ITS JOY IN FAKERY.

On Thursday evening of last week
the Deserot News, the church, organ,
had for its leading editorial commen'
tary on an alleged archaeological find
of An immense graveyard near Detroit
which was claimed to demonstrate the
existence of a populous and civilized
white race in this country ages ago.
1t quoted the opinion Of "scientists
to the Importance of the notable find,
and expanded on the "millions of
graves and the likeness Of characters
found in the graves to those of Chal-
dea and Egypt,
All this naturally and inevitably
led up in the News editors mind
TO the sequence that this grave.
yard find was a striking proof Of the
truth of the statements in the Book
of Mormon about a Nephite expedition
that event northward from the Land
of Nepbi' and of the coming of the
Jaredites, and So on. It all fitted in
like a finely made mechanism. and the
graveyard story and the Book of Nor
mon were so approvingly joined to-
gether that il seemed as though the
News editor had quite as much faith
in one as in the other, aud thought that
the world ought to accept both on the
mute but mutual testimony Of each.
But alasl Also, alack and well-a-day!
The whole "find lis fabrication and
fraud, and on Friday evening the
church organ hastened to show that it
was so, on eminent and unquestionable
scientific authority. The scientific in
vestigators pronounced the finds impos.
lures, and said that "if offered in the
market for sale, they would undoubtedly
be stamped as fraudulent
And 30, the church organ no longer
considers them to be proof of the nara
tions in the Book Of Mormon, and it
takes pains to deny for Professor Tai.
mage that he had said that tit was
in finds much like those of Seper that
Joseph Smith professed to have dis
covered the miraculous tables which
contained the Book of Mormon" The
partnership of the graveyard finds and
the Book of Mormon is therefore off =;
the Nephite expedition northward from
the Land of Nephi is not corroborated by
the graveyard finds, nor even the COM
ing Of the Jaredites. 1t is sad case
Of mistaken identity; not a long-lost
brother, but an alien and a fraud.
But we suppose this sort of "Japhet
in Search of a Father will be kept up,
and other proofs presented from
time to time. Indeed. the church or
gan intimates as much while warning
all not to be too easily gulled. But it
appears that the one most in need of
this warning is itself.

own concerns as they have been In the
has been too much Of a stock -iobbing
operation with them all through. In
fact, as Mr.. Spreckels very strongly
intimates, the interests of beet sugar
makers has been rather more at times,
in the line of curtailing production
than of expanding it, because In cur
tailed production there is more GER
tainty OF control Of the market, than in
the expanding of production.
The experience of this region in the
raising Of beet sugar is, that it takes
the form Of a crushing monopoly On
the one hand the price of bects to the
farmer is held down TO the old limit
fixed when the efforts to produce sugar
was an honest business effort, AT that
time there was an earnest desire to fud
the proper ratio between the cost of
beets per ton and the cost of sugar per
hundred The result of that effort was
balancing of the price; that is, Il ton
Of bcets for hundredweight of sugar.
BUT, after the stock -jobbing rapaclty
took possession of the minds Of the
Officers and managers of the sugar fac
tories, the effort towards honest adj
Justment stopped altogether, and what
adjustment was made was all in the
direction of the enhancement Of the
price of sugar. And right there Is
where we arc to-day Mr.. Spreckels s
testimony has thrown a flood of light,
not only upon the sugar production in
general, including cane sugar, but es-
occially on the manipulations of the
stock of the factories engaged In the
production of beet sugar. And what he
says is fully corroborated by the ex-
perience of the people in this region
after the honest effort at equal ADJUST
ment had been abandoned

THE TEXT OF THE TREATY.

SContrary to the usual custom, and 10
expectation, the new and unreserved
treaty OF arbitration between this coun
| try and Great Britain (Which is with
| minor differences also the same as the
! like treaty with France) has been given
out for publication. It's perusal shows
that the general idea OF its purport and
terms heretofore given out in the dis
patches was faithful and true, 1t shows
also that such criticism as was made in
the Senate 70 section three, as en-.
croaching upon the prerogatlvcs of the
Senate, is superficial and untenable,
for the point made is fully covered in
the preceding section
The treaty has evidently been drawn
with great caution. Ii is free from as
sertiveness, and the advance made by
it is expressed in the most moderate
terms And yet everything necessary is
there TO insure the unreserved arbitra-
tion of every dispute ever in the least
likely 10 arise between the signatorv
nations. And rs stated hitherto, ii is
the grandcst advance ever made among
mankind along the pathway of peace.
There can probably be no mistake in
attributing the publication of this
treaty to the influence of President
Taft, who has evidently taken deeply
to heart the lesson so strongly presented
by Governor Hughes of New York in
his struggles with the Legislature of
that State. In those struggles the Gov
ernor appealed direct TO the people. and
so set back FIRE among the constituent
cies of the legislators that brought
enough of them to time TO secure the
passage of the measures urged by the
Governor. In like manner, during the
pendency of the Canadian arbitration
agreement, President Taft made
speeches in its support whenever and
wherever he had opportunity; and he
made opportunities to deliver speeches
for it. The result was the passage of
the bill ratifying that treaty by a vote
of almost two to one in Senate whose
consent to the agreement had at first
been considered doubtful
These experiences we have no doubt
are what caused the publication of the
treaty, which is now open for the in
spection of the world That this pub
lication will help in the ratification OF
the treaty there can hardly be doubt
The peace advocates now know just
what is proposed, and the campaign for
ratification can be pushed ntelligently
and with vIgor tnar will unquestion-
ably be a powerful force In securing
ratification. 1t was a high-class STRAIT.

ROOSEVELT WAS FOOLED,

The testimony of Col. Roosevelt be-
fore the House committee investigat-
ing the Steel Trust combine supports
precisely the estimate OF the situation
made by The Tribune in its editorial
comment last Friday morning. The
facts appear to be as stated, that the
organizers of the Steel Combine at
tackled the Tennessee Coal g. Iron
Compapy's stock on the market, Grip
pied its position, and so demoralized
"the street. generally. President
Roosevelt had been making incendiary
speeches throughout the country, well
calculated to bring on panic. The
operations of the combination inter
ests tended in the same direction; but,
their maniPulations were in secret.
Mr.. Roosevelt (then President) con,
ducted his work in the open. When
the stress Of threatened panic came
on in New York, the combination In
terests, without saying anything to
Col Roosevelt about what they had
been doing, represented to him that
everything was going to smash by
reason of his speeches. and that, un-
les he consented to the taking over of
the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company
by the combination interests, de
structive panic would ensue.
Roosevelt, in ignorance of what the
combination had been doing in Grip
ping the victimized concern and fright
ening the market, and not knowing that
the same combination was putting up
job on him also, gave his consent
to the absorption Of the Tennessee
company. And now he glories in it as
an act Of quick decision that saved
the country. AS matter of fact, it
simply furthered the combination in.
terests, and saved nothing; for, if he
had refused to consent to the taking
in of the Tennessee company, the COM
bination interest would have drawn in
their claws and quelled the panic Just
the same, and would have blamed
Roosevelt for what furry there had
been. Nothing would ever havo been
known of the combine manipulations.
1t is curious that Col. Roosevelt can
not see, even at this late date, the way
in which he was used to forward the
interests Of the combine But he does
not see it, being blinded by the
glamor Of his own self sufficiency to
the point that he actually considers his
consent to that merger great thing
for the country, He says he was not
deceived by Frick and Gary, but on
being asked pointedly as to the doings
of the combine plotters in detail, Col
Roosevelt promptly denies all knowl.

the plotter5 kept their tricks secret.
1t was a great thing for the plotters,
and his weakness being known to them
was played upon most effectively

does in support of his own self -suffi-

SUGAR AND SUGAR MAKING.

From time to time since the investi~
CATION of the Sugar Trust was threat
ened and has been in progress, we have
bad little advances, usually ten cents a
hundred pounds, in the price of sugar.
This has occurred at least three times.
So far from being in any way intimi-
dated or weakened by the investiga-
tions, the Sugar Trust appears to be
even more rampant than ever, and more
determined to show to Congress and the
country that it is supreme in the sugar
markets, and means to remain so.
Claus Augustus Spreckels has been a
star witness before the investigating
committee. He has told of the revolt
ing methods Of the trust to drive com
petitors out of business, Of the cruel
rapaeity with which that trust has
taken possession of the market, and
worked it for it's own benefit, and of the
helplessness of the people to protect
themselves against the extortions Of
this trust. Mr.. spreckels says that
the removal Of, or big reduction in,
the tariff on sugar, would decrease the
price of refined sugar in this country
by two cents per pound. This, how
ever, could not possibly occur unless
the power of the trust and its agents
throughout the country over the sugar
market were broken.
Mr., Spreckels says further, speaking
as an expert, that beet sugar can be
made in this country for less than three
cents per pound, and this is at a fair
profit 10 the makers 1t has been evi.
dent for long time that the beet su-
gar makers were fully as intent upon
the manipulation Of the stock in their
