BALDWIN AND FORT DOUGLAS

II It We're left to Brigadier-
Frank u. Baldwin. II is evident that
Fort Douglas would not be in the de-
pleted condition now reported He takes
note of Its favorable geographical posi-
ton, which has been urged often In
The Tribune, Gen. Baldwin states that
the War Department realizes that men
could be sent from here to any point in
the country. as quickly as from any
post there is. And he adds the encour-
aging assurance that you may look
for a regiment or two OF the present
Philippine contingent when they re-
turn"
They Will be very welcome here. And
we should say that the soldiers debili-
tated from their service In the depress-
iEg and eneryating climate of the Phil
ipDineS would welcome most joyously
an assignment to Fort Douglas. For,
1t is an eminently desirable post.

Douglas. 1T would be an ideal place for
the concentration OF regiment or more

ments of artillery and cavalry. 1t Is to
be regretted that the Utah delegation
III Congress have not been able to i'm
press themselves upon the War De-
partment to the favorable consideration
of Fort Douglas as q great military
post. A good start was made In this
direction few years ago, but through
inattention on the part OF the delega-
tion, the interest OF the War Depart
ment was suffered to wane, and pro-
gress was stopped. 1t is TO be hoped
that the Departments concern for Fort
Douglas may again be aroused, and
that the post may be made, as It GER
tainly ought to be made. ono OF the

THE UINTAH WATERS.

We note the continuance OF appli-
try, and the filing OF notice of taking
out and use In pretty much all OF the
streams In that region. and even OF
Green river itself. The Uintah country
is probably the best watered region in
the State, but there is serious danger
as we are told, that the homestead oc-
cupants may be short Of water by rea-
son OF the extensive filings that will
take for speculative purposes or con-
tirgencies Of the future the water that
the homesteaders now need to apply In
the tillage OF their farms.
1t is a well-settled principle In this
State that the natural flow of the
streams should be available for irrigat-
ing the land along their borders or up
on which their waters can be brought
to advantage. In a general way, the
State laws apply In the taking out and
use OF the water of the public streams.
but the laws are slngularly inefficient
In the determination Of sthe detailed
methods of getting possession of the
water that may be applied. and in the
conservation OF the water for the i'm
mediate use Of the landh
1t seems to US that 1t would be a
good Idea for the Legislature at the
coming session. to make special pro-
visions for the control Of the water in
the Uintah country. There is really

THE WoMEN'S CLUB LETTER,

The letter which the Womcn's Ameri-
can Club of Utah has formulated 10 be
sent To Senators who Will have the de-
well written and absolutely faithful to
the facts. These ladies reside in this
city for the most part, and understand
the situation far better than any Sena-
tor can who has not made special ana
personal investigation OF conditions In
Utah. and the evils and corruptions at
tending the church domination of polit-
ical and civil affairs,
IT Is true. as the ladies of the Ameri-
can Club state, that "lt is not alone the
cry OF the Gentle women OF Utah" that
Smoot be ousted from his seat In the
Senate, but of a large number of the
Mormon women" 1t Is certainly true
that a very large portion OF the Nor
mon people both men and women, are
thoroughly disgusted with Smoot as
Senator, and also with the sort of poll
tics which sent him to the Senate. Mr..
Smoot was wholly unknown In the poll
tics of the State at the time he aspired
to this high position. No one for a mo-
ment would have considered him I'm
connection with that office or with any
other prominent office, on his merits as
an individual or on his standing as a
public man. His sole strength for the
realization of his personal ambitions In
this regard came from the church.
President Lorenzo Snow promised him
the Office. and President Joseph Il.
Smith fulfilled the promise made by
President Lorenzo Snow. That Ia all
there is to it 1t was solely and wholly
church transaction. made In pursu-
ance of the church domination In poll
tics and because the church leaders
wished to show their complete ability TO
enforce their DEGREES In any matter
they took in hand.
The women OF the American Club
should receive honor and the most
earnest support from every loyal person
in Utah in their determination to op-
pose to the uttermost the continuance
OF an alien force such as Smoot repre-
sents and In person In general. In the

"THE TRIBUNE" PREVAILS.

A long editorial in recent issue OF
nearby contemporary outside the
county, holds as its main theme that
Tho Tribune stands alone" In its
fight for decent politics and American
institutions in Utah At the same
time, the writer OF that editorial con-
fesses in 1t as It's opening paragraph.
that he was somewhat surprised re-
Gently to hesr that among the State
press of Utah there is said to be a
spirit of criticism and fault-hnding
against what is known as the doml-
nant church OF Utah, using The Salt
Lake Tribune as Its inspiration and
text"
If 1t were true that The Tribune
stands alone In this night. 1t would be
all the more shame to Utah But how
It can be that The Tribune stands
alone when IT is the inspiration
and text for a general spirit of crlti-
cism and fault-fnding against the
dominant hierarchy of Utah, we leave
for our rural contemporary to rise and
explain.
But The Tribune is satisfied for IT
self that 1t does not stand alone. Far
from It. II has the staunchest, broad
est, most public-spirited support of
any paper now published in Utah. or
that ever was published I'm Utah. First
of all, we have standing with us ten
thousand good American citizens of
Salt Lake City, free voters. every one
OF them splendid and patriotic Ameri-
cans. Then 1t has throughout the
State in growing numbers adherents
In every county. almost IN every set
tlement. who write their admiration OF
The Tribune's course and their con-
currence In the general fight IT is ma
king against the autocracy OF the
church and against the hostility which
the hierarchic leaders manifest toward
American institutions and their deter
mination TO work for the upbuilding OF
anti American Ideas.
For the very reason that our con-
temporary urges. that the American
people of Utah are intelligent. that
| they are discriminating and are able
| TO distinguish right from wrong. that
! their impulses In the main are pa
| trIotic when they are not warped by
| the interference OF selfish autocrats
and reasonable leaders. they approve
| the course OF The Tribune and in In
| creasing numbers are rallying to It's
| standard These will have things all
their own way In this State after
| little while, and then even those people
who are now whining that The Trib-
| une stands alone and falsely accusing
| It of sensa tionalism, abusive methods.
| and prejudice will be the very ones
| who Will come out and shout that they
| knew it all the time. that they were on
our side of the fence; and that The

Tribune is not entitled to all the credit
for the regeneration that has been ac-
complished.
The Tribune can afford TO smile at
the efforts Of the blind leading the
blind when both fall into the ditch; II
can afford to be generous and share
the credit of victory when the victory
comes. 1t Will be willing even to for
get that nearby contemporary In
neighboring county was SO purblind as
to put forth a contradictory editorial
which. while admitting The Tribune's
widespread influence throughout the
State to the upbuilding OF proper poll
ties and American patriotism. was still
stupid enough to say Tho Tribune
stands alone.

Observer s Observations

! observe that according to the Des-
eret News III takes time for the truth
to come uppermost," and the News
therefore needs more time.
That either number OF Eastern
newspaper are subsidized by the Nor
mon hierarchy or else their editors are
grossly ignorant OF what they write
about.
That hundreds of tourists are won
over to sympathize with the Mormon
church by the lavish expenditure OF
money about the information bureau In
the Temple grounds.
That the golden rule" isn't being
worked very hard in this country even
by professed Christians.
That there is something wrong in the
PERSONS life who feels that the world
demands a declaration OF honesty.
That with some people life is pre-
ferable 10 honor, but with the majority
death is desired rather than disgrace.
That when n woman "sets" her head
she matches out some most positive
convictions.
That even that old Sodom OF place,
New York City, has cut out Sunday
baseball. Next
That Sunday is the busiest, noisiest
and most irreyerent day Of the week In
Salt Lake City.
That the claims made for the neoes-
sIty of Sunday amusements are with
out foundation in fact.
That the men and tho women who
have wrought the best In all that has
made America great were brought up
under the structures of the Puritan
Sabbath.
That the desire to do a thing creates
In the mind the necessity for doing II.
That It is not instruction which the
people demand today so much as 1t Is
entertainment and this applies to old
and young alike.
That in order not to be out OF har-
mony with his brethren. Reed Smoot
or any other high official In the Nor
mon church for the privilege of assist
ing In making civil laws. Is compelled

breaker.

BENEFICIAL OFFICIAL AID.

Reading a report In the current num-
ber OF the Review OF Reviews, of the
wonderful things done by the U, S. De-
partment Of Agriculture for the rice
growers Of Louisiana and Texas, we
are reminded anew OF the immense ser
vice which that governmental agency
has done for the farmers OF the whole
country. And further, we may say that
this great service could be indefinitely
extended IL the members of Congress
would give up their seed Singing graft
to their constituents, and turn over the
money It costs. TO the Department Of
Agriculture. to be used by 1t In further
improving the seed supply, in variety
and in additions, for use by the farm
ers. 1t Isn't of much account for the
members OF Congress to send haphaz-
ard and to no special purpose, tons of
common, ordinary seeds; but 1t may be
OF the very highest service for the De-
partment. II IT could get the money, to
expend the amount which the mlscel-
laneous and indiscriminate seed dis
tribution now costs. In choice selections
OF seeds, In experiments to adapt spe-
cial seeds to special soils and climates.
and In the introduction OF new and use
full forms of plant life. and varieties
and species not now known In this
country.
This latter Is what was OF the high
est benefit to the rice-growers referred

adapted TO the machinery used In hull
Ing. 1t may be mentioned that Ameri-
can ingenuity was taxed TO It's utmost
10 invent or adapt machinery that
would do satisfactory work in thrash
ing" and hulling the rice. 1t is OF the
highest importance that IN this process
the kernels are preserved whole. for
broken rice Is not marketable. at a
price much above half the quotation
for the whole kernel, The Honduras

Then came DR.. S, A. Knapp. the Gov
ernment rice expert from the Depart
ment of Agriculture. He Immediately
sought a remedy. 1t was not to be had
in the machinery; therefore. a different
species of rice must be had. and he
rummaged the world for IT. meeting
with distinguished success. He found

more grain per acre; and better yet,

grain rice. or double the yield OF the
Honduras rice. The result Is a tremen-
dous Increase of production. and i'm
