discussion OF the drama and the relation

Mr.. Cook talked OF the early history of the

church. He said that such plays as Ben
Hur should be strongly encouraged by the
church as they were beneficial i'm many
ways and this was one or the few uplift-

Underlying Cause of Crime.

THE ALARMING frequency of sui
eide and homicide has led the
Salt Lake daily press to com
ment on the evil effects of
the saloon, the gambling room
and lack of enforcement of the
law, all of which are alleged as causes
promoting these two great evils. That
such are, no doubt, the mediate causes
of homicide and suicide, facts prove.
But back of these causes is another,
deeper and what might be termed the
direct or immediate cause, which is
produced by infidelity and agnosticism.
Both tell the unfortunate victims that
death is the end of all things. Even
with a doubt of the future, they still
promise their deluded votaries that the
transition from this world to the next

Mormon Catholic Alliance Fiction

THE FALSE and mischieVous re-
ports of an alliance of the Cath
Ole and Mormon churches of Utah
to control public affairs in this state,
first started by the Portland Oregonian
and reiterated in roundabout way by
Frank Cannon in a public speech in
this city, have provoked comments in
the Catholic press of the east. OF
course these papers place no faith in
such reports. How could they do so,
rightly divining that Catholics of Utah
are not different from Catholics else
where, and that the Catholic concep-
ton of citizenship with it's obligations
is the same all over the country? No
where would the Catholic laity tolerate
an alliance such as that reported to be
made in Utah. Nowhere could such
plan be carried out, because Catho-
lies hold strong convictions regarding
the limit of clerical meddling with poll
itics.
These Catholic papers are not to be
blamed for getting things a little bit
mixed and sometimes going far astray
when treating of Utah, its political and
social conditions. For example, a par
agraph in the New World of Chicago,
errs in saying that 1.-The whole Mormon
church is bending every effort to elect
Apostle Reed Smoot to the seat now
filed by Senator Kearns, who is
Catholic and a Republican" Apostle
Reed Smoot will, if elected, succeed to
the place now filled by Senator Raw
Inns, who is a Democrat and nom
Mormon. Senator Kearns' term does
not expire until 1906.
The error is one which any Catholic
or secular paper might pardonably
make, unacquainted with public affairs
of Utah. Trihing as it appears, it pro-
yokes a comment by the editor of the
New World which is misleading. So
far from any Mormon attack on SEN
ator Kearns because he is a Catholic.
that gentleman is actually working for
the election of Smoot because he is a
Mormon. The incongruity of such pro-
ceeding is SO apparent to the eastern

Where, then, is the crime of turning a
few ounces of blood out of their ma
tural channel?' The effect of these two
sentences on a friend was so great that
next day he shot himself.
Where these crimes are not the effect
of insanity, it is needless to seek for
other cause than that produced by in
fidelity and it's latest development, aS-
Mysticism. We are prone to boast OF
the enlightenment of the age; but en-
lightenment, tainted with pride and de-
void of moral and Christian principles,
can not avert dreadful evils when the
trials, crosses and failures of this life
present themselves.
The most enlightened of the old pa
gans, when their pride was wounded or
their submission demanded, committed
suicide. Hannibal carried poison in his
ring to be used when he considered this
life not worth living. 1t came, as 1t is
sure to come to every mortal at some
period, and he took the fatal dose.
Rather than surrender to Alexander,
Demosthenes took poison. The great
orator. Isocrates, to avoid submission
to Philip of Macedon, starved himself.
Cato would not submit to Caesar, and
to escape the consequences of his re-
bellious nature, he slew himself Three
ia,
each time he opened the gaping scars.
Christianity tells OF the awful con-
sequences meted out to murderers and
suicides. Infidelity and agnosticism
call this superstition, and that cry has
SO persistently gone up that its effects
are apparent In 1898 the Chicago Trf-
bune published criminal statistics for
that year-109 persons lynched, 1910
murders, $500 understanding total
of 1860 Illegal murders. All this in
the most enlightened country in the
world
No true Christian, unless he is abso-
lutely insane, will take his own life. The
direct and immediate cause of this
wholesale slaughter of man, the noblest
of Gods creatures, whether by his own
hand or that of another, is the teaching
of infdelity and agnosticism. To rem
edy the evil, begin with the youth and
instill into their minds sound moral
principles. Let parents by their exam-
pie lead them up to the plane of good
Christians. When those same youths
grow to manhood and become the
countrys legislators, they will regu-
ate the saloon, the gambling den, and
make life and pronertY safe.

Our Unitarian Brethren.

HE SERIES of articles appearing
on the front page of this paper,
pointing out the errors of Uni
tarianism. have awakened considerable
local interest. 1t gave the writer on
portunity to explain Catholic truth at

the objections raised by our Unitarian
friends against the chief articles of
Christian belief With these obstacles
removed from the Unitarian mind, rea-
son could lead them to embrace none
other than the Catholic church. and
they would become excellent converts.
The Unitarians are the most intellec-
tual of the Protestant sects. and the
most tolerant. They are not afraid to
encounter truth; rather are they in
search of it.. Their detection from Con-
gregational orthodoxy, soma seventy
i've years ago, was a healthy movement
towards intellectual and moral freedom.

covet Unitarians for converts more
than they do any other outsiders. Let
US pray fervently for them, that they
may see the light to exchange nothing
for everything-the desert for Paradise.

The Tribune's Fake Story.

WHEN Bishop Seaman composed
! wv himself to rest on Wednesday
night, little did he dream that en-
the following morning he would
awake to find himself richer by
one hundred thousand big, hard
Mexican dollars. He did not ex-
pect any such windfall as a result of
the division of the Pious Fund; but the
Salt Lake Tribune, which is better
posted than ecclesiastical authorities,
knew all along that this would be his
share of the award. The Tribune made
prediction to this effect some tina
ago. To be explicit, not long after the
decision rendered at The Hague. 1t
recalls this prophesy with no little unc-
ton. and felicitates the bishop of Salt
Lake on the result. Great prophet!
Most wonderful, most enterprising
Tribunei
There is nothing now in the way of
applying this sum towards the compile
ton of the new cathedral, which the
Tribune suggests-nothing but the dis
covery that the Tribune's story is only
a pipe dream. No such sum of money
has been set apart for the diocese of
Salt Lake. nor has any sum been set
apart. Neither is it known that Utah
will receive any portion of the Pious
fund. No information has reached
Bishop Scanlan concerning such mat
ter. This being true, everything said
in the Tribune and purporting to come
from Bishop Seaman is false. He had
no interview with any Tribune repre-
sentative touching this disposition of
the Pious fund, although it is made
plain in the Tribune's report that the
bishop furnished the information upon
which the sensational account is based.
Such liberties constitute an offense to
clean, reliable Journalism.
In attempting to run down the per-
son who might have given the Tribune
tips for its sensational SCOOP, the
writer has been informed that a COM
mercial drummer told friend in this
city that another friend in Idaho told
him that Utah and Idaho would get
good lump of money out Of the Pious
fund So, putting this and that to-
gether,'' it needed only an enterprising
reporter to place a hundred thousand
Mexican dollars upon Bishop Scanlan's
porch bright and early Thursday morn
ing.

mind, and to the Catholic mind, that
| it needs explanation.
In Utah, all who are not members of
the Mormon church are classed as
Gentiles, be they Catholics or Protest
ants, Jews or infidels. There are DEM
ocratic Mormons and Republican Cen
tiles, Gentle Democrats and Mormon
RepublicanS-no attempt succeeding to
emasculate the adjective from the mind
and hardly from the speech of individ-
ual partisans. Political offices are di-
vided between Gentiles and Mormons.
Party leaders instinctively perceive the
equity of arrangement and avoid the
danger of loading down party tickets
with either too many Gentiles or too
many Mormons. This plan obtains in
cities of the state where Gentiles and
Mormons are equally divided, or nearly
so. Outside the two principal cities
and the mining camps, Gentiles are few
and far between. The Mormons en-
brace IS per cent of the total popula-
ton.
At the time Thomas Kearns was a
candidate before the legislature the
race for the senate was conceded to
Gentiles, nearly all of whom were per-
sons of wealth, as is usually the por-
ton Of men in this western country as
piring to exalted position. A year or
two before, Kearns financially aided the
Mormon church and lifted its bond is
sue. In other ways he gave substantial
encouragement to Mormon enterprises.
All such things count and help can
didate; they certainly could not and did
not harm his chances for election.
Then, perhaps, Kearns really did make
the alleged bargain with the Mormon
church officials, a bargain which ex-
acted from him pledge to work for
Apostle Smoot as a reward for the
church's part in his (KearnsO election.
But whatever Kearns did in order to
obtain the number of votes to elect,
those votes were not cast for Thomas
Kearns the Catholic but for Thomas
kearns the Gentle. To put it stronger.
these legislative votes were cast for
Thomas Kearns of the Silver King
mine. Without the Silver King, Tom
Kearns' religion would be bar to
political honor in Utah.
1t is only natural that Senator Kearns
should wish to succeed himself. To do
so, the way must be cleared for the
election of a Mormon to the United
States senate by the legislature just
chosen. Hence Apostle Smoot is
Kearns' choice because Smoot is the
choice of the church leaders. That
Smoot is an apostle, that he might sub
ordinate the state to the church as
Utah's representative in the federal
does not appear to worry Sem
ator Kearns, not any more than if
Smoot were only an ordinary bishop of
a ward stake. 1t is a game of politics,
and Tom Kearns is politician. That
is all there is to it. That is all there is
to this fable of Catholic and Mormon
alliance in Utah.
The political status of Catholics in
Utah has not been disturbed in the
least No attempt has been made by
either cleric or Catholic layman of
wealth to change the vote of Catholic
citizens one way or another. Such a
thing is impossible with intelligent
Catholics. Wealth could not do it if
it would the other would not do it if
it could.

MINERS AND THE COMMISSION.

The mine workers whom the Suns

the top of the shaft on All Saints day,
gave their opinion freely respecting
the commissioners. They count upon
Bishop Spalding ito look out for the
boys, because he seems ever so much
interested in the youngsters Mr..
Clark, who was once a laboring man,
is picked among the number. of their
friends. So is Mr.. Wright. When Mr..
Watkins name is mentioned they
shake their heads and recall the fact
that he was once an operator. They
fancy, too, that the danger encount-
cred by miners will not appeal much
to General Wilson, whose eyes have
becomes Injured to the slaughter of the
battlefield. They are philosophers in
their way and it would be worse than
folly to place on the commission men
upon whom they are unable to build
an absolute trust.
By a strange coincidence, two min
ers were killed in the first two mines
visited by the commissioners. The
death of the unfortunates is, of course,
deplored, but the workers no doubt
feel sure the the element of danger
always to be encountered, will not now
be overlooked by the commission. Nor
should it be. The men who take their
lives in their hands and grope about
amid eternal darkness, should receive
some recompense for the hazard which
they make of their lives. It would be
a healthy thing for many of US to re-
fleet as we sit in comfort beside our
radiators that every degree of heat
which pervades our apartments was
purchased by the sweat and Drawn
and mortal danger of our fellows who
complain that they are not sufficiently
reimbursed for all that they do and
all that they risk in order to procure
a reasonable share of the comfort
which they serve to diffuse among so
many millions.-Catholic Transcript.

THE CATHOLIC AND THE SAXON.


The Indiana State Baptist associ-
alton is a bit under the influence of
the Champagne" atmosphere of this
part of the world. 1.-THE immigrants
from Roman Catholic countries would,
if they could, reduce all Protestant
churches to ashes" 1.-The Anglo-Saxon
race. was born to rule the world"
The first of these statements is hys-
tercial. The second is worse. 1t is a
vile mixture of lf-consciousness and
braggadocio.
With regard to the Roman Catholic
church, people who read the statistics
of church attendance will not deny
that the Roman Catholics are entitled
by their numbers to respectful con-
sideration in the religious world Cath
Ole churches crowded to the doors,
Protestant churches, asking what is
the matter with the workingmen-tha
seems to be the situation. The daily
newspaper cannot say whether Cath
olics or Protestants are better fitted
to guide the workingman in the right
direction. All it can do is to point
out external facts. With the Catholic
performing a large religious service,
is 1t well for Protestants to take them
to task?
With regard, next, to the Anglo
Saxon race it cannot but occur to the
reader of current literature that there
is a great deal of Anglo-Saxon talk
which lacks that quality of reserve on
which Anglo-Saxons used to pride
themselves. In the Stalky stories, when
Mr.. Kipling brings a canting, ranting
lingo down to school where most
of the boys expect to risk their lives
for their country, the speech which the
lingo makes is received with cordial
disapproval. Jelly bellied flag flap
per" is the Homeric epithet he gets.
The boys are outraged to hear him
bring their most secret patriotic am
billions out into a broad, ugly light
of crude statement. Similarly, Mr.
Hovey speaks in one of his poems
about the Anglo-Saxons who do not
chatter but who understand. Can such
praise last now? On all sides we see
the AngloSaxon doing dithyrambic
dance in a most Anglo-Saxon way and
insisting that he is the future ruler
of the human race. If he is he ought
to keep little quieter about it. There
is no reason why he should give his
purpose away. Besides, the man who
is forever talking about his future is
a bore. An occasional guess at the
part which the Anglo Saxon race IL
to play in the future history of the
world is excusable. A constant bleat-
ing about it is intolerable. Is the
Saxon becoming Gallicized
