report that came from it WAS the specch
of Governor-clect Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey, which took decided grounds
against the Capitalization Of the public
affairs in the National Government and
in favor Of the emphatic assertion Of
local rights and State powers.
In all such speeches, however, sight
is lost Of the vast difference between

nal States, aud in Texas, the Nation
has no public domain, and never had
any save as it bought land for National
purposes. In all the other States, on
the other hand, tho Nation owned the

1t Is Idle in all that matter to assert
the authority or rights of the States,
for the State has neither authority nor
right IN the matter. And il would be
4 sorry time if they ever get any au-
tbcrity over the public lands. For

We have Just seen campaign in
Idaho where the people have set their
seal of condemnation upon corrupt
land board. The Tribune has printed
accounts of iobbcry and loot by our
own State land board And we all know
that the school lands Of this State
have been practically given away,
whereas if they had been properly
handled they would by this time have
yielded so much revenue that no State

Governor elect Wilson is great man;
he may be elected President two years

A FEW MORE "sPoRADICs.u

From Mexico We have received an

A WINGER WINGED.

We have received copy of thu
%, 1910, in which appears a statement
made by Elder Harold d. Wingcr, who
is laboring in that vicinity as Nor
mon missionary. Elder Winger make:
the usual complaint that his church and
it's activities arc misreprescntcd, and
goes on TO say:
The time Is coming when we shall be
known We are. and not as VIC arc
represented by the world. We court in
qGiry and ask for an expose Of all the
doctrines we teach.
1t is probably well for such young
men as Elder Winger that rho people to
whom they make such bold assertions
arc not properly informed upon condi
tions in Utah, else they would often
"'comc a cropper, to use familiar
term. While Mr.. Winger protests in
that statement that the church leaders
are not in politics. and courts full in
quiry into aud exposition Of practices
here under the Mormon rule, we
arc of ,ic opinion that he would be
d
sons upon these matters. IL is true that
there has never been law passed by
the Legislatures of Utah that has not
received the approval of the church
chiefs. Nor has there been law ap-
proved by these men that has failed of
passage. No Governor of Utah has ever
vetoed measure which the church au-
thorities desired 10 have signed; and
no executive has failed to veto any
such that did not meet the approval of
the hierarchs. No Governor or other
State official has ever been elected in
Utah who was persona non grata with

e SECRETARY TINGEY ACTIVE.

Secretary Of State Charles S. Tiugey
has announced that he will do what h,
can toward the elimination of tho coal
trust. II is a good announcement. He
will send notices to tho coal companies
warning them to withdraw from their
combine within thirty days If they
do not. he will present the case TO the
State S Attorney General, and if that
Official thinks there is legal case
against the companies. he will begin
the litigation, presumably to dissolve
the cobmbinc
This looks like straight business, and
VIC trust that the Secretary may win.
II he does, he will be big man And
the Attorney General will also be big
man, ii he begins the suits and wins
them. But to prove combine is an
elusive proposition. as was manifest in
tho Sharp case. which was much
stronger case against the combine than
any now IN sight. Suits Of this kind
are exceedingly difficult to win. and
to get TO stay won. but wo shall all hope
for the best in Secretary Tlngcy's cf
forts
And now, since the Secretary has
thus determined TO enforce the law
against combines in case such enforce
meut is found possible. we trust that
he will not overlook the vicious local
sugar trust, whose headquarters are in
this city, and whose double cxtortions
on the. farmers in the low price of
5cets and on the public in tho high
price of sugar-arc so unjust and OPP
prossive. In former wears, the farmers
got $3.50 a ton for their bcets, and paid
$3.50 hundred for sugar Now the
farmers get no more for their bccts
than formerly. but have to pay $6 and
upwards for their hundrcdwcight of
sugar, Every season there is Il revolt
among the farmers against this inJus-
tice; and there arc threats every year
by the farmers that they won't raise
bccts at the old low price. But every
year President Joseph +. Smith of the
Mormon church holds up the hands Of
President Joseph +. Smith Of the sugar
trust, by counseling" the farmers to
go right on raising bccts-and they
'obey COUNSEL - like tho good Saints
that they are; for 10, if they did not,
would not their souls be in peril of

Here is reilly a much better case for
Secretary Tingcy to act upon than the

The coal suits win first. And when they
are won, the ease against the local
sugar trust will be plain sailing. That
rust is evident: it is, in fact, on rec
,rd. through the consolidation Of the Sill
gar companies under the presidency of
Joseph r, Smith. 1t will be the easiest
hing in the world for the Secretary of
State to bring tho sugar trust to ac-
,ount before the law, when he has
opened the way by the conviction of
