| them In their claim that they have a
rightful theocrstic government here
which must not be interfered with. We
must break up the alliance between
these corrupt and vicious law breakers
and the corrupt and incompetent off
! Gals which they put in office as their
| tools and agents. The State is natural
~ suffering 10 an enormous extent from
the bad repute that these criminals
and their Iawless, indecent doings bring
upon 1t. But we look forward to the
day when such anomalous conditions,
FOR which there is no possible excuse,
shall cease, and the State make rapid
progress under the united efforts of all
the citizens. no matter what may be
their creed. With the downfall of the
avaricious, brutal theocracy which is
now in control here, this consummstion,
so dcvoutly to he wished, cannot long

far in advance of every other common
wealth in the mountain country We
hope TO see the day when the hearts
and homes Of Utah, open to all. will
be free law abiding hearts and mono
gamic homes, owing their highest civil
allegiance TO the government of their
country. free from molestation or criti-
cism by any of their neighbors. When
that comes to pass, there will be no
question about anyone of good charac'
ter and lawful fitness having seat
in any Office, or exercising any civil
functions whatever in the country's
interest In the council chambers of the
Nation, of the State, of the county or
of the city. 4 free people where every
one counts as a citizen, acting upon
civil affairs upon his own Judgment,
without the least trammel of priest
craft or obligation to obey counsel, is
the ideal aspiration for Utah, as ii eX-
lists in fact in other States. The day
when this desirable condition shall ex"
list here will be a welcome one fol

HOW THE RULING IS DONE.

Whenever the leaders of the Mormon
church are confronted with the asser-
ton that their people are subjected to
their undisputed rule, they invariably
make reference TO their authoritative
works to show that such is not the case
However, there is great deal of diff
ference between written theory and act.
ual practice. as may be admitted by
all. But, with view to giving this
matter some consideration, The Trib-
une will first present few of the
church utterauces, as follows;
And all things shall be done by common
consent In the church.-Doctrine and Cow
enants.
Government by consent Of the governed
Is the rule Of the church,-Apri Mani
festo.
I should like to say to the honorable
mon church are among the freest and
most Independent people OF all the Chris
tLan denominations.-Tes estimony OF Joseph
Y. Smith at Washington.
We will suppose that the president
Of the church desires the adoption, by
the body of the church, of a certain
rule which shall govern the conduct of
members, The measure is formulated
by him and is presented to the general
conference, for its approval or disap-
pyoval. Probably ten thousand people
would be present in the tabernacle
when the sule WAS presented, Sup
pose that the proposed measure be oh.
jectionable. The attendants upon the
conference believe the president of the
church to be prophet, seer. and reve-
lator Of the Almighty, holding the
highest authority from heaven to man;
one whose word is as that 'of the Lord,
In whose name he is authorized to
speak; the lawriver to ISRAEL OF a

UTAH'S JUST ASPIRATION

The Dcseret News last night in a sort
field pours it out over "reminiscences
and fulsome gush, and takes occasion TO
give the following back handed slap
at some people not TO its liking.
We need, first Of all. the influence OF
every good citizen TO ailay the prejudices
that have come into existence by the
constant agitation OF disappointed office
seekers and their friends, We have the
misfortune in this state OF NARROWING Il
set OF citizens who, without blush Of
modesty on their faces, set up the claim
thus placing the brand OF UNI American

suspicion OF being I'M league with corrupt
officials. The State is. naturally suffer

rapid progress. under the united efforts
of all its citizens. no matter what may
be their creed.
In the meantime We welcome all 10
Utah who come 10 leaTn nf our needs and
aspirations. Hearts and homes are open
70 all. and especially 70 those whose duty
IN the council chambers OF the Nation.
Which, it must be admitted. IS en-.
tirsly inappropriate to the occasion and
deeply censursble in the matter Of
taste. For, the reception of a public
official is no occasion for the unswath-

is not worth while 10 allow the News

GETTING DEEPER AND DEEPER.

And as to cxemplars, the Deseret
News OF Monday night quoted one of
the Mormon variety, as follows;
I acknowledge that received request
from President Joseph F. Smith. by let

fore that body; and I still hold the same
views upon that matter.
The organ Of the Mormon lord pre-
sents this as being a letter from John
w Taylor, one of the deposed apostles
of the Mormon church, who awoke one
fine morning to discover that his spos.
toIc robes had been torn from his
sacred back in order to preserve the
Smoot Senatorial head. And the News
quotes ii with JUNCTION of mighty depth
probably because of the extreme
pungency OF the little paragraph. To
the consistency and the exalted moral
tone Of the communication The Tribune
will pay brief attention. as we'll as to
the sly TAYLOR humor. which delicatelv
hints to the prophet that the truth is
not in him.
First, it must be understood that here
was prophet, seer, and revelator,

earth-whose family relations were

plain like wormy jackrabbit when it
was suggested that he speak OF them

FAwN1Ne OF THE sYooPHANTs.

The visit of Secretary Garfield to
Utah under the auspices with which he
has been surrounded can do very little
good in any way. Certainly it cannot
! help Utah; neither can it be very in
structive to him. When he is told, as
he was told Yesterday morning. through
tho Smoot 4" mouth, - that the land laws
arc all right as they are, that all a
man has To do in this country is to go
out and take up homestead and live
| on il and make himself comfortable
and contcnted. having Just the same
chance here that the early settlers had
in the settlement of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi valleys, what can be expected
in the way of information from the
visit where such feeble nonsense is Of
fered hlml How is il possible for
anyone who has the least knowledge
of affairs in this Western country TO
imagine that man can take his family
out on the desert plains here, take up
n homestead in the oldfashioned way,
and 90 10 work and make himself a
home? The thing is so utterly absurd
that none but an idiot would support
it.
What VIC insist upon is that there IS
need of thorough overhauling of the
land laws in every respect, If the Gov
ernment wishes TO retain its coal lands,
it should withdraw them from entry
by law. An arbitrary proclamation
from the executive Is not sufficient to
settle the land policy of the Govern
ment with respect to coal timber, for
est reserves or anything of the kind,
All these matters should be governed
by law. as now they are not; but by
whim, by order, by word of mouth
through "personal representatives,
With respect to the arid lands suscep-
tible of reclamation, there should he
general legislation much more compre-
hensive in detail than al present, This
legislation should deal with the water,
as well as with the land At present
there are two separate Jurisdictions as
TO thls matter; the water is under con"
troll of the State and the public lands
are under control Of the Nation. Con.
gress has waited far too long to take
up this question. 1t should have been
dealt with decades ago. AS a rule,
land in the arid regions is not of any
particular value Except as TO coal or
mineral lands and in some places tim
Der lands) without the water. The
joinder of the water with the land is
what is required. and general provisions
of the law whereby large tracts can
be taken up by colonies or corporations;
but preferably by colonies or commu-
mites in which all will work on the
cooperative plan. so far as the water
supply is concerned.
Unless Secretary Garfield visit TO
the arid region will imparr TO him
something different from the foolish
and sycophantic protestation that ev-
erything is all right as it stands, that
the President is doing the very best
thing possible, that the laws arc eX-
actly right, that no change anywhere !
