A PRANCING FARCE.

The disreputable News, which last
year supported the discredited Morris
administration in It's tolerance of rob-
bing gamblers games and other forms
OF vice and degradation, is now ram
pant for the closing OF second-c ella SIS
theaters on Sunday OF course. this IS
mere hypocrisy on the part OF the
News, Its blatant outcry for the
sancity of the Sabbath is not In the
least for the Sabbath's salne, but is
simply it's way of attacking the pres
ent city administration for a transgres-

ingly upheld under an administration
that was I'm ecclesia stical leading
strings, And when We recall that In
addition to the defense of robbinc
games and vice that the News made in
behalf of that former administration,
the very Sabbath breaking which 1t
now condemns with such affected SOL
emnity and sincerity. was also ram
pant with It's consent and silence. the
hypocrisy and ulterior motive become
all the more apparent.
1t is characteristic OF the News tao
tics, also, that whenever a case OF this
kind comes up, that dsreputable sheet
lauds the Christian ministers. and un-
dertakes to make them the bulwark of
its position as 1t is doing now, though

TAKE A CHANCE.

Why attempt to resist destiny, Presi-
dent Joseph F. Smith?
Why protract the agony?
The inevitable is upon you You have
befooled the people OF the United States,
and have enjoyed immunity In your Of
fenses through a series or years, and
now the collapse OF your fabric Is Ger
tain.
Why not save your people from being
crushed under the ruins? Have YOU no
mercy for them? They have been your
loyal friends and supporters; they have
yielded freely of their substance to en-
rich you; they have given Of their peace
with the world TO crafty your whims.
VIII you not even make the small re-
turn which now lies within your power ?
President Smith. II you ,re not utterly
lost to reason, you 'mu now that your
plural marriage system and your BIAS
phemous assumption OF divine authority
and your reasonable teaching against
this country arc doomed They are
against law, against the sentimentality
OF the Nation, and against the common
sense Of this reasoning age Your nat
terers may seek to delude you into the
belief that your own people support
you in the profane and cruel absurdi-
ties Of your claims: but such are bad
advisors, for they conceal from you this
fact that the mass of the Mornons are
today expressing doubt Of you and In
dlgnation at your practices.
Even from your selfish viewpoint YOU
have everything to gain and nothing to
lose by making abdication Of your
tyranny before II Is too late. You might
now retire from the presidency OF your
church, and from this country, taking
with you your vast possessions OF fam
ily and fortune, and no one would seek
TO deprive you Of either. If you con-
tinue. when the storm bursts, YOU NAV

But when II thinks It can make q
point In It's conscienceless partisan
warfare against the present admins
tration, II has the shameless gall 10
hide under the cloaks of these same
ministers. as though that were its
habitual abiding place.
The truth of the whole matter is that
the News places Itself I'm this humiliat-
Ing position of seeking help from those
whom II habitually assails and de-
nounces, merely to make capital for
It's ecclesiastical deSpots. And who are
these that they arc entitled to mako
an outcry about purity and morality?
Faith-breakers. false to their oaths
and to their people, persistent deter
mined and oath-confessed deflers and
transsressors of the law of God and
of man, blatant polyeamists, who beg
for mercy and then sin again: by
bates set themselves up as judges OF
or spokesmen for, righteousness, purity
or morality? Shameless In their lives,
spectacular In their crimes, to have
these Offenders undertake to line up
with Christian ministers on the side of
religion and Dious sentiment, is to Jest
at sincere conviction, and is a bastard
ly offenSe to decency.

CARE FOR THE TREES.

The season of the year Is on for the
great annual cleanup. 1t Is Arbor
Day. Trees are to be planted, and the
premises of everybody in town are To
be cleansed, All this is well, and 1t Is
good work But there Is something
beyond. that is treated upon pertinent
ly by Mr.. John p. Sorensen, county
fruit-tree inspector 1t Is well TO plant
trees, but 1t is OF but little avail to
plant them unless they arc TO be taken
care of and made permanent growth.
Probably enough trees have been
planted In Utah since Arbor Day ex-
ercises first began to make this forest
Gone 20 the brush pile. Neglect. de-
structiveness and careless work In
selecting and planting have done their
damaging work, and but few OF all
the paintings remain Such trees as
adorn the city are not. as a rule, trees
planted on Arbor Day or under the
auspices OF the Arbor Day idea. but
were planted by the pioneers because
they wanted shade, and recalled the
beauty OF the groves In the lands where
they had formerly lived
The admonitons OF Mr. Sorensen
have especial reference 10 fruit trees,
but they are pertinent as to all trees;
and though they specifically refer to
spraying, they are applicable to all
needful care Of trees. He says 10 those

who viii spray them, that this Is not
his business. He Is not under the
least obligation TO do this work for the
owners of orchards 1t Is his business
to warn them not TO allow their orch
ards to become nuisances through
the breeding of pests In them, and to
enforce the law against them if they
persist in this; but IT is the work of the
owners of the orchards TO comply with
them. All of which is sound sense. as
well as good legal doctrine.
1t Is not the number of trees that are
planted that counts; not the size OF the
orchard nor the number OF orchards,
but I'm the first case the number of
trees that are made to last and TO
grow. and In the second, the orchards
that are kept In good order and made
to produce good fruit. To plant tree

impossible location or an inevitable
neglect. The only sound doctrine the
ONLY reason why the planting OF tree
on Arbor Day. or on any other day, Is
desirable is that the tree shall be cared
for and shall endure. Without that,
all is vanity. With 1t, all Is de-
light and Utah Will In time be a great
forest State. and will have valuable

form of tillage and product. And we
could wish that this determination TO

say as to the matters In which exApos.
ties Taylor and Cowley were ou, of
harmony with their quorum. leading to
the severance of their relations with II
nor was the subject dwelt upon at the
