Frenrzied Finance.

A Swede went into one Of the
banks at Kenmare a few days ago
and asked to borrow ten dollars for
a, month. The Swede had plenty OF
land and was honest, SO the bank
loaned him the money, but was care
fuf to take out the interest. which
tho a little high amounted to $3.50.
Tie Swede started fo- home with his
$3.50 and the farther he walked the
more he studied his financial condi-
ti6n. He sat down along the road
and was still figuring when one OF
his friends Glanced to come his way.
What's the matter Ole? What's
troubling you today?' Ole scratched
hissshead little and then replied
"Ay tank them banker, fellers been

STORE.
w. b Aawley and Others 'ncorpor-
ate the Economy Drug Co. With a
Capital Of $4,000. Will Open in
the hoIlinoer Block Feb. I.

Minot will have her sixth drug
store about Feb. l., when the Economy
Drug Co., which consists of local
parties will occupy the new Hollinger
Block on South Main street.
The company is incorporated for
$4,000 by the following: John Hol'
liHger, Ray E. Hopkins and VIM. B.
Hawley. Mr.. Hawley will nave sole
charge Of the new store.
Mr.. Hawley started four years ago
the store which is now owned by the
Minot Drug Co. aud until little over
a year ago he conducted that place of
business with marked success, sell.
ing out his interests to that concern.
He Is one of the best known and
most capable druggists in the state
aud he always gets q large share OF
the business. Although six drug
stDres seem to be plenty for Minot,
Mr.. Hawley states that six stores OF
this kind are no more according to
the present population than three
were when he started the third one
four years ago.
The store will be one of the most
beautiful in the Northwest. The
1idor will be of a beautiful tile de-
sign and the fixtures probably will
be of oak.
The store has all kinds of money
back OF it. Mr.. Hoellinger, one of the
insorporators, is the owner of the
Windsor Hotel. He has lived in
M1not six years and has been very
successful in financial way.
Ray E. Hopkins is one of Minots
rising young business men.
The store will start out with the
best wishes of every one.

PROBE THE LAND GRABS.

State Senator Benner " Smith has
brought to an issue m important ques-
ton, concerning which moderately we'll
informed men in this State have been
quietly but intensely expressing their
opinions for some months, and even for
some years past.
Senator Smith h's resolution for tho
appointment of special committee on
State lands, authorized TO inquire into
certain specific charges and (gen-
crally) the administration of
the State land office, is time
ly. The prompt and unanimous
adoption of the resolution by the State
Senate demonstrates determination to
take either the scandals or tho evil
practices by the throat and annihilate
one or the other. If the State Land
board and its employees have been the
objects of a malicious and prosecuting
libel, the facts should be known to all
citizens of Utah, in order that this i'm
portant body may once more reposc,
and Justly rcpose, in the confidence of
the commonwealth. On the other hand,
If the statements which have been cur.
rent IN this community for some time
past to the effect that favoritism, un-
fairness, and practices closely ap-
preaching illegality have prevailed,
shall he substaDtiated by the work of
this special committee, general clean
ing up must be ordered and effected, in
the public interest
1t was unfair that the charges should
continue year after year without
either legislative or executive notice.
Senator Smith has conferred a genuine
service upon Utah by forcing the mat.
ter to q definite issue.
The Tribune trusts that the commit
tee will make an exhaustive investira-
ton covering more than the period be-
ginning with January !, 1906, within
which brief time the special improprie-
ties are charged; because these specific
oifcnses, If they were committed, are
but echoes of accusations of more se
rious and more extensive fraudulent
practices.
The lands granted to Utah by the
Federal Government constitute q per
petunl heritage for the people of this
commonwealth. A statesmanlike con-
servation OF their area and values will
make most of the institutions OF the
commonwealth self.supporting in the
not distant future Frauds upon them
constitute double treachery. Their
wastage is not only q present wrong,
but robbery IN perpctuity of tho
State and its beneficiary institutions.
No reasonable rule can be too rigid
Which guards this imperial gift Of land
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1907-03-01
A CLEAR VISION.

For an accurate, comprehensive, far
and courageous presentation Of the
Smoot case we commend to Tribune
readers a pcrusal of tho article re-
printed today under the title of "A
Fleeting Triumph from the editorial
columns of the Washington (Indiana)
Herald.
The Herald is Republican; its editor
is a man of prominence in his partyi
he has given long and intimate study
to the Utah question in general and the
Smoot case in particular.
The Herald sees the great wrong
which has been done by and TO the
Nation by the false view and the ca
ioled votes of the Smoot proponents in
tho Senate: and, with statesmanlike
vision, the Herald also sees that the
triumph Of the polygamous cult in the
retention of Smoot is evanesccnt in
character and dangerous in extreme
to the church of which he is a re-
sponsible authority.
1t is consoling, in this time when
political chicanery, venality, and other
effective powers have been operated in
behalf Of the polygamous cause in pol.
itics. to find here and there publicist
of such conscience and courage that he
will not bow before the procured de-
cision of even the Senate Of the United
States.
The Washington Herald is right in It's
attitude; the triumph Of wrong is a
fleeting one. Not one of the lamcntable
facts is changed by the vote of the
United States Senate. The Mormon
church continues its daily teaching of
polygamy: its leaders continue their
polygamous living; hundreds of young
men and young women have been drawn
into the practice, and they continue
therein; Reed Smoot has never raised
his voice within the church or in Utah
against polygamous teaching or polyg"
amous practice; as an apostle Reed
Smoot continues to be q responsible
part of the governing power of the cult;
the Mormon church does teach, and its
adherents believe, that the church is
the kingdom of God, with temporal
power superior to that of the Govern
ment OF the United States; no man who
holds an apostleship in the Mormon
church, and who believes what he in
culcates to his following, but pays a
superior devotion to the church over
any that he can offer to the Nation.
These facts remain. They arc inde-
structible. Not one Of them was erad-
icated, not one Of them was modified,
by the Senate s vote. They stand in
all their glaring shame-irrefutable. So
long as the facts endure, no vote pro"
cured by misrepresentation or bargain
ing can conceal the infamy or can end
the necessary and righteous warfare
a gaipst the radical evils.
Indeed. the triumph will be hecting
one for the Mormon church; and it will
be the most costly victory that the
polyamous cult has ever won-for
when the people Of the United States
shall learn all the truth (and they will
learn IT'D there will be such enforced re-
form as will make the Mormon church
TO wish that it had never attempted to
foist its reasonable government into
the councils of this Nation.
