be entered in at all except by the
authority and sanction Of the church;
and while it is true that violations of
the law occur in every State, it is
also true that in no other State is
there a powerful, dominating eeclesl-
asticism that defends, protects, and re-
wards those violations, as is the case
in Utah
AS TO No 5, the News denies that
the list is admitted to be correct, but
says that in some particulars, how
many it does not know, the list is in
correct. We should be glad to have
those inaccuracies pointed out if the
News knows them; but its pretense of
knowledge, if not altogether a sham,
is evidence of familiarity with these
polygamous marriages. which the high
est church officials themselves deny.
that, even if it is correct, cit proves
the general obedience to the law, since
the exception proves the rule But it
is expressly stated in the publication of
that list of two hundred and thirty
two new polygamists that those found
out are but small number compared
with those which have actually oc-
Cured, since such deep secrecy is
kept, so that the News s assumption on
this point is altogether untrue.
AS to No. 7, the News says that
it sis partly false and partly true. -
This is a practical admission of the
truth of the paragraph as printed, be.
cause it does not point out what is
incorrect. The fact is, that the church
itself keeps in the book named the
polygamy revelation, and where it
prints the manifesto at all it prints 1T
obscurely and out of any connection
with the so,called revelations proper
No, s is squarely admitted, with the
implication urged,
AS to No. 9, the organ says that the
statement is false. that "the church
does not honor anybody for being a
polygamist. And yet polygamists are
promoted, protected. and advanced in
the church beyond all reason, save only
for their polygamy.
AS to No. IA, the News says it is
false, and asks how the church can
be secret society, for it's members,
doctrines, and principles are all known
to the world. Undoubtedly the ref.
ence in the women's S circular was to
the endowment ceremonies of the
church, where the real secrecy occurs
the endowments being altogether
secret, and not given out to the world
as the News pretends; while the Grim
inality clearly refers to polygamy

dent Smith in his address at the April
conference as withdrawing any ohjec-

he was actually employed, and $50 a
day for attendance as an expert IN
court. But this is precisely the charge
against DR.. Wiley, that he employed
DR.. Rushby, great expert chemist, on
the same terms. IL was objected
against Dr. Wiley that, although the
limit of yearly expenditure to any
person on such account had not been
reached in the case OF DR., Rushby, far
from 1t, yet it was an unlawful con
tract, in that under it Dr. Rushby
might have been paid far more than
the limit fixed in the law. The same
however, is true in the case of Harris
employed by McCabe. and il one con
tract is unlawful, certainly the other is
unlawful also. Therefore, on the very
matter in which DR.. Wiley was con
demned, Solicitor McCabe is also con-
demned, and he is condemned further
and even more seriously for mutilatine

might so place it as to suit his OWL

THE RATE ORDER.

ties

The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion has issued it's formal order on
freight rates. putting into effect ITS
ruling of last year and the formula
ton of that ruling as recently made
in consideration Of the long and short
haul clause.
This order is made to 60 into et-
feet on November 18th, but it is init
mated in the dispatch carrying the or
der that the railroads will strive for
DELAY, and ID is even intimated that
fight will be made upon the ruling
and order Of the commission. This Is
the natural procedure, and we may ex-
pect a prolongation Of the struggle,
but in the end victory for the ship"
ping interests is reasonably sure
The order as made puts into effect
the zone traffic idea as put forth in
the ruling. 1t will he seen that, In
the application of this principle, very
great reductions are made in Salt
Lake rates, and that this region will be
large beneficiaries in these reductions.
The shippers will come into immediate
benefit in case the opposition referred
TO does not materialize, If that oppo-
sition does materialize, then the bene-
ficial results will be delayed; but they
will be something TO look forward TO
with perfect confidence.

ferred to this heretofore as an impor'
tant change. at least nominally, IN the
outgivings of the church; and We have
said that there ought to be less trou.
BILE now than ever before in passing
such I'm amendment, We have fre.
quently urged its passage. and trust
that Congress will take the matter up

ing that the chief effort Is to disfran-
chise the Mormon hierarchy as q be-
ginning to the further disfranchise.
ment of the Mormons "because of their
faith This is a clear calumny on all
concerned. There is no such effort,
there is no such purpose; and when the
News asks for somebody to. kindly tell
it how such a scheme could be carried
out legally under the Constitution. it
answers its own base and false assump-
ton. There is no way Of carrying such
a thing out, nobody wants to carry II
out, and everybody of intelligence, both
in the Mormon church and out of it,
knows that any such scheme is impos-
sible And. since the church organ
thus discredits its own assumptions
refuting them by the plain statement
Of the law, we are at loss TO under
stand how it can hope to convince its
own readers Of its sincerity in making
mere formal and technical denials that
are false In themselves, and assump,
tions which it takes pains to refute in
the sentences Immediately following the
assumptions themselves.
But it is evident that the church
organ is in a blue funk in view OF
Senator Canuon's articles and his pro,
posed lecture tour. We trust that
this lecture tour Of Mr.. Cannon s will
have all the effect which he and the
ladies on whose behalf he will lecture
can possibly hope even in their most
optimistic moments, and that the
church organ so much fears. For that
there are problems here that demand

person can deny

SECRETARY FISHER TODAY.

Secretary Walter L. Fisher, head Of
the Department of the Interior, is ex'
pected in Salt Lake City today. it is
not known that he has any special in
vestigation to make here, although be
might we'll inquire into the fraudulent
coal compromises that were made
on robbing basis, so far as the
United States is concerned, some two
years ago. IT is probable, however,
that since this matter is duly entered
in the record as complete, nothing can
be done about it.
Mr.. Fisher will doubtless make an
inquiry into general land conditions
here, and we wish that We could I'M
press upon him the point that the
withdrawal of coal lands in this State
and vicinity simply tends to reinforce
and support the coal combine and mo-
nopoly here. The result of the with
drawal of coal lands in this region is
to prevent any possibility of competi'
tion with monopolies already estab-
lished, to give them the complete con
troll of the supply and the market, and
to compel the people in this region to
pay what amounts to about a million
dollars year IN excess of what they
ought to pay for coal; this million dol
lars being properly chargeable TO the
wrong ideas of conservation which
prevail in official circles in Washington.
If the coal lands could be released to
entry under proper supervision and re-
straint which would prevent them fall
ing into the hands of the present COM
bnations, the people Of all this region
would be infinitely benefited.
The price of coal here has gone up
steadily ever since the government be-
gan its legislation on railroads and its
efforts for conservation, Formerly
lump coal was plenty here at $3.50 per
ton: then, when efforts to "hclp the
people, were begun, the price was
raised to $5 per ton, and it has kept
raising ever since from time to time
until now it stands apparently fixed at
| $5.I5 per ton. The abortive raise ia
| $625 per ton made last fall was not
| approved by the local coal OF railroad
officials, and was anpu]led as soon as
the general officials of the railroad and
coal companies heard from their locaI
representatives and became convinced
that they had made mistake in order.
ing the raise.
We trust that Secretary Fisher will re
main among us long enough TO get a
true comprehension of the evils of the
Pinehot conservation propaganda; that
he will return to Washington from his
trip to the West and to Alaska in 6
broader and better frame of mind to
wards the people Of this country; and
that be will be disposed to loosen the
bands which now restrain individua
efforts towards the settlement and de
velopment of the country, and break
down the barriers which have beer
interposed between the people and theil
rights under the land laws and the uni
form precedents that have governed
