A GOOD MEDIATION.

The mediation proposed by tho Presi-
dent of the United States, seconded by
the President of Mexico, has been eff
fectual in stopping the war in Central
America. This is 4 most satisfactory
outcome Of the humane effort to stop
the losses of life and property that
were sure TO follow the prosecution of
the vicious war that was begun be-
tween San Salvador and Guatemala,
and that drew Honduras into the strife,
and very likely would have drawn in
Costa Rica, if not Mexico itself.
Compared with the Russo.Japanese
war, that Central American war was
and must have continued small af-
fair. Yet, it was no less deadly in pro-
portion, nor were the animosities less
bitter nor the points OF difference cas-
icr 10 reconcile. AS in the great war
referred 10, the President was the real
peacemaker, both in inception and per
severing insistence, so in this smaller
war ne was the power upon which all

INFANT MORTALITY.

OF all the creatures to be pitied in
this hot weather it is the babe whose
mother either cannot or will not give
TO it proper care. Sometimes the fail
uro is due to intentional neglect, but
moro often to ignorance. The other
day on a railroad train between here
and Provo child cried for half an
hour merely because il wanted drink
of water and could not tell its foolish
mother Of its need. Finally an old man
who had seen tho rearing of several
generations of babies, walked over and
told the woman what the baby wanted,
and few moments after all was quiet
on that car.
The frightful infant mortality of a
generation ago is now known TO DO
largely unnecessary, The City of
Rochester, in this country, has prob.
ably taken tho lead, through its local
board of health, in system of in
structions to mothers and nurses which
has resulted in the saving of lives to
such phenomenal extent that every
community ought to be aware that the
neglect OF known rules of health is
nothing less than careless slaughter of
innocents. In the eight years from
1sSS TO 1896 the awful number OF 1888
babies under one year old died In
Rochester in the months of July and
August; but during these Same months
from the year 1897 to 1905 tho mortal
ity was more than fifty per cent less,
although the population was greater;
for in the latter period only 76l babies
under one year old died in that city.

AMERICAN MEATS ABROAD.

The National Live Stock Exchange
announces its adherence TO the packers
and to the proposition that American
meats put up for foreign trade hereto
fore have been the best in the world,
and will continue to be so; and that
hereafter the meats put up for the
home market will also be free from
every objection.
The London inspectors who made a
special examination of American meats
in view OF the sensational publications
and exaggerated reports of experts,
pronounced American meats in every
way satisfactory; and this Judgment
OF tho London inspectors will go far
TO reinstate the good repute of Amer
lean meats in the world 8 markets.
AS matter Of fact, there has never
been anything to complain of in the
putting up of meat in this country
for export to foreign markets The
Government experts have done their
whole duty as to that, and there has
never been any pretense otherwise.
The London conclusion is precisely
what might havo been expected, and
would necessarily be expected, by any
one who understood the meat situa-
IlOn ana the manner IN which the
meats are inspected and packed for
foreign use.
Germany, TO be sure, shows signs of
restiveness, and the agrarian party
there, which is the home product party,
and which cries out against all foreign
imports Of foodstuffs, is doing all in
its power to discredit American meats;
but that party has in fact no fair
ground TO stand upon. American meats
exported TO Germany have always been
well inspected. and above suspicion :;
the fact that Germany has always had
n special inspection of its own for
these imported meats ought to be
enough TO shut the mouths of all Ger
man objectors against the American
product AS matter Of fact, officially,
there cannot be any possible complaint
in Germany against American meats.

LEGAL OR MORAL7

A Wisconsin judge has been caught
in the unlawful attempt to secure for
himself the commission on the annual
payment due upon his life insurance.
There was no agent of the company
available to whom he could make per-
sonal payment, so he wrote TO the head
quarters of the company and proposed
that draft upon him for the amount
due should be drawn through n conve-
nient bank, the bank to retain the
commission and be authorized to pay
it over TO him. The insurance company
did not do this, but sent the CORES
pondence to its agent at Milwaukee,
who made it public, with a scornful
reference to the turpitudo of the Judge.
OF course it was wrong for the judge
to try to save that commission for
himself. 1t WAS unlawful, and he
should have known this if he did not.
And it being unlawful, n judge, Of all
men, should not be caught in the hui
initiating predicament that this Judge
finds himself in. AT the same time, he
does not appear in the least to be hui
Initiated; he considered the proposal
he made to be straightforward bust
ness proposition; the company could
accept IL OF NOT, AT 1ls pleasures lI
did not accept, and the judge paid up
in full.
But, aside from the fact that the
Judge ought TO have known the law and
should not in any way have undertaken
to violate or evade it, Of what moral
wrong is he guilty' Is it morally an
Objectionable thing to ask that an
agents commission be paid to the
policy-holder1 Is this not the sort of
fictitious, made-up sentiment that
makes it an ofrense for passenger
to ride on a scalper' ticket7 We be-
lieve that the Wisconsin judge, as a
moral proposition, was quite right when
he said that his proposition did not in
any essential way differ from any ordi-
nary business transaction.

DIVIDING UP SMooT.

There have been two United states
Senators in Salt Lake within the past
two davs-othcrs have boon here also
and they have been important, but it
is not necessary ia refer TO them in
connection with the immediate subject
Of this article. Ono Of them, Hon.
Clarence d. Clark, of Wyoming, has
impaired to the public particularly
tho Mormon part OF the public) that
the Senate OF tho United States Ia for
Apostle Reed Smoot rs membcr of
that body. Tho other Senator, Hon.
Fred r. Dubois Of idaho, has told the
public (nnd also particularly tho Nor
mon part Of tho public) that the Sen
ate Of the United States IS not for
Apostle Smoot 9 retention of 4 seat in
that body.
When Senators disagree who shall
decided Perhaps the official record of
the proceedings in the Smoot case may
be of value in determining this pointed
question The Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections (the Commit
tee being necessarily constituted by the
dominant element in the Senate, and
therefore necessarily presumed 10 be
representative Of the dominant senti-
ment) by clear majority vote has
adopted the following resolution;
Resolved. That Reed smoot Is not en-
titled To his seat as a senator OF the
United States from the State OF Utah.
Tho resolution should effectually dis
pose Of the issue between tho distin-
guished gentlemen from Wyoming and
Idaho; Senator Clark speaks as the
hierarchy would have him speak on this
subject, and Senator Dubois speaks as
the Senate Committee has spoken on
this subject.
There is one vital matter in connec
tion with Smoot s case which, when
fairly considered, will demonstrate that
all tho Wyoming cbeeriness on this sub
ject is but the whistling of a timid
man going through a graveyard. The
supreme effort of tho Smootites from
high TO low in tho United States, in.
Guiding all tho Senators who owe their
election to hierarchical influence in
their States, including all tho friends
of Smoot IN the administration, includ-
ing ali tho politicians who believe that
Smootism IS q dominant political forco
in the intermountain country and who
rely on Smootism to save the House of
Representatives-all these were com
bined in an effort to prevent report
against Smoot from the Committee on
Privileges and Elections; and all these
woefully failed In test battle of
strength, with every political tempta-
ton and inducement to rally his party
friends around him, with every eXpen~
diture of influence which could make
journalistic and personal favor for
Smoot, his cause went down to in
glorious defeat; and the report which
was delivered against him stands up
to tho present date as a careful, fair
opinio of the Senate and the people Of
the United States.

oLD-TIMER WRITES.

The holy and unholy presence and &C.
tivity (for be is versatilo) Of Apostle
and Senator Smoot in political and re-
lgious affairs in Provo has stirred the
thought centers of tho population in
that important city.
Mainly tho population Of Provo con-
eists of adheronts of the Mormon
church There are, however, many de-
grees Of this adherence, as might be
expected in town where Reed Smoot
WAS the controlling spirit. The exam-
pie for devotion TO the church, in his
case, has had as many shades rs he
has had varied aspirations in different
periods of his life And not only docs
the community devotion vary in de
gree, but it varies III the quality OF its
character Many there are who are for
the church because they believe that IL
is divinely guided! and some there are
(and they are growing more) who read
Alright the examples Of some OF the
leaders and recognize that there Is an
element of sclfinterest aud even graft
in the operation of affairs here which
makes of the mere follower an untbink-
ing fanatic or financial gull.
If, then, among the Mormons Mt
Provo there is a rising class Of young
and old who recognize that self'inter-
est is the animating motive of life, and
if this view shall cause them to for
sake the fervor of their devotion and
renounce their abnegation in behalf Of
the church and its leaders, rcligiously
Senator Smoot has himself TO blame
and politically Apostle Smoot is at
fault-for they have only followed his
his example.
A few days ago Tho Tribune printed
n startling letter from "Young Nor
mon - at Provo Even the Smootito or
gans did not have the temerity to ser
iously attack its solid argument, In
this issue The Tribune prints a letter
from "Old Timer long resident in
Smoot IS home town. While "young
Mormon represents probably the
larger class and while his letter was
admirable, justice compels the obser
walton that "Old Timer s ~ communi-
cation shows tho better grasp of the
subJect-probably due to a longer nc
quaintance with tho history of the in
dividuals and tho teachings which to-
gether constitute the autocIacy OF the
church.
Some time it will dawn upon the HE
rarchs that, like Nicholas of Russia,
they hold an empty shell of an abso
lutism whose might has departed from
tho tyrant and has entered into lib
erty-loving people who will no longer
bear the cruelties which are practiced
under q fictitious claim of divine right
to rule mankind.

because he is the only man living that

THE PANAMA CANAL BONDS.

One of the striking proofs Of tho
solid financial condition Of this coun-
try, and of the abundance OF money, is
the bidding for tho Panama canal
bonds Thirty million dollars Of these
bonds were offered, the issue to bear
two per cent per annum, ard to run
thirty years, redeemable, however, in
ten years at the pleasure of the Gov
ernment. in spite of this comparative
ly short-timo option and extremely low
rate Of interest, the issue was many
times over-bid, and premiums were OF
fered, even as high as $l.O6.
The facts illustrate more clearly than
argument could, not only the super
abundance of money but its immediate
availability. AS matter OF fact, how
ever, IL is probable that but little draft
viii be made for some time on this
money. Last years canal expenses
were paid out Of the current revenues
and there was n handsome surplus at
the end of the fiscal year. But, as al
ways happens, tho July outgo from tho
Treasury is very great; some bills are
held over, and in July the new appro.
priations for the year become available
and the money demand on tho Treas
ury is out of all proportion in July to
that of the other months. The country
is building the canal, that problem of
the centuries, and carrying without feel
ing it, the cost which has appalled,
evey people that considered the ques-
tion, and bankrupted the strongest
combination that France could form.
All seems well on the Isthmus, and that
agreeable condition Uncle Sam is able
to maintain.
