FULLY vINDICATEs HIMSELF.

Elsewhere In this issue of The Trib-
une we present letter written by the
Hon. William G.. A. Smoot.
We commend this communication to
the attentive perusal of all men
and women, and all youths, who
may have opportunity to read it.,
because 1t is the sincere outgiv-
ing of an honest and honorable
man. It was written by Mr., Smoot
In reply to an. editorial article
which recently appeared in the morn
ing organ of the Mormon ecclesiasts
and in which the splendid old gentle
man was assailcd on account of certain
statements made by him at the banquet
given by the American party on March
II. As 10 what the statements were,
and Mr. Smoot s defense of them, The
Tribune is content to have the reader
go over the letter carefully, and with
tho object in view of Judging as to
wherein lies the absolute truth.
There are one or two matters, some
what aside from and yet connected with
the original purpose Of the communica-
tion, that we have mind to briefly
review here, One is the surmise of
Bishop Smoot that the article appearing
in the Herald Republican was not writ
ten by the editor of that paper, or by
any one officially connected with it,,
but that it was probably penned by
some feeder at the tithing house crib.
1t is Il fact that at the office of the
whose special duty it is to record the
names of all those who "pcrsecute the
church. The late A. Milton Musser held
that place for many years; but since his
demise there is successor in the office
of official ecclesiastical blacklister. In
all likelihood it may have been this in
dividual who put forth the editorial ar
ticle against Mr.. Smoot which "the
authorities commanded the Aaronic
organ Of the church to print. 1t would
be difficult to entertain doubt that Mr..
Smoot IS conjecture in this matter is
correct; because Mr.. Smoot is thorough
" conversant with the methods of the
Melchisedeks. And our knowledge con
cerning the ways and the wiles of the
cult tends to approval Of the bishop s
opinion in the matter
Then there is the manner in which
he was ousted from the bishopric of the
Sugar House ward Old residents of
that ecclesiastical subdivision will say
today that they held Bishop Smoot in
the highest affection. He was an hon
est man, and they loved him for his
honesty. He had defended them against
the proposed inroads of the higher ec-
clesiasts, which would have had the eff.
feet of impoverisbing them far beyond
their existing condition, and they hon.
orcd him for this protection. He had
sought always TO give them Justice, and
the little flock was happy and fairly
prosperous. Members of the ward re-
membered his charities: they recalled
his industrial efforts in their behalf;
they recollected the helping hand that
was always outstretched to assist, them
over the rough places; they knew Of the
little acts Of goodness that he had per-
formed and attempted to hde-they
loved the man as man. and they stood
ready 70 ocr-~l u IA in his place. Had

up the price of coal and adding little
to the price from time TO time. The
real outcome of all this official nagging
is that the coal consumers must have
TO pay exorbitant prices for their coal, ,
while the coal companies, sensing fully
the advantage they derive from the
Government 8 action in stamping out
competition by holding on TO coal lands
and preventing the opening of any new
mines on large scale, urge Govern
ment restriction and oppression as the
reason why they must keep up the
price of coal, and in their sleeves laugh
both at Government and consumer
alike. 1t is u most exasperating, un-
businesslike situation altogether, but
no remedy is in sight as long as the
present sentimentality prevails.

STILL RUNNING THE FAKE.

Here it is again. Just as we were
about to forget the trumpery "lnvestI~
gation'' of Secretary Ballinger, and
glad to forget it. there is fresh erup-
ton from the old sulphurous vent. 1T
is silly sort of inquiry altogether, one
that has resulted in nothing save to
show how much of an uproar can be
created about nothing. The complain
ants have not been able TO show that
their zeal In any way protected the
public, or saved anything to the Ma
ton. Their "facts' were mere impress
sions or prejudices, their knowledge -
myth. They made large promises,
but small performances. Their cam
paiCn of hate and slander was d fzzlc.
II was based wholly on their practices
of supplemcnting the law by executive
order, or regulation without law for its
basis. and on the incoming of regime
where the law was observed, that usurp-
alton was bound to fail.
In the revival Of the fake inquiry,
however, there is an occasional gleam
of light which shows some of the queer
results Of the policy hitherto pursued.
In yesterday mornings Tribune we
had among long series Of more or
less important inquiries and replies, the
Illuminating statement that the Gug-
genheims are operating their railroad
in Alaska. with British Columbia coal,
because the Government won t allow
them to mine and use the coal of Alas
ka. An interesting situation, truly.
The Government refuses to do anything
for Alaska, denies the people there the
necessary legislation TO enable them
10 work efficiently, refuses them the
usual (or any othcr) form of local
self government, and keeps the pio-
necrs there from the use of the native
coal. 1t is Il shameful outrage TO treat
Il people thus who are endeavoring to
open up new country that is diff
cult TO develop even under the most
favorable circumstances. But so far
from aiding in this vast and needed dc
velopment, it appears that the Govern
ment Is doing all that it can to ham
per and prevent il.
And that brings us to the point that,
so far as coal is concerned, we arc suf
fering here from the same sort of Gov
ernmental stupidity and oppression.
The price of coal is up beyond all rea.
son here. One great factor in this un-
fair situation is the menace which the
Government holds over the coal com

EASTER JOYoUSNESS.

The great and joyous Christian fes-
| tival is with us again IN the rolling
round of the years. 1t is always Joy
Gus festival, vet solemn also, in the
stupendous thought of the divine sac
rifice for the redemption of mankind.
Lent is over, and yet the lessons in
tended to be inculcated by Lent should
never be over. AS the true keeping
of Lent is not in vain observance, but
in heart purified and made true to
the heavenly compass, so the lesson of
Lent is i'll learned if it does not teach
TO keep the heart true TO course and the
soul clean from evil and uncharitnble.
ness.
Yet this is quite in line with a JOY
that is full of gratitude for the great
redemption of which this anniversary
is the symbol The true lesson OF Lent
goes we'll with the perfect observance
of Easter Both are one In feeling, in
intent, and in their effects upon the
human heart, when the heart is rightly
attuned to the divine harmony of the
system of salvation provided for man
kind.
IL is the universal custom in Chris
tian lands TO observe this day with
Joy, gladness, and praise for the great
things which it typihes for the human
race. 1t is the natural feeling OF the
Christian to feel that this is the great
day of days for him; the day through
which heavenly Joy is made accessible
TO him, and through which he may rise
to a sublime hope from the deep gulf
of despair.
And so we all observe the day with
Joy, as is beftting, and with such
cleansing of the heart as has been pos
sible, enter upon the natural new year
Win triumph IN UHs IeueInpl'pH Pio'
vided through the blood of the Savior,
That this cleansing may last throughout
the wear, and be effectual in the daily
walk and life, and so true that all will
see and believe, must be the hope and
trust Of every believer If not. his
belief is vain, and he is made to mock
at sacred things.
But we shall all hope for the thor
ouph and permanent redemption from
evil here and now, that BELTS the sea-
son, and that must last or he In vain,
Let none falter, but press on to the
best and purest enjoyment of this great
Joyous festival, and so exempllfy every
day and in every act, that redemption
has really come, For, redemption
that is postponed from year to year,
the Easter lesson not taking hold for
that redemption, may fail at the last. To
be redeemed, be redeemed now And
that is the true teaching both of Easter
and of Lent

Said Candidate Dix About
Theodore Roosevelt Today
ACCEPTING NOMINATION
He Declared That Now We Have the
Chance to Stay the March Of This
Agent of Destruction
Spoken at Thomson, N. Y.

Thomson, N Y, Oct l2.-"Any Amer
lean, who, occupying a position of au-
thority, assails and attacks our courts,
which now, as they always have been,
are seats of justice and equity, is to be
regarded as a public enemy and should
be so branded by any reasonable man."
John Alden Dix, Democratic nominee for
governor, when formally notified of his
nomination at his home here to-day,
thus attacked Theodore Roosevelt, who,
he claimew, forced the nomination of
Henry J.. Stimson by discussing new
nationalism."
MIR Dix characterized Roosevelt as ''an
apostle of discord and dissension" and
said: I'VE have before us now what
may be our only opportunity to stay
the march OF this agent of destruction
and restore the country at large to tran
guilty and peace"
The formal notification was attended
by many Democratic politicians OF New
York, special train having been run
for their accommodation, and they will
return to New York late this afternoon
Candidate Dix promises to remain quiet
ly at his home here, letting his oppo-
nent, Mr.. Stimson, and Colonel Roose-
welt go about the state actively par
tieipating. 1t is said that almost all
