The government of this complicated country has many complicated ques- tions to deal with. For instance, the Postoffice department is desirous of taking into its service, temporarily at least, the enlisted nan who carried the mail between Fort Slocum, New York, and the postoffice at New Rochelle, It is considered that he should be part of the postal personnel to the extent of subscribing to the oath which all em- ployes of the postal service are requir- ed to take. The question came up whether this soldier mail carrier could take this additional oath with what ever obligations he had assumed as an enlisted man of the army. The War department has informed the Postmas- ter-General that there is no legal ob- jection to this soldier, who carries the mail, taking the oath required by law to be administered to employees of the postal service. This information has been imparted to the postmaster at New Rochelle.

THE BRETHREN CONTEND.

The Deseret News complains that The
Tribune "seized upon Peace dav as q
proper occasion for stirring up preiu.
dlces and keeping the flames Of hatred
burning, But the church organ was
not comprehensive; neither was it defin-
lte. only as TO the day. What The
Tribune found fault with, the News does
not dare to state TO its readers, for fear
that they would get at the truth in the
matter and learn the exact nature of
the farce, as this paper has pointed it
out,
One of the principal speakers al that
peace meeting was Apostle John Henry
Smith, and he made specially of a
plea for religious tolerance, Just a
week after that plea was made, Apos~
Ties Lyman and Richards nullifed it
by declaring IN the tabernacle that the
Mormon religion was the only faith
worthy of mankind s consideration; in
ferring that all others were of fraud
ulent nature, by saying that the Nor.
mon church possessed the only true au-
thenticity. The utterances of these
men were practically in the nature of
notice to the saints that they were not
to tolerate any other religion. That
may be readily surmised from the rca.
sonIng that if one possess that which
is absolutely true. one will not tolerate
anything, as against it, which is uu.
true, or less true, So, what becomes of
the special plea of Apostle John Henry
smith, The Tribune pointed out AT the
time that it was a mere sophistry: that
II was IN the nature Of a sop to Gen
tiles in order that the hierarchs might
be let alone in their law breaking.
But the News itself has shown the
utter absurdity and canting hypocrisy
OF the hierarchica peace bluff. Know
ing that Mr.. Smith had proclaimed the
desire of the church for religious tol.
erance, the News has followed right in
the Lyman and Richards track, with
a declaration which sets all tolerance
aside. ~ the same time, too, the
church organ has ouidone, in Just two
sentences, the Smith plea and the Ly.
man Richards notification, all put TO-
gether. These are the words of the
News, as printed in an editorial in its
issue of the fourth day Of this present
month:

anr respect: II they hold erroneous

THE COAST SHINES CHIEF.

The record of bank clearances
throughout the country thus far the
present year shows that the West Noun
tain and Const region comprises the
most prosperous portion of the country.
We print on our financial page this
morning, Dun S report of the bank
elearances for May, which shows the
fact stated, The Eastern section OF the
country is pulled down below the aver
age by the 1866 per cent decrease in
New York City, compared with May of
last year In fact, this New York de-
crease, operating on the tremendous
volume of the clcarances of that city,
carries the general average of all to 6.5
per cent below the clearances of May,
1906, in spite of the magnificent gain
of III per cent in the West Mountain
and Coast region.
To be sure, this great gam in this
Western region named is largely swelled
by the tremendous gain Of 2599 per cent
in San Francisco this gain showing the
recuperative power OF that city since the
mighty disaster of a year and over ago.
But the San Francisco clearanccs of
May, 1907, besides showing the tremen-
dous gain specified, over the clearances
of May, 1906, show gain of 2S.4 per
cent over the clearances of May, 1905,
which is even moro remarkable.
Every city in the division of the
country indicated, shows u substantial
gain, that of this city being 23.l per
cent, which is greater than that Of
three cities in this division and less
than four. AS the bank clcarances are
an accurate and fair measure of the
general business transactions, it ap-
pears that the Pacific slope is The most
active and prosperous part of the coun-
try i'll its Industries and trade

THE DEMAND FOR A POUND.

The demand is for sixteen ounces to
the pound, when a pound Is paid for. as
well as an assurance that the represen-
tations made are not false. The Nation
Is rising and throwing off the rags OF
fraud and deception under which ayarce
and thirst for power have sought to
cover 1t.
Progress is slow but sure. That is
from the Deseret News, whose whole
existence has been devoted to the incul-
cation of fraud and deceit, and whose
and thirst for power which has had
no other thought than to clothe itself
in the aforesaid rags in order to
achieve its swindling ends.
The Mormon people pay for pound
of prophecy every year-and they get
none at all. The Saints produce the
price for sixteen ounces of revelation
annually-and they get not smell. The
faithful Of Israel donate for full weight
charity every twelve months-and they
are shown the door. Mormons pay, pay,
pay-and get absolutely nothing in re-
turn, except the insane mouthings of
the most gigantic fraud that the world
ever produced.
But still there is note of encourage.
ment in the remarks of the church or
gan. The News knows that the spuri.
GUS prophet of the Mormon church col
lects TWO millions Of dollars annually.
without a cent Of investment, and that
he makes no accounting to any man on
earth for the moneys thus gathers to
himself. The organ of the Mormon lord
ii, C., Joseph F, Smith, is aware that
the custodian of the 1.-THE funds is the
most crazily-irres sponsible being living
on the top of God s footstool at this
very moment. So, In view of the ut
terance of the News, the Saints NAV
expect that it will not be very long ere
that delectable journal will come out
boldly in a demand upon the chief DO
lygamist and tithe-grafter for a full and
true accounting in this matter of tithes.
However, in explanation, The Tribune
will add-''bu not yet"

VAPoRING WON'T COUNT.

Elder Roberts is put forward ,oday
TO answer the review made bv the
Ministerial Association of this city of
the April conference declaration. He
is thus selected, no doubt, so that If he
says anything that won Il wear, it can
be the more easily repudiated bv g the
authorities. Roberts is minor
hlerarch, and a serviceable tool, most
biddable person, who would eat his own
words at the command of his superiors
as eagerly as hungry dog would eat
biscuit. And nobody, himself least Of
all, Will be bound by what he saws,
whenever it is convenient to repudi-
ate il.

THE DEATH OF MR. HANSEN.

John +. Hansen, city editor of the
News, who died in this city on Friday
evening, will be missed among the news
paper men of this city. Always cour-
teous, genial, kind, and appreciative,
he was pleasant companion and
friend; aud he WIS n good newspaper
man. He knew what news is, and
was able to get 1T, and in his calling
he always left a favorable impression,
so that he was ever welcome. AS a
public official he was Jealous. active,
honest, efficient, acting up to his best
lights.
The Tribune joins sincerely in a
tribute of respect TO his qualities and to
his memory, He was good man, and
his death is TO be deplorcd. Though
the sympathies and commiseratlon of
all who knew the deceased are rendered,
in uDstinted measure, it can not be
expected that they will do much TO
assuage the grief of the stricken family
Of which he was the head. But, all
Intellectual though they be, and as all
human effort necessarily is under cir
cumstances Of such extreme sorrow,
they go out to his afflicted ones without
reserve, and such consolation as this
may be, is richly offered.

good can be expected. The "Toymak-

This institution is one that deserves

can be no doubt of the desirability of

We hear 4 good deal from time to
time of yellow journalism. Occnsiop-

time. and yellow boosting of yellow
enterprises OF various sorts and degrees
But ii mas remained for these later
times to introduce new yellowism; in
yellow diplomacy and yellow readiness
of one nation TO jump in to The ''help"
of another when there is no need
Thus we read IN the dispatches yes
terday morning of the effort of France
TO mediate between the United States
and Japan over the assumed diplomatic
crisis that is alleged TO exist between
these two countries But when we
consider that there absolutely nothing
at issue between the two countries. and
that Japan is merely showing itself
ridiculous by making matters of mere
police routine or ordinary court pro-
cndure grave questions of diplomatic
concern, the yellowness Of the proposal
is Mt once apparent. The idea of Japan
molishing of a Japanese shop in San
Francisco where the courts arc open
for suits for damages and where, in
fact. damage suit has already begun,
is absurd
There is not bit of sense in Japan
affecting to consider that this country
has the same sort Of government that
Japan has, where the word Of a Mika
do is absolute in all tho little affairs
and difficulties Of local administration.
In Japan if the Mikado orders GER
tain thing done in any city. that thing
has to be done, because he orders it,
In the United States the President has
nothing TO do with city governments,
nor with the ordinary local affairs of
any community. The Japanese politi
clans know this, if they have informa-
ton enough TO be fit for their stations.
And knowing it, 1t is an impertinence
on their part to assume that this coun-
try has the same sort of government
as their own.
Japan, like all other nations of the
world, will have to take the United
States as it is, without any attempt
TO make over, TO change, modify or
Crush - our administrative perogatives
and functions. And under the circum
stances it would seem as if the French
diplomats who offer their mediation in
this trumped-up pretense of crisis
between Japan and the United States
are altogether too fresh. They might at
least refrain until there is some real
issue, and some intImation from one
side or the other that there is need of
help. If they would do that they
would undoubtedly find later on that
their services are not in the least re-
quircd. Yellow diplomacy of that sort
is more Of an otfense than any move
thus far made by Japan.
