THE YELLOW CHURCH LIAR.

This is about the time Of the year
when the Deseret News, organ of the
Mormon church, generally comes out
with a warning TO the Mormon press
of Utah that they must not take any
independent course in politics, but
must leave everything of that kind
alone until it leads out and shows them
the course they ought to take. In this
way it secures to itself the first op-
portunity to lie about the party and
the persons the church voters are ex"
pected to oppose in the ensuing cam
paign. and keeps the Mormon news
papers in leash, nc matter how much
some of the papers may fret about it..
The church organ is the most reckless
liar, the yellowest of yellow journals,
utterly mendacious and unscrupulous In
all these matters.
Heretofore the church organ has
been allowed to pursue its arrogant
and mendacious course in this respect
without being called down by the
country press of this State. Now,
however, by reason of the freedom of
expression which has been fostered and
protected through the American party
influence, there is an occasional
" bareback in which the church or
gan gets badly scorched. An instance
of this is the following editorial
clipped from recent issue Of the Lo-
gan Journal:
The Deseret News is out with a warn
Ing against the campaign liar; particu-
larly the one who processes to know

BOGUS PRoPHEsY DROPPED.

What shall it profit a man to proph-
esy, if his prophecies never be full
flled7
Years ago the boys and girls Of the
Mormon church were taught to regard
with all seriousness the prophecies of
The prophets and apostles of the church
concerning the American Indians. 1t
from Joseph Smith down to half score
years ago, that the Lord would redeem
the Lamanitcs, cause them TO become
ga white and delightsome people, and
constitute them His battleaxcs for the
destruction of this Nation, upon the
ruins Of which was to be reared the
kingdom of God with the prophet as
earthly king. And there used to be a
great deal of faith placed in that
prophecy, too, for the saints lived in
full expectation that the Lord would
so manage things that the Indians would
become mighty people, They sought
friendship with the Lamanites on that
account, and stuffed the aboriginal mind
with the great things that had been
forctold of them by the big chiefs of
the Mormon church, and in the Book
Of Mormon, put forward as their his
tory.
But we hear no more of that now.
Statistics show that as the years go
by the Indians are also passing They
have dwindled vastly since this country
was first invaded by the whites, and it
looks now as if their destruction were
coming with greater rapidity the far
ther it proceeds. And in this little par
ticular of present day history making
we find both the Mormon prophets and
their Book Of Mormon to be discredited
in most shameful fashion. Therefore
do they now keep exceedingly quiet con
cerning the Lamanites as tho NBattle~
axes of the Lord -

NO RAILROAD COMMISSION.

ThA Utah Press Association Mt lts
session few days ago, UNANIMOUSLY
declared against the creation Of Tall'
road commission for this State. The
Tribune was glad to see this, because
our opinion all the time has been aveTse
to such body, and we emphatlcally
opposed it when it was proposed IN the
Legislature of 1909, We have known
Of railroad commissions for great
many years, and have never been able
to see that any good came from them
to correspond TO the public eXpecta
ton, and to the professions from those
who advocated such commissions, and
to the claims of the commissions them
selves, Almost without exception,
such commissions are simply bits OF
political jobbery and their chief aim,
though hidden as much as possible,
seems to be to bleed the railroads and
make them put up for the personal eX'
penses of the members of the commls-
sion and for the campaign expenses OF
the party in control Of the State.
l.,
ply bits of political jobbery, and are
generally recognized as snch by the
people of the States which have been
afflicted with them. In Utah, espe-
cially, the functions Of a railroad com
mission would be practically nil, The
bulk of the railroad business here is
interstate business, with which rail
road commission could have nothing to
DO AS to freight rates wholly within
the State, the Legislature can do what
ever may be needed by simple com
pliance with the Constitution, which re-
quires the fixing of reasonable maxi
mum rates. There is In fact no room
for railroad commission here, and
Utah editors did well in their action
wherein they pronounced unanimously
AGAINST it,

THE SPORADIC JUMP.

There have come to Tho Tribune
three additional names of Mormon
elders that are entitled to enrolment
among the others Of our new polyga-
mists.
Elder Frank Cheney is Of Colonia
Diaz, Mexico, and it was rs late as
1908 that he took second wife, Miss
Robinson Of the same place, and of the
same family as plural wife of Elder
Peter Skousen.
Elder Walter Hurst of Dublan, Mexi-
co, is another of the celestializers, who
married a second wife In the year 1903,
He has been little more careful than
most Of the cult in Mexico. and has
managed to keep the name of the
woman to himself and his immediate
friends; but that he is living in po-
lygamy is we'll known to his com
munity, as we'll as the fact that the
marriage occurred about five years
ago.
Elder Joseph James lived at Pacheco,
Mexico, when he took a third wife
Before the manifesto he had two
wives, two sisters named Bloomfield,
and after the manifesto he married a
Miss Richards as his third conjugal
partner. Although this happened very
soon after the issuance of the Wood
ruff document-in fact, IN 1s9l-the
case belongs in the new polygamous
class.
For ga few sporadic cases" as the
first presidency has officially called
them, they are pihng up to formidable
number, there being now one hundred
and seventy-five in the list. And for
a practice that is "dying out,' as the
church organ declares, polygamy is ex
hibiting surprising strength. The only
way in which it will "die out" is to
be killed out by just and proper en-
forcement of the law-the last thing
that the Mormon hierarchs think Of

the country under the affliction Of the
stand pat regime.
The probability is that the adherence
to stand patism by Illinois puts the Re
publican ascendency Of that State IN
danger, lust ns the like action has done
to the party IN Ohio, The natural out
come of the stand-pat triumph in llll'
nois would be the loss of the majority
of the delegation in the lower house or
Congress to the Democrats, and If the
Republicans should lose also the legis-
lature. as they are more likely to do
in that State than they were In Maine,
which elected q Democratic legislature,
the apportionment Of representatives
would be so made as to insure far
greater number of Democrats in Con
gress the next ten years than has been
possible under the apportionment made
by the Republicans after the last de-
cennial census It is a critical time IN
all the Republican States this year, ana
it is especially critical in Illinois now
by reason of the triumph of stand
patism

ITS FACING BOTH WAYS.

Discussing the local political out
look, well-known citizen says that
the Democrats, having adopted pro-
hibltion plank, will be able to quote
from former utterances of the Deseret
News on this subject, and utilize these
excerpta as weapons to promote sue
cess for their ticket among the Nor
mon people. But there is one draw
back to that, and that is that the op-
position will be equally able to go to
the News for other and contrary ut
terances, of which the following may
be regarded as q sample:
With the cause OF temperance we are
in hearty sympathy, but We are afraid
any effort 10 force people TO be good must
Iqil. II rs contrary to God dealings with
Ills children II Lucifer himself. the

ing a compulsory plan OF salvation, II

From an editorial in the Deseret Newe
Of September 81, 1905.
OF course, our Democratic friends
are only mortal, and according to the
admonition of the News they must
proceed with caution" 1t is as.
sumed that they do not desire to "fall
into similar error to that commit
ted by His Nobs of the internal re-.
gions. Besides, if we are TO count the
self-esteeming attitude of our hierarchs
in the consideration, it will be n heap
worse for the Democracy to offend
them than 10 displease the Almighty
and the hosts of heaven.
AT any rate, either side will be fully
able to find the Deseret News with
1T at one time or another, if the cam.
palgners only care to examine its
columns.

SIZING UP SUTHERLAND.

cruel stab to Senator Sutherland Of
this State. 1t notes his dependence
upon and groveling before Apostle
Smoot (upon whom he has to depend
for his continuance in the Senate), and
shows that it has good working idea
Of the political situation in Utah, so
far as the Indifference of the bosses
to the popular will is concerned. Its
pithy little editorial on the subject in
its issue of September 18th is as fol
lows, under the caption, "An Amusing
Plan:''
Just as Wetmore is O Man Friday for
Aldrich. or Burnham for Gallinger, so Is

j. GoLDEN's REToRT.

Apparently they still occasionally
talk in the Mormon church concerning
the "Smiths-S -Son-ian Institute" as that
organization was named some time ago
by The Tribune.
President J. Golden kimball of the
first council of seventy is regarded as
blunt man in conversation, but at the
same time 1t is generally admitted that
occasionally he surely strikes the nail
on the head. We are told that in CON
versation on the subject of Smithizing
the Mormon church. as pointed out by
The Tribune, Mr. Kimball asked,
Don't you think there is little
truth in it7' "Well, Brother Kimbal.
you must remember was the reply.
that it was the Smiths that started
the church. But j. Golden had q
ready rcioinder at hand in, "Then
must have been laboring under mis-
apprehension. / thought that this was
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints, and that God Himself start
ed it,
President Kimball is not a bit poetic,
but he appears to have struck the truth
here, In so far as the pretense of the
church is concerned. However, he is
undoubtedly aware by this time that
the Smiths are in the habit of taking

all they can lay their hands on in the
church, and that il makes no difference
to them even if it is supposed to belong

Smith, president; John Henry Smith,
counselor; Hyrum NJ Smith, apostle;
George A. Smith, apostle; Joseph F..

ing patriarch; and David A. Smith,

Meantime it must be recollected, too,
that with his vast polygamous family
to draw from, Joseph F, has still plenty
to go around the fat places whenever
they shall fall vacant-and that other
young men in the church are expected

service on the Western Pacific and the
certainty that the other transcontinen
tai railroads must all build here to get
their choice in four coast connections
They are at present confined to the
Hartman line from Omaha to Ogden
and lose a thousand miles haul on
their own tracks that they could easily
obtain by building to this place.
Throughout the State people are en-
joying prosperity by reason Of the good
crops and high prices for products, The
opening of the government bridge over
the Duchosno river at Myton has been
an important event Of tho week IN the
northeastern part Of the State, and
was duly celebrated.
The great commercial agencies re-
port increase in business for the coun"
try ut large, incident to the harvest
ing and transportation Of the crops and
the opening Of Fall activities; but as
a whole domestic commerce and indus
try are retarded by the impairment OF
confidence as to the political outlook.
Irregularity Is noted almost every
where. A great deal Of interest at
tends the harvest festivals and State
fairs, and the marketing Of the crops
has made q general distribution of
money which helps retail dealers There
is also more plentiful money in the
Western banks, and a general easing
up on the tightness that prevailed dur
ing the summer. The business failures
Of the week were considerably below
the average, and the more optimistic
crop reports tend to expand the conf
dcnce that was somewhat lacking dur
ing the summer months while the crop
reports were uncertain.
There seems no reason to doubt that
the year will close with q general feel
ing Of confidence, and good business
throughout the country.
