THE BALLINGER COMMITTEE.

The complication in st. Paul in the
Congressional Committee that has beer
Investigating the charges against Mr.
Ballinger appears to be petty an6
fully partisan The majority of the
committee is Republican, and supposed
to be in favor of Ballinger. The ac
tion Of those of the majority members
who were present in St Paul lends
strength to the supposition that they
were for Ballinger; but of the mem
bership present in the city tho op
ponents of BalGnger were in the ma
iorlty; and though enough were there
to form quorum of the committee, the
anti 'Ballinger faction would be the ma
lority Of that quorum, although not OF
the full committee. Those not present
In the city were probably all Ballinger
mon, but the Ballinger forces were
taken unawares and were disorganized
and scattered
The minority, being anti Ballinger,
took partisan advantage of the situa-
ton; claimed the presence of a quorum.
although a quorum was not In atten
dance, and under that claim passed
resolutions of lack OF confidence in
and censure upon Secretary Balllnger.
Those members of the committee who
were in st. Paul and who favor Mr.. Bal
llnger, were put in a ridiculous, sneak
ing position. Tho minority were or
ganized and were on hand; the ma
iority were disorganized and discom-
fitted They were made ridiculous, If
not contemplate, before the country.
If they were for Ballinger, as tho IN
dications appear, then they should
have been there, supporting their
opinion and giving the majority Of the
committee it's due weight and sway.
To be caught unawares like this is dis
creditable to them, and they appear
before the American people as truants
appear before the teacher when they
show up in school.
The incident shows anew the force
Of organization and determined pur-
pose. The minority claimed committee
action, and they carried out that claim
in a way that puts the majority under
n cloud No donbt the majority can
and will make its report vindicating
Secretary Ballinger, as it ought to do;
but he has Just reason to complain OF
the majority for allowing him to- be
put in the compromising position that
the feeble course of that majority
places him It is altogether unjust to
him, precisely as it is silly perform
ance altogether, calling forth the Just
scorp of a candid public sentiment.

merry opening of the festive battle in
THE EARLY CLOSING.

We print this morning statement
from the merchants in this city who
have been closing their stores for the
Saturday afternoon holiday and at 6
o clock on Saturday evenings. They
entered upon this experiment at the
solicitation Of a respected committee,
with the idea of bettering the cond.
tion of their clerks, and also on the
understanding that competitive con-
Germs would close during the times
named.
| In this statement ii is shown that
the movement has not been general. as
expected. The closing, therefore, has
not been satisfactory either to their
customers or to themselves. There has
been complaint from laborers and others
that the only time they have to do
their shopping properly and, especially
in conjunction with their wives, which
is often desirable and even necessary
Is late on Saturdays. and that the Satur.
day afternoon holiday closing and the
Saturday night closing shuts them out
from making the purchases as they de.
sire
In consequence Of this, the signers
say that they have suffered loss which
amounts to $l50,000. AT the same time,
they appreciate the feeling that led the
committee to which they address their
statements to urge the closing; and they
suggest that if all agree TO the closing
they will be willing to close again on
and after January first on Saturday aft.
ernoons and Saturday evenings, and on
the evenings before holidays, at 6 in
the evening. In the meantime, how.
ever, in view of the fact that compet-
ing concerns have not closed, and in
view of the losses suffered and the com.
plants of their customers. they will re.
same their former hours, keeping open
as formerly until 9 o'clock on Satur |
days and on the evenings before holi.
DAYS.
We consider that the business men
who signed this statement are fully JUS
tined in their action. They made an
honest, faithful trial of the closing
hours, and find that the closing is TO
lheir disadvantage. Not only so, thev
md 1t is to the disadvantage of large
numbers OF their customers, who by this
'arly closing are deprived of the cppor
unity TO make the purchases that they
ieslre as they have been accustomed TO
10 The general public will agree. we
.mnk, that these signers have done
'heIr full duty, and will support them
in their present position.

ITS CRAWFISH DAY.

| Yesterday appeared to be Hcraw-
fish, day with the Smoot paper in this
city 1t is not so long ago that il ele-
waited its hands in sanctimonious horror
when Mr., Roosevelt was named by n
gentleman of the city, in public CON
vention, as a man to be ashamed of.
At that time the Smoot paper went into
pious fits, as though q shocking sacri-
lege had been committed. And vet,
yesterday morning it had bitter at
tack upon Roosevelt because of his ac-
tion towards the Hamilton Club in Chi
cago.
1t is not so long ago that the Smoot
organ devoted page of editorial eu-
logy to Uncle Jesse Knight of Provo
as one of the great men, not only of
Utah, but Of his generation. But vet
yesterday morning it pilloried him as
designing plutocrat, as willing to
'opeu n barrel' if the Democratic
party would declare for prohibition in
Utah; but that he would do nothing
for his party if it did not so declare
That is, it said that Knight is prepared
to spend lavishly, and perhaps corruptly.
If he can have tho debating Of the
Democratic platform. And this from 9
source which was so recently passing
lavish eulogies upon Mr.. Knight. and
which praised him without STINT two
years ago when he refused to be the
Democratic candidate for Governor. It's
praise at that time was called forth by
the fear, which was pretty well iusti
fed, that if Knight were the Demo.
cratic candidate he would be elected
But to follow such fervent euloey with
such slanderous assaults now makes tbe
crawish complete. And when we add
that the story it now prints against
Knight is wholly false, its turpitude is
evident
Two years ago the Smoot paper was
making tremendous plea for probjbi.
tlon IN Utah. 1t was running big typed
oox articles on its front page every
day showing the supposed benefits that
would accrue if we had prohibition in
this State. All at once, however. II
dropped the prohibition fight, and now
~ comes out with strenuous effort m |
shift the fight for prohibition onto rhe
Democratic party.
Three distinct and absolute crawGsbes
In one day on matters that are of i'm
portance would seem to be about tba
unit. In fact, IL establishes a new
record. ho"

ers that failure to support them in their
ohenses is an evidence of guilt of evil
doing.
Now, even il there be some Mormon
elders who are willing to permit their
SHINING leaders to extinguish every
spark of reason in them, they should at
least have the decency to refrain from
insulting more intelligent men who do
not see as they do. That sort of bigotry
is evidence Of an extremely low order
of intelligence. whether natural or cul-
tivated, and its exhibition in no wise
does the Mormon cause any good.

THEIR NSINUATING ISLANDERS.

We hear that bigoted supporters OF
our notorious law-defiers are still pur
suing the old policy of making insult
ing intimations to progressive men who
differ from them in thought and con
duct. 1T was only the other day that
a young Mormon was approached By
one of these fanatics and told that
there must be something wrong' be
eanse he rebelled against the hypocrisy
and the lawbreaking of the church
leaders. The inspiration prompting such
attacks. however, comes from high
places. Ever since the founding of the
church the leaders have thrown out
these insults, a sample of which is seen
in the following;
No man ever apostatized from the
Church of Jesus Christ OF Latter-day
Saints who, was ,guiltless OF sin. The
worse the sin he has committed the more
bitter will be his opposition to the truth,
let me impress that upon you.-From
sermon OF Joseph r. Smith at Cache
stake conference, Logan Journal, Octo-
her 20, 1907.
This is one of the many methods en-
ployed to frighten the Mormon people
into support Of sin, Notwithstanding
they may feel natural resentment to-
ward the sinners. In the minds of the
Mormon people there is but one greater
offense against God than apostasy. This
his been ground into their very beings
from infancy. or from the moment that
they became converts to the creed. To
|apostatize is to "deny the Holy Ghost, -
and that is the one great sin next to
shedding innocent blood
1t matters not how clean at heart a
man may be, or how upright his daily
llfe, he is subject to the accusation
made by Joseph +. Smith if he express
resentment against what are the self.
confessed wrongdoings of the bogus
prophets. 1t IS curious that the Mormon
people do not see the unreasoning fanat.
lclsm of the thing. Joseph +. Smith
for instance, admits that he is defiant
of the Almighty and Of the law of the
land, yet he claims to be n good man
because he does not apostatize from the
church. II doing evil prompts one to-
leave the Mormon church, how is il
that the self'confessed sinner, Joseph +.
Smith, not only remains within the or
ganization, but holds the highest posi-.
tion of power within that body? In

there must be something wrongp be.
cause OF his dlsnffcction from the church
is a clean and upright young citizen,
who has done no wrong toward his
neighbors. his friends, the law, the
State or the Nation. Yet he must be
insultlnglv accused of wrongdoing by
a fanatic simply because he refuses to
support the lawbreakers, and because
the fanatic has. without thinking for
himself, been taught by those lawbreak-

HAMILTON CLUB FoULED.

The Hamilton Club incident, in which
Mr.. Roosevelt demanded that the invl
tation to Senator Lorimer should be re
scinded or he would not accept Tho
club s invitation 10 the banquet in hi:
honor, is certain to stir club life pro
foundly from coast to coast. Mr. Lori
mer was a member in good standing OF
the Hamilton Club AS such he was en-
titled to all Of the rights and privileges
Of club membership. The club profrered
a banquet co a distinguished guest, and
that guest taboos Mr., Lorimer, a mem
Der of the club; thereupon the chair
man of the delegation which extended
the invitation to the guest notifies the
club member that he cannot attend the
banquet. And this while he is under
no disability whatever, either before
the club OF before any tribunal.
1t was an outrage upon Mr. Lorimcr
as a member of the Hamilton Club,
The insult was not to HIM, but to the
club: and it IS strange that Judge Bat
ten was not able to see the position
in which it placed HIM and the club
which he represented. 1t was clearly
his duty, as a clubman and rs a repre-
sentative of the Hamilton Club, to have
told Mr. Roosevelt that what he re.
quired was a violation Of the club pro,
priety; an arbitrary imposition upon
the club itself; a gross violation of
club rules and club life; and that he,
as a representative of the club, had no
right individually to suspend or expel
member, or to put even n deeper
stigma upon him than suspension or eX-
pulsion would be; that what Mr.. Roose.'
vclt asked was wholly outside Of his
power. He should at once have can.
celled the invitation to Mr.. Roosevelt
on behalf of the club, and stated to
him that his demand was an impossible
one, not only as to the Hamilton Club.
but as to any club, Club membership
carries RIGHTS and imposes duties, and
no officer of club, no committee of
a club, has the least right to impose
disabilities and penalties upon mem
Der Of the club as long as that mem
ber is in good standing and holds a
clear Crecord in the club itself.
1t is surprising that Judge Batten
did not sense the situation and repel
the attack that Mr.. Roosevelt made
upon the club which he was represent
ng, That was the right thing to do.
It was clearly what the Judge ought
10 have done; and as he failed to do
his duty, he has compromised the po.
,ition of club membership everywhere
n the United States. It was a blunder
IF character; an invasion Of the plain
'iohts of the club itself, and of all of
is members. The incident was un-
'ortunate In every way; made so by
Mr.. Roosevelt's bumptousness. 1t is
| precedent that will be more honored
II the breach than in the observance;
or under this precedent, club life would |
,e at the mercy Of every malignant |
addist; every one who had n grievance |
Igainst another member; and the whole |
dea of club life would be broken up
md shattered. Mr.. Lorimer in resign |
ng from the club has taken the only |
curse consistent with self-respect. And |
low the club has plain duty to per
orm: it should expel Judge Batuen,

Editor The Tribune: Win Won he Lird

while having those flts. I was readj5S

time ago In which Morris said when H.
angel Moronl came to the boy pronbetS;
three times in one night he was rmro

Please tell me If there Is any wrjtto,,

Replying to the above, we would saw
that Mr., Riley, in his searching work
on 'Tbe Founder of Mormonism ,,
shows pretty conclusively that Josepb
Smith "was an epileptic, :" in Tho
