WHY ONE AND NOT THE OTHER

We presented few days ago the
dilemma of those who claim that the
presentation of facts and the record
rs to the usurping Mormon priesthood
in their temporal dictations, is an at
tack upon Utah In order to support
such n contention, those who so say
must admit that the Mormon priesthood
comprise or at least represent the
State. IF they do not so admit, they
have no case.
We now wish to present another
phase of the case.
When The Tribune presents the facts
as TO the lawIessness, treason, lechery,
and robberes of the Mormon leaders,
the friends of these leaders and of the
system which they represent claim that
the State is maligned, And in so doing,
they put themselves in the position of
admitting the EXTREMIST claims of those
leaders to temporal rule.
But when the Descrct News, the
church organ, maligns and rails at the
Christian ministers in Utah falsely and
Dlll'ilN ds91lliuB Nhtnl 'u Slouhho W
bigotry and fanaticism merely, with no
offenscs at all against public law or
order on the part of these ministers,
do the Mormon Zcalots and their friends
say that such attacks are dcfamatory
Of Utah! Not that we have ever heard
Of.
But il truthful presentation of
facts by The Tribune, well supported
from The record, against the Mormon
priesthood, is maligning Utah, why is
not false and fanatical attack upon
the Christian ministry here also a
maligning of Utah?
There arc but two horns to this
dilemma: Either it is the truth that
hurts most, in which case our presenta
tion is absolutely justified; or else, the
Mormon priesthood comprise the State
and the Christian ministers do not. The
one is to be recognized and obeyed,
and the other to he spat upon.
And this is the clear logic of this
situation,

WHAT IT SURPRISES.

Under the caption, "Newspaper
Duty the Deseret News of Friday
contained leading editorial which was
partially in criticism of recent lee
ture delivered by Professor Joshua II.
Paul upon this subject, and which was
evidently intended TO also Justify the
course of the church organ as com
following sentences appeared in that
article;
II is evident that much discretion is
required TO decide just what events con-
Ccru the general public, and which ones
are none OF their business. For tne paper
cannot Of course, print all that happens
and II t could nobody would be able to
read Il. \ selection must be made, a
fine opportunity for choice is afforded
1t is well known fact that the
News exercises the choice indicated
What il regards as being no business of
the general public is, for instance. the
recrudescence Of the polygamous prac-
tice within the Mormon church. 1T has
steadily refused TO print The names of
new polygamists or to in any way call
proper attention to the many instances
of this manner of breach of the public
peace and destruction of the public dig
nifty. No matter how many of these
infractions of the law have been and
are committed by the Mormon priest
hood, the News has steadily ignored
them. practically approving the offepses
by its course of suppression of the
facts. 1t is true that no newspaper can
print all that happens. The Tribune
is possessed of some facts connected
with new polygamy and new polyamists
that no newspaper could print and OBJ
serve the postal regulations.
The Deseret News does not perform
its newspaper duty in this matter
Probably the one thing most djsliked
by the criminal is publicity of his
crime. Publicity acts as a deterrent up
on crime and the criminals and when the
News neglects to contribute to this
publicity ii is recreant to its duty to-
ward the public and is in reality pnrty
TO the crime which it seeks to secrete
in that way.

CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT. ,

The final tussIe of The debate IN The
United States Senate on the postal saw
inps bank proposition shows up some
queer sentimcntality and impractical
notions. Some want the money de-
posted in home banks, kept IN the To-
caIity of deposit evidently as conces-
sion TO local sentiment. Some want 10
profect the banks in which the Govern
ment would put the money after per
suadiug the depositors that II was un'
safe 10 leave their money IN them lho
leader in charge of the bill, Senator
Carter, frankly saws that he Will yield
to anv and every proposal that VIII
help the passage of the bill. And so 1t
goes, with the prospect of having u
measure of mere shreds and patches
when, if ever, it does pass.
But about the worst bit Of sentl-
mental folly that we have seen in this
connection is the sentiment uttered by
Senator in response TO suggestion
that in times Of financial stress de-
positors would want their money
:'That might be, was the reply, - II
tho dcpositors had no confidence IN the
Government. - The point being that II
the postal deposits were tied mp in Gov
crnmcnt bonds, the money to pay ac-
counts would not bc available, perhaps,
in sufficient quantities to meet WIDE
and large demand.
Now. il is curious that any Senator
should present question of confidence
in the Government as considerable
factor in the case. IT is not a ques-
ton of confidence, but of cash All
will easily recall the trouble and incon-
venicncc of the panic of 1907 in this
connection. Men wanted money for
many purposes, but couldn t get it. The
banks would not pay it out No one
lost confidence in the banks, but every
one wanted money. When money Is
needed the one who owns ii wants 1T,
without any question about who IS or
is not entitled to confidence. 1t is sim
ply that he needs his money, and wants
il. That need would be precisely the
same If the Government had his money
rs if bank had it. The question of
confidence would not meet the case.
And why that should he brought up in
the Senate as "poser in this con
nection. 1t is very hard to understand,

THE PEARY PROOFS.

We are glad TO note that the House
subcommittee which has in charge the
proposition TO honor Commander Peary
for his discovery of the north pole,
insists on proof that he actually Wis
tied it as he claims. His proofs have
been accepted by the National Geo
graphic Society, notoriously his par
tisans; as Prof. Gannett. a member of
the National Geographic Society's COM
mittee which approved Peary s claims,
said he never doubted Peary IS asser-
tion even before he saw the proofs. In
that state OF mind. accordingly, il was
sure that he would accept the proofs,
no matter what they we've And so of
the others. They were all friends of
Peary, ready TO accept his proofs: no
matter whether they were scientifically
or technically sufficient or not.
But the subcommittee wants "to be
shown" " It's members will recommend
nothing until the proofs are submitted
and approved by scientific men whom
the committee Will call in to examine
them. This is opposed by Pcary Is
friends. who wish to keep the proofs

that PearY wants TO make money out
Of them by their use in magazines and
perhaps in books. To which the ap-
propriate reply is that when this use
has been had and the period of secrecy
has passed, it will then be time to ap-
ply to Congress for the recognition of
his services. And when it is found that

THE COMING CONFERENCE,

The other day there appeared local
item in the Herald. Republican, other
wise known as the Smoot "Mouth, -
which announced that the approaching
April conference of the Mormon church
would be one of the most important
ever held by that organization. The
Tribune believes this to be true, for
reasons.
Among the Mormon people here is a
growing murmur of discomfort. TINS
complaining is the result Of many cir
cumstances that have occurred within
the past few wears And undoubtedly
the Smoot paper spoke advisedly when
suggesting the import that would at
tach TO the coming gathering The Nor
mon people do not take kindly TO the
political activities of Apostle Reed
Smoot, and they are complaining be-
cause these activities are bringing their
church into disreputc in the land, in
view of the protestations, that are
officially made by that body that there
is no intention, attempt or practice IN
interference in the political realm
Some Of the Mormon men who have
sufficient conscience TO impel them TO
objection TO the plain breach of political
contract that is being committed
through the personality of Reed Smoot
have even gone so far as to say that
if the matter be not otherwise RENE edled,
they will arise in the next conference
L 81 ,t,,
tion of their views.
IL is a fact so we'll known that it
scarcely needs 10 be repeated here that
while President Joseph F. Smith is
disposed to be rampantly defiant of
other men, he is of cowardly texture
when in the face of real opposition or
danger. His "bravery" exists only
in proportion to the safety that sur
rounds and protects him IN his def
ance. The last thing on earth that
Joseph F. would see within the church
is honest rebellion against his author
ity and policies; but the saints are
very near TO that condition And il
is mere trembling fear that this con-
ditiop will find open and actual eX
preston at the April conference that
has produced . feeling in the Smith
bosom that it will be necessary TO take
some remedial action in the case Of
Smoot 1t is suggested in the inner
circles that if 1t was proper thing to
have Apostles John w. Taylor and
Matthias 7. Cowley "resign" from the
apostolate in order to protect the
political interests Of Reed Smoot, it
might now be an equally wise plan to
have Reed Smoot "'resign' from the
quorum in order to conserve the church
If the man Smoot was of sufficient
value and Importance. it is argued, to
Justify deposition of two apostles, sure
ly the interest Of the organization it.
self is amply valuable TO Justify the
removal of one apostle. On these sew
eral accounts. as The Tribune has been
given to understand, President Joseph
F. Smith has determined that another
be substituted in the apostolate in place
of Reed Smoot. and that the better
way to get at the matter is to appear
to initiate action as being voluntarily
taken for the good of the church.
And there is one more consideration
that has the effect Of Fastening Jo
seph +. in this thing; and that is that
he desires to retain the presidency of
the Mormon church within the Smith
family. While apparently determining
