that which is held by Reed Smoot AS
n member of the apostolic quorum he
! sustains by vote, by influence and by
appropriation OF money the polygamists
In their practices: and by his personal
word to the mass OF the Mormon people
and by his political prestige he pro-
tects and encourages them In their

The claim OF tho Dcseret News that
| President Smith requested Apostles
TAYLOR and Cowley to go to Washing
ton to answer the process OF the Senate
and to give testimony there Is as true as
| other and similar stetements made by
| the Dcscret Ncws-that is, II has a SUI
pernciul appearance Of truth while 1t
covers a profound falschood. 1t Is n
| wellknown fact that Joseph F. Smith
| could have called Taylor and Cowley
| TO Washington, and obedience would
have been immediate and absolute.
Furthermore. it is known to inside cir
| cles that both Taylor and Cowley stated
to their colleagues of tho hierarchy
that II they were compelled TO make
any public statement concerning new
polygamous marriages in the church.
they would tell the truth. Neither
Smith nor Smoot wanted Taylor or
Cowlcy at Washington upon this con-
dition; and therefore secret odvices
were committed TO these two eXlled
apostles lnstructing them In what Ian
guage TO decline President Smiths pre-
tended Invitation" The Tribune is In
possession Of positive Information that
members of the hierarchy were In a
dreadful funk for fear Taylor and Cow
ley would misunderstood which partic-
ular instruction of President Smith
they we're To obey. If they needed his
secret counsel and remained away
from Washington all would be we'll.
But II they should commit the blum
der of taking his open instruction and
should go to Washington and there tell
the truth all would be the other thing.
John ", Taylor and Matthias F. Cow
ley were publicly proved TO have en-
gagged in new polygamous marriage
since lilS IiliIlltSlOr uey went lllo
exile with the connlvance Of the church
TO escape process from the Senate of
the United States. a pretended charge
was brought against them by Reed
Smoot pretended investigation was
promised. 1t is alternately pretended
that they resigned from their quorum
or were expelled as a matter Of dis
cipline. And In the face OF this array
Of public facts this is the way the
Descret News evades any decisive ut
terance so that it may hereafter claim
anything that may suit the church con-
yenicnCe on this subject
There has been a great deal OF specu-
lation and gossip and rumor concerning
this matter. but neither OF the men sus-
pccted have had any formal charge pre-
ferred against them which would justify
trial
And that is the nearest to plain
statement" that can ever be extracted
from the hierarchical writer's. Is It
any wonder that the Interior cannot
rely upon what the Deseret News calls
plain statements2"

TRADE AND BUSINESS,

A good deal OF money has been for
warded the past week to san Francisco
and much good work done in the way of
relief TO refugees from that city and
other California points. This city. how
ever. has not done as much as Ogden
has in this relief the Junction City Is
entitled to the palm among Utah cities
for the heartlness and amount or the
relief work done for the refugees, Con-
tributions continue TO come In from time
to time. for this work. and also for the
general relief In the stricken towns; and
much of the energy ordinarily devoted to
business continues to seek activity in this
channel.
One of the gratifying salvages from the
San Francisco devastation was that Of
the plats, surveys, and other papers OF
the Western Pacific The loss of these
would have seriously retarded the work
Of construction. but their preservation
means the vigorous and uninterrupted
prosecution OF the work Of road building.
This is proceeding with dispatch In the
Feather River canyon. the entrance way
to this city Is being cleared westward
from the Oregon Short Line station to
the river. between South Temple and First
well advanced from Garfield TO the Ne
vada State line, grading thence west
ward to the crossing OF the Southern Pa
cifo tracks.
Business is active in this city, with
strong trade under brisk demand The
bank clearances OF the week show an
increase OF II 4 per cent over the corre-
spending week last year Collections are
good. The full reopening of the Salt
Lake Route to Los Angeles has stimu-
lated business between this city and the
great Nevada camps. The spur which is
building from Las Vegas to Bullfroe
Godhcld, and Tonopah has now got so
far along as to be material factor In
the transportation business OF those
camps
The realty market has shown much
force and strength. There Is constant
demand, and valuable properties are
changing hands. The property west Of
the new postolice building sold during
the past week for s35 600, a typical sale
The improvements along that street,
making by Mr.. Salisbury are conspIcu-
Gus In their extent and desirability. That
is sure to be one of the lIyeIicst streets
in the city.
There Is never any discount on the
Utah mines: they maintain steady out

year. product which will be materially
Increased when the great plants at Gar
field arc brought into commission. The
construction upon these Is progressing ut
a rate both gratifying and necessary In
the plans OF tho proprIetors. The new
city around these reduction plants is
sprlnging up as by magic.
The wool clip Is being marketed at
prices generally above twenty cents, in
somc cases. twenty-five cents. A great
deal OF money is being distributed among
the nockmastere for their wool, probably
fully four million dollars In this State and
the regions round about.

VETOED AGAIN.

We trust that the effort TO evade the
law which forbids the City Council to
make any appropriation such as the
$40. 900 donation to San Francisco suf-
ferers will now be dropped. City At
torney Hiles makes II perfectly clear
that the appropriation Is against the
law. which absolutely and specifically
torbids It. To feel sympathy with those
sufferers. is perfectly natural; 1t is a
humane impulse which every one must
feel. and 1t is creditabe to the race
that every one is moved by the samo
sentiment. But the desire to help VIII
not excuse an infraction OF the law to
carry out the helpful impulse. 1t Will
not do for the man who sympathizes
and wants TO help. but has no money
to pick the pockets OF some ono who
has, in order TO enable him TO give.
And no matter how strongly the Coun-
ell may feel impelled to come to the
aid Of San Francisco, 1t will not do for
1t to Violate the law to do what it de-
sires.
The inhibition of the law In this mat
ter was designed to meet just this sort
OF case, and to stop this use OF pub
lie money when the Councilmen were
liable to be carried off their feet by a
great calamity and great sympathy.
This Is evident from the fact that ordi-
narly no such inhibition would be nee
essary; ordinarily no one thinks of
going to the Council for u case of re-
lief; the people in the liberality of their
hearts are called on, and they meet
tho call. charitable and relief societies
do their part, and 1t is only on ex-
traordinary occasions when any one
thinks Of proposing that the City
Council shall make an appropriation
But right there the law steps In, and
forbids IT, And the law must be re-
spected, There should be no attempt
at evasion. but 1t should be obeyea
promptly, and honored both in letter
and in spirit.
There is altogether too much flip
pancy about the ordinary attitude or
many people toward the law An aw-
full example In regard to disobedience

quarters here. and II Is having a dia-
astrous effect upon the State and its
inhabitants, 1t is time that there
should be a turn In the tide on this
matter, and that the people throughout
the State. from high TO low. should
wake up to the sheer imposslbIIity OF a
community escaping foul conditions
to the enforcement of the laws and con-
tempt for statutory and constitutional
requirements.

A GOOD THING TO QUIT.

VIC trust that Judge Brown of the
| Juvenile court will reconsider his de-
termination 10 continue TO hold such
| examinations as that of the Knox girl.
| It is one thing to hold physical exam
| nations that are necessltated by all
ment, accident. or disease, and quite
another and wholly different thing to
| hold them for the purpose of obtain
ing evidence in q criminal case, or to
establish a criminal charge. In the
first case the dictates OF humanity,
the necessity for medical or surgical
treatment for the welfare or to save
the life OF the patient, requires that the
nature Of the affliction be ascertained
In order to know what to do for II; In
the other. there Is an invasion under
perverted and vicious pretense of legal
ity of the personal rights of the ac-
cused. far more indecent and obnox-
lous than 1t would be were an accused
against himself when charged with
misdemeanor or crime.
In the first case. no lntcrposltion Of
any sort OF legal process Is required
any sane person submits TO the ordeal,
In order that the required remedy may
be applied, In the second case, court
that would force any one to such hn-
initiating and degrading ordeal not only
invades the personal sanctities, but
throws down the barriers that ages
have reared for the legal protection of
human rights and the inviolability Of
the person. Such procedure is con-
trary to the law as expoundcd In all
courts, and Is In effect u revival of
brutal and deadly practices Of the mid
die ages; it is a form OF torture, de-
signed to extort confession from an ac-
cused who persistently denies the crime
charged.
That baleful revival VIII not be toll
Grated in this day and age in an en-
IIghtensd community. Its institution
here would be in effect to establish
school of indecency, as obnoxious to
moral sensibilIties as 1t Is to the law.
Under that sort Of practice no girl Is
safe; an evil-minded enemy could
falsely charge her with wrongdoing
and destroy her life by bringing her be-
fore this court and forcing her to this
atrocious torture. In the end. this
practice would be sure TO catch the
wrong person some time. and the bust
ness would be apt to end in Il tragedy.
and come to close that would be a
public horror. We, therefore, trust that
In so far as Judge Brown may con-
template a continuance of such exami-
nations as this, which has stirred the
city to a depth perhaps not realized By
percmptorily and at once,

PREVENTION OF PEsTILBNcE

New York Herald
Not the least important among the
problems the citizens of San Francisco
are facing" says the Journal OF the
American Medical Association, rs the
prevention OF infectious diseases.
Among the threatened dangers are
mentioned close physical association,
even involving actual personal contact
diminished power of resistance to dis
ease caused by exposure, hunger,
thirst. fatigue. and all the other &C
compartments of the situation,
The Journal very properly urges the
Importance of detecting the existence
of infectious diseases OF every sort ana
establishing prompt quarantine of sus-
picious cases. Most important OF all Is
the rigid sanitation OF the camps and
the prompt disposal OF oil the excre-
tlons OF the human body, for by such
means only can a veritable typhoid ep-
idemlc be prevented.
This leading medical periodical also
pays n graceful tribute to the FAR
reaching influence of the daily press
always great In a time like this"-ln
educating the public on the special
dangers OF the situation
