That was the tenor of the Instruction

rage, has been equally fond Of telling TO

the word assiduously-that he has no

1t has, however, been noticeable that
nearly all the pretended instructions.

CARLISLE'S ARGUMENT.

he was able to impress his views upon
the understanding of the Senators who
were present at the hearing.

THE KIND OF PAVING.

The Tribune Wednesday morning had
an article on the cost of street paving
by the various methods proposed,
Four STYLES of paving were specified
and estimated upon-two having for
top dressing California oil. and for
base. macadam; the third was straight
macadam: the fourth, macadam for
base. with top finish of asphaltum.
The two which specified the oil dress
ing may be dismissed without much
discussion: neither has been seriously
urged here and both are too light for
even the ordinary traffic In the resi-
dence districts. Repairs would neces-
sarily be frequent. and the street SO
treated would commonly be found To
be out OF repair.
This leaves for serious considera-
ton two styles Of streetmaking, the
straight macadam and the macadam
base with asphaltum finish.
The first with nine-inch depth, would
make a substantial road and with the
universal cement curb and cutters,
would for forty-foot roadway, cost
s27O per front foot, 1t Is a roadway
usual for turnpikes. and ordinarily
satisfactory for the traffic upon them.
though requiring constant attention.
for a break in the surface means the
quick making OF a hole and rut We
think that II would be mistake 10
adopt II for the streets Of this city,
or OF any city. 1t is hard to keep
clean, and Is noisy and dusty. Cities
do not content themselves with mac
adam streets.
The fourth style we consider the
ideal street for the residence portions
of this city. It's cost compared with
the straight mac cadam. is as SO so per
front foot to $40; that is. this style
costs so cents more per front foot than
the macadam, But Its advantages
amply repay the excess In first cost
For, It Is a smooth, lasting pavement:
asphalt. Is the ideal material for road
making It is easily swept and washed
It's chemical constituents are iden-
tical with the material used thou
sands of years ago. and found still in
perfect preservation; IL was the road
material OF the ancient Peruvinns.
whose roadways were the wonder and
the admiration OF the Spanish invad-
ers. Streets paved with this material
have been in constant and heavy use

Tor from ten To fifteen years, without

cheney Of this form OF paving is dem
onstrated not only from ancient and
foreign use, but from our own local
and modern use.
We conclude, therefore, that for the
residence districts the macadan base
with Utah rock asphaltum top is the
thing; for the business districts, the
same aspha1tum with concrete base
should be used. BY that method we
shall have In both cases perfect streets,

AND SMITH WILL FALL.

When falls the coliseum then falls
Rome" When fall the apostles OF po-
lygamy then falls Joseph f, Smith 1t
is coming, Mr.. Smith. Your oowardly
interposition of other victims between
you and rctribution will be all In vain
You have struck at the gate OF the cit
adel which is your own defense.
Mohammedan Moros held their wives
and children In front Of them to shield
them from the bullets of the American
soldiery In the recent contest In the
crater, but the brigands and robbers
were slain TO the last man.
You thrust women and children, you
drive your own brethren of the APOSTLE
ship in front OF you to save you from
the vengeance OF an outraged and
aroused Nation, but II is all In vain.
These innocent victims may perish be-
cause of your pcrfldy, but you will go
also.
If you had been n man loving your
fellowmen, instead OF merely loving the
opposite sex, 1t would have been In
your heart to spare all your people from
the afflictions which have recently
come upon them, by yourself with
drawing from the position which you
have dishonored. Not the punishment
OF all the other polgamists In the
church. not the dismissal OF any two OF
of any six others from the hierarchy.
not anything else within your tyranni-
cal power could have been so effective
for good as your abdication of the Of
fee of president and your declaration
that your community must be In aC-
cord with law, and therefore must be
led by men who are not lawbreakerS.
You could have made peace by this act.
ct would be futile to suggest that you
could have gained the same result by
setting your household in order In con-
sonance with the law of civilization, for
that you will not do until you have
grown older and olderD But you have
declined the great opportunity to save
a whole people by an act Of personal
immolation. your method is TO make a
holocaust OF the general right that
your special privilege may be pre-
served,
You Will not succeed, Mr.. Smith The
Mormon people are saying In every
home and on every street corner now.
IF we are to punish polygamists let us
rid ourselves entirely Of polygamy. If
John w. Taylor and Matthias f. Cowley
must be thrust out of their high place
and from their beloved associations.
then let Brother Joseph F. Smith re-
sign. pass the scepter TO other and
cleaner hands, and let the church go Oh
as a church ard not as "A monopolistic
organization for crime and commercial
robbery"
1t Is coming. Mr. Smith.
You are old. Mr. Smith, and growing
older day by day. Will you delay ac-
ton in your own case until You arc
crushed by the vengeance OF fate and
until your last days shall be days of
horror? Or Will you abdicate your
power now and live your remaining
years I'm the consciousness than one act
of your life has been In the service of
your fellowmen?

TRICKERY AND TREACHERY

Nearly all his life Joseph F. Smith
has practiced perfidy toward the United
States of America.
At one time In his offensive career he
pretended that the battle against the
Government and the treachery toward
the people of the Nation on his part
was ended forevermore-provided the
Government would forgive his crimes
of the past and permit him to live
free citizen within the borders of the
Republic during mis- remaining years.
Joseph f. Smith made the specific
pledee that he would obey the laws,
that he would abstain from polySamy
and poIygamous living. He received a
specific fulfillment OF the amnesty
proclamation, for he was brought back
from his exile and outlawry, he was re-
stored TO freedom in the community,
and he began to exercise the rights of
citizenship.
Joseph F. Smith contemptuously Vio-
lated, boastfully violated, and now con-
tinues to violate not only the law. but
the solemn covenant which he made TO.
this country.
In the perndy, the crime and the trca-
son OF his career he is abetted and sup
ported by Reed Smoot. who still re-
mains a member Of the quorum OF
apostles and a strong force in the HE
rarchy Of the Mormon church Joseph
F. Smith lives with five wives who
have borne to him a total OF eleven
children since he pledged his honor that
he would refrain from this offense. II
Reed Snoot were not In harmony with
this life of Joseph f. Smith, Reed
Smoot would be elected from the quo
rum of apostles as were John w. Tay
lor and Matthias T.. Cowley. The fact
that Reed Smoot remains an apostle is
proof that he Is In accord with the
polygamy of Joseph F. Smith.
Can this Nation trust any act or any
word of Joseph F. Smith or Reed
Smoot in view OF the past betrayals of
the Nations confidence OF what value
is anything that Smith may say or do,
or Smoot may say or do In the present
| crisis?
Neither Smith nor Smoot has con-
ceded anything TO national dignity. has
| expressed any patriotism, has at
| tempted any correction of the crimes OF
| the hierarchy, except on occasions when
vengeance threatened to descend upon
themselves or some interests which they
F, hold dear.
| The Senate OF this country should
know that the leopard has not changed

prevent a constitutional amendment to

There was a sound OF whistling wings
over the house last night.
And the wild duck dropped In the creek
below, resting upon his flight,
Now the malard with his emerald neck is
swimming round I'm the light
A warm wind from the mountains came
pouring like tide
The strong Chinook has broken the heart
OF winters Icy pride,
And the snow has all gone up like smoke
from prairie sunny and wide.
Here are gray buds Of the crocus. but shut
and SilVcry dim.
Along the creek there are mouse-ears on
the willows red and SLIM
a blue III feeds there upside down I'm the

Hill SHOWS melt and rush In streams bub-

Cattle are drifting out OF the hills, we'll

And soft clouds blowing across the blue
have beauty half divine.
New grass and sweet will soon be here.
and the patient herd grow strong,

None can be glad as we are glad unless
they have waited as long.
