Show DAILY UTAH STATE OGDEN, UTAH. J. CANNON, TUESDAY, JANUARY Senator Kearns has done a commendable thing in initiating proceedings looking to the payment of Utah men for services rendered the government during Indian troubles of past yearsr and it is sincerely hoped that his efforts EDITOR. TIME FOR ACTION, will be Very soon the party conventions be will called, and shortly after that they held. The judicial conventions will be held first and separately, which is altogether will unproper, though they, like the others, doubtedly make party nominations. Of course there is plenty of time, but why squander it before aimlessly in waiting for it to be less ? Let done is anything of a practical nature us be up and doing NOW. The coming election will be one of the most United States important in the annals of the and the most important in the history of this state. It takes in the whole list of elective officers legislative, executive and judicial. The legislature to be chosen will in the successor of Thomas Kearns, perhaps of his colleague, and it is a matter worth the while of Democrats and all good citizens to begin preparing themselves for. Much can be done by timely, judicious action ; much can be, as much has been, lost by easy-goin- g methods, letting the thief of time get in his nefarious wrork unnoticed and unchallenged. Let us be preparing ! Let us Get To- turn-choos- in this behalf will be crowned with success. The mbuey was fairly earned a long time ago, so long in fact that if it be paid at last it will in many if not a majority of instances go to the heirs of those who earned it ; no matter, it is better late than not at all. The manner in which successive administrations have ignored these claims, treating them with contempt, as it were, is nothing more or less than disgraceful, and if the senior senator shall be the means of bringing the delinquents to time he will be entitled to praise and gratitude and be the recipient of plenty of both. The State Journal has no quarrel with Senator Kearns or anyone else because of dif- e gether. " QUOVADISr ' ferences of opinion only.

SUPREME JUSTICE HARLAN. presumably) the nation's great men congreIn plain, blunt language, such as is used gate to make law's must follow at least, it by the plain, common people, John D. Rockefeller is probably the greatest commercial pirate of all the ages. Jay Gould's intentions were probably just as good, and Gould was just as masterful a man, but in the decades ago, when Gould lived, operated and prospered, there was less to steal, than at present. Goulds piratical manipulations came in the wake of a bloody, fratricidal war, which almost devastated the country and the seventy-millions secured by Gould represented nearly everything tangible. The residue was Then tied ' down and was not stealable. Gould died. John D. Rockefeller still lives and flourishes, like the proverbial green bay tree. Furthermore, Rockefeller, senior, has a son and it may be remarked parenthetically that the son is a chip of the old block. It is estimated that the Rockefeller interests control a billion and a half of dollars, which is about twice the circulating medium of the United States. He controls 200 banks. He controls the oil, copper, tin and steel interests of the country and, consequently, of the world. Besides this he is a director in several hundred other big corporations and indusfive . tries. John D. Rockefellers gigantic operations cover a period of about thirty years. Is it any wonder then that the questions should be asked, Whither are we drifting ? and Whence cometh thou ? At this ratio and as the country and its industries expand and as opportunities for piracy on a stupendous scale increase, what will be the condition of the country in three mere decades; who will own the industries and commerce of the country in fifty years ? fabulous wealth Already the once of the Rothschilds and the really fabulous riches of Monte Cristo pale into insignificance beside the Rockefeller billions. Time was when no European prince could go to war without the Rothschilds' consent To-da- y Rockefeller could plunge the entire world into war, could paralyze every human industry or could bring about universal peace. He will probably do neither, just yet. But it is an interesting question, What will be the end ? did follow. He did not possess the qualificaof the school boys of tion which nine-tentthis country over fifteen years of age have, a fairly good education. With the exception of membership in the State Constitutional convention his political experiences were nil, and his knowledge of law was limited to being defendant in two or thre? cases. Striking it rich swept aside all this and made him a fit object for the senatorial toga to fall upon. Shall such things receive countenance and continue, or be frowned down and out ? Shall we have a plutocratic oligarchy, or maintain some semblance of the plan designed by the founders ? Wealth is no detriment far from it. It is a great and good thing to have. Those who have it by honest means are entitled to the fullest protection in its possession1, and the absence of unjust restrictions in its enjoyment. It does not follow', however, that it'islhS 'sine qua non that the owner of it hhsvthereby complete absolution from condemnation for the bad things he does or the right to all things to which he takes a fancy. ; Let Senator Kearns continue doing as many good things for his constituents as he can and resist the doing of bad ones by others as much as possible. All these will be cheerfully noted and praised in these columns. As a miner he is a success, as a statesman he is a failure, and for his own sake he should do those things in life for w'hich nature has endowed him. Most men w'ould be glad to have his measure of fortune1 Vi thout a senatorship. Representative Haskins : Personal Pointers; J. W. Lyons, a newspaper man from Denver, is an Ogden visitor. X. B.
