WELL SCARED.

The Deserct News has found some
new nonsense" TO which It devotes Its
weighty uttcrance.
After ridiculing. as being unworthy
Of answer. certain arguments put forth
by the Reorganized Gosephite) Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
the Deseret News boastfully. ponder
ously, and limpIngly proceeds through
n column and a half of It's turgid stuff
to reply to the nonsense OF the Jo-
scphites
The special object OF the attack by
the News on this occasion is Beman
c. Smith. historian for the Reorganized
church The facts that he is a hlsto-
rlan and that he bears the name Of
Smith are sufficient provocatlon for
the onslaught There is only one di-
vine right in existence for the conJunc-
tion of history making and Smith, and
that right Is possessed by the son OF
his father and is exercised by Joseph
f. Smith, Jr.
Incidentally the Deseret News has
coined a word for itself. and calls the
Josephites the "rcorganites." This Is
the one faint fash of humor or intelll-
gence that illuminates the murkiness
of the laborious article by the Mormon
church organ.
What the News attack is for no one
cares. but its motive is OF importance.
The Mormon hierarchy and the Deseret
cannot sleep o-nights for fear Of the
"Reorganites"- have some Smiths
of their own, by the way.

THE PROPER DISPOSITION.

In the city Council on Tuesday even
ing. the closing OF Sunday theatrical
attractions of the second class was cor
sldered In part. but further considera-
tion was dropped for the time on tho
suggestion that the County Commits
sioners werc about to act favorably
upon the proposition to close the out
of-town resorts also on Sunday. The
Council thereupon decided to await the
action OF tho county.
This is clearly the proper course to
pursue; for II is idle to close one con-
venicnt Sunday resort and leave an
other convenient Sunday resort open;
the effect is to favor one at the ex-
pense OF the other.
The question is an old one here, and
1t has often taken the phase OF closing
out the Gentle owned resorts so that
the Mormon church. resorts
might be open. and get the patronage.
That Idea Is no doubt a part OF the
church zealousness Just now: and
that, coupled with tho desire to make
point with tho Christian ministers
against the American party. would ac-
count for the whole of the jealous
ness Just now displayed In that quar-
ter.
on the general question. 1t Is a con-
test between town and out-oC-town at
fractions on Sunday evenings. this
aside from the sentiment of Sabbath
keeping The out-of-town resorts want
the resorts In the city closed. 90 that
they may profit therebyS the city re-
sorts don't want to bc left i'm the
lurch this way: and while the out-of-
town resorts may and do appeal to the
Sabbath sentiment, they In no way re-
gard 1t as a practical proposition: their
desire simply IS to get added business
by shutting off the Sunday resorts I'm
the city. SO that the resortcrs will go
out to theirs
1t is proper. therefore, from this prac-
tical standpoint, to- give all an equal
deal and II one closes. close all To
effect this. the only recourse is the
County Commissioners; and with them
rests the initiative 20 treat all alike.

RECKLESS CHAUFFEURS.

Some accidents are unavoidable In this
world busy with traffic. People Will get
under the wheels of the slowest going
vehicle. The dray, as well as the motor
car has a record Despite this fact, the
truth remains that the person slain by
a reckless automobilist generally Is tho
victim OF worse, grosser. a more
heartless callousness than is the one
who succunbs TO the impact of the troll
ley, The simple and easy way to rid
the highway of the peril that lies In the
drunken or brainless direction of the
swiftly moving automobile Is TO treat
the guilty chauffeur as the criminal he
is and to hold him and his accomplices
on the charge of manslaughter, at least,
as we'll as responsible for all the ma

DANGER AND DISHONESTY.

one newly-enlightened Mormon COM
ments upon tithe-paying as follows.
"If Joseph F. Smith is building up
private fortunes for himself and ia
vorites with the 1.-THE moneys. our
people are merely encouraging dishon-
esty. If he is building up a vast secret
fund for use by the church In business
and other directions, our people are
merely incurring danger. If he is doing
both-as 1 suspect-we are aiding both
dishonesty and danger. And I'm any
one of the three contingencies ordinary
morals and ordinary prudence should
command us to stop"
Assuming that Smith only indirectly
uses the 1.-THE funds for his own ag-
grandIzement. and that his ambition is
to make of the church an all-powerful
machine. his enterprise is a menace to
the well-being OF society, and In due
course of time Will undoubtedly receive
the attention. Of the officers of the law.
Something may be nationally said for
the ordinary combinations OF capital
and, equally, something may be ra-
tionally said for the attacks upon
trusts. Something may be said for the
Introduction OF morals into business;
and something may be said in favor of
business methods in any moral propa

uttered any logic which supports the
idea that God. who owns the universe.
has any need for ten per cent of the
earnings OF human creatures In order
to establish business to complete with
these same human creatures.
And Smith, as collector of the
property OF God, is at this distinct dis
advantage He has never been able to
show his credentials. nor has he pro-
duced any receipts. He obtains u
whitewashed report from mere earthly
creatures appointed by himself to audit
his books, these persons certify that

not speak In ratification OF his claims

NO WHITEWASH WANTED.

1t is given out that the County Com
| missioners are about TO investigate
| themselves; that they Will employ ex-
perts to audit the accounts OF all
| money-handling and disbursing officers
| and require strict accounting. All of
which Is rubbish, an impudent impos-
ture upon the taxpayers, the sole de-
sign of It being to throw dust in the
eyes OF the public.
But IL shows that the wrongdoers are
getting frightened; they are on the
run; but a cont OF selfaapplied white
wash as they flee. VIII not help them
in the least.
AS "a matter Of fact, the accounts OF
the county are audited already, as pro-
vided by law, and by the official desig-
mated by law to audit them. They are,
we believe. audited faithfully and
legally. The trouble is not there at
all, but In the graft and Doodle for
which the Commissioners, In the dis
cretlon confided to them, stand.
1t is the Commissioners who need to
be investigated fully as much as any
body. IL not more thar any others. I'm

auditing" or overhaullng by the Com
missioners could not possibly have the
confidence OF the people: but on the
contrary would be a mere confidence
game,
What is wanted Is not an lnvestiga-
ton of unfaithful and unworthy ofl-
ciaIs by and under the direction of
these officials themselves, but an i'm
partial and thorough investigation by
n body strong enough to do the work
from any influence of the officials that
are under fire.
1t is for this reason that The Tribune
has demanded a grand jury to look into
the maladministration of the affairs OF
this county. A grand jury would be su-
preme; 1t could demand the papers,
and compel the testimony OF Official
culprits. and those who know of their
misdeeds.
The Commissioners have wholly mis-

ever, which may help the Commission
ers to escape the grave that they are
apparently digging for themselves. 1t
is this: Let there be at least three eX-
perts make the investigation OF county
affairs. and let The Tribune name one
of them. Let the investigation be un-
confined sweeping. including the acts
OF the Commissioners as well as the ac-
counts OF the receiving and disburslng
officers Let there be an open, full ac-
counting for everything, and no limit
ations In the search for graft, A farce
will not answer in this crisis of public
suspicion that is fully justified by de-
yclopments already made. Give us a
square deal and an open accounting
