Reed Smoot which peared yesterday in this paper from the l apDes- eret News is a very straightforward statement of the junior senator's position. He is quite within his rights when he thus asserts himself iu public print. But while praising him for outspokenness, the reader is still justified in wondering what malignant sprite whisers counsel in the ju nior senator's ear. lie practically vindicates the charge of the. opposition, that is dictating a choice for the governorship, and to this a thoughtful citizen may add that extraneous circumstances prove that he has attempted a dictation of the remainder of the Republican ticket. Candor is one of the first requsites, but not the only one required for success in high political career. In view of the junior senator's situation at Washington it has occurred to most of his fellow citizens in Utah that prudence should accompany courage that one was quite enough for him, that he should refrain from seeking to command the place now occupied by the senior senator, and also refrain from taking personal part in naming his party ticket for the state election. Nothing of real advantage can accrue to the senator in attempting to control his party maEvery act of his, in this direction, chinery. and volume to the charge which is force gives made at Washington that his ecclesiastical position is his chief political asset. Strong as is his letter, it does not dissipate but rather sufficiently confirms the allegations; and while one may praise his courage, the discriminating mind will equally condemn his imprudence. . sen-atorsh- ip si j unpro-gressl- ve ne-- . first-clas- fall-ur- e anti-Americ- an THE CAUSE OF THE BURNING.
