WHAT MADE THE CITY GROW.

AS is we'll known to all of our citizens,
it has only been since the progressives
here organized the American party that
Salt Lake has leaped forward in growth
TO an extent never before experienced
hereabouts. There is u reason for that
and the reason is that the men who
formerly had control of the municipality
refused to join in with any but their
own kind in any enterprise. There was
system of oStracism practiced that
constantly retarded Salt Lake and Utnb
and built up the Mormon church at the
expense of the commonwealth. This
is how they used to talk:
The Gentiles are coming among us to
buy our homes and land. We should not
sell to them, as they are enemies OF the
kingdom OF God. Said he had not sought
to be a vast land owner, but had never
Gods work.--F'rom Dixie Advocates re-
port OF sermon by Joseph r. Smith. de-
livered al st. George In September. 1904,
Probably there never was another
prominent ecclesiast of the Mormon
church who was quite so filed with
enmity against the Gentiles as was and
is Joseph F. Smith; but they all occa-
sionally talked in similar strain And
1T seems TO run particularly in the
blood of the Joseph +. Smith family to
rail against and Gstracize Gentiles, for
1T was but short time later that Apos
tie Hyrum M. Smith, at the Alpine stake
conference, gave vent to a similar male.

THE SMITH ATTITUDE.

AS to the Smith attitude with respect
to new polygamy and new polygamists
there is an utterance of Joseph +. that
tends to throw some light upon the sub
iect. While he was testifying in the
Smoot case he said:
II there Is anything gentlemen that !
despise II Is an Infamous Rpotter and in
former, and i am not one CT those.
wish 10 state that In order that II may go
down on record
So that if ono shall endeavor to bring
to light the polygamous crimes now be.
ing committed in the church, one is an
"infamous spotter. 1t is true that
Joseph T. is not one of these as he says
because on the contrary he assists in
promoting the polygamous recrudescence
by protecting the new polygamsts.
There is no doubt chat he has given his
official approval TO these marriages-in
fact, they never could occur except un-
der his authorization, because the polyg
amous law plainly states that he is the
only man on the earth having the power
to confer this special privilege upon

BORAH UP AGAINST 1T.

Senator William +. Borah of Idaho
is sufficiently fearless not to care about
it, perhaps, but he certainly has brought
himself under the ban of our bogus
prophets III making uncomplimentary
reference to Apostle Senator Reed
Smoot and Senator Sutherland of Utah.
Mr.. Borah s expressed opinion of these
men is that they are four-flushers. "
How vastly different from the opinion
expressed by Joseph F.! You see, Smoot
and Sutherland are the particular po-
litical wards of the prophet, and mas
much as they hold their places in the
Senate by his grace and selection, it is
natural that he should certify them, as
he did in the October conference of
1908, as the Deseret News told us in an
editorial of October 7th of that year
The News said:
The closing words of President Joseph
f Smith were feryent and eloquent
| tribute TO the integrity and ability of the
men who have represented, and are now
representing, the state OF Utah In the
halls of Congress He expressed his
the hope for Its continuance.
Now, what weight does Mr., Borah ex,
pect to attach to his uttcrance about
our Senators as against the word OF
''the Lord 8 anointed He may ina
ginc that he "did them to a brown
turn in calling them "four, flusncrs;'
but his "roast" must fall flat in the
presence of the "fervent and eloquent
| tribute of man who is reckoned by
his followers to be the mouthpieco OF
the Almighty.
But, somehow or other. there is some
sensible force to Mr., Borah 's words anC
we bespeak for them considerable be
lief on the part of men who are not
obsessed of the worship of false idols
and bogus prophets.

A COUNTY HOSPITAL JOB.

There has been some talk that the
County Commissioners were planning 10
erect county hospital, A good deal of
increolulity was expressed with regard
TO this, however, since there appears to
be ample hospital accommodation in
this city for all patients, and the sug,
gestlon of county hospital was looked
upon more In the nature of political
iobbery than anything else. if indeed
the commissioners persisted in their
reported plan OF erecting such a
hospital, of which there has all along
been good deal Of doubt
We see, however, that the County At.
torney has been authorized by the Com
missioners to prepare notices calling for
| plans for the erection of county
hospital near the present county in
| firmary, this hospital to be large
enough TO accommodate one hundred
lnfirm patients and twenty hospital
patients. There would appear to be no
particular reason for putting infirm pa
tients in Il hospital. They can be well
cared for in the usual accommodations
around the infrmary. Hospital patients
can be taken care Of III the city
hospitals TO any number desired.
1t will probably cost $4,000 or more
to build this county hospital. Thon
there would be the cost of maintenance,
which, under political iobbery, would be
very great There would be the inter.
est on the cost Of the structure, salaries
for sinecures, and after all was summed
up it would be found that that cost
of maintaining patients proper for
hospital treatment in the hospitals al.
ready established in this city would be
very much less than the cost of the
same IN this proposed county hospital
We believe that the proposed erection
of county hospital will be generally
condemned by the medical profession of
this city, as we'll as the general public
We have had such denunciation from
doctors who ought to know, and who
undoubtedly do know. all of the condi~
tions surrounding hospital work. both
private and public. 1t is the opinion of
such physicians that the project was
simply job, and we are fully of the
oplHipH tndC tnlS is the case.
If there can be found any way to in
terpose for the stoppage of this politi-
cal Job, we believe that the means
ought TO be utilized and the matter put
4 stop to. 1t is certainly bad policy
so far as the public interests are
concerned, to 90 to the expense of put
ting up a hospital like this when there
is abundant hospital room available in
this city, with the best medical and
surgical aid at command whenever there
is need. The County Commissioners
have made themselves so odious with
their lobbery that it is certainly time
some power interviewed between them
and their vicious projects A hospital
Is one of the greatest benefits possible
to humanity where it is needed; but
this sentiment, as other good things,
is susceptible of abuse, and wherever
there is any susceptibility for abusing

genious in finding it,
