LET CUBA ALONE.

We trust that the apparent activity
Of the United States navy and the
preparation which is alleged to be go
ing on in Washington for strengthen
ing the United States forces in Cuban
waters may turn out to have no special
meaning. The landing Of American
marines from tho cruiser Denver was
probably mistake, and it is crafty
ing to see that they were promptly re-
called. The United States cannot af
ford to guard President Palma 8 pal
ace, either with marines or with SOL
diers; it cannot afford TO step in and
uphold Palma S government or to put
down an insurrection in Cuba any more
than it can afford to go to Poland and
put down an insurrection against the
Russian government there. If Cuba is
an independent government, the United
States must keep her hands off, no mat
ter what the troubles of that govern
ment may be, 80 long as intervention
ia not asked and formally agreed to.
If the time ever comes when the Cuban
people conclude that they are not able
to maintain a national government of
their own, then it will be time enough
for an appeal to the United States and
for intervention by this country by
way of enforcing order and maintain

INSIST UPON DEATH
Move for Clemency in Weber Case Ia
Strenuously Opposed.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 14.-Strenu-
GUS efforts are being put forth to pre-
vent Adolph Weber's death sentence
being commuted to life Imprisonment.
Attorney General Webb, District At
torney K. P. Robinson and Sheriff
Charles Kepna Of Placer county and
Detective Charles II. Reimer were be.
fore Gov. Pardee this afternoon in op-
position TO any show of clemency.
It develops that the prosecution has
had in its possession for nearly eighteen
months an affidavit by F, Fred Hahn,
an electrician, in which he deposes that
he was with Weber in San Francisco
when the latter purchased the pistol
from Henry Carr, the pawnbroker, with
which he killed the members of his
family.
The affidavit was made at Reno.
New, April 18, 1905, and reached Au,
burn too late to be used in Weber 3
trial. The acknowledgment was made
before l.. A. Bonham, notary public
located in Reno

THE WAY IT IS TAUGHT.

In the quarterly conference at Nornal,
Uintah county, last week, Apostle Rud~
ger Clawson stated to his awed congre-
CATION that in order to be a good pre-
siding officer it was necessary to know
how to serve. He said that church Off
cials were the servants Of the people,
and then he added that President Smart
(the presiding officer of the local stake)
is at Vernsl not because of his own
choice, but because Of appointment from
higher authority.
That is the whole case of the local
ecclesiastical government of the Nor
mon church, and the whole case of the
hypocrItical teaching today condensed
into paragraph.
The president of the stake is not the
servant of the people; he is not the
choice of the people over whom he pro-
sides; he is not serving them, but is
serving the priesthood, His appoint
ment comes from the chief president
at Salt Lake; he does not dare refuse
that appointment; the people dare not
refuse to accept him. And even while
an apostle of the church stands in the
pulpit Of the local stake tabernacle,
telling the saints the fact the Presi-
dent Smart received his appointment
from a higher authority, and even
while the president of the stake is the
peoples master, that same apostle says
that the president is the servant of the
people-and "all Israel says amen to
his lying hypocrisy.
Strangers sometimes express wonder,
and even the people Of Utah are some
times surprised by the ease with which
falsehood and hypocricy are inculcated
among the Mormon people. The fore
going illustration should teach a. lesson.
The report from which The Tribune
gains its information is ublished in
o Mormon journal. There was no aston
ishment expressed, but rather a COM
plete acceptance of the apostolic teach
ing. The fact that it contained the sum
and substance of the Mormon system
of command and ohedience-the fact
that it exposed the whole inner work
ings of tho tyrannical ecclesiastical
method-seems TO have surprised the
Mormons who heard Apostle Clawson g
utterance as little as it shocked those
Utah -Mormons who give their po-
litical allegiance to the church quorums
and who see no harm in the church
teaching of falsehood.

1t will take up technical error of
some Methodist minister residing a
thousand miles away and it will labor
through columns of augmentation to
show that he has made a trivial mis-
use Of word concerning Mormonism; !;
but here at home where the church is
challenged on it's vital points, the Des-
eret News fees the fray and will not
meet the challenge. it is SO cowardly
that it dare not print the facts so that
it's own Mormon readers may know
wherein their system is vitally and
fatally assailed.
BY ignoring the facts it thinks that
it unmakes the facts; by refusing to
let its Mormon readers know the truth
it seems to think that 1T has undone
the thing which is done.
The Deseret Nows is the best proof
that the present Mormon system is a
fraud; for the Deseret News dare not
meet the issues which arc daily raised
against the pretensions Of the HE
rarchy

BITTER MORMON LETTER,

The bitterest letter that has ever
come to The Tribune from a Mormon
is the one published today and to
which is accorded some prominence
under it's broad title: "Teaching Un-
virtue With Impunity.' It is phase
Of the Mormon question which decent
people would have been glad to lot
alone in tho belief, or rather the hope,
that the wrongs would steadily recede
and righteous living would bear sway.
But the experience of Mormons them
selves, as recorded by the writer of the
letter upon which this comment is
made, evinces that they see no redress,
but rather an increase of evil so long
as every married man in their church
who is desirous Of taking unto himself
an additional woman consort can do
so and call it sanctifed religion,
Tho Tribune was fain to assume
that the law Of God forbade continued
plural marriage in the church since the
manifesto was accepted as such law by
the conference of the church; and
hoihlHR W ihio Wow ~ "oo Saoy w SNN
that gradually by adherence thereto
polygamous teaching would vanish
with the dying out of polygamous prac-
tice. But the hope has been all In
vain; polygamous practice has con-
tinued, according to the unquestionable
evidence. And the polygamous teach
ing is as rife today in Utah as ever
before. The showing made from the
official church works, the daily and
Sunday teachings Of the preceptors to
the young people, all demonstrate that
the idea of polygamous union as the
only method Of eternal exaltation is
taught with as much earnestness as
ever before in the history of the COM
munity. Our correspondent makes a
great point when he says the man who
teaches plural and spiritual wifery rs
a doctrine, is permitted TO continue in
his affiliations with young women Of
the Mormon church, when man who
would teach unvirtue in its unvar-
nished guise would be taken out and
shot as an enemy to the human race,
Taken altogether, this is the most in
tense letter ever received by The Trib-
une from a Mormon. 1t means what it
says, and it should awaken society to
sense Of responsibility. The writer
thereof is a person who separated him
self in his early childhood from the
Mormon church. He has no hatred for
it's people, for he has some relatives
no vengeance against the Mormons or
their church, for most Of his friend
ships have been formed within its
ranks. He deliberately asks Utah soci-
ETY. to attend to the latest social
question ever yet submitted TO the pub
lie for vital consideration.

FLEES THE FRAY.

The Deseret News Is past master of
the art of ignoring things which it de-
sires shall not exist.
There was tho challenge Of the Rev.
n. L. Clemenson. ID was pointed. 1t
was important. 1t directed itself to
the foundation of the Mormon super
structure Of religion. 1T proposed a
debate on the part of Rev, N. e. Glenn
enson in behalf of the Presbytery of
Utah and the presidency Of the Nor
mon church. The eminent prelates
who gather the tithes, and control the
bodies and souls, Of the adherents of
the Mormon church were too busy pro-
fting In their tasks to give attention
to this direct challenge Of their au-
thority; and so they failed to accept
and the Deseret News refused to no.
tice. BY this means it performs the
miracle of making what was so, go no
longer; its idea is that the facts shown
by Rev. n. e. Clemenson cease 10 be
facts and that by preventing its own
people from learning of the proposed
discussion and of the arguments ad-
duced in support Of the challenge, the
News will be forever able 10 deny to its
Mormon readers that any such chal-
lenge was ever made OF any such facts
ever existed.
Then there Is the letter of the Rev.
D. NJ Helmick. He attacks the Des-
eret News on vital point concerning
the pretended translation Of the Book
Of Mormon, Either the Prophet Joseph
Smith falsified or the Deseret News
falsifed; and the Rev. D. NJ Helmick
demonstrates this fact SO that all who
read may understand. He also chal.
lenges the Deseret News to a debate I;
but by refusing to recognize the chal-
lenge it assumes that until the thing
is published in the Deseret News the
thing never occurred. Furthermore it
relies (and past experience seems to
Justify that reliance) upon the fact
that if it fails to publish anything con-
cerning the matter it can, TO its own
readers, forever afterward deny that
any such situation ever existed
And then there is the tremendous
showing in The Tribune Of last Mon
day wherein the new edition Of the
Doctrine and Covenants was proved to
not contain tho Woodruff manifesto In
hibiting polygamy. By his publication
of this new edition without that revela-
ton, Joseph F. Smith has broken his
solemn covenant to the country; for he
said that be would cause the revelation
TO be inserted in the next edition Of the
book. The Tribune printed all the facts
and challenged the church organ to re-
ply. The Deseret News has been as
silent as, the grave. BY its refusal
to recognize the facts it assumes that
the facts themselves do not exist. It
expects at q later date, when the mem
ory of men shall become somewhat
dulled by the passing of time, that the
News can appeal to its own columns
and show that no such public occur
renee was known in these days.
What coward and what falsifier
the Deseret News Is to its own people!
