Special Mark Of Esteem, While Every
one from Prince to Peasant,
vies in Showing Attentions.

Vienna, April 15.-'rheouore Roose-
welt was received at the Austrian cap
ital today in manner almost like that
shown reigning sovereign. The
punctilious Austrian court. the most
ceremonies Of those in Europe, had
arranged the program and it left moth
ing undone which could emphasize the
unprecedented honor which was being
paid the visiting American.
AS q special mark of his personal
esteem, the aged Emperor King
Fancis Joseph. received Mr.. Roosevelt
in his private apartments at the i'm
posing Hofburg palace instead of in
the regular audience chamber.
The monarch was extremely gracious
to the American ex-President and kept
him in conversation for s. minutes
What interesting subjects they found
to discuss have not TRANSFERRED, as they
were alone and Colonel Roosevelt nat
urally has declined to reveal the slight
est details of the conversation.
For Col. Roosevelt the call upon the
Emperor was one the main feature of
a very busy day, which began immedi-
ately after lie reached his hotel early
this morning, with a breakfast with
Henry White, former American am
bassador to France, who had not been
in Vienna since he began his dipio-
matte career here u years ago, under
President Taft's father, who was the
American minister.
The day included an official visit to

The News pretends that there is no

ing the names Of the known lawbreakers
from time to time. If that were true,
why docs the church organ make its
complaint? Surely method that is so
harmless as the News says this one is
deserves no serious attention. But its
true regard of The Tribune's forceful
and telling warfare upon the polyga-
nous crimes of the Mormon church is
exposed in the wall that the church or
gan sets up because of il.
And again we hear that old sopblstry
that even if there arc infractiOns of

countenance them and is not RESPONSE

sponsible for what the offenders call

Where is there higher authority in

the books were hidden away. For what
purpose? Simply to hide the new and
old polygamous crimes Of the lawbreak-
ing fanatics. This in itself is the fullest
proof that the church protects polygamy
and poygamists, old and new, and is
responsible for all. Whether there be
one or one thousand eases of new
polygamy, the Mormon church is re-
sponsible, because it encourages the
crimes by refusing to bring punishment
upon the offenders, either in the church
or in the courts of the State. 1t is
sure thing. also. that the cases we print
are not tithe of the whole number of
transgressors. And not one of this list
has ever denied his guilt.
If the Deseret News would show to
some effect that the Mormon church is
not responsible for new polygamy, let
it produce an instance of church pun
ismept of new polYgamy. 1t must ad-

SELF HELP IS BEST.

From Mr.. j. NJ Lamb, who resides at
Roosevelt, Utah, The Tribune has re-
ceived a communication bearing upon
the matter of tithcs and their e1pendl-
ture by the Mormon leaders, and CON
tanning a suggestion as to one ave
nue. through which helpful appropria-
tion might be made.
Mr.. Lamb calls attention to the fact
that great part of the tithing money
is utilized in various and numerous In
dustrial, commercial and financial insti.
tutions. complete list of which as
been given by The Tribune heretofore,
He also calls attention to the fact that
many of these investments are not at
all helpful to the Mormon people who
contribute to the tIthe fund. His sug-
gestion pertains to a need which is felt
by the people of his town, He says that
Touring mill would be of immense
help to them, stating meantime that
they have there an experienced miller.
This miller now proposes TO erect a
Touring mill, although financially un-
able to do so. Mr.. Lamb wants to
know why President Joseph T. Smith
could not order that the tithes collected
from the saints in Roosevelt be sub.
scribcd toward defraying the cost Of
the Touring mill, after deduction of the
expense of collection, for period of
two years. Hc thinks this would bo
putting the money to much better use
than it is sometimes applied to.
In one respect The Tribune would be
unable TO give approval to Mr.. Lamb IS
plan, because we oppose the church in
any sort of commercialism. On the 9th
the church were TO be countenanced in
any such activity at all, he suggests
plan that is Of as high merit as
could attach to any in the realm of
commerce.
But The Tribune has a suggestion to
offer. Why not the people of Roosevelt
quit paying the tithe money over to the
church, to be diverted in other and less
commendable directions, and devote it
of their own accord TO the building of
Touring mile If it is right for the
church to expend church money in com
merce. why IS it not right for the
church members who donate that church
money to do likewise in self help of n
struggling little community ga bird
in the hand Is worth two in the bush. -
Why not retain the money in hand Ait
will be worth infinitely more there than
in the capacious maw of the church,
where it is swallowed up and goes out
in directions and to individuals of which
and whom the contributors wot not.
Let the Rooseveltians keep their own
money and expcnd their own cash and
build their own Touring mill. That
would seem to be the better plan.

THE NEW POLYGAMISTS.

On Saturday evening the Deseret
News editorially gave ample evidence
of the fact that it favors the present
recrudescence of the polygamous prac-
tice within the Mormon church. and
that 1t is disposed to screen and defend
new polygamists. 1t says:
But we humbly submit that repetition
of Il score OF names. or half n hundred
of names. even If the allegations were
true. does not prove what The Tri-
bune wants TO prove. II 1t proves any
wrong. for we may depend upon it. II II
really had any proofs it would not be
under the necessity Of resorting to such
q transparent trick The very trIckery
proves the weakness OF the cause,
Here we have the same old hypocrit-
ical cry. "You can't prove it" The
Deseret News is aware of the true con-
dition of affairs as affecting the un~
lawful practice which it seeks to cover
up. 1t knows that il is absolutely i'm
possible for an outsider to furnish con-
victing proof. because it knows that not
even the women victims Of the polyga-
nous cult could supply that evidence.
would, bring proof of the polygamous
relationship maintained but so far as
furnishing legal evidence of the unlaw
full ceremony is concerned, they would
be as powerless as an outsider. Be
sides, evidence Of the existing relation
ship would rather tend TO depreciation
of the character of the women because
Of their participation In this relation
ship; and for that reason it is not to be
expected that such evidence will be
| Forthcoming from that source. The man
could supply the proof-and, metaphori-
cally, hang himself Which he. Of
course. Will not do. The priest who per
formed the ceremony could testify TO
that fact; but thereby he would give
the whole snap away. And yet, even In
this latter case, there is possibility
that his evidence would not count. II
tho man and the woman were deter
mined to combine in screening them
selves from q charge of new polgamous
marriage, as naturally they would. they
could deny even the priest IS testi-
mony; and the two against the one
would constitute a preponderance of
evidence in denial. The matter is so
arranged that no positive proof can be
obtained-the parties TO these ployga-
nous crimes are so situated that neither
could we'll move against the other with
out self conviction. And the whole Off
cialdom of the Mormon church. as well
as the church publication agencies. are
always ready to step forward and deny
any and all charges In this matter. The
church supplies money. Influence and
other assistance to enable new polyga.
nous criminals to evade or escape the
law. The entire cult is in one united
