THE SUPREME LAW.

A former member Of the Mormon
church advises The Tribune that the
best proof extant Of the higher rev.
erence paid by the Mormon church HE.
rarchy to the laws Of the church than
to the laws of the land is found in this
fact. ''The members Of the hierarchy
and their favorites violate the law Of
the land and any one who condemns
them therefor is called villain. II
any one violate the law Of the church
he is Immediately punished by the
church and his prosecutors and judges
arc called holy servants Of God. They
will not permit the laws Of the land
to be enforced; they will not permit
the laws OF tho church to be ignored,'
There is something to the argument
Of The Tribune's correspondent. It is
the old case, the continuing case, stated
in new way; but an almighty effective
way-for there is no escape from its
lopic

Roosevelt shall continue to hold tho
popular esteem as he holds it today; if
the MACS OF the voting population of
this country shall continue to look
upon his errors as trivial and upon his
achievements as magnificent; public
opinion may force the Republican con-
vention TO name Theodore Roosevelt
and may force Theodore Roosevelt to
accept the nomination in 1908. There
is an individual human element TO 1t
also, President Roosevelt has been
charged with putting into effect some
OF the Bryan theories. His natural
pride in his own wonderful achieve
ments may prompt him 10 continue
Rooseveltism as the controlling SEN
timentality of the United States
rather than to see Brysnism come in to
practice its own theories.
There is a third remedy not yet seri-
ously considered, but it is a question if
ID is not better than either of the
others. AS between Organism, under
any name, and Repubhcanism, under
It's own name; conservative men are in
clined to believe that Joseph G.. Can

POSSIBLE CANDIDATES..

Not all wisdom abides IN the Re-
publican press in the East; nor is tho
benediction Of sagacity universal in
newspaper offices.
AS matter Of patriotic devotion to
the public veal, Republican papers with
some generality sought to overthrow
the growing artificial boom for Hearst
for the Democratic nomination to the
Presidency, by their boosting of Bryan.
They did not expect TO see Mr.. Bryan
in tho White House; certainly they did
not desire to have him there. But they
recognized that William Randolph
Hearst was menace, and they felt
that they could we'll afford to give q
few columns of space to his greater
rival In order TO restore that greater
rival to popular favor. The work was
so well done that now they meet an
other danger-the genuine popularity
Of Bryan among Independent voters as
well as in his own party.
Contemporaneously with the effort
to boost Mr.. Bryan was the insistent
VI llCpuOliSdu pdpClo ludU
President Roosevelt would not, under
any circumstances, consent to renom-
ination to his present high office. But
as they boosted Bryan for the sup
posed possession Of the Roosevelt quail
tiles aud tendencies, and as they re-
moved Roosevelt from the possibility
of consideration by tho forthcoming
Republican convention, they found that
in rescuing the country from the re-
mote danger Of Hearstism they were
involving it in the possible danger Of
Organism.
Two remedies seem to have been
adopted by the most vigorous Of the
Republican journals of the East: One
is to find that Mr.. Bryan has been dis
honest all the time because he was in
1896 "the tool and paid agent Of q
clique Of silver mine owners;n and the
other is to find that the emergencies Of
the United States will demand that
President Roosevelt withdraw his ab-
solute declaration and permit himself
TO be nominated for what he has
called ga third term
Concerning the first remedy, it is only
fair TO say that it is unworthy of Re-
publican promulgation. Mr.. Bryan is
not seriously charged with dishonesty.
He never was the "tool" and he never
was the "paid agent Of silver mine
owners" He may have been mistaken
concerning many important questions;
but he has been sincere. His interest
in bi-metallism was as unselfsh as the
interest which public men OF aspirants
for Office usually show in the policy or
proposed policy Of government.
Concerning the second remedy, there
cannot be such radical rejection. Pres
idcnt Roosevelt may find that the
needs of his country require that he
shall immediate himself and sacrifice his
pride of opinion by withdrawing his
promise not to be a candidate. The
American people are accustomed to
having their own way. II President

Topics Of the Day
MORE INDIANS THAN EVER.

Omaho Bee
The facts Of the Official record com
pietely disproves the popular notion
that the Indians In the United States
are dying out. On few subjects has
there been more indlscriminate guess
Ing than the original number of the
Indian population, which was long i'm
mensely exaggerated by imagination.
Nothing Ia now more certainly known
than that the assumption Of dense
native population when this country
was discovered is utterly unfounded
1t was, on the contrary, exceedingly
sparse. vast regions being entirely I'M
inhabited.
Since 1850 at least, the national
enumerations have been fairly aocu-
rate, and they show a steady though
not a large Increase OF the Indians,
amounting to ~ per cent In almost
a half century, and the total now being
1900. And Mai. Charles F. Lar
rabee acting Commissioner OF Indian
Affairs, who Is regarded as the best
informed authority. goes so far as to as
sert that the number OF Indians within
the boundaries OF the United States since
the time OF Columbus was never SO great
as lt is today.

ARTIFICIAL EGGS"
New York Globe.

New York Globe.
It is rather hot weather to be serious
about anything. least Of all, perhaps, so
highly technical and abstruse a subject
as the artificial manufacture OF eggs.
But somebody In the Arena makes the
statement in an offhand. incidental sort
OF way that ALREADY eggs have been
manufactured by artificial means" AS
the article in question ia about human
food and the sentence preceding the one
Just quoted predicts that "our milk. eggs
and lour Will eventually be made In fac
tories" 1t Is evident that tho writer is
referring to hens eggs.
In some not readily accountable way
this discovery. which is little short Of
revolutionary, has escaped the atten-
tion OF the scientific press. In fact,
the puzzle Of albumen. the organic
basis Of the egg, has not yet SO far as
science knows, been solved Under
these circumstances the statement OF
the Arena writer is really In the ma
ture Of a physiological bombshell.
With no desire to put this scientific
anarchist to unnecessary trouble, we
cannot forbear asking the address OF the
man who makes or has mado laboratory
eggs,

Speaks of w omen

Desoret Evening News.
Chicago professors are always saying
something. And very often their utter
ances are startling, sensational Prof.
William l. Thomas OF the University OF
Chicago haa followed the precedent and
said something out OF the ordinary IL
must be the way the Chicago intellectual
giants have adopted as means OF call
ing public attention TO themselves.
prof Thomas has come forward with
a pronunciamento concerning the social
institutions that are supposed 20 be
founded upon the moral code Accord
Ing TO the Chicago Record Herald. he de-
fends the so-colled social evil He also
deplores the condition OF many married
women. Most American women. he says
referring to the married ladies. we pre-
sume. are merely "houeecats," leading
abnormal lives and reduced 10 condt-
zion of uarasitism." That women have
been driven TO "trlckery. lndirection and
hypocrisy is his frm conviction. and
this comes OF O time when yellow jour
nails proclaim that American missionary
women in Turkey have made the Turklah
ladies vearn for the IDEAL status of their
American sisters,
The opInion Of the gentleman may be
az little Importance, but the frequent at
,acks made upon our social institutions
by persons who claim TO have the right
10 influence public opinion suggests that
the menace TO the American homo does
rot come from Utah, as claimed by the
enemies OF this State. The fearful moral
conditions prevalent In all the larger
centers Of population prove that the
teachings Of the advocates OF licentious-
ness, who eer forth their views at sun
dry times and in diverse manners, are

A sCRIPTURAL BENEFIcENCE.

The American party is certainly prov
ing to be the Moses of Utah in more
respects than one. 1t points the way
to liberty from thralldom and priestly
domination, from greedy ecclesiastical
graft in politics, business, and civil
affairs. It promotes freedom Of CON-
science aud favors immunity from the
tremendous enginery of persecution
which tho dominant church brings to
bear upon every ono who Is not
willing subject TO its autocratio de-
crees. Thus it is and will be the pillar
of cloud by day and tho pillar of fire
by night to lead tho people to the full
redemption of free citizenship.
The especially Scriptural leadership
Just now evident on the part OF the
American party is in the matter Of the
water supply which that party is about
to give to this city, as Moses supplied
the children Of Israel at Horcb. as de.
seribed in Exodus xviii. to Z inclusive.
This great service the American party
is rendering TO the people Of this city
by taking the ebortive and incompe
tent plans and wild speoulations of
former administration which knew
nothing md cared less of what IT was
doing. It made promises, but its
promises were vain and Ineffective. It
made no provision in fact to get the
water which it pretended it was going
to supply the city. 1t let a contract
for conduit ostensibly to carry water,
but which the first trial Of it showed
wonld not carry water st all, but would
leak il and distribute it along the
bench for the benefit Of the farmers,
after having bought it from tho farm
ers and paid for it double. The Amer
lean party seized the wreck of that in
scheme, that mcretricious
pretense OF service to the public, and
made of that vain boast a splendid
reality.
The city is on the eve Of receiving
the benefit Of the American party's
ma agniicent enterprise and practical
ability in this respect. With tho COM
pletion Of the connecting link between
the conduit and Parley's reservoir, the
mains in this city will bo filled with
water from Big Cottonwood and water
will flow into the pipe system of Salt
Lake in such abundance that none need
lack. The mighty fruition OF tre
practical benefcence Is about
TO be consummated here under the
OF the American party.
The people Of this city will at once
get the benefit and will also under
stand perfectly to whom it Is that they
owe this astonishing and gratifying in
crease TO their heretofore restricted
water supply. They will be guided ac-
cordingly, and will see that the
American party reaps the just reward
for It's great work, in the high esteem
and grateful recognition Of a discerning
nublic

Judge Stockslagcr means we'll and
speaks like a statesman; but when he
comes to tho practical application of
his generous and splendid sentiments,
he will find that the Mormon church
would prefer to see its people without
any rights whatever than TO see them
enjoy those rights outside of the per
mission and bestowal OF the church
itself
