peoples in the world are interested IN
making the book appear TO be true, and
they decline to exert the effort, To
few it appears TO be true without the
proof; if the proof existed it could be
made to appear to be true to all mankind.
Failure to adduce the proof leaves the
Mormon church open to the suspicion
that it dare not test the Book of Nor
mon lest it shall be found to be false
1t is recalled that Joseph F. Smith, the
present leader. is the possessor OF some
family traditions concerning the origin
of the Book of Mormon and that he
was the most strenuous of all the
church leaders in his opposition to the
pretended research by President Ben
.ismin Cluff, of the Brigham Young uni
versity, whose expedition to search for
proofs Of the Book of Mormon resulted
in such n fiasco

WHY NO INTEREST?

The State Treasurer has just fled his
report for the month of August, show
ing an increase in balances on hand
which now amounts to upwards of
| $2s2,0oO, much Of this in special funds
not frequently drawn upon.
The State Land Board has a large
sum on hand also in ready money, be.
sides a very much larger value in notes
and other securities The ready cash
probably amounts to close upon $780,
| 00O
There are, besides other funds on
| hand in the nature of trust funds to a
considerable amount, of which this
State is the custodian.
The county has always in some Of its
funds considerable amount Of money
on hand, and presently will have very
large amount-probably approaching
the half-million mark,
The Board Of Education of this city
is understood to have had a substantial
balance on hand at the close Of the
school year, and it also will very soon
be in receipt of large funds.
But we do not understand that any
Of these balances are drawing interest
payable to the public. There is no re-
port of anything of the kind, either Off
cially or otherwise. The amounts in
the aggregate would reach for many
months Of the year TO far above mil
lion dollars; and yet there is no interest
paid on that money.
If it is proper for the city to draw
interest on daily balances, or on quasi
permanent deposits, proposition which
it is not necessary to dispute here, why
is it not proper also that the State
should draw interest on it's vast sums
constantly on hand; and the county the
same, also the Board of Education?
What particular virtue is there In
money which belongs TO the city that
would cause it to draw interest from
the bank when the same principle would
not require interest to be paid upon
State, county or school district funds
deposited in like manners
If there is proposition that all daily
balances shall draw interest, we'll and
good; but to single out the city bal.
ances and demand that they shall draw
interest without any requirement that
the State, county, or the school dis
trict, or the special fund deposits of
public moneys shall draw interest, is
too evidently a one-sided proposition
to carry any particular weight. Let us
have general rule in this matter, or
cease the outcry about some particular
fund not drawing interest while keep
ing silent about the vastly larger sums

Challenge to the News

To the Editor Of the Deseret News:
sir.-In your issue Of August Is, 1906.
In an editorial under the caption. How
II Was Done" you say The only su-
tboritative statement concerning the
translation of the Book OF Mormon is
that IL was done by the gift and power
of God through the means OF the Urim
and Thummim."
Surely. Mr., Editor, you are not
ignorant OF what the Book OF Mormon
says concerning this Important subject.
In I'd Nephi q CHI 20 yer. we read :
Then shall the Lord God say unto him
Joseph Smith. Jun.)-I am able to do
mine own work: wherefore thou shalt
read the words which I shall give unto
thee" Is not this an authoritative
statement concerning the translation oil
the Book of Mormon?"
Again you say: "a literal translation
word for word, OF any language into an
other, would. generally speaking, appear
almost nonsensical, because OF the dider-
ences In the construction of sentences
Therefore q word for word translation
without proper arrangement according
to syntax and idlomatic changes neces-
sary to convey the meaning to the Eng
lish reader, would be out OF the .ques-
tion."
And yet in this same editorial you say
that. "On the title page to the Book OF
Mormon there Is literal translation OF
the statement concerning the plates
Further on you say: And thus 1t Is
clear that the Prophet Joseph. obtaining
the Specification OF the characters upon
the plates, gave the Interpretation In
such language as was at his command
Now, Mr.. Editor, l challenge you 10
produce one sentence written by Joseph
Smith, Jr., or dictated by him or written
by any one of his friends before his
death. wherein 1t is claimed that the
translation of the Book of Mormon was
made in any other way than indicated II
the quotation l have made from Second
Nephi. Thou shalt read the words which
shall give unto thee" or that he only
obtained the ''signlGcatien OF the char
acters upon the plates and gave the in
depreciation In such language as was a
his command"
We take nothing for granted, as 20,
suggest In your editorial, but demand The
proof. Your church has contended fol
seventy-fve years that the quotation
from Nephi, as given above, is the ke!
to the translation Of the Book of Nor.
mon. Very sincerely yours,
D. NJ. HELMICK,
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-09-07
CHURCH GIVES HADES.

- ClLlZcu OIL OdJU Lah0
remarked to his friends at breakfast
yesterday: ~ do not see how you
can bear to read The Tribune, filed as
it is with vilihcation Of individuals
and slander against the community.
How can you trust the word Of such
a paper7'
And yet that same man who was
speaking is one who for more than
two years past has clasped hands with
writers for The Tribune, has urged
them upon their course of warfare in
defense Of Utah's lawful living and
decent social relations; he has said
that the contest must be waged in
the name of womanhood and childhood,
and that>he was proud that The Tribune
was courageous enough to do it. Re-
peatedly this man has promised that
just so soon as his own affairs would
permit he expected to be out in the
open-hghting under the American
flag in local politics for American con-
ditions in local life.
This is the type of man who today
stands as chief critic Of the American
party and The Salt Lake Tribune, its
organ. Multiply him by q dozen and
you have twelve malignant activities
circulating in the community, defam-
ing with their lips that which in their
hearts they approve. There is today
among this dozen one man selected for
q high political position in one Of the
church political quorums who more
than once has stated to writers Of The
Tribune that he was with the Ameri-
can party heart and soul, and only
wished that his employment would per-
nit his public avowal of his convic-
tions
Shall such creatures lead, or rather
mislead, great Independent commu-
nity7
The issue here is so plain that no
man, unless one blinded by ignorance
or sel6shness, need to err in the path
which citizen should follow. The
American party was born Of mighty
emergency; the old parties had dem
onstrated, each Of them in its turn,
that it would follow the church dicta-
tion. One Of the parties bearing a
great National organization name, had
selected and elected to Congress one
Of the members Of the Mormon hie-
rarchy-we had two years Of hell, Rob-
erts and hell! The Democracy, in its
time Of power, gave to Utah, the af-
ficted-Roberts and hell-that is what
came from the Democratic party with
all CT its pretensions Of loving and
wise guidance Of the peoples political
destinies. And then we had the Re.
publican party, which gave to Utah
another hierarch and four years Of hell.
Reed Smoot and hell, devoted Utah re-
ceived from the party now in power.
Both times the church ruled; both
times the so~called parties acted as
mere quorums Of the church political
government. And then to crown all
we had the Infamous evidence given
to the Nation by leaders Of the Mormon
church that they were living with
plural, wives and that they were rails
ing up children without recognition of
legitimacy IN Utah-and that these acts
were condoned by the general popula-
tion Of this State.
Then the American party was organ
lied; its issues were already plain; its
