ham Young. Now, the one branch of
the church is satisfied within itself
that Joseph did not introduce poly
gamy, but that Brigham did The other
branch is just as we'll satisfied for
itself that Brigham was not the author
of the doctrine, but that Joseph was.
Neither one has yet been able, even
after a controversy lasting since 1863,
to convince the other that it is right.
and the breach is as wide now AS it
ever was. If they arc unable TO settle
the matter, how can outsiders be cx
pectcd to do so? Necessarily, then, peo-
pic of the world at large are entitled
to their differing opinions as these may
be drawn from their individual judg
ment upon the evidence at hand Just
as naturally, the Reorganizcd branch
must expect that Joseph Smith S name
will be coupled with the polygamous
practice quite as long as the doubt
indicated exists. But why the Ensign
should endeavor to discredit the article
of Mr.. Cannon on account of an imag-
nary attack that was not made it is
difficult to see.
The whole object Of the Cannon ar.
tlcle was to show that in this matter
of polygamy the pledges made to aban-
don the practice have been ruthlesslv
broken by the Utah church The pre-
sentation of the polygamists' belief
that Joseph Smith was the author of
the doctrine, and that therefore it was
of divine origin, was made To account
for the stubborn struggle that was
maintained by them for many years
to perpetuate the open practice, and
to in part account for the recrudcscence
of plural marriage within the past sew
eral years. The condition as described
by the author was by no means state.
ment of his personal conclusion as TO
the origin of the doctrine; and why
the Ensign should cry out when it isl
not hurt IS mystery.

PINCHoT's HOT sCoLD.

The dispatches convey full summary
of the appeal made by former Chief
Forester Clifford Pinchot to President
Taft against the Guggenheim company
and the so-called Cunningham Alaskan
coal claims. Mr.. Pinchot speaks from
the same old platform, in the same old
way, with the same old argument, with
the same heat of denunciation. But
it is noteworthy that his procedure now,
as heretofore, is simply negative or OBJ
structivc. He does not propose to have
anything done, but to prevent some
thing being done He is not in favor
of procedure, but of blocking procedure
He is not in favor of the development
of Alaska but opposed TO it. He offers
nothing that will afford relief TO Alaska
or opportunity for anyone TO get coal,
and although coal is badly needed in
the Alaskan shipping trade. and al
though those who are obliged to buy
coal must buy it in British Columbia. Or
get Australian coal, he offers no sugges.
tion whereby coal mines can be opened
in Alaska.
There is no doubt of the honesty, in
tegrity. and good faith Of Mr.. Pinchot,
but this Western country is suffering
by reason of his obstructive policies
Alaska especially is held back, and
will be permanently held back as long
as Mr., Pinchot is able to make his poll
cies act as an estoppcl Of progress
But what is wanted is relief from this
outcry against the development Of this
Western country, and specifically the
stoppage of the outcry and obstruction
that is keeping Alaska in the tolls Of
a retroactive policy which prevents de
velopment and keeps out investment 1t
is all well enough to say that the Gug-
genheims ought not to be allowed to
hog all the rich resources of Alaska.
We will all agree that neither the
Guggenheims nor any other combination
ought to be allowed to do that. But
Alaska has been held back a good many
years by this outcry, and the question
inevitably arises, must it be held back
permanently because the government
does not want to allow the monopoly
of the tichest resources of that region
by any combination or community of
interests among corporations2 Is there
not sufficient intelligence and skill in
the National government and its Off
eials to allow the people of this coun-
try to 90 into Alaska and exercise their
lawful rights, and at the same time
prevent any monopolistic corporations
such as Mr.. Pinehot is fightinga
Surely we must not give Alaska up
Ill despair and say that we will neither
allow GuGgenheim nor any citizen of
the Republic to go into Alaska and cx
ercIsc the rights Of appropriation and
development that is his by right of law
We cannot imagine that even Mr.. Pin.
chot is willing permanently to hold
Alaska as an unoccupied waste simply
because he is afraid that the Guppcn-
helms will make some money out of
1t. But if it really comes to the ques.
tion of Guggenheims or nothing, then
we believe that the people of this coun.

THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

| The postal savings banks law goes into
effect throughout the country today. The
places selected in which to open this
| savings bank service are not the great
centers IN any parts of the country,
but arc fair average towns, the idea
appearing to be that the department
wishes to begin in such a manner that
the deposits will be easily handled and
will progress gradually without any
danger of overwhelming the postofficcs
with surfeit of deposits. Still. the places
where service begins will afford fair
test of the reputed oagerncss of the
people to avail themselves of this op
portunity TO make their deposits where
they will be absolutely and continu
ousIy safe
In Utah the postofficc at Provo has
been selected as the one in which to
begin this service. Mr.. Glove. the
postmaster at that place, was recently
called to Washington to receive special
instructions AS TO the mana pagement Of
this branch of his office. He returned
fully prepared To take charge Of it
according to law and regulations. The
work will undoubtedly he managed by
him in way to afford every facility
for those making deposits, and also
to carry out thoroughly the instructions
as received.
be watched with very great interest,
not only in Utah, but everywhere
throughout the United States. IL is
understood that the banks, and cspo
cially the savings banks, arc in oppo-
sition to this move Of the government.
That opposition, however, can no long
er be practical, since the law is actually
III effect; and now the chief thing is
to sec how it works. If satisfactory
there will doubtless be a gradual OK
tension of the number of postoffices
included in this savings banks service,
and as the use of these banks becomes
more aud more popular, as may be the
case, the system Will be more and moro

UNJUST TO SENATOR CANNON

1t appears that zion's Ensign, pub
lished at independence, Missouri, by
the Reorganizcd branch of the Mormon
church, has discovered something in the
writings of Former Senator Frank j
Cannon to which it takes exception. II
says:
We can excuse the magazine writers
thio Tho havo never investigated these
things, and find II i'm our hearts to cx-
tend feeling OF charity towards them
Dut what shall VIC say OF a. man who
like Frank j.. Cannon. has had all tho
iacts laid before him. and vet ignores
them IN his public writings?
The Tribune is aware that member:
and officials Of the church for which
the Ensign speaks feel very keenly
the reproach contained in any statement
which would tend to show that Joseph
Smith, the founder of Mormonism, wa;
the author Of the doctrine and practice
OF polygamy. The Ensign IS remarks
concerning the article written by Mr.
Cannon, which appeared in the January
number of Everybody's Magazine, arc
directed toward the Senator's treat
ment of this subject. Upon examina
tion Of the article, however, it will be
found that the matter is approached as
if by stated belief from the side Of the
practlccr OF polygamy. 1t is by
no means presented in the article as
being Mr.. Cannon s personal view that
Joseph Smith introduced polygamy into
the church. His statements are all to
the effect that the practice was te
naciously adhered TO because the rrac
ticers themselves believed it to have
been of divine origin, and revealed
through the "prophet Joseph Such
is the true state of affairs, as anyone
will know who has lived in Utah for
the past thirty years or more. There
is no misstatement of fact whatever
in the Cannon article on this point. We
believe that the Ensign has misundcr-
stood Mr.. Cannon upon this matter, or
that it feels so tenderly upon the point
that it is unable to sec that the state.
mcnt is purely a recital Of condition
as affecting the beliefs of practicing
polygamists, and not personal asser-
tion from the author that Joseph Smith
was the man by whom the doctrine
and practice of plural marriage was in
troduced.
Another phase of the Ensign's at.
titude upon this subject may strike the
Investigator with some surprise, Mr..
Cannon dealt solely with the polygamy
of the Utah branch of the Mormon
church, and in connection with the
practice did not attempt to connect it
with the Reorganized branch. His story
dealt with the consequences that fol
lowed opposition to the law Of the land
as that opposition was developed and
in Utah. The stated causes for
this stubborn resistance were as they
have been given hundreds of times by
polygamists. Had Mr.. Cannon pre-
sentcd the matter In any other way he
would have been either untruthful or
in the preparation of his arti-
Gle. He in no way attempted to drag the
Reorganzcd church into the matter
His entire treatment of the subject of
polvgamy was confined solely to the
Utah church, or the followers of Brig
