How to Stick on Stamps.

n HAN!h .HaaWr
Postage stamps must be handed
out with the ''sticky side up at the
po%stofice hereafter. Fol sanitary
reasons the department has seen fit
to order all postmasters to instruct
clerks at the stamp windows that
all stamps must be handed to pa
irons without permitting the gum
med face to touch the base Of the
stamp windows. The order was
issued from the office of the first
assistant postmaster general and is
effective at once. For the benefit
of those who wonder how they can
stick a stamp on an envelope with
out wiping the tongue on it, here
is a suggestion: Lick the corner
of the envelope, its cleaner; has
been handled less and tastes bet
ter says the Tribune. No charge
for this; even in this day of trusts
and high prices, there are still
some places where you can get ad.
vice free.

THAT sHIPBU1LDING CONTRACT.

1t isn't exactly easy to see what Ar
gentina wants with two modern war
ships. But she does want them, and is
willing to pay for them II is, there
fore, gratifying to see that an Ameri-
can shipbuilding company gets the con-
tract to build the ships. The head of
the Fore River shipyards, at Quincy,
Massachusetts, hearing that these ships
were wanted. quickly packed his grip,
went to Buenos Ayres, and got the con-
tract for both. As the Boston CONNER
cial Bulletin says, "Sixteen political
campaigns and forty"fve banquets to
owl~cycd statesmen have not accom-
plished as much for the business of Bos-
ton harbor as this simple sailor has done
by smart, direct convassing''
One reason why the American was
able successfully to compete with Euro
pean shipbuilders, is that every import
ed article entering into the construc-
ton will come in duty free, the manu-
facture being for export,
But the fact that America gets this
contract throws the British press into
fits, One paper says that as the United
States, protective country, can get
contracts such as this. against free. trade
Great Britain. it marks the end of free
trade; there is nothing for it but that
England also must go In for protection.
The American underbid the English bid
ders by 100000 in the two ships There
fore the higher wages the better style
of living for American workmen, the
higher cost of materials that prevail
here, can no longer be depended upon
TO prevent our shipbuilders from com
peting with the world. 1t is a revelation
for the Britons, and one hard for them
to understand.
1t should also be a revelation TO
American economists. For. if we can
compete with the world in sbipbuilding,
it is manifest that to give the privilege
of buying foreign built ships would eff,
feet nothing in the restoration of the
American merchant marine. 1t must be
something else than the cost of build
ing ships that keeps American commerce
ships from the high seas. IT is the duty
other thing Cor things) is. and apply
the proper remedy. 1t seems impossible
to get q direct subsidy, which would
cure the trouble out of hand. and fill
the oceans with ships under the Ameri-
lean flag But the ingenuity Of Ameri-

ITS sNEAKING BAcKDoWN.

On last Tuesday evening the News
had something to say again upon the
matter of newspaper duty, and of itself
asserted the following;
The Deseret News prints whatever the
facts are, but not the runors ana
trumpcd-up scandals expressly intended
TO injurc and dcfamc ou entire COM
munity that Is in no way responsible for
them.
When The Tribune called attention
TO the fact that Joseph Marion Tanner
was a new polygamous lawbreaker, the
News refused to print the fact. In
stead, it publicly announced that 1T
did and would decline to take notice
of 'scandalous stories' published in
any newspaper Whenever 1T has be-
come known that any member of its
favored cult has offended against the
law governing the marriage relation it
has steadfastly refused TO print the
fact. 1t will not print the fact that
there arc hundreds of such offenders
in the Mormon church. and that the
organization is responsible for the fact
that these men remain uupunlshed. On
the contrary, 1t attempts TO conceal the
facts in this matter, and thereby en-
couragcs other Melchisedeks to become
criminals, In that sort of treatment
of veXing question it wrongs the en-
tire community, for the reason that the
public has a right to know when men
are trampling upon the laws under
which the community is governed Facts
concerning other offenses the Deseret
News prints. we believe, to the best
Of It's knowledge and information. Why
does it not accord similar treatment to
this particular class of wrongdolng9
If exposure of polygamous crimes In"
lures the Mormon church, there is no
help for it; but the Mormon church is
not the entire community. And if the
organization desires to escape such in
jury let it do away with the offense
and the offenders, and let the Deseret
News help TO accomplish the work. That
is its duty toward the entire com
munity.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-03-14
A CURIOUS ARRANGEMENT.

The accuracy of newspapers is often
the subject of attack, but we think that
the limit is about reached in a recent
article appearing ID the Grand Valley
Times, printed at Moab, Utah. The
Times arraigns the papers in Salt Lake
City for printing a statement that a
post card received by the United States
Marshal here from his chief deputy
from Moab, notes the heaviest fall of
snowfall recalled in that region, and
that with the snow lying about two and
one-half feet on the level, Moab is prac
IDEALLY snowbound. For printing the
contents of this post card, tho Times
under the heading "Shame on you gem
tlemenl' accuses The Tribune, with 9th
CT Salt Lake papers, of printing a vii
lainous lie about Moab, as the Times
claims that nothing of the kin,l ever
occurred at Moab, and that no more than
SIX inches of snow was there at tha.
tlrc, 40 during Ire month Of Feo.
ruary not a particle of srow fell.
Now, Of course, ]hr Tribune said
Iothing about s1Cw ut Moab; it SIMPLY
stated the fact that post card was re-
ceived making the statement; and we
do not know why we should be arraigned
for inaccuracy, and that shame should
be called down upon our heads, is sorne-
thing not easy to comprehend, How
ere, it serves to call attention to the
fact that it is the inaccurate information
received by newspapers that is invar-
iablY at fault, and not any inaccurate
statement intended; that is, in rep.
utable newspaper. All of the Salt Lake
newspapers printed the fact that tbe
post card was received; they are not
responsible for the statement contained
In that card; and it IS curious that
newspaper that ought to know that what
a newspaper says and what somebody else
says in its columns is quite different
matter. a newspaper that would youch
for everything that people say, even if
it prints some of it, would have little
chance for anything but denials and de.
fense.
