GETTING AT PUBLIC OPINION

The Chicago Tribune has been con.
dnctlng canvass among the Repub-
lican and Independent newspapers in
the States of Illinois, Indiana. Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Iowa on two points, One of these is
the question whether Cannon should be
continued as Speaker Of the House. The
other is as to the new tariff law;
whether 1t is Just and proper response
to the pledge in the Republican Nation
al platform.
On the Cannon proposition. The Trib-
une received 2003 answers. OF these.
POD were for Cannon and 1749 against
him.
On the tariff law proposition. 1888
answers were received, of which 446
were for the law and 1887 against it.
This is certainly an overwhelming con
dcmnation of the new tariff law.
When it Is remembered that none but
Republican and Independent newspa.
pers were asked their opinion on these
questions, and that the Republicans are
in overwhelming majority, the result is
In none of the seven States
was there oven anything like semblance
of an equal division of opinion, In
every one Of them, the condemnation of
Cannon and of the new tariff law was
sweeping and complete. Here is the
table made up by our Chicago contem-
porary for the different states named:
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-02-21
GO SLOW ON SALTAIR!

The Tribune has already stated its
position clearly and emphatically in the
matter of the granting of the SataiI
franchise by the City Council. We do
not see that the new-or hank-move
ment made by the Saltair people changes
the situation mt all. The viaduct prom
osition remains as before, u certain
cause of congestion because 1T is too
narrow as it is. and would be altogether
Inadequate for the increased business
proposed. It looks far more like a
speculative than a business PROPOSE
ton The supposition that the
proposition is merely dummy for the
purpose of selling out the privilege of
entering the central part of the city
by some steam railroad is strengthened
by the new move, for it is inconceivable
that the Saltair management would be
able or that it would be profitable for
it, to spend so much money as involved
in this proposition, The Tribune would
be glad TO see this expenditure made on
an open, frank basis, not detrimental
TO the public interests, but we do not see
that the proposition is justified from
either the public or the Saltair stand
point. And. above ali, the city gets
nothing for franchise that is clearly
worth a good many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
1t win, therefore, be becoming in the
City Council to exercise the utmost care
in handling this proposition, and the
only safe thing to do until full under
can be arrived at, and the
matter is more clearly defined, together
with the assurance of widening Of the
Viaduct, and fair return to the city
for the franchise asked, is to refuse to
grant the franchise.
The public of this city is watching
this matter with intense interest. 1t is
a matter of the very highest public
Importance, and the Council cannot af
lord to be complaisant toward this shifty |
which appears to have more
strings to Its bow than a practical, |
straightforward business proposition
Gould possibly need,

izens are guided. There is no higher
source to which loyal citizen of the
United States can look for guidance in
such matters, and he recognizes no other
opinion or decision us being equal, let
alone superior, 10 the final Judgment of
that court. But as indicating the stub
born, unreasonable and totally willful
rebellion OF the Joseph T. Smith mind,
we reproduce the following from this
same letter written by him and printed
III the Deseret News:
Every man with common intelligence
may read the Constitution and laws of
this country. and form his own opinions,
And IL he believes n law to he uncon-
stltutional he has right to test IL. and
when tested II the decision go against
him. he still has tho right TO his judg-
mcnt and opinion, though ne may make
up his mind 10 abide the consequences OF
disobedience TO II.
AS late rs 1904, when he testified
in the Smoot case at Washington, Jo-
seph +, brazenly asserted that he chose
to break the law, assuming a willing
ness to take the consequences. His
boastcd bravery with respect TO re.
suits was false, because he knew that
there would be no consequences mas
much as he controls the operation of
the law in Utah Were there any dan
ger in reality his tune would have been
different. This is evidenced in the fact
that when there was danger to him in
Territorial days he skipped the country
and remained ont of sight for upwards
of seven years. And the excuse for
this action which he caused to be cir
culated is really indicative of the gen
mnely cowardly nature of the man. He
begged the men who remained TO face
the music to say to the saints that his
in the face Of real trou"
bic was justi6able in that it was the
will of the Lord that through his in
strumentality the seed of the Smiths
should be preserved 10 the church. This
silly excuse for his cowardice was COM
upon and laughed over upon
many occasions in the highest Of the
high Mormon families at the time.
The main point, however, is to OBJ
serve the persistent rebelliousness Of
Smith as against the Government and
It's highest tribunal, and his determined
object to make of himself law unto
himself. All Of which characterizcs the
traitor pure and simple.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2f,
Washington Monument Dedicated.

The monument In the form Of an
9pellsk. erected to the memory OF George
washington at the national capital is
the hnest monument in the United States
and one OF the finest In the world. 1t
was finished In the year 1885, and was
dedicated on February u. Washington's
birthday that year falling on Sunday.
The ceremonies We're most impressive,

men OF distinction In civil life. united
to do honor to the great Washington
The formal presentation OF the monu-
ment was made at the base of the grand
obelisk, while the dedication ceremonies
proper took place In the hall of the
house of representatives Colonel Casey
the engineer in charge OF the work
turned over the monument to the govern
mont, and President Arthur accepted it
In behalf of the nation. The orators
of the day were Hon .onn w. Daniels
of Virginia. and Hon. John d Long of
Massachusetts.
Notwithstanding the fact that the plan
Of monument to General Washington
was approved by congress In the latter
in the matter until 1898. when an asso-
citation Of prominent persons undertook
the raising OF the needed funds by sub
scrlpuon, and on July 4, lSiS, had so far
succeeded in their undertaking that the
cornerstone of the monument was laid.
and during the succeeding eight years
the shaft was carried TO the height OF
l56 feet. The work was suspended on ac-
count OF the Civil war. and nothing fur
ther was done until In 1876, when con-
gress undertook its completion.
The shaft OF the Washington monu-
ment is 500 feet high, and the entire
height of the monument, Including the
foundation. is 592 feet. The stones Of
which the monument Is constructed are
great blocks Of crystal marble from
Maryland, of which there are more than

THEIR LAW-DEFYING MINDS.

Those who believe that President Jo-
seph F. Smith is sincere in his state.
ments when he protests that he does
not eountenance lawbreaking in the
church, as such lawbreaking is exem"
plihed in new polygamy, are asked to
note the following, which we take from
signed letter by Mr.. Smith that was
published as the leading article on the
editorial page of the Deseret News in
its issue Of June II. 1886;
We believe the Edmunds law is a
flagrant violation OF the Constitution and
trosities hurled with their authors into
oblivion and eternal contempt. There
fore let unjust lawmakers. partisan
Judges. and unscrupulous lawyers be-
ware curb their evil passions and keep
within the law. or there awaits them by
the fiat OF eternal justice irrevocable
retribution!
First, it must be confessed that too
much attention should not be paid to
such an ignorant outburst, born of hat
red and lack of intelligence; but 1T must
be held in mind that it is this same ig,
norance and hatred of the law that now
has supreme control over the Mormon
church. The disloyalty of Joseph Smith
was kncnded into his character when a
boy by those who had treacherously
tion and set up monarchy Of their
own under the name of the kingdom Of
God. In view of the training which
Joseph F. thus received, it is altogether
unreasonable to suppose that the hatred
which he holds for the United States
shall die out so long as his life shall
endure. His every serious utterance
indicates that he holds within himself
no love or reverence for the institutions
Of this country. Notwithstanding the
Woodruff manifesto and the sacred COW
enants made by Mr.. Smith and other
church leaders with respect TO plural
marriage and promised abandonment Of
that practice, he continues to assert in
public and in private that he is still a
believer in the righteousness and divin-
ity of that doctrine, and says that
any Mormon who believes otherwise
might as well reject every other prin
ciple connected with the mission of Jo-
Sepn oInlIu, IUc lOuHuGr OI MOrUlOn-
ism. That his views rs formerly ut
tered with respect to the laws 'and SEN
timents Of this country are still held
as valid and righteous, despite his pro-
fessions of loyalty, is a conclusion that
is inevitable. Joseph f. Smith is a
traitor at heart, as may be proved to a
6nality even if we take no further evil
dence than that presented in his own
assumptions of authority and preton.
sions to absolute power over mankind
that are second only to the rights of
God Himself, whose viccgerent upon
the earth he pretends to be.
1t will be noted that the above ut
terance Of Joseph T. Smith, over his
own signature in the official church or
gan, came seven years after the deci~
sion Of the United Stntes Supreme
Court, which is the recognized arbiter
of all questions OF constitutionality of
law, and by whose decisions all good cit

AN EXPLANATION SOUGHT.

Over in the Uintah country in Utah,
they appear to be pretty well satisfied
with the laws as they are, and some of
them are wondering what it is that
Smoot is trying to get at in the new

naming unappropriated lands Of the old
Uintab reservation to the State of Utah,
