IMPERIALs WHIP REBELS.

Hankow Again in Possession of the
Manchas. -
Shanghi, Oct. 80. Wireless dis
patches from Hankow reporting a
sweeping victory for the Imperial
troops there caused a t1utter in Shang-
hal. The reports were received even
in official circles with incredulity..
Rebel sympathizers declared that the
dispatches were undoubtedly sent from
a government source to bolster up a
faltering cause.
The wireless dispatches were caught
by some of the German naval opera
tors. They gave no details but said
that there was fighting all day at Han
kow and that the result was a sweep
ing government victory compelling the
revolutionists to abandon, Hankow and
fall back across the Han river into
Han Yang.
Whatever the situation around Han
kow matters have grown more desper-
ate for the government cause in the
vicinity of Shanghai and along the
lower part of the Yang Use river.
lnere were persistent reports that
Ching Kiang, $50 miles above Shang-
hal, was about to fall into the hands
Of the rebels. Ching Kiang is the first
of the series of lower river forts above
Shanghai and is regarded here as the
keystone of the defense of the city.
If it falls, it is conceded that all the
forts below it as far as WI Sing will
quickly follow. .
WI Sung, 10 miles above Shanghai:
marks the city's last line Of defense.
West of Shanghai the wealthy city of
Su Chow is threatened while above
Ching Kiang three important cities,
Nan King, Yang Chow and WI HUI
are believed to be in danger. All four
Of these cities reported that while the
situation was still quiet there is open
sympathy for the rebel cause and
probably little effective resistance will
be offered to attack.

the Federal Steel company, the Car.

American Steel and Wire company Of

pany. the National Steel company,

others are illegal trusts in themselves

Combinations within combinations

written and unwritten, to fix prices

minute detail in the suit Of the gov
eminent, which attempts to show the
alleged trust has worked itself into a
veritable Gibraltar. Practically every
product Of steel from rails and bridges
down to steel plates and wire, is al
legged to be controlled by some pool or
agreement.
The'government proceeding calls for
a decree that not only the United
States Steel corporation, but every
element composing it collectively and
individually, every constituent and
subsidiary company, is illegal, a o
opoly and attempted monopoly under
the Sherman antitrust law and should
be dissolved; that holding of stock in
one corporation by another corporation
is illegal and that no constituent or
subsidiary concern shall pay dividends
to the United States Steel corporation.
Magnitude of Alleged Gain.
The magnitude of the alleged profits
to the organizers of the branches. of
the corporation is indicated by the
bills declaration that in the National
Steel company, $5,000,000 of the COM
mon stock went to the promoters; in
the American Tin Plate company,
$40, 600, 900 of common stock; in the
American Steel Hoop company, $5,00O,-

Sheet Steel company's capital stock is
declared to have gone the same way.
The government contends, that the
United States Steel corporations capt.
talization is not less than $500, 600, 900
in excess of the value of the property
taken over, and that approximately
one-half of their earnings were
brought about by the power the cor

IT'S DIoT1c COMMENT.

The Deseret News, the church organ,
appears to have gone clear daft in its
comment on the results of the liquor
election. As evidence of it, we quote
part Of what it said last night edi
torially on that question, as follows:
We have an. element. here that habitu-
ally opposes everything in. which the
'Mormons' are interested. and greedily
discover the sweet .odor OF anti Nor
monism. They will vote for saloons
and gambling hens and brothels as
agencies OF civilization hoping to In
the faith Of their fathers.
That is most extraordinary piece
Of vili6cation. There is no such ele-
ment here. But since it is an absolute
certainty that large number of Nor
mons must have voted "wet' in this
city on Tuesday, the ntterance of the
church organ is as insane as 1T is ma.
licious. 1t will certainly be news TO
the large number of Mormons who
voted Hwet,'' that the election was a
test of church faith az between Nor
mons and non Mormons, and that when
voting "wet" they voted to oppose
everything in which the Mormons are
interested, and greedily devoured every
thing in which they can discover the
sweet odor Of anti -Mormonism. II
Will be scandalous surprise to those
Mormons who voted "wet' to find that
they voted for saloons and gambling
hells and brothes as agencies Of civ.
ilization, hoping TO induce young Nor.
mons to go astray from the faith OF
their fathers thereby.
Such fanatic howls as this from the
church organ are at once evidences OF
the deepest bigotry, and of lack of in.
telllgence and common sense No won.

FREE BOOKS FOR HIGH SCHOOL

When the Board Of Education of this
city first took the step Of refusing TO
buy text books for the pupils in the
high school of Salt Lake. The Tribune
protested, holding that the change was
an uufriendly act toward the high
school, was indefensible in logic or III
economies, and that it ought not to
be made We showed that it was un-
just to parents of pupils in the high
school, that it would be less oppressive
upon the parents sending children to
school if the board should refuse to
buy text books for the pupils in the
primary grades than to cut off the
free text books in the high school, for
the cost of books in the primary grade
is comparatively trifle as sized up
school; and the parents of children
could better afford to buy books in
the lower grades than the books of
higher cost in the high school. We
urged that it might be an oppression
upon parents dependent upon the daily
wage Of the husband and father to buy
books for several pupils in the high
school, because the high school books
are the most costly of all. But the
Board persisted, and cut off the free
text books from the high school which
had Heretofore been provided.
We see that there is movement now
TO restore free text books to the high
school. We are of the same opinion
with respect TO this matter now that
we were before, and are convinced that
the purchase of free text books for the
use Of pupils in the high school is even
more necessary than the purchase of

for all the grades, and also of free

system, and to say that the Board of
Education would treat it with a certain
disfavor as compared with the grade
chase of high school text books might
easily be oppressive upon parents in
straitened circumstances, and. the
Board should make no discrimination
that would work hardship upon par
ents of the children in the schools. All
are entitled to equal privileges in the
public school system, there should be no
inequality as between different parts of
the school system, and nothing should
be done that could in any way be urged
as discrimination against any division
of it. And so we welcome with hope
the movement in favor Of the restora-
tion Of free text books for the use of the
pupils of the high school In thls city
as movement ip the direction of right
and justice, and to correct dlscrim-
ination that is wholly mnjustified.

sMooT WON'T "PLAY POLITICS.

1t may fairly and truthfuIly be added
that if there were any hope of legisla-

would be all the more opposed to med

has been revised contrary to the plat.

ALL either now or at any time in the
future. His qualification of his deter

iff agitation at this time by the words
"when there is no hope of legislation
resulting from it, is a clear evasion of
his true position, Misrepresentation
of the actual status Of his mind upon
the question. The expression implies
that if there were any hope of legisla-
tion resulting from agitating the tariff
question at this time, Smoot might be
in favor of it; whereas the fact is well
known TO everyone that any hope of
Legislation resulting from tariff agita-
tion would make Smoot more reluctant
than ever to have that legislation
brought forward.
But Smoot refuses TO "play poll
tics' on this question according to the
Statement. quoted from him. When any
one speal:s of "playing politics." it is
always understood that he means that
some political advantage is to be
gained thereby Smoot means. there
