TECHNICAL QUIBBLING.

The Descret News eXpends nearly two
| columns of its Invaluable editorial
space in qubblIng on the technical
| meanings OF treason" and oath" Its
purpose is to demonstrate that the Nor
mon leaders ore not traitors because
they do not levy war against the Uni
ted States and that they are not oath
bound because they took covenant"
instead OF an oath"
There is the usual lack Of enlighten-
ment md the usual evasion Of the sub
stantial facts I'm the articles Of the Des-
eret News Webster says that "trea-
son" is The offense of attempting to
overthrow the government Of tho State
10 which the offender owes allegiance"
And that is eNoctly what the Mormon
leaders are seeking TO do, and that is
exactly their teaching 10 their follow
ers, AND Webster also defines oath"
as "A solemn affirmation or declaration.
made with an appeal 10 God for tho
truth OF what is affirmed" And that Ia
exactly what the witnesses have proved
was the chara cter of the covenant ex-
devotees. Treason" must exist I'm the
purpose of a man before he can levy
war II nation were TO wait upon its
traitors-its known dlsloyallsts-and
should cherish them and upbuild them
until they attained a power which
would enable them TO make successful
war. 1t would be its own wilful de-,
stroyer
The Mormon leaders do not levy war
upon the United States because they
are not strong enough. But they be-
lleve, or pretend to believe, and they
teach and enforce the teaching that
their authority is superior TO that OF
the United States, and that their king
dom is destined to overthrow this Gov
ernmcnt and TO rule In its stead.
To obey them and To recognize In |
them the authority of God speaking to |
man is the covenant, obligation or |
oath which they require from their fol-
lowers.
The News cannot escape the fact by |
quibbllng about words and their tech
nlcal meaning. In all its essence the
teaching and the example of the chief
hierarchs is treason" In all it's es-
sence the obligation which they exact
IS an oath"

THE DISMISSED HUSBAND.

A fool and her husband are soon
parted. Mrs Yerkes- Miner has dis
missed her handsome athlete after two
or three weeks of unpleasant married
life. And he has wendcd his way from
her luxurious mansion to the haunts
which knew him before time.
1t is said for him that he did not
marry her for money. And II is said
for her that she did rot marry him oe-
cause she could buy him.
1t looks like a bargain OF wealth for
sood looks, and that is undoubtedly
what 1T was. There is d moral to the
transaction. but it would be OF no value
to point IT out. The fortune hunter and
the foolish woman VIII still go on con-
Joining and still go on separating after

POSTAL PROFIT AND LOSS.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


According 10 the international post
bureau, taking all the postoffices OF the
world, the United States shows the
heaviest loss from the management of
its postal affairs and Great Britain the
largest profits. Nineteen hundred and
three Is the last year for which figures
for comparison are available. and for
that year we ran behind 81 329, 600
while Great Britain showed net profit
of S22, 600. and Russia, Germany and
France each about S14. 900. 600. Due to
the large and rapid Increase OF rural
delivery since 1903, our deficit has
grown to at least three times what IL
was then, and there are other reasons
for our unfavorable showing. the prIn-
cipal ones being the larger compensa-
