THORNTON VISITED BY
A DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE
Entire Business Part of Town
Laid in Ruins.
Loss 100000. in Part Insured--
Town to Be Rebuilt Better Than
Before Resurvey and Change of
Main Thoroushfare.

At 8 O'Clock Monday evening our
neighboriDg town of Thornton went up
In fire and RmOke-that is, the business
portion OF the town. The fire caught
from gasoline stove in the store OF R.
U. Miller, and spread with great rapidity,
all structures being wooden with the ex-
ceptiOn OF the bank, there being no fire
apparatus with which to fight the flames.
MIR. Miller states that he thought the
fire was out in the stove when be left the
store, but he must have been mistaken.
From Seymour Manning, who went to
Thornton Tuesday morning to look after
his grain interests, we learn that the
total loss will amount to at least $780,
600, covered by insurance of between
$40, 1000 and $4,000. Individual losses
are as below given:
E Stone, dwelling, $500.
G Grant, dwelling, $1,000.
6 " Young, confectionery, etc $1,000.
K Q Miller, confectionery, etc, $500.

Thorntonites Will Rebuild.
1t is pleasing to note that the people
| OF Thornton are not cast down, but will
rebuild at once, Instead of one brick
building as heretofore at least three
will rise from the ruins-Holt, Kyle and
the bank officials expressing their inten-
tion OF erecting solid business houses.
The warehouses, containing 25O,OOO
bushels OF wheat, and the o. r. & N. de-
pot were saved after hard fight.
The public school buildiag OF Thorn
ton lost its piano, it being in the town
hall at the time OF the fire and was con-
sumed. 1t was the purpose to move it
to the school building Saturday, but for
some reason it was not done.
ResurVey of the Town.
4 resurvey OF the town will be made
at once. Main street will be pushed far
ther up the hillside where the alley now
runs, people giving ground for that pur
pose.
Thornton is IS miles north OF CoIfax
and contains about 800 people. The
Inland electric road between here and
Spokane, and the O. R. & n pass through
the town. 1t is also within easy touch
OF the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railway, making it a shipping
point of Importance. Furthermore, it ia
in the heart of the great wheat belt OF
the PalOuse country, surrounded by
farms and orchards showing the wealth
of the country and fecundity of the soil.

SILLY FRoTH ABOUT A DEAL >,

The Smoot organ wears itself ont in
frantic jumping about and yelling
about an alleged deal between the
American party and the Democrats
But everybody knows the absolute fond
ness of that organ for a fake and a
falschood. and SO little attention will
be paid by any voter to the frantic
yells from that source.
When 1t first sprung it's idiocy about
deal between the American party and
the church Democrat party, the absurd.
ity of such 4 thing was its own answer.
There is no more room for deal be
tween tho American party and the
church Democratic party than there is
for deal between the American party
aud the church Republican party. The
American party opposes tho church in
politics whether it calls itself Demo
cratic or Republican. There is not the
slightest difference, from the American
standpoint, between church control uu-
der the one name and church control un-
der the other. Tho conflict is between
the church in politics and the American
party. 1t is a plain, straight ISSUE
The American party wishes to free the
State and every part of it from church
civil and political control. 1t wants the
church to confinc its activities to its
church affairs, and let public affairs
alone, to be managed by the people,
free from any interference, in their own
way, and for their own purposes and
benefit,
The issue is SO plain, it has been so
constantly reiterated, that it is simply
idiocy for any claim to be made at this
late day that tho American party is in
IN alliance with any church party, no
difference under what name that church
m rfv nAy sail.

NO CHURCH IN POLITICS,

AT that big prohibition mass conven~
tiop which WAS held in the Salt Lake
thcater on February "a, 1909, President
Nepbi Ia Morris of the Salt Lake stake
of Zion openly told the people that he
had used his influence with the Nor
mon people in favor Of the Republican
party, because he was for prohibition,
and because he thought he was going
to get it through that party. Upon
that particular point he said:
I shall only ask the Democrats OF Salt
Lake county to vote the Republican
county and judicial TICKET, and vote their
own State and National ticket as they
please.
II would be interesting to know from
President Morris how he is going to
throw his influence this year. No doubt
he has the ability to sway large mum.

1T IS CAUGHT LYING AGAIN.

The church organ last night re-
vamped its twcnty-year old story about
The Tribune editorially indorsing the
sentiment that freedom was desirable
even though it led the young people
to billiard halls, saloons and houses Of
i'll fame as more powerful reforming
agencies here in Utah than churches,
schools or even than The Tribune. AS
we have explained several times when
this hoary old falsehood was dug up
by the News, The Tribune simply quot
ed the expression Of person who said
those things. 1t was not The Tribune s
sentiment then. 1t has never been
The Tribune g sentiment This the
News knows of a certainty, and yet
from time to time it digs up that old
faschood and springs it upon tho public
as something from The Tribune.
We take notice Of it again simply for
the purpose of denying the whole mat

arc concerned and posting the reviver
of it as willful and contemplate

GREAT ROOM FOR DODGING.

After all, 1T is not certainty that
the Mormon people will mind what
President Francis NJ. Lyman told them
at Logan last Sunday concerning new
polygamy The Deseret News has here
toforo advised them on that subject,
As may be seen by the following, which
we take from an editorial in its issue
OF April ., 1904.
People who think the Lattcr-d day Saints
ers on any occasion as ''thc word Of
Cod" are entirely mistaken. IT Is only
when they speak under the power and
influence Of the Holy Ghost that the
word and will OF the Lord arc manifested,
So that any Observation-Disclosures ol-
der will still go his polygamous way if,
in his opinion, Apostle Lyman was not
speaking "under the power and influ-
encc of the Holy Ghost And, any
way. Mr.. Lyman has said frequently
that there is only one man on the earth
who has right to deliver "tbc word
Of the Lord" to the people; and that
at the present time that man is 10.
scpH +. Smith, Under that assump.
ton, the word of Apostle Lyman will
carry little weight.
They do saw, though. that there is
one certain condition that has mucb b
to do with President Lyman S MOUTH
ness He is feeling somewhat pcart
these days, because he is in fairly good
health. while Joseph f. is failing fast
Lyman is biding his time to become
king of the Mormon kingdom of God
and in the interim is practicing up on
the vicegereut business, so that when
the prophet job comes to him he will
have had his hand in.
No one loves the vulture, nor docs
any man have high esteem for the jack
all; and we have 10 doubt that Apos-
tie Francis NJ, Lyman is nowhere held
in very high regard

BOOTS. SHOES, AND HIDES.

The Smoot organ yesterday morning
showed It's ignorance on the tariff dues,
ton in undertaking 10 make a state
ment about boots and shoes It's ignor-
ance was manifest both as to the pop
ular attitude towards the law. and the
facts which govern. Its effort to yoke
the American party with the Democratic
party on this question was so awkward
and foolish that mere mention of the
effort is It's refutation. Tint organ
stated that the price of boots and shoes
had risen during the past six months,
In spite Of the fact that hides are ad-
mltted duty free But it is only raw
and nncured hides that are admitted
duty free, As soon as they are made
into grain. buff or split leather they
all boots and shoes made wholly or in
part from cattle hides or cattle or calf
skins of whatever weight shall pay
duty Of 10 per cent ad valorem; while
harness, saddles and saddlery in sets or
in parts, finished or unfinished. com
posed wholly or in chief part of leather
shall pay duty of 90 per cent ad val
orem.
The result is that the hide and leath-
er trust takes to itself the profit CORE
spending to the amount Of duty re-
leased, and makes the American people
pay the amount Just the same as when
the duty was on This seems to be
something that the inexpcrt writer's in
behalf of the bunko tariff law are not
Informed about. Tt has been stated Of
ten enough so that they ought to realize
the fact that the tariff was framed cs-
pecially in the interest Of tho trusts
and combines, Not only the trusts aud
combines before made, but that it en-
courages, fosters and makes profitable
the formation of other and new trusts
trusts that makes the tariff law odious,
increases the prices in this specific in
stance as the Smoot organ admits, on
boots and shoes, but on pretty much
every other commodity in daily use But
1T is not uncommon for an ignorant per-
son writing Of subjects that he does
not understand to fall into Just such a
quagmire as the Smoot organ has fallen
into on this question. To plead that
tho price of boots and shoes has in
creased as an evidence Of the benefit
of the tariff law, when the very argu~
ment against the tariff law is that it
fosters combines and monopolies for
the purpose of raising prices, is one of
those grotesque pieces of mistaken zeal
that the ignorant arc so prone to be
guilty of in their folly. There is no
better evidence of the fraudulent ma
ture of this bunko tariff law than the
very fact that the Smoot organ admits;
for not only the price of boots and
shoes but of everything else has IN
creased by reason of the fostering Oh
trusts and combines that tho bunko
tariff bill so distinctly favors, encour'
ages. and makes so profitable that the
is cursed by them,

sMooT AGAINST ROBERTS.

When Reed Smoot was delegate TO
the Republican National convention
which was held at Chicago in 1904, he
gave out an interview (Junc l6th) IN
which he said, in part:
MY case and that Of Brigham Roberts
are not similar Roberts was polyGa
mist and a laWbreaker, and ought 70
have been unseated. don ininM inat ma
Even the charge that l took an
oath in the Mormon church Whlcn IS
contrary 10 the oath OF ofhce oi a sen
ator is now admitted by my accusers to
be un(oundcd.
1t is difficult to sec how Reed Smoot
could truthfully and earnestly cntor-
tain any cnmity toward lawbreakers
of the class in which Mr.. Roberts finds
himself. Smoot went to lawbreaker
to obtain consent to become candl-
date for the Senatorship which he holds,
He received the benediction of that
lawbreaker, and tbe mastcrful help of
that lawbreaker to procure his election.
In his capacity as an apostle of the
Mormon church he is in close associa-
ton with lawbreakers; and if he lives
up to his pretensions as such. he loves
these Law breakers as himself, There
is no other view to take of it than that
Smoot is a confirmed hypocrito and a
wilful falsliier He would kick Roberts
out Of Congress because he is a law
breaker, and yet accepts favors from
other lawbreakers. 1t is only because
the other lawbreakcrs to whom Smoot
bows the humble head and crooks the
sycophaut knee arc Of a superior eccle-
siastical sort.
And with respect to his statement
concerning the oath that he has taken
in the temple. Smoot is a plain and
unadulteratcd falsiticr, as anybody who
has received his temple cudowments
knows. He has sworn to avenge the
blood of the martyred prophets upon
this Nation; and he has solemnly con.
tractcd to submit to bodily mutilation
and even assassination if he should
falter in that enterprise or reveal the
secrets of the temple, The Tribune
knows this TO be true, and so does Reed
Smoot. This paper is ore of his ac.
cusers. and it never has, and does not
now. admit that the charge is un-
founded

LyMAN's ABoRTIvE sNEAK1NG.

II comes TO The Tribune that the
declaration made by Apostle Francis
NJ. Lyman at Logan on last Sunday,
in which he attempted to fix the op-
erative date Of the Woodruff mani.
festo at April 6, 1904, has provoked
considerable talk among tho Mormon
people, and quite as much disgust as
talk, They all know that the confer.
cnce OF October 6, 1890, adopted the
manifesto which was issued on Septem.
Der 24th preceding, and that this &C.
tioU made that document law Of the
church. Concerning the pronouncemcnt
of Joseph F. Smith which was ratified
by the conference of April s, 1904, tho
Deseret News at the time made special
editorial mention. Ia it's issue of April
I, 1904. the News said;
The most interesting feature Of the
conference WAS the presentation by the
