Ms. Parsons, the anarchists, describe
the same biblical incident when ridicul-
Ing Christianity and the Bible. The
Tribune may suppose that such LAM
guage as this revlles Mornonism
alone, IN that II Is mistaken. X Is an
attack on all religion. 1t Is an out
rage on the sacred beliefs OF the vast
majority Of the American people. This
Is just how the Bible is handled In the
slums of all the large cities by the
Communists OF Paris, by the red SO
clallsts of Berlin. by the anarchists OF
Chicago, and by Gas | SEQ now al
legged Christians OF Salt Lake City.
Being n stranger in this city and
having attended yesterdays services
ia the Tabernacle, | cannot help re-
pudiatlng as a Christian, such foul
and vlllainous presentations OF the
most important sncraments OF the
Bible.
Heaven help the countrv which de-
Ponds on such source for patriotism
and publication, for sanctifcation and
evangeli2ation That's what | say"
This outrageous violation OF the re-
ligious sentiment is an internal part
Of the record OF the Tribune,
We should not forget to add to 1t the
fact that tho sheet has actually advo-
Gated RIGHTEOUSNESS as an directive
Mormon" agency. Under date
OF March G. 1881. the Tribune reported
a gentleman" as having said that he
rejoiced to see the youth of the Nor
mon" community visiting saloons
gambling dens, and houses of ill-fame.
The Tribune's editorial comment on
this infamous proposition was: II
freedom can be gained without excess
es. so much the better; but If not gain
the freedom never mind the excuses"
That is the record. But why turn
the solled leaves over any longer? 1t
is well, however. to consider the moral
caliber of sheet that claims to stand
for purity and patriotism, but which
has done more than any other agency
to establish filth and rottenness in this
City, as we'll as to retard the growth
OF Utah and TO injure the business In
terests of the state, all because It
found that It could make money by
an anu-"Mormon" agitation.

no reason for any opposition to the

IN THE AIR.
New York Evening Post.

The airship. like the automobile, Is
bound to arouse exaggerated hopes for
long time to come. Thus an eminent
German military critic protests against
the utopinn jingoes who are beginning
to call for fleets of dirigible war ball
looms as the most suitable means for
conquering Britain's girdle of invinci-
BILE insnlarity, ovsrrunning France. es-
tabllshing a world dominion, etc. This
critic points out that the war balloon
Is still In Its experimental stage; that
IL rises with difficulty and lands with
still greater difficulty. and that at tho
height OF mile and a half 1t can be
assailed with gun-flre from the ground.
Nevertheless, Germany rejoices at the
fact that she has wrested from France
the advantage In "air-power' which
the latter country he. held for a num-
Der OF years. Even the military statis-
tician who figures you out the fate of
battles In advance by balancing knot
speed against knot-speed and weight
of broadsides against each other, has
turned his attention to the new field.
He has discovered that. inasmuch as
the French war-balloon La Patrie was
w In the air for three hours, while
the German ship noated for three
hours and quarter, Germany has a
preponderant strength Of thirteen as
against twelve.

THAT SUPPOSED DISCOVERY.

An antf-"Mormon" organ of this city
a few DAYS since announced a sup
posed discovery 1t had made. 1t was
that the Church by buying goods made
in other States Is engaging In inter-
state commerce. From this false prem
lse the paper proceeded to argue that
Congress or the federal power should
at the conflscation of Church property,
or something of that nature. We ex-
posed the error OF our contemporary by
showing that. according to the court
decisions, II Is necessary TO be COM
mon carrier of freight or passengers in
order to come within the legal meaning
of engaging in interstate commerce.
The organ. however, processes not to
be satisfied with this demonstration.
II now argues that interstate" means
anything that concerns or extends into
more than one State And this Is true
in a general sense. but not In the
sense Of the legal phrase of "engag-
ing In interstate commerce"
No one would claim that the word
Interstate" does not have this general
meaning but the question was simply
whether the Church officers should BIO
hailed into court not only for supposed
~ engaging in interstate commerce, hut
for violating the law IN so doing. We
showed that the Church neither engag-
es in Interstate commerce nor that
II breaks any OF the laws of the land.
The organ still maintains, however,
that It merely stated the facts in
claiming that the Church should be
regulated" in some way for engaging
in Interstate commerce. Thus, 1t says:
III the News is to be 80 particular
as 10 the meaning Of the word inter-
state It should deny that It holds an
Interstate conference here every six
months. To be consistent II should
say that when the Welsh people hold
an eisteddfod, II is not an Interstate
musical competitions"
And so. Conference OF the Church
or Welsh eisteddfod Is a violation OF
the law against rebating, is IT? For
observe that this is the question at is
sue. The question Is, not the meaning
Of Interstate" alone; but OF Inter
state commerce" and that too In the
sense in which the law uses the term
in regulating" the acts OF railroads
and other common carriers. Thus the
Interstate commerce law, as passed In
1887 and amended in 1889. and the rate
law OF 1906 together provide that in
the case Of corporation acting as a
common carrier. any director or officer;
or any receiver, trustee, lessee. agent
or person permitting an unlawful dis
elimination In passenger or freight
rates ION conviction thereof shall be
punished by a hno not exceeding
$1,000" ana IN addition 10 the fine, "be

tiary for term not exceeding two
years or both such flno and lmprlson-
ment In tho discretion Of the court"

DIVORCES INCREASING.

According to recent statistics on d.
vorces for the period lsS7-lSo7, the
number of dissolutions OF marriages has
been increasing more rapidly than the
population. Between the years 1867 and
1887, s2s, 716 divorces were granted In
the United States. During the follow
ing period of 20 years the total number
granted was 100000.
Various suggestions have been made
to account for this fearful increase In
the disruption of family ties. Growing
Irfldelity on the part OF both men and
women Is one of them. But the facil-
ity with which separations can be OBJ
tanned is another. We have before us
a paper published in one of the larger
cities, in which attorneys advertise.
One says: Advice free--divorces
speciality. Quick. quiet; no charge un-
less successful" Another puts 1t this
way: advice free on all legal mat
ters. Divorce costs SIP; damages. col
lections. All cases no charge without
success" Here Is still another: "Dt-
vorce: cost sl2: quick. quiet; advice
free: no charge unless successful" and
still another: complete divorce for
s25; no delay: courteous treatment;
square dealing; please see NEE hrst.
And thus IT goes throughout the list
When divorces are advertised In the
same manner as patent medicine, or
after the manner Of the barker for
a sideshow in a circus, no wonder that
the business fourishes. 1t is safe TO
say that many would not think OF OBJ
tanning divorce but for the suggestion
of an advertisement that promises Sc
crecy and a small outlay.

BY THE RECORD.

The other day the local daily ex-
ponent OF anti Americanism expressed
desire to be judged by the record"
Very well.
In 1884, not to go any further back
TO begin with, that sheet published IN
der the caption. "A Red Hot Address"
what purported to be sermon deliv-
cred by one Bishop West in Juab.
This alleged address was an appeal to
the audience to assassinate non-"Mor-
mons" and especially the governor of
the Territory. According to the re-
port In the Tribune, the speaker told
the people that il was their duty to
seize him and tread him down until
his bowels gushed out on the streets.
The paper mentioned explained that
the so-called report was forwarded by
a friend and that It was verbatim"
That II was prepared IN the Tribune
office has never been satisfactorily dis
proved. II never viii be. Ii was
proved, however. that on the day IL
was alleged to have been delivered at
Juab, no meeting was held there. ana
that there never had been Bishop
West nj that place. But the Tribune
instead Of apologizing for decelying
its readers and selling them such rot
under the label OF news asserted that
the bogus address was true in spirit If
not In fact,
1t was proved that the vile literary
connection was literally circulated in
Tennessee as well as IN other parts or
the country by sectarian preachers
ana that II was "A determining cause
OF the assassination that Is known in
Church history az the Tennessee mass
acre. The blood of the victims Of that
tragedy stil stain the record Of the
Salt Lake Tribune.
In 1890 the Salt Lake Times. also
an anu-"Momon' paper, felt SO dis
gusted with the journalistic outrages
of the Tribune, that il took occasion to
administer the following deserved re-
buke:
we are heartily ashamed Of "A species
OF Journalism not TO be found outside
of Salt Lake city, that reyels IN the
most Infamous, outrageous and blas-
phemous travesty M It's reports Of
certain religious worship. we are
ashamed OF species OF journalism
that ignores the difference between a
devotional service 10 God and q pa
litioal mass meeting We are
ashamed OF II because !t Is calculated
10 advertise us broadcast as horde
of barbarians without sense Of honor,
decency or reverence
That was the sentiment of the decent
nom "Mormons" when the article was
penned from which these lines are
taken. Il is the sentiment OF decent
non-"Mormons' now.
A stranger, referring to the same
subject expressed his indignation in a
letter which appeared In the Deseret
News OF December 20, 1890:
THE report [meanlng a Tribune re-
port OF the Tabernacle seryieesl fur
lher says; He told the story OF Adam
and the apple, and how Eve and The

BRAWL IN CAFE
May Have Been Responsible For the Death of A Franklin
 Street Man.

Did Philias Rainville, who died yes terday at his home, 2s Franklin street. come to death as the result of q brawl in cafe on South Main street? That is question which Medical Examiner Crane will try to decide. Rainville las been i'll at his home for the past two weeks, and it was given out that he died from pneumonia. But it is a question whether Rainville was not badly hurt in a fight which occurred in a cafe on South Main street about two weeks ago.
 The deceased was bartender at the place and it appears that one night, two men got into a fight and during the mix-up, so the story goes, Rainville endeavored to separate the combatants and it is said that two or his ribs were broken and that he was injured internally. No report of the matter was made to the police, and Medical Examiner Crane heard noth- ing of the case until to-day The story was given to him substantially as above. This afternoon he said he had not as yet investigated the mat ter, but would do so perhaps before the day was over.

Pair of Truck Horses Were Stopped

Frank Stapleton, who keeps a sa- loon on North Main street, had two of the queerest customers to-day he has had while in business, two or Ralph N. Blakeslee's horses. It was supposed that it was only a fit or temporary alteration that caused the horses to break away from the water wagon, which in this case was a load of iron pipe. The. animals are un- usually large and they were pulling their load with the worthy deter imitation of good, sober horses, when something gave way and they made a plunge for Stapleton's barroom. AS the front wheels struck the curb the harness broke and the horses were all but inside the door when the driver pulled on the lines and held them back. Had they gone an- other foot forward the entrance would have been in fiinters, for it was not wide enough to admit two large drought horses. No damage was done further than the broken harness and wagon.

GUNNERS INJURED
One of the Eight Inch Guns on the Georgia Burst While Men
 We're al Practice.

Boston, July 15.-Seyenreen men are reported injured by the bursting of an eight-inch gun in one of the superim- posed turrets of the battleship Geor- gia during the target practice off Provincetown to-day. The details are not known and the information was received through the wireless. The Georgia is expected to reach here late to-day.
 A wireless telegram to the New York navy department says that Lieu tenant Goodrich and Midshipmen Cruse and Goldthwaite were badly in- jured, Cruse seriously. None are yet dead. The Georgia will go to Boston to dock and remove the injured to hos pitals. Lieutenant Casper Goodrich was born in Italy and was appointed into the navy from Connecticut. He is son of Rear Admiral Goodrich oi the New York navy yard. Midship- man Faulkner Goldthwaite was also appointed from Connecticut in 1903.
