I In Is worse than the theft of at a n purse purses purser The colonels colonel's indignation over m-er Mr Rosewater's course in tho the r j national committee in voting t to seat scat the the Taft t dele delegates ates is not decreased by bv the fact that 1 although h nine national committeemen from states th that t sent ent Roosevelt delegations voted in the committee for the Taft I cause ten national committeemen from states that sent Taft delegations delegations delegations supported the Roosevelt delegates in the national committee If 1 the course of Mr r. Rosewater in in that regard was criminal the attitude of the Roosevelt supporters was equally reprehensible Colonel C. C Ed Loose national committeeman from Utah supported the Roosevelt contests contests contests con con- tests in the national committee although Utah sent an instructed Taft delegation tiou to Chicago In so Utah Utah's committeeman acted within his rights and voted his convictions Should not Mr Rosewater of Nebraska also be considered as honest honesty When Mr 11 Rosewater as acting chairman of the national convention convention convention conven conven- I tion to the time that the gathering selected Senator Root permitted the con contested ested delegations to participate in organizing the convention con he hejl jl followed the precedents of half a century precedents established by t William Villiam McKinley 1 afterwards President and Senator Lodge It is idle to suppose that Mr Ir Roosevelt was unaware of this inasmuch as ashe ashe ashe t he sat as a delegate in one of the conventions con in which this ruling was made And it is equally absurd for the chief Bull Con to argue that all contested seats must be considered as ns vacant Carrying the colonels colonel's argument to its logical conclusion let us suppose th that t he had contested the seats of delegates That number being a m majority of the convention and it being impossible for less than a majority to organize no convention cO could cOd d have bave been held since there were seats scats that would have ha necessarily have been considered vacant I And nd nd let those who find it impossible to conceive e of the tho colonel I doing such thing remember that he filed contests against Taft I delegates and that his representatives ves in the the national c committee abandoned abandoned abandoned aban aban- of them as absolutely without merit ment indeed Indeed- Ormsby McHarg o his gen general ral confessed that the these e were begun merely merey for forI forthe I the pS psychological effect a and d the same admission was made in In the ther r newspapers controlled by Fran Franl Roosevelt supporter If the chief of the Bull BIlIC Con was dishonest in contests who shall say ba b. b was not dishonest in the entire number or that ho he would hesitate at being dishonest in enough to prevent organization of the convention 1 It should be remembered also that when Mr Roosevelt talks of ninety contested delegates he deliberately ignores the fact that his most ardent adherents on the national committee took issue with the thc Taft 1 forces on but two seventy-two delegates and that the other eighteen among the seated by the unanimous consent of Taft and Roosevelt I men The truth is that the colonel thought he could steal two seventy delegates and aud that this would permit him to organize the convention r I When he discovered this number was not sufficient he raised his bis allegation allega allega- I tion lion of theft to ninety delegates then in iu order to make good for him the Roosevelt Roose men on the credentials committee were actually forced to bring in minority reports against recognition of eighteen delegates who had previously pre been seated by the advice consent and upon the initiative of Roosevelt members of the national committee We do not know why Mr rr Roosevelt always suspects with such readiness that somebody is about to lie to him or has told him a falsehood false false- falsehood hood nor why he so incessantly imagines that he be is being heing defrauded I The man of political honesty honest is slow to suspect others actual proof of turpitude on the part of an opponent invariably comes to such an one oneas oneas as a shock Men len who are truthful themselves feel confident of the I same virtue in others it is only by b bitter experience that they lose their trustfulness Mr Roosevelt Roose scatters broadcast such a multiplicity of charges that one is warranted wan in believing his suspicious watchfulness to be prompted by knowledge of what he himself is ready to do when g given en the opportunity No other explanation is possible I T T T X II T is the duty of the governing unit to maintain I The Public IT peace and enforce order with strict impartiality 1 Interest nt rest in In a a duty which it can surrender to no I other agency agency The instruments with which t the c Strike at law is made operative must be directly under the file t Bingham Bingham control of the officers of the law there can be beno beno beno no division of authority or of responsibility The public interest in the struggle between the Utah Copper company slid and its striking at Bingham demands that t the former ull be he r given full protection for its property and the lives I of its officials but ut that the power of county or state tate shall not be used to coerce the workingmen Unless the peace officers whose duty must be bo discharged impartially in protecting alike the rights of employer slid and a d employ are under the direct dI e control of ol county or state the public service is not properly administered So long as the shei sheriff f of Salt Lake county can c'an control the situation i at Bingham and prevent lawbreaking it is his duty to do so 80 and land when t j 1 conditions get beyond his bis control the state slate will be forced to act we l have no doubt that it will wiIl do it cheerfully The sheriff must enforce 1 law by means of his bis deputies and it is as incumbent upon him to oppose i lawbreaking on the part of employer as of In the discharge of his bis official duty neither he nor his agents may exhibit bi bias s. s And r z in order th that t he may enforce that lack of f parti partiality lit his bis deputies must be e under his absolute control and must recognize the necessity of an nn unbiased attitude This scarcely seems possible unless they are the of the county and not of the copper company compan or or- orits its striking t It has been widely published that at the Utah Copper company is paying t tho jo c extra deputies who are arc under command of the sheriff If this be le tru a it is a mistaken policy It is is a n solemn obligation upon the t county nd failing that the state to protect property and the county y yv v should hould bear the expense President Moyer of the union of em Py to es asks that union men be deputized dl as guards of property and ana life in inI I Bingham his request is just if the copper company is to be he given such t f advantage as hoarding boarding and paying sheriffs sheriff's deputies may furnish But Butic ButI I Le Ie ic people of he be county wish the law to be e strictly neutral adminis- adminis administered j t by

to concede to women an equal right to a voice oice in the administration n of government Utah took an advanced stand and one which this commonwealth has maintained And now at a time when government paternalism is so 80 freely offered as a means of surrounding with more comfort and conven convenience ence the lives of the people it is fitting that this sovereign commonwealth should invite into
