that will settle the differences between
employer and employee in the same man

the civil court disposes Of cases Of credi'

court disposes of cases of the people
versus the man charged with a crime
and in this way differences may be
quickly and finally disposed of, and the
tendency to socialism and anarchism will

ployer of labor for thirty years" said
Mr.. Hopper, Il am fully convinced that
some plans must be adopted different

Oregon was credited with one minister

showing that Of the eleven great South
ern States, there were only three diplo-
matte positions given them, out of
total Of ninetysix diplomatic offices at
the disposal of each president, and the
same States received but about twelve
out of total of 294 consular offices.
Against this record. Mr.. Burleson showed
that New York had nineteen of the

stated clearly and fairly to see the
frothy imposturo which the News is
undertaking 10 infict on the commun-
ity in the publication Of such ridiculous
rubbish as is contained in that
editorial. The evident purpose OF the
News in comparing the persons who
now stand for fair play with the
vicious rulers of antiquity is Co found
"a claim that those who stand for tho
law are cruel Herods and Neros. It is
impossible for the church organ 10
avoid one horn or the other of this
dilemma. Either there are Herods and
Pontips Pilates here who have sIaugh-
tered their thousands, or the demand
that the church ghall keep faith, obey
the law, and let civil and political af.
fairs alone, is equivalent to the murder
of innoccnts and the wanton slaughter
Of faithful disciples of Christ. It is
cruel, TO be sure, 10 impele the stupid
scribe on the horns Of his own dilemma,
but he insists upon it, and according
TO his desire it is done unto him.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-09-29
A CHURCH STUPIDITY.

The church organ of last night had
a trothy editorial entitled "Divine
Retribution." It went on to euumerate
some of the great rulers in the early
days OF Christianity who committed
various crimes; as Herod, the slayer of
the innocents; Pontius Plate, who con.
demned Christ; Nero, the SLAYER of
thousands Of Christians, and other
prominent prosecutors.
We presume this editorial must have
been written and printed with a view
TO persuade some people that there are
individuals e3tant in this region at the
present time who are also engaged in
prosecuting the Saints. If SO it would
be instructive, first Of all, for the church
organ TO point out the Herod who is
Staying all Of the innocent children in
some village corresponding to Bethle-
hem; some Pontius Plate here who is
condemning God to die; some Nero
who has slain thousands Of the Saints
and other fcnds who have irnbued
their hands in the blood Of multitude es
for no reason other than that those
multltudes wished to worship God after
their own hearts and conduct their re-
ligion according TO their own con-
sciences. Either such persons must be
pointed out or the editorial is absolutely
pointless; without meaning, application,
or sense.
There is another view, however, that
might be taken Of it, and that is that
those persons here who seek TO enforce
the law against polygamy and poly.
gamous living, who ask for nothing but
free commercial opportunities, and not
TO be overshadowed by church monop-
olies; who demand that the church shall
Keep TO Its sphere and quit directing
the politics and the votes Of its adhe
rents, and quit dominating the affairs
OF the State, the Counties and The
Cities, arc guilty Of crime comparable
to tue Staying Of the innoccnts by
Herod, the murder Of thousands OF
Christians by Nero, and the keen and
brutal prosecutions OF Domitian and
other noted rulers who prosecuted the
early Christians.
1t must either be that persons COM
! parable to the rulers named in their
awful crimes against humanity, in the
slaughter of innocent children and pious
men and women, must exist, and be
perpetrating like atrocities here, or else
those who merely insist on equal rights
and the fair and impartial enforcement
Of the laws are criminals to be put in
| the same gallery Of condemnation as
the bloody rulers that are named
1t only needs to have the question
