FALSE TITHE EXCUSES.

It is strange that the men and the
press of the Mormon church will per-
sist in making statements that are so
obviously false as to provoke ridicule.
We were reminded of this by something
said by the Dcseret News concerning
tho tithes. 1t practically repeated what
was printed in the Pittsburg Gazette
Times a while back as having been
given to that paper in tho form of an
interview with President Joseph T,
Smith: "There are many uses to which
it (tithing) is put. One is the care
of the poor. Over 100000 a year is
expended for that purpose,
We have before us the evidence Of
the method by which the poor of the
Mormon church are cared for, if at all,
by the hierarchs. 1t is in the form
Of little contribution slip, from the
ward bishop, reading as follows on one
side.
place your offerings in the envelope, and
indicate on the other side OF this card
the amount you wish to contribute TO
each account Seal and deliver to the
clerk on entering the chapel on fast-day.
II you cannot attend fast meeting the
lesser priesthood Will call during the
week.
On the other side of the slip is a
printed blank form, the two funds to
which contributions are solicited being
the "worthy poor fund" and the "ward
expense fund.- Each ward must at
tend to these things for itself. 1t must
not be concluded that these slips are
left with Mormon families only, be-
cause Gentiles are appealed to- How
ever much. for instance, the Mormon
high priests dislike The Tribune, they
! feel no compunction about accepting

HELPFUL TO ALL.

Tho people of Idaho arc appreciativc
Of the good work that The Tribune ia
doing for that State through the let
ters of Mr.. c. T.. Arney, which appear
ut frequent intervals in the columns
of this paper. Mr.. Annoy has done well
in writing up the progress of our neigh
Dor on the north. and that his work
is appreciated is evident from the fol-
lowing editorial in the Caldwell Tri-
bune under the heading "Doing Good
Work -:
The people OF Idaho should appreciate
the good work now being done by The
salt Lake Tribune In this state. The
Tribune has employed Mr.. 9. Il. Arney.
VINO Is visiting and writing up all Sec
tlons OF Idaho, The advertising value OF
this work Is immense. and the people
should show their appreciation. II would
cost the people thousands OF dollars 10
get these write-ups of the various sec
tlons OF Idaho Il they started out to buy
space in The Tribune or any other news
paper OF equal standing. prestige. and
circulation. That 1t is being done free
enhances rather than lessons the value
OF the work. The Salt Lake Tribune Is
TO be thanked and commended.
1t only remains to add that The
Tribune is glad TO be of this service
to our neighbor on the north We have
been for many years engaged in this
same service for Idaho. having done al
ways whatever was possible for us to
do in the service Of that State. as well
as of Utah. We VIII say that the same
is true with respect to all our neigh
bors. We have done what we could
for Nevada. for the west coast gener-
ally, for Arizona, for Wyoming, for
Montana, and for the whole mountain
region. The Tribune aims to be, and
is, Il helpful newspaper TO all this
western country, and now as always
it is glad of every opportunity to make
that service practical and effective.

SAMPLE OF HIS HYPOCRISY.

That Logan sermon Of President 10.
seph +. Smith continues to furnish us
with much matter for reflection. 1t
is so full OF the usual hypocrisies that
it would seem that Joseph Z, simply
laid himself out in an endeavor to
beat the record by crowding tho larg-
est number possible into a given time.
Here is one: "Would man possess
ing the spirit of the Lord in his heart
stoop to take advantage of the un-
wary7 OF those not as brilliant as
he himself is in his dealings7 No"
The Tribune is not going to charge
Joseph +. with being at all brilliant.
1t is a fact so well known that it is
scarcely necessary to repeat it here that
Mr.. Smith would find it Hhard going'
in this world, to use common ex-
preston, if it were not for the institu-
ton which has been built up for him
by others of infinitely greater capacity.
But, contrary to the pretense which he
inferentially made for himself at Lo.
gan he does not hesitate to utilize the
workings of that institution in order
to take advantage Of the unwary in his
own behalf and for his own benefit,
And as to making all possible out of
people in business dealings, there arc
so many concerns Of business nature
in which he is interested that depend
for profit upon his conferred influence
as president of the church. that he is
in class all by himself as business
faker.
! But what is little hypocrisy to Mr.

money earned by men who serve The
Tribune AL money looks alike to the
prophets-it Clocks good. Then,
again, there are many OF the Mormon
poor in the Doorhouses that arc sus-
tanned out of the public taxes. If,
as Joseph f. declares, there is the sum
of 100000 paid out annually for the
support of the poor out of the tithc
fund. it is bit difficult to imagine
where the money goes to under exist
ing conditions. To illustrate; There
arc many of the Mormon poor in the
poorhouses; funds are collected, cspe'
cially and aside from the tithes, for
the support Of the Mormon poor Gen
tiles as we'll as Mormons contribute to
this fund; then tho high priests boast
that proportloDately there are fewer
poor people among the Mormons than
among any other people on earth.
OF course, 100000 is a mere baga-
telle as n matter Of one years graft for
any man of any considerable pretension.
but if there is any such amount taken
from the tithes for any such pretended
purpose. the poor do not see a cent of
