it is quite true, as the Post says
that the proposed restriction would
hamper the development of all this
mountain region. IT is also true. as we
have many times stated, that the set
tiers of all this arid country are suf-
ferers from the miscalled conservation
policies, as no settlers in any part of
the United States have ever been re-
stricted before Always heretofore. the
resources of the region were open to
the settlers. 1t is only now, and in the
hardest part of the whole United States
TO develop, that the settlers arc hemmed
in by restrictive devices and denied the
opportunities and liberties heretofore
freely accorded to all for the taking.
AS TO this proposed Mondell bill no
doubt it must carry relief to the set
tiers by way of fixing a time when
their right to the lands they may enter
will become absolute, For, we all know,
the government investigation as to
whether land is coal land or not, is
liable to be long drawn out. And the
entry man does not want to wait till
his grandchildren become Of age before
ascertaining his rights.

POSTAL SAVINGS BILL PASSED.

The u. S. Senate In a prolonged seS'
sion has passed Il much patched and
Inconsistent bill TO create postal saw.
tions. The condition of the measure
is due TO the importunatc determination
Of Senator Carter, in charge of the bill,
TO get it passed, binding to its sup
port any one who made a show OF
strength in offering amendments, by
! " that tho House will completely re.
model tho bill, following the Senate
precedent as 10 the tariff bill, which
the upper house of Congress made over
altogether, from the form in which the
lower house passed it.
When ex-senator John C. Spooner de-
livercd his opinion that there was 70
authority under the Constitution for the
passage OF such a bill. unless it could
be found in the borrowing power Of
Congress, and when other eminent CON
stiuutional lawyers, as Root and Bailey,
concurred in that view, and when Sen
ator Root offered his amendment
squarely resting the bill on that power
it was inevitable that the Senate must
yield. And then came Smoot with his
draft OF an amendment putting the idea
into compromise form, and the bill as
passed carries his wording, allowing
the Government to withdraw postal de-
posits from the banks IN which il has
put them, whenever the credit of the
Government requires it, and invest the
same in U. S. bonds. This is evidently
a halfway proposition between the
view that these postal deposits should
remain in the banks, and the view that
they must be invested in L. 5. bonds,
bringing the measure, technically at
least, as evidently hoped, into the bor-
rowing provision of the Constitution
II is very doubtful, however, if this
verbal iugglery will help the validity
of the proposed law. For, it being not
primarily question of Government
need TO borrow, but Only an ultimate
refuge, the case would stand before the
courts precisely as though this amend
ment had not been inserted. And when
1t is seen, further, that Senator Borah 8
amendment to Smoot Is amendment was
also taken on, il is evident that the
case is made worse and worse; for as
the bill now reads, il would never be
possible for the Government credit to
be on a two per cent basis, as 1T has
been heretofore, if these postal depos-
It's are to be utilized by the Govern
ment as loan; for the Borah amend
ment expressly and absolutely requires
that all Government bonds taken by
these deposits must draw at least pa
per cent interest.
And thus the absolute need of COM
plete revision, and largely rewriting,
of this bill by the House is impera-
tive, In It's present form it is clearly
adverse to the interests of the National
And besides, as 1T OBJ
scures the very basis upon which the
measure confessedly must rest, 1T isl
certain to be invalIdated
by the u. s. Supreme Court, as having
no warrant in the Constitution for its
existence.

THOSE SMITH CRIBBINGs.

Some days ago Tho Tribune printed
in parallel columns the Beatitudes ms
carried in the New Testament, and the
bunging variant of these as given IN
!he Book of Mormon. The proof was
clear that the imitation was cribbcd
perversion. The church organ denies
this, and asks what sense there would
be in plagiarism so sure 10 be cx-
posed. To which the obvious reply is
that il is quite of n piece with so many
other yimpudent impostures from the
same source, that the query of the or
one case The presumptuous outgivlng
of an alleged "inspired translation
of the Bible is another, and this is so
gross an imposture and fraud that even
the Mormon priests themselves refuse
TO have ANYTHING to do with it. The
stealings from other sources arc equally
plain, and equally subject to exposure
but that did not prevent their use. And
every time there is such theft 1t is for
the worse: Il presentation Is made
which is shoclinEly inferior to the
source from which il is taken; and this
absolutely disposes of any prctcnsion
to divinity in the Smith stuff. The
whole process reminds one of tho story
of plain old Mennonite, who hated
show and despised beauty; and who,
on buying a wagon that was bright
with paint ard polish. took a broom,
dipped it in mud puddle, and smeared
the wagon with the slime.
The organ is guilty in its argument
Of the grossest offcnso known to log.
icians; of begging the whole question.
II assumes that Jesus Christ spoke his
Sermon on the Mount on different oc-
casions, and that he spoke it to the
Nophites IN America. To accept this
latter, however, is TO accept the Nor
mon claim and foundation, which is
the very thing denied, and there is
not the least credible evidence to sap
port it, AS to the varying versions in
the gospel narratives, they are no
greater than might be expected in ac
counts transmitted In whole or in part
Dy "OTu Oh mouth, Jney All pIpbdplJ
came from one original source.
The organ delivers "learned' dis
course on the different versions of the
synoptic gospels as to this and other
matters related, and on the variations
in translation. To all such puerile stuff
it is needful only TO reply in the words
of Job TO his presumptuous friend,
Zophar, the Naamathite, "Yea, who
knoweth not such things as thesc?'
All that is absolutely aside from the
question. 1T is a perfectly plain case.
The Christian gospels were easily ac-
cessible to any one. they contained Just
the sort of material required for such
a work as the Book Of Mormon; and
they were used in bunglng ignorant
way, Just as would necessarily be eX.
pectcd from an ignorant person; and
Just as the form of religious service
was copied and followed, as known to
Joseph Smith And it must be said
that in his cribbings from the Christian
Scriptures for his HBible' and new
he made an exceedingly
poor Job.
