, he was permitted to cure his fit of home sickness by a long leave of absence of course on full pay at the public expense. After returning to his native city of Salt Xake, it occurred to him that the world needed enlightenment on the subject of the Philippines and so he addressed a large audience in the Philipps Congregational church on that subject. Among his utterances were statements to the effect that the Catholic priests in the Philippines charged all they could get for the minor offices of the chflrch; that women would stand for hours in the heat with their babies waiting for the padres to baptize the children on payment of a good round sum; that it was the same when people wished to bury their dead; that for marrying, the charges were so high that hundreds of couples could not afford it.and so took to living together without any formal ceremony. His insult to the Catholics to one of the most eminent of whom in secular life, John Axton owes his easy position' in the world has aroused the Catholic and it comes at him in a savage but deserved attack that may well make his feelings frizzle. in While not agreeing with the Catholic, in all things and while certainly not believing that the rule of the friars in the Philippines has been any where near as good as it might have been, yet we are constrained to accept its statements on this question in opposition to Axton as being largely justified by the facts and largely justified by Aston's misrepresentations. The Inter Mountain Catholic thinks that John Axton might have communed with himself to the following effect: "There is some- in Inter-Mounta- That several sales which we advertised last week are still in FULL BLAST? 4 ol ONE JOHN AXTON. Inter-Mounta- Are You Aware As predicted by this paper and other friends of Joseph W. Folk, he has been nominated for governor of Missouri by the Democratic convention on an platform. This action of the people in opposition to the machine is a demonstration that, although public thieves may thrive for a little time, the great righteous common sense of the community will finally assert itself and bood-lin- g will be driven from power. Just at the present time a wave of this kind of reform is passing over the country. Boodling mayors have been cast into prison; boodling legislators have been exiled from the country. The wave may not reach e very city during its present flood; but it will comeback again and those who thieve from the public treasuries would best beware. anti-bood- le . . CARPING BOTH WAYS. And still the petty carpers of the Democratic press continue. In one issue they quote gleefully the old, and now obsolete reflection upon Judge Parker: "A silent man on a coward platform has never yet been in Uncle Sam's line." And in another issue with ravening joy they publish the statement that the Democratic platform has been made completely to suit Alton B. Parker and that he dictated its brazen utterances. They will be better pleased after four years of Parker in the White House; when they discover that neither he nor his party is silent or afraid. Now that Dr. Condon has become a candidate for the United States senate our old friend, C. H. M. y Agramonte, who is publishing the at the City of Mexico, should reciprocate past kindnesses by dropping into poetry for the doctors benefit. Old timers will recall the splendid verse in Anglo-Americ- an which Dr. Condon immortalized, "Brave Agramontes heart of fire!" v The; Salt Lake Herald very wisely says that William J. Bryan can best assist the national Democracy by carrying Nebraska for his party; and that a victory of this kind can give to Mr. Bryan greater prestige with the nation than he ever enjoyed before. That is the word with the bark on it. . Grover Cleveland drops into prophecy a friendly way and claims victory for Parker and Davis. in Buchanan he styles "lit representatives of the sordid and odious political organisations of New Tork and Pennsylvania. Again, he says: Van Buren faithfully served the mammon of unrighteousness, both In his own state and, later on, in Washington. Tyler la spoken of with the utmost contempt. He has been called a mediocre man, says Mr. Roosevelt; but this Is unwarranted flattery. He was a politician of monumental littleness. Nor la this historian devoid of humor. He opens one chapter of his book with the statement: In 1844 for candidate the the Whig presidency, Henry Clay, was defeated by a Mr. Polk, the nominee of the Democracy. It would be the Irony of fate if at some future time some other great historian would have this fact to record: In 1904 the Republican candidate for the presidency, Theodore Roosevelt, was defeated by a Mr. Parker, the nominee of the Democracy. History has repeated Itself before. Historian Roosevelt has not the patience to analyse all the presidents separately, but with one sweep of the pen he consigns a whole row of them to oblivlou by referring to Tyler as the very smallest of the line of small presidents who came in between Jack-so- n and Lincoln." The keynote of this book Is the same keynote that dominates everything that Theodore Roosevelt ever wrote or uttered. Here it Is: A class of fire-eate- rs; sirable a citlsen as Is a duelist" This was what Martin W.
