| Joseph "divine" it will not be surpris-
ing five hear from the church organ
that Joseph F. Smith is already a God
and his latest baby Is a little Lord.
The Mormon people are not opposed
because they believe that Joseph Smith
| who founded their church upon various
| fragments Of faiths which he had gath
cred from all existing creeds, is di-
vine;' but the Mormon church is op-
| posed because it teaches violation of
law. because it maintains treason
| able attitude toward the general Gov
crnment of the United States, and be.
cause it de6es the Constitution and the
| laws Of this State Of Utah. Belief in
Joseph Smith as a revelator has nothing
TO do with this concrete objection TO
the Mormon church, Men who defy
the law are not popular in any self-re-
specting community, whether they have
faith in Joseph Smith or no faith in
any prophet Men who set up re-
ligious pretension to cover iniquitous
conduct are reprehended in every COM
munity where ethics prevail; and such
apprehension does not arise because of
religion, but because of the woeful lack
of religion betrayed by people who pre-
tend to picty while they practice
crime.
The worst evil which bcfalls the
Mormon people in these days is the
teaching of the hierarchy that the Nor
mons are hated by the world because
of their religious faith. The promulga-
tion of that idea leads Mormons in
their turn to hate the world. And so
appears the self-creatcd evil Of hatred
engendered and maintained by them
selves and which the Mormons arc striv-
ing by missionary service TO surmount.
Going out in the world with hate in
their hearts for the world-as some
are taught to dot is little wonder
that they are not received with eX-
travagant kindness.

The Trouble With the
Republican Party

Bingham Bulletin.
The liberal use Of the muck rake
among the Republicans OF Salt Lake
county has stirred up stencil that VIII
scarcely blow away before the people
go TO the polls next November.
The rottenness OF the gang In control
of the party machine is evident from
the disclosures now being made and the
hurting back and forth of accusations,
and it must result In one of two things
the overthrow Of the coterle which is
now dragging the party TO disgrace, OF
the defeat Of the Republican State ticket
at the next election.
II at the primaries soon TO be held In
Salt Lake county, the rascals are turned
down and kicked out reorganization
can be effected that will stand for party
principles, and not private graft. And
at the coming struggle between honest
Republicans and the gang machine There
promises to be a volcanic disturbance
that threatens 10 put the judge "hxers
and public Office grnfters deep beneath
the sod.
In Bingham, this end OF the county Is
at the mercy OF Republican crooks ano
grafters who have for years dominated
public affairs solely to the end that their
own pockets might be fattened
No one VIII admit that control OF the
Republican party should be in the hands
of selfconfessed thieves and petty lar
cenists; men who were forced TO admit
they had pilIered the pennies OF the tax
payers; men who for more than year
stole water from the public system Tor
their own use, while they made the poor
widow woman and the miner pay for
theirs; men who would stoop so low
as TO attempt to steal brass coupling
from the town OF Bingham; men who
have preyed upon the poor and helpless
for score OF years-they should not
be allowed to control the political affairs
OF Bingham district.
Can any one say that the Bingham
grafters ever did anything for the good
of the town? Can any one point TO
single act OF theirs in twenty years that
was not TO the end that their fat purses
would be further swelled, and In most
instances at the cost OF the poor unfor-
tunate who was In position to be
squeezed by them7
Even the most ardent defenders Of the
Bingham grafters. those who feel COM
PEELED to side with the wrongdoers be-
cause OF long acquaintance, Will not
trust themselves in business dealings
with the crooks; no. they go far away
to buy their wares go as not to be
placed at the mercy Of their friends
whom, while they are defending. they
know to be unscrupulous In every walk
Of life
The Republican party is dominant In
Salt Lake county and in the State. and
in the interests OF it's success the Salt
Lake City and the Bingham town party
crooks should be relegated to everlast-
Ing obscurity, and II they are not, diff
ferent story will be told at the polls In
November.

DIVINE" JOSEPH,

The manner in which the Mormon
church organ instills into the minds of
Its Mormon readers hateful feeling
toward humanity is clearly illustrated
by the following quotation from its
editorial columns:
II should bo no secret to ANYBODY who is
well informed on these matters, that tho
Latter-day Saints are the objects of hatred
solely Tor the reason that they boldly testify
smith was divine messenger.
By constantly iterating that false
hood the Dcseret News is able to main
tain its Mormon following in the be.
lief that the Mormon leaders are divine
and are prosecuted because Of their di-
vinity,
1t would not seem possible to an in.
teliigent observer of this age, brought
into his first contact with this cues
ton, that such diabolical teachinr as
is illustrated in that quotation from the
News could find acceptance with auv
large mass Of intelligent and educated
people. But unless we shall subscribe
to the erroneous idea that the Mormons
are stepped in the lowest ignorance.
we must admit that the criminal folIv
OF the News in teaching such human
hate has been so adroitIy and persist.
entity advanced that men and women
OF conscience and education are
schooled to its acceptance.
The News falsifes when it says that
the Latter-day Saints are the objects
or hate on the part Of the world. -
The Mormons are not hated; they are
pltled. Twenty-six among them, who
are banded together for the purpose
of misleading the following, may be
the objects Of general dislike, although
some Of them (when taken apart from
their religious bigotries and the tyran-
mes which they perpetrate) show quail.
Ties which arouse good feeling, If not
admiration. But for the mass Of peo.
pie belonging to the Mormon church
thero is entertained by the world at
large no unjust or unprovoked senti-
ment. If the usual speech concerning
them is one of disparagement, it is
because the mass are judged by the
confessions OF tho ruling class, and for
this the Deserct News should not hold
the world responsible, since the Deseret
News is largely the occasion of that
unklnd feeling and that misjudgment.
The Mormon church organ has gone
far in its idolatry when il speaks of
Joseph Smith, the founder Of its faith.
as ga divine messenger" Even if he
had been messenger bearing a divine
commandment it would be too much
to speak of him as being "divine. -
That awful sublimIty has attached to
but one Man since the creation Of the
world, and He was The Master. But
since Joseph +. Smith, collateral rela-
tive of the original Prophet Joseph,
came to be the boss up at church head
quarters the Deseret News has fallen
into worshiping attitude toward the

ONE STANDS FROM UNDER.

The oulpability of the Morris admin
| istration, its betrayal of the public, its
broken faith with the taxpayers, with
respect TO the use Of the water power
which can easily be developed at the
mouth of Parley's Canyon by the fall
of the $50 feet from the mouth Of the
conduit to the Parley's reservoir, be-
comes more apparent and shameful the
better it is understood.
1t had been in q way taken for
granted that the whole of the Morris
administration concurred in this breach
Of faith; but it seems that there was
one member Of it, and that very i'm
portant member, too, who in no way
coiucided with that betrayal. The then
City Attorney, Mr.. Charles C. Dey, it
appears had the opinion all the while
that any such betrayal of the people,
besides being a decided piece Of moral
turpitude, would be unlawful. His opin-
ion was and is that the city can use
that water power for its own purposes
of power and light precisely the same
as if no prohibition had been included
IN the ruthless and robbing Smith fran
chise. And yet, in order to make the be-
trayal of the people complete, Mayor
Morris went counter to and ignored
the expressed opinion of his official
legal adviser.
We trust that as legal proposition
Mr. Dey is wholly right. It surely is
immoral and indecent that a reckless
and irresponsible lot Of men, merely
because they happen to hold tempo
rarlly some official position in the city,
should be able to utterly betray its best
interests and TO annul direct compact
which the municipality has entered
into with its taxpayers,
If Mr.. Dey is right on this matter,
as he probably is, it would be the duty
of the city at the earliest practicable
time TO proceed with the erection Of a
plant ut that point for the purpose of
using that water power to supply the
municipality with light and power
Then it would be seen whether the
robbing monopoly would have the nerve
trust clause in its franchise which in
fact has no manner Of right there, any
more than contract would have for
the city to guarantee TO deliver to that
company all of the produce that might
be raised on the land irrigated by the
Big Cottonwood water supply.
1t is an interesting question and ono
which probably would result to the
city's advantage in case the test were
actually made; and in the meantime,
II IS Of interest to note that not all of
the incompetent and careless admins
tration Of which Mayor Morris was the
head was so ready and willing to be-
tray the people as he was, aided by
some Of his admirers This new light
thrown upon the situation is decidedly
refreshing, and affords basis Of a hope
for some good, practical end of that
miserable business

MORE LIGHT NEEDED.

The surprising order from the Utah
| Car Service Association which became
public yesterday, caused sensation
among all mining and smelling men
and orc handlers This order reduces
by half the time in which cars must
| be loaded and unloaded in the trims
porting and delivering of ores to the
different smelling companies. Hereto
fore four days at each end of the line
have been allowed; now it is to be but
| two, 1t is claimed that "the last
amendment of the Interstate Com
merce Law, which becomes effective
August 2Sth' renders necessary this
cutting in half Of the time for load
ing and unloading cars.
We, after as thorough an examina-
ton as the limited time at disposal
will permit, are utterly unable to find
in that law anything that justifes the
reference TO 1t in this connection
which the circular of the Utah Car
Service Association refers to. The
minor details of that character are left
so far as we are able to discover, to
the sound judgment and sense Of the
railway officials themselves and of the
Interstate Commerce Commission sub
ject to any complaint that may prop
erly be made, and subject TO uniform
ity and publicity.
But, of course, the law referred TO
applies only to interstate commerce
transportation. AS applied in the con
nection Of this circular, it could affect
only the ores brought into this State
from outside points. 1T could have no
possible reference to Utah ores, pro-
duced and the transportation Of which
are entirely within this State The
railway rate bill itself makes this very
explicit, and in the nature Of the case,
Congress would not undertake legis-
lation Of this kind as to matters wholly
within any State; and since the great
bulk of the ores that are handled at
the smelters here come from the mines
of Utah and the transportation of the
same being wholly within the State, il
is hard to see the application Of the
reference made in this Circular No.
to the matter in hand. Clearly ores
from Bingham, from Park City, from
Alta, from Tintic, from Ophir, or from
any other mining camp in Utah, are
not in the least affected in their trans
portation or handling by this railroad
rate bill. Where, therefore, is the
basis upon which this circular claims
that the railroad rate bill compels or
renders advisable any change in the
loading and unloading Of ore cars
where the transportation is wholly !
within the State Of Utah7
a little more light may dispel tho
mists which seem to surround the is
suing of this circular which has dis
mayed the samplers, the smelter men
and has astonishcd the ore producers.
But at present the connection between |
the law and the circular is not in sight. |

IT'S JUST DESERTS.

The Manti Messenger, in long
moralizing editorial, says Of this paper:
"THE TRIBUNE is GETTING ITS
JUST DESERTS.
In return for this splendid compi-
| ment. The Tribune offers TO the Manti
Messenger its most distinguished con-
sideration.
ii is always a pleasure TO find that
brave labor in behalf Of humanity, an
unselish struggle TO secure tho rights
of the people, an intelligent, persistent
journalistic battle for the better thing
In community life, not only wins gust
deserts,D but also wins a recognition
from contemporaries. The Tribune en-
tered upon this fight for the redemp-
ton Of Utah with no misgivings as TO
the need for that controversy, and yet
with the thought that many years must
elapse before the public would recog-
nize the motives for and the utility OF
the conflict, and reward The Tribune.
with increased support. But in the two
years which have elapsed since the
American party was organized and
since The Tribune announced its own
enlistment In that party's cause until
the end of the war, the ''just deserts"
of that voluntary devotion to n patri-
otto cause have poured into this Office
In such a flood that the old establish
ment is too small for the "just de-
serts.'' The leading paper Of the inter
mountain country before this war be-
gan, The Tribune has since increased
its circulation and advertising patron
age beyond any hope that its manage
ment could have previously entertained.
Each month of the present time is
record breaker in the matter of business
for Tho Tribune over the same month
in any other year Of its history. Well
equipped as a newspaper Office previous
TO this war, The Tribune has been
forced, by its enlarging needs and per
mitted by its immense business, to Sc
cure the best newspaper site in Salt
Lake, to equip the best newspaper Of
fee In the intermountain country, and
is now about to enter into the posses
sion of a plant and premises unequaled
by any other newspaper in the world
in city Of this population These are
"iust deserts" indeed, and we thank
our contemporary, the Manti Messen-
ger, for calling public attention TO the
merit and the reward of merit which
are demonstrated by the event.
The Tribune is doubly grati[ed in re-
ceiying so soon these "just DESERTS -
First, they are of direct Importance and
value in the material affairs Of the
paper. Second, they are Of higher
worth in proving that the conscience
of the people responds to the appeal to
conscience; that battle waged IN hui
manity's behalf is appreciated by good
men and women; and that a determined
endeavor to uplift the State is recog
nized by the capital and labor Of the
State in a cooperation which means
that the newspaper is better equipped
to wage its fight for honorable peace
and splendid prosperity in the COM
