command of Captain Kearns tries to
scuttle every legitimate enterprise in
Utah.
Was the Tribune muzzled in Febru
airy, 1902, when it published Congress-
man Sutherland's interview in which
he said that the Mormons were good
citizens, honest, upright, moral, and
law-abiding; that polygamy was aban-
doned and polygamous cohabitation
was rapidly dying out? Was the Her
aid and Presbyter (whom the Tribune
endorsed) honest when it said that
est preacher in Utah) was a sad case?
Was the Baptist Home Mission Month
| ly in an attitude of prayer when it
stated that Frank ]. Cannon was
ray of light in Utah? Is the Presby-
terrain board of home missions honest
when it illegally mails Tom Kearns'
vicious speech?
The insincerity of Tom Kearns and
| the Presbyterian board of home mis-
sions borders over into the ridiculous.
The Presbyterian board of home mis-
sions knows that Kearns is a Roman
Catholic, and they are doing all they
can to boost him and help him carry
on his campaign of SANDER against
Utah by distributing his infamous
speech, while at the same time they
will distribute vicious anti-Catholic
tract by the Rev. II. A. Schauffler, en-
titled. Dangers from Romanism."
This anti-Catholic tract says that the
Catholics are trying to control this na-
ton, our schools and our institutions;
that Catholics prosecute converts to
Professionalism and abuse missionaries.
That a lady missionary in Massachu-
sets was attacked and received bodily
injury by the direction of an Irish
priest, etc. Through the influence of
the Ministerial association, the Tri-
bune and Fred T. Dubois, the Mothers
Congress of Philadelphia took special
pains to announce that they would not
patronize any railroad that went
through Utah in going to their national
convention at Los Angeles. This was
undoubtedly very pleasing to the
preachers, Kearns and Dubois, for they
saw it was a great insult to Utah and
direct injury to every business In
terest in this state.
James Jay Smith & Co., a real estate
firm in the Marquette building, chi
cago, copied three articles from the
Salt Lake Tribune in circulars and
sent them to thousands of real estate
firms in the United States. This cir
cular warned the real estate men that
Utah was an unsafe place to buy land,
invest money, or make home, as the
Mormons did not want Gentiles in
| Utah, etc, etc.
| While Mr.. Fisher Harris and others
are doing a very commendable work
by inducing travellers to See America
First" they are handicapped by the
Tribune and the preachers, who pro-
claim that Utah is not an American
state; that her people are traitors, her
Ischools are disloyal, and her women
are "subjugated" and made to accept
lpolygamy.
The Intermountain Republican has
yet one thing to learn. 1t cannot con
sistently fight the Tribune and pat the
Ministerial association on the back. 1t
is like pounding a dog over the head
with club and rubbing liniment on
its tail to ease the pain.
The Tribune, the American" party,
the Ministerial association and Fred
T. Dubois are one in their efforts to
injure Utah, and they brand every
newspaper and individual who tries to
upbuild Utah as hirelings of the Nor
