PARENTAL CARELESSNEss.

Two telegraphic items which appeared
in The Tribune Of Monday morning
brought news Of two accidental deaths
Of children that suggest to the mind
some thought concerning tho responsi.
bility of parents in such cases.
From Santa Rosa, California, the dis
patch was to the effect that a little
girl Of ten years had been shot dead
by n playmate boy of six. the weapon
with which the killing was done being
a loaded rifle left upon shelf acces
sible to the little fellow. Another
Item from Fort Madison, Iowa, told of
a little girl having been burned TO
death on account of The ignition Of her
clothing while "playing Indian
In the first instance, the responsibility
would seem to be primarily upon those
who had left the loaded weapon in a
place where it could be reached by any
little fellow Of six years. Although 1T
would seem TO be cruel to add 10 the
grief of the parents, large part of The
blamc for the accident, it does seem
that the exercise of little more
thoughtful care would have prevented
their sad loss as we'll as preserved the
child s life, In the second case, where
the child was playing Indian there
was bonfire in the game of the tots.
From time TO time, and all too often,
we hear of fatalities in like instances
These examples of the folly of per-
mitting children to plav about bonhres
ought to teach such lesson as would
cause parents to prevent that sort of
play.
How often do we hear of parents
leaving small children at home while
they go out visiting at night, or to the
theater, only TO return home to find the
little things burned to death and the
home in ruins! There would appear to
be absolutely no excuse for that manner
Of carelessness-that men and women
who would commit such fooishness
should not be the fathers and mothers
of children. While there is much of
the accident feature in most cases Of
fatality to children under such clrcum-
stances, it is nevertheless apparent that
many of them could be avoided through
the exercise Of little more ordinary
and common sense care. The trouble in
avoidance of the accident IS much less

RELIGION IN THE SCHOOLS.

Elder Horace n. Cummings is report
ed to have said in the tabernacle serv-
ices on Sunday that -'it is q matter of
deep regret that religious truths can
not be taught in the public schools Of
today. On the contrary. we should
say that il is decidedly cause Of
thankfuluess that no such proposition
can reasonably be urged. or can receive
any support from the general public.
For. first of all. the question would
arise, what religious truth is il that is
TO be taught. and whose religion is to
benefit from tho teaching!
The mere statement of this PROPOSE
tion is enough 10 condemn it. We have
cosmopolitan population, We have
Jews, Gentiles, Christians of many de
nominations, and sectarians in great
variety. all of whom have equal rights
in the public schools In Salt Lake City
no one sect dominates. In most places
throughout the State the Mormon sect
is in control. and is in many places. as
we are informed, unlawfully intruding
schools. using there the lights and the
fuel provided at public expense for the
purpose of this sectarian propaganda.
The State Superintendent has expressly
condemned this sectariau use of the
public schools as unlawful. but this
condemnation has not sufficed to eradi.
cate those classes and that sort of in.
struction.
That, however, is mere sideshow,
as it might be called. compared with
the suggestion that ''religious truths -
should be taught in the public schools.
The mere suggestion would cause the
whole community to rise up with the
most emphatic protest. Minorities have
rights as well as majorities. And the
right of the minority to have secular
instruction in the public schools ana
the absolute separation of church and
state in all its forms. is fundamental
1t is useless to promulgato or even 10
suggest, such an absolutely impossible
thing as the introduction of religion
in the public schools. It does not help
in the least to use the term 'freligious
truth, because religious truth is pre-
clsely where the sharp differences arise.
What is religious truth to the orthodox
Christian would not suit the Mormon
at all. And what is religions truth to
the Mormon would be utterly abhorred
by the orthodox Christian And then,
we have the Reorganzed branch of the
Mormon church. and the Christian Sci
entists, all different from the orthodox
and the Mormon standards, and all
ready To assert their undoubted right
to have the public schools conducted
without the introduction of the sort of
g ellglous truth y which they would be
absolutely sure TO deny as truth, and
protest against as instruction.
Fortunately, the suggestion of Elder
Cummings is absolutely impracticable;
and il is curious, indeed, that anyone
should think it worth while to intro.
duce this subject
A tongue judiciously brided is of
immensely more service than one that
runs loose.

THE LORIMER CASE,

We do not understand why it is that
the Republican leaders should wish TO
inject the Lorimer case into the pro-
ccedIngs of the short session of the pres
ent Congress to the peril of the appro.
priation bills, and of other legislation
that necessarily must be enacted. 1t is
not the least likely, in the face of
unanimous committee report clear
ing Senator Lorimer Of any con.
nection with the bribery. that
there could be mustered the two
thirds necessary TO his expulsion;
nor is it evident why any of the
Senators should desire to obstruct the
proceedings with long-wnded arguments
upon case like this. And least of all
does IL become Senator Beyeridge TO do
this. in reversal Of his position in the
Smoot case.
The report of the committee distinct
ly exoncratcs Nh. Lorimer. He is in
his seat as Senator from the State of
Illinois, admitted on the certificate of
the Governor, which testified to his cleo
sOnally. against him. Senator Frazier
it is true, is of the opinion, and other
Senators may share that opinion, that
Senator Lorimer lacked one of the
necessary votes to elect him, after all
the untaipted votes were thrown out.
He needed, in the opinion of Senator
Frazier, one Of those tainted votes to
elect him. But whether this opinion
will Justify the Senate in going back
of the certificate OF election held by
Mr. Lorimcr is extremely doubtful.
It will be remembered that in the
Smoot case the argument was made
that the certificate of election was
prima facic evidence of the right of
the Senator TO his seat. And il was
| argued that as he WAS not charged
with any offcnsc that would Justify his
expulsion. he was therefore entitled to
retain his seat. The same reasoning
would unquestionabTv apply in Mr..
| Lorimer's case: and the likelihood OF
| this rule being overturned is so very
slight that those who would obstruct
the necessary work of the Senate in
fhc impracticablc hope of unseating
Senator Lorimer arc not Justified in
their procedure. 1t is, TO be sure, q
case Of the highest privilege, and the
Senate, if it chooses, can give II
precedence over all other proceedings
We doubt. however, very much il the
Senate will do this, even if it has to
pass the matter over without action
until the next Congress.

PRICE OF SUGAR BEETS.

The Tribune has frequently shown
heretofore that the local sugar trust is
unfair TO the farmers of Utah i'll hc'd-
ing them down TO the old price of $3.50
per ton for bects We have drawn
attention to tho fact that when the
$3.50 price was fixed for boots the
farmer would get Il hundred weight of
sugar for $3.50; that ton of beets
would buy hundred weight Of sugar.
whereas now, with sugar at SO per hum
dred, ton of bects will buy but 10
pounds of sugar.
We have printed the fact, also, that
beetsugar factories in other States are
agreeing to pay 50 per ton for beets,
while the factories i'm Utah are refus-
ing the farmers demand here for a like
price. A very fair presentation Of the
case is made in a recent number Of the
Box Elder journal, which we reproduce,
as follows.
The farmers near Fort Collins. Colo

and adopted a resolution whereby the

The union has a membership OF one
thousand farmers and was Just recently
organized, Local organizations will be
effected in all parts OF that State. and
from the general appearance OF the field
at present the sugar company will ex

tracts signed up.

paid and the beets must test II per cent.

pany operating here is paving 50 per ton

farmers are making very light demand
OF the sugar company when they demand
81. They should have that price for any
grade OF beets and for all that tested
should be raised accordingly.
It is we'll known that the Utah fac
tories arc IN a highly prosperous con
dition, as is pleasant to hear; and that
they can we'll afford to pay the 50
rate. And if the farmers will persist
they can get it.

ing that it was not in the habit of

concern that these Tanners were defy

multiplying what has been claimed to
be rule of the church. But the News
neglected its duty TO let the people
know that there were men among their
neighboTs who were invading the sane
titv of the American home with their
new polygamy. Now, however, we have

we feel that great share of the
