Show fossils which we see around. Those who have watched';; the work of the present ' senate with any degree of care have been impressed with the industry,'-- ' the loyalty to his sense of duty, and the integrity of purpose of George Law- rence. He has been at the forefront of the fight against junkets, and one of the most insistent on' the senators earning the salaries they receive from the state. He has been absolutely clean in his methods, and has been absolutely frank in fighting what he considered to be wrong. At the same time his decided leaning in the direction of what he considered to be the interests of the people in general has aroused the animosity of the corporations, and it is not likely that he could be returned to the senate, even were he to aspire. He openly advocated the passage of the initiative and referendum bill; because he said the people voted for it, and He their wishes should favored compelling foreign corporations to file articles in Utah because he said it was in line with the policy of the administration of President Roosevelt. He was whipped on both these propositions, but it is safe to say that cculd he appeal to the people ip either case he would win. old -- Jt Jl The absolute hopelessness of the getting together of Democrats on the trust issue is clearly illustrated by the conditions in the senate. When Senator Lawrences bill was up to make foreign corporations that own stock in local corporations file articles and pay fees in Utah and be subject to Utah laws, it had no more bitter opponents than Bamberger and Whitmore, two Democrats. It is all right d for these Democrats to get out on the stump and knock the stuffing out of the trusts for the benefit of the voters; but when it comes to passing a bill that will prevent the sale of mining stock to eastern corporations, or sugar stock to the sugar trust, or to prevent the Standard Oil company or any other trust from coming into the state and gobbling up anything in sight and then dodging its just proportion of the tax burden, such Democrats as Bamberger and Whitmore are hand armed to the teeth to defend the interests of the trusts. It is the same old plea that capital is timid, and that if it dont get ail it wants it will stay away and let the people go to the demnition And for this reason there s. must be no law on the statute books to control them, or to make them help pay for the government that supports them. The condition of the Democracy in the state senate is the condition of the Democracy all over the nation. Just as soon as the Democrat or the Populist, for that matter, gets in op the ground floor of a trust he is as much a plutocrat as the most hidebound Republican. There is a streak of human nature even in Democrats. rock-ribbe- bow-wow- ; ! J Jit No one who has watched the work of Lou Johnson in the present senate can honestly say that the days of miracles are over. He is not only omnipresent, but he is infallible as well. He knows more about the business of making laws than all the senators and all the senate employes put together.

Here he made his last stand and here he will be when the gavel falls at the closing hour of the final When not whispering a session. stream of undiluted wisdom into the ear of Senator Lewis, Lou may be seen flitting about from senator to senator, removing obstacles and straightening out tangles. Every one familiar with the facts will readily concede at the close of the session that its success is practically all due to the omnipresence, the infallibility, the ubiquity and the assertiveness of Lou Johnson. To J9 LcU? l.hl8.nIrok, BEER. JB The representatives and the dally papers hastened to condemn some of the acts of the managers as inexcusable brutality. In doing so they overlooked the provocation. In many schools made up of average children, the red and the hand are resorted to by the best of teachers. It has even been hinted that the lack of pedagogical athletics is responsible for the pranks of students in the University of Utah.
