HIS FATUOUs CoMPLACENCY,

Here and there, but not so often now
rs formerly, we hear tithe-payer and
special fund donator Of the dominant
church here contentedly admire his own
situation rs compared with that of
members Of other churches
To explain. He viii FIRST say that
he is proud TO belong TO an ecclesiastical
organization that never passes the con
tributjon plate at service He VIII even
go so far as to ridicule that idea, and
will even assert that the ministers thus
"preach for hire and divine for
money! In fatuous complaisance he
looks upon the contribution plate of the
Gentle church as n plain robbery in
plain sight. He forgcts that he is
swindled out of vastly larger sum an
nually than member of another church
contributes. His lack of reason causes
him to overlook the fact that while the
Mormon priests do not pass the CON
tribution plate at church service he
is requested TO hand To the clerk of his
ward special contribution for the
poor, and one for ward maintenance,
before he enters or while he is at the
monthly fast meeting. He stupidity neg
lects the fact hat he gives up ten per
cent of his earnings; that he CON
tributes TO missionary funds; that he
helps to build amusement halls; that he
assists in paying for stake houses; that
his children contribute dimes and
nlckels in great array to support Sun
day schools, 'Mutuals' and primary
associations; that he pays his own
quorum fees; and so on, almost in
numerably; and that he receives no ac-
counting upon the main graft Of ten
per cent.
His situation reminds us of the little
story told Of two schoolboys. The one
complained that he had been punished
by his teacher, and inquired, "Does

IT IS UP TO ELDER TAYLOR.

1t is with no disposition to harass
Elder Joseph f. Taylor that The Trib-
une again. calls his attention to the
offer that he made to this paper not
long ago; but we desire to have clear
ance of that matter in one way or the
other-either that The Tribune has met
his conditions in practical sense, and
is therefore entitled to at least one Of
those patches Of polygamous reward
money, of which he said he had an
abundant supply, or that we have failed
entirely.
Now, it must be plain to Elder Tay
lor, as it is to the public, that it is i'm
possible for either this paper or the
citizens of Utah to make Judgment in
the matter until both get an express
sion of Mr.. Taylor's opinion upon tho
showing so far made on both sides.
The Tribune is not content to accept
as final the Judgment of some persons
who are possibly antagonists Of Elder
Taylor, that his offer of reward was
merely n bluff, and that he was never
that wasn't forced out of him. Nor
is this paper of mind TO present as
its own conclusion n 6nahty that has
been constructed by neighbors who
may have been unfriendly TO him, that
his chief occupation in life was rather
to fleece the widow than to meet
manly issue in manful way. That is
not, Tho Tribune S business, in any
sense of the word. We speak now mere
ly of that polygamous reward money
The Tribune docs not need ii, but the
poor do; and this Christmas time will
furnish ample opportunity for its
righteous and charitable outlay.
But we are afraid that the poor are
destined to disappointment, so far as
Elder Taylor is concerned. AS to that,
perhaps the point brought forward by
other elders in Israel with reference to
the disposition Of their brother in
the gospel may best be illustrated in
little story.

his tight6stedness passed to the great

tion of today all over Utah, If, in that

AN OLD MYTH.

Most people are familiar with the
old story that Frederick the Great made
gift of a sword 10 Washington, with
the message that it was ''From the
Oldest General TO the Greatest - This
has appeared in 4 great many places
and has been Yehemently asserted. and
IN fact controversies of more or less
acrimony have arisen in regard to it.
BY reason of the interest attaching to
tho point, careful search has been
made IN the Prussian archives TO see if
anything could be learned from them
about gift of sword to Washington
from Frederick the Great The result
is that a painstaking, minute search has
failed to reveal any evidence that there
was any such presentation.
It is question of good deal of in
terest, but probably impossible now of
absolute solution, with the negative of
the question on the sounder basis The
New York Tribune, recently consider
ing the question, speaks of il as a puz-
zle to historians and biograPhers. Some
declare positively that such sword was
sent and received; and yet nothing APP
pears III the Prussian archives about it;
though if true the fact would be pretty
sure to appear there. And that paper
concludes by saying that 'fThe present
report does not finally dispose of the
matter, but 1T does add to the apple
heusion that an entirely Convincing dis
posal of it may never be attained. -
And so tins story passes TO future gen
erations as an unsolved riddle some
thing on the order of the ".Junius Let
ters,' and "The Man in the Iron
Mask -

SHAW HAS FORGOTTEN.

Not long ago Mr.. Horace White put
forth the proposition that Ex-Secretary
Shaw OF the Treasury was forced out
OF his Cabinet by President Roose-
welt, on account of Roosevelt's dislike
Of Shaw S plan to give the Secretary OF
the Treasury the right ''to raise or lower
the reserves of the banks, y
Secretary Shaw replies. saying that he
never made any such recommendation,
that he apprised the President always
of every recommendation he intended
TO make, and that President Roosevelt
did not force him out OF the Cabinet,
did not even ask him TO resign, but
on the contrary parted with him with
regret And Mr.. Shaw quotes Presi-
dent Roosevelt as saying to him on
parting, "L suppose we must all con
cede Alexander Hamilton s pre-emin-
cnce. but from his time to now | do not
think you have been eXcclled in your
department Which is certainly very
high praise, and does not indicate that
President Roosevelt forced Secretary
Shaw out of the Cabinet or even wished
him to resign. On the contrary, if that
is President Rooscvclt's real sentiment,
he must have parted with Secretary
Shaw with n good deal of regret,
AT the same time, Secretary Shaw
seems to have tripped where he said
that he did not make the recommends
tiou attributed to him by Mr.. White, for
as the Springfield Republican quotes,
Secretary Shaw recommended IN his am
nual report of December, 1906, the fol
lowing:
Second. better plan in my judgment
would be TO clothe the secretary OF the
treasury with authority TO require all
banks. at certain times fixed by him, 10
slightly and gradually increase their re-
serves and hold the same within their
own vaults, with corresponding authority
TO release the same from time 10 time,
as in his judgment VIII best serve the
business interests of the country.
Which proves the practical accuracy
of Mr.. White in saying that Mr.. Shaw
made the recommendation which would
give the Secretary Of the Treasury the
power to raise and lower the reserves
of banks. And since Mr.. White was
correct in this, it is quite possible that
he may have been correct IN saying that
President Roosevelt forced Shaw out Of
his Cabinet. although Shaw did not
know it as forcing process; and IN
that case President Roosevelt's words
OF commentator quoted by Mr.. Shaw
would seem TO have been rather IN eXu-
berant outburst at his pleasure on get
ting rid of Shaw than to be taken as
plain, literal statement Of his real opin
ion. 1t is rather an interesting little
point, but of no great public conse
qucncc either way. Its application and
are to Shaw personally
rather than To the public.

THAT REVISION DOWNWARD.

The "revislon downward of the
tariff made by the new law appears to
be in truth having Just the reverse cf-
feet. \ plush manufacturer writes to
the New York Journal Of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin that under she
Dingley bill the tariff on tussah silk
yarns. Of which his trade uses a great
deal, carried a duty of 40 cents a pound
when valued at one dollar or over, but
under the new tariff law the duty on
the same grades Of yarns amounts TO
5I cents per pound, an increase of over
26 per cent. The plush manufacturer
adds:
As not pound OF this low grade tussah
yarn is spun IN this country. and prob
aDlY never Will be. we think this new
rate of duty altogether too high, as the
goods this yarn enters into are consumed
by the middle classes. and when such
large advance in the duty has TO be
added 10 the cost OF the goods it Will
stop their consumption to a large extent.
Accordingly, he wants to know what
can be done about it, Doubtless, many
others who had duties raised on them
under prctense Of "revision downward -
would ask the same question.
The answer is, that probably moth
ing can be done. An application to
Congress would probably meet the same
answer as did the carded wool manu-
facturers, who when they approached
the Senate Committee asking fair
amount Of protection in their business
ou the same ratio in which other wool
manufacturers were protected, were inn
pudently told by Smoot that "thcy had
better 20 into worsteds, - as he intended
to do, doubtless referring TO the (at
that time) projected reopening of the
Provo wooden mills. The revision down.
ward. in fact, appears to have struck
the carded wool manufacturers and no.
body else. Undoubtedly the carded wool
men have as much right TO protection as
any other of the woolen industries, and
it is nm astonishing thing that they
had the cold shoulder turned to them in
such n high protective body as the
Senate Committee on Finance. Evident

cali anything of important good that
the tightwad had accomplished in the
world, and the door was about to be
closed when up came the shade of a lit
tie newsboy. "Please, SIR said the

from me for two cents and gave ME

Speaking in terms of partial para

and go-well, anywhere he likes.

The Tribune is no doubt the paper re-
ferred TO, But the Tribune printed all
the facts and particulars OF the What

to make any scandal of il as the church
organ did: and the church organ has
declined to yield TO the real govern
ing fact in the ease, which is that the
police acted IN that case under the
direct supervision Of the county attor-
ney
With regard to publishing the news,
The Tribune does not sncer at any other
paper. We simply call attention TO the
fact, which is known TO everybody,
that The Tribune is the only paper
which does print the news, print II all,
and print it without bias or prejudice,
With respect to being oncsidcd. the
church organ has the matter exactly re.
versed. There is not anywhere more
many sided paper than The Tribune.
1t takes liberal, patriotic views of
everything and everybody, makes al
lowances for the frailities of human ma
ture, and is tender with all so far as
it can be, although il is not willing to
extend its charity to willful and adul
terous law-breakers
Finally, The Tribune conceals moth
ing whatever in regard to the malad
ministration of public business, either
city, county, or State, so far as it is
aware Of such maladmiulstratiou.
With respect to the maladministra
tion of private affairs we had supposed
that the church organ great, abound
ing. and strenuous complaint of The
Tribune was that it prints too much on
that score, having in tins special ref
,rence TO the maladministration OF pri-
yate affairs that leads to contempt and
defiance of the laws on the part of "our
most prominent citizens, viz, the big
