Show TRUTHS. The twin stuffed prophets, Senators Sena-tors Love and Lawrence, continue to be1 the machine which runs the State senate, and runs it with a high hand. There arc plpnty of others in the senate sen-ate who know more than both of them put together and whose records arc at least as clear. Their assumption assump-tion of authority and wisdom, however, how-ever, has carried them so long that they think it will never fail. In this they may be mistaken. The Galveston Galves-ton bill we' believe is a good measure, tyit w should like to know by what authority" Senator Love pledged himself him-self to the Senate that 90 per cent of the people of Salt Lake were in favor of it. Mr. Love does not live in Salt Lake yet he undertakes to voice the sentiment of the people without knowing" or caring anyllrng about it. lie needs a pin prick to let out the hot air. Lawrence can talk longer and say less than most members of the, legislature. The twins arc running run-ning a confidence game on the senate. sen-ate. The senate possibly won't endure en-dure it a.ftcr the expiration of the sixty six-ty days of its natural life. Some of Governor Cutler's appoint-.ments, appoint-.ments, are inexplicable at least from "a party view point. It's no use trying try-ing to placate or make terms, with atd "American" party men. vThcy will receive whatever favors may be conferred up6u them and then turn agaiiv ,and rend Jhoc who granted 'them favors. The Governor seems to " Kc-unaware'df that 'fact. Not long' ago - the 'governor appointed an. "American "Ameri-can party man to a lucrative position posi-tion in the state militia. It is true the party in question renounced his H "Americanism" when he observed the salary in view but if we mis-take npt i I his renunciation had a good strong I string to it. A few days ago the gov- I crnor named two gentlemen to codi- I fy the session laws up to date. One , I of them was an implacable "Ameri- I can" and although a good fellow had , I no claim on any recognition from a I republican administration. There arc I plenty of just as capable lawyers who j I had a right to expect any plums that 1 I were to be dispensed. This codifi- j I cation will cost the state about $20,- 1 I 000 and considering the depleted I condition of tlic treasury, 'the ' Legislature should just cut, put i the appropriation for codification,- and let the lawyers shoulder j the additional work of hunting up the I session laws when they need , tp do - so in their business for a cbuple of i years longer. - J 11 What a childish thing that auti- j cigarette bill isl Wc detest cigarettes . even their odor is uauccating, but 1 anybody that thinks that bill is going I ' to stop their use -is badly mistaken. 1 It prohibits thebaic, ol cigarette, pa- I per. Suppose that is stopped, it dpsn't f prevent the sale pf tobacco and it , il ; dosn't prevent the cigarette fiend j from using a much more injurious ( m paper than that sold as cigarette pa- m per. Neither docs it prevent the cig- ( j arette dealers from establishing W wholesale houses just across the state t , If a line north, south, east and west and I H sending in the cigarette paper by I mail. Its a foolish bill and should be consigned to the waste paper basket. I |
