SHOULD BE WITHDRAWN.

There appears 10 be no basis at all
for the claim in the now well-known
'circular No. 81 Of the Car Service
Association, that it is based upon the
Congressional railroad rate law. First
or all, that law explicitly excerpts from
its operation all matters that are treat
ed of IN it, where the transportation
or the business done is wholly within
the boundaries of any State, as this ore
business here certainly is. Next,
there is no direct reference in the bill
to the matter treated of in the circular,
and nothing that can be so construed.
save in the general provision that all
such details are to be uniform, TO be
under the rule OF publicity, and with
out discrimination for or against any
shipper.
There can be no question that the
circular, if strictly enforced, would be
q severe If not destructive blow TO
the samplers. These are an impartial
agency between the ore re-producers and
the smelters; on the one hand, they as
sure the seller the full value Of his ore.
and. on the other, they must be guar
antee to the smelters that tho ore in
fact contains the substances and values
pu1portedNto- be in them. The smelter
is thus protector both TO the seller
and TO the buyer Of ore.
With the samplers driven out Of bust
n s, the ore-producer would be COM
PEELED to sell to the smelter direct,
without anv intermediary. He might
not lose anything by this but it is GER
tain that he would prefer to pay the
sampler fees and have that interme
diary. And without it, the smelters
would have a much more complete and
arbitrary control OF the ore market
than they have now, or can have as
long as the samplers are in business.
The sampling method has grown up
as a natural exponent Of a general do.
mand. 1t prevails generally through
out all the mining regions. We are sure
that the ore-producers generally want
that method to continue, and would
feel good deal at sea were it seriously
crippled or crushed out. And the con

ably is, that circular No. having been
issued under n misapprehension Of the

ANSWERS BY ABUSE.

The Deseret News, the organ of the
Mormon church. has entered into the
arena of discussion with the Rev. n.
+. Clemenson, of Logan. The attitude
and the utterance OF the News in this
debate are characteristic Of that pre-
tended mouthpiece of the Lord Al
mighty, 1t does not descend to sour
rility and ribaldry, for the News is
already there without any dcscension.
1t abuses Mr.. Clemenson, falsifes his
reputation, defames his character, and
maliciously distorts his remarks,
After speaking Of Mr.. Clemenson as
if he were unworthy of notice, the
News, as usual, e1hausts its editorial
space in vituperatively noticing him.
Why all this virulent antagonism on
the part of the organ Of the Mormon
church7 The reason is carefully with
held from the columns OF that paper;
and the significant omission is thought
to pass unnoticed in n consideration Of
the foul language with which the News
defames the preacher. But people who
possess the power of memory will not
fail to recall the recent tremendous ar
raignment of the Mormon hierarchy by
this same Rev. \. E, Clemenson In an
open letter to the world, in which COM
munication Mr.. Clemenson challenged
President Joseph i. Smith and the 9TH
er members Of the First Presidency of
the Mormon church to debate with him
the Mormon church propositions that
it, the Mormon church, is "the only
true and living church upon the face
of the earth; the kingdom OF God; the
only legal government that can exist
in any part Of the universe; that plural
marriage is the foundation Of the fab
ric of Christianity In such debate
Mr.. Clemenson proposed to take the
negative, and asked the prophets, seers
and revelators OF the Mormon church
to take the affirmative. They dared
not answer his communication-eith
to accept or refuse the challenge; and
the Deseret News did not dare to give
the facts to its readers. The News was
stunned for considerable period, but
has sufficiently recovered itself now
to indulge in a ribald comment upon
the man whose dignitied challenge
neither the News nor the prophets of
its church had the fairness to accept.

A CANDID ADMISSION,

The Preston (Idaho) News, Mormon
paper pretending to be Republican,
prints on it's editorial page a lengthy
article under the head Of dubois g
Record, the introductory part of
which is quoted in today's Tribune.
The Preston News is popularly sup
posed to reflect the opinions of Joe
Smith and Bill Bulge, the chief prophet
and the :polygamous follower of the
chief prophet of the Mormon church.
There may be much public interest in
it's candid expression of their view.
Meeting the assertion OF the Pres
ton News that it is unfair to drag
Idaho into the Reed Smoot fight, the
inquiry naturally arises why should
Idaho permit herself to be thus
draggedl That State had ample notice
of the danger. For years The Tribune
has been warning the people of Idaho
that il the Mormon hierarchy at Salt
Lake were permitted to dominate Idaho
politics, our neighbor State would soon
be in tho same distressing condition
politically as is Utah Idaho was also
warned by some of her own citizens
that If she would escape public odium in
the United States, on account, of Smoot-
ism and polygamy and treason, she
must keep her legislation and her poll
tics free from the corrupting influence
Of the Mormon chiefs at Salt Lake.
Idaho ignored all that advice, and the
fault is with her ruling powers. it
was neither Senator Dubois nor Hon.
Thomas Kcarns, nor both together, who
dragged Idaho into the Reed Smoot
fight Certain scheming politicians of
that State dragged the hierarchy into
commanding position "a the politics
of Idaho, and so far they have refused
TO be dislodged. -...-
The Preston News, speaking doubt
less for Joe Smith and Bill Bulge, ad
mits and even boasts that if Smoot
were elected from the Senate the Nor
mons would name his successor and
would control him. All that is true,
And yet that big truth furnishes no
reason why he should not be dismissed,
but rather proves the necessity for
such action. II the Mormon church will
name Reed Smoot successor and will
control him, the whole case against
Smoot and the hierarchy is established
Not only should Smoot be expelled, but
his successor and that successors sue
cessor until the crack Of doom, if nee
essary, so that this State Of Utah shall
not be misrepresented in the Senate of
the United States, and so that the Ma
ton shall not be insulted by the pres
ence in its high parliamentary body of
a man who is appointed by, and owes
his allegiance to, an alien and blasphe-
nous church.
The organ OF Joe Smith and Bill
Bulge expresses what its masters
wished had been true and yet what they
know to be false, when it intimates
that the Mormon church controlled
while he was in the Senate Thomas
Kearns of Utah. Had the church been
able to control Senator Kearns there
would have been no Senator Suther-
land.

Dubois $ Record

Dubois and Tom Kearns, the owners
of the Salt Lake Tribune. are schem-
ing 10 unseat Reed Smoot because. as
they say, he is Mormon and owes his
election to the Mormon people and will
lbe controlled by them while he Is in
the Senate. Now 1t Is about time for
tine American people TO ask II 1t makes
any difference who Is the Senator from
Utah, as, whoever he is. he must owe
his election to the Mormons OF Utah.
and will always be controlled by them,
the Same people 10 whom he is looking
for re- election, whether he is
Catholic, Mormon or a Methodist, a
Jew or a Gentle, or whether his name
is Reed Smoot or Tom Kearns or plain
John Doe, as the result is sure to be the
same. i refer TO this phase OF the
question again because II does matter
to Idaho how much more unenvlable
publicity the Dubois -kearns gang is
going to give US. while they seem de-
termined TO make the people OF Idaho
the butt OF the Reed Smoot flasco.
II seems altogether unfair 10 drag
Idaho Into the Reed Smoot fight simply
because the Mormons OF Idaho dropped
Dubois at the same time that the Nor
mons OF Utah gave Tom Kearns TO un-
derstand that they had no further use
for him 1t is not only unfair, but
wholly without a shadow of an excuse
because there is nothing to be gained
IL they succeed in their effort TO turn
Smoot out, as the Mormons will name
his successor, and will control him after
he is named. just as they did Tom
kearns while he was Senator from

UNRULY SPIRITS.

Tho people of Utnh, with tho exception of
n few unruly spirits are peaceful, sociabic,
kind, and Industrious minding their own own
business, and lenying their neighbors TO mind
theirs.-Dcscret News Editorial.
Among the few ''unruly spirits Of
Utah who are not peaceful, who are
not sociable, who arc not kind. who
are not Industrious, who do not leave
other people to mind their own bust
ness, one may class as the chief the
prophet, seer and revelator of the Nor
mon church, Certainly he cannot be
wild rampage of hateful utterance
against his "encmies ''-meaning the
rest Of mankind Sociable he is not;
for his pharisaicsl exclusiveness is il
lustrated by the sermon of one of his
devoted wives who takes all her in
that a Mormon girl should not be per
mltted to associate with q GENTLE
young man, no matter how moral that
young man might be. Kind he is not;
as his outrageous treatment of Charles
"A. Smurthwsite and John Scott amply
testifes.' Industrious he may be, but
not exactly in the best sense of the
word; for his industry is only that of
the purloining magpie. He does not
permit other people to attend to their
own business; he prefers to attend to
II for them. He takes charge of all
communications between the Mormon
people and their Heavenly Father. He
assumes the custody of all their sur
plus earnings, and even some that is

THE ROUNDUP.

Just now Apostle Reed Smoot is
demonstrating TO the world that q
prophet of God can make a noise like q
politician. Mr., Smoot hangs up the ce-
lestial telephone. stops all communica
tions with the Throne OF Grace while
he gets out his whip with the long han
die and the longer lash and rounds up
both the willing and the reluctant OF
his Republican church quorum.
it is a great job for a prophet. How
we have improved since the ancient
times when the prophet went around
prophesying; when the man with sup
posed mission from Divinity had no
higher duty in life than to discharge
that special mission! Reed Smoot is
an alleged disciple of Jesus Christ, com.

SUMMER ETIQUETTE.

In the summer time etiquette Is mostly

starched shirts and heavy garments Tor
white linens and loose faunels. That

its Irresistible charm all those who sport
