Tho Journal, our distinguished con- (I temporary, Is apparently not in liar- jj roony with the key noto address of I Senatorial Candidate Hon. James II. Moyle. In this address Mr. Moyle said: "As to my opponent, mid I take 1 i It for granted thero will bo but ,m , the ono, I respect him as a gentle- . man hud citizen, and would havo 1 him so respected and treated by all. ' ! I trust that personalities will bo reduced to a minimum. The Usuo will be clear cut. IIo reprcsests j that In politics which I do not. His , i I party representa that which cur I' JJ party does not. Wo havo ample :J j nnd, broad grounds, upon whlsh to ' ' contest this election without of- l ' fenslvo persoualltlea." ' These woro words becoming a gen- U, tleman.a dlgnlflod gentleman such as I we bellevo, and want to still believe i Mr. Moyle to be, and wero words that ' certainly" found favorable echo In tho i ' hearts ot practically all the citizens ' ,. ofthostato. Our contemporary, how- In ever, seems to bo among tho very I r'l few who do not agreo with Mr. 'Moyle m nnd Instead of following tho lint! of m the address it continues to pour forth is Its vile, vicious slush against "mat- Jm or Smoot. And when Its editor is rff liard up for n hand full, and his over II v M wotked brain fulls to respond, no (lllfl al up his columns with stuff of the biuno W odor from publications of lesser mug- W nltiide. Well, never mind, porhaps tho jl'W Utah Senator will contluuo to llvo, ill breathe, and havo his being, to cere ' J tlmio to pr.y his debts llko an honi-st fll man, nnd go on working for tho slnto mt of Utah, notwithstanding this frantic Sj effort on tho part of Tho Journil At m least let us hope so, for a killing fiom Hj; such n sourco would bo awful.

Thco- , dore noosovclt has put his voice away ffjHlW In moth balls for tho summer on the mlvlco of a ve.'y accommodating Lon-t!tn Lon-t!tn Bpcclalist, Sir St. Clnlr Thomas. Ah, Theodore, wlso o'.d head,' you are not the first to discover that si-lenco si-lenco Is golden when tho pres'dentlal boom of h big country Is still in tho formative period, Blessed little boo that buzzeth so soothingly near the ear, going on forover like the River of Doubt. "Thero is a tide in tho affairs ot men that take at tho flood leads on to fortune" Onco moro wo make obeslcnce, salaams, and profound -apology to Mr. Darling who neither said It nor wrote It. 'Transgressing onco moro on tho publfc domain ot pungent philosophy "Many men havo been sorry; for tho things they said, but few havo regrotted holding their tongues." Candidly, we aro all sorry that tho sight ot a Bull Moose crossed with a Donkey has mado Teddy Da noose speechless and revived visions of a great big standard and registered Elephant coming back strong. This man, T. It. always was a good sport and he has done entirely too much for tho Smithsonian Instltuto to fall for this cl.rcus stunt ot the Dcm-crats Dcm-crats and Progressives. Just because tho man lives at Oyster Bay Is no reason that hoa Is a lobster. From the River ot Doubt and tho Lost Chord great things should come. With a summer of silence Mr. Rosenfelt should be In lino fettle for his now declaration of principles. When the mountains como to hfm ho will be ready to receive them In bis vigorous way. . "Dee-lighted ! " And "agalnT "How"do you do, old friend? It's good to bo home again." When Mr. Busoveldt's volco comes out ot travail these and similar expressions will be the simplest sim-plest and easiest for him to practice on. For Is It not true Mr. Darling that "First love will with the heart remain, re-main, When long years have gone by. Like frail rose blossoms still "retain, Their fragrance when they flte?" So the Bull Moose bark Is drifting without a leader. Tho man who put tho gin In ginger has suspended publication. pub-lication. Who knows what that voice will say when It comes back? Is It not reasonable to expect that tho wisdom wis-dom that marked his political career will roturn when the spoil Is broken? In tho meantime can Qcorgo W. Perkins Per-kins convince his diminishing followers follow-ers that he is sincere Not long ago a man asked this question: "Is Perkins, Per-kins, honest?" No, it was not Mr. Darling it was Perkins, himself. You know sometimes a man gets shaky about himself. But Perkins reserved re-served the right to answer his own question and here Is tho touchtug tribute ho paid to himself: "It was tho night before Albert J. Bovorldgo delivered his keynote speech ot the new political crusade. IIo asked Colonel Roosevelt, Georgo W. Porklns and a fow other leaders to como to his room and hear him read his manuscript. Tho reading proceeded pro-ceeded In tense silence. Bovorldge was evidently laboring under emotion and Colonel noosovolt was himself visibly jnoved. Hut on George W. Perkins' cheeks tears wero coursing and when Bovorldgo came to tuo?o passages In which ho outlined tho courso of Justlco for tho mon who mako .tho nation, Perkins, with n sob ho.could not stino, hastily left tbo room nnd paced tho corridors to re- gain his selt control.' To got tho best effect this should be read whllo tho orchestra U ploying ploy-ing a dirge and the audience should bo supplied with red bandanna to sop up tho sniffles. It could not havo been moro pathetic had ho gona out In tho deserted street and embraced a lamp post or taken a rldo In a tnxl with n Chinaman to lfoop him com- pany. pipe Porklns. Is ho honest? Ask Perkins. v Will this apostlo ot truth tnko tho Bull Moose by tho horns and set Bev-erldgo Bev-erldgo astrldo htm? Well, lot him do-it. But. right now thp Elcp'.iaal looks like the best bet for tho men who strayed nwny. Ogden Kxamta- er i |
