SALT LAKE FOR HEALTH.

We are at loss TO understand why
il is that newspapers, Published in this
| city and claiming to he friendly 10 Salt
Lake. should indulge in big scare-line
heads. falsifying The health situation
here.
The truth is, that Salt Lake City is
normally about the most healthy city
| in thc United States.
| Disease is found here. OF course, rs
in every city; but on the average, no
place in the whole country is as nor
mally and generally healthy as Salt
Lake
II is true, also, that there is from
diseases. but so far as smallpox is CON
ccrncd this ls largely due to the fact
that, under the laws of this State, vac.
rinaton cannot he enforced even where
il is needed.
IT is altogether out Of the line of fair,
decent effort 10 undertake to raise n
scare about an epidemic that is not pres
emf, but that somebody thinks may pos
sibly he felt later on. There is no rea
son to appreheud Il direful epidemic on
account of the water supply of this
city. The water supply is, as has been
repeatedly and scientifically demon
strated, pure and healthful. The melt
ing SHOWS of the hills carry no infcc-
tions. The reserve from which the
water mells into the mountain streams
is kept from contamination; il is not
used for 4 range for sheep or cattle, but
the cleanliness OF thc whole area is
carefully guarded, The water is from
time TO time chemically analyzed, and
always il is found to be absolutely pure
and hcalthful.
Why. then, should there be any vel.
low scare raised about thc health of
this city' There is but one reply: The
chine is the source from which this out
cry comes. to thc damage of Salt Lake.
without the least cause or reason. 1t
rs all simply partisan howl, raised
for political purposes, because the Smoot
machine is not in control Of this mu-
nicipality. If il were in control, there
would not be one word Of complaint
about health conditions here, as, in
deed, there is no Just cause to raise nny
question about those conditions. The
whole complaint is a vicious, partisan
one for political purposes, and for
partisan ends alone. II is as dlsrc-
putsble as anything could possibly be,
and every good citizen should unite in
frowning it down.

BISHOP SPALDING's SERMON.

The sermon preached on Sunday
morning BY Bishop Spaldmc of the
t.pIscopal church, and given in brief in
yesterday morning IS Tribune, was a
| Philosophlc discussion of the dividing
Inc between faith and imagination. 1t

'aSIic teaching; often vicious and dam.
aging to mind, body, and spirit. History
is fnll OF rccitalS of the rise and fall of
such vagarlcs; and vet the human race
appears ever ready 10 welcome some
new wiIl-o tho wisp instead Of being
content TO follow the light of true rcvc-
iatlon' experience, and reason. And so.
presumably, it Will ever be; but mono
the less do we properly protest against
these misleading lights, and warn hu.
manIty to cease following after them.
Illustrating the difference between
faith and imagination, Bishop Spalding
said that 81 Joseph Smith, the foun-
der the theology. of the Latter-day
Saints, had been able to distinguish be.
tween faith and imagination. he would
not have described God as he did, To
which may fairly be added, that if he
had been able to make the distinction
referred TO, he would have refraincd
from the promulgaton of many other
Vagarles.
Bishop Spalding, further illustrating
the central theme Of his discourse,
showed the futility of listening TO mere
imaginary schemes for tho bettcrmcnt
OF humanity, such as great co-opcra-
tive commonwealths, a reconstructed
society, and all that sort of thing. All
this is Imagination; as fiction or litcrn-
ture this may interest or amusr. but
otherwise sis not worth the paper it is
written on He urged that in all
these things reason and observation

record abundantly shows that 1T rs ana

that the church has been prosecuted
and "drivcn'' rests on precisely that
same basis as the claim that 1T is re

on the ono hand that If was not the
church, but individuals, that ala the
deeds Of darkness, il must he repllcd
that it was not the church but IN
dividuals, that were punished and ban

as an entity separate from lndivid'

the other. And right there is the root
Of the faIlacics OF the Mormon argn-
mcnt on this phase Of the case; IT as
sumes that it was the church that was
aimed at when individuals of its mem

that il is the church that rctallatcs, ana

sort of argument must pass out OF the
discussion. For, it is the church IN

MIR sTRAus ON MIR. ROOSEVELT.

We notice that the Hon. Oscar :,
Straus, late Secretary Of Commerce and
Labor under The Roosevelt admiuistra-
! tlon, comes out on ferveut eulogy of
| Mr.. Roosevelt. In speaking Mt the
dedication OF 4 window in honor of the
Roosevelt administration. IN the Met
ropolitan Temple in New York, on sun
day, Mr.. Straus said:

with that great confidence and In deep
sympathy With tho plain people of our
country. upon whose judgment and sonsc
he placed his ultimate reliance, Roosevelt
has Nitallzed and appealed TO the public
conscience of the nation.
Mr.. Straus had good opportunity
to study and know Mr.. Roosevelt, and
his judgment of him. if unbiased by
personal feeling or recognition of favor
granted, ought to be excellent. But
there is the trouble. We fear that Mr..
Straus has allowed his mind 10 be
warped in Mr.. Roosevclt's s favor by
reason of official favor, and because Of
his feeling that personal recognition of
that favor was due.

SMITH ON DELUSIONS.

President Joseph +. Smith of the
Mormon church delivered the commence
ment sermon before the students at
the Latter-dav Saints school in Bar
ratt Hall on Sunday evening, 1t was
for the most part recital Of the
"evidcnces - Of the truth of the Smith
so.callcd revelations. and defense Of
the verify Of the three witnesses in
their testimony that they had seen the
plates and had personal knowledge of
the matters claimed by the founder of
the religion. In this he was no more
successful than others have been. ard
ne left everything as before; as. indeed,
could not otherwise have been cx-
pccted.
But in one part of his sermon ne put
n poser to the students. Even sup
posing that the teaching of the church
were not true. no one had ever been
injured by the work Of the church. -
And he asked, '.Will it make me any

Now. apart from the desire of every
man to have his doctrines and trust
based upon truth, what sort Of morality
is that which Smith teaches! Is it
( not, IN effect, breaking down Of the
wall that separates the false from the
