THE MONTHS PRECIPITATION

The precipitation for the month Of
March, 1907, measured 2,35 inches. The
average March precipitation for thirty
three years has been 204 inches, but
to reach this seems every time an over
plus. The reason is that the average
is raised by the great precipitation
shown in some years by the record
thus, in 1876 the precipitation was
inches; in 1884 it was 500; in 1885 it
was 6.64; in 1904 it was 800. But
there were lean years, also. AS well as
fat years in the record. In 1879 the
March precipitation was but .67 inch;
in 1880, but .43; in 1881, but IS; in
1887, but 50 inch; in 1895, but
81; while in 1900 it fell to the un-
preccdented minimum of .33 inch.
These figures show not only the very
great variation of the March precipita-
tion but they dispel any illusion of
pcriodicity OF years in greater or
less pitation-unless the whole
thirty-three years during which the
record has been kept is too short a
time for the development of
periodical record, But at the same
time, these same years have seen
very large variations in the lake level,
which do not seem to be accounted for
by the precipitation, The lake is much
lower now, for example, after four
years of more than average precjpita-
ton, than it was in 1888, after FIVE
years of abnormally light precipitation.
But we were speaking of the month,
and a single month s precipitation,
however indicative Of the season s rain
and snowfall is not decisive, though
March comes nearer being gauge for
the season than any other month. And
in the meantime. it is good to know
that the lake Is six inches higher now
than it was at its best last year

GIBBS PROVES 1T ALL.

Just at this time, when Joseph f..
Smith, the bogus prophet of the Nor
mon church. is defying all humanity to
prove that there is ecclesiastical inter
ference in politics. the letter OF MIR. j.
f. Gibbs. printed In this issue, is par
ticularly apropos.
Mr., Gibbs relates a conversation
which he had with a member of the
Mormon church who lives in Nevada,
That gentleman is bold enough TO say
that, no matter what the protestations
OF Smith and his favorites may be, he
KNOWS that they do interfere in poll
tics, having seen and read letters which
gave instructions TO the saints Of Ne
vada what 10 do In their political lives
The very courage exhibited in making
this announcement is proof of the
added assertion that he and some others
paid no attention to the attempted die
tation. These men are far enough
away from the directly communicating
and malign influence OF the hieraTchs
to have learned that there is such
thing as liberty in this country, and to
put that knowledge into practical use.
However, the ecclcsiasts are working
out toward their way, as the Gibbs
letter further discloses With few
more courageous men like our CORE
spondcnt in the Sagcbrush State. be it
further said, the polvgamous vaudals
will find there some foemen worthy of
count, who will make the ecclesiastical
conquest Of that commonwealth any
thing but an easy rcciine upon bed OF
roses
And while the blatant Smith is hurl
ing defiance at decency here in Salt
Lake, there arc hundreds of his own

who are pondering the awful confcs-
sions which thoir unworthy chief made

al home declared to honest believers
that he had merely lied when he was
away from his own people. Brazcn as
this particular Smith is, he cannot al

struction of tho public interests in
volved. That the College is the victim
Of this political turbulence and bosssm,
there cannot longer be the shadow Of a
doubt.
1t Is quite true that great many
good people in this State were and arc
in favor Of the consolidation of the
Agricultural College with the State
University, a great many believe that
it would have been to the advantage
of the State had they been united from
the first. But as they were not so
united and have grown up as separate
institutions, the question is whether it
is still To the advantage of the State TO
make the consolidation. We believe that
it is. We believe that a good many
others honestly think the same. But
We do not believe for one moment that
the right way to do this is by political
iobbery and the art Of the partisan
hceler. And il comes with an exceed
ingly bad grace from any OF the crowd
guilty of this hutchery Of the College
or any OF the defenders of that unrlght-
eous gang, to charge any one else with
desire to see strife and contention.
The Tribune has done nothing whatever
to. make strife and contention in this
matter; bnt the whole trouble has been
stirred mp by the political intrigues and
manipulations from the Cutlcr.Smoot
side or the house, The Tribune has al
ways been firm friend Of the Agri-
cultural College and has always done
what 1T could to present its case fairly
and clearly to the people of this State,
and TO insist upon the Importance of
the work done there, and the great ben
efits which the College and its work
can and do confer upon the people of
this State. No other paper in Utah has
done a tithc as much as The Tribune in
exploiting the work of the Agricultural
College and pointing out wherein its
benefits are possible and manifest. This
the News chooses to entirely ignore; but
the people OF the State and the people
of the College do not forget the fact.
In the meantime The Tribune, secure in
its friendship for the College, absolute
ly certain that the Cutler.Smoot gang
began and finished the aggressive po-
litical and polygamous fight against it,
and the butchers who have committed
the ugly and damaging assaults from
which the College is even now reeling,
is content to leave the verdict with the
people of this State who know the facts
and are most competent to Judge them
The political war on the Agricultural
College is notorious; every one knows of
it; every one knows who made and is
making it, and The Tribune has neither
lot nor part with them.

AN HONORABLE DECLINATIoN.

The subtle suggestion that it would
be a good thing to Offset the objections
to the Mormon ecclesiastical dominance
in civil affairs in Utah, by Offering n
! civil position to minister of orthodox
faith, has failed of its purpose. The
minister declined to accept. lie was
wise, and was not caught in the hie-
rarchc trap. It would have been inn
mensely gratifying to the priesthood
had the scheme worked; for then they
could have retorted, whenever objection
was made TO the ecclesiasts taking the
Offices and exercising civil control, that
we would do the same il wc had The
opportunity, and this example would
always have been cited as proof.
But the Rev. p. A. SimpkI refused
to be caught in the trap. He hal the

QUESTIONS THAT STICK.

Merely because The Tribune formu-
lated list OF questions which the
bogus prophet should be made TO an
swer-and each of which inquiries is
based upon fact and practice in the
daily life of that delectable individual
the organ of polygamous graft loses
its temper
but there is one feature which the
News has omitted in its mollycoddlinp
IA most significant feature. 1t has
1ailed to answer any Of those oues-
lions, There can be but one expla-
nation for this neglect; and that is
that the divine fraud has forbidden the
organ OF hypocrisy to attempt such an
impossible feat. AT any rate, it being
beyond the wits of the Spurious One
10 make satisfactory answer to. those
questions, and still hold his graft, it
must be plain that the News is not
desirous of losing the job for him.
In order that the public may again
see what it is that the Deserct News
takes such violent ofTense at, let the
questions, propounded by The Tribune
on Sunday morning, be repeated, viz:
Why do you say that you worship a
Goa whose commands You will obey or
disobey, at your pleasure and at the
dience?
Why DO you not keep the pledges
under which we. your followers, re-
ceived the full freedom OF American
citizenship?
Why do you disregard Your own in
depreciation of the manifesto?
Row 90 YOU Justify YOUR announced
determlnation TO live in defiance OF the
laws OF God and man?

of the Lord, why, In that same name.

Why do YOU persist in a course which
brings this. innocent congregation into
dlsrepute all over the country?
why do you not command all of your
apostles TO attend strictly to the call
ing TO which they were ordained?

II 1t is righteous thing for YOU to
break the laws OF the land and the laws
OF inc church what VIII you have to
say TO the world II we all follow your
example?
Why do YOU pretend TO be a prophet,
seer. and revelator at all, since YOU make
no prophecy and confess that you receive
no revelation?
Each one of those questions is based
upon the testimony Of Joseph f. Smith
at Washington, or upon admitted facts
in his daily life. There is not false
premise or wrong assumption in them.
If it Is abuse to tell the truth. then, in
the language of the News. 'fwe wonder,
ladies and gentlemen of Salt Lake.
what you think Of this sort of abuse 2"
The great trouble is that The Tribune
advised the Mormons to ask those ques-
tions in conference.
And to further express our belief that
members Of the Mormon church should
bear in mind the truth at all times
We say 10 them all;
Cut this out and pnste it in your
hat. so as TO have it handy to ask the
questions IN conference.
