At Last

The and. Mormon" oracle has siren-
uously denied that It's senssless crusade
was directed against the church. Even
when IT'S own columns were brought In
evidence against f. Il denied It's own
utlcmnces.
But %, last IN an editorlal ON the
question Who Il Responsible Il ad-
mlts that the Church Is the real object
Of attack. who II asks dragged

Il has came at last, whether II N to be
followed by denial mter or mol For

contradictory propositions NJ true.
So, we are now told lhat the Church
h atuolyed but that Senator smoot is
responsible. He. It Is elegantly said,
dragged me Church into thls mesF
first by forcing himself NJ candidate
for the senate upon the stare, and then.
when the contest came by involving
the church In his answer. This II the
contention N the Tribune
We merely remark, m passing that
Senator Smoot dld not force HE candl-
dacy upon the Legislature. His cleo
ton was az regular and clean az any
ever held. Also, that the attack upon
Senator Smoot In the United stetes,was
m attack upon the Church, lnasuAh
as the accusers made ain manner OF
statements concerning the Church, In
order TO bring odlum upon the Senator
The answer given boy the Tribune to its
elegant question, who dragged the

be amended to read, the anti Nor.

This Is the unadorned truth OF the

THE WATER QUESTION.

We hope the citizens Of this city will
not forget that on the Srd OF January
they viii be called upon to vote on
proposItion OF vital interest to this COM
munlty. The city authorities ask their
constituents Tor power to bond the city
TO the extent OF a million dollars, for
the purpose OF increasing the water
supply. and extending the sewer Sys-
tenn That question the citizens must
decide. They must answer In the az
nrmative, or the negative,
The proposition has been quite thor
oughly discussed. Both sides to It have
been explained 10 the public, and We be-
lieve the citizens generally understand
what the money Is required for and
have made up their minds to vote for
The loan But II there are any who are
moi yet familiar with the proposed solu-
ton Of the water problem. they should
seek Information and form an opinion.
on this question there should be no In
different citizens An are equally inter-
ested In the water problem.
An agree that more water must be
secured, II the future OF the city is to
be one OF progress, and growth. There
is no difference OF opinion ON that part
Of the question More water means a
greater population, the increase OF man
ufacturlng facilities. increase Of the
value OF city property aud a
better market for farm pro-
ducts and consequent increase In
the value Of farms All this ls per-
fecuy well understood and all ogree on
the necessity OF move in the dlrec-
ton proposed.
n there Is any difference OF opinion
it Is on the question whether the best
obtuIrable terms of exchange have
been secured. That however is really
a secondary question Some time water
must be had O any price and u Is safe
10 say that II the business Is put on
until that time comes our children will

For few years hence the water
rights IN question Will no doubt, be
much more valuable than they are now,
The best terms obtainable have been
serurad tya understand The nueation
before the citizens Is whether they are
willing to assume the proposed lndebt-
edness, for the valuable improvements
suggested We hope every one interest
ed will vote yes on that question:
They must provide the means, and then
the city fathers will see to It that the
rights Of the city are secured and pro-
