INSCRIPTIONS FOE SOL.

We note that the church crowd are
still pushing Sol kimball TO the front.
They have paid for the printing and
circulating Of u circular from him, IN
support of the pipe dream Of his which
be got the church organ to print on
its first page, under heavy headlines.
That stuff was at once put out OF
serious consideration by the public
laughter ana contempt. Yet In this
new statement from Sol (Which IL
appears even the church organ con
sidered too raw to print), Sol affects
TO think that his silly rubbish first
put forth has had great effect; and
he gravely appears TO think that some
have accepted it as true. In this, Sol
is badly off his base; for nobody be
lieves word of his trash. Even those
who put il out know it to be wholly
false, and so transparently silly as TO
deceive none.
And vet the church politicians,
knowing well the righteousness of the
Kimball stuff. have the unscrupulous
insoleuce TO pay for getting 1t printed
in circular form and circulating IL
among the people. in the hope that it
may deceive some unwary person.
Well knowing for themselves It's fall
sity, It's utter nonsense, they yet use
it, playing upon the ignorance or want
of caution of their neighbors. They
thus put themselves on tho level of
confidence men, aud in . the class OF
those who send out bogus "green
goods" Ard all in the name of "the
Lord!'
What scaudalous tra~esty it all isl
And if the upshot of this vile, shame
less trickery shall be to bring the
church itself into the contempt of all
honest minds, none but the present
church gang, working dishonesty and
unscrupulously in politics, Will be to
blame

ALWAYS CAUSES TROUBLE.

Students of Mormon history are per
fectly cognizant of the fact that every
trouble that has come to that organi-
cation had its origin in political inter
ference, political scheming, political
dishonesty, political domination and
polygamy.
Surely the leaders of the church are
as well versed in the history OF their
own organization as are outsiders. That
being true, can they not see that they
arc plunging their people once more
into bitter strife against the great
mass of Americans who compose the
majority of the Nation S citizenship?
Is Joseph i. Smith of such vicious
mould that he will purposely bring
distress and woe upon his own follow.
ing' is Reed Smoot SO lost TO the well
fare Of his brethren aud sisters, and
so puifed up in the pride of his own
ambition, that he will persistently lend
himself TO the Smith purpose to bring
Mormonism and the Mormon people
into contempt before all the world!
One whose position in life peculiarly
fits him TO study actual conditions AS
they exist IN Utah, and to feel the pulse
of the people, declares that the rank
and file Of the Mormon church have
come to realization Of the truth in
advance of their leaders. The honest
Mormon people are going TO repudiate
the men who appear to be fixed in a
determination to bring trouble upon the
church and to renew the old heartaches
and the old agonies from which they
suffered throughout the years. He
says that the Mormon following have
concluded that the day has passed when
they can be dragged before their
chief priests TO take into their own

for the benefit of the church leaders
themselves. No one else has In the
least brought the Mormon masses into
the question.
But it is no anti Mormon crusade TO
bring TO the light of public knowledge
the scandalous testimony, the lies, and
the scandalous acts. the depraVed
lives. OF those Mormon leaders.
There is nothing bitter In that, But,
ON the other hand. with what bitter
ness, what venom. what reckless and
unscrupulous audacity, the Deseret News
attacks the Christian ministry OF the
country and every one that opposes the
church programme, In the bond cleo
tion campaign of last July, what un,
measured abuse, bitter calumny, and
scandalous falsehoods the Deserct News
printed about the City Council, the city
administration, and those who favored
the bonds To sec in the Descret News
an outcry against bitterness i'll the
treatment of public affairs is precisely
of the same nature as Satan rcbuking
sin. Because, never at an" time, or
any occasion, in any place, has there
ever been an organ 50 much addicted
10 abuse, TO falsehood, to bitter per
sonahties, and scandalous, uuscrupulous
charges against those who onnose It,
as are hsbitually found in the columns
OF the Dcserct News.

to uphold the law OF the land In all
things. Smith deGes this law; but
Smoot, the Senator, hasn t the courage
TO resent the defiance.
As an apostle of The Mormon church,
it is Reed Smoot 5 business TO advise
against breach OF church rule, and 10
punish disobedience to church law,
Smith has Haunted in the face of the
Nation, the State and the church hls
violation of what he aud Smoot pretend
TO he divine commandments. But
Smoot, the apostle. is too cowardly to
stand mp for his God or his people.
Yet this defender of crime against
the State and sin against the church
has not only been hoNored with great
gift OF position from each of these
bodies, but IL il now proposed by the
shielded lawbreakers to perpetuate him

in assessments whereby certain ia.
vorites have their property assessed at
low figures and those who are fighting
the ring are penalized by heavy assess
ments, are things that should be in
quirod into and the light turned upon
them. The gratis in the commissioners
accounts, the stealings in the lnlirmary
the job whereby a pretensc was made
that new site was needed for the in
Urinary and some $4,000 paid out for
that site uselessly. all being simply a
iohbing land graft, are things that the
public is entitled 10 know all about.
Tho American candidates, when they
are elected and get into office, intend
to inquire into all these things and TO
ing on. But that is precisely what tho
church~ring gang fear the most. They
know that some Of their number arc due
TO 60 to the penitentiary, and they fear
that by the disclosure of the stealings
and jobs in the county business num-
Der of them will land in Jail. This ac-
counts for the desperate nature of the
conflict they are making this year 20
retain control of this county, But the
very reason why they are making this
last ditch effort, this strenuous fight TO
cover up their rascalities, is precisely
why the public should vote the Ameri-
can ticket. and thereby insure the turn
ing on of the light Oh all these transac-
tions. Let us find out what has been
going On in stealipgs, in graft. in mis-
and i'll personal and po-
liticsl jobs. The people can never know
ii tho church ticket is elected. The
people are sure 10 know if the American
ticket is elected. And the people are
surely entitled to know all that is going
on in their public affairs. Therefore, it
is their duty and TO their interest TO
support the American ticket and turn
the light upon this nest of depraved
who have for so many years
been robbing the people and defying

THE ORGAN OF BITTERNESS.

II is something to have the Deseret
News utter loud and wailful squcal
about bitterness in what 1t calls 90 the
anti. Mormon crusade" Of course,
there has been no anti Mormon crusade,
and there has been no bitterness, even
in attacking the law-defying. robbing
leaders of the Mormon church. There
has been simply an appeal to the rec
ords, disclosure of facts, quoting
of sworn testimony as officially re-
corded. That is all.
No American has at any timo made
any attack upon the Mormon church OF
people, There has been, to be sure,
criticism of the Mormon leaders, be
cause OF their piedge-breaking, their
lawlessness, their forfeiture of their
word of honor, their criminal lives, and
their robbery Of the people. This has
been set forth plainly, fairly, and cum
didly. The reply has been not that
what the things quoted were untrue,
because there is no denial possible; the
officially reported, and mostly from the
declarations and sworn statements of
these criminal prophets, seers and
revelatorsn themselves; but the answer
has been to throw the Mormon people
in as buffer to protect their faith
less leaders.
The only way in which the Mormon
people, as q mass, have been drawn into
this matter at all is where they have
been drawn into it by their oppressors,
who wish to iuterpose the Mormon peo~
pie between themselves and the criti-
cism directed against their lawlessness,
only so that their criminal lives and
their robberies might be concealed as
much as possible, especially from their
own people,
1t being true, then, that there has
been no dragging in of the Mormon
masses. except as the leaders themselves
have drawn the Mormon masses in for
the protection of those leaders, what
an impudent travesty it is upon
language and upon fact TO claim that
there has been an anti-Mormou cru
sade.' Ii there has been auy anti
Mormon crusade, it is plain from the
facts of the case that that crusade
has been directed by and is engaged in

THE SPRY AND BREEDEN CASE.

1t was inevitab BILE that the outrageous
attempt of Spry and Breeden TO in
fuence Judge Howell politically IN
ruling of his court should come up in
this campaign. This is the first time
since the occurrence that any election
has come on where the consideration
of that outrage would be at all ap'
propriate. The matter was disclosed IN
The Tribune August >. 1906. where At
torney-Geueral Breeder made confes-
sion that he and Marshal Spry at
tempted to influence Judge Howell
from u partisan standpoint as to his
decision on q motion then pending
in his court in the suit against
Chambers, a member of tho city council
Of Ogden. Marshal Spry and At
torney. General Breeden, 1t appears,
went to Ogden and !abored with Judge
Howell TO decide that motion III q way
that would be TO the advantage Of the
Republican party. That was openly
and avowedly their erraud, and openly
and avowedly they placed their per
suasion for the Judge to make his
'u'liE Ou NnC pa! IlS-Au bo9i9 iNi'iiNN
to; that If he decided in Que way on
that ruling the Republican party would
be injured. whereas If nc decided an
other way there would be no injury 10
the party.
There was not the least concealment
at that time. either of the visit, of thc
motive for the visit, or Of the argu.
ment presented to Judge Howell as the
reason why he should decide the mo-
ton pending before him on partisan
lines. 1t was frankly confessed by
Attorney-General Breeder, aud Judge
Howell made public statement 10 the
same effect.
And now Judge Howell is up for re-
election. He confessed that he allowed
these persons to approach him with
the political argument referred to as to
what he should do on motion then
pending in his court At the time Judge
Howell intimated very strongly that
he would cite these gentlemen for
contempt because of their preseuta-
tion of the partisan view Of the case TO
him in the consideration of that mo-
ton. Judge Howell never did cite them
for contempt. And now the question
is, why?
1t has been claimed in behalf of
Marshal opry aud Attorney General
Breeder that Judge Howell sent for
them and asked their opinion as TO
how he should decide that motion. We
have never believed that to be true.
And yet ii ii is not true, it is hard to
account for the fact that Judge Howell
neglected 10 cite them for contempt.
But II ii is lTuc, which heretofore wo
have refused 10 believe, then Judge
Howell himself is the man who is in
contempt of the public, of the dignity
of mis- court, ard of himself as Judge.
II is scandalous case az it stands,
and certainly something should be done
to put it on Il proper basis. Judge
Howell has refused to vlndicate him
self by the proper procedure, and now
it would seem the right thing for the
people TO vindicate his court oy ousting
him from it, and putting on the bench
q man who has proper idea of the
rights, tho dignity, and the judicial re-
quircments that ought TO be present
on that bench.
