NO BETTER.

The official organ Of the Mormon
church, edited by an apostle of the
polyeamous cult. has quoted with
much JUNCTION, this expression from
President Roosevelt;
For tho liar is not one whit better than
the thief.
Many great criminals have n mania
for confessIng their misdeeds. 1t is said
by those who have studied offenders
that the robber. in order To be looked
upon with awe, desires to have his fell
lows believe that he is murderer: and
that the mere slayer of one man wishes
10 be esteemed by his profession as
having killed scores-always, of course,
assuming that the evil fame may be
gained without danger OF additional
punishment under the law.
This rhythm evidently affects the
mind Of the editor of the Deseret News.
1t would be rather egotistical for him
to say. II am liar, and not that
alone l am entitled TO other and larger
consideration" But he can promulgate
the same Idea indirectly: and under the
distinguished authority of the Prcsi-
dent of the United States he may gain
that kind Of enhanced respect for
which his soul Graves. The apostolic
editor Of the News made a complete
confession (or was II a boast0 before
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections that he was liar. He stated
to that committee and to the world that
he had obtain amnesty upon a false
promise made 10 President Grover
Cleveland. To be merely a liar is not
Joy enough for him. And SO he continues
approvingly and significantly to quote
the utteTances of President Roosevelt
1t may be all right for the apostle to
thus call attention TO his traits OF
character. but 1t Will be surprising IL
President Joseph +. Smith does not call
the editor on the carpet at church

CRUMB OF COMFORT.

The Deseret News is picking UP a
| small crumb OF comfort in the Smoot
case which falls from the editorial table
of the New York World-that metro
politan paper having decided that, un-
der the Constitution, Reed Smoot may
he expelled by two-thirds vote of the
Senate, but not excluded by majority
vote of the body. The Endorsement by
the Mormon church organ OF this view
leads To the belief that the hierarchs
have lost all hope In the claim OF a ma
tority In their favor Now the best that
they expect is that they can induce a
third Of the Senators TO vote against
expulsion. However, that attitude OF
the News is only an incident in the
great question.
When Apostle Reed Smoot appeared
at tho Senate, his right to take the
oath of office was protested by eminent
citizens of this State. With that pro-
test pending he was permitted to take
the oath of office, in the view-stated I'm
the Senate and accepted-that no pub
lie right would be lost by his admis-
slon the view being then. as now, that
If disqualified, his taking the oath or
his serving for three years and two
months could not qualify him. Unques-
tionably the Senate might have re-
fused, by majority vote. to permit Reed
Smoot TO take the oath OF office on that
fourth day OF March, 1908 When did
the right OF the Senate. which is the
right Of the country, lapse? If dis
qualified then. Apostle Smoot is dis
qualified now.
He never has been n Senator in any
sense Of the word, as was recently
shown in these columns-except that
the acts which he has performed. II
any, and the votes which he has cast
would not be nullihed by his exclusion,
Perpetuity Of wrong does not make
wrong right. Tho long holding Of an
office to which he could not be properly
elected, and the duties OF which he
cannot perform, and the obligations Of
whose oath he cannot fulfil, cannot give
title to Reed Smoot any more than a
man can become the legal owner of a
horse which he has stolen. by stealing
three more TO go with It.
In the most essential sense Reed
Smoot is an alien TO this Government
His election was void from the begin
ming. AS Senator Hoar clearly indi-
Gated, his taking the oath OF Office
could not qualify him. If otherwise he
was disqualified Ex-secretery Carlisle
in his vivid presentation of the case
before the committee, made this point
so plain that neither the News nor the
New York World can utter anything
which countervaIls that splendid argu-
ment

THE INSURANCE RATES.

Yesterday we discussed the manifest
unfairness of a proposal which was
wired from Chicago, that In conse-
quence of the tremendous losses of the
insurance companies In the San Fran
cisco fire, there would be "an advance
Of rates throughout the entire district
controlled by the Western Union [of In
surance companlesl, extending from
Pennsylvania to the Rocky Noun
tains." 1t would be a manifest injus-
tice to innict upon the business men
Of that region, or of any other unaf-
fected region. a fine because of the San
Francisco fire. 1t would be a glarlne
imposition when 1t is shown. as II
easily can be shown that in all the re-
gion Indicated the fire premiums re-
oeived were tremendously in excess OF
the losses paid
Take Utah as an example. In the
year ending December 81, 1904. tno later
data are availablc) the premiums paid
by Utah to fire insurance, steam boiler,
and plate glass companies aggregated
1852 1850, on risks written amounting
to $44,374,392. The losses paid by the
companies In Utah amounted In the
Same time to S16s, $3.50. Excess OF pre-
miums received from Utah by the
companies over losses paid by them in
Utah, $685., sos So The companies re-
ceived from Utah four and a half times
as much as they paid out that year in
this State
That, surely, ought to be enough TO
dispose OF the proposition that Utah
rates should be raised because of San
Francisco's misfortune and the losses
which It inhicts upon the insurance
companies. That showing Is, in fact,
a powerful argument TO base demand
upon for a decrease In insurance rates
I'm this State, without regard to what
may take place elsewhere; for there is
no Justice in asking Utah business men
IN nav for insurance elsewhere; all that
can rightly be asked of them is that
they shall pay the legitimate cost OF
the risk of reimbursng for fires OF their
own. II is a subject well worthy OF
the attention OF Utah's business men,
tbey should take the initiative In de-
msndlng a lower rate OF Insurance In

Sometimes parents teach their children

The foregoing is part OF the official
report, In a Mormon print, OF the re-
marks made at the Fremont conference
of the Mormon church last week, by
Apostle George, a. Smith, son of Apos-
tie John Henry Smith, grandson Of
Apostle George A. Smith third cousin
OF President Joseph L. Smith. and

CATION ends, 1t Is clear from the teach
ing that children must keep their word
sacred It ls also clear from the exam
pie Of the hIcrarchs that holy men may
sacredly break their promise. Is the
difference a matter Of age or matter
of ecclesiastical degree? Must the
common man maintain his words a all
costs In order to be esteemed a one of
integrity? And may the prophet vio-
late his solemn covenant. in order to
show that he is qualified to be a law
giver for God? Is IT the case that after
one reaches Fl or some other age, the
obligation of honor ceases? Or is it
rather than any one of these, that the
distinction Ia purely marital-that a
child not yet married must be truthful.

having two wives may tell falsehoods
with some degree Of impunity; and a
man with Ave wives is actually under
a holy compulsion to falslfy to his fel-
lowmen, to his Government, and to
that parsonage whom he blasphemous-
ly calls God? q?
The appeal is made to Apostle George
A Smith with the consciousness that
he possesses the mental ability TO un-
derstand the question. II would be

have mistakenly assumed that nature
would correct the unfortunate tendency
under consideration; that Is, that when
a boy got tired of carrying his load OF
books under his right arm he would
put IL under his left arm, or swing II

relief from fatigue, particularly when

Chicago set out to raise 81 900, 900 In
cash for San Francisco, and has al
ready done so. At the time of the Chi
cago fire In 1871. San Francisco people
sent 100000 for relief, and this now
goes back multiplied by ten. But the
California city was then less than one
tenth as large as Chicago is now. II
Is worth noting, by the way. that the
relief money received by Chicago from
individual and voluntary contributions
at the time OF the FIRE aggregated only
10000, while already over $4,000, 900
has been raised for San Francisco The
latter city, moreover. will receive three
or four times as much insurance money
as Chicago did Accordingly this re-
ported movement among San Francisco
citizens to secure the use of the credit
OF the United States Government to
the extent of 5000 000, 900 becomes a lit
