brought to the attention of the Com

and it is more than likely Senator
Cannon will be asked to come to
Washington and tell his side of the
case. 1t is claimed that his excom-
munication without giving him the
right to prove his charges is un-
American and should not be toler-
ated.

the case edltorially under caption,
''Two Mormons," as follows:

States Senator Frank ]. Cannon. by
the Mormon church there is large OPP
portunity for thoughtful considera-

the church for spostacy and disloy-
atty, both of which may be regarded
as serious offenses if proven. The
reason for his condemnation was his
criticism of the church leaders for
violation of the laws of the State and
Nation. He offered to prove his al
legation If given the chance, but the
opportunity was denied him and he

was expelled without the opportunity
to defend himself.
That, the whole world is informed,
is the fate of the Mormon who dares
protest when the laws of the Nation
are openly ,disregarded and who
dares to reform his own church from
within. That is the exemplification
of the ACCESSIBILITY of following the
Mormon 'mind-your-own business
policy an of defying the National
Government to obtain evidence and
gain conviction of fragrant violations
of the law.
''There is another Mormon who
has taken a course opposite to that of
the accommodated Cannon. This
Mormon is Apostle Reed Smoot, who
fills the seat which Cannon once had
in the United States Senate. Far
from being ostracised by the church
he is honored by it and stands In
the line of succession to the headship
of the Mormon church not only of
Utah, but of the whole world. What

shoulders, how has his course differed

TIL BIZ SALT Trust
Idaho Wool Grover, Association
Has Purchased Salt PLANT
h Utah.

Salt for stock feeding purposes
has taken tumble during the past
few days, the price being reduced
more than one-half, says the Capital
News. Prior to the first .of March
salt was selling at all points for Sc. 05
per ton, F.. 0. B. The railroad rate
from Utah to Boise was SO per ton
which made it cost s15. 30 laid down
in Boise. Through the efforts of the
Idaho Wool Growers association the
railroad company reduced the rate to
80 per ton, making the cost s14. 80
per ton.
The reduction in the price of salt
was brought about through the action
of the Idaho Wool Growers assooia-
tion in purchasing the great Western
plant on the Lucien cutoff, II miles
from Ogden. The association pur-
chased the plant on March 2, taking
possession of the works few days
later. AS soon as the association
purchased the Great Western plant
the trust reduced the price to SO. so.
AS soon as the association came into
possession Of the plant 1t put the
price down at IS. The trust came
back with cut to s2.5 which was
promptly met by the association and
the fight is now on to the finish.
The Great Western plant which the
Idaho Wool Growers association pur-
chased has an annual output of 90,
600, the Idaho wool growers consum-
ing 5000 tons.

OLD JOHN CAMPBELL
IN TROUBLE AGAIN
Police Say That He Always Goes
Wrong When Pension Day
Rolls Around.

Poor old John Campbell is in the tolls
again. He is sixty-three years old, and
acquitted himself admirably at the bat
tie of Antietam, but his conduct on
Pennsylvania avenue last night was any
thing but commendable. and that is the
reason ne is now locked up in a cell in
the Sixth precinct station with the word
vagrancy written opposite his name.
The police say he has been taken in
scores of times within the last few
months, and on pension day he gets
drunk and remains maudlin until his
money runs out. Then he goes 10 the
workhouse to rusticate. Last night
Policeman Boswell found him begging
near a saloon which ne makes his head
quarters. Campbell is alleged to have
stood on the curb and caught hold OF
the sleeves of pedestrians and solicited
aims. He viii probably be sent down
where it win not be necessary for him
to do any soliciting.
