vantage OF the public, In the latter two
points the raid of two years ago being

The Tribune does not approve the
ousting OF Marshal Haywood: there is
no partisan change made in changing
the incumbent of this office. In fact
Mr.. Haywood Is a better Republican
than is Mr., Spry. who is not party
man at all. but simply an ecclesiastical
tool, The change lowers deplorably

SOME FRIENDLY ADVICE.

We reproduce on another page this
morning, an editorial from the New
York Evening Post which Is worth
earnest consideration. 1t presents facts
and sentiments that must necessarily
be taken into account By the "See
America First" convention that meets
in this city today. And IT Is broad
minded in tone. giving due credit 10 the
men OF the West. and their compare
lively greater familiarity with their
country than Is possessed by the men
of the East.
The Post. in giving the reasons why
so many Americans visit Europe with
out first seeing their own country,
omits, however the great. compelling
reason which actuates the most of
them. Few go for arts sake. for the
enlargement OF vision. the broadening
OF historical perspective. or the devel-
opment of esthctic tastes, If we could
capture for this See America First"
movement, all who do not go for the
reasons thus detailed, we would be
sure of the great bulk of that travel
But 1t is those who go because It is
the thing" TO do Europe. the fad to
be able to say that they have seen
Paris. Rome. London, and other cities,
that make UP the bulk of the travel
these and the shoppers who want to
get apparel, curios, and be able to brag
that they bought this or that OF their
belongings in some famous establish
mcnt abroad
Undoubtedly 1t is true. as the Post
says, that some who go to Europe do
so because they want an entire change
OF surroundings and atmosphere,
want TO turn TO something entirely
new" But that need not take them to
Europe. We venture to say that the
average New Yorker, for instance,
would find that entire change OF atmos-
phere. that something entirely new, in
completer form in the picturesque
America than In Europe. That class
of travel we ought TO get in It's entire
ty, when what we have to offer Is
properly considered
But the suggestion OF the Post that
is of the greatest importance is that
which culls for acceptable service at
cheap rates. Ii is true that railway
travel In this country is as cheap as In
Europe-probably averages cheaper
per mile, first class; but In Europe
there Is a far cheaper service, third
class. wnicn is just as effective for
transportation. 1t Is also true that
first-class hotel values are as high. or
even higher, in Europe than in this
country; but there are pensions and
unpretentious hotels that give good
food and comfortable beds at very low
rates.
One trouble Is the greater distances
in America, 1t is a thousand miles
from Omaha TO Salt Lake: another
thousand from Salt Lake TO san Fran
cisco. Even at a low mileage rate, the
price Of a ticket must necessarily ap-
pear to be large, compared with the
prices OF transportation from London

would cease 10 live in plural marriage
and both have broken that pledge; botf
OF them accepted the manifesto inhib-
itins further solemni5a tIon of poIyga
nous marriages and polyganous living
and covenanted To their God and their
people that they would obey II I'm letter
and In spirit and both OF them con
tinue 10 live In open rejection of that
law and that covenant.
The News winds up IT'S criticism with
the following paragraph:
Warming comforting and shielding a
viper ie dangerous compassion. When Its
strength is revived and tho opportunity
opens, II VIII sting the hand that fed N
and exhibit Its real nature MS sure as II
IS n deadly reptile. The experience OF the
church has demonstrated this sufficiently
to form a warning for all time TO come
Let the word OF the Lord concerning
transGressore be observed according to
the spirit and meaning thereof
That Is what The Tribune has been
trying to demonstrate to the Mormon
people for many years, that the warm
ing the shielding. the protection and
tho nursing OF the transGressors who
stand in high places in the church is
dangerous TO the whole community.
The Deseret News has fallen into b. =
lated alliance with that idea. II its
advice shall be taken. there will be a
prompt church prosecution and excom-
munication OF the chief offenders
against the laws of the church Itself.
viz, Joseph F. Smith, perjurer. polyea-
mist sorcerer. doer OF prIestcraft, and
Charles w. Penrose Just plain viper.

A GREEK GIFT.

Naturally the organ OF the Demo
| cratic quorum of the church political
party supports the nomination of VIII
linn Spry for United States Marshal
for the District OF Utah.
One reason for its attitude Is the
close communion which the two quo
runs have, and which their organs
must maintain for the time being. A
more important and permanent cause
for its attitude Is the expectation OF
the Democratic members OF the eccle-
SiaStical combine that Smootism VIII

lican wing and that Democracy Will be
selected as tho political mouthpiece OF
the hierarchy The church Demo-
cratic newspaper is perfectly aware
that the nomination OF William Spry
Will still further dlsintegrate the pres
ent minority element OF the church
political organizations. Already Re-
publIcanism as represented and con-
troIled by Smootism in this State, is
without hope or political victory. To
