THE MEAT OF THE MATTER.

owe have all got TO be Americans
first, and Mormons or Methodists, or
anything else afterwards is the way
an old friend of The Tribune and the
American cause in Utah puts it,
And that meaty little remark is re-
spectfully brought to the attention Of
Apostle Reed Smoot, who holds a
United States Senatorship and pre-
tends to pay to his country in that
position his highest fealty and patri-
otto devotion, But Mr. Smoot's own
outgivings have placed him in a bad
light before the Nation on this sub
iect. When he was testifying in his
own case at Washington, lie told the
Senate committee that if God gave
him commandment to do certain
mandment in this country without run"
ming afoul of the law, he would move
to some other land but what he would
obey. Now, any supposed command
ment that Smoot could possibly re-
celve from God would necessarily come
through the head of the Mormon
church, provided he is not a religious
us well as political hypocrite. Either
that, or he would supposedly receive
that command personally through pre-
tended revelation by reason of his
ecclesiastical position as "prophet,
seer, and revelator. - go that accord
ing to his own definition Of his posi-
tion he is not first an American citizen.
He is first and foremost bIgoted re-
ligionist, holding himself always in
readiness TO obey the behests Of his
ecclesiastical superior as against the
call of his country.
Reed Smoot, therefore, is not loyal
citizen Of the United States; and what
business has a disloyal person to hold
a position among the land IS chief law
makers9

CONSERVATION HOBBIES

1t Is good to see that the American
Mining Congress is Weakening TO the
troubles that the senseless conservation
policy of Mr. Plnchot would place upon
their industry. The Tribune has di-
rected attention to this feature of the
fake conservation heretofore Iu has
printed protests from mining interests
in Colorado. in Montana, and elsewhere
against the exclusion of prospectors and
mine operators from the immense areas
covered by forest reserves. contrary TO
law, In response to a deDounccmcnt
of his policies by Colorado miners some
two years ago. Mr. Pinchot pointed out
that under the law his forest rangers
were not authorized to put distractions
in the way of mining development on
the forest reserves, He was right about
it 80 far as the law goes. The law does
not permit them TO obstruct mining
operations on the forest reserves, but
nevertheless they do obstruct those oper
ations and have done so right along

TO see that this congress has at last

them by those same policies II is time

MOODY DUE TO RETIRE.

The dispatches inform us that Asso.

United States Supreme Court has def
nltely announced that he will retire
from the bench prior 10 the expiration
of the time fixed in the enabling act
passed in his behalf by the last session
of Congress. This time limit is the mid
die of November.
1t would seem, however, in view of
the Importance of Il number of the
cases to be argued before the Supreme
Court at its October term, that Mr.,
Moody ought not TO wait so long as
November before retiring. 1t is ex-
tremely desirable that there should be

corporation tax question, the tobacco
question, the railroad questions, and of

IT'S HYPOCRITICAL BRAVADO.

"Tbere arc persons here said the
Deseret News not long ago, "on the
perpetual lookout for something of the
kind, who would give a great deal for
the discovery of any such an infraction
of the law
And that observation was, in mo-
ment of extreme bravado, directed by
the church organ to the matter of new
polygamy. 1t is directly in line with
its old and continued policy Of po-
lygamous protection by means of de
nial and suppression of the facts. Not
withstanding the truth that there are
more young men and young women in
polvgamy in the Mormon church to-
day than there ever were at any other
one period in the history of the church,
the News would have the people be-
lieve that the voiced objections of law
abiding citizens have no reason In fact
for their utterance, and that contin
ued exposure of this polygamous law
lessness is nothing more and nothing
less than religious persecution and
vicious attack upon a church.
In the old days, when plural mar
riage was practiced openly by Nor
mons here, 1T was the custom to per-
nit only the older men to engage In
it, While early marriage was advo-
Gated, there was no urgency upon
young men to take more than one wife,
AS a rule, they were permitted to en-
Joy the blessing of monogamy until
later period, the urgency to plural
marriage only coming after middle.
age had been passed. Under that con
dition the polygamists were mostly men
who were rather we'll along in years
But nowadays, as the names will show,
the young men are engaging in new
polygamy by the hundreds. There is
an object in permitting this, and that
is to procure more extended perpetual
tion of the practice on account OF the |
greater number of years yet TO be
lived by the criminals.
1t is this object that the News seeks |
to achieve when 1T makes use of such |
ntterances as we have quoted
That paper is a party to all these |
crimes committed during the Joseph +. |
Smith reign.

A GIVE-AWAY PROTEST.

In the year 1906 a man named Cecil
G., Plant was tried and found guilty of
having bigamously married a Mormon
girl at Pennington, Utah.
That item has its usual value simply
rs recorded fact of course, but con.
nected with the occurrence there was an
incident that contains another and rath-
er more interesting element for students
of the situation in Utah. At the time
the case was tried, and when it natural

lie attention, the Deseret News care.
fully and industriously sought TO i'm
press the public mind with the fact that
Plant was not, and never had been,
a Mormon. This was patent on the face
of it; for if he had been his crime
would have been concealed; it would
have been impossible to convict him.
Why was IT that no other church OF
religious denomination sought to disa-
VOW any partnership or other connection
or association with the polygamous
PlantP And why, on the contrary did
the Mormon church, through it's news
paper spokesman, deem it to be proper
to come out and assure the world that
Plant was not of its body 1t was simply
that other churches and denominations
had not taught or practiced the sin of
which Plant was guilty. 1t was that the
Mormon church had inculcated the
polygamous doctrine and had practiced
the same throughout the greater part of
its history. But it would be interesting
now to have the Deseret News come out
and say whether or not the men in
