WORKING AN EASY GRAFT.

In its report of the tabernacle ser
vices Of Sunday last, the Deseret News,
organ Of the Mormon church and its
governing frauds, reports the chief
falsehood monger as saying: 81 never
was much of hand to try 20 accumu-
late wealth
When he was on the witness stand at
Washington, Joseph +. Smith-to whom
the News attributes the remarks quoted
testified to the fact that he was
stockholdcr or. director, or both, in
score of business institutions in this
State and surrounding commonwealths.
AT that time he was being examined
to the point of discovering if the charge
was true that the Mormon church was
a commercial institution. In order to
gain the end which the disciples of de-
ceit had in view at that time, the self
styled prophet advanced the idea that
his prominence in the business concerns
which were there named was due most
ly TO his personal boldings-that the
church itself was not largely interested
He told the Senate committee that such
holdings as the Mormon church pos
sessed IN business were represented in
himself as trusteo-in trust.
Before Joseph +. Smith ascendcd to
the Mormon ecclesiastical throne he
was n charge of the church. He was
poor man, entirely dependent upon the
funds of the organization to which he
belonged. In the short time Of his in
cumbency in the Grst presidency he
has come TO be rated as worth over a
million dollars. Wonderfully rapid con
servatlon of pelf, is it not, for man
who ':nevcr was much of n hand to
try 10 accumulate wealth.
There are ali sorts of people living
IN this country who would give little
TO know how the. prophet does IT, if
what he SAYS is tfue But the trouble
is that there is not word of truth in
what the fraud says, either in this or
any other matter pertaining TO his own
acts. Whenever Smith leaves his we'll
beaten track of plagiarism it is impos.
sible for him TO speak the truth He
never originated one utternnce OF worth
! IN all of his career
| IL he does not earn the money which

he accumulates, from whom does he pill
fer it1 From the poor people of his
church, Do the companies in which he
10 stockholder or director, or BOTH
require no attention from him as such?
Do his words convey the confession
that he has invested tithcs in his own
name and that he draws the earnings
of the money Of others for his personal
benefit?
If there be directors meeting Of
any church concern, in which fee IS
paid to each director for attendance,
the fact can be easily ascertained by
an observation, just before meeting
time, of the thoroughfare leading from
the presidents Office, Then one may
see the unbusiness.i revclator put q
University fieId.day sprintcr entirely to
the worse Of il. The pious disclaimer OF
wealth fairly scorches the asphaltum In
cutting off corners while getting
there And after the meeting is over
the prophetic speed back to the presi"
dent S Office is none abated; for the
spurner of filthy lucre is Just as anXi"
GUS to get back to his commercial lair
in order 10 hasten plans for crushing
those who will not play his own COM
mercial game, as he was 10 grasp his
director IS fee.
It is ucccssary-absolutely indispens'
sble-that the prophet, bogus as he is,
make some sort OF hypocritical profes'
sion in order that he may cover up his
sordIdness. But TO any man who has
the desire to make proper observation
and inquiry. the fact is open TO dem
onstra ton that Joseph f. Smith knows
of no other value attaching to the Nor
mon church than that which ministers to
his personal financial gain. He has been
waiting for many years for the oPpor"
tuuity to take advantage of that as
set. He has it--and you may depend
upon it that he is working 1T TO The
utmost overtime Limit.

TRANSIENT STOCK LAW.

Grand Valley Times.
Probably one OF the most important
laws passed by the recent Legislature,
from the standpoint. at least, OF the citi-
Zens of what Is known as the cow coun-
ties" is the transient stock law. Ever
since Utah has been q State Its Legisla-
lures have been wrestling with the prob
lem of transient stock. There havo been
four laws along this line enacted during
the last eleven years. The law which
was repealed by the new stock bill had
been in force since 1901. This law had
entirely failed TO meet the situation. I'm
der its provisions 1t was almost impossi-
BILE to collect taxes from transient stock
owners, In Grand county. five or six
herds OF transient sheep would be brought
in every year and be graZed here from
about the first of December to the first
OF March or April, when they would be
taken elsewhere On an average about
half of them escaped taxation. This was
unavoidable for the reason that the law
allowed them TO remain In the county
thirty days before their owners were re-
Quired to Ble q grazing certificate with
the County Clerk
Under the provisions OF the bill Just
passed the transient stock owner is re-
q,,red to file with the County Assessor
within fifteen days after he had crossed
the county line, a certificate showing how
many sheep or cattle he has, their marks
and brands, and when ne will proba bly,
leave. In addition to this he must give
a bond for the payment OF his taxes. un-
less he has sufficient real property; not
only In the State, but In the county
where the sheep are brought, TO secure
them.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1907-04-24

imposed upon the German people the
necessity of having n huge and power
full navy, Defeated in the Reichstag
on this question, he repeatedly appealed
TO 1T and is constantly gaining before
tho people. He will never rest until
the German navy is able TO challenge
even the English navy in effectiveness
and power. The Germany army now
is admittedly the most effective in or
ganization and armament of any army
in the world This, however, is but
one arm Of military power, and the
Kaiser demands that the other arm;
that is to say, the effectiveness of his
navy on sea, shall be made proportion
ately as high as the German army is on
land.
In view Of this, and in view of the
undoubted ambition of Russia to renew
the war with Japan as soon as the
Siberian railroad is double. tracked, and
az soon as the disturbances at home
may be quellcd and her military force
recruited with a view to pushing on to
the occupation Of Manchnria and
Korea. that ambition will be pursued.
In view of the increasing armament5
Of Germany and Russia. in view of the
increased talk in Great Britain in fa-
vor Of having standing army of great
er effectiveness and strength than now,
in view Of the constant striving Of
Franco for supremacy on the sea and
for an equal military strength on land
with Germany, il would be the widest
folly on the part of the United States
to render herself defenseless before the
world. Just as soon as this defense
lessness was known, and the rapacious
plans Of European nations could be ad"
juested so as to accord each a due
"sphere of influence in the United
States, tho invasion of this country
would begin,
Peace is great thing-the best thing
that can come to nation; but the old
advice so we'll impressed upon the peo-
pie by Washington, to be always pre-
pared for effective defense, is just as
good today as it ever has been before
in the history Of the world. No great
nation can afford 10 disarm until all
have agreed to do so and have entered
upon actual disarmament in pursuance
of that agreement.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1907-04-24

the very verbiage. IN way that would
seem quite impossible unless he had had
it stuffed into him by some Mormon
missionary or cmissary, 1t is certainly
a reprehensible thing for man OF the
standing Of President Dabncy TO make
such n reckless charge as this, to IN
dulge in such gross exaggeration, and
to fall in with the despicable sontnoent
which is the Mormon refuge in all such
repartees. We notice that there is OBJ
lection TO President Dabney's utter
ances on this matter in the East. We
are satisfied that if the Eastern pco-
pie knew that this sentiment was taken
bodily from vicious and bigoted Nor
mon writers and speakers, they would
object still more strongly to President
Dabney's characterization of United
States Senators. President Dabncy may
consider that sort of repartee very ef-
fcctive in the East, but in the West
where 1t is known Of old and has be"
come a chestnut, its vicious, meaning
less, and false imputation is thorough
ly understood and reprehended.
President Dabney, in indulging in that
kind Of talk, merely showed that he
knew nothing whatever about the
Smoot case; and while it is usually sup
posed that a speaker Of reputc and
honesty will endeavor to obtain some
information in regard TO matter that
he undertakes TO treat publicly, that
rule has utterly failed in this case.
Apostle Smoot was not sustained in the
Senate because OF the failure Off any
theoretical -polygamy case against him,
nor was any theoretical -polygamy case
urged against him. He was sustained
in the Senate for political reasons or
for partisan reasons, and through Pres
idential pressure. And the case against
him was for his afliEation with and con-
certed union in n law-defying, polyga-
nous. reasonable priesthood in its
actions and words against the United
States, and his sustaining, approving,
and actively endorsing an alien tenn
poral government which the theccracy
has set up within the boundaries of
the United States, he being its en-
bassador to the United States Govern
ment in the view of the priesthood,
precisely as Mr.. James Bryce is the em-
bassador from Great Britain to tie
United States
