A LAWYER APOSTLE.

The latest runor with any kind OF
authorization, concerning the vacant
apostleship in the Mormon church. is
that Major Richard w. Young is slated
for the position This viii be n some
what startling departure, and yet 1t
is only reciprocity. Brigham Young Sc
lected one OF the Smiths and it is only
fair that Joseph f. Smith should Sc
lect one OF the Youngs.
Major Young Is a lawyer, business
man and an eX-o1licer OF the Regular
Army Of the United States. His APP
pearance among the apostolic crowd
Will be a kind of an incongruity. un-
less he has, during his service as stake
president, receded from the ideals
which were apparently his during the
time that he was "an officer and
gentleman"
To sit In ecclesiastical council and
deliberately plot to nullify the laws
and antagonize the sacred institutions
Of the country may seem rather an
anomaly for Major Young, military
man and lawyer But then we see
all sorts OF queer things in church
leadership In Utah, and this will be
only a part OF the general grotesquerle.
a neeting and unconiirmed rumor
went about town last week to the ef-
feet that Judge King had been chosen
for the place. Probably the only
ground for the foolish statement was

GETTING READY.

The Deseret News has real or pre-
tended letter from some inquirer con-
cerning the alleged law Of consecra-
ton given by the Almighty through Jo-
seph Smith to the Mormon church
that conservation being the bestowal
by the people of all their property upon
the prophet as a supposed offering to
God The News admits that the COM
mand was not obcyed, except by a
few, either In the spirit or the letter,
In consequence of neglect and
rebellion and covetousness and selfish
ness they were driven by their enemies
from that State Mol"
Reading so far, the shrewd observer
will know what came next in the edito-
ment that the law of tithing is still in
operation. Impliedly then, il the Nor
mon people do not obey this law in let

enough to hold for their families what
they earn If they are covetous enough
not TO give 1t to Joseph F.. Smith, if
they are rebellious enough to refuse
his absolute guidance as the diVinely
inspired director OF their personal af-
fairs the logical inference TO be drawn
from the article of the News is that
they will be driven again by their
"enemies."
What 2 shameless imposture upon
credulity the News has perpetrated
The Mormon people were not driven
from Missouri and were not driven
from Nauvoo and were not prescribed
and punished In Utah, because OF the
failure of the mass to give the entirety
OF their property into the keeping Of
their leaders, but because of tee antag-
onistic attitude of these same leaders
toward State and Nation, All the
property that the Mormons possessed,

ership of the chief prophet, seer. and

driyings and proscriptions-unle per-

case the people might have been per-

THE RECLAMATION FUND.

The brilliant intellects of the East
are beginning to worry about the
reclamation fund. which now amounts
to upward OF thirty million dollars.
The Eastern mind is not so consti-
tuted as to understand how so much
money can be handled properly In the
West, and a demand Is made for
director OF the reclamation service"
to prevent maladministration.
There is no intimation that anything
is wrong with the present service: no
suggestion that the money is not being
properly apportioned or handled; no
proposition, even, that the present
practice of administering the fund by
the Secretary of the Interior through
the Director Of the Geological Survey
shall be changed. but II Is assumed
that he viii not be able to account for
the money he spends and so it is
urged that n Director of the Rccln-
nation Service" shall be named, who
Will report TO Congress annually what
is done with the money.
Accordingly. Representative Cooper
OF Pennsylvania has introduced bill
providing for moro completely placing
the responsibilities in the administra-
ton of the reclamation fund" 1t pro-
vides for director of that fund, who
shall submit annual estimates OF ex-
penditures to be made so that Congress
may have full Information on this
point. 1t. in effect [says the Eastern
tnf III
sponsibilitics OF distributing the fund
where it belongs namely with Con-
eress, and to that extent relieves the
executive officers from the worry and
annoyance Incident to the apportion-
mcnt OF the fund "
That is to say. there would be no
more reclamation work, after the pas
sage OF such bill, until Congress au-
thorized 1t. Although the reclamation
fund IS a special accumulation whereby
the money received for the saleable
lands I'm the arid region is made To re-
claim the unsaleable self-a@tmS and
self-rep epenishinG and rcfundinG, this
whole matter is to be put on the basis
of the river and harbor bill. where
money is taken direct from the general
public fund by special Congressional
appropriation.
The idea OF this Cooper bill is based
on a complete misapprehension OF the
law, and If enacted, it would tie
up every reclamation project in the
region that the National irrigation law
sought to benefit, until Congress had
acted favorably upon IL. AS n measure

created the reclamation service. moth
ing more Ingenious and effective than
this Cooper bill could be imagined. The
workings of the reclamation service
are as satisfactory as possible as they
are now conducted The people Of the
whole arid region would be indignant
to have the reclamation service para
lyzed as the Cooper bill proposes, and
We cannot believe for a moment that
such q bill could be enacted into law.

TIE BUREAU ARGUMENT

The Deseret News reprints. from an
Eastern exchange under the usual Des-

fold, the] proceeded TO vigorous defense
of the same.
Thus is exemplifed the feeling that
the people OF the United States enter

not trust these criminal leaders be-
cause Of the sentiment which Is above
expressed by the hireling lecturer and
endorsed by the News. Can the Nor
mons themselves have any confidence
in their chiefs under these circum-
stances? If President Smith will vlo-

saying that men like President Smith
would break any law anywhere else,

THE ADJUTANT- GENERAL.

Mr.. Joseph Geoghegan resigned the
Adjutant- Generalship Of this state be
cause Governor Cutler annulled the rule
which the ArmOry Board had adopted,
that the nrmory should be kept for the
exclusive use of the National Guard.
Governor Cutler had agreed to this
rule, but he set il aside in favor of a
Smoot Jamboreo, political and personal.
There was but one thing for the officer
to do who stood for the Guard and
against party or political intrusion into
IT'S affairs to resign. and like the man.
ly gentleman that ne is, Mr. Geoghcgan
resigned and made no delay about It,
The political raid upon the Guard,
and the capture of the nrmory from 1t
on night when IT had arranged func-
ton OF Its own. combined with Mr..
Geoghegan's resignation, almost dis
rupted the Guard. a number OF officers
resigned. and the public saw in the
Governors action determination TO
ignore the interests OF the service.
Then TO save the organization from
utter chaos. the Governor had "har-
mouy' banquet and invited the officers
OF the Guard to attend A good many
OF them did so, and were in propitiatory
words assured that the Governor loved
the Guard almost more than he did
anything else I'm the State, and the
officers were by him invited to suggest
names for Adiu tant- General, the Gov
ernor would surely appoint the man
whom the officers wanted There was
not m entire oblitcration OF the sore
ness caused by the Smoot political raid
on the Guard. but a numbe" of the
officers, taking Governor Cutler at his
word. submitted several names to him,
any Of which would be satisfactory 10
them.
But they were not the cast of men
that Governor Cutler admired; they
might do well enough for mere military
service; but could they be depended up
on TO sustain" the Governor i'm his
plans and opinions? Would they take
kindly to the control OF President Jo-
seph F. Smith, and cheer when he
might step in and dominate the choice
for high position in the Guard, as when
he dictated the choice of Lund to be
Colonel? The Governor feared not and
so he substituted a man OF his own mo-
ton, one VINO was not recommended by
the officers of the Guard
And now. the question is, why did
Governor Cutler ask the officers OF the
Guard to name the Adjutant-General
If he didn't intend to let them do 1t?
And why did he name for the position
so devoted a son of the church as Ray
c. Naylor? The very cause Of this
trouble was the dominance of the
church's political activity in the
Guards affairs. And now, however
uGobjectionable Mr.. MAYORS selection
might have otherwise have been, his
selection at this time must have the
effect of intensifying the opposition
to this sort OF policy that created the
first trouble

1t has long been a popular notion that
clergymen's sons are less likely 10

to the fact that when q clergyman's

attracts public notice his fathers call

when the son of n lawyer or OF a mem
