THE cITY's FORWARD MARCH.

The Improvements going forward in
this city are the subject OF intense
satisfaction to its citizens and OF ad-
miring comment by every casual visitor
to the city, and to every friend of Salt
Lake who, having been temporarily
away, returns and notes the progress
that has been made.
For instance, the building operations
Of the present year entail a declared
cost of $l,977,5S as compared with
the like declarations for 1905 OF ST.
ll0,790, an increase Of almost so per
cent.
There has been laid in this city this
year ten miles of water mains; 200
valves have been set, l35 hydrants, at
cost of '$35, 5,000 and 756 new water
connections have been made at a cost
of $4,000. This will add a revenue
to the water account of $4,000 per an
nun.
In contrast with this there was laid
in tho whole year of 1905 but three
miles OF water mains, only 30 valves set
aAo - 1iAS "iiOiS ySdA Wv wv W.
connections were made,
The render can easily see the mighty
advance that has been made in the
nine months Of the present year as
compared with the last full year of
Morris's administration,
Besides the above, there has been
lowered one mile of water mains the
present year to put them on the proper
grade.
All this is tremendous showing and
speaks with a voice that cannot be
mistaken and that is loud enough TO
be heard in every home in the city,
of the benefits conferred by the Ameri-
can administration upon the people in
dividually and collectively, and upon
the public at large.
And again we reiterate and insist
that the people, and all the people, have
right to say as tho patriotic, wide
awake citizen does say, every day of
his life, Thank God for the American
party.

themselves IN any way above the hold
ers OF mining stocks as being engaged
In more substantial investment prep
osition than are the mining men.
Il Is unfortunate that the Governor
should invite this comparison, and
doubly unfortunate that be should
single out for his attack the great in
dustry which, beyond al others IN this
State, draws attention to its immense
ly rich resources and invites the in
vestment Of large. capital In view of
the facts and the circumstances, we
think that it is incumbent upon Gov
ernor Cutler to write another letter ex-
planning his position and withdrawing
his aspersion upon this particular in
dustry. A great many, like the editor
OF the Reaper, "cannot understand why
the Executive of a State should desire
to strike blow at one Of the State S
greatest industries" And with him
they s'do not believe there IS any more
or as much dishonesty in mining opera
tions in Utah as in other branches OF
business' And like him they are at
a loss to understand why the mining
industry should have been singled out
for attack by tie Governor OF the State.
Certainly some reparation is due from
Governor Cutler, and we do not think
that reparation should be any longer
DELAYED

THE JEALOUS LITTLE FELLOWS.

The organ Of the Smoot activity on
the Democratic side Of the house, the
Herald of this city, says: "The Demo
cratic ticket and platform indicate
clearly that the party has 10 sympa-
thy with the Republican machine or
the american machine" This is
probably quite true. 1t would indeed be
singular if the two political activities
which belong to the church and through
which it formulates its DEGREES and car
ries out its will, should be found in
friendship with each other, There is
never any love lost between the in
mates Of q harem, and never any ac-
cord between two servants Of a common
master who carry out that master S will,
each seeking TO be chief in his regard.
The church Democratic activity and
those in charge of it do not of course
view with the least favor the church
Republican activity and those who are
IN charge of it. They are mutually
envious, jealous, and each seeks with
fervency, at the expense of the other,
the favor of their common master.
When the Herald says, as it does in
the above quotation, that the Demo"
cratic" machine is not in accord with
the 4" Republican," machine, it merely
means that the little fellows who think
they arc running it are In the discord
which it refers to. It is quite impos-
sible that it could mean tho large con-
troll Of both by the church. For, to
intimate that tho church is in diver.
gence with itself would be to impute
anarchy and discoEd at headquarters,
where harmony and unity are most
fereely insisted upon; whore, in fact,
harmony and unity nro absolutely IN.
dispenSable, and without which moth
ing at all could bo done IN the way
that it is done.
In thus calling attention 70 tho hos.
tiity between the servants of tho com.
mon master, which is something quito
In tho usual order of human likings and
! mislikings, the Herald emphasizes tho
situation. It calls attention anow to
the struggle between tho representa-
tives Of these church agencies for the
favor of the church political bosses and
for the capture of the church political
power. 1t shows that both dependents,
with mutual hate in their hearts, fawn
! upon their common master, jealous OF
the pat Of his hand. 1t is s. horrible
situation to have to acknowledge, but
the Herald as usual comes to the front
frankly and acknowledges the corn.
The church whisper as TO the will Of
the authorities in voting is the great
prize to be struggled for, and in max
ing this struggle the Herald frankly
recognizes the antagonisn between the
minor chaps who have to make it. Great
is the church, and small are the envious
midgets who hold up their hats for
the political aims that the big bosses
dispense

Smootism and Mormonism arc one and
the same, there would be such a
schism and secession from tho church
as has never before been heard Of in
its history "Whoever attacks Smoot-
ism attacks the church" says Joseph
T. Smith. 1t is a saying that will not
go down with the Mormon people; and
Joseph F. Smith would do well do dis.
claim the utterance at once.
There seems to be q fatality in his
makeup With respect to losing his
head at conference time. At the April
conference he gave out the word that
the brethren serving as jurors must not
bring in heavy verdicts against corpo-
rations, he having in special mind
corporations which he heads, and
against which some stiff verdicts had
recently been rendered. There has been
ample opportunity for denial of this
incendiary utterance, which ls, In
fact, the grossest contempt Of court;
but it has not been denied. We be-
Geve that it cannot be denied with
truth. And now again, at this confer
ence, he comes forward with this talk,
shouldering the whole responsibility for
Smootism, and undertaking to attach 1t
upon the church as a necessary part Of
Mormonism. In SO doing, President
Smith has struck a powerful blow
against his church, q blow which viii
not in the least help Smoot or the form
Of political bossism for which he
stands, while it will appall and shock
every devout member Of the church.
These will refuse to believe that Smoot-
ism is Mormonism; but there Is no
doubt that Smootism is Smithism, and
the Mormon people, in their own inter
est, and for their own protection, Will
have to rcpudiate both.

took cognizance OF much milder situa-
tion than this, and the reign of Dowie
is ended so far as the law is concerned,
Even the Dowieite himself shook off
his unjust burden, and the self-styled
Elijah is thrown from his tyrannical
chariot.
But here in Utah Smithism so per
vades the body polite, and the supine
Mormon IS so docile, that we find at
once a law-breaking political master
rampantly parading his treason before
the eyes Of our citizenship, and a spur
ious prophet Haunting his apostasy in
the faces of his own co.religionists,
But we have an American party here,
and-well who is this man Joseph F.
Smith, anyway

ecclesiastical superiors, directing them
which ticket to vote at the ensuing
election.
1t is because Of this-it is because
Of the moving of small vote at the
critical hour, and because of the GER
tainty that such thing may be done
with disastrous effect-that the people
who have charge of the various poll
teal parties here have always looked
to the Mormon church tor the final
word.
The Tribune does not mean to be in
vidious, but it will say that in nearly
all cases in Utah the political party
which seems to have the advantage
waits until the last hour and receives
the final word from church headquar-
ters before it begins to congratulate
itself

THE ooNsp1RAToRs HAVE THEM

In spasm of in-assumed virtue the
official Smoot agency in this city
makes certain interrogatories, like this:
Where is Jim Donaldson
Where is the alleged Boil
Where are the o Brlensf
1t might also ask in precisely The
same vein: 'FWhere are the McWhir-
tersq" And in each case no doubt the
true answer would be exactly the
same.
1t will no doubt be found eventually
that whatever persons or phantoms the
church conspirators in this case wish
to produce they will produces 1t may
also safely be assumed that whatever
persons or phartoms are necessary IN
order to claim Governor Cutters un-
wholesome and ridiculous reward will
be on hand No doubt they already
have in their possession all the persons
that they desire TO have. This was alb.
solutely announced by the consPirators'
organ prior TO the time at which the
Governor offer Of reward was issued.
But it would not do to produce the
men without also putting up job to
rob the State treasury through the con-
spirators' plant tool. As to the Nc.
Whirters, it is well known that they
have been in the custody Of the Sheriff
is quite possible, OF course, that the
conspirators are depending on the pro.
duction of these two curious freaks
TO pull down the Cutler reward But
the Sheriff is keeping these persons in
extreme secrecy; the reporters OF this
city have been doing their utmost to
get at them and find out what it is
that they really have to say. So far
little is known except what the con
spirators pretend that these men say.
OF course, with the amateur sort of
bungling that seems to be comcomi-
tant of the efforts of this puerile gang,
the stories they have told do not speak
very we'll for the persons assumed to
be telling them. But what can be ex-
peeted7 You cannot have innocence
and depravity, intelligence and stu
pidity, all in one. So the gang has to
do the best it can, and is at an I'M
mense disadvantage throughout. It
wants to kill too many birds with ono
stone, and is afraid really to throw the
stone, II wants to besnlrch Chief
Sheets; it wants TO pretend that the
McWhirters are innocent victims; II
wants to bleed the State; but with all
its wautiugs it does not want this case
TO. come to an issue. The very last
thing IN the world that the conspira-
tors now wish 10 face is the court in
the exploitation Of this humbug case.
It is loose-jointed affair, altogether,
what in old parlance would be termed
" "shackley" 1t seems sure that the
combined ingenuity and constructive
power Of those engaged in this con-
| spiracy will be ineffective to bring it
to any such. issue as they hope In
| fact, their writers are despairing now,
and practically throwing up their hands
in abandonment of all the positions first
assumed. Tt is dangerous business for
children to meddle with fire, as this
puerile crowd has undoubtedly found
out by this time. And undoubtedly
their most fervent wish is that they
| were well rid Of the whole business.
