ENDORSING THE CAPITOL.

| We have not observed the activity in

come out cmphatcally and unrescrvedly
IN support Of the proposition for amend
ing the State constitution 80 permit the
levy of ono mill tax every year for
fifteen years, 10 provide money where
with TO build this State capitol
We have urged that il is not only n
good business proposition for the State
but that it Is a proposition for The safe
ty of The archives and for the conven-
fence of transacting the large public af.
fairs of tho commonwealth.
In no sense is this political ques.
ton, and vet 1T is quite proper for par
ties and party committees to express
themselves upon it. And accord

mttec. al a recent meeting, adopted
and gave out an emphatic Endorsement
of the State capitol proposition in the
following words:

llOn partisan one in any sense. the
American party city committee cannot
refrain from giving ont It's emphatic In
dorsement OF the proposition to amend the
state Constitution, so as TO provide Il
fund for building State Capitol on the
Capitol grounds In this city.
Tho need and desirability OF an official
and business home for tho state is OBJ

amendment
There can he no controVcrting the
proposition that the State needs Il

tlons of its public business with the
people, 1t is now upwards of thirteen
years since Utah became State, and
in ali that time it has rented quarters,
which every year arc becoming more
crowded and less c0mmodious for State
purposes.
The dictates of safety in preserving
the State records and archives, prompt
the building of structure where these
Will always be secure. and where the
people will feel assured of their protec-

The argument, therefore, on general
principles, is unaDswerable for the cap

IS 1T BOUGHT BY THE "RED?'

In its "sloshing around - on the cred
light district" question. the Smoot
'Mouth' appears 10 have landed
square inside Of the stockadc 1t as
sails Job Lyon for prosecuting the in
mates of the rcd light district, it finds
fault with Mr.. Ashton because he has
not done something heretofore, and
throws cold water on his proposition
Hthat on number Of occasions, appa-
rcntly good evidence has been secured
but that in investigating it he had as
certained that it was hardly strong
enough TO secure conviction of the
! persons violating the injunction. -
Quite naturally the FMouth' senses
in its discussion that if the special at
torney against the rcd light district
(Mr, Ashton) is correct, there has been
no reason for finding fault with County
Attorney Job Lyon heretofore. It is
therefore almost necessity of the
Mouth 81 case to quarrel also with
Mr.. Ashton in order TO maintain its at
titude toward Mr.. Lyon.
This antagonism of the "Mouth' TO
the attorneys who have the prosccu.
tions in hand. together with its boom
given TO the woman supposedly manag-
ing the whole red light proposition,
causes the public to suspect that the
Mouth" has been filed with red
light money, and that il is really the
organ of the stockade, It's outgivings
certainly Justify this inference.
Sheriff Joseph G. Sharp has been the
special protege Of the Mouth in this
matter, and yet he must also come un.
der its condemnation where it says, in
speaking Of the legal proposition, that
''the law was being fagrantly violated
every hour of the day But, if this
is true, it shows a reckless and amaz"
ing disregard by the Sheriff of the or
der of the court, directed to this same
sheriff, ordering him 10 see that tine
injunction OF the court was enforced,
which forbids the traffic that is so pro-
nounced by the Mouth TO be in
dulgcd in every hour of the day, in de-
hauce of the law and Of the special
court order given TO the sheriff TO be
enforced 1t is hard blow on the
sheriff by The Mouth -
This assaiIing of both of the attor-
neys who are prosecuting this case, and
Of the sheriff, who should be enforcing
the injunction of the court. afford
reasonable ground for inferring that

ing's issue, and whose complaint Of un-
fair treatment it hastens to make pub

said of the "MouthN in this business
is that it is on the fence, with strong
Ieanings toward the stockade. and in
active support Of the "Queen of the

call its blackmailing prohibition cam

ITS SOUR SUGAR DENIAL

The Descret News last night put in
more than plenty denials of the ac.
curacy Of Senator Clay Of Georgia in
his statements about President Joseph
+. Smith But il is noteworthy that it
made no corrections, produced no re.
futmg facts. II urged the Senator ;,

dense ignorance Of Utah affairs that
! still exists outside this State But
good many people inside this State

! may or may not be correct as 10 thc
salary which Joseph T. Smith gets AS
! president Of tho sugar factories; but tho
News gives no figures whereby The err
rcr, If there is any. could bc corrected.
1t simply rails md denies. without
aiding In getting nj the truth in any
matter it disputes.
We do not know what Mr.. Smith
| gets for his services as president or
tho local branch of the sugar trust ;
but that he is well paid is not an evil
or unreasonable suggestion. Ii NAV be
that the News considers this one Of the
stories published by Tho Tribune, but
made up of whole cIoth;' but certainly
III Is talr TO assume it, since he is un-
qucstionably the president of the sugar
companies, and it is the rule 10 nav
such officials
The fact that President Smith con-
trolls and cocrces by his HcounscI;, tho
sugar beet raisers, is clear; for every
season there is an incipicnt revolt of
rhe bect-raIscrs at raising bcets for
the low price they get. and every sea
son that revolt is snufTcd out by Presi-
dent Smith. II is such a regular oc
currcnce. that when the news of the
revolt comes, the usual comment in the
news department is that it won Z
amount to anything. FOR President
Smith will squelch it when he Gets
ready.
The fact that formerly ton of bccts
would pay for hundred weight Of
sugar, while now the ton Of bcets will
pay for but sevcnty.fve pounds Of
sugar is a striking fact that must at
tract the attention of the beet raiscrs.
And those raiscrs of bcets know bet
ter than any one else can tell them,
that President Smith could have kept
mp that former relation of ton of
beets to hundred weight of sugar if
he had wanted to do so, He could
either have paid more for the bccts or
charged less for the sugar He is and
has been in position to relieve the
bcet-raIscrs from oppression By his
trust. But he chose not 10 do so. but
TO oppress them for the advantage of
his gilt-edged sugar company sccuri-
ties, And since he has refused TO pro.
feet the beet raisers, bat rather chose
to oppress them. he has no right to
find fault on being arraigncd for his
selfish avarIclousness. AS a "high
1iuancicrf he must bear fhe fair crifi-
cism which his high fnancicring justly
provokes.

A REVIEW OF CHURCH FALsITY.

| The Church organ finds the usual
fault with our article on Governor
| Spry' referring TO local affairs in con.
ncction with the peace meeting in the
! Synagogue last Sunday evening. The
Governor said that we ought first TO
have peace among ourselves. and then
with clean hands we could 60 10 the
! world in support Of the peace movement
for all mankind. To this we replied,
practically in the words Of Attorney
General Wickcrsham. when in answer
10 the complaint of "thc war on cor
poraiions,' - said:
Wc have frequently Of late from repre-
Seutatircs Of certain business interests
of ihc country heard cries OF "l.ct us
nave peace, Let us alone" The price
Of peace Is obedience 10 the law: those
who honestly try 10 keep the law need
not fear prosecution.
In exactly the same spirit we said IN
commenting upon Governor spry's re-
marks
is that lawlcss living be given up. that
tho paralyzing of tho courts In behalf
Of criminals must cease: that the dead
that tho people be left absolutely free
from pricstcraft and nrIestly domination
in 'hci politics, their business and in
domination over all things and all men
and women in every concern Of life, and
refuge and guide, then there will be no
contention in Utah; for the reign of
peace viii then have already come.
And this worries the church organ cx-
ccedingly. IL calls our statement ga
colossal Misrepresentation. when it is
in fact a real and absolutely true pic
ture Of conditions in Utah, And the
News involves itself III its usual mental
tanele when it says that The Tribune
doesn t want peace, which is a gall and
wormwood TO this paper. IL that is so.
then it must be that we desire the con-
tinuancc of lawless living, the further
of thc courts, Ihe perpetual
grip of !"iho dead hand of Islam, - the
further domination Of priestcraft aud
of the lawless priests in politics, bust
ness, civil affairs, and the ordinary
walks Of life; and perpetual church do
minion, and would regret the confning
OF the church 10 spiritual affairs. 1t
must be then not only that The Tribune
speaks absolutely contrary TO lis con-
victio and desires: and further, that
the hierarchy, in keeping up their des-
potic control are in fact playing The |
Tribunc's hand, and doing exactly |
what we desire. To such gross alb
.urdity docs the church organ s "argu !
neut" lead!

The church organ insists that when
We demand the cessation of lawless liv-
ing we mean only polygamous living,
called in the law unlawful cohabitation.
This is wholly unwarranted assump-
ton. We make no limitation whatever
as to observance of the law, holding
that II should be obeyed by all. and
enforced equally upon all, including the
vile denizcns OF Commercial street,
whose lives the church organ (not The
Tribune) promptly proceeds to set by the
side of polygamous living. II is indeed
a sign of the hypocrisy of those who
claim divine revelation for polygamy
that they now, and always have, set
it off. in their arguments, as the Nor
mon way of dealing with the sexual
immortality of the world at large, and
that they always compare 1T with that
when the question comes up. And the
church organ finds il just as natural to
bring the two into juxtaposition as the
Mormon writer's Of the past have so
habitually done But The Tribune con-
sidcrs that such way Of presenting
the case Is shocking. though the Nor
mon writers OF the present and the
past find il so easy and natural. But
there is no truth whatever in the
church organs assumption that The
Tribune confines its demand for the
enforcement Of the law TO one or to a
few classes of offcpses or offenders. On
the contrary. our demand has been con-
slant and consistent for the equal en-
forcement of all the laws, all the time,
against any who transgress them.
