It seemed like an echo from the past to hear the voice of Abel John Evans in the senate on Tuesday. And Abel John is as staunch a Democrat as ever. When called upon to pray at the opening of the session he did not fail to remind the Lord that when the wicked rule the people mourn. When the exsenator made this observation he was facing in the direction of Ed Loose and Bishop Gardner. Jit jit Those who have watched the work of the senate have not failed to note the respect in which Harden Bennion is held by his brother senators. His technical knowledge of the work of the senate is of great value to the body; he is a tireless worker and a close watcher, but a very poor speaker. He pays close attention to detail, and it is largely due to his vigilance that many imperfectly constructed measures did not pass the senate. jt jt Again the Democrats in the senate showed their inability to get together on Wednesday when it came to a showdown on the income tax bill. Income tax has been upheld as a cardinal article of the Democratic faith for years by Bryan and his disciples; but when the test came the local Democracy split dirctly in the middle on the proposition. Murdock, Barnes and Bennion voted for the income tax; Bamberger, Whitmore and Barber voted against it. Which trio represents the true .Democracy? - Jt-- - jt - - The defeat of the Commercial club water commission bill in the senate was unfortunate for Salt Lake.

The resolutions were the work of a zealot; the senate did right for its own honor and manliness in crushing them, and the only regret is that such a bright d and man as Willis Johnson should lend himself as a tool to re- fair-minde- |
