MR.. HORSoN,s PLEA.

We have from the Hon. Richard Pear.
son Hobson. a Representative in Con.
gress from the State OF Alabama. "An
Appeal to the President Of the United
States for the Retention of tho Fleet
and for an Adequate Defense in the
Pacific Ocean Mr.. Hobson' s inten'
tions in this arc undoubtedly patriotic
and commcndable. We ourselves have
from time to time urged as strongly as
possible the retention of the fleet IN the
Pacific ocean and the establishment of
a great naval establishment, with ma
chiucry. dry docks, and every accessory
competent 10 maintain that fleet. build
new ships, and the make the United
States tho great naval power of the
Pacific ocean, as it ought to be. The
coast delegation in Congress has urged
the same view upon the President, and
others besides Mr.. Hobson in the East
and South have taken the same course.
But all in vain. And "retention is
not the word to apply now in this ar
gument; "send back" would be the
proper words, since the fleet has al
ready been taken away from the Pacific
ocean and is about to start upon its
home trip, from the eastern coast Of
Asia.
At the same time, there can be no
doubt whatever Of the strength of Rep
resentative Hobson S appeal in favor of
the adequate naval control of the Pa.
cific ocean by the United States He
points out the predominance of the
japanese, and the absence of any check
upon Japan g ambitions for the control
Of Asia and for the control Of the great
ocean. We think, however, that Mr..
Hobson' g fear Of Japan is to large
degree uuwarranted: but at the same
time we believe there is substantial
reason for having controlling force
on the Pacific ocean capable, not only
of protecting our Western coast but OF
maintaining against all assaults our
prestige in the Pacific and our protoc-
tion of Hawaii and of the Philippines,
We do not anticipate any Immediate
danger from Japan. and do not consider
that Japan is in any position to make
war upon the United States, or that she
thinks she is. It is true that somc Of
her leading statesmen look forward to
such n war, and this country ought TO
be prepared to meet it. The best pos
sible preparation for this is to have an
adequate naval establishment in the
Pacific, with every desirable accessory
and appliance towards maintenance and
increase, ut need, of our naval strength
there, convenient nt hand on the West
ern coast, with ample dcfenses at Pearl
Harbor and Honolulu. and with adc-
quate defcnscs, both by ships aud for
at Manila and in Subig bay.
The reasons for this are well set forth
by Representative Hobson. and any one
who will make even a slight study of
the subject must, it seems to us, agree
that this country should prepare itself
in this way for all emergencies. The
Hobson plea is ineffective at present,
but the reasons urged IN it arc effective,
and are sufficient for all time in sup
port OF the position that he assumes.

AS TO PHILIPPINE SUGAR.

The incumbencv Of President Taft is
likely 10 sec vigorous efforts in favor
of free trade between the United
states and the Philippines, Mr. Taft
has constantly favored this, and has
often shown that there is no possible
menace to this country in it. His sue
cessor in the Office of Governor of the
Philippines. and also in the ofico Of
Secretary of War. gave the House Ways
and Means Committee some important
information on Philippine sugar grow
ing, when he appeared last week be
fore that body. He showed that there
is no reason to fear any injury to the
beet sugar industry in this country from
the Introduction Of Philippine sugar.
For, said he:
il is not possible tho Philippine Islands
could support the actual increase in de-
mand for sugar year by year. in the
United States. in that case there is no
reason why the Philippine Islands should
affect tho market until the beet and cane
sugar produced within the tariff wall in
crcases 100000 tons. Before the beet
sugar industry Is In tho slightest danger
IL must increase from 40. 900 tons an
nually 10 100000 tons. and from annual
reports il would take fifty years TO do
this. ] can't sec how II would affect
tho domestic product If Philippine sugar
were placed for a time on the free list.
Secretary Wright further showed that
tho sugar trust owns 81 per cent Of the
stock Of ali the beet sugar factories,
which, he suggests, ''may bo the rca-
son why the beet sugar industry in this
country has not grown, rather than the
importation of Cuban sugar. This Is
a very shrewd remark, and it may &c.
count for the failure TO construct =
beet sugar factory at or near Gunni-
SON in this State. after that construction
had been specifically promised by the
local beet et-sugar managers. Indeed. 1t
was definitely stated at the time that
1t was the Eastern sugar trust Interests
that forbade this promised construction
of the sugar factory near Gunnison.
Secretary Wright in his statement
made il reasonably clear that it is the
sugar trust that is opposing the free
import Of Philippine sugar. This Tjow
was reinforced by the testimony of

nner, Wno SAID fhat inc sugar trust IS

SCHOOL CONVENTIONS TONIGHT.

The American school conventions to
he held in the different wards Of this
city tonight for the nomination of
candidates for members of the board
Of education, should receive the hearty
and enthusiastic attendance Of the
school-loving population of this city.
These conventions will doubtless make
conspjcuously good nominations, aud in
the hands Of these nominees the schools
will be much improved over the pres
ent management. We commend 10 all
Of the free people of this city that they
devote their time tonight from eight
o clock onward, as much as is neces-
sary, to the doing of the patriotic work
involved in making these school nom
nations.
1t is one Of the singular impositions
of the time that the partisan adhercnts
of the church-controlled schools should,
with such stupendous impuGence, claim
that they are nonpartisans. They are
the bittercst partisans Of the city. It
is they who insist, under the name of
nonpartisans, in Keeping the schools
strictly in the partisan control of the
church. In the First ward nonparti
SAM convention OF last Wednesday
evening, it was openly claimed that
"we" (meaninG the Mormon church
party) were determined TO have their
man on the school board. The free peo
pie of this city have had an example
or two of the way in which these non
partisan conventions, so called, arc
held When the nonpartisan convention
met few years ago in the First ward
the nomination made did not suit the
Mormon partisan nonpartisans; they,
held nonpartisan' con-
vcntion of their own, and nominated
their partisan candidate, That is TO
say, nonpartisanship is mere sham
and cloak under which the bitter church
does its work. The real
is that involved in the
American movement which is backed by
the mass Of the hool-loving popula-
ton of this city, and that is the control
which ought to be exercised in the
schools of this city in place Of the rabid
involved in the continued
church control

THE BINGHAM TRAGEDY.

Whenever thera is Il distressful
! tragedy involving the death by acci-
don't or through lack of due caution,
of number Of human creatures,
there is, when the liko happens in this
country, almost certain to be some
heroic figure emerge. as a credit 10 his
race and a splendid example of un.
daunted bravery and sacrifice. In the
tragedy of Saturday night at Bingham
there was not lacking the heroic figure
that one is led to expect on such
occasions. That figure was the young
man, Kent Smith, general foreman of
the Utah Copper mines, in the lower
workings of which the deaths occurred.
Mr.. Smith had given warning of the
danger from air poison, known ms
damp in that part OF the mine, and
had. as he supposed, effcctually
warned all the workmen from going
down there. One. however, either not
getting this warning or not needing it,
went into that dangerous place. Mr..
Smith. an experienced miner and brave
10 the point of rashness, as appears
from his act, went in after this unheed-
ing or reckless miner, in the hope
of saving his life. Instead, he lost his
own. And two other brave men, fol-
lowing his lead on the like errand of
mercy as to himself, also lost their
lives. Tt was a distressful calamity,
but it brought forth the heroic human
feeling which leads to the sacrifice Of
life for the rescue of another. And Mr..
Kent Smith stands forth as the hero
Of this tragedy. His memory should
be revered as such, and it should long
be quoted as shining example OF un-
fortitude in the service Of
the call Of humanity, tc say nothing of
duty.
1t appears that the air compressor
was disabled, and could not clear the
foul air from that part of the work
ings; therefore the danger warning was
given. No doubt there will be an in
with a view of fixing the |
for this tragedy where !
it belongs. Perhaps no responsibility |
can ever be fixed, but the investigation |
should be had, just tho same, and all |
possible facts brought to light. 1t is
difficult always to prevent occasional
loss of life in mines. But every pos
sible precaution should be taken for
such preventions. Mining companies
are usually alert and alive TO this. and
hey do their very best to avert the
oss OF life in this way. The fact that

Doctrine and Covenants page 167.
Having in mind the pslpable
frauds and the merccnary iniustices
that are constantly being imposed upon
the Mormon people by their leaders, the
outsider sometimes wonders how it is
that these men are able to maintain
such hold upon the people as to com
pei them to submit to their tyrannies.
The Mormon priesthood contend that
apostasy from the Mormon church is
a denial Of the Holy Ghost. According
to their teaching there is to be no for
giveness for that man or that woman
who "denies the Holy Ghost. AS
noted In the matter taken from the
Doctrine and Covenants, "'the heaviest
of all cursings" is placed upon the
apostatc. II is this doctrine that the
priesthood hold as n frightful club over
the heads of the people, as may be oh.
