WHY THEY LIKE DIAz.

In the News of Friday evening Bishop
w. Derby Johnson, Jr., bishop of the
Diaz ward in Mexico, gives a character
stic priestIy interview about Old Mexil
co which reminds one OF the ecclesi"
assists toadying to Roosevelt and Taft
in this country. Bishop Johnson states
that everything down there is all right,
prosperous and progressive, and that
President Diaz is "the Grand Old
Man, Any American who will take a
trip through the southern republic will
decide contrary TO this elders enlight-
ened opinion The whole thing with
such men as Bishop Johnson is simply
this: President Diaz permitted the
Mormous, those who went to another
country in order to live their lustful
practice of plural marriage, to plant
settlements in a barren region, thinking
that if they succeeded in redeeming tho
most useless land there Mexico would
be the better for it. Since that time
the church has kept OH good terms with
Diaz, humhing themselves to him and
his regime, buying Mexican slave labor
and calling it the Lord S country.
Bishop Johnson knows. in his twenty,
five wears of Mormon colonization and
polygamous successes, that the saints
have gone through literal hell wherein
the big fish have got rich as usual; that
Mexico is three hundred years behlnc:
the times, and fit place for such as he.
If he does not know this, then il is be
cause he Is too ignorant to understand
simple truth. In Mexico man is
guilty before the law until he proves
himself innocent, The common people
of that country are worse off than were
our American negroes IN slavery. Poems

notched pole ladders for the equivalent.
in our money, of ten to twenty-fiya
cents per day, living on corn bread and
bacon, together with the century plant
whisky. In the plantation regions of
the southern portions, slavery exists as
it did three centuries ago under Span
ish rule.
The Spanish population are, as rule
the rich class and own the country
| (that which American capitalists have
not takcn), while the majority are ig.
norant, poor, and downtroddeu as any
people on earth. So far as the people
wOrshlping Diaz, there is,no truth in il
cases, are made to believe that he Is
the whole government (Which he really
lis); but those who are what might be

MARTINS INVESTIGATION.

The dispatches tell us that Represent
ative Martin of Colorado has succeeded
in getting the House to agree to order
an investigation of the illegal sales
of the Friar lands in the Philippines
Incidentally it is to be sort of rakcall
Investigation by the Interior Depart
mon of the Philippine Government; but
the investigation of alleged illegal land
deals in the Philippines "or elsewhere u
is to be specific public inquiry.
Now, we believe that Representative
Martin is on the right track, decidedly,
in demanding an investigation of the
sales of land in illegal quantities in
the island of Mindoro, to agents of the
sugar trust. The Interpretation of
| Attorney General Wickersham to the
effect that the limitation on the acquire
ments of lands in the Philippines was
made before the purchase of tho F'riar
lands and that therefrom the limitations
do not apply to those lands, seems to
lis to be technical, far-fetched and un-
sound. Representative Martin evidently
believes this also, and wants the facts
officially developed, so that the sales
may be invalidated through a court
process. We believe he is on firm
ground in his position in all this, as
the law stands, and trust that he may
succeed, not only in developing all the
facts in the case, but also in establish
ing the illegahty of the sales.
At the same time, we believe that
the policy of the law limiting sales of
lands in the Philippines is wrong. We
believe that if the Philippines had been
thrown open to the exploitation Of
American capital, precisely as Cuba and
Porto Rico were thrown open, and also
as the home Territories were thrown
open successfully to the investment OF
American capital and the settlement of
American citizens, the Philippine ques-
tion would have been practically solved
by this time and the islands in that
group would have been on a self
sustaining basis in place of demanding
appropriations of tens of millions of
dollars every year to maintain our hold
there and to support the military and
civil blishmentS that we keep up
for them To take possession of for
eigu country, as we have done of the
Philippines and hold American capital,
enterprise and settlement away from
them, as we have done, seems to us the
widest folly There is not the least
excuse in the world for it, and the
United States will have to change It's
policy altogether in the Philippines or
get out of that region and let some
other nation 90 in that will occupy and
develop as we have failed to do.

THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE SUNDAY MORNING. JUNE &c. 1910

British hold on Egypt more and more
insecure.
1t Is a very serious dilemma. Such n
thing as setting aside or putting down
by force the dictum of the highest au-
thorized interpreter Of Mohammedun
law and religion would be SO serious n
matter that even the refusal to execute
the death sentence might be preferable
to 1T, although a vast deal of prestige
which can i'll bo spared would thereby
be sacrificed,
The Grand Mnfti of Egypt is, of
course, not only the highest official in
terpreter of Moslcm law, but is also the
highest exponent Of the Mohammeddn
religion. His decision is, in fact, more
religious than civil, his jurisdiction be-
ing primarily religious and secondarily
civil, In the Mohammedan administra
tiou the civil law is subordinate to The
religious throughout, so that the Grand
Muftl s decision in this case asserts the
religious doctrine that believer can
not be executed for killing an unbe-
liever. The question then rccurs to The
proposition whether the execution of
this assassin would be religious persecu-
tion or not. According to the ecclesi-
astical view in Utah, the Grand Mufti
IS on solid ground when he forbids this
execution and proclaims that to over
ride his ruling would be an assault upon
religion. 1t is question that we would
be glad to hear tho church organ ex-
pound in the light of the ecclesiastical
claim made here that the religious
despots of Utah have a right to over
ride the civil lawl If the civil law con
flicts with their "religious rights. u
Here is question well worthy of THEFT
subtlest analysis, and we should be GLAD
to hear from them on the point. For.
it it is "religion persecution to assert
the supremacy of the civil law in Utah,
why is it not also ''religious persccu-
tion' to assert it in Egypt

THE CRITIC CRITICIZED.

II is inevitable that the man who
talks much and strongly will be replied
to with such lteenpess and strength as
is possible, Mr.. Roosevelt took oeca'
sion while in Egypt to discuss the local
political affairs of that country, giving
much offense to the Egyptian National
lists and sort of terrorizcd approval of
British officialdom there and in Eng
land. He followed this up by radical
speech in England, where he practic-
ally told the British either to rule
Egypt with a. strong hand or get out
Of that country altogether. Naturally
this invited rccrimination, and we find
in the New York Evening Post brief
editorial summary Of the answer on this
point made by the Manchester Guard.

Which appears TO be q pretty stiff re-

The assassination of Boutros Pasha in
Egypt was by Mohammedan- Boutros
Pasha was Copt. The assassin has
been condemned TO death by the civil
courts of Egypt, but, according 10 the
requirements of Egyptian law, tine sen
tence of death cannot be executed until
it is approved by the Grand Mnfti The
sentence of the assassin was accord
ingly sent TO the Grand Mufti for his
approval, but he decided that the Koran
does not Justify the execution of a be-
lever who has killed an unbeiever with
revolver, which is weapon not men
toned at all in the Koran or in Moslem
lazy. Accordingly, if the British gov
erngent proceeds to execute the sen
tence upon the Mobammedan assassin
it not only violates Mohammedan law
which Theoretically at least is supreme
in Egypt in all such cases, but it sets
aside the decision of the highest &c
closiastical and legal authority in
Egypt. If, however, the death sentence
is commuted, the government would BIZ

in Egypt would be scorned for its weak

The Duke Of Sutherland advocates an
alliance between this country and
for such step the other day in New
York. The Anglo Saxon race should
get closer together; there is no reason
for their doing otherwise. One Ian
guage and one literature, the same am.
bitions, the same interests in the
world s welfare, will eventually bring
the English speaking nations into some
kind of closer union. There should be
no strife between Uncle Sam and John
Bull.
