THE GUARD FAILS.

1t was a disastrous custer which
Governor Cutler perpetrated upon the
National Guard OF Utah when he drove
1t from it's armory so that o party of
Smoot tooters should occupy the quar-
ters, for their own political and per-
sonal glory. From that date the Guard
became virtually disintegrated. and
now the inspection by authority of the
Federal Government shows the ranks
to be so depleted and the condition of
the Guard so deficient, that the Ma
tional appropriation of six thousand
dollars will be lost TO the State because
Of the report which the regular army
officer. inspecting the Guard, viii be
obliged 10 make.
1t was a costly blunder 10 break up
the Guard and lose this money simply
to toot for Smoot The use OF the ar
mory for political purposes, In fact for
any other than Guard purposes. had
been expressly prohibited by q resolu-
ton Of the board OF control six months
before the armory was raided for this
political toot and the Guard function
that had been set for the date driven
from It's home 1t could not possibly.
therefore. have been construed as a
slight upon the Smoot toot TO have en-
forced that resolution, and held the
armory for the Guard. Governor Cut
Ter was one of the board which unanl-
mously passed the resolution denying
the use OF Guard quarters TO all except
the Guard. But without hesitation he
yielded TO the Smoot tooters and, over
turning with a word the barrier which
he himself had set up. ousted the Guard
from It's use of It's armory that night as
1t had arranged to do, in order that
Smoot toot might be footed.
1t was a costly toot, for the Guard
and for the State. But then, what can
be expected when a church In control
of civil affairs has so many things on
its hands? What was It the milliner

THE GORKY IMPUDENCE.

Maxim Gorky might we'll have spared
the word when he sent his impudent
message to Boise. 1t is the right OF
American citizens to speak their minds
on all public questions. We quarrel
among ourselves about policies and In
cidents; we disagree with vigor and
explosive energy (God forbid that the
time may ever come when we shall
not) upon measures and men; we call
each other things that we should not,
In the heat OF controversy, and when
wrought up to the proper (or improper)
pitch, we use language not ut to print.
All these are American traits, they
show virile strength. and demonstrate
the earnestness and power with which
the American citizen attacks public
questions.
But II is quite another thing when a
raw foreigner lands upon our shores
and begins to "bleat' about our corrupt
courts and our despotlc officials A
Russian, used to a real despotism, and
used to the rulings of courts that are
mere methods of autocratic outrage, is
pardonable when he lays bare the reck-
Ing evils OF his own nation. and de-
nounces the corrupt courts and infa-
nous officials. But IT is not excusable
In him to assume without the least op-
portunity for investigation that all this
maladministration and official corrup-
ton prevail also in the United States.
What he says ho has had no means OF
knowing: IT is not true; and he is
guilty Of an inexcusable, inBolent i'm
pertinence,
The American people have rever
taken kindly to the impudent and nso-
lent criticisms OF foreign visitorD or

GRANTS CASE.

Editor Of Jhe Tribune;-R4ferrins 10 your
ancnt tho expulsion OF Apostles Taylor and
Cowley-does Apostle Hcber ]. Grant stond in
any different light than Taylor and Cowley2
Very respectfully yours READER
San Diego, Cal. April Il, 1906.
There is no moral difference between
the two cases
Taking the admitted facts as follows
Apostles John w Taylor and Matthias
f. Cowley have been married 10 addi-
tIonal plural wives since the manifesto; /;
and Heber ]. Grant has lived with plu-
raj wives since the manifesto Grant
has violated the law Just as Taylor and
Cowley have done; he has violated the
manifesto just as Taylor and Cowley
have done; he has broken the covenant
to the country just AZ Taylor and Cow
ley have done, and there Is no more
logic I'm spariDg Grant and excluding
Taylor and Cowley than there would
be In turning burglar free because he
had not also committed forgery or en-
CouraGing forgery because the forger
was not also a housebreaker.
Our correspondent must know that
the entire proceeding against Taylor
and Cowlcy was of the most fraudulent
character, intended not as a rectfica-
tion Of polygamous wrong In this COM
munity, but to protect polygamous
wrong IT WAS to prevent the adoptiOn
of a constitutional amendment which
should give to the Federal Government
control over polygamy. 1t was to pre-
vent the expulsion from the Senate of
the representative of a polygamous
king. IL was 10 prevent any possible
prosecution OF Joseph f. Smith the
chief polygamist OF ALL and OF those
who stand near to him In affection and
purpose.
only shallow observers will be de-
ceiyed by the fraud, Thinking people
know that neither the act nor the word
OF the present chief hierarch is TO be
trusted. He speaks a falsehood as he
has lived a falsehood toward this Gov
ernment nearly all his lifetime.
II the movement to expel Apostles
Taylor and Cowley had been made be-
fore the conference In formal language,
and il II had been intended TO state the
facts 1t might we'll have been under
this title. "A resolution to protect the
big polygamists by sacrificing the lit

SERVED HIM RIGHT.

A polygamist has been sentenced to the
penitcntiary In Utah. But don't get cX-
cited Nothing very wonderful has hap
pcned, The convict Is a Gentle. The
(Chicago) Interior
What would you. Mr. Interior The
wretched Plant. the guilty man to
whom you refer, had ample opportu-
nifty to join the church. IL he had so
little intelligence that he did not know
how TO commit his crime with impunity
he deserved the penitentiary or insane
asylum. Due Difference should be paid
by every man to the sentimentalitles
OF his community. That was the argu-
ment of the Descret News some time
ago on this subject. and every biga-
mously inclined individual who comes
to Utah has had ample notice through
the church press. There is a way ID
do these things and If the right way"
be adopted man may live with five
wives, or with two women neither one
of whom is his wife. (To be plain. let 1t
be understood that the latter reference
Is to Apostle c. w. Penrosc, editor of
the Deseret News. who testified to the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections that he was living with two
women-neither one being his legal
wife-and who more recently certified
himself as a widower-by which, to
paraphrase Weller. 1t may be assumed
that more widowers get married than
single men,)
The wretched creature, Plant. obsti-
nately proceeded to do this wicked
thing in a wicked way. He had no
perception of the fitness of things. He
should have done his sinful act I'm q
righteous way. He should have told
the victim of his lust that he was TAX

tions through the usual channels.
What then? All the machinery of the
church would have been at his COM

the case had been proved against him,
he might have been dropped from some
ecclesiastical rank which he held; II

IN THE MATTER OF RIBS.

Law Notes
The question whether a person SO
years old was capable OF sustaining a
"green-stick fracture" of a rib arose In
German against St Louis Transit com
pany. 96 Mo App. 6O2, and in regard
thereto Bland. p. j., said: Ribs are of
ancient origin. Adam had an cxpe-
rie1ce with one which. II ne had not
had we would be In Paradise today
as free, EullelesS and Joyous as a
singing bird In Edcns bowers. instead
Of sitting here laboring and sweating
over this rib question. Ribs arc not
only ancient, but common. We all
carry them about with US and have
them on our bill-of-fare every day, and
IL seems like tsic) their qualities and
propinquities would be matter of
common knowledge, But we must con-
fess that until we read IL I'm the bill
OF exceptions we never thought that
there was any sympathy between ribs
and green sticks, or dry ones" The
court finally came TO the conclusion
that the jury was best qualified to
judge whether 90 aged rib could still
emulate the coy green stick. believing
that no court Of law could set an arbi-
trary time limit when a rib would be
concluslvely presumed to have out
grown the coquettish pliancy of youth
and settled down into the unbendine
brlttlenesS OF old age

INESCAPABLE POINT.

Among the sixty speeches which It
is surmised Will be delivered upon the
Smoot case 1t Is presumed that some
one or more Will discuss the protest
against Reed Smoot as If 1t were an
attack upon the freedom OF religion In
this land. Premonitions to this effect
have already reached the public
Senators Warren of Wyoming and Per-
kins of California. We are not sur
prised that this view should be held
and asserted by the friends of the Nor
mon apostle. Ii is upon this theory
alone that they can guard him In his
seat. However unreasonable from the
view point OF fact may be their attempt
TO charge religious persecution. and
their theorizing concerning the sanctity
OF religious faith. they are left without
any other claim In his behalf These
things are not involved; no effort is be-
ing made TO curtail religious liberty:
no assault has been made upon any
mans creed, Apostle Reed Smoot is not
being opposed because he is a Mormon:
and yet without an argument implying
all these things his defenders are left
dumb.
We sincerely trust that on the other
side there Will be many Senators who
will persistently and insistently main
tain the one great point. 1t was estab-
lished by ex-Secretary Carlisle In his
notable address before the committee.
1t rises to the mental sight from every
page of the testimony In the hearing
1t Is the one unacceptable thing. And
there Is no reason why any Senator
should fail to read 1t as the paramount
fact
Reed Smoot Is an ambassador from
an alien kingdom to the Government Of
the United States. He Is not citizen
of this country In the moral sense of
the word. His allegiance TO the Con-
stitution and laws is a secondary devo-
tion with him. The monarchy whose
emissary he Is, has broken the treaty
which IT made with this Nation. He
should receive his passports precisely
as would the minister of any other
government which was breaking its
covenants to this country, and was
secretly making war upon our institu-
tions.
That is tho point; and 1t has no more
to do with religion than ii has to do
with wireless telegraphy.
