THE REAL PEACE-DESTRoYERs.

Those who claim that The Tribune
seeks TO destroy the peace of Utah do
not pay attention TO the facts and do
not speak the truth.
The Tribune demands that the Nor
mon church officials shall cease to use
their ecclesiastical positions and in
hueDce TO control elections in this State
1t demands that the funds of the church
he retired from competition with pri-
vate enterprise and money. IT demands
that the leaders of the church cease
to impoverish their followers by TAX
ing away from them their hard earned
money under the false pretense that it
is TO be used in the service of the
Lord while it is turned into illegiti.
mate uses, some of which are positively
criminal. It demands that polygamy
be stopped. IT demands that these
things be done as keeping the faith
and the pledges given by the church
leaders in order to secure Statehood
for Utah.
Is there anything unrighteous in
them? Is The Tribune the peace-de
stroyer simply because it asks that men

THE PROOF IS PLAIN.

AS characteristic of the manner in
which the effort is made in certain
quarters here to mlSrepresent actual
conditions, here are two excerpts:
We again emphatically deny the con-
tention OF Tho Tribune and its party that
the church leaders have broken any
pledges. No pledges have been
broken by the church leaders or by their
permission.-Deseret News editorial. De-
cember 16. 1904,
We repeat, with the greatest possible
emphasis. that neither the church. nor
the church leaders. have at any time vlo-
lated any pledgo.-Deseret News editorial,
December 20, 1904.
And yet, on March 4th of that same
year. President Joseph f, Smith, who
is the chief of all the Mormon lead
crs, confessed to the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections that he was
pledge breaker. 1t is true that he
protested that the church as body
had kept the ante-Statehood promises
made to the country; ''but / have not
as an individual said be, "and ]
have taken that chance myself" One
of the distinct pledges made by the
Mormon leaders in order to procure
Statehood was that they would come
within and strictly obey the law, Speak,
ing for himself upon this subject, Smith
said that he made no claim to having
obeyed the law, adding, 81 have said
before that / prefer to stand my
chances against the law Proofs of
these statements may be found in the
official report of proceedings in the
Smoot case, volume l, pages 1876 and
1877. And as to the other leaders in
the church, Mr.. Smith said that all
of them who had plural wives were in
the same status as himself.
With respect to the church as body,
and as connected with this pledge
breaking, the organization is party
to the delinquency. 1t contributes to
the pledge breaking by reason of the
fact that it supports and maintains the
pledge breakers, both as to financial ad
vantage and high ecclesiastical prefer,
ment. But in this matter, as in all
others of the kind. the News feels il
proper TO say anything to fool tho

THE WRONG GROUND.

On Friday evening the church or
gan mad editorial comment on the propo
sitlon 10 erect n monument 10 Genera
! tonnor, that was in vastly difreren
Nein from so many ntterances by tha
organ on that subject, But il could
| not shake itself clear from the stanC
that il has taken all along, that Gen
eral Connor was mistaken or misrcprc
sented the feeling of this community
with respect to its loyalty to the United
/ States. General Connor made "A scath
( ing report about the disloyalty that wa,
rampant here and the treason that was
| spoutcd AT the Tabernacle on SUNDAYS
The church organ now appears will
ing to waive that. however, while still
perslsting in its false assertion Of the
loyalty of the church leaders. In or,
der to arrive at its present basis, il
ignores everything that occurred prior
TO 1865, and then proceeds to assume
that General Connor was not a man
who made up his own mind on what
he knew and observed but had 10
have his mind made up for him by 9TH
ers, and allowed himself 10 be misled as
TO the real attitude of the people and
of the issues here.
All that condcscending sort of prat.
tie is ludcrous TO those who knew Gen.
cral Connor. He was man of very
decided opinions, who never had the
least occasion to ask anyone to make
mp ms mind for him or to tell him what
to do or TO say. General Conuor was
not one who was led. He was a leader
of leaders. He was the first American
OF his time in Utah He was in the
vanguard IN the great fight for Ameri-
canlsm IN Utah, fight that is still
going on but with far more immediate
prospects of success than in General
Connor's S time. To propose a basis of
common work Of all toward a monu.
ment for General Connor on the theory
that General Connor was in need of
someone to make up his mind for him f:
was man that could be mislcd right
in the midst of things where he could
hear and see for himself; and that he
weakened in his zeal for and in sup.
port Of true American institutions for
Utah, is nonsense.
But there will be no barrier set up
against the cooperation of all in the
erection of monument for General
Connor That monument is clearly his
due, and if all will unite in erecting it
in the spirit Of harmony, good faith, and
loyalty, then everyone will be glad.
Barriers, so far from being erected,
viii be removed; and all will rejoice in
seeing by-gones made by-goncs in this
good work. But let there be no foolish.
ness about his being misled or that he
needed leadership of any kind. Gen
eral Connor was leader, not n fol
lower. This is known TO everyone, alike
to those who knew him personally, to
those who have read of his uttcrances
and his acts. and to those who know
the history Of the time.

In the country at large the trade

little gain either in volume or activity.
The general bank clearances do not

Tho situation in iron and steel is
rather better than week ago, but

But the market is better in the finished
