who, but once sees the utter disregard
Of self, the limitiess self-sacrihce, the
patience and strong devotion practiced
towards her young by the mother-dog,
can remain Indifferent to her OWL du-
ties as a mother.
The other faction, disregarding the
moral side of the question, argue from
the material side, thus: Why should
we extend so much attention to =
beast who does not produce? What is
a dog, after all, but an idle, non-pro-
ductive animal? We, especially, city
folks, can get along without them well
enough, and if there is any room for
them on this planet at all, 1t is, per-
haps, out in the country, where, not
having any police protection, the farm
er might get some actual use of the
dog. This last sentiment is very
strong with some people.
City No Place for Dogs.
A president of an eastern humane
society has this to say in regard to
this question: The greatest cruelty
practiced towards dogs is in confining
them to the city or In other places.
The city is no place for dogs. Their
manners are unspeakabiy and irreform-
ably bad, and they should not be al
lowed at large on the streets. Dogs
are Of little or no use in the city, and
80 per cent OF them would be better
out OF the way. In my opinion, hui
name societies should continue to pros
ecute those guilty of cruelty to dogs
and cats as It prosecutes for cruelty to
rats. monkeys, fowls and fish, but
think it has too much serious and real
work to do to spend time and money
IN coddling and fondling dogs and cats.
These animals are predacious and
carnivorous, and therefore by nature
cruel. In their domesticated state they
must look to man as the butcher pur-
veyor Of the flesh food of herbivorous
animals. To reflective minds there is
something repugnant, immoral and alb
horrent inecatering to dogs and cats
with the flesh of the more innocent
animals
Case of the Horse.
But, for the present, am willing to
let the case of the dog remain where
It is, for there u another domestic
animal Of which intend to speak, and
to plead in its behalf For, while the
dog, as shown above, counts amongst
his acquaintances as many friends as
saemies, the horse, surely, must have

1t is well to remember that. while
there is enough human suffering in
this age, it is, nevertheless. clamorous,
while brute suffering is dumb. And
there is no unit for measuring, no,
means of computing suffering; but if
the measure could be applied, there is
no doubt but that it would show that
the aggregate of avoidable brute suffer

1T is UP TO DIR. SHORT.

Another gentleman of this city
against whom the vituperation of Apos
tie Senator Smoot s organ is directed on
prohibition grounds, in this cam
paign, is the Rev, DR.. +. B. Short At
the big prohibition mass meeting held
in the Salt Lake theater on the evening
Of February "a, 1909, Doctor Short was
of those legislators who he claimed had
betrayed the trust imposed in them by
their constituents; and of his peroration
the report of that meeting says
lie wound up his speech by threaten
ing should this session OF the Legisla-
ture fall TO produce prohibition laws
TO take the stump In the next campaign
and conduct prohibition fight,
Is it this promise by Doctor Short
that now impels the Smoot organ to at
tack him with such viciousness for
without doubt he is included in the gen.
eral TRADE of that paper against all who
took part in that meeting. 1t is prob
ably realized by the church Republ-
can organ at this time that it would
constitute a great menace to their cause
if now Doctor Short should proceed with
campaign agreeable TO his promise of
1909, and therefore favorable to the
Democratic forces in this controversy.
For that reason, the organ of these
church Republicans has undertaken to
bullyrag Mr.. Short and endeavor to
frighten him away from his announced
purpose.
At any rate, it is plain to be seen
that no possible sense of decency is to
be permitted TO interpose as against
the vilifcatlon campaign projected
by the morning organ of the church po-
litical forces. and it is altogether out
of the question that even gentlemen of
the cloth are to be spared any more
than are of hers

IN this calculation recognition is had of
some OF the peculiar notions of honor
that are held by some of the elders in
Israel. And 1T is with this thought in
view that we agree with our CORE
spondent in his implied opinion that if

1t would have been quito impossible for

THE NAUVoo MoBBING.

On Thursday morning next The Trib-
une will print some matter that doubt
less will interest every citizen Of this
State
We have In our vaults copy of the
Nauvoo Exposltor, printed at Nauvoo,
Illinois, under date of June I, 1874,
That paper, il will be recalled by those
who have read the history of Joseph
Smith and the Mormon church, was de-
stroycd while the second issue was in
process of printing, But one issue of
that paper was ever circulated, and
even after that circulation, every avail
able copy was bought up and burned.
The plant of the paper was smashed
by order of Joseph Smith, the founder
of Mormonism, and the types were pied
and thrown into the Mississippi river,
together with the machinery that was
broken up. The Tribune has been re-
peatedly asked what it was that the
Nauvoo Exposltor printed that go reused

him to take such drastic measures in

and the resolutions passed by those
members of the church in Nauvoo who
