their ballots for the Smoot Republican

ACKNOWLEDGES DICTATIoN.

President Ncphi j., Morris WAS dis
tinctly candid, even if profane, in his
sermon Of last Sunday,
Speaking of tho part which the
church takes in tho political guidance
of its followers, President Morris
sought to show that the Mormons do
not accept the advice of tho hierarchy.
But IN attempting to prove this he
only succeeded in demonstrating that
the church does dictate, for he said;
Had they tho followersl followed
the dictates OF the church, had they
been forced TO voto as they should
have, tho Mormon church and tho
Mormon people would yet be in control
Of that which is rightfully theirs"
President Morris meant Salt Lake
City, which was lost 10 tho Mormon
political quorums at the last election
and gained by the American people.
In his superlatively frank argument
President Morris has merely shown
that the church did dictate in politics,
and has proved that from the view.
point Of the ecclesiasts, Salt Lake be-
longs TO them by right divine. His
only error was in assuming that the
followers did not do as they were di-
rected. The trouble was not that the
followers failed to accept and act upon
instruction, but that tho instruction
was switched upon the followers twice
during election day and they got lost
in tho shuttle. 1t is well known that
the intention of the hierarchy was TO
deliver Salt Lake to the Republican
political quorum Of the church. Every
necessary antecedent instruction was
given To that end. But on election
day it became apparent that 80 many
Gentle Republicans were voting the
American ticket that Smoot's Republi-
can candidate for tho Mayoralty in
Salt Lake was certain to be defeated.
Thoreupon ensucd hurried consulta-
tion by the hierarchs who had active
charge Of the political campaign, and
trusted Republican workers were sent
out into every ward in the city to
switch Republicans over from the Re-
publican candidate to the Democratic
candidate. Tho effort was just too late,
and the American party was victorious;
but moro than thousand votes were
changed by this method, and had the
instruction been issued three hours
earlier in the day the church dictation
would have been effective, and Morris,
the representative OF the church Demo
cratic quorum, would have been elected
Mayor of Salt Lake City;
President Nephi Morris is a valuable
mamie is getting into the j. Golden
Kimball class. He tells things right
out in meeting. He states what he
believes; and foolish and blasphemous
as that belief is at times, his indis-
cretion in stating it is large factor
in the enlightenment Of the community.

everything 10 tho church. There IS no
reason, therefore, why he should pro-
tcct the Morris administration, but
every reason why he should keep him
self solid with the church, without any
regard whatever to Mr.. Morris or the
Democratic party; and so Mr.. Form
strom, knowing the facts all the time,
and being reasonably sure that they
would come out, stirred up this matter
for the purpose of adding further dis
credit 10 the already discreditcd Morris
administration. Councilman Carter
traced tho job TO Fernstrom himself
pretty thoroughly, and so Fernstrom
stands out tho hero Of that graft, ia it's
inception, in its execution, and finally
in its exposure And for once he has
done the public a service.

GOOD ADVICE AS TO COAL.

The advice OF the coal dealers that
people should lay in their winter sup
ply of coal now while there is a good
chance TO get it without delay or trou-
BILE is certainly good. A largo number
Of things had best be done in this
timely way, provided always that 1T is
practical to do them.
But take the average householder In
this city. Suppose he wants to buy
anywhere from ten to twenty or thirty
tons of coal to do him through the
winter, What is he going to do with
that coal in the meantime7 How shall
he store it? IL he is renter, the
probability is that there is not suAi-
cient room in any place capable Of
holding coal advantageously on the
premises where he lives. 1t would not
pay him to put up special coal house,
even If there was room for 1t, and an
ordinary coal house would not hold
enough, anyway, to last through the
winter.
Then, again, the tenant may not in
tend to live in tho same house he is
now occupying all winter. Perhaps he
intends to move as soon as he can bet
ter himself and is looking out for
more desirable house, either as to ac-
commodatiops in the house itself or as
to its location in relation to his en-
ployment.
1t would be a mighty good thing if
everybody could lay III winter IS coal
now, while there is a chance to do it,
and while the dealers are anxious to
have them buy so as TO clear out the
stock and allow of replenishment of
all the bins in the yards. But how are
the householders going to do it7 Pos
sibly they haven't got the money on
hand to advance, and almost certainly
the tenant hasn't got the place to store
the coal. SO what is the practical
benefit of giving advice like that7 1t
is advice that most people cannot fol-
low, and it is advice that those who
might possibly follow are pretty certain
to neglect

the Hawaiian Sisal Company planta-
ton on this island has become the dis
tributing point for sisai plants which
are being sent to many portions of the
world. What makes this fact of far
reaching Importance to the people of
this Territory is that government ex-
perts, after examining the products
from Yucatan and Hawaii, determined
that the local sisai was the better quail
ity, and the Hawaiian cultivated plants
better adapted to the climatic condi-
tions of the Philippines.
As result of this selection, the Ha-
waiian Sisal Company shipped thirty
six tons of sisal plants on the transport
Thomas, which left here June % for
Manila, and will ship thirty-fve tons
more on the transport Sheridan, due
here on Thursday from San Francisco
en- route to the Philippines.
All these plants are consigned to the
United States Agricultural Bureau of
the Philippines and will be distributed
to planters in the archipelago. The bu-
plants and do all they can to promote
interest in the cultivation of sisal.
The plants are the kind known as
agave rigida sisalana. This variety is
found to be superior to the Yucatan
variety, or agave rigida olongata,
which differs from the Hawaiian kind
in having lateral spines on the leaves,
while the sisalana variety has but the
terminal spines.
The Yueatan variety does not pro-
duce the quantity or quality as the Ha-
lions necessary in preparing the leaves
of the Hawaiian sisal than that of Yu-
catan. The edges of the Yucatan
leaves have to be trimmed, an opera
ton not necessary with the Hawaiian
product.
The sisal company is preparing 100
bales, of $50 POM Is each, of the finest
fiber ever shipped from any port in the
world, to be despatched to San Fran
cisco on the American-Hawaiian steam
ship Nebraskan about Monday. This
big consignment goes to the Tubbs

The prevailing price for Yucatan fiber
is 67s cents per pound, bat the Ha-
waiian product is so far superior to the
Yucatan article that larger price viii

pains have been taken with this ship
ment by Superintendent Weinrich, who

ton, and Mr.. Weldon, who is one of
