CONFISCATE AND KILL.

Joseph Medll Patterson wealthy
young man of Chicago and son of
famous editor, after holding office un-
der Socialist Mayor Dunno of the
Windy City and after vacating his
public position I'm order TO array him
self with more radical reformers, has
announced to the world this kind OF a
gospel;
The way to take over the railroads ic
TO take them over; conflscatc them.
Almost at the same moment there

issue Of a newspaper under the title of
The New Movement" 1t is devoted
to the defense of the assassination OF
kings and is popularity called the resi-
eide journal 1t is not so epigrammatic
as young Mr.. Patterson. 1t labors
through long editorials and contributed
articles TO prove that every lover OF
the rnce should consecrate himself to
the service of his country at any sac

count OF any feeling OF false delicacy
I'm bringing to an early termina ton
the days of the oppressors OF men.
When it learns Of the terse manner
IN which Mr.. Patterson dlsposeS of the
railways 1t might take as it's motto

SENATORIAL POETRY.

Honest Ben Tillman of South Caro-
Ina, in the last year of his second term
In the United States Senate, Is said to
be writing a book I'm defense of the
body In which he is the most spectacu-

charge, and yet 1t is reiterated by the
newspapers of the capital and OF New

Good Things to Do

Editor Tribune.-As / read the signs
Of the times. IT would seem, In view or

the Mormon fraternity and hierarchy

favor of an amendment to the Ma
tlonal Constitution forbiddinG polyg-
amy and polygamous cohabitation. and
giving Congress power 10 secure en-
forcemcnt by appropriate legislation.
This would express a purpose to
abandon the crime still practiced by
so many leading Mormons in the name
OF religion III would place the Mormon
church In different attitude Senator
Smoot could advocate such an amend
mcnt. Such A resolution. as above
said would be read with delight,
printed in the columns Of The Tribune
as a part OF the doings OF the Confer
cnce at hand and show that under
your faithful preaching against crime
some fruit meet for repentance is
being brought forth Mormon opinion
as TO polygamy Is not the standard of
what constitutes crime. 1t Us time for
Mormons TO authoritatively abandon
hope of legalizing polygamy. The
state and nation gave-in the verdict
long ago, against the barbarism of
slavery and polygamy

the American nation will continue to
have the same opinion OF Joseph r.

nony In Washington. And as it's chief
representative he will continue to give
character to the Mormon church; haT-
diCapplng its every missionary. and
sending its polygamous stencil through
sChristendom; and should exclude Mr..
Smoot from the Senate. as matters
stand. If II be said the second thing
mentioned Will not be done because the
Mormon church Is exclusive In its
claim to be the only true church. and
Is In Its attitude and teaching the mo-
nopolist Of spiritual salvation, those
who accept the Deserct News as their
political Bible and spiritual instructor
may continue TO sustain such stupen-
douS claims.
But the most liberal and Intelligent
Mormons are rot going to do so. They
know better. They know that "thc
tree is known by it's fruit"
And they know that the fruits Of
faith. hope and love, and spiritual SAL

LOOPING OFF APOSTLES.

proposes 10 select certain apostles as
scapegoatss dismiss them from the quo

| Smithism with Smith still supermposed
upon IT.
Joseph F, Smiths method Is irrational
and impossible. The Mormon commu
| nifty is now staggering under the load
of Joseph f. Smiths selhshness and ig

Smootsms which is a part Of Smithism.

ism and OF security might attend upon
Utah and upon that part Of her popula-
tion which still inclines to the Mormon
faith.
1t Is now currently known that II Jo-
seph F. Smith shall be able to secure
the assent Of the apostolic quorum. he
will remove Apostles Taylor and Cowlcy
at least and substitute favorites OF his
own in their place, a the same time
giving out 10 the Gentle world that
they are superseded because of their
transgression of the laws of God md
man in taking new wives and in SOL
cmnizlng new plural marriage cere-
monies. At the same time II ~ known
that these two apostles, and even Teas
dale, who has also officiated at poyga-
nous marriage ceremonies since the
manifesto, have merely done what Jo-
scph +. Smith authorized them to do.
When Joseph F. Smith proposes to
dismiss these men and tie around their
nccks his own crimes, he Is demonstrate
ing that he Is a souIless as well as q
senseleSs prctender.

THE BOOK "BEN HUR" Is.

that Gen. Lew Wallace. I'm writing
his book, did so to prove Christian civ
ilization had overcome Roman and
Hebrew civilization and had paved the
way for the last dispensatiOn that was
revealed to and propagated by the
Prophet joseph F smith,
1t is always a good rule Of intcrpre-
tation to avoid the obscure. the un-
necessary, the special plea OF the par
tisan, especially when that partisan
plea is in behalf of something absurd,
obnoxious, frivolous. or generally un-
known or contemplate. The safe rule
is TO hold 10 that which most complete
ly explains and which is the obvious
lesson to be drawn from the writing,
Judged by this rule, which is un-
Questionably The true one, Bishop
Whitney is In sad error In this attempt
10 make the Wallace book a buttress
for a dispensation which Wallace coulG
not have had any motive TO approve or
exploit, In no writing of his is there
the least hint that he had any interest
or leaning I'm the way suggested by
Bishop Whitney. 1t is wholly incred-
ible. therefore, that he shonld have
devoted his chief and most famous
work to the service Of that vagary.
on the other hand, the love OF Gen.
Wallace for the blood horse was no
torious; he was an enthusiast on the
subject and he was never SO happy as
when viewing some choice specimen of
the best breed Of horses We, there

be warmed by the hot t-blooded Arab
before the choice breeds of modern
times could have their origin
This view. OF course would make
Ben Hur a pretty good horse book;
and our candid opinion is that IL is a
good deal more of a horse book than
a doctrinal Mormon book.

Some years ago. when the constitu-

Lorenzo Snow was urged to take an
outspoken attitude In favor of the
measure. He was warned that opposi-

accepted by the country as sufficient
proof of continued favor for polygamy

his colleagues were sincere he was
asked to demonstrate that sincerity by
asking that jurisdiction over the in

Mr.. c. S Goldby, the special writer

dence of President Llnford Of the

demonstrates from 1t that the HE

the polygamous Idea. Mr. Linford's af-
firmation that he still believes in po-
lygamy, is the particular point seized
by the writer for the News.

American women as rule wear
very little jewelry, and It is rather
the fad OF women with beautiful fig
ures. hands and feet not TO wear any
ornament at all-not even the smallest
brooch or single ring or the smallest
bangle. one evening at Sherry's
looked around and saw quite q dozen
women beautifully and most eXpen-
slYsly gowned. with not g single Jewel.
one woman wore q pale gray crepe de
chine trimmed In rare old Italian 10th
century lace, with elbow sleeves
and a graceful skirt. 1t nodded her fig
ure like a corset, Her hair was
crowned by a black picture hat OF good
definite lines and she wore no orna
ments or Jewels of any kind either on
arms or hands or neck, and she looked
most beautiful and distinguished.
