I STRAIGHT TALK ON
POLITICS
The Progressives of Salt Lake City
are flirting with ftfiej Democracy, that
shy old maid of many summers. Vac
He It Lake organ of (he party says:
There has been a vgreat deal o
talk about the Democrats and Bull
Moose rs joining on a fusion candidate
i to run against him (Rood Smoot.i
Some of the proposed andidates from (
the Democratic lanks are utterly 1111
possible They could not Bold o
per cent of the vote of their own pat
ty nor L'.'i per cent of I he Bull Moo-e
party. Smoof himself Is preferabh
to tome names mentioned We want
a man of sterling principles. ft'DOa
promise is worth listening to
want a man ot character and fixed
nrinclrilen a man who has sumo milk
I of human kindness In hi elns. some
braln3 in his head, some courage in
his heart and a groat deal of moral
fiber in hie makeup. If the Democrai
ic party has no such a man to offer
the Bull Moose party has."
Why the question of combining with
the Democrats should be entertained
for a moment by the former incmberr.
of the party of Lincoln and Blaine fs
beyond us. The present Democratic
national administration has discriml
nated, in its tariff revision, against
every industry in Utah that neods
protection, while many eastern Indus
tries known to be so highly prospei
0U6 as not to require tariff, have
been retained on the protected list,
furthermore, there Is a big element
of reactionaries in the Democratic par
ty who have never been made to sec
the error of their ways
The Republican parly, within tne
past two years, has had a terrible ex
perience. The punishment has beat
60 severe 3 to bo chastening, bo
much so that we firmly believe even
the extreme standpatters arc- toda
ready to confess their faults and ac I
cept the new order of things. ai
least we believe there are greater
prospect- of thoroughly reorganizing
and purifying tha Republican parry
than there I redeeming tb ic
mor racy
We arc convinced that there is niorp
hope for- the SUCOeaefUl transplanting
p the Progressive irec roots, trunk
yptj brani ijjej, In Republican soil thai
in that of Democrat
The Progressive! should make their
1 1 r a i overtures to their former pollt
leal eomradas, inviting them to a rail
confession of sins and a complete
acptajMta bt the cardinal principle
hack tk the great reforms for which
:he Progressive party is eontendin.f
We fear that the bitterness of the
fighl within the Republican part
still rankles in the breasts of sonic
I of the Progressives of Salt Lake auo
that there is a spirit of revengf
I which will not down, but the Standard
'does not harbor any ill will for any
of our old political associates and
would rejoice, if they all could be
made lo see as we do.
There is Reed Smoot. who Is in
ferred to W ere he to accept thp
Progressive doctrine, we know of
none who would extend to him a
heartier welcome back to the rank;
of a rejuvenated, reorganized part)
than the Standard. And, by the way
we observe that of lata the senator
has been voting with the ProgreFsn e.
cn many important measures before
congress, and we take it, he is quell
Fying to help lead his party out of th
morass into which It floundered In
the dark days prior to the campaign
of last year
ELECTRIC SHOCKS WHILE BATH
ING DANGEROUS
warning of the danger from elec
trie shock in a bath tub is given by
a Tnris paper, Cosmos, which explain?
xhy an electric shock that might not
be serious at other times, is a real
source of dancer when the euria ! of
the body is moisi
Balthazard," says Cosmos, "has re
centlj told at the Society of legal
Medicine, of the case of a lady killed
by electric shock in her bathroom, at
at the moment when she was pressing
the button of an electric bell, bet wren
the poles of which there r.as a dif
ference of potential of not more than
110 volts.
"In ordinary circumstance?, owing
to the great resistance of the human
body, inch a small electromotive force
Breaenta no great danger: but when
the cir. ult contains, as in the case re
ported, a laige surface of moist skin,
the resistance falls and more than 100
milliamperes may pass through the
organism, sufficient, at this tension, to
produce death by tetani7.atlon of re
spiratory muscles.
"Currents of even 4K volts are dang
erous In a lathroom It should be re-
, membered that currents of feeble in
I renslty can produce a sudden rise pi
arterial tension capable of causing
' sudden death in a person with a weak
heart.
I High tensions, enabling currents of
! i to 5 amperes to pass, have quite a
different effect. They do not general
, ly taute death, because the modlfica
tion.s of the tissue produced a' the
poini ot ( out ict at once oppose a r"n
liderahie resistance to the paaeagp of
the current The Intensity within the
organism is nol suiflcient to cause
tetanizatlon nf the respiratory muscles
and the lesions are, usually, purely
local.
"Socquet has also observed a case
of electrocution with an electromotive
force much lower than HO volts
There was no burn at the point where
the current entered, but at the autop
sy the luncs showed the characteris
tic lesions of asphyxia and even act
ual laceration."
GAINING RESPECT FOR
UNITED STATES.
That there has come an awakening
to those Mexicans who a short lime
were eager to teat the streugth ot
the United States is the opinion ot
the Bultc. Miner, which says:
'Those Meii an soldiers who aie
hastening to the Cnited States for
protection, doubtless have an entirely
different erslon at to this natioD
than they had fuat a short time ago
when they seemed so Inflamed with
the desire to try conclusions with
Cncle Sams troops On In dense ir
noranee makes many Mexicans think
that their country could cope success
fully whh this republic. -Now that
the constitutionalist lc(orios arc
causing some of the Huertan soldiers
to desert and flee to this country
many Mexicans are coming to theit
senses as to the greatness of this na
tlon The constitutionalists have
kept in closer touch with the United
Slates and. of course, they have no
false idea? as to their ability to op
pose this COUptry Thus Mexico grad
pally, but surely is coming to a much
better knowledge of what this repub
He Is and whar it represents. 60 that
when peace shall have been restore
in Mexico, the advice of Uncle Sam
will be heeded there pf never before

NEW ZEALAND BUTTER
