REGULATING THE TITHEs.

II is probably correct as reported 10
The Tribune from many sources. that
the latest annual 1.-THE settlement IN
the Mormon church was a great disap-
pointment TO the hierarchy. The facts
that the people had passed through
wear OF unprecedented business. and
that the assaults upon the leaders had
awakened a strong, even If an unrea-
sonable, spirit of loyalty I'm the follow
ers, and that special demand had been
made from pulpit and press and by
private supplications for increased
payments. the tithes were expected to
swell for last year far beyond any pre-
vious total The result has been eX
tremely disappointlng-not so much in
the fact that the tithes were less than
for the year 1904. but because hundreds
OF men who had previously been 1.-THE
payers refused to contribute one dollar,
and because some of the most liberal
contributors OF previous years whose
tithes had shown annual increase re-
fused on this occasion TO swell their
donations and insisted that there must
be publicity or they would refuse here
after to contribute at all.
Thus is accounted for, the after-set-
church leaders In previous seasons
the assiduity OF instruction has shown
Itself in the months Immediately pre-
cedng the annual settlement. and then
has receded for n time. This year il
reached its intensity I'm December and
then instead of ebbing it remained at
its highest point and so remains today,
For the first time In their lives Nor
mons hear 1.-THE sermons urgently and
Systematically presented in the very
month following the settlement.
1t is n good sign-this sign OF the
times. No long since a church official
stated In The Tribune office that
| neither this paper nor the American
party nor the Government had the
power to regulate their collection. dis
| tribution or accounting for the tlthes
Of the church. which were purely vol
untary contributions given by the free
viii OF the Latter-day Saints to God
| himself. Just q little more or the
| present spirit of independence and in
sistence on the part of the Mormon
people and there VIII be just such an
| accounting: there Will be just such
regulation of collection and distrlbu-
ton. And so long as justice be done it
makes no difference whether The Trib-
une or the Government or a pretended
revelation from God shall be the power
| that produces that result.
What is absolutely certain is that
| the hierarchy VIII be compelled to
make an accounting, by the refusal of
their people TO pay tithes without an
accounting; and when accounting shall
pc made the distribution will. OF ne
| cesslty. be such as Will bear the light
of public scrutiny. and when the dis
tributlon is known the collection Will
be far less than 1t is today.
And thus by accounting the whole
| thing Will be regulated

The Deseret News has been so
shamed by the act of sacrilege in asso-
ciating a whisky motto with the off,
cial advertisement issued by the Nor
mon church publishing house OF an
indorsed book to proclaim the life and
virtues of the Mormon prophet, Joseph
Smith, that the News makes labored
explanation I'm Its editorial columns
disclaiming all responsibility for ad-
vertisements.
The particular pamphlet to which
The Tribune has called attention was
issued by the Descret News company.
which is owned entirely by the Nor
mon church The pamphlet bore on its
front page The title, General Authori
ties of the Church OF Jesus Christ Of
Latter-day Saints" The pages were
given alternately to the long roster of
church officials and to advertisements
OF varied character. over each page
appeared the words Church Authori-
ties" whether the page contained a list
Of names or advertisements of whisky
or prophecy lntermingled. That the
pamphlet was an official one is certain.
That the profits OF this publication
went into the church Golfers is as GER

counting by the officials; in the alb
sence of an accounting mere outsider

used as the official roster of church
authorities. and the News cannot es-

swer this question; II the church is
commcrcialized under the command

FRANCE AND MOROCCO.
Chicago News.


Considering the peculiarly strong
position which France now occupies in
northwestern Africa its inslstence up
on retaining the right TO maintain or
der in Morocco Is scarcely surprising
AS Germany Is equally firm In de-
nanding that the Sultanate be placed
under wholly neutral international
control, the prospects OF an agreement
are dubious. However much France
may be willing to concede with regard
to other reforms, 1t IS likely to insist
that It's preponderating interest In Mo-
rocco receive substantial recognition
To understand the reasons for its
stubbornnesS on this point II Is only
necessary to recall the immenSity of
Its territorial possessions near Morocco
and the consistency with which for the
greater part Of n century II has sought
expansion In this part of the world.
One fact not generally taken irto ac-
count is that the French African pos
sessions greatly exceed those of any
other power, aggregatIng 1000 900
square miles, the bulk OF the territory
lying In Northwestern Africa

wore larger collar than Tom Reed.
