Russia has made aggrcssions in Mon

territory seized 1t is probable, also,
that since the treaty of 1881, which
was to run for thirty years, is about
terminating, Russia hoped by her ulti-
matum to obtain another treaty on
even more favorable terms relating to
consular and trade recognition in Mon
golia. 1t is quite possible that secret
negotiations have been concluded be

Russian position and extending the

firmly TO the agreement heretofore
entered into among them, to forbid tho
partition of the Chinese empire, and
this incident indicates that this agree

SALOON IN POLITICS, -

The Manti Messenger having called
upon the Smoot paper to explain how
the saloon got into politics, and, The
Tribune having copied the editorial par
agraph which made this call. a windy
explosion is the result. The Smoot pa
per undertakes to get out of its dilemma
by charging various impossible things
against the regulation of saloons in this
city by the American party. but, of
course, all Of its allegations on that line
amount to nothing.
The fact is that the saloon was
brought into politics of this State by
the Infamous bargain between the
50 Federal bunch - and the liquor inter
ests IN the campaign of 1908. Prior TO
that time the saloons had not been in
politics in Utah; but from that time
forward the saloons have been in poll.
tics heels over head; they had to he.
The bargain with the Federal bunch ,
compelled the saloons to 90 into poll.
ties, and to stay in. and they have
been faithful to that alliance, even
though the Federal buuch' have tried
from time to time to work devices
whereby they could compel the saloons
to pay more and more for the "greas.
ing of the machine.
1t is therefore no answer to the
Manti paper to put forth lot Of rub
bish about what has been done in Salt
Lake City by tho American municipal
administration; and when the Smoot pa
per asks: ,''Does the Manti Messenger
or the Salt Lake Tribune, its echo,
want any further details OF the saloon
in politics?' we reply, decidedly, yes;
tell us all about il without dishonesty !;
and especially let MS into the secret
of the upwards of $4,000 worth of
blood-letting which the bunch admins.
tered to the saloons in the campaign
of 1908. a good deal of the inside of
that deal has been printed, but we
should be glad to have the whole Of
it made public; and none is j. better
condition to expose it than the chief
beneficiary, of that deal. In view of
the records made by the Smoot organ
and the +" Federal bunch' with respect
10 their dragging the saloon into poll
tics, the outcry begun recently by that
paper to "Put the Saloon ont of Poll
tics' was such manifestation Of
gross tricky inconsistency that it natu.
rally attracted attention and comment
throughout the State. But there is no
hope Of the Smoot paper making any
candid explanation, nor that it will
print any honest exposes.

THE FIRST AMERICAN. ="

| This day, the anniversary of Wash
ington IS birthday, must always be Il
sacred day to Americans. But one
other, from the personal standpoint,
corresponds with it, and that also has
its anniversary in this same month,
that Of the birth of Abraham Lincoln.
The one was the great factor in Great
ing the Republic, the other the great
factor in preserving it.
The virtues of Washington, both
personal and public. have been grandly
and eloquently presented, in song and
story. They were pre-eminent, not
only among his contemporaries, but
among men Of all time, His soul was
lofty, his mind serene, high, and single
of purpose. His speech was the OK
preston of his thought. He was
wholly sincere, and of such well-bal-
anced Judgment that all who were
about him recognized his summing up
of a point or position as the final word.
He was accused Of ambition, but he
was ambitious only for his country;
and he set the noble example of firmly
surrendcring power and cminence,
putting from him the Presidency when
it was his il he so willcd by the
unanimous choice of his countrymen,
and thus inaugurating an 'tunwrltten
law which yet prevails, and that for
bids any man S election TO the Presi-
dency for third successive term.
In every form of greatness among
men, Washington was supreme, un-
rivalcd. And as long as the Republic
remains which he was chiefly instru
mental in organizing, his name will re-
celvc the supreme honor, and his char
acter and achievements will be the
theme of praise and admiration on the
yearly recurrence of his anniversary,
and at ali times his example will be
the high mark in unselfish patriotism
and complete devotion to liberty among
mankind

PARTISAN REASON ALONE.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
las this editorial paragraph:

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
has this editorial paragraph:
The distinguished senator from Utah
Mr.. Smoot, has made an important dis
covery. He opposes the reciprocity agree
ment because-why? Not because it
would injure the country, but because. as
he says it would -'do the Republican
party no good. II will surely do the
Republican party 80 good TO have the
agreement defeated.
But of course this is the Smoot idea.
He comprehends nothing but the tricks
of politics, and las no possible ideas
or care for the general welfare. Every
thing is measured by him with the
partisan rule. He supported the bunko
tariff measure, not on economic prin-
ciples, but simply on party grounds,
and under the direction of Senator
Aldrich

THE B. Y. SCHOOL CONTROVERSY

The controversy that has arisen in
the b. Y. University at Provo appears
to be left in rather an indefinite con.
dition. Certain of the Professors in
that school were brought before the
Mormon Church school board on a
charge Of teaching doctrines contrary
to the Mormon faith, those specially
luton and the higher criticism of the
Bible. The charges appear to be rather
indefinite, and the decision Of the
Church board is also vague. The case
will remind the public rather forcibly
of the Moses Thatcher controversy,
where he, as an Apostle of the Church,
was proceeded against as being out Of
harmony with his quorum. He dill
gently sought TO find wherein he was
out of harmony, but was answered con.
stantly by the reitcration of the charge
that he was out of harmony. No spc-
cifc information was afforded him as
TO how or wherein, and he found it
impossible to get anything definite. SO
in this Provo school case, there is moth.
ing specific alleged, and there is no
plain rule laid down whereby the in
structors may know what they are cx-
pected Co avoid, In a general way it
appears that they arc not 10 teach evo-
luton; but evolution in some of its
phases is so well esta blished scientific
ally that TO refuse to teach it is simply
to ignore and hold in contempt the ad-
vance of knowledge. The same may be
SAID on many points as to the higher
criticism of the Bible; and it is Ger
tainly no more than Just to the instruc-
tors III that school that they should be
Informed definitely and with some OK
actness where they are expected to draw
the lines.
Contests as to dogmas that have in a
large degree been formulated through
misunderstanding, or that have been
explained in a different light through
the progress of human knowledge, are
by no means unknown in the history
of mankind, but this particular case
shows reopcning of questions that
have been practically settled, not alone
among experts who are competent to
deal with the question, but by the CON
sensus of religious opinion according
therewlth. The reopening of questions
OF this kind, that have been settled by
the intelligence of the world. both re.
ligious and secular, appears like an an
achronlsm, and 1T is difficult TO see
what good can result from such con
tenuon. 1t seems especially inconsis,
tent for any set of educators or super
visors of education to make war upon
matters that are, in fact, well estab.
lished, and at the same time pass over
and divine A school that is presided
over by polygamist. and in which the
divinity of poygamy is allowed TO he
taught. can hardly commend itself TO
intelligent opinion by opposition to evo.

THE TRANSPORTATION DECISION.

Some years ago suit was begun by
an Eastern newspaper TO test the propo-
sition whether or not it was lawful,
under the new railroad law, for news
paper to contract with railroad com
pany to advertise for it and TO accept
transportation as pay, or for a railroad
company to issue transportation to a
newspaper and accept advertising as
paw. The Supreme Court of the United
States on Monday reached a decision
in that case, holding that such a con
tract would be invalid and unlawful;
that nothing but money can pass for
the advertising or for the transporta-
tion.
IT is rather a surprising decision. in
asmuch as the liberty of contract has
not heretofore been called in question.
1t would seem as though, when both
parties are content with the terms of
the contract, they ought to be al
lowed to make such contract as they
see fit in a matter Of this kind. The
Federal Constitution forbds any State
to violate the obligation Of contracts,
but it seems that Congress is not so
forbidden, and that Congress may pass
at will laws impairing the obligations
of contracts. and those laws must stand.
But the decision, after all. is chiefly
technical; for, even though the actual
money passes, this can be made mere
formality. The newspaper can tender
to the railroad company the money for
the transportation it requires, and the
| company can hand the money back in
