ly and some innocent Outstanding in
dustry is going to be hurt.
They claim that Doc" Cook is
getting in line for the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency in
1912. A man who can put as beau
tiful a face on a lie as DOC" did
on that North Pole" yarn certainly
would find himself at home telling
the people that the party which has
stood for free labor, free trade and
free silver would be the best party
to entrust with the destinies of
free people. 1t requires a man with
an adjustable veracity to do a thing
like that and Doc" Cook has the
goods.
A pessimentic man is usually one,
who lives under a petticoat govern
ment at home, and reflects his sup
pressed feelings when away from
home.
You are. just beginning to have
little sense when you refuse to at

beer, dried beef, summer sausage and
cheese.
The average man comes very near
being an idiot in taking care of
himself. You see him wearing a fur
cap on his head while his shoes let
in snow and ice water He wears
an overcoat on his back and nothing
but a thin shirt over his chest. He
is terribly alarmed about freezing
his fingers, while his throat is ex-
posed to billiards., and he is often
ailing or thinks he is. It's herb tea,
corn tea, Peters pills, Pauls tonic,
Browns Cordial Smiths plaster or
poultices, until the balance wheel in
the machine comes to a stop. Ma
ture wants to keep going but she
can't. Some foolish fellows drink
whiskey and that clogs the valves; he
drinks beer and that clogs the wheel;
he pours down lemonade, ice water,
tea, coffee, and the Lord knows what
else, and then wonders why the fires
under the boiler do not burn. Now
if you would take an OK or a horse
or even hog and put him through
that course of spirits he'd be dead in
year. Yet man, the capstone of
creation, outrages the plainest and
simplest laws of health every day.
Did Adam smoke? Did Eve wear
patent health corsets? Did Solomon
chew, smoke and spit? Did the
children of Israel make for a beer
garden as soon as they crossed the
Red Sea? Did Rebecca eat gum
drops and ice cream and wash them
down with soda water? Adam was
the first man, and was made perfect
from head to foot. How long would
he have kept so after eating a mince
pie before going to bed? Suppose
he slept in a bed room with the win
dows down, door shut, and a dog
under the bed? Suppose Eve had
laced herself up in a corset, put on
tight shoes with high heels, sit up
all hours of the night eating trash
and playing bridge? Had our first
parents done all these things, how
many of us would be here to read
THE CITIZEN? When you come to
look at it squarely in the face, at the
way mankind treats himself, we can
only wonder how any of us ever es-
capped and are living to read this ar
ticle. Dear Reader, let us cut out
some of our foolishness this COM
ing year.

MIR. BARRY IN PEARSoN's.

In the September Pearson s Maya
zine is a very strong article by Mr.
Richard Barry, who speLt some time
in this city last spring investigating
certain social and political problems,
the latter especially as presented by the
attitude of the Mormon priesthood in
its assumption of political and civil rule.
1t is entitled tThe Political Menace
Of the Mormon Church. The article
shows that from the first political domi-
nance was the dream of "the prophet, -
Joseph Smith. 1t shows that it was
not only the dream but the practice of
Brigham Young, and that the aim and
object constantly kept in mind by the
Mormon leaders has been and is to have
a political foundation in Utah and
neighboring States that would give
them influence in the Nation and finally
the balance of power and therefrom
control of the Republic. And this ar
ticle. which is strong and well written,
will be followed in the October num-
ber of Pearson s by an article on the
prevalence of the practice of polygamy
throughout the Mormon jurisdiction
and showing how political control of
those States permits this violation OF
civilized custom aud law. 1t will also
show the evil influence of the Mormon
church on the women of the West by
deadening the moral sentiment of sc
many of them with respect to the prac
tice of polygamy.
| There are some blemishes in the ar
ticle which could easily be corrected by
little revision. On page 800 there i:
an apparent commingliug of the move
ments Of the army under johnson will
those of the forces sent from the wei
under General Connor. The two nigh
have been more clearly separated, as the,
should be, and it would be easy to dt
this. Again, on page 326 of the magn
zine, he speaks OF the .aanifesto a
having been issued by President Snow
instead of by President Woodruff Ant
(page 32l) the Smith quotation is in
exact. These lapses will of course b
seized upon with glee by the Mormon
writers and apologists as sufficient rea
son to discredit the whole article; bu
those conversant with the sitdation will
easily sec that these minor discrepan
cies in no way affect the trutbfulnes
and general faitbfulness of the pre-
sentation, Mr.. Barry is writer o
ability and of force. He was here lon
enough TO get at the "true inward
ness Of the situation, and has got a
it in admirable form. We commend tn

ELDER oKEY, CELESTIALIlER.

There are SO many of those cases Of
new polygamy that it is not to be won
dered at that The Tribune is unable
to recall them all at once. Besides, TO
treat them all in one article would be
beyond the ordinary newspaper capac-
lty. We trust that this explanation of
an apparent neglect of him will be ac.
cepted in the proper spirit by Elder
William Okey.
Elder Okey is a prominent citizen of
Nephi, Utah. He is well-to.do and
more or less we'll liked by his neigh.
bors and fellow citizens. We arc led
to say this because the said neighbors
and fellow citizens attribute to him d
fine ability to take good care of any
dollar or lesser coin that might hap

perfect right TO do, even if it does
render him bit illiberal But that is

FERNsTRoM ON PERSONALITIES

1t is not easy to gather Councilman
Ferpstrom IS point of view when he pro-
tests that he has made no personal as
saults upon any member of the Coun-
ell. In reply to Mr.. Mulyey's sugges-
tion, 'tI don t suppose you have ever
attacked any other member of this
Council personality" Mr.. Fernstrom
replied, "I challenge anyone to show
that l have ever done so." And this
right after he had opened the ball him
self by proclaiming Councilman Mulvey
to be a law breaker, in effect GRIM
inal. And yet that was not a personal
attack upon Mr.. Mulvey, accord
ing to Fernstrom! But when Mulvey
very naturally retorted upon Fernstrom
for his assault, calling him liar, that
was deeply personal and offensive o.
Mr.. Fernstrom during the same ses'
attack upon a church Republican jus
tice of the peace for holding that slot
machines are not gambling devices; and
Fernstrom further said that it looked
to him as though the police department
| was in league with the saloons in vio
| lating the law. He also suggested that
the presiding officer Of the Council was
attempting gag rule because that pre-
siding officer did not see fit to sum
mon in the police when the police were
not under investigation.
| 1t would seem. therefore, that Mr.
Fernstrom swept the gamut Of personal
tiles from calling fellow Councilman
law breaker to arraigning a church
Republican justice OF the peace, theI
the presiding officer of the Council, and
finally the whole police department a:
in league with saloonkeepers for VIC
lating the law. That seems to be rath
er a vigorous personal campaign Of
obloquy for man who during the same
session took pains to explain that hc
never INDUCED in personalities. Still
Mr.. Fernstrom is good deal like some
other church dignitaries; you can nev
er know what he means by what hi
says. All that can be done in hi:
case is to show to the public what he i

THE MANIFESTO AS A TRICK,

Many times it has been said by Nor.
mons themselves that there are numer-
Gus interpretations placed upon the
Woodruff manifesto of 1890, as to its
real meaning and scope.
That there are such is evidenced in
the fact that there are two different
modes of matrimonial practice under
the document. But perhaps President
John Henry Smith has got at the intent
that is mostly attributed to the mani.
festo by those who are naturally or
by teaching and training given to the
thought and practice of polygamy. Not
long after the manifesto was issued,
John Henry gave it out plainly to a
gentleman of his acquaintance, with
whom he was walking at the time, that
the church issued that document as a
trick to beat the devil at his own
game,
Now, it must be apparent to all, in
view of the renewed and increasing
practice Of polygamy in the Mormon
church, that this Interpretation of the
intent of the manifesto as given by
j ohm Henry Smith is very largely ac.
cepted as the correct one. Apostles
John w. Taylor and Matthias F. Cowley
had an Interpretation of their own; and
that was that the document inhibited
polygamous practices in the United
States alone. and that a man could still
90 to foreign country and take new
wives. This they did numerously, but
of late they have varied their practice
AT least, such is the case with John
w, Taylor, for he married the Sand
berg girl polygamously in this city last
year.
There is one significant thing about
all these different interpretations. Nc
matter in which way the manifesto is
viewed, however varied may be the diff
ferent meanings attributed, those who
entertain those differing views have bul
one practice-they continue to marry

THE COAL COMBINE.

The board of education of this city
appears to be in hard luck with regard
to its contract for supply of coal for
the schools. For two times now the
board has advertised for coa bids, and
both times has received identical figures
from all of the coal supply companies
that have power to fill the contract,
This can, mean but one thing, a com
blnatlon and agreement on prices
throughout. 1t is not easy to see what
the board can do about it. 1t cannot
get coal except from these companies
that are in the combine, Pcrhans, how
ever, 1T can give the contract to a com.
the schools with n member of the board
of education, and so will help by that
much TO break uD the combine that has
evidently been formed partly because
of the action of the board hitherto in
its awarding of coal contracts.
Possibly if the board should make
an award to a company or firm that is
not considered by some of the bidders
as in the least likely to get the award
there might be such CONSERVATION ano
scrambling as would bring some of the
dealers to their senses. The board has
a good opportunity now to indict blow
on the combine by doing something
that the combine has evidently moi
reckoned upon, and that would be &
surprise to it. We do not expect thai
the board could reap any advantag,
from this during the present schoo
year, but at least it could lay the fonn
dation for genuine competition in th'
future
