Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, : SALT LAKE CITY. Jan 24. Senator Kearns seems to be peculiarly unfortunate in hi selection of confidantes. Never was this better Illustrated than In the case of Postmaster Thomas, who had to make a flying trip to Washington for the purpose of saving his official scalp. As Is well known, Thomas has been a thoru in the senatorial side for some time. He hna quietly opposed the Kearns faction In politics, and has allied himself with Salisbury, Lannun, rratt. et. al., who have been putting up a vigorous fight on Kearns. The senator, however, did not rest while under Are, but calmly laid plans for disposing of Thomas, when the latter wasn't hiking. As Is quite generally known, Keurns has a bit of stand-i- n with Postmaster-Ge- n eral Payne. To Payne he carried his troubles, and that worthy, assisted by Perry Heath, succeeded In getting a set filed against Thomas. of charges were These charges approved by Payne and sent to the president with the recommendation thut Thomas be dismissed. One charge related that the postmaster had employed a negro laborer at the post office; that said negro owed Thomas a sum of money and that the sole reason for his employ ment was that the creditor was thus enabled to collect a monthly Install ment on the debt. Another wus that the postmaster had employed his own son In the postofllce as a laborer, and that while drawing his pay from the government the boy was a regular attendant at the high school. Mr. Payne suggested to the president that this as the was "graft," and. Inasmuch former postal officials now under Indictment were charged with similar offenses, in his Judgment It would be well to saw off the official head of any It man similarly suspected. Be Roosevelt with that knows, too, agreed He thought his postmaster-genera- l. so also; and the order would have been Issued In a day or two, had not some one leaked. Some of Kearn'a friends, anxious to let people know what was doing, began boasting that Thomas was to be removed and one, so it Is said, went so for as to exhibit a telegram from Washington to that effect. Thomas got to hear of It and permitted no grass to grow under his feet. This accounts for the fact that Salisbury telegraphed from San Francisco to Washington to Senator Smoot, asking him, for the sake of Justice to secure Thomas a hearing; this Is why P. II. Lannan also telegraphed to Smoot; this Is why other Republicans also telegraphed. Smoot hastened to see the president and asked if Thomas could have a hearing. That strenuous offlclnl is reported to have replied; Why, cert" The postmaster took the first train and the balance Is history. anti-Kear- ns One feature of this affair which ought not to be overlooked, because of Its comicality. In the light of recent events, was the spectacle of Sails bury and Lannun wiring Smoot whom they fought for senator with all the vigor at their command, previous to election, for help to save Thomas, and the alnrrlty with which the senator responded. topic. The unanimity which characterises their deliberations is simply remarkable and astounding. Not a dissenting voice is heard when some one suggests that Kearns must go." There is nothing to compare with it except the awful and intense silence that falls over the meeting when some member, with more temerity than the average man possesses, Intimates that it would be a good thing to raise some money for the purpose of assisting Kearns to get out of office. The thick, turgid stillness that comes over the crowd when such a thing is mentioned is usually undisturbed by a sound for entire minutes at a time. Up fellows have to date the progressed no farther than to agree that Kearns must go. Summed up, their deliberations savor strongly of a chief anti-Kear- ns effort to produce a book, the title of which Is to be, How to Beat Kearns and Not Spend a Cent A more miserly lot of Individuals would be hard to find. They are all long on principle and short on prinRealising that cipal also Interest. is needed, they have yet organisation made no effort to organise, except to talk. Knowing that expenditure Is retpilred In order to thoroughly enlighten the people, they haven't even If hinted at taking up a collection. these patriots are to defeat Kearns he will not be defeated. The only hope the state has in this particular Is democratic victory and this neck of the woods is beginning to look quite democratic. collaborate County Clerk James got a hard Jolt last week. Rome one related to him that he did not stand as good a show for that consulship at Cardiff, Wales, as he did last foil; that Senator Kearns did not have as much Influence os he once had with the president, on account of his wanting Hanna for president and Roosevelt Is discovering the situation. As a result Johnny Is with himself as to deliberating whether to run for a third term as county clerk or go back to his old business where he can shout next." He will doubtless take the latter, because Jodey Eldredge Is a candidate for the place and Jodey Is a popular youth, and has the votes of the boys who live down in the vote getting districts at his command. It looks as If it was all off with Jamea The Tribune was worsted In an action at law last Tuesday, which item of news was carefully suppressed by the syndicated newspapers of this city. Professor Robert Forrester, at the instance and request of the Tribune, wrote a live column article, accompanied by a map, on the oil Industry if Utah. It was in the nature of an expert opinion and for this service Forrester rendered a bill for $250. Managing Editor Nelson, who thinks he knows a thing or two, tendered him $25, which the geologist refused to accept. The case was tried before Judge Tanner, and, although, Manager Butler. of the Telegram, was present as a witness; although Journalist Hansen, of the News, was on the stand; although McKay of the Herald and Nelson of the Tribune also gave testimony, not a breath was there that any such thing had happened. All of these eminent and highly celebrated men of letters averred under oath that the story was worth from $5 fo $6 per column. Defendant put one newspaper man on the stand. Colonel Hughes, of Truth. He stated that ordinary news matter was worth the price stated above per column, but that in this instance the matter being in the nature of an expert opinion it was worth the money asked. The court gave Judgment for the sum asked, and granted an application for a stay of execution for fifteen days. A feature of the trial was the of Manager Butler of the Telegram who was asked if the Telegram and the Tribune were not owned by one and the same people. Powers and Llppman, attorneys for the defense, objected, but the objection was overruled on the ground that if the two papers were owned by the same parties Butler might be an Interested person and his testimony would be worth that much less. Butler squirmed uneasily in ills chair and finally admitted that they were In part. Attorney Olsen, having obtained this answer, chuckled in glee and lot Mr. Butler retire without further embarrassment.' No decision has yet been reached concerning Colonel Lannan' new paper. One of the colonel's close friends Informed your correspondent yesterday that Colonel Lannan is not very much stuck on returning to the active avocation of telling some editor what to write; directing him to give this or that person a dressing down. Then, too. there is the flnnnclal part of the program. As I related last week. Colonel Lannan although amply able to establish this paper does not want to venture his own private scads, but prefer to have his friends volunteer their assistance. Mr. Salisbury, who is slated for chief contributor. Is lounging in the balmy California climate and will not be at home for some time yet. Until he comes nothing will be done, tl Is Intimated that Salisbury wants to associate Brother McCornlck with the scheme in order to relieve Salisbury of the burden of putting up all the cash and that Rrother McCornlck has an eye on one or two others who might be Induced to come In. It will be five weeks yet ere any decision is reached. Those who read the comic supplement to one of the New York papers will note a coincidence in this.
