Show UTAH STATE JOURNAL, DAILY 4 R00SEVELTIAN UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. A fearless and AN EXTRAOREINARY NEED. to this paper agrees with the recent editorial of the State Journal, in which theviewis promulgated that our present congressional delegation is not composed of theablest Republicans of the state but that the two senators and t he representative are stronger and more competent than the average of their party. And then the correspondent asks why, in view of their possession of more than average ability, they have allowed the present opposition to grow and intensify until instead of being the most popular of the new states she has become the most unpopular. The trouble is not that Senators Kearns and Smoot and Representative Howell are not able men, but that they are not extraordinarily able. Utah has been involved in a controversy with the government which requires on the part of one of them at least Senator Reed Smoot the exercise of exalted genius if he would protect the people of this state from the consequences of his own overweening ambition. He does not possess that immortal fire. Senator Kearns makes no pretention to it and he could not use it advantageously in this case if he had it; in fact it is probable that if Kearns had made the ablest speech that any Republican in his situation could produce, he would have been regarded as a butter in" and he would have accomplished nothing but to breed bitterness and concentrate contention against his colleague. Naturally Congressman Howell has no voice in the matter. And there you are. Let our correspondent weigh the followA correspondent writing- - ing propositions: If the Republican party had desired to send Apostle Smoot to the senate, provoking a controversy of the kind which has resulted, it should have previously sent as his colleague a man who is the ablest orator and debater of his party to stand in front of Smoot and defend him to the people to act as a pilot engine, as it were, and see that the track was made clear for the apostle. On the other hand if it had desired to send a shrewd, clever getter of good things for his people like Kearns, it should have sent as his colleague to succeed the superb Rawlins, a Republican whose presence in the senate would not have awakened public indignation and who would have operated with the senior senator on terms of fraternity and energetic labor in behalf of the needs and public repute of Utah. The blame attaches to the Republican parin this state and it cannot be shifted ty from the party shoulders by any abuse of Senator Kearns. No conflict had arisen with the people of the United States, that affected the whole state of Utah, until the Republican party allowed Apostle Smoot, because of his high ecclesiastical position, to sway its vote in the legislative assembly to himself. We repeat that if he had not been elected, his party organs never would have dreamed of calling Senator Kearns a hypocrite and an ignoramus. They and the party followers would still have been worshipping at the shrine of the man whose wealth at home is dispensed with a liberal hand and whose influence at Washington is used for the benefit of his state and his party friends. The Republican party might have chosen Sutherland or Allison, Howell or Devine, E. H. Anderson or Snyder, as a colleague for Kearns, and no one would ever have heard of the present trouble; and, while the local Republican party might not have called the delegation abler than it now is, the lack of extraordinary need would not have been so painfully apparent. The San Francisco Examiner has a long and brilliant editorial under the head, The earth is only a front yard. The real man of the future will have his greatest interests far outside of our little rolling sphere. Coming from a man whose largest interests were recently comprised in an aspiration to be nominated for the presidency of the mere United States this sounds like hedging. Japan has brilliant correspondent The of Courier-Journ- al self-respecti- ng all law. The " I has been describing the manner in which the Roosevelts hold court in the White House; and if her statements are true every decent American ought to enter his protest against the apelike antics of the accidental inhabitants of that noble mansion. Recently while the president was chatting with visitors in one of the rooms, the re entered an elderly woman of sweet face and gentle demeanor. Awaiting her turn to greet Mr. Roosevelt, and being wearied she languidly dropped into an easy chair. A military attache of the president, wearing uniform and a saber, rushed immediately to her and insolentDon't you know that it is not ly inquired: permissable to sit in the presence of the presiThe American dent or Mrs. Roosevelt?" wife and mother said: I wonder who made the rule. And then she left the room. This same rule was enforced with such impertinent looks against a prominent senator's wife who was afflicted with rheumatism and who was compelled to sit down in the presence of Mrs. Roosevelt, that she departed from the White House and neither she nor her husband has accepted any invitation from the Roosevelt family since that time. What are these people trying to do? With a superficial manner of breeziness which causes the superficial masses of the country to think of him as a typical American, Mr. Roosevelt has done more to lend a vice regal air in fact a vicious regal air to the White House than any other president in the history of the country. For the first time since the foundation of the government the persons attendant in subordinate station at the White House are dressed in uniform or livery. The person of the president is sacred from even the wandering photographer. Mrs. Roose velt is a queen in whose presence it is lese majeste to sit. Miss Roosevelts invitations are considered as commands. Only a few days ago Lew Dockstader, a wandering minstrel, had some moving pictures taken in front of the capitol intending to use them to illustrate his stage monologue. A person made up to represent Theodore Roosevelt appeared as a figure in the pictures. Dockstader was pursued by secret service men and was forced to yield up the pictures at their demand. There was no law against the taking of the pictures; no law against the man'shaving them in his possession; no law against his presenting them on the public stage; but President Roosevelt is superior to the Louisville FRANK J.

San Francisco Chronicle heads its a forthcoming dramatic event with this for a big, black headline: Maude Adams is coming home, and says: '.California has given a great many clever people to the stage but none who has won such a perfect and artistic fame in the East as Maude Adams. Merely to illustrate the joke and not to insult Miss Adams who has a tender place in every Utah heart, this shifting home business reminds us of the way Colonel Trumbo used to work it. He was born in Carson City, at that time a part of the territory of Utah but now the capital of Nevada. His people were Kentuckians. When the colonel wanted to be senator from this state, he claimed to be Utah born; when he wanted to receive favorable attention in Nevada he claimed Carson City as his birthplace; when he watited to be governor of California, he stated that he first saw the light near the California line and therefore was a Native Son of the Golden West; and when he was down East he said that he was a scion of the Blue-graState. he had commonwealths on other his Perhaps string for other occasions.
