THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, MONDAY MORNING. APRIL 1907

with its Legislature, is looking out for
it's own interests, and not for the
interests of any of the ueighboring
States or OF the country at large, still
less for the railroads 1t deals with
the railroad question simply as the rail
road question relates to that particular
State. OF course this is an incomplete
view. and is liable to be an oppressive
one in consideration Of the general
public, as well as the railroad com"
panies as regards their full trackage
Undoubtedly the National authority is
the only competent authority to regu'
late the railways which do an interstate
business, as interstate business is now
understood, with the tremendous rail
way systems that are in operation
covering not only various States, but
whole sections of the country. The
Hartman system of roads, for instance,
is so very extensive that TO call 1t
interstate hardly meets the case. So
many States arc penetrated by that
system and so many State Legislatures
could undertake the regulation of all

inclined that way. that the conflict
ing, irregular and selfish local inter
ests which would prompt and control
the action Of each State Legislature
might be extremely annoying to the
railway companies without being of
any practical benefit to the public at
large, that State control is menace
which the railway managers may well
fear. That fear will undoubtedly
prompt them more and moro to call for
Federal regulation and control as being
the unified, equitable system, applying
alike to all roads in operation, and
thoroughly beneficial TO the public,
without being injurious to the rail
roads.
The National incorporation and Con-
gressional control will undoubtedly be
the outgrowth of the present agitation,
and it is gratifying to see that the
great railroad magnates are coming to
recognize this as their best friend IN
place of their worst enemy, as their
idea was at first. The National control
will fit the National transportation,
and that is the rule that should be ap-
piled and enforced

THE PROGRESSIVE CITY.

| According TO the comparative state
ment by the Dun commercial agency,
tho bank clcarances of this city IN
creased during the month of March.
l01.4 per cent. as compared with March,
1905. This is practically the same as
our own computation Of cover 100 per
cent increase.
No other city given in the list shows
so well as this, Spokane is next, with
90.4 per cent increase, and then Seattle,
with SS.3 per cent. San Francisco s
gain of 800 per cent, though next 10 the
lowest of all that are given, of the
cities on the West coast, is yet,
under all the circumstances, an aston
ishing gain, in view Of the great calam~
ity that overlook the city nearly a year
ago And the exhibit proves that the
Pacific slope cities, of which Salt Lake is
the chief in percentage of gain, are IN
financially the most progressive com
mercial division Of the country. as the
Dun agency divides it.
This splendid showing of advancing
prosperity for Salt Lake is most graft
fying. 1t shows that the business of
the city is active and progressive, and
that the business men here are pushing
their advantage in site and in start to
the very best advantage. 1t shows, also,
that the American party triumph in this
municipality in November, 1905,
achieved the results that were expected
from it, in full measure, pressed down
and running over. Prior to the Ameri-
can party taking control Of the city,
progress was slow and uncertain What
was doing, was doing by American par
ty men, as was conclusivcly shown by
the contentious of the campaign, In
every case. when showing was made
by the opposition OF things doing in
realty purchases and in buildings
planned and in process Of construction,
it was easy to prove that the bulk OF
what was claimed as going on, was do
ing by American party men.
The record thus made has continued
in full force and effect ever since. 1t is
not the opposition shriekers, who shout
knocker!' whenever an American
party man does something to help aud
push the forward the city, that arc do
ing the work of progress; but it is the
active, energetic, pushing members of
the American party; and when 1T is not
them, it is men who arc free and clear
from the ertanglemcnts of the opposi-
ton conservatism that means death-in-
life.
So, here's to the American party, and
to the great and glorious city which
the Americans are making herel May
they long prevail, and keep Salt Lake
in the vanguard of American cities, and
her inhabitants as prosperous and wide
awake as they arc today!

FOR NATIONAL CONTROL.

One of the important developments
in the situation Of the railroad question
is the reported uttcrancc Of President
Hartman. OF the Union Pacific, that
he is in favor of the National regula-
tion and control Of interstate RAILWAYS
and their transportation, rather than
State regulation and legislation. This
VIC presume necessarily includes also
the favorable consideration OF the mat
ter of National incorporation for rail
roads doing an interstate business.
The reason for this opinion, which
is no doubt being shared By large
number of the great railway managers
Of the country, and is rapidly coming
into public favor, is the action Of a
number of Legislatures during the past
winter in imposing restricted rates and
conditions upon the railways operating
within their boundaries The two-cent
rate in Nebraska and other States.

THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She is modest, but not bashfu:
Free and easy, but not bold;
Like an apple-rlpe and mellow;
Not too yonug, and not too old;
Half inviting, half repulsing
Now advancing, and now shy.
There Is mischief In her dlmple,
There is danger In her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is schooled I'm all her arts;
She has taken her diploma
AS the mistress OF all hearts;
She can tell the very moment
When 10 sigh and when TO smile;
Q, maid is sometimes charming;
But the widow all the while!
Arc you sad? how very serious
VIII her handsome face become;
Are you angry? she Is wretched,
Lonely, friepdless. fearful, dumb,
Are you mirthful? how her laughter,
Silver sounding. will ring out.
she can lure, and catch, and play you
AS the angler does the trout.
You old bachelors Of forty.
Who have grown so bold and wise,
Young Americans OF twenty,
With the love-locks in your eyes
You may practice all your lessons,
Taught by Cupid since the fall
But i know a little widow
Who could win and fool you all

hood will understand that within the
Mormon church politics is n religious
affair-so that none but the ungodly
may be deceived. 1t is only neces-
sary to go back as far as last Novem-
Der in order to give the prophet the
lie Over his own signature, at that
time, Joseph T. Smith published the
following in the Improvement Era, a
magazine printed by the Mormon
church;
At the present time We are about TO
make choice of some political leaders. 1t
who has the interest OF himself and his
people at heart. will choose his friends.
Who are our friends? Mon who have kept
informed on the trend of affairs In the
Nation for the past two years or more
may easily surmisc. To vote any other
way would be ungracious. against our
own best interests, and would show a
spirit OF ungracousness such as this peo-
pie do not naturally possess.
Ii that is not domination of ccclc
siastical authority in political affairs, -
what else on earth can il he callcdl
Further, it may now be safely predict
ed--without the aid of inspiration
that, notwithstanding their latest de.
claration of principles, just as soon as
the bogus prophet shall have another
political Ak TO grind the ecclesiastical
grindstone will again rcvolve as read
lily ms it has done during the whole ca
reer of the Mormon church.

NO CHANGE, ONLY HYPOCRISY

For the purpose Of demonstrating
how near to the truth the Desert News
was when il said that the new manifes-
TO contained nothing new, a few com
parsons between present and former
teachings may not be ont of place. To
day the Mormon church declares that
it favors;
The absolute separation of church and
State.
In this city, in April, 1852, Brigham
Young-ihe president, prophet, seer,
and reyelator of the Mormon church
delivered himself thus:
/ am the controller and master OF af-
fairs here. under heavens direction:
though there are those who do not be-
lieye this
Referring to this same prophet, seer,
and revelator of the church. in a SER
mon delivered on August 30, 1857,
President Heber c. Kimball had this
to say, according TO the Journal of
Discourses Can authoritative Mormon
publication), volume D, pages 162 and
1863:
You have Governor here TO dictate
YOU and 20 tell YOU what To do; and il
we live our religion we arc always safe.
are we not?
And again, on September 6, 1856, Mr..
Kimball, who was member of the first
presidency Of the Mormon church, ce-
mented the church and state together
IN these most significant words;
The church and kingdom to which we
belong will become the kingdom OF our
God and His Christ, and Brother Brig
ham Young. will become President of the
United ., States Voices responded
presiden and Brother Wells a Is the Sec Sec
retary OF the Interor-yes. and of all
the armies in the flesh. You
may think that l am Joking; but ] am
perfectly willing that Brother Long
should write every word of IL; for ] can
see IL just as naturally as | sec the earth
and the productions thereof.-Journal OF
Discourses. volume ., page 2i9
And the fact will doubtless be ac-
knowledgcd that the foregoing quota
tions apply just as strikingly to this
other fervent hypocrisy in the new
manifesto as to its attitude:
No domination OF tho state by the
church.;
tions OF the state,
The absolute freedom OF the individual
from the domination OF eccleSia stical au-
thority in political affairs.
That is another sample Of the false
declarations contained in this newest
effort to deceive the Nation. 1t is that,
if we arc to believe what the present
prophet, seer, and revelator said in a
sermon which he delivered at Provo,
and which was printed in this very
protesting Deseret News on April 25.
1906:
The fact OF the matter Is. when a man
says you can direct me spiritually but
not temporarily. he lies I'm the presence OF
God--that is. II he has got intelligence
enough to know what he Is talking
about.
1t will probably be agreed that poll
tics is temporal matter, so that the
meaning Of Joseph +. Smith must be
perfectly clear. And yet he has the
presumption To sign such statement
as that quoted from the recent hic-
rarchical cmunation. But the priest

UTAH WOOL SEASON OPEN.

PrICc NdVOcate.
Utah's wool season opened on the first
of April, and all the railroads of the
State are busy placing their corrals in
shape TO receive the thousands of sheep
TO be deprived of their feecy coverings
during the next two months. The first
corrals 10 be put into operation are those
at Cisco. Verde and Price on the Rio
Grande Western, the first named camp
opening on the first OF April and the last
named about the 10th. About forty-five
thousand pounds will be sheared at Cisco
and perhaps fifty thousand pounds at
Verde. The outlook seems TO be that
about an even amount of wool will be
produced this year as was contained In
last years clip, OF which the Rio Grande
Western anticipates a haul OF about six
million pounds.

SPRAYING OF TREES.
Price Advocate.

Price Advocate.
The new horticultural law passed by
the recent legislative assembly is regard
cd with high favor. T he former statutes
regulating the spraying and care OF trees
were weak in many respects, and 1t was
the urgent desire OF the horticultural
boards and societies that better provi-
sons should be carried In the law, to
the end that the orchards should be
cleaned OF pests and the quality OF Utah
fruit improved. There has been lately
considerable discussion and activity in
the direction of pushing the State to the
front in the production OF superior fruits
for which II Is so we'll adapted. and Il
is expected and hoped that this law will
be greatly helpful TO this end. 1t Is
hoped that the new law, on practical
test, Will be found TO meet the hopes
and desires OF our fruitgrowing experts.
