MIR. PINCHOT'S MISSION.

When Mr.. Clifford Pinchot passed
through this city day or two ago, on
his way to help his friend in California
he kept himself out of sight. Diligent
search could not find him Doubtless
he didn t want to be interviewed, and
possibly he needed rest,
Mr.. Pinchot 8 mission is to help his
friend and fellow insurgent, Mr.. Hiram
Johnson, who is making a stiff canvass
for the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor Of California, The primary elec.
tion is to be held on August 18th, the
other candidates being Messrs. Ander-
son and Curry The mission Of Mr..
Pinchot in Mr.. Johnson's behalf was
after a conference between
Mr.. Plnchot and Mr. Roosevelt, so that
it is no surprise to hear that Mr., John
son, In a speech, has declared:
I do not take my Republicanism from
a Cannon nor from an Aldrich. Neither
do | take II from Ballinger who today
disgraces the Cabinet. My Rcpublcanism
Is the RepubliCaniSm of Dolliver and
Cummins and OF La Toilette: 1t Is the
OF that great American
patriot Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.. Johnson is, therefore, pro-
nounced. rampant "insurpent," as is
Mr.. Pinchot himself; and as the latter

missionary" REPORTS.

| Occasionally the DeSeret News Is
fairly successful in making people who
know no different believe that the Nor
mon church priesthood does not inter
fere with things political or things
otherwise material. But citizens here
who have had experience of years to
advise them of the facts know that in
so doing the church organ-beiug even
better advised-simply falsifes the stu
alton.
In the issue Of the Progress Review
Of March 81, 1905, Ga Mormon rural pa
per published in the chief city of Mil
lard county, this State), appeared a
little item which said: 'fThe priesthood
meeting at Hinckley Saturday, the
25th, was well attended. Reports of
their labors. while in the Legislature,
were given by President Callister and
Bishop Thompson of Scipio. The meet
ing was greatly enloved by all pres
ent,'
On next Thursday, if custom be ad-
hered to. there will be q meeting of
the apostoate of the Mormon church
held in the Salt Lake temple While
testifying in Washington (see volume S,
page 1917 Apostle Senator Reed Smoot
said: "When / am home, if am in
Salt Lake, / attend those meetings, -
Smoot is now at home, and it may be
depended upon that he will be at that
meeting of the apostles on Thursday,
If one shall be held. And it goes with
out saying, TO those who are acquainted
with hierarchical requirements, that
Reed will there make renort concern
ing his mission in the United States
Senate, Just as President Callister and
Bishop Thompson did of their Iegisla-
tive mission TO the priesthood meeting
at Hinckley.
Now, In connection with this thing.
let us say that no matter what business
Mr., Smoot participated in at the execu-
tive sessions of the Senate, which are
supposed to be held in sacred confidence,
it will be made known to his brother
apostles if they demand that he ere
vealh it to them.
How do you American citizens like
that sort of thingl
AS to Smoot s colleague In the Senate.
Hon, George Sutherland. it is assumed
that he will not be permitted to enter
the sacred holy of holies where Smoot
and his fellow -conspirators will meet
but his report will be made vicariously
-Smoot will act as "mouth' in his
case. Yet his Senatorial work will be
reported, and in return he will be per-
mitted to receive from his ecclesiastical
masters few benevolent suggestions as
to the course he shall pursue at !
Washington during the remainder of |
his official career. Besides, he will be |
informed that he has had sufficient |
honor for the time being. and must step
down and out to make room for some
other Gentle sycophant whom the
church desires TO reward for ignoble |
services rendered and to be rendered.
But, bless your souls, the hierarchs
never interfere in such matters-not in

EXoNERATED-OF COURSE.

1t is both reported and denied that
the Congressional committee that hac
the case of Ballinger under investiga
tion had made up its decision. The
report that it has, specifies how the
committee had decided, and said that
the Democratic members would make a
scathing minority report, On the other
hand Representative Madison of Kan.
sas says that no conclusions have
been reached in the case, and that
none could be reached until the com.
mittee meets in Minneapolis on Sep
tember 5th to make its findings.
1t looks as if Mr. Madison has the
straight of it. AS member of the COM
mittee, he should necessarily know of
the committees doings, and his show
ing that it's meeting IN September is
for the very purpose of doing what the
unfounded report says has already been
done, should dispose effectually of the
report.
At the same time, the shrewd OBJ
servers who attended the sessions of
this committee in Washington are not
in the least likely to be in error in
their estimates as to the dispositions
Of various members of the committee
toward Ballinger and his accuscrs. The
actions and the questions of the several
members Indicated with a good degree
of accuracy what they thought of the
as we'll as their content
with Ballinger's S defense.
SO that, while it must be accepted as
true that the committee has not
come to any conclusion, the
positions of its members, as to the case,
are so well known that doubtless the
forecast of what the committees S find
ngs will be is fairly accurate.
Accepting that as true, the majority
will no doubt be in favor of exonerat-
ng Mr.. Ballinger; as, indeed, seems no
more than right, for the prosecution,

HUGE FOREIGN TIDE
SWEEPS INTO COUNTRY
immigration to United States for
Fiscal Year 1910 May
Total Million D

WASHINGTON, April 23.-According
to present indications immigration to
the United States for the fiscal year
1910 promises to reach 100000 people,
If the record for the nine months of the
year is maintained. The March arrivals
were 1885, 745, and for the nine months of
the fiscal year 667,949. 1t has been
several years since the immigration
figures reached the million mark, the
last year being 1907, when 1,2S5,S49
aliens were admitted to the United
States. OF the immigrants who were adj
mitted during March, 110,207 were male
and 26,539 female. OF these S400 were
Germans, 81, SOC from the south of Italy,
2203 were Polish and 5906 were Greek.
For the first seven months of the
fiscal year, that is from July to jan
uary last inclusive 12,309 immigrants
were debarred. OF these 209 were kept
out because of insanity or feeble men-
tality in some form, 1866 because they
had a loathsome or dangerous contagi-
Gus disease, 7768 because they were
liable to become a public charge and
$50 because, it was charged, they were
contract laborers.
The immigration laws provide that,
for good cause, immigrants who have
been in this country for some time may
be sent back. In that category the inn
migration bureau, for the seven
months, returned to the country
whence they came, 422 persons because
of insanity or other mental conditions.

New York longs Refuse to Sign

NEW YORK, April 23.-Every re-
volver in Chinatown was loaded and
ready for action this morning. With
the failure of peace negotiations it is
realized that at any moment the war
of the tongs may break out anew.
That the police fear trouble was evil
denced by the fact that large REIN
forcements were sent into the Chinese
quarter earlier in the day.
While leaders of both tongs are pos
ing as the apostles of peace they ap-
pear we'll satisfied with the conditions
as they are and not at all anxious to
affiX their signatures to the documents
which the Chinese minister's agents
have drawn up.
According to che police, the principal
difficulty in completing negotiations
for peace is that the On Leongs are
one ahead in the list of dead, and until
the score is evened up neither side puts
much faith in truces.
statement given out by the celes-
tials says the action of young mem
bers of the Four Brothers in tearing
down the bulletins posted in China
town announcing that a peace pact
would be signed had halted the over
lures.
The On Leong tong is willing to
make peace. it is said, but demands
assurances that the Four Brothers can
compel the younger members to live
up to the agreement.

In the cardinal group one card will
ask: what does Cardinal Gibbons say
of equal suffrage?" the answer being
"He says it would be the death blow
of domestic life and happiness"
But then another card comes back
with the question: "What does Cardi-

answer is, He says the woman who
thinks she would make herself un-
