there may be little earth tremor in
Salt Lake City. We gather from what

MEMBERS GETTING SCARED.

IT appears in tho dispatches from
Washington that the Republican Rep
resentatives in Congress arc dismayed
at the announcement from John
Dwight, the Republican ''whip' of the
House, that the session will hkely con
tlnue until July 18th. The members
arc dismayed at this. They were in
hopes of getting home by tho middle o;
next month, so that they could take
an carly hand in shaping tho cam.
paigns, whereby they hope to be re.
| nominated and reelected.
These men, especially the so-caled
"regular' Republicans. have much to
| explain to their constituents. The
fraudulent tariff bill which they passed
is now pretty well understood through.

ception. 1t does not do what il pur-
ports to do; it absolutely breaks faith

ton.
siderable uneasiness among those who
supported that bill, and whose votes
were in favor of this irritating law.
No wonder they are uneasy and want
to get home. They want to get the
plunge over and through the chill that
awaits them when they go TO their peo'
pie. The three special elections for
Congress show that the "stand-pat -
Republicans have little to hope for from
the people.
When on a straight tariff fight the
sold Colony" district of Massachu-
setts deserts the Republican ranks, and
next the stalwart Republican district
Of Monroe county, New York, elects a
Democrat, then surely it is plain that
"stand- patters who hope to win have
the fight of their lives before them.
No wonder they want to get home. But
when they get home it is very likely
that they will be anxious to get some
where else; because the Republican
sentiment throughout the great Repub-
lican States is against them in an IL
resistible torrent. This they do not
seem to understand when they are In
Washington and can palliate the situa-
tion among themselves and mutually en-
courage each other. But when they
separate, when each goes n single per
son among a multitude who will not
be slow to criticise, then the world will
appear in a different color. 1t has
something of a rosy tinge in Washing

of them the world will be altogethc:

ELDER M'MURRIN AGAIN.

In the issue of the Magrath (Cauada)
Pioneer of May II, 1910, We find a
brief report of quarterly conference
of the Taylor stake, at which Elder
Joseph w. McMurrin of this city was
one of the speakers. According TO the
Pioneer, he said that Mormonism is
the power of God unto salvation if
a person keeps the laws of the
church -
So that, presenting the reverse. if
a Mormon fails TO keep the laws Of his
church. then Mormonism becomes the
power of the devil 10 damnation And
especially would that seem TO be true
if one defied the church law as mat
ter of inclination and free choice.
A little further along in his address
Elder McMurrin said: "Men of the
world believe that so long as they are
leading good moral life, that is all
that is necessary for salvation,'' The
other thing necessary. according to MIR.
McMurrin, was obedience to Mormon
ism and the control of the Melchisedek
priesthood.
Here is presented a peculiar situa-
tion. Elder McMurrin reveres as his
highest exemplar on earth President 10.
seph F, Smith of his church. Mr.. Smith
has personally announced his prefer
ence for life in defiance of what
he says is the law of The church. Yet
undoubtedly Joseph +. is to have the
highest salvation, in the opinion of Nc
Murrin, simply because he is Of the
Mormon church whose pretended law
he defies specifically by leading an
immoral life.
On the other hand, as one may see,
the man who does not subject himself
to Mormon guidance, be he never so
moral in character, is to enjoy a lesser
salvation in the hereafter because he is
not within the church. Tt seems,
| though, that all of the particular Nor
mon cult of which both McMurrin and
Smith are members are "sealed up to
celestial glory" as against the conse-
quences of any sin, from bringing into
the world illegitimate children to way
laying and attempting to murder dep
uty United States marshal.

HEARsT's AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE.

We have received from Mr.. w. r.
Hearst Of the New York American,

sive defense against the allegations

nor exhibited this warrant and dwelt
very bitterly on the fact that the date
did not show as plain as he claimed it
should, as published in fac simile in
the New York American. AS presented
by Mayor Gaynor. this seemed to be a
matter OF bad faith, and he also dwelt
with equal herceness upon his claim
that the warrant was passed upon by his
predecessor in office, and that. as u
matter of fact. he did not pay it,
Mr. Hearst now shows that. in fact.
he did pay it, and this in spite of
warning received, Mr. Hearst quotes
ex-Mayor Mcclellan as saying that he
held up the warrant and directed that
Martin. his chief clerk. should call the
attention of the incoming Mayor to the
warrant as probably excessive. Mr.,
Hearst uses this fact which is after
all the main fact in the controversy.
to great effect Mr.. Hearst shows that
the nomination of Mayor Gaynor by
Tammany was brought about by Daniel

vestigation. In the rush of leaving Of.
fee, he had no time TO investigate the
warrant. but directed the chief clerk to
call Mr.. Gaynor s attention to it at once
when he came into office. There is no
positive evidence that the clerk did
this, but Mayor Mcclellan says that he
has no doubt that the chief clerk obeyed
his instruction.
The charge, therefore. made by Mayor
Gaynor against Mr.. Hearst appears
much in the nature of technical quib.

claim that he did not pay this warrant,
which he certainly did pay, and if it is
further true that his attention was
called to the fact that it was excessive,
then he did, in fact, commit the exact
offense Mr.. Hearst charged him with.
1t is now up to Mayor Gaynor to ex.
plain his charges, and TO show to the
public why it was that he claimed that
he did not pay this warrant when he
did pay it but ought not to have done

Instances of the compuisions of pow
erty are frequently met with in the
lives of men, Just now we have a
shining illustration of this same com
puIslon in the case of great author.
Gabrielle d d'Annunzio. A few years

tic voyage for the price of his cigarette
papers, One thousand dollars night
was nothing; and SO the project fell
through.
But now d 'Annunzio is of different
mind. He has managed to accumulate
magnificent debts, amounting altogeth
er in the money of his country to 400,
0G0 lire, or, say, $4,000, which surely
is a pretty round sum for an author
TO pile up in the way of indebtedness;
especially as he must have been for
many years in the enjoyment of a con
siderable income from his writings
Still, he is a high liver; and he con
siders an aeroplane necessity Of life
enjoys the experience of an aeroplane
fight, and longs for it daily. But that
sort Of thing costs lot of money, and
his creditors having waited about the
limit Of their patience, are now press
ing for their pay, as creditors are wont
to do the world around; and no one can
blame them.
But the effect Of these opportunities
on d'Annunzio is apparent and imme
date. He will undertake a lecture tour
in South America and be very glad
Of the chance to take it. But whether
he will get $1,000 lecture or not is
not stated. Probably he will be able
practically to dictate his own terms
and he is sure of a generous welcome
to Argentina and other South American
places, where the Italian population is
heavy and he can reckon surely on
hosts of admirers wherever he appears
OF course, an American tour would not
be complete without trip to the Unit.

South American tour. He is sure of
his ground in South America. There
can be good deal Of doubt, however
about his coming much money fror,

this country is not likely to care much
about d'Annunzio, while the average
citizen of the United States who knows
anything about him is apt TO hold him
in good deal of contempt, and this
with much justice.
