WHAT IT STANDS FOR.

In a reply to the Tooele Transcript
the Tribune says: THE members of the
Mormon church are not IN the least
abused i'm salt Lake city. No one OPP
presses them; no one says u word
against them" As will be seen, TINT
sheet assumes the role OF hypocrite,
as slight variation from its usual
part,
The Tribune has done its utmost to
represent the "Mormons' as q treas
enable priest ridden organization. IL
has demanded the exclusion OF Senator
Smoot from the Senate, alleging that
his membership tn that organization
barred him. II has urged the Mayor to
Dust every Mormon" from office or
position in the public service, II mas
defended the conspiracy of the Dubois
crowd to disfranchise every Mormon
in Idaho. 1t has defamed the leaders OF
the Church from the Prophet Joseph
to the present incumbent of the office
OF President. II has defended the as
sassination of the Prophet and Patri-
arch. and kept the fires Of hatred ana
strife burning to the best of Its abil-
itv. The material damage it has done
the City Is great. For, through its
policy of defamation it has
caused hone-seekers to pass Us by
and capital TO seek other
places. And yet the sheet, like hypo-
critic. tells its readers that no one ever
said word against the "Mormons."
The entire crusade is against the Nor
mon" people, Its ultimate aim ls TO
deprive them of every right as citi-
2ens. except the right to sing hymns
and pay taxes. That is the essence OF
the anti" Mormonism" for which the
Tribune stands. II sees with pleasure
the money OF the "Mormons' at con
ference time turned into the usual
channels of trade. and in return for this
pleasure 1t gives vilification, SANDER
falsehood, Misrepresentation and ha-
tired.

THE MENACE IN ASIA.

According to a cable from NTukden to
the New York Times. the great powers
OF the world must come TO the rescue OF
China, or Manchuria VIII be cut off
from the empire and divided between
Russia and Japan. The author OF the
cablcgram claims that the two late
combatants have agreed TO support
each others demands upon the Pekin
government. SO that Russia shall be-
come established IN the north and Ja-
pan IN the south Of the province.
There is no doubt that Russia be-
fore the war intended TO wrest a great
part of Manchuia from China. Japan
objected because she wanted that part
herself And so war was declared. The
aggression OF Russia was checked. 1t
is not improbable that the two rivals
have finally agreed to take n slice each.

opposition to the building Of a railroad
to Faltumen, which would parallel her
Manchuran railway on the west, indi-
Gates her intention TO monopolIze rail-
way development and thus TO clint
nate trade competition. Japan also re-
fuses to abandon her control of the
posts and telegraphs and other local adj
mlnistrative functions, and thus re-
tains her grip on all the municipalities.
The Chinese are opposed to all these
measures of assimilation, but they are
inundated IN the presence of the huge
military forces of Russia and Japan.

toual action

and China is being menaced When the
time comes, this writer thinks, Japan
will turn her eyes toward the Philip
pines and Indo-China from which come
her food supplies; and on the valley OF
the Yapgtsze whence she obtains her
coal Japan's army and navy are being
augmented with remarkable rapidity.
Behind the creation of this great mill
tary establishment. he says, lies some
deliberate purpose. II the Panama ca

China, evidently, needs the support
of the Western world, until her own re-
sources and military strength are so
well developed that both Russia and
Japan will be glad to respect her in
tegrty and the existing treaties. When
China becomes world power, the stu
alton in Asia will be entirely different
from what 1t is now.

TWO PRESIDENTS.

The recent anniversary of the birth

or the head OF railroad corporation.
A comparison between the chief char
acteristics OF the occupants OF the two
positions is legitimate enough, but the
positions themselves should not be
represented as OF equal importance,
even by indirectlon. Still. the career
Of MIR. Hartman is wonderful.
Hartman is the third son Of an
Episcopal clergyman His early educa-
tonal facilities We're very limited.
While still youth he became "a clerk

Now that Il certain International mar
riage' Is making rapid progress toward

doubtless on the best authority, that
the question of religion Will present no
obstacles. Miss will embrace the
Shinto faith when the time comes" Is
the laconic announcement. II is not
really Shintoism she will embrace, but
that will serve to Illustrate the situa-
ton. For the point Is that il doesn't
matter much in these days what the
religion may be. The young woman
usually accepts 1t as logical part of
her wedding outfit. Within the con-
fines of Christendom the old religious
prejudices, so far as marriages are con-
cerned, have largely disappeared, and
it is very possible that the cause OF
Christian unity viii be notably ad-
vanced by the ease with which theol-
ogical and religious lnteritances are
being cast off in favor of something
equally good" and more convenient

WHEN BUSINESS is SLOW.

The value of newspaper advertising
In times of financial depression is
striSingly illustrated In statement
made by gentleman connected with
a New York business firm, MIR. AL
bert Oliver and published in the Manu-
facturers Record. Mr. Oliver says
that when the volume of general bust
ness commenced to fall off last year,
his house decided to increase their adj
vertising expenses, believing that In a
period of general inactivity engineers
and others would give more atten-
ton to the study of improved methods
as presented through the advertising
columns OF leading publications than
they had been able TO do on account
of the press OF business for the last
eight or ten years. I'VE have found
this true says Mr.. Oliver. He
claims that, as result OF judicious
advertising, though the general decrease
in business has been estimated at
80 per cent, his house is doing a larger
business than 1t had a year ago. This
is natural. The millions of people in
this country must live every day. They
consume something every day. and
something must be produced every day.
A great deal OF business is transac ted
every day. and those who go after 1t
persistently and intelllgently will get
the lions share of 1t. When the fire Is
low you put on more coal and Increase

the remedy when business is not so

COERCION or VENEZUELA

Those papers that are suggesting the
coercion of Venezuela in the interests
of the American asphalt company that
has been operating in that country,
know either more or less of the case
than we do.
One OF the things accepted as fact
about the former company, of which tho
present one is a successor, was that Il
contributed to a revolutionary move
ment directed against the present
Venezuelan government.
If that is correct. then the standing
of the present company, which takes
only the rights and privileges that be-
longed to the former one, must bs
very precarlous. Certainly war TO
enforce the rights of such company
against a sovereign state, is not at
all probable.
Certain claims of American cltizcns
against Venezuela have been pro-
nouneed invalid by the courts of that
country. Our diplomatic service has
taken the matter up, but the Veno-
zuelan government refuses to reopen
the case. The American ltigants have
