homes is thirteen cents a day. The ay-
erage is 1917. OF course, there are
wide differences in the cost at different
home. For example, during part of
the fiscal year, from which Mr.. Cox
cites most of his figures, the Danville
branch of the home, the one with
which he is probably best acquainted,
was not run with a proper foresight,
owing to the death of the general man
ager. Consequently it did not keep
strictly within the limits of the appro-
priation allowed by congress and for
month or so it became necessary to re-
duce the cost of the ration to eleven
cents. That was the only one of the
homes branches in which so low a
rate was reached.
concerning the report of Maj. A.W.
Brewster, Nineteenth infantry, the of
ficer detailed by the department of war
for the purpose of inspecting the home
and its branches, from whose remarks
Mr.. Cox seems to have gained some Of
his charges, it is only necessary to re
mark that IN another part of his report
at several places, in fact--he took oe-
casion to praise the economic system
in force and the methods of the man
agement. 1t is true that he did crlti-
else some of the officers at the homes.
Such officers were promptly removed
there were only one or two of them. 1t
is difficult always to have officers OF
the best. A few poor ones will get in.
ain his estimates of the cost of the
home, Mr.. Cox is utterly wrong and
at variance with the actual figures.
He says that for the year ending June
so, 1898, the cost was S2,627, 14S, while
for the year ending June 80, 1908, ten
years later, the cost was S., 26S, 96S, al
though the number of inmates had
only increased from 1885, in 1898, to
1879, in 1908. The real figures of cost
were 81, 419, 032. 10, in 1898, and $4,l3O,-
594 "A in 1908.
sThe increase in cost was explained
in part by the slight increase in the
number of inmates, in part by the in
creased cost of living, and more par

THE REAL PLAGUE SPOT.

On Thursday evening the Deseret
News editorially emitted the follow
ing:
1t is no pleasure to the News" to pub
lish facts pertaining to the moral plague
spot OF the city. but duty demands that
some one call the attention OF the people
10 crying evil that will not be remedied
unless the sleeping public conscience is
aroused to the menace OF IL
But the great trouble with the church
organ is that it does not publish facts
pertaining to the moral plague spot of
the city 1T does directly the oppo-
site. The only reference it has made
TO that spot of late was locally, when
it said that the trumpet of Moroni
was TO be Strengthened up, 1t said not
word about what was going on un-
dcrneath the disarranged trumpet,
Every time that it has ever made ref
erence to this spot, II has simply falsi-
fed the facts; because it has denied
that any plural marriages have been cele-
brated in the Salt Lake temple since
1890 AS to the public menace attach
ing to these unlawful polygamous mar
riages in this particular ''plague spot
of the city, it has never warned the
public against the fact that the com
munity was being filled with illegiti-
mate children who were being thrown
out upon the world to marry with the
legitimate offspring of law abiding and
decent citizens. 1t has neve- made
mention of the fact that Joseph r.
Smith controls all Of the Celestial
sealing activities of the Salt Lake
temple, and that the polygamous crimi-
nails of Mexico and Canada have come
to the temple of Zion and had their
sins sanctificd by the president Of the
Mormon church in that delectable
sealing process. Whenever other
newspapers have called attention to
these things, the Deseret News has
said, "We are not in the habit of
scandalous stories that appear in the
columns of any paper And this, too,
it must be held in mind, in referring
to the cases of the Infamous Tanners

voring that ''pague spot with their
patronage, there would be no need for
anybody else to seek its suppression.
AS we have sand before, it is good
to see the Deseret News with even one
foot on the side of morality, but it
should not enter the fight halfway, nor
should it pursue the wrong method in
getting AT the real cause for immortality,
nor overlook the real plague spot

A SUGGESTED DELEGATION.

"Let Utah be there" urges the
Deseret News in making editorial ref.
erence TO a Washington dispatch open
ing with the following statement:
Senator George Sutherland of Utah is
anxious that his State should be well rep
resented at the reception Of Colonel Roose-
welt in New York, June is.
Speaking for Gus as n people, and
suggesting what "we as a people
consider to be a most representative
delegation TO this important affair
(meantlme keeping in mind well known
instances in precedent), how would
this do: Joseph f. Smith as chair
man, with as many conjugal possessions
annexed as he may see fit; John Henry
Smith vice.chairman and ditto; ApoS'
Ties Mat. Cowley and John W. Taylor,
honorable secretaries, with sacred but
unkept pledges attached; Elder Joseph
T.. Taylor as minister plenipotentiary
of the Big Polygamous Bluff; Elder
Miles A. Romney, poiygamous procurer
of denominations, as distinguished ennis
sary of the Melchisedek antirace sui
cides; Alpha j. Higgs, polygamous de-
stroyer Of tho virtue of church office
stenographers, as q bright and shining
example Of the glorious results Of our
"mutual improvement work; and
finally, Elders Bill Palmer and Ben +.
Rich to represent our clean missionary
service,
Of course. it may be necessary to
throw in a few respectable Gentiles in
order to avert any objection to the
effect that the delegation would not be
representative of the State-but we
don T know of any of the respectable
sort who would consent to go on the
Job, in such company.

A CoNTEMPTIBLE WRANGLE.

That was surely contemplate wran-
gle in the House of Representatives on
Thursday over a pitiful little deficit in
the payment Of the President s expenses
in his various trips through the coun.
try, IT is all the more contemplate
TO see such a wrctched little squabble
AS this when we consider that Con
gress will without hesitation pass bills
calling for millions, tens of millions
and even for hundreds of millions where
there might be a reasonable, straight.
forward opposition set up.
The wrangle was humiliating to the
country also in some respects; as that
part of it which raised the question
of guestship, hospitality, propriety of
criticism and all that sort of thing.
That is precisely what gentlemen as
rule do not discuss at all Every
one is supposed to understand the
proprieties of social intercourse both
personal and public, the amenities of
hospitality, and the disgust of referring
TO those things opprobriously after the
occasion is over. On the one hand it
was held discourteous for the Southern
President while he was on trip partly
through their own section. On the 9th
er hand, the Southerners complained
bitterly that their names had been CIV
on as the President s guests on por-
ton of his trip. or of his party at all.
It is humiIiating thing all around to
see such things brought up in Con
gress, On the general question in
volved, we do not see the propriety OF
raising any such ill-bred criticism on
either side. 1t is clearly an advantage
to the public to have the President visit
the different parts of the country from
time TO time, so that he may see for
himself and get first hand communica-
when he was here last year, distinctly
stated that his trip throughout the West
had given him new ideas and had
brought to his notice desirable informa-
ton and facts that be could not other
wise have obtained. Undoubtedly the
same thing applied in other sections
of the country. To raise petty obiec-
tion to the payment of reasonable ex.
penses on such a trip as President Taft
made last year is a clear discourtesy to
The President 8 Office and to the Presi-
dent himself; a mean and discreditable
opposition to what is r public advan-
tage; and small.spirited attempt TO
plug up the spigot while the buug
is knocked out. 1t is quite possible,
as Senator Lodge stated, that $780,,
100000 could be saved in the public
expenditures every year by business
like administration of them, but GER
tainly we see no indication of an effort
TO bring the appropriations to the basis
of any such saving as that. And when
it comes to a matter of saving, the at
tempt to cut down the expenses of a
Presidential trip throughout the coun-
try is mighty poor place to begin.
