BOTH FALSE AND IMPUDENT.

Last night S Deseret News, in max
ing boast Of it's fairness. said: 'EThc
News has always accorded to othors the
fair treatment it demands for the mem
bers of the church and ITSELF
What a scandalous, impudcnt lie that
is! That is prec isely what the Dcscret
News does not do; has never done; has
always evaded and continues to eynde
from day to day. The very issue Of
the News which parnded that senti-
ment was conspicuous example of the
fact that the editorial claim Of fairness
was an impudcnt lie. 1t printed in full
the law.dcfying TRADE Of Elder Roberts
in the Tabernacle on Sunday last
where he claims to have answered the
Declaration of the April conference,
But 1T did not print that Review. What
then. was Roberts answering? Nothing
that any of the readers of the Dcseret
News has ever seen. if they depend up
on the News to give it. Any reader of
the Deseret News who wishes to see
what it is that Roberts was railing at
will have to buy a copy of The Tribune
TO see it. And that is the church or
gan s boasted fairness!
The News is constantly lying about
The Tribune, misstating and twisting
its position, pcrsistently misquoting
and lying about it, persistcntly lying
from day to day about what the minis
ters OF the Christian denominations in
this city and elswhere say, 1t Is the
most persistent, brutal, insolent, and
unscrupulous perverter Of the senti-
ments and utterances of others, and the
most hardened villain in the newspaper
field in refusing TO give any opportuni-
ty for reply TO those whom it attacks.
In the case it boasts about it got its
foot into ii by quoting what seemed
to it helpful to itself, suppressing the
context and connection, and could not
refuse TO amend is willful errors,
though it makes many wry faces about
complying with fair demand.
lis conspicuous unfairness is abso-
lutely demonstrated in this very issue
where il boasts of its fairness, where
it gives Roberts eighteen columns of
space to reply TO a Review which it re-
fuses TO print; the most glaring proof
that could be adduced of the falsity
Of its claim of fairness. And with
this finger of accusation pointed square
ly at the Deseret News where in the
very issue in which It's false pretense
is made the complete rcfutation of that
pretensc is found, we leave the News to
wallow in its miro of perversion, false
witness, mendacious claims, and impud
ent assumption of virtue which il
does not possess.

SENATOR DUBoIs's LECTURES,

Senator Fred T. Dubois will start up
on his lecture tour about the twenty
fifth day of the present month. He
will lecture at Madison, South Dakota,
June Goth, and will continue thence
with few Interruptions until August
25th. His lecture tour will cover eight
States; South Dakota, Illinois, Missou-
ri, Nebraska, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas
and Iowa, On July 2nd, he will lecture
before the Big Stone Lake Chautauqua
at Simpson Park, Big Stone Lake,
South Dakota. He will be introduced
on that accasiop by Senator A. b.
Kittredgc, Of South Dakota. who voted
The fact that Senator Kittredgc APP
pears with Senator Dubois on that
occasion indicates that the Senators
who so voted are very glad Of il, and
that it has added TO their popularity
before their constituents. The introduc
ing Of Senator Dubois at Big Stone
Lake Chautauqua by Senator Kittredgc
appears to have been at the instance
Of the South Dakota Senator, as the
first intimation that Senator Dubois
had Of this was the reception OF the
programme of the exercises,
Senator Dubois will, of course, en-
lighten the people of the country up
on the evils Of the hicrarchic domina-
tion in Utah, of the treason that they
live and utter, of the defiance of law
! that they show in their addresses and
! their daily lives, of the pledge break
ing they have been guilty Of, the de-
ceptlon, the evasion, and the general
falsity of the whole mass of the cor
rnpt, polygnmous priesthood The de-
| fiant address delivered by Elder
! Roberts in tho Tabernacle last Sunday
Will be a strong feature in Senator Du-
bos's lectures. There can be no doubt
! that il will be enormously effective.

merely to quote some Of the utterances
of Elder Roberts and to show an East
ern audience the favor with which
those uttcranccs were received by
President Joseph +. Smith and the au-
dience there and then assembled, The
indiscrctions committed by Elder
Roberts OH that occasion will afford
meaty material for Senator Dubois,
and for every other person who wishes
10 oppose the dominant, crafty ecclesi
astical rule in Utah church, State, and
political affairs. Nothing more serv-
icable to the opponents of the polyga'

ii will hasten the inevitable doom Of
the reasonable, arrogant, avaricious,
robbing, lecherous gang which has
fastened itself upon the whole church
and the whole State, as did the Old
Man of the Sea upon Sindbad. But
their days are numbered. Their de-
fiance of human and divine law, their
arrogance, their brutal robberies, will
only hasten the day of their own des-
truction. Their doom is sealed and by
their arrogance and intolerance they
are helping on the coming of the day
of their final destruction.

JAPAN ON THE RAW.

If the malignant gossip, revilings and
ratings that are being published in diff
fercnt parts of the world with respect
to an alleged difficulty between Japan
and the United States continue, they
viii in themselves be almost enough to
provoke serious trouble. There appears
TO be a faction in Japan determined to
provoke contention with the United
States. in putting humiliation upon this
country If they can. We look upon this
feeling III Japan as merely the continu-
alton of the rage which thoroughly per-
meated that country upon the news be.
ing cabled there that peace had been
declared between Russia and japan at
the Portsmouth conference in compli-
ance with President Roosevet's urgent
demand shat the parties get together.
and which led TO mobs aud popular dem
onstrations. This peace being declared
without any money indemnity to Japan
when she had demanded 100000, 900,
was a cruel blow TO the pride and eX.
pectstions of the japanese people.
There is no doubt also that Japan was
fully entitled to that money. 1t is not
unreasonable that n good many of the
Japanese should hold President Roose-
Welt responsible for the defeat of their
money claim. At the same time, their
allowed the matter TO get into such
shape that the money claim was the
only thing left unsettled, and Japan
could hardly insist that she should have
the money at the price of continued war
Japan's mistake in that whole matter
was in not presenting her money claim
first and insisting upon its consid-
Grafton before passing to some of the
other questions. The elimination of
Russia from Korean affairs was of
course the prime consideration; after
that the money question should have
been pressed, and the occupation of
Mapchuria, the division of Sakhalin, the
fishery questions, and the general run
of matters in peace treaties should have
been left till later, If that had been
done, Japan would have had some rea
son, besides the mere question of money,
for continuing the war, in case an agree
ment could not be arrived at. 1t was
her own blunder, therefore, that landed
her in that dilemma. Still. the Jap
anese can hardly he expected to admit
this, and those who deny il feel rancor
at this country for it's act, according TO
them, of forcing on them a peace with
out money indemnity. The peacemaker
may be blessed. as the Scripture says,
but in affairs Of nations he is apt 10
get his foot in ii, and TO be made to
suffer heavy penalty eventually 1t
was probably mistake for the Presi-
dent to bother with the Russo-lapanese
peace matter at all and it need not be
in tho least surprising If in tho end
this country Will be made TO suffer Sc
verely by reason of that interference.
AT the same time, it is incredible that
there should be any real danger Of seri-
ous disturbances between this country
and Japan. The initial step of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in granting the japanese
demands as to the San Francisco
schools was no doubt bad blunder. 1t
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1907-06-16

invited the Japanese to come forward
with other claims with the expectation
Of like result; but of course there
had to come time when Presidential
interference i'm local affairs WAS not only
unwarranted, as the first was, but abso'
lutcly impossible. Probably the United
States will have to make a direct and
straightforward representation To the
japanese Government as to the impos-
sibility Of the President interfering for
the correction Of all local abuses or dis
abilities that may be complained OF by
the Japanese If after this is done the
Japanese Insist on making every little
local occurrence an international affair,
rejecting the efforts of the local authori-
ties and courts, they Will simply have
to make the most of it and help them
selves if they can.

THE SIDE-LINE ABOLITION.

One of the important moves made by
Senator Thomas Kearns while he was in
the Senate was the introduction of a
bill to reform the matter of lines bound
ing mining claims. This bill, if it had
been enacted into law, would have de.
stroycd the side-line privilege now ac-
corded and would have made all the
lines bounding any mining claim the
same as the end lines now are That
is to say, every claimant of mining
ground would have been bound abso-
lutely by the lines surveying his
claim, He would have no more right
to go through his side lines into the ad-
joining ground than he now has to go
through his end lines. in following the
vein, Inasmuch as most of the mining
litigation arises from apex and side line
controversies, the passage of this
measure would enormously curtail and
simplify mining litigation.
While this bill failed of passage, the
idea involved in it was vital one, and it
has been taken up by many mining
mon all over the country and approved
by them. 1t will be one of the live is
sues before the American Mining con
gress TO be held in Joplin Missouri.
November 18th to 10Th inclusive. Recog-
nizing Senator Kearns S initiative in
this matter, the executive committee of
that congress has notified him of his
appointment on the committee 10 draft
a side line law for the consideration of
that session of the congress which is TO
be held next November, at Joplin. Dr.
James d. Hague of New York. John A.
Church of New York, DR.. K. \. +. Pom
rose of Philadelphia, and Charles j.
Hughes, ,Jr., of Denver, are the other
members of the committee. The reso.
luton providing for the appointing of
such committee was adopted at the
Denver session of the congress last year,
and is as follows:
Whereas. the existing Federal law
governing the location of lode claims
commonly known as the law OF the apex,
has been proved to be inadequate, and
conducive TO wasteful litigation;
Resolved. that the American Mining
congress exert its efforts to secure the
repeal OF the existing laws and the sub
stltute therefor or a law giving mineral
rights within vertical lines
Resolved. that the American Mining
congress appoint committee OF five min
ing engineers and mine operators 10 draft
a side line law. TO be presented 10 the
Federal Congress. this committee 10 re-
port at the next ANNUAL meeting Of the
American Mining congress; or II the COM
mittee OF mining engineers and operators
appointed by the public lands commits
sion shall. AT the request of the American
Mining congress, provide such law. the
President OF the American Mining con-
gress Is authorized to cooperate with
that committee and place the results OF
It's action before the congress at its next
session.
Senator Kearns viii attend the ses-
sion and will act with the committee on
this matter, and VIII do what he can in
support of the principle embraced in the
bill whlch be introduced in the Senate.

AGAINST ALL AUTHORITY.

Not only does Mr. Roberts rebel
against the law of this State and the
rule Of the church as laid down in the
Woodruff manifesto, but his life is in
direct opposition to the teaching of the
Book of Mormon, which has this to say
concerning the family relations:
Wherefore. my brethren, hear me. and
harllen TO the word OF the Lord. for there
shall not any man among YOU have save
IL bc one wife, and concubines he shall
have none.
According TO the Mormon pretension,
an angel from heaven took the trouble
to show to Joseph Smith, Jr., where the
plates. from which this Book of Mormon
is said to have been translated, were
hidden, and commanded that the book
should be published to the world as a
guide TO the conduct of mankind. But
Roberts sets up his immoral desire as
an authority superior to the supposed
word of the Lord as presented by the
angel Moroni. Roberts teaches the
young people OF his church that there
is justification for onc's rejection of
the written law Of his church, if the
conscience or the moral obligation of
the culprit shall point the way in that
direction. But in no instance is such
laxness of obedience permitted or coun'
tenanced by the priests Of the church
except in this matter Of polygamy and
polygamous living. That tenet of the
faith is held to be the most sacred of
all the teachings of Mormonism. and its
practice is to be protected, if necessary,
at the expense of every other principle
included within the creed. Polygamy
ministers to lust, and satisfies the un-
holy desire; and inasmucb as that
thought seems to be uppermost in the
hierarchical mind it is quite natural
that Roberts, or any others who stand
in the Mormon high places, should go
out of their way TO defend it.
AS time passes, it is becoming more
and more evident that the leaders of the
Mormon church are determined to re-
main in rcbellious defiance against the
country, and that it is not within their
intention to respect any promise which
they ever made, if in SO doing their per

living arc to be deprived of one atom of
satisfaction. Their attitude cannot
have any other effect than TO breed
treason in the minds OF the young, and
so pcrpetuate AN unlawful practice
which the church promised to abandon,
if only il could be permitted to enjoy
peace. The old enmity is being famed

follows that humble statement with the
egotism that ''they believe and

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The special business event Of the
week was the visit Of the party Of
Omaha business men who have been
making a trade excursion throughout the
Northwest This trade excursion from
Omaha was one of the most elaborately
planned of all the series that have been
undertaken in this line. IL started from
Omaha on Sunday, June ., went up
through Nebraska and Wyoming, Mon
tana, northern Idaho, eastern Washing
ton, eastern Oregon, and southern Idaho,
reaching Ogden and Salt Lake yestcr-
day Hence the party will proceed to-
night and tomorrow through southern
Wyoming back home, arriving there on
Tuesday. 1t is "trip that occupies
practically three weeks, and the Omaha

Salt Lake City welcomes these Omaha
visitors to a generous rivalry for the
trade OF the Northwest. Salt Lake busi-
ness men have recently made week s
tour throughout southern Idaho, estab-
fishing trade relations which viii be of
great Importance and benefit both TO
idaho and to Salt Lake, In so far as
Omaha may desire TO get in on this
trade, Salt Lake City will contest in a
spirit Of generous rivalry the points in

is doing the handsome thing by the
Omaha visitors, is glad TO see them. and
Will doubtless reap profit from their

hope to accomplish and the means they
intend TO adopt.
