IT ASSAILS DIR. PADEN.

The chief church organ last night
fell afoul of Dr.. w NJ, paden, rep
resenting that he had in the East
sacain broken loose against people in
Utah. 1t undertakes to give state
mont of what he said. without having
anv authentic or accredited report OF
what, i'm fact, he did say. Still, 1t
is enough for the church organ 10
know that DR.. Paden spoke, therefore
he must be wrong, and ii is It's duty
10 assail him venomously and vlclousIy,
In this the church organ displays
its usual prejudice and fanatical ha-
tired. 1t assumes that DR.. Paden has
done some unchristian act, has emit
ted personal spleen, has been Sian
derer. ana all that sort of thing, and
all this before it knows what Dr..
Paden really said.
We have no report that is accredited
or authentic as 10 what DR.. Paden said
in the address that he is represented
to have made in New York; but few
things car be taken for granted. First,
that DR. Paden knows the situation
here thoroughly; second. that as a
Christian gentleman he is interested
in giving the facts just as they are
and has done so, according to his con
science. If some Of these facts hurt,
he is not to blame. But he is a gentle
man who will understatc rather than
ovcrstatc, who is responsible III every
way for what he says, and who will
be careful not TO say anything that
he cannot maintain. Having known
Dr. Paden for Il good many years. we
feel justified in saying this much IN
his behalf, and in assuming that the as.
sault upon him by the News is alto
gether unjustitied, malignant, and
base This because such is its Gus
tom and because we feel sure that DR..
Paden $ talk must have been square
honest, and true.

the people of Alaska have resolved to
do, go out and mino that coal at all
hazards,
Our case is different from that of
Alaskans in two respects. First, we do
not have TO pay such exorbitant prices
for coal as the Alaska people have to
pay, for the coal which they must inn
port because the government forbids
them to dig coal within our own
boundaries. Second, there arc no such
huge veins Of coal exposed here as there
arc in Alaska where these miners pro.
pose TO operate for needed relief from
their burdens. And SO We bear our
loss of $l,000,000 a year with what
equanimity we may. But the people of
Alaska, driven to desperation. have re-
solved to holp themselves. and in doing
so they will be backed by sane Ameri.
can sentiment in every part of the

AN UNGRAcIoUs REFUSAL.

The other day when the thermom-
eter in Washington was ranging III the
9O's, Mrs John Hays Hammond, tax.
ing thought fol- the 1925 women en-
pioyees who were working IN the Cen
sus Bureau on that hot day, ordered
that two wagon loads of lee cream be
sent 10 them as a refresher There
does not seem to bc anything particu-
Iarly bad about that, nor apparently
was there any idea in Mrs. Hammond S
mind that she was undertaking to
patronize any one, or in particular to
play the lady bountiful TO those in
need. 1t was but a sympathetic hut
man impulse that did not seem to call
for any resentment.
And yet IL made the women ON
ployees furiously indignant. One of
the clerks, a woman who gets $500 q
year. speaking for all, said that ii
those who have money to spend want
TO buy ice cream they should buy it
for the poor of Washington; that it
was ridiculous for rich women who feel
charitabIy inclined TO send ice cream
to 1895 women in the Census office.
women who were receiving from 5000
TO 1920 a year. And this spokes
woman for the women clerks declared
that this order to supply them with
ice cream was con n par with Sug
aestion made by tho wife Of prom
incnt member Of Congress, and later
Il member Of the Cabinet and presi
Dental candidate, who declared the
women clerks of the government should
wear uniforms ''to distinguish them
from ladics.'
1t appears, therefore, that there was
in the minds Of the women clerks, and
they took IL out on Mrs. Hammond,
by way of resentingl the suggestion
that they ought to wear uniforms to
distinguish them from ladies, ?ug
pesfion with which, of course. she had
nothing to do. Naturally, Mrs. Ham
mopd was very much surprised at this
retort. She explained that there was
no intention on her part TO be patro'
niziug, that the order was simply IN
the nature Of courtesy, the like of
which She frequently extended To her
friends and neighbors. that this was
all there was 10 il so far as she was
concerned.
1t is certainly we'll for the employees
in the departments in Washington,
both men and women, to be sclfrc-
spcciiug and tn resent any appear

DECLARE FOR WET. !"

The Board of Governors Of the Com.
mercial Club have Joined with the
Building Trades Council and with the
Bank Clearinghouse Association of
this city i'll declaring against prohlbi
ton. The Governors Board declared
as the reason for their act their be
| lief that the great business interest
OF our city and vicinity will bc Sc
riousIy injured by the passage of pro
hibition IN Salt Lake - Therefore
(! they wish to go on record as opposed
to such action.
In the meantime, the opposing forces
are lining up strongly on this ques-
tion. The church forces are simply
opposing the saloon. desiring to have
the liquor business within The hands of
their own druggists The Gentle asso
Citations for prohibition will he called
upon to JOIN forces with the Mormon
opponents of saloons The Centiles viii
ciehes just what they say, opposition
to saloons, and the liquor sales for
their own people.
The battle in this clty Will be waged
with ferceness and tenacity. The
American party in its State platform
last year declared that it asked moth
ing from the priesthood on this ques-
tion. That viii doubtless be tho atti-
tude of the American party in this
conflict. The Federal bunch, OF
course, is for the liquor business, and
expects, when the time comes, 10 sway
the masses of the church vote to it's
side Just as it did last year, and as 1T
hsbitually has done at all elections of
the past We see no reason to doubt
that the Federal bunch viii he As sue
cessful in this on June 9th as IT. has
been Invariably successful heretofore
in the same tactics.
The great business interests repre-
sented by the Commercial Club, by
the Clearinghouse Association, and
by the Building Trades Council, are
too important TO be ignored. And then
the Manufacturers and Business Men s
Association. which is openly working
against prohibition, is a factor that
will doubtless be the leading one on
the side of the s'wets.' - The cam
paign will be one of great vigor, and
will doubtless draw out one of The
heaviest votes ever cast IN the city |
Of Salt Lake.

pntronizlng act toward them. 1t is
true, As the spokeswoman of the lady
clerks in the Census Bureau declared,
that these employees had no need OF
charity. But while it is all right
enough TO resent anything that seems
10 he offensive in any form, there is
no reason whatever for resentment at
small act of courtesy extended with
out any thought of offense. The Cen
sus Bureau clerks have made them
selves ridiculous in this case, simply
because they were NOT high-mindcd
enough 10 grasp the difference be
tween a thoughtful courtesy and an
act of patronage and charity, The re-
buff to Mrs. Hammond was certainly
lll-tlmed and the incident shows her
in much better form than it docs the

COURTS DODGE THE ISSUE.

IT is not a crime against the United
States, is appears, for Oklahoma to pre-
vent negroes from voting by means
Of a so.colled grandfather clause IN the
State Constitution. That is the ruling
Of Judge r. e. Campbell of the eastern
district Of Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma constitution denies the
voting privileges TO negroes. This is
effected through the era andfather clause,
which allows white men to vote, regard
less Of certain disquaihcations, If their
grandfathers have been citizens and
voters. The restrictions thus imposed
are nowhere enforced except as against
negroes. This is so we'll understood
that many attempts have been made to
get decision as TO the validity of such
constitutions. The Federal courts in
various parts Of the country have been

raised, but by one means or another

the fact that the grandfather clause is

manage to avoid the consideration
of the main question. But some Tune,
before some Judge, the pIeadlngs will
stick. and then we shall have a de
termination which will wipe out all

'PEACE IN UTAH

An appeal for peace in Utah was
made in he Smoot organ yesterday
morning, based on some remarks by
the Rev. G.. A. Foote in his sermon
on Sunday,
III is the same old thing so far AS
| the Smoot paper Is concerned. 1t is
those who object TO undesirable con
ditions who are the offenders in it's
estimation. not those who create the
undesirable conditions Church rule in
politics is all right with the Smoot
paper, especially as long as IL enjoys
the benefit for its party of that rule.
Polygamy is all right provided it can
he denied so ferveutly, so frequently,
and 80 generally as TO make tho dc.
nial prevail against the truth Par
alyzing the courts so that they dare
not prosecute offenders of a certain
class when those offenders are in the
fold of the dominant sect is all
right, and no one has right TO pro.
test against it, but, if any one not
Of that sect is guilty of polygamy or
roaded TO the penitentiary without do
lay and without heed to any pleas
that he may make.
The usual argument of those who
adhere 10 Smoot and his methods is
that all these offenses must continue
as a part of the natural order of hu
man procedure. Any one undertaking
to interfere with church dominance in
politics. with the prevalence of polYg-
amy and polygamous living, any one
who objects to the paralyzing of the
courts as to certain offeDSes, when
these offenses are committed by mem
bers of the dominant sect. or any one
who would demand a fair and equal
enforcement of the law, n Just and
rjghtful position in politics and civil
affairs, FOR the citizen, without regard
TO his standing iu any sect-any such
citizen IS classed as disturber.
It never seems TO occur to those of
the opposition who cry out for peace
that the way to get peace is 10 stop
the offenseS rather than trying to
muzzle those who object to the OF
fenscs. There is no reason why Utah
should not have peace at any moment;
il is easy enough to get it. Let those
who are guilty of the otfenses, of the
transgressions against American laws
and citizenship, cease their transgres-
sions, abate their demands for secular
dominance because of their church po-
sftions, let the bands be loosened upon
the courts so that fair and equal Jus
tice can be done to all, and peace
would come to Utah with the rising of

BOUND TO HAVE COAL,

We glory in the spuuk of those
Alaskans who have banded together and
started out 10 mine coal that they need
in spite of the government reservation
of the coal lands. Nothing can well be
more exasperating than the condition
in which those people find themselves
Coal is right at hand, on the public do.
main, for the digging; but the land is
reserved, everyone is forbidden 10 dig
the coal, and although coal could be
mined and delivered for So per ton, the
people are obliged 10 import coal from
Australia, Japan, or British Columbia
and pay from S13 to $40 per ton for it,
The situation is an eXasperating one.
and we do not wonder that the people
Of Alaska have taken the matter into
their own hands and have determined to
mine coal in spite OF the government s
prohibition. 1t is exactly what they
ought 10 do; and il may well be doubted
whether it would be possible TO convict
auy of these men who have determined
to mine coal, before any Jury Of the
jurisdiction. The situation is a most
extraordinary one. and calls for ex.
traordnary measures. These measures
the people of Alaska appear determined
to take in their own interests, and we
rejoice to see them do il.
In this same connection we note that
the President has made further exten.
sive Withdrawals of coal land in Utah.
This he is authorized to do by law, and.
of course there is no remedy. At the
same time, we may point out that the
inevitable and necessary effect of these
Withdrawals, both the present one and
those which have gone before, is TO
confirm the moEopolies, encourage and
foster the coal combine. and to render
tho people herca bouts more and more
helpless against any raise of price or
combination to keep prices OF coal
above where they ought to be-
In this city we are paying for lump
coal Sl.25 per ton more than we were
required to pay long before there was
any legislation on conservation, and be.
fore any withdrawal, of coal lands The
difference amounts probably 10 about a
million dollars n year TO the people of
Utah and the Immediate surround
ugs. That is the price that we pay for
the conservation policy on coal The
coal lands arc Withdrawn, people can
mol get them. nor open new coal mines
The result is that those who have ac.
quircd coal lands in the past and
who havc their mines open, can by
agreement charge whatever rate they
please 10 the people of all this region
for coal
The Alaska case. Of course. is worse
than ours. but we imagine that IL there
were large beds Of coal exposed TO
thc surface and easy 10 mine within
reach .of this city and we were still
