WILL THEY CUT OUT THE GoRY7

News sometimes travels in rounda-
about ways, What we are about TO re.
late is not new to The Tribune, but
is merely in confirmation of certain
assertions made in these columns not
very long ago.
In our former article we called at.
tention to a rumor that we had heard
as coming from the inner ecclesiastical
circles of the Mormon church, to the
effect that there was q movement on
foot to so amend the temple oaths as
to eliminate the CORY portions-that
swearing vengeance against the Nation
on account of the death of Joseph and
Hyrum Smith, and that wherein the
novltiate is made to promise to submit
to all sorts of physical mutilation and
death in case of betrayal Of the "eove-
Dant.'
This confirmation of which we now
speak comes from far.off State-from
colony of the saints in that common
wealth. 1t also comes from another

quarter on the Pacific coast. This is
merely mentioned to show how news
travels, and what devious courses it
sometimes takes But it is evidently
true that the movement is on. And
perhaps The Tribune may be permitted
TO give a reason for it. For some years
The Tribune has charged that these
reasonable and bloody oaths were ad,
ministcrcd in certain of tho temple
ceremonies. During all that time the
Deseret News and church officials have
just rs emphatically denied the exist
ence of these oaths. BY degrees the
truth spoken by The Tribune and the
falsehoods uttered by the News and
high churchmen in this matter have
reached tho Mormon people. These
presentations. after so many reitera,
tions, have appealed to the reason of
the honest Mormons. Those who had
engaged In these ceremonies knew that
this paper was telling the truth and,
necessarily, that the church organ and
the high officials had been falsifying,
Tho agitation caused them to protest
and to movo and the proposed amend
ment is tho result.
In which, and again, The Tribune is
doing good work for honest Nor
nlnns

NARROWING ACCOUNTS.

Those accounts which we have from
the East, and as well from Texas, OF
numbers of persons freezing to death
are narrowing in the extreme. Very
few persons actually realize the danger
and suffering that may come upon one
from exposure TO the bitter cold OF
our great lakes, for instance. or of the
northers' y of Texas, or of tho northern
regions of the United States or Canada.
The Tribune yesterday morning had a
number Of accounts of the results of
such suffering. Nine corpses were found
adrift in a boat on Lake Erie. Twenty.
three in all are supposed to have been
lost by the foundering of the ferry-boat
in the middle of Lake Erie.
1t is dreadful, awful death to die,
and the narrowing thoughts of those
who realize their doom must be some
thing appalling. Nature In her bitter
moods is relentless and cruel, and but
for the resourcefulness, ingenuity, and
persistence of man, large portions of
the earth which are now well peopled
would be unfit for human habitation.
The elements are kind in their season
and on occasion, but they also have
their savage moods, and those who are
caught in those moods survive them
only through tremendous vitality or
favorable chance, One cannot read the
accounts of such suffering and loss of
life without shuddering, and tightening
OF the heart

400 The Tribune accused Elder Jo
seph w Musser with having taken
= new plural wife (and probably two)
since the manifesto. and that his crime
had been committed within the past
two years, approximately. Nothing was
said by the church organ In reply, nor
did the church authorities do anything
about the matter in any way thaC
would indicate to tho public that The
Tribune g charges was true. But the
church officials have, in fact taken no
tice Of cur accusations, IN that they
set on foot an investigation. AS re
suit, Elder Joseph w. Musser has been
disfellowshipped. However, not word
has escaped the News concerning the
matter. as a warning TO other intend
ing offeuders and the only cause for
church action in the matter was Thar
Elder Musser' IS offending was so open
and braZen that an investigation and
accusation by officers Of the law were
dangerously possible, and on that ac-
count they desired to take such action
as would suggest that they had washed
| their hands of his SIM
But would there have been anything
done in this affair had it not been fol
the expose made by The Tribune2 Not
in a thousand years.
Meantime the action of the churci
authorities is proof that The Tribune >:
charge was true; and it follows that il
this paper was truthful in this case
| it was not false with respect TO Tho
other thirty-one cases which we have
named Is not that so?
As an aside. we might suggest, too
that here IS another opportunity fol

other thousand dollars out Of thai

TITHING AND "ENOCH.'

The Tribune is unable to discern how
Apostle Whitney is going to establish
his law of "consccration in Zion, or,
in other words. to inaugurate that
"United Order Of Enoch,' of which
he recently spoke in the tabernacle, and
with which he menaced the saints.
History shows that the church lead

tho "word Of the Lord through His
servant J6seph'' could BRING 'th6' Nor
mon people into acceptance. But the
money must be obtained in some way
if not much, then little less-but
money they must have. So on July 8,
1898 (six years latcr) another sup
posed revelation was received, Of which
we had better reproduce the first four
paragraphs. 1t will be noticed that as
a foundation for the new system the
saints wcro to give over all of their
"surplus'' That would be Il good
start, and afterwards the one tenth
would do very nicely, Here is part
of the revelation which superseded the

with the twistings and turnings of the
hicrarchs, but it may be possible that

gate that which "shall be n standing

APOSTLE McKAY's DILEMMA.

Apostle David o. Mckay was the
chief speaker at the tabernacle on Sun.
day; and our report has him saying
that;
In order to understand God and His
with His spirit Students may study
and ponder. wise men may spend their
lives In delving into the mysteries OF
the infinite. but unless they are. In har,
mony with the spirit OF God they will
never understand.
There is no doubt that Elder Nc
Kay was as philosophical as he was
truthful, from his point of view. And
under that agreement, there is much TO
be drawn from the following:
Mr. Tayler.-But do you mean TO say
you, at your pleasure. obey or dlsobey
the commands OF Almighty God?
Joseph F. Smith.-Yes. sir.
Mr. Tayler er.-Communicated to you?
Joseph +, Smith, obey or disobey at
Mr. Tayler.--Just as you please?
Joseph F. Smitb.-Just as please.
Mr.. Tayler,-And that is Kind of a
God you believe in?
Joseph F. srni,h.--That is exactly the
kind OF God believe in.
Now, admittedly, Joseph T. is not a
student; he is not wise man; and
he is not in harmony with the spirit
of God,' because in this same Wash.
ington testimony he confessed that he
constantly broke the law Of God.
Is there any wonder, then, that Jo-
seph F. does not understand the won
drous works of God;" that he does
not prophesy; that he has not the pow.
- 1. 4 a
Yet he falsely pretcnds to, hold all
these "keys and powers,'' and Elder
Mckay ssustains him in his position

OFFICIAL TRAINED EXPERTS.

We have from Washington tho assur-
ance that the official trained experts
Of the Government know everything
that is to he known on any given sub
.icct claim in which there is a good
degree of truth, but which might fairly
| lend itself to eXaggeration in case any
one took ii seriously and absolutely.
II is true that the Official experts are
well trained in an immense variety of
useful and important knowledge, but
they don 7 know everything, and often
it is difficult TO get from them what
| they do know. Still, on the whole,
if thoy don t respond fairly and If they
don t know what one asks of them, they
are apt to point to some one from whom
the information can be obtained.
This latter suggestion calls to mind
the chief difficulty that the heads of
departments have in keeping their work
up to the high-class standards which
they desire; that is, that as soon rs
an expert gets to be really famous in
his line there is such demand for him
not only from various large concerns in
this country but all over the world
that he is called, for with almost ir-
resistible insistence, and is offered re.
muneration that the Government can not
afford to pay. The Department OF Agrl-
culture, for instance, lost not very long
ago several of It's very best experts TO
Japan, that country paying prices far
beyond what any expert in our civil
service could possibly receive or expect.
In the same way the various important
industries Of this country offer TO the
best experts in the different depart
ments from time TO time, salaries far
beyond the Government salary schedules;
and unless these experts have special
liking for public employ and are con
tent, either through having means of
their own or by reason OF the simple
life, with the salaries that they re
ccive, they are pretty apt TO be tolled
away from the government service,
Although, therefore, it is quite true
that the Government experts stand high
and are competent, admirable employ
ees, it is also true that as soon as they
attain extraordinary efficiency they are
lured away from the Government en-
ploy by some government, some cor
poration, or some person who wants
them good deal more than the Gov
ernment wants them, if we gauge this
want by the salary paid, The fact Of
the matter is. that the Government Scry-
ice is TO the best men n mere stepping
stone to something better. There are
unusual facilities in the Government
employ for sclf-education, by reason Of
the thorough physical equipments and
resources, a man of first class ability
serving in any department of the Gov.
ernmcnt service, can by diligent and
hard study make himself so prominent
and so desirable that he will not need
to stay very long in the Government
employ.
The boast Of the expertness of Gov.
crnment employees, therefore. is sim.
ply comparative. They do a good deal
better than tho average people outside.
but the very best of the experts. while
they may have been in Government
employ one time, are so no longer. They
graduate out of it into more special
lzed usefulness and far better pay.
