THE CHURCH OF THE SMITHS

Joseph F. IS losing no time unncces.

process of Smithizing tho Mormon
church. In other words, the present
monarch is doing all in his power to
make of the entire institution a belong

10 them forever.
On Wednesday afternoon President
Joseph F. Smith selected Apostle John
Henry Smith as counselor to FIJI the va.

of the late John r. Winder. This ne
cessitated the filing Of vacancy in
the apostolate, of which John Henry
was member In order to fill up the

HEYBURN is FOR THE WEST.

| Senator Hepburn of Idaho is fast
winning his way to the hearts Of all
intelligent Western people. He was the
first man in high places to set up the
standard of opposition to Pinchotism
and to denouncc the humhug "conser-
vation' y policies of the Roosevelt ad.
ministratiou. These policies were with
out foundation in law, and under them
executive officers undertook to make
law of their own in opposition to statu-
tory law.
Under the laws of the country, set.
tiers arc entitled to establish home
stcads on the public domain and use
tho utilities at hand to redeem the
wiIds and plant civilization. But under
Plnchotism, and by il, this right was
subjected to official ccnsurc, oppres.
sion, and dispossession. It was clear
conflict between the administrative
forces OF the country and the law. Il
lustrated IN Oregon, more than half
of the State was tied UP in grants to
railroads. post roads. and other grants
and reservations. and Pinchot came
along and proposed to withdraw what
was left from settlement.
As applied to Idaho. we are printing
in another column this morning let.
Ter from Boise which quotes Surveyor
General Utter, and is distinctly in sup
port Of Senator Hevburn.
AS applied generally, it was a lawless
usurpatlon and hindrance to the settle
ment and development of the country.
Our dispatches from Washington YES.
terday show Senator Hepburn valiantly
hghtng for the interests of the West.
He is determined opponent to the usur.
pations of executive officers, and wants
to put up cffectual barriers against
their violating the law and setting up
their own authority and opinions
against the law. And Senator Heyburn
is dong good service. not only for
his own immediate constituents, but for
all the Western States, in his mapnifi
cent fight against the spoliations of the
settlers and the efforts to bar them out
from their riChtful privileges under the
law upon the public domain.

BEvERIDGE TRIUMPHANT.

Senator Bcvcridgc is fully endorsed
by the Indiana Republicans. They ap
proved his course, appauded his speech
and adopted his platform. They cen
sure the tariff law as passed, declare foi
its modification, and set forth once
moro the true Republican doctrine OF
protection, that protective tariff is
properly measured ''by the difference
between the cost of production here and
abroad That is, chiefly the price of
labor. The Republican party stands for
the protection, primarily, Of the Amer
lean workman, and the true gauge OF
protection is tho difference in wages
here and in other countries. As the
lead miners have commonly put their
case, they want protection against the
peou labor of Mexico. And that is Just
and fair II is measure not hard to
make, md when 1t is properly solved,
The question of protection is solved.
Indiana is the first State in which
the question of supporting the new
tariff law has sauarely come before =
Republican State convention, with An
"insurgent al Issue. And in this case
the "insurgent was triumphant; the
new law was condemned. and the po-
sition of tho ''insurgent squarely en-
dorsed. He spoke at length in support
of his insurgency, and the platform
adopted was clear echo of that speech
IT was signal and significant act of
opposition to the Republican bosses
who forced the faith. breaking, in
iquitous tariff bill through Congress.
1t is 4 marvel to sec that the Smoot
paper here, which vaingloriously pa
rades its Republcanlsm, denounced
Senator Beveridge on the very morning
when the news of his conspicuous tri-
umph was given to the country, as no
Republican. If he is not, then there
is no Republican party in Indiana. If
he is ''out of the palc' of the party,
then all Republicans in Indiana are out
of it. The Smoot organ s logic is about
on par with its honesty, both rotten.
For, in order TO allow its weak minded
to have even a little peg 10

speech, suppressed the Republican plat.

SURPRISING COMPLAINTS

Elder Samuel O. Bennion was n CON
ference speaker on Monday, AS our
report has it, Elder Beunion appeared
10 nave devoted himself somewhat to
the matter of mildly suggesting to at.
tendants that tho tabernacle was no
place in which to air grievances. "In
referring to the wisdom with which the
church authorities are directing the
work Of the church, he declared that
men or women with complaint should
20 TO the bishop first, and not over the
head of tho bishop"
Somewhat daiutily put, indeed. in be.
half of the lawbreaking heads of the
Mormon church. For be it known to all
men that so long as complaints against
these dehers of God and man are left
to the keeping of the ward bishops, no
complaints of that nature will ever
bishops will take care OF them in ac.
commodating pigeon-holes bored into
the Mormon fabric for that special
purpose. And under the rule laid down
by Elder Bennion that no objection may
be voiced in the big tabernacle before
all the people. it is n natural result
that the offending chief priests are en-
abled to 90 right along with their con
cubinage and adulterous practices with
out hindrance or reproof.
What bishop, think you, who expects
to hold his position as such, would pro-
cced against superior ecclesiast upon
complaint of member, however just
that complaint might be? We have
known of some bishops who have ex
pressed willingness to thus proceed,
provided proper complaint were made.
And we have known that such com.
plant has been made to such bishops.
And we have learned that these very
men have never acted, because there
has come from headquarters a polite in
timation that sufficient activity on the
part of bishops was sufficient, and that
it really wasn't necessary for these
ward shepherds to get busy with mat
ters that did not concern them.
The scheme in way is wonder, but
the greater wonder is that the Mormons
stand for it.

THE "GREAT UNKNOWN. ;

Whenever anything sensational is be-
fore the public, there is a curious class
of the population that desires TO say
something about it, but doesn't want
any one-not even the editor of the
paper to whom the opinion is sent for
publication-to know who is writing 1T.
Perhaps the reason is that the matter
merits alone, without regard TO the
personality; but whoever takes that view
acts on the ultra conceit that his-or
her-personality might induce the editor
to print what is not worth printing
simply because it was that particular
try TO make the paper stand for the arti'
Gle, as it can find no one who is willing
TO admit the authorship.
But newspapers don t want to stand
for other peoples expressions. They
are willing to stand for their own, and
that is enough. Accordingly, they al
ways insist upon knowing who the
writer is that favors them with writ
ten communication giving their opinions
| IT is an invariable rule, and it is in
varably enforced in all responsible
newspaper offices; but this by no means
indicates that the names are to he given
to the public, although in some cases
this is also insisted upon. But in the
main, it is sufficient that the editor
knows who Is the writer.
We direct attention to this because
we are in receipt all the time of anony
nous communications. many of which
we would readily print if we knew theiI
source. In the recent school bond elec
tion we had to consign many contribu
tions to the waste basket because ol
their anonymity. We are having to dC
the same just now in the discussion Of

courts and juries, and the disastrous
consequences attending and following
