INSURGENTS CLEAN SWEEP.

Nebraska it appears that that State

United States Senate Bryan, stand

the progresslves seem to have won on

This result encourages the Insurgent
movement in Wyoming. so that former
Senator Joseph NJ. Carey, father of the
Carey Land Act is out rampant for the
nomination for Governor. We suppose
that Mr.. Carey will do the usual thing
by Salt Lake. just as Senator Warren
and the other political bosses in Wyo-
ming do. 1t will be pretty hard on
Carey, however, if Warren should get
the inside track with him at "head

DAVID WIHTMER, ONE OF THREE

BY the Mormon people much store is
set in the testimony of David Whit
mer, who is regarded by them as be.
ing chief among the "three Witnesses -
to the supposed divinity of the Book
of Mormon. On page 81 of "An Ad-
dress to All Believers in Christi he
says:
cerning matter. II he is deceived by his
own carnal desires. and is in error. he
Will receive an answer according to his
errlng heart. but ii will not be a revela-
tion from the Lord.
There could probably be no better
explanation for the polygamy "reve-
latlon' than this one given bv David
Whitmer, 1t is now a we'll known fact
that Joseph Smith had become so I'M
clean from a moral point of view, and
making the pretense that he did. that
1T was necessary for him to have a
revelation from the Lord' in order
to Justify" his uncleanliness. When
Joseph needed money, for instance, to
put the Book of Mormon fake on the
market, he had revelation COM
manling Martin Harris TO furnish it,
When Martin became tired of Joseph s
fakery, and impatient on account of
the lack of promised dividends, Joseph
compelled him to further contribute
monetary support to his fraud by hav.
ing E' the Lord'' issue command to that
effect. When he wanted "A home at
Nauvoo, bank at Kirkland, tannery
IN Missouri, or money from anybody
at any time, Joseph had a "revela
tion.''
Later illustration of the stupidity of
the Mormon belief is had in the fact
that when Joseph F. Smith, the present
head of the Mormon church, could in
no other way give an excuse for his
lawbreaking and defiance of God, he
said that he held the right to obey or
to disobey God, Just as he pleased. Be
ing the "prophet. seer and revelator -
chief of the Mormon church. he un-
doubtedly will be credited with having
received that impression by "revela-
tion," and according to his erring
heart as David Whitmer says,
If one would go sensibly through the
Doctrine and Covenants, one surely
would be able to see that the things
blamed TO the Almighty are merely
the products of men, and mighty weak
men, at that.

TIE RECKLESS FOLLY OF 1T.

1t neemH amazing that President Taft
should lend himself so completely to
the stand-pat programme as he appears
to be doing with respect to the Repub
lican convention and campaign in New
York. To carry it forward on those
lines would seem to be an invitation
to inevitable defeat; as though the Re
publican managers of New York were
''riding for fall
| To undertake to elevate the stand
pat standard in view of the constant
defeats that the stand-paiters have sus-
tained before the people, would seem
to be the madness of reckless folly. To
| tariff law. which has been thoroughly
discredited before the people. and
which is the worst case of chicanery
in the form of tariff legislation ever
enacted in this country, would be in
credible from the sane and practicable
standpoint.
And yet, according to the dispatches
this is what President Taft has decided
upon after n three hours talk with
Vice-Presldent Sherman, who appears to
be in charge of the campaign in New
York. Mr.. Sherman. of course, is an
old campaigner, and he ought to be
shrewd enough to lay out the cam
paign on practicable lines; but in view
of the evident feeling of the people all
over the country, as expressed from In
diana to the Coast, the hazard of lay
ing out campaign on those lines must
be apparent to any one who takes pains
to observe and to think.
Ex-President Roosevelt, in direct
interview, appears to consider himself
entirely out of it, since the committee
chad relieved him of all responsibility
In connection with the conduct and re-
suit Of the campaign so that Mr..
Roosevelt will not consider himself re-
sponslble in case of defeat, nor will
he claim the victory if victory comes,
His friends, however, do not seem to be
in this quiescent frame Of mind Mr..
Griscom, on the contrary, is rampant,
and threatens to carry the fight for
Roosevelt into the convention If he
does, there is great liability that the
convention will be stampeded in Roose
velt's favor for permanent chairman
1t is not likely that the fight for Roose-
velt would be carried to the discour-
teous extreme Of undertaking to dis
place Vlce-President Sherman as tenn
porary chairman, but there would be
no discourtesy to him In making Mr.
Roosevelt permanent chairman of the
convention; and this is doubtless what
Mr.. Griscom has in mind The prob
ability is, however, that Mr. Roosevelt
will keep entirely out of it, as he says,
and will no doubt call Mr.. Griscom off
in the interest Of harmony and to avoid
an open split in the party.
At the same time, it is clear that
the Republicans will go into the New
York campaign very much demoralized
and very much at outs, one faction
with the other. The Democrats have
been understood TO be about as badly
divided also, but it will be quite pos.
sible for them to get into harmony and
poll the full Democratic vote. If this
Is done, their chance Of electing their
State ticket is much better than it has
been for many wears in the past

A RIGHT SPIRIT SHOWN

The meeting Of the Governors in
Salt Lake City yesterday reached out
for good, vital lines. The sentiment,
aside from the swithcring of Smoot,
was overwhelming that the people of
the West are the ones that ought TO
enjoy the resources and advantages OF
the country while they are settling and
developing it. The idea that the East
can tell us better what we ought to do
with regard to preserving and utiliZ-
ing the resources of the region in which
we live than we can determine these
things for ourselves, is an unbearable
assumption Of superiority which has no
foundation in reason or In fact. The
settlers and industrial workers of this
Western country ought to have precise
ly the same liberty TO utilize what is
needed that others have had in such
case heretofore in the opening of the
domain of the Republic. That is what
is wanted No more No less.
The withdrawal of coal lands from
entry simply confirms the establishment
and maintenance of monopolies that al
any one interfering with those monopo-
lies. 1t shuts off anyone else from en-.
terlng the market or furnishing these
supplies of coal. 1t kills competition.
The forest reserve policy is mis-
nomer throughout It does not aim
places where the original trees have
been cut of. 1t simply is a grazing
TO handle the grass lands
and the allotment of grazing areas on
lands whore there never was and never
will be any trees. and where no one
proposes to put trees.
The reservation of land for the pur.
pose of withdrawing water power sites
from being taken Is a subterfuge. The
waters of the States, save only as to
navigable rivers and streams being util
lied for reclamation purposes by the
National Government, arc wholly with
in the jurisdiction of the States, and
always have been, Water rights are
not subject to be taken except as they
are utilized, That is the rule of the
Federal Government, and should be the
rule always. The bugbear that water
rights can be taken and held unused
for years in order to reau the advan-
tage of increased prices or of mono
polistic combines has no applica-
ton. The doctrine that water to be
held must be put to beneficial use is
a wholesome doctrine that the courts !
always apply and that they undoubted-
" would apply in case of unused water
sites or water sites held simply for
speculative purposes. At any rate, If |
there is the least fear of such holdings |
as that, the passage of a simple law
the universal rule that has
been applied by the courts all the time,
that water must be put to beneficial |
use if that water is to be held, would |
answer all purposes.
The Tribune is delighted to see the
spirit that is manifested at this, Gov |
ernors' meeting. 1t is an absolute ap.
Droyal of the position occupied all along |
by this paper, and given constant ex-
preston, The Pinchot policies are an
evil as applied to all this West
srn country. They must 90, and in
heir place we must have reasonable,
