THE SAGE GIFT.

Mrs. Russell Sage has made a gift
whose value to the world is likely to be
greater than all the millions which
Rockefeller and Carnegie may bestow
upon education and libraries. Mrs.
Sage has granted ten millions upon Il
society which shall teach people how
to live.
In selecting trustees, some of the
ablest and most devoted social stu
dents and practical reformers of tene-
ment and other struggling life, have
been named, But there is one regret
TO those who know of Social Service in
New York-an Institution headed by
the famous DR., Josiah Strong. In the
midst of great difficulties this society
has developed into one Of the greatest
aids to modern civilization. 1t reaches
every part Of the world with its in
formation and research. Recently some
American fnanciers proposed to estab-
lish great factory in England; and
they consulted Social Service in New
York for the plans OF an industrial
town. Social Service furnished the en-.
tire plan, Artisans who work In that
town will bo housed better than Il
prince was sheltered one hundred years
ago. Every economy in the conduct Of
the domestic establishment will exist;
and If the individual householder will
but perform its part. the money saved
by the proper economies will give a
luxury of living quite equal to what a
professional man enjoys
1t would have been a grand thing if
Social Service could have had the Gift
of ten millions from Mrs Sage. This is
the amount which Doctor Strong esti-
mated some time ago in a talk with

THE LESSON OF PANIC.

There is in the threat of depres-
sion in business affairs a great lesson
which the people of the United States
of all classes must learn, The lesson
is that special interests, carried to the
extreme of exacting possibility, will
arouse such antagonism as to jeopardize
if not completely destroy the peculiar
prerogative which those special inter
ests demand as their own. This is as
true Of the special privilege of the
labor union as it is true of the special
privilege of the railway magnate. Pros
perity has bred carelessness. While
times were good, manipulators could
multiply securities and unload them
upon the public with no strict account
ing Of the proceeds. While times were
good, unions could make increasing ex-
actions day by day and employers were
der to fulfill the obligations of their
industry or commerce.
With the aggression of railway COM
panies upon the public and private
right, law has stepped in to regulate;
and the lawmakers, indignant at some
real wrongs, have made extravagant
declarations concerning imaginary evils
and have threatened n Wholesale re-
form regardless of consequences. Labor
unions in some places have become SO
arrogant, so unjust-even toward labor
itself as dissociated from some particu-
lar union which has acquired temporary
dominance-that employers have gone
TO the extreme Of threatening to close
down their works as the final and only
effective relief from the abuse per-
petuated by the special interests
against the common welfare.
1t is unlikely that panic will come
at this time, despite the various threats.
But the fact that events arising out
Of enormous prosperity can point in
evitably TO a panic should make Ameri.
cans pause and view the situation with
unprejudiced vision
At this very hour we are confronted
by two segregated declarations which
show how easy the aggressions of one
class may be assumed as a justitica-
tion by some other class. or even by
the law-making body, for retaliatory
action which shall further intensity a

A LIAR BY INSPIRATION,

Just 10 show the kind Of facts and
logic which divinely inspired organ
of the Mormon God presents to It's
readers as the supernal truth, The
Tribune quotes in its entirety today,
mn editorial of the Deseret News en-
titled. ''The Parent Release
The News places in one category OF
"suspects - man who has confessed
to his crime, and man who has plead
cd not guilty and against whom the
chief testimony is that of an avowed
thief That shows the fine power of
discrimination on the part of the News.
1t shows the usual sense OF justice
which animates the News That organ
of the Mormon God can sec no differ
ence between the chief Of policc-who
would not leave the city if he could,
and who, therefore, was very properly
released on his own recognizance, and
n notorious crooS-who has travelled
over the country under many names
and who has probably already fled
from the jurisdiction Of the court, upon
being corruptiy released on his own
recogni2ance.
The News says that "the law should
not be made the agency of unequal
imposition And yet the News IN
sists that the law shall be administered
with the greatest possible inequality.
\ Gentle polygamist in this church
governed State is sent to the peniten-
tiary; and a Mormon polygamist is
placed in n high seat in the tabernacle.
The Deseret News contends that GER
tain laws were made to be disobeyed-
by the elect of it's cult. 1t has re-
peatedly declared that there was a
tacit understanding on the part of the
leaders of its church that they had no
need to obey the law, that they could
live in flagrant defiance Of the sta
tutes. And yet the News says that
"the law should not be made the
agency of unequal imposition"
The News says that it can see little
justice in the principle Of permitting
one class of suspects TO have their
freedom and not another. The man
who pleaded guilty TO burglary tho
other day is, according TO the defini-
tion of the News, merely "suspect;"
and yet he is in Jail Then why not
put Tanner IN jaIl2 He is a suspect
that is, he is a suspect if the burglar
is one; for both belong to the same
class, both are notoriously guilty. Why
not put Joseph +. Smith and others
of his ilk in jail2 They belong to the
same class of suspects which is
honored by the membership of the
convict burglar, He is self.confessed
criminal; and they are self confessed
criminals.
The Tribune takes pleasure in pre-,
senting the entirety of the Deseret
News article, as fair illustration of
the false statements and the false
reasoning in which that journal in
dulges. 1t is always delight TO quote
i'll full the organ of the Mormon Lord.
Where all other kinds of proof against
the Deseret News and the bogus proph,
cts of the Mormon church might fail,
the editorial articles Of that sheet will
demonstrate to any reasoning mind
the utter degradation of the cult

ON TRIBUNE GROUND.

The Tribune thought that the inter.
view about the bad advertising which
Utah is getting in the East at this time
would cause the Descrrt News 10 rise
ON its hind legs and how'll iackals
do get on their hind legs when they
do howl; and the expectation was not
disappointed. II scorchcs thc News a
little 10 find that its plea for peace in
Utah at any price, its objection to the
publication of the truth concerning
Utah, should come back upon itself al
this time when the conspiracy against
George Sheets and the publication
thereof are found to initiate against
the reputation of Salt Lake abroad
Well, let the lackal howl: tho American
party and The Tribune arc unwrung;
and George Sheets win probably be de
liverod from the lash by judicial dc
cision and jury verdict at an early
time.
The Tribune insists in the Sheets
case, AS it has all along insisted in the
cases of the polygamists, that The
wrongdoer is responsible for the evil
advertisement. II is not the witness
TO crime and it is not the newspaper
which publishes The fact concerning
the crime which should be rcbuked for
the evil effects which follow the ncces,
sary public pronouncemcut and repro.
hcnsion
If George Sheets is guilty, he is re-
sPonsible for the evil reputation acru-
ing TO Salt Lake in his case. II he is
not guilty the conspirators arc respons-
lblc. In neither ease are the ncwspa-
pers to be blamed for printing the facts
and for demanding justice.
If the polygamists are guilty Of po-
1ygamy, then they are responsible for
the evil advertisement coming TO Utah
from their crime. If the church does
publish a Doctrine and Covenants con
tanning the revelation teaching polyg-
amy, the church is responsible for the
evil advertisement, If these things be
not true-if Joseph f. Smith lied when
he testified that he was living with five
wives, and if other priests have lied in
giving similar testimony; then they, as
consplrators AGAINST the public welfare,
are responsible In neither case arc
the newspapers to blame for giving pub
licity to the facts and for demanding
justice.
The fact is that the News is torn by
its own claws, 1t has bitten its own
flank. 1t frotbs in frenzy now.
There was remark made by citizen
when the Sheets case assumed proper
tions which indicated that the facts
would travel abroad, which Just fits the
News. "The Tribune will win another
victory over the News. as usual. The
News has insisted that The Tribune
should not publish the facts about Nor
mon polygamous crime and teaching OF
crime, for the sake of peace Of Utah.
And The Tribune has insisted that the
way to get reform was TO have the facts
known. And now that the Sheets case
must 90 to the world, the News will
come over to The Tribune s side and
argue that the evil advertisement is
caused by the facts and not by the wit
ness to the facts. congratulate The
Tribune upon its prospective victory
The News always has to tag around
to The Tribune's ground

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The closing days of the Legislature
have made a lively time during the
week. tremendous interest being
taken especially i'll the Appropriation
bill. This will carry the supplies of
every kind for the ensuing two years,
and Will amount to considerably over
two million dollars. The most siren
uous efforts will scarcely serve to keep
the expenditures within the estimated
revenue.
The week has given us another heavy
snowfall amounting to an inch of
water. This snow is mostly gone from
the valley, but this fall added ma
terially to the reserves in the hills.
The weather remains mild and spring
like. The shecp-shearing will probably
begin soon in the flocks in the Dixie
country,
The week in the city has shown a
strong, steady trade. Collections are
good. The bank clearances show an
increase Of POI per cent over those of
the corresponding week last year, this
above the tremendous jump of 77,2 per
cent increase over the 1905 record,
this being chiefly due TO the accession
of the American party administration
to power, and typical of the gains re-
corded from week to week at that
time.
The mining and stock exchange rec
ord is even better. 1t shows sales of
259,62S shares of stock for $271 ,55437
the past week, compared with 252,9l9
shares for $l39, 9,s09.60 the correspond
ing week last year, a gain Of close upon
100 per cent, the increase being in the
value of the shares sold, with but little
increase in their number-a healthy
sign all round.
The real estate market is opening
up in fine shape for the season. There
are frequent sales of Importance, and
a constant succession OF transactions
that in the aggregate count for heavy
business. But the actual sales convey
only a faint idea of the activity Of
this market; there are negotiations and
'talks' that keep the realty men busy
all the time. and that show striking
and gratifying interest in the real
estate situation of this city. 1t is
more and more becoming evident that
the sure future Of this city is con-
vincing all that investment here is
certain to be safe and profitable.
The building operations start off on
more tremendous scale than ever be-
fore known. First comes Mrs.
Judges railway block, tho foundation
for which is eXcavated. Then come
the big elevcn-story blocks, the ''New-
house, and the "Boston - contracts

Tho mines of the State continue to
put out their rich output at the rate
of about $soo,000 per week. They also
maintain as reserves sufficient to as
sure production at the same rate for
long time to come. Their careful,
skillful and conservative management
make Utah mines favorites everywhere
in the financial world.
