THE "HUSH WORD.'

While Apostle Reed Smoot is a Sen
ator of the United States, it is always
worth remembering that he was obliged
TO ask of Utah $ chief lawbreaker per
mission to become such.
And yet they say that the Mormon
hicrarcbs arc not in politics-that they
don; Z interfere or attempt to dominate
the franchise of American citizenship
here. There is an interesting story,
however, concerning that-and one TO
which President Nephi l.. Morris Of
the Salt Lake stake Of Zion will be
able to subscribe, as The Tribune will
now recite it. Every voter hereabouts
Will remember when it was that a
great prohibition movement was
launched by the lesser lights OF the
Mormon church. There is no man with
a memory at all who will forget that
the tabernacle wonderful resolution,
and which was adopted, declaring the
Mormon church to be forever COM
mtted against too free use of drink
Nor is there, in all Israel, man who
Will not recall that the Deseret News,
in fit of far-fetchcd virtue, spoke
roundly and with unafraid opcnness
against the sort of saloon run by the
hated outsider But, even the
children know that the church "pro-
hibition" movement fell fat; yet only
few men know why.
Nephi l.. Morris was brave adyo-
cate of the cause-in fact, the resolu-
tica presented in the tabernacle by
Heber j. Grant was not of Heber ! 8
making. The earnest committee which
had the whole matter in hand had
laid their plans-as had those Mormon
members thereof who had induced a
certain number Of Gentiles to Join with
them in order to give the aggregation
some semblance of respcctabllity. On
one day, when the fight had become
particularly warm, Elder James III
Anderson otherwise known as "Fussy
Jimmy alias the United States
Marshal Anderson brought into the
committee room III the Deseret Ma
tional bank building some hush word.
He had, along with Presiding Bishop
Charles w. Nibley. becr appointed

GOV. HASKELL TOO PREVIOUS.

Governor Haskell appears to have
been somewhat previous in his moving
of tho capital Of his State from Guthrie
| 10 Oklahoma, and the State is call
lore up" about it. The fact appears
to be that the people voted TO have
tho capital transferred as Governor
Haskell has undertaken to do, but Gov
ernor Haskell began the Job of NOV
ing before the preliminaries had been
gone through with. He saw the first
reports of the vote, and took that to
mean that the move must be made
right away. Hc did not even wait for
| the returns to come in, nor for the Of
| fetal count to bo made, much less did
he wait for any stated time to mako
the move, though the States enabling
act might well have caused delay. lie
made his move right away Oh the first
| returns
The fact that these first reports are
altogether likely TO be the same as the
final report, and to agree substantially
with the official count, cuts no figure
In the argument that Governor Haskell
| should have waited reasonable time
for the usual preliminaries to have been
gone through with. 1t is often danger,
Gus to undertake to make official moves
until tho official canvass and the pre-
liminarics have been complied with !;
and 1T is because he undertook this pre-
clpitous action and besides, the courts
are likely to sustain the ruling already
made. that the clause of the enabling
act which continues the capital at Guth-
rie until 1913 cannot be controverted,
that he is experiencing so much trou-
bic in making the move.
He did not, to be sure, take quite as
premature view Of the ease as one
Of the Judges of the District Court did
in Utah, when he declared that the pro-
visions OF the Constitution extending
suffrage TO women were already in
force even before the Constitution con
fcrring it had been voted upon. But
tho same order,
1T appears to be Governor Haskell Is
Ill fortune TO be always engaged in
ructions. He has had lots Of trouble.
He had trouble with President Roose-
welt, who put him in the Ananias class !;
he has had trouble with the Federal
courts, and Judge Marshall of the Utah
Federal District has been over there to
sit on Haskell IS case. He has had trou~
BILE with the bank guarantee law and
even went to the unprecedented extent
of forbidding any details being public
Of bank failure i'll Oklahoma City for
fear that the bank guarantee law would
be too much ventilated and become un-
popular. And now he is in trouble
about the capital removal.
1t would appear. however, that in all
his troubles he is the main trouble
breeder, and we should think that the
people of Oklahoma would be glad when
his term expires so that they can give
him furlough from official life that
would last during the period of his nat
ural existence.

s'TIIE PROPER SOURCE.

It was on Thursday, May 10, 1910
that joint meeting of the first presi-
dcncy and the twelve apostles of tho
Mormon church was held in tho round
room of the Salt Lake temple. 1t must
be said, however, that the apostles
quorum wasn't full-Reed Smoot was
making speeches in other places. This
introduction is only for the purpose of
showing to the public what might hap
pen at such meetings.
In every hand was q copy of The
Tribune OF date Of April %, 1910,
That paper contained list of one
hundred and four new poIygamists.

ruction over the fact that so many
crimes had been committed under the
old Mormon law that had not as yet
been punished. either under the disci-
pline of the Mormon church, or under
the church-dominated law of Utah.
The three strenuous apostles-who
champioDed the hitherto expressed dis
gust of the late President John r..
Winder-found some encouragement in
the thought that perhaps a word of
honor would be good, even in a Joint
meeting of the first presidency and the
twelve apostles of the Mormon church,
But they seemed TO have reckoned
without their file leader. because John

is not proper to let your left hand

apostles attempted TO haul Apostle
Tony lvins over the Goals, John Henry

criticism of apostles on account of new
polygamy. that criticism would come

Within the next five years, these conservative and

fold The influence of the entrance of the great rail
roads is already being felt in prices in these CONNER

Tacoma-and this very commercial district where
TAHOMA FACTORY SITES are located--has been
selected by all the roads entering the great North
western country the terminal. 1t is not matter
of generosity unselfsh interest in this City that
prompts the roads to thus center here the facilities
are better-that's all. Already the roads have APP
propriated $12,000000 for development work here
1t requires no particularly astute mind to guess
what the result will be- These very lots in TAHO-

O'Clock last night the steel cable
slipped on the drum and the car

men suggested that the roof OF the

II took half an hour for several
workmen TO get on the top OF the
car. They Jet down a stepladder
from the sixth floor. and the occu-
pantss OF the car clambered up on
