A CONTEST ON HAND.

The annual session of the wool grow
crs convention held in Ogden has ad-
iourned 1t was a National and en-
thusiastic convention. representing the
wool interests of the whole country in
thorough fashion. The applause which
greeted the news that Pinchot had been
removed as chief forester shows the es-
timation in which that tyranDicaI per
son is held by the sheep men. The con
vention declared in favor of the pres
ent tariff and against any change IN it
so far as schedule X is concerned.
AT the same time, it is evident that
the wool men sense the fact heretofore
noted by The Tribune, that they are
liable to have fight with the wool
manufacturers for tho control Of the
wool market In this fight the manu-
tacturers will have decidedly the ad-
vantage if they combine closely and are
disposed to spend money to reach their
control. The tariff gives the WOOL man
ufacturers decided advantage. They
don Il need to buy wool except when
they want TO. and at the season OF the
wool clip their disposition has always
been to deprcss prices, Wool growers
met this move of the manufacturers last
year by providing to store their WOOL
and hold it until the market recovered.
That was a success last year. IT viii
be success every time that the wool
manufacturers give way and allow the
market TO rise.
But suppose they don't give way,
Suppose they hold TO their proposition
not to pay more than certain figures
for the different classes of wool, run
light on manufacture, and buy foreign
wool even at an advance, in order to re-
tain their control of the market; sup
pose they do this for a year, and until
the second crop of wool is clipped. aud
continue even longer if necessary in or
der to suhduc the wool growers. There
is no question at all about the prac-
ticability OF this. It is simply a ques
tion of whether the wool manufacture
ers have the nerve and tenacity TO go
into that kind of fight. The fact
is that the wool producers are put al
together at the mercy Of the manutac'
turers of woolens by this tariff bill.
This fact seems to have been fairly
recognized by the sheep men In their
convention at Ogden, and while they
put up stiff upper lip about storing
their wool and made advances looking
to the general storage proposition, it
must be manifest TO them that their ad-
vantage is a temporary one if the wool
manufacturers determine to go into
this fight in earnest. And if the man
ufacturers do so determine, it will be
case where the wool growers will not be
so we'll satisfied with the wool tariff as
they professed themselves to be in their
resolutions as adopted.

In Utah the machinery of the courts
is absolutely under the domination and
fear of the Mormon hierarchy, which
favors new polygamy and protects new
polvgumists.
The two situations arc identical IN

criminals to Justice here, lust ms it was

of the freedom of their people from
crime; and in Utah their successors
brag of the white morality of their fol.
lowers. The boast was as inconsistent
then as the brag is now. Raiders upon
the property OF Gcntiles at Nauvoo
were freed under tho political power
Of the Mormon leaders. Adulterers un
der the cover of new polygamy in Utah
are protected from the law by the po,
ltical power of Joseph +. Smith and
his ecclesiastical coadiutors. There ap-
pears no court record against the Grim
inals, either there or here, and yet there
were as many thieves and adnlterers
in the Mormon community at Nauvoo
as there are new polygamists in Utah

But the hierarchs are able to look

BRIGHAM REFUSED TO CLAIM.

F. As is we'll known TO those who have
any knowledge of the subject at all,
there is an intermlnable controversy
between the two branches of the Nor
mon church with respect to who was
legally entitled in succession to Joseph
Smith in the presidency of the
church. 1t is also a fact familiar to
informed individuals that the Utah
Mormons are constantly testifying, in
dividually, that 81 know Joseph Smith
was prophet of God, and that Brigham
Young was his legal SUCCESSOR a
similar contention is set up by the Re-
organized membership, except that they
of their organization for that of Brig
ham Young. Joseph Smith Of the
Reorganized branch of the church is the
son of the founder of the cult: and
it is claimed that be was designated by
his father to succeed to the presidency.
His adherents have great many
proofs to present In support of their
contentious; and members of the Utah
church appear to have quite as formid-
able an array of testimony in favor
of Brigham Young. However, there is
one utterance by President Young that
is never quoted by the Utah church.
We find it in the Journal of Discourses,
volume s, page 90, being part of the
report of sermon delivered by him
on June 3, 1860. 1t at least furnishes
an expression of Brigham own opinion
in the matter, and may shed some real
light upon the question. Here it is:
The brethren testify that Brother Brig
ham is Brother Josephs successor, YOU
NEVER HEARD ME SAY so. I say
that / am a good hand to keep the dogs
and wolves out OF the flock. ! do not
care a groat who rises UP. l do not
think anything about being Josephs sue
ccssor. That Is nothing that concerns me.
So that it would appear that those
who so stridently proclaim that Brig
ham was Joseph Smith s legal sue
cessor are simply testifying to that
concerning which Brigham himself re
fused to make any claim. This is
| given as information that cannot b
obtained from tho church organs.

THE HYPoCRITICAL PRETENSE.

In the Nauvoo Times and Seasons,
volume 5, page sal, under date of July
/, 1912, we ind the following:
Where Is there another community of
thirty thousand in any State. against
none OF whom there Is n record of con-
viction for crime In any court during the
space OF three years?
In illumination Of the hypocritical
nature of that query let us present an
other one: Where is there another COM
munity on the face Of the civilized
earth, where there is such high per-
centage of adultery, committed under
the guise of new polygamy, in which
there is no record of a single convic-
ton in any court'

by that Infamous institution known as
the municipal court of Nauvoo, oper-
nted under the tyrannical charter of
Nauvoo,. and backed by military

TODAY IN HISTORY
JANUARY j 10.

Today is the anniversary day OF the
establishment OF the penny post by Sir
Rowland HILL and the use OF, the modern
postage stamps on letters. II seems al
most incredible. in view OF the fact Of
the great number of stamps used today.
that it was only In 1910 that postage
stamps came into use on January TO-
That is only seventy years ago and to-
day hundreds of millions OF stamps are
daily placed upon letters.
Sir Rowland first made the suggestion
In 1897 in n brief setting OUT improve
ments In the postal system OF England.
In the following words: Perhaps the
difficulties might he overcome by using
stamp. and covering the back with Il
glutinous wash. which. by applying lit
tie moisture, might be attached to the

The adhesive postage stamps were not

general use until 1855, In 1852 stamped
envelopes were first introduced, in lSI2
postal cards were authorized, and In 1879

| used.
In the English colonies OF America be-

were supplied by private enterprise. III
that year the first effort was made for
the establishment OF government postal
system,
| In 1872 rates Of postage were fixed
which remained unaltered for nearly half
q century They were; For 30 miles and

and not exceeding 100, 10 cents, and SO
