THEATRES CLOSED
AND SALOONS DARK

Cleveland Dec. 22.-Today was the
most peaceful Sunday Cleveland has ex-
perienced in a year or more. Saloons
were dark and the theatres closed. Ths
police had no excitement and the police
blotter was practically clear. Coroner
Burke had no bodies to view and only
two persons were arrested for intoxica-
ton.
The police explain the sudden observ-
ance of the law as a possible precaution
on the part of the saloons to avoid ex-
citing a local crusade against them in
sympathy with the Sunday observance
movement in other cities.

PIONEER DAY "REMINISCENCES.

II is natural on the approach of Pho
neer day that there should be more or
less "reminiscences, expressions of con
gratulations, and even gush in relation
thereto All this is perfectly natural,
and no one is entitled in the least to find
fault with it, AS matter of fact, the
whole community can Join most heartily
in the celebration of Pioneer day and
| in properly honoring the men who first
settled in this city. even though they
were not able to press on TO the destina-
tion they set out for in southern Cali
! fornia; and even though they cut the
travel in two, as compared with the
Oregon emigrants who began the set
tlement of that region in 1867.
On Wednesday evening the Deseret
News had an editorial which. aside from
its assumed historical perspective, no
one would feel disposed to object to ;
and if it is understood that that is
merely a Jealous and enthusiastic back
ward view of some (the Mormon sect)
historically, there would still be no dis
position to debate. If. however, it is
insisted that the pseudo-historica state
ments contained therein are to be ac.
course, we must file a decided obiec-
ton, We do not wish to have those
who have settled in this region within
the past few years inoculated with the
idea that that sort Of thing is really 10
be accepted as fact. It is not the
real fact at all, but is merely the biased
and partisan representation of certain
events. regretablc in themselve~ but
inevitable by reason of the surroundings
al the time. And while we can all take
part with fervor IN seeing the old pio-
neers and their descendants rally to the
observance of this day and wish them
the utmost success in their programme
and exercises and in the perpetuatiou
OF sentiments appropriate TO Pioneer
day, we do this without accepting any
biased and partisan history. For his
tory we want the full facts, and not
anybody limited version OF the writ
ings or traditions of any sect, esne-
cially any sect which considers itself
abused and has it in for it's "perse-
cutors, - in framing up its narrative
SO, here is to Pioneer day and every
thing that properly belongs to it! And
we trust that everything will go OF
well, and that those who participate in
it will do so with whole heart and 10y
atty. and with the disposition TO charity
and to the, modification Of wrong iudg-
ments heretofore studiously inculcated
and impressed upon a crcdulous people,
who knew no better than to accept what
was told them, without Investigation
and in innocence as to the truth of the
matter

A DOOMED UsURPATION.

The exceedingly low and vulgar view
which Smoot takes of the fight to
obtain freedom for Utah from priest
ly dictation is manifested ia his stigma
tiZlng of this effort as quarrel. -
There is no quarrel - in It, The CON
tention is one of vital principle. closely
akin TO that which caused the American
Colonies to revolt against the tyranny
of Great Britain. The chief difference
is that the alien and despotic govern
ment set up here in the midst of us
is local, Immediate, stringent, harass-
ing, villainous, whereas the British op.
preston was distant, irritating. and
personal in the hands of a stupid king
who was not long backed in it by his
Immediate subjects. This despotic ty-
rannous government here is in the hands
of an adulterous priesthood which de-
fes law and deceDcy, and is guilty even
OF the shocking impiety of openly pro-
claiming that ii disregards the law of
God. from whom alone it can possibly
claim any right, spiritual, temporal, or
Of any other sort, to exist. Rejecting all
foundation upon which religion rests
or can rest, this adulterous priesthood
has cut the ground out from under its
feet and itself without the least ex.
cuse TO claim any foundation of au-
thority, reason, common sense, revela.
ton, inspiration, or even common de
cency. when it defes the law and re-
iects God as guide.
The American citizens of Utah revolt
against having the public affairs in
this State in the hands Of this lawless,
fanatics, who stop at nothing in car
rying out their willful and nefarious
purposes, and are secure i'll the feeling
that they can intimidate or control the
civil authorities, override the courts,
dictate to luries, and be, IN fact, a law
unto themselves. regardless of statute,
of divine command. of the sentiments
of modern, enlightened civilization.
To say that opposition TO this sort
Of rule and TO the autocracy Of an adul-
ferrous and reasonable priesthood is
merely "quarrel' shows a calIous-
ness Of mind, n curious recklessness
and ignorance in the use of words, and
an insensibility TO the appreciation of
higher politics and patriotic motives
that would be appalling in anyone
other than a hircling of this adulter
Gus priesthood or in member of that
priesthood itself
The dignity of this contention here
lifts it high above any such vcrbiage
as this. There is no "quarreI' here
1t is a contention for vital principles,
for the liberty and freedom of every
citizen uncontrolled by pricstcraft and
wholly free IN political and civil af-
fairs. The contention striven for BIZ
the American party here for individual
| liberty, entirely free from priestly die
tation, counsel, whisperings, or any
| form of interference, is sure TO win in
the long run. 1t has won everywhere
else in America, and it will win in Utah.
| Let there be no mistake about this.
The adulterous and lecherous priest
hood is fighting a losing fight; it sees
its doom. and recognizes that it's power
is OIL the wane. Its efforts TO hold
that there is a mere "quarrcl' here
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1907-07-12

shows that it is conscious of defeat
and recognizes the fact that in tho light
of American civilization and in the
face of American sentiment and Amer
lean institutions it will be forced to
give way. Ard that is what hurts the
lecherous, adulterous, reasonable au.
tocracy of priestcraft that has hereto
fore ruled in Utah. And that is what
makes the Americans here rejoice and
feel exceeding glad.
