organized. will be played this after
noon. The contest between Joe Judges
team of Pasadena and the Mccormick
nine, which will be held on the Ray

real baseball from start to finish. Al
though this afternoons game is not d
league affair, it will serve, neVerthe-
less to give the members of the re-
spectiVe mines an idea of the quality OF
baseball which each team is capable
of putting up. The four teams which
compose the league-the Pasadenas,
the McCormicks, the Giants and the
Santa Anas--appear to be evenly
matched, and a pretty race for the
pennant should result. Following are
the names of the officers of the new
league: Les Henry, president; Edward
Crolic of Santa Ana, vice president and
secretary, and James Mccormick,
treasurer. A large number of the
players on the different mines are old

The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1909-11-21
CANNON is FAILING,

The newspapers of this country arc
making n good deal of fun of Mr.,
Speaker Cannon for what he said in his
Bloomington Illinois) speech, about
an attempt to hribe him. He said that
Mr.. Herman Ridder OF the New York
Stats Zeitung offered him the Presi-
dencv of the United States if he would
put through Congress bill repeating
the tariff duty on printing paper. OF
course, Speaker Cannon coldly refused,
saving that he would "destroy him
selfD If he should do what Mr.. Ridder
asked.
Naturally, the preposterous idea that
such proposal should be made by Mr..
Ridder is set Oft against the impossi-
bility of performing such contract. 1t
would be gold-brick offer of the most
idiotic character, quite out OF the ques-
ton on both sides. Mr.. Ridder en-
phatically denies the truth of the story;
he says nothing Of the sort was
discussed, The absurdity Of the whole
story is emphasized by the grave mar.
ration of it by Mr.. Cannon; he must
be drifting into his dotage,
The proposal to put printing paper
on tho free list had been fully consid.
cred by the Ways and Means commit
tee, and turned down. But, as Cannon
relates the story, Ridder argued that
Cannon as Speaker should recognize
some member to move TO suspend the
rules and without regard TO that com.
mittee pass the bill. To this Cannon
says that be replied, Yes, could de-
stroy myself, but / will not, Such a
thing has never been done at such a
time Aud he denounced the idea as

n proposition for 'pop gun Icgisla-
ton.
The whole story is certainly fake.
Nor IS it possible that Speaker Cannon
could himself take il seriously. But
his statement that such thing has
never been done as taking bill out Of
the hands of committee and putting
1t through Congress over the heads of
an unfricndly committee, is also at
fault, For that was precisely what was
done IN the case of the Aidrich-Vrcc.

TO ESTABLISH THEIR "'RIGHTs.

IT seems that "the brethren" have
scheme on TO Establish their rights
as a church,
And that reminds us.
In tho Journal OF Discourses. volume
l. and beginning on page SO, we find
"a discourse delivered by Elder Orson
Pratt, in the tabernacle, Great Salt
Lake City, August 90, 1852" In the
course of that discourse, Elder Pratt
said:
Then, II IL can be proven to demon
stration. that the Lattcr-day Saints have
actually embraced. as q part and portion
OF their religion, the doctrine OF a plural
ity of wives. IL is constitutional. And
should there ever be laws enacted by this
government to restrict them from the
free exercise Of this part OF their religion
such laws must be unconstitutional.
So that it may be quito proper for
the brethren to again 20 ahead and
define their position in an official
way. The Tribune has compelled them
TO confess in several other instances.
and there is no telling but their pres
ent move is for a similar purpose They
are now protected behind tho barrier Of
Statehood, and what is to hinder them
from coming forward with an official
renunciation of the Woodruff mani
festo, and TO explain to the saints and
the rest of the world that this docu-
ment was merely promulgated as an ex-
pedicucy in the service Of the Lords

Professor GiddinGs is q student of

There is very decided tendency here

THE SHARP COAL CASE.

The ruling Of Judge Sanborn in the
L. 5. Circuit Court on the appeal of
what is known as tho Sharp coal case,
from here, could hardly have been anti
cipatcd by any reasonable mind. Judge
Sanborn revcrses tho judgment arrived
at by tho Federal District Court here
on the ground that no conspiracy
against Mr.. Sharp was proved.
And yet the case was so plain, so
perfectly understood, so fully cstab-
lishcd, that it is matter Of amaze
ment TO find it questioned in this way.
Mr. Sharp was driven out of the coal
business by tho refusal of the railroads
TO furnish him coal. The trouble arose
on the matter Of supplying coal for
storage purposes in this city in the sum
mer of 1907 There had been short
age Of coal here during the winters of
tho two previous seasons. Tho rail
roads, in order TO encourage the stor-
ing of coal so there would bc no
shortage in the coming winter offered
reduction OF 30 cents n ton to those
who would buy coal and store il for
winter use. The scheme was that the
purchasers would pay the current prices
when they bought, and in the fall, on
showing that they had the coal actually
stored, would get rebate on it at the
rate of 30 cents a ton. Mr.. Sharp,
however, gave his customers the i'm
mediate advantage of the fifty-cent re-
ductioD. Thercupon the railroads re-
fused to furnish him coal and be had
to go out of business.
The controlling facts in the case were
admitted on the trial here by the de-
PENDANTS. There was never any ques-
ton about the main points. 1t is all
the more remarkable, therefore, that
Judge Sanborn should take the view
that he does. II seems incredible that
that should be the final result of this
extremely plain case, for if the CON
spiracy cannot be established by the
admissions Of the facts by the alleged
conspirators, and the showing of the
effect of the conspiracy In driving a
dealer out of business, then it is, not
easy TO sec how the laws as against
conspiracy in trade can ever be shown
Surely the case Will not be allowed to
rest where it is. An appeal to the
Supreme Court Of the United States
is clearly in order, and the Justices Of
that court will undoubtedly be able
TO see, when the "conspirators ad.
nit the facts which constitute the con-
spiracy, and when the effect of the
conspiracy in breaking up business is
shown-those Justices no doubt will be
able TO see not only that there was
conspiracy, but that it was fully shown
The case was fairly tried here by a
Judge who is at least fully the equal of
Judge Sanborn, and the facts alleged
were clearly shown. The reversal is a
great surprise.

In the country at large the CONNER
are of the first order Business gen,
orally is wonderfully large and pros
porous. There are continued heavy
| purchases in iron and steel at advanc.
ing prices, and reports are made of
premiums for prompt delivery. The
purchase Of rolling stock and other
equipment by prominent railroads IN
enormous quantities is conspicuous
feature, and some congestion of deliv-
cries is noted at the car shops. Trade
continues steady at advancing prices
Cotton goods especially are influential
in this direction.
From the industrial centers general
ly, the report IS Of large output and
of eager demand. Retail trade has
taken on q briskcr appearance with
the coming of cold weather; and the
feeling is optimistic for a trade of
unprecedented volume
In the metals, the leading feature is
the advance in copper In spite of the
tremendous stocks now on hand in the
United States and in Europe. The
latest quotations are $3.50 per hun
dred. and figures approach that with
indications of yet further rise. De
cember copper is quoted at $l3,65, Jan
uary $13.75, February 1885, and March
1890, the London market being firm
and higher also. The story of merger
for big copper producers has greatly
stimulated the demand for the metal,
and the market is in a firm position.

sufficiently powerful TO control it, the
utmost confidence can be felt in the
future of the metal.
The condition of the country com

is very strong. The era of prosperity
IS on us again, in excellent form, and
the immediate future is fully assured.
