THE QUICK REMEDY.

The Chicago Evening Post summar-
ICES the situation OF Utah as follows:
a most undesirable and undemocratic
condition exists In Utah. The Mormon
church seems to have increased rather
than diminished it's influence upon polit-
cal auairs In that commonwealth and
ab0ted not at all its secret official attl-
tude toward the sovereign union OF Amer
lean States.
Then the question arises, Will the Ma
tional Government cherish and upbuild
the present conditions here. encourage
them until they shall have spread
throughout the intermountain region
and until rectincation Will be impossi-
BILE by any but the harshest kind of
measures; or VIII Congress and the Ex.
ecutiye give signal warning to the
prophets. seers and revelators to cease
their tyrannies, their lawbreaking and
their treason2 To cast Reed Smoot
from the Senate is to serve notice that
the United States Will not go into po-
litlcal partnership with the Mormon
church To follow the event by a Con-
stitutional amendment placing the con-
troll OF polygamy under Federal jurs-
In this country for the practlcers OF
! this inhibited offense are afraid OF the
Nation and not afraid of the State
government. To refuse recognition in
Federal office for any one who is a
member or creature OF the hierarchy is
to enforce deference-willng or un-
willIne-to the sentlmentalities of the
country. and is to inculcate In the
minds of the growing generation OF
Mormons a patriotic devotion to the
National Government.
II the Chicago Post is right, what
possible justification can there be for q
further paltering with this question by
Congress or the administration? The
dignity of the Government and mercy
for the Mormon people both demand
that q right conclusion shall be sud-
denly reached. To protract the contro-
versy is to provoke more treason and
more severe measures to correct wrong.

DOUBLE DEALING.

4 special writer for the Chicago
Tribune finds that President Roosevelt
Is suspicious OF the double dealing Of
the Chinese Government
And we'll may the Chief Executive
of this Nation be aroused on this sub
ject Not only suspicion but indigna-
ton is justified.
And when the President gets through
with the Chinese problem we trust that
he Will turn his attention to another
case Of double dealing nearer him. 1t
Is unnecessary to state that reference
is hereby made to the Smootlerite cam
paign for the destruction of the Re
publican party, under The pretense of
supporting its policies It's principles.
and Its dignity in the iHtermountain
country
Chinese double dealing Is mere child's
play compared with that of the hies
rarchs ana their lgnoble allies

FRENCH SENTIMENT.

The present strained relations be-
tween Germany and France recalls a
tender story OF the visit Of the German
Empress to q national school In Alsace,
one of the provinces which was seized
by Germany from France as result 4
the war a generation ago.
Being greatly pleased with tho alert
intelligence OF the pupils. the Empress
promised to extend any favor which
was in her power to grant. The head
of one OF :he classes, a girl OF twelve
years. trembling little maid, arose
and, in a pathetic voice, said II beg
you then, Madam. that you Will permit
French to be taught in this school,
Although the request and It's conces-
press kept her word, and for the first
time since France yielded this province
to her conqueror, the language OF the
people will be taught In school to the
children OF the people.
And, too, the situation is reminder
that monuments for the provinces of
France stand In the Place de la Con-
corde In Paris. and that upon the mon
uments for Alsace and Lorraine there
always hang wreaths of flowers and
immortelles, placed there by the French
people, who go daily TO renew their
pledge to redeem the lost provinces.

THE NEWS AND LIBEL.

The Deseret News is anxious to have
the libel law OF this State amended
and improved" Ever since a jury
found that the charges OF improper
conduct in public positlon-made by
The Tribune against the son-in-law Of
the editor OF the Deseret News-were
true the church organ has been great
ly agitated. 1t would like to have
law under which its favorite crimes OF
polygamy and public boodling could be
conducted without criticism from the
press. All that its pet criminals ask
is 70 be let alone-let alone entirely:
neither arraigned for their lawbreak
ing nor subjected to reprehension by
the press or the citizenship of the COM
munity.
The wish of the News may be easily
granted. provided the church can select
plant Legislature once more. In
that case the proposed now law can
be drafted In the office of the hierarchy
and the Legislature can be commanded
TO pass the same without amendment,
and the Governor Will be instructed to
sign It, And so VIII 1t be-if the
church owns the Legislature and so
commands that body.
We suggest to the Deseret News that
the hierarchy should couch the bill In
very clever language, otherwise the
Deseret News, which has DETAINED the
good Women OF Utah and the Nation,
which has outrageously libelled and
insulted the Christian ministry of the
land, may be caught IN its own tolls
When II insinuates that journalism
needs checking for criticislng profess
ors Of religion. 1t makes q vivid re-

out the years. No infamy has been be-

SMOOT IN THE BUNCH.

| A man born In Utah a Gentle, and
lover Of the State and the Nation. n
law observing patriot tells The Trib-
une that the most awful confession he
ever read from human utterance is the
statement made by Joseph F. Smith
before the Committee on Privileges and
Elections at Washington, and quoted in
the editorial columns of this paper on
tho morning of March /.
The gentleman remarks: IF the
Senate OF the United States could only
sense the significance of President
Smiths confession and could only
realize the unquestionlng support
which Reed Smoot gives TO Smith and
men of his class. all the rest of the
case might be thrown away. and this
alone would complete the exclusion of
Smoot from that lawmakIng body.
Joseph F Smith confesses that he
cannot CHlue OlleIS LOT ulSObtyllb bhS
law because he is in the same status
and 1t is his opinion that no other man
(and this would include Reed SmooD
connected with the presiding authori-
ties could object to the lawbreakers
any more than he could do so himself.
That means that Reed Smoot is either
In polygamy or is so pledged and obll
gated to the polygamous authorities
that he dare not criticize their practice
or fail to sustain them by his vote and
voice
Apostle Reed Smoot sustains Joseph
T, Smith as the Voice of God. If Smith
told the truth Smoot is convicted; and
that Reed Smoot sustains Smith as the
Voice OF Truth is evidenced by his vote
and his sermon at the last October con-
ference. Smoot is part of the polyga-
nous bunch. That is all there is to tho
case"

Current Comment t
THE MARRIAGE FLIGHT.

Now York Mail
There seems to be no doubt" says
the soclologist, Lester F. Ward, that
the wedding tour Is a survival OF the
marriage flight following wife capture,
made to escape the fury of the wife's
relatives" Marriage being no longer
accompanied by sandbaGeing, why
simulate the fright OF the fugitiyes OF
the fury OF the relatives In what re-
spect is the so-called honeymoon" fol-
lowing marriage any saner than the
"horning" and 'belling" and "shiver-
eelng" and other tokens OF a vanished
fury" with which young couple are
made TO feel that they may have com
mltted mistake In becoming united In
the holy bonds OF matrlmony2
That so many young people come out
of the ordeal Of a wedding tour still
fond OF each other and even braVely as
serting that they have had a splendid
time Is evidence rather OF the strength
OF their love than of the wisdom or
charm of the convention to which they
conformed. 1t iS a tour without any
object, taken under peculiarly exnctlng
conditions, Both bride and groom are
apt to be fatigued by their preparations
for marriage. They are making radi-
cal alteration I'm their way of life. They
are exchanging the standpoint of the
individual for that OF the family Tho
first weeks OF married life at best are
something OF a test To spend them In
the fatigues of purposeless travel, In
going from hotel to hotel or even In re-
naming Mt some one resort Is to un-
dertnke the test under the most unfa-
Vorable conditions.

DISINTEGRATION.

In answer to an inquiry made by one
OF It's correspondents, the Christian
Herald says
II tho authorities OF any district, and
the citizens OF tho place, object to tho
presence OF Mormon missionaries. 1t is
within their power TO notify tho Inter TO

right to do this. not on the ground OF
any one may hold. II he choesos), but be
cause tho propagation OF Mormon social
ideas alone is sufficient TO cause trouble
In community, and would ultimately re-
suit In breaking up homes.
This Is the result of Smithism and
Smootlsm upon the Mormon church.
After the settlement of the old trou-
bles with the Nation which followed
closely upon the manifesto of 1S9 in
hibiting polygamy, the Mormon peo-
pie were regarded as were other Chris
tlans and their creed was respected ac-
cording TO the worlds understanding of

that the present prophets. seers and
revelators have practiced gross fraud
upon civilization. and the natural op-
position to polygamy and political In

prominent Mormon, who was once
a polygamist, but who has lived ac-
cording to the law and the manifesto
since 1890 remarked to The Tribune: II
cannot understand how President
Smith and his imitators can excuse
themselves for breaking their word,
for defying the law and for transgress-
ing against the revelation from God. II
they loved the Nation and II they loved
their own people, they would consent
to a REIMBURSEMENT of their polyga-
nous relations no matter how painful
that act might be. They promised TO
make the sacrifice and 1T is their duty
10 make It. What right have they to
insist upon the qualification of their
whims and desires at such an awful
cost 10 Utah and the Mormon people?
The work Itself has been brought al
most to a standstill In It's operations
abroad, and disintegration has set in at
home. Believing in the theological
doctrine of the eternity and plurality
OF the marriage covenant, as 1 do and
as they also do. IT seems to me that
they should be wllllng-for the sake OF
peace and honor-to obey the law and
keep the covenant during the little time
that they must remain on earth. Be
