contemporary classics. In his article
on Railroads and Publicity, James
o. Pagan reaches the climax of his
series. supporting the grave charges
he makes against unIonism In way
which will be difficult enough for the
unions to answer. The other Atlantic
series, THE Diary of Gideon Welles,''
provides an interesting installment on
the gross mistakes of Seward during
the early years of the war. The old
naval secretary tells the truth, as his
custom was, without the slightest re-

LOYALTY AND CITIZENSHIP,

Local contemporaries comment Oh
the address made by Elder Nephi L.
Morris in the Tabernacle last Sunday,
but. they fail to mention the central
thought in his excellent. discourse. that
this is a. land of liberty, and that 1t IS
< SO blythe decree of the Almighty.
The speaker emphasized that Amerl-
can citizenship is one of the blessings
s enjoyed by the Latter-day Saints who
have come here from other countries
# lNhis Is one of the divine gifts bestowed
upon them In common with others. He
pointed out that these continents we're
discovered at a time when a desire for
liberty was awakened among the ma
lions OF the earth, in order that those
who fed from tyranny might find an
asylum. He cited American history,
and especially the proclamation of the
Monroe doctrine, the Civil. war, the
emancipation of the slaves, and the
Spanish war as illustrating the hand
Of Providendce in the preservation Of
the Western world for liberty. And
{ then he maintained that the Latter-day
saints, holding such views regarding
this country, cannot but be good, loyal
citizens
Those who would understand the po-
sition of the Latter-day Saints should
remember that they hold such views;
y that to them this country Is under the
special care of God; that to them citi-
zenship is a blessing bestowed by their
Heavenly Father for the proper educa.
ton of His children; that certain re-
sponsibilities accompany this gift as
all divine gifts, and that liberty has
been established here for the ultimate
benefit OF all the world. They should
remember, in other words, that with
the Latter-day Saints loyalty is part
Of theli, religion which to them is dear
Ell than life itself,
And why should not the proper OBJ
Eervance5 OF the obligations of free citl-
zenship he " religious duty? Why
should not love of country be part of
true religion? The earth is tile Lords
And the children OF men are His chill
tlrslr The great civic reform wave
that swept the country under the ma
honal leadership of Roosevelt, and that
IS still rising, indicates that the time
will come when citizenship will be COLI
sldercd sacred, when 1t will inenn

We read again:
..And that the American leaders
had stirred up strife and told to the
world infamous fa1sehoods about
Utah being 'prieSt-ridden sin
soaked commonwealth In which decent
PEOPLE cannot live
This the Tribune characterizes rs
false. Does the Tribune pretend to
have forgotten the persecution Of Sena-
tor slnoot and the Church? Anyone
who has read the columns of the Trib-
une for the last few years knows that
what we have said on this point is
true, every word Of 1t. The Tribune
has not, perhaps, said In so many words
directly. that no decent people can live
in Utah, although it may have done so;
+ but the burden OF Its accusations and
ISLANDERS and abuse and rnisrepresen-
tations has conveyed that idea to thou
sands.
Further:
ut Is this priestly hierarchy which
has given Utal, its black eye among
the States"
Wrong again. Utah has no 'priestly
hierarchy" and as fol. the excellent
mon who stand ut tile head of the af-
fairs Of the Church, they are honored

and Joan of Are, would have carried
fagsots to the stake. 1t is due to them
and their efforts that Utah has about
outlived the ISLANDERS and abuse of it's
enemies
The Tribune closes its latest effort at
sophistry in behalf OF its party with
what 1t would call q whine about our
objections to the truth being told about
Utah We have no such objections. On
the contrary, let the Tribune tell all the
trntl, II has mind to, provided it can
do any good to its felnw-nlen by do
rnG so. But We object to the false
hoods that have cmanated from the
Tribune office, We object to the mis-
representations about the Church and
Church leaders. And we furthermore
denounce as rank hypocrisy the claim
of the Tribune that 1t rs actuated BY
motives of purity and morality, in
iassailing prominent members Of the
Mormon" Church, as long as 1t keeps
silent about the moral status Of its own
friends. Morality should be Impartial.
The Tribune is assailing the Church

party by Mr.. Aldrich, but as he does
not constitute the Republican party
why his action in this regard may be
looked upon in the light of a good
joke. Bristow represented Kansas in
the tariff fight and not Rhode Island,

inently satisfactory manner.
