WITH HAMLET LEFT OUT.

Some days ago the Descret News re-
newcd on its own account, using as a
text a quotation from Salt Lake
weekly, its plea that the priesthood
should be left undisturbed to run things
in this region as they like. The News,
rs usual, wished to avoid any chance
OF giving any one n hold on the church
By way of pledges, agreements, or
anything Of that kind whereby later
on if the church did not keep faith
Gas it surely would not) it would be
charged with bad faith and dishonor,
The News instinctively in that ack-
nowlcdges the probability that the
church would not keep faith, no matter
what it agreed to. and so 1t didn t want
tho church TO be tied up with any
pledge or promise Noting this sneak
ing evasion of the News, the Logan
Journal comments upon 1t in the fol,
lowing manner, under the title, Greek
oning Without the Host.
The Deseret News approves of an edi-
torial that appeared in the Sunday Times.
wherein il said; Would it not be n
blessing for every man. woman and child
in Utah If In this crisis some other would
come forward and accomplish in the po-
lltical world what Fisher Harris accom-
plished in business and Industrial cir
cles''
The News however. dissents from the
view expressed by the Times as 20 the
best method OF bringing about the much
o-be- desired contamination. which in
volved q conference between representa-
tlves OF the church, the Republican, the
Democratic and the American party, and
inn
would It not be better to leave the
church entirely out since the church is
not q political factor. and claims no po-
litcal influence, except that which It's
members can lawfully exercise as indi-
vIduals and American citizens"
In return the Times may ask. wouldn't
this resemble that form of liquidation
known as settling without the host?''
Which shows clearly that our Logan
contemporary has not only the News,
but the whole situation here sized up
lust about right.

BY ITS OWN WITNESS.

Speaking still further upon tho mur~
der of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, The
Tribune again takes pleasure in max
ing reference to the witness that the
Deseret News presented, namely,
" Something Of Men I Have Known -
written by Hon, Adlai E. Stevenson. 1t
is significant paragraph to Latter day
Saints-meaning those of them who can
read between the lines,
Mr.. Stevenson, speaking of the time
Immediately following the death of the
prophet says:
Sidney Risdon now aspired TO be the
head of the church as the successor to
the martyred prophet His claims were
from heaven. He was. however, at once
antagonized by the quorum OF the
twelve" and after n bitter struggle,
Apostle Brigham Young was chosen, and
RiSdon expelled from the church and
''given over to the buffctings OF Satan"
Now, in considering the causes max
ing for the death of Joseph and Hy-
rum Smith, it must he borne in mind
that the church which they had organ.
lied upon the religion which they are
said to have invented had become a
very profitable affair. In an incredibly
short time the Smiths and their coad-
tutors had gathered together a consid-
cradle body Of people Nauvoo was,
at that time, probably the largest mu-
nicipality in the State of Illinois. On
that account it had been granted a
charter that was formidable in its DO
litical deformity. Under the physical
and political achievements of the
Smiths weapon had been formed that
was especially aluring and attractive
to men of ambitious. mind Rigdon
was ono such, and no man in all the
earth will say that Brigham Young ran
a whit behind him in this respect, al
though not possessing anywhere near
the educational qualifications. But here

MIR. CHEESEMAN'S DEATH.

The death of Mr. NJ. j. Cheesman
was surprise to the public, and espe-
cially 10 the business world of Salt
Lake. yesterday morning. He had not
been sick at all, but had been around
attending TO his business us usual, The
first notice that anything was the mat
ter with him was the notice Of his
death. IL was gricvous shock to his
family, and will leave Il void IN many
places: and ii will make the third va
caucy on the school board, by death,
the present year,
Il is remarkable to note the fatalities
that have so suddenly occurred among
members Of that board, First, Mr..
Oberndorfer. n member from tho Fifth
Ward, died on February 26, 1909; then
Judge Henderson, from the same ward,
died on June 3, 1909; and now Mr.,
Cheesman. one of the two members from
the Second Ward, Is dead-three within
the year. 1t is surprising indeed that
three out of membership of ten
should die within such a short period.
Mr. Cheesman has been for a great
many years closely identified with the
business world of Utah, and with the
business activities, especially, of Salt
Lake City. For number of years
past, however, he has not taken so
active general part rs formerly, but
has conducted his own business in ex-
cellcnt style and with an ability that
was characteristic OF all his financial
operations. His death is a. severe blow
to his family, and to them the sympa-
thies Of the whole community 60 out

FOOD PRICES GO UP.

We find in the Springfield (Mass)
Republican the following concise il
lustration of the upward bound Of
prices:
Here is practical study in sociology:
Ten years ago a Chicago department store

dinner:
Mine pound turkey. enough plum pud
ding for four. minCemeat enough for
three pies. bunch of celery. turkey season.
ing. pound OF parsley, quart OF cranber-

Of sweet potatoes"
This year the same bill of fare cost

In scaling the precipitous slopes OF the
price lists.
That is an increase of los per cent,
or an average rate Of increase of 10
per cent year. The nine-pound tur-
key alone would cost this year a good
deal more than the whole $1.95 feast
for four of ten years ago. For, the
80 cents pound asked for turkey in
this city, is even less than what is
asked in other cities.
But it is fine condensed illustration
of the boom in food prices, which
makes 1T so hard for the laboring man
on meager salary TO live as American
citizens and families ought TO live in
free republic,

THE LORDS DEFEAT THE BILL.

The House of Lords of Great Britain,
by an overwhelming majority, has re-
ieeted the financial budget put up to
it by the House of Commons. The
dispatches say that this is the first
time such a thing has occurred in three
hundred years. and three hundred
years lapse might we'll be construed
as forbiddIng such an action, precise
ly as a like long lapse Of time has put
it out Of the question for the King TO
veto any measure passed by Parliament.
There was much fine speaking during
the consideration of the bill. But Lord
Lansdowne g motion, which was the one
adopted and which defeats the budget,
appealed directly to the pockets of the
Peers, and the pocket argument pre-
vailed over the arguments of the ora
tors of the House OF Lords. So far as
the telegraphlc reports to this country
have given us the debates, the weight
of cloquence and of argument was de-
cidedly against Lord Lansdowne How
ever, it may be that we got more of
that side of the case because that is
the side that would be supposed to ap-
peal most powerfully 10 the American
people. In this country we do not be-
lieye. nominally at least, in untaxed
privileges and properties In private
hands. We exempt from taxation in
this country n good deal of church and
charitable property but seek ms far as
possible not TO exempt any property
held by persons or estates. Naturally,
| therefore, the argument in favor Of
taxing the property of the peers and
doing away with the exemptions and
privileges heretofore prevailing would
be supposed TO be particularly welcome
| in this country
Lord Lansdownc, AS we Judge from
note printed in these columns yester-
day morning from Mr. Moreton Frewen,
considers that the election in Bermond-
sey. large radical London electorate.
indicates that the voters of the king
dom will Justify and sustain the Lords
in their rejection of this revenue meas
ure; and Lord Lansdowne is said to be
a good politician with "his ear close
to the ground 1t will, therefore, be
question at the ensuing elections
whether his iudgomnt is good or not
OF course, if the House of Lords is
sustained in the January elections, the
| Commons give way; but if the Commons
are sustained then the very existence
of the House of Lords is in peril. ms
