cotton mills.
For the information of such states
nanship the work of Mr.. McLendon is
designed. 1t is full of facts about
American tariffs and those of other
lends and about the effects on this coun-
try of their administration. The author
takes the ground that a man who holds
an inherited opinion or one based upon
environment is ill-prepared to defend it,
but that If he has read and compared
the tariff laws of the world he has ac-
cumulated sufficient information upon
which to build correct opinion. For
the benefit of the uniformed upon this
point the book has been published.
1T ought to be widely read, especially
by the men of affairs in the South who
have been careless about the primary
movements that determine what kind of
men shall represent the South in the
Congress of the United States. Manv
of those who have won office in the past
fifteen or twenty years have been vic
time of inherited opinions or of exceed
ingly narrow environments, and have
hardly risen in the campaigns above
the level of the average candidate for a
State legislature. Some of them have
been unable to comprehend the direct
relation of their own local environment
to the South or to the whole country.
They have, for instance. supported
measures that would make it possible
for American investors in the coal, or
iron ore, or petroleum, or lumber. or
sugar of foreign lands to undersell the
American producers of such materials.
or the Canadian manufacturers of cot
tcnseed products to find profit in haul
ing the raw meterial all the way from
the Southern fields. In seeking to cor
rect or cripple certain great interests
that have fiourished under protection
for finished products, they have swal-
lowed, without digesting, the bait of
those interests in the campaign for free
raw" materials for industry. They
have revised the normal practice and.
instead of giving the country tariff
legislation that will advance the inter-
ests of the South, consequently the
welfare of the whole country, they are
voluntarily trying to strip the South,
and consequently to embrace the whole
country, for the benefit of few great

ANOTHER PROMINENT
PAPER SPEAKS
Takes Same View of Question Of
Discri mlnatlon as the Record and
Other State Papers

REcdb ucdl VI dJJcnllOUs III ID
very evident there are two fac
tions in this fraternity. One
bunch really have it in their
heads that nobody is fit to breathe
the air of life unless they were
born in Utah. The other faction,
which we believe from indica-
tions to be much the stronger,
realizes the faallcy and danger of
such position and do not care
to emphasize or even indulge in
any such a thought from a seri-
Gus standpoint.
1t is unquestionably a fact that
amongst the liberties guaranteed
to American Citizens is the right
to form an organization of Ma
tive Sons of Utah. On view of
the fact that the Pioneers of this
State fought hard battle, it is
only natural that there should be
many ties of association which
would bind them together and
would also carry on down to their
immediate descendants, who were
actually born out here during
pioneer time; but in view of the
active missionary work of the
Mormon church these Ponieers,
who are of course almost entire
ly Mormon, are putting them
selves in a very funny position
when they insist that only Ma
tive Sons, that is, those born
within the limits of Utah should
receive recognition in a CONNER
cial and political sense. If the
Mormon missionaries, who are
now broadcast throughout the
world. should tell their converts
that when they came to Utah
they would not be entitled to any
serious recognition as citizens
because of the fact that, they
were not born within the limits
of Utah, we think the Native
Sons movement would prove a
decided boomerang to the mis-
sionary work. We are pleased
to note that this same thought
has been expressed by a good
many newspapers throughout
Utah.
1t is the firm belief of the writ
er of this article that probably sc
per cent of the Mormon people
do not really have at all the mis-.
taken idea controverted above.
At the same time the few who
do have it can make a lot of noise
and create false impression,
which spread broadcast through,
out the United States and the
rest of the World, will do a great
deal of harm to this State, anG
the controlling power of this or
ganization should see that this
impression is negatived most EN-
phatically. There is nothing t
prevent people forming almost
any kind of a qualification they
want providing it is not contrary
to law as a qualification for mem
bership. We have in Utah al
Iowa Club, an Illinois Club, ;
Missouri Club and other clubs al
well, as for instance a Universe
ty Club, an Elks Club and many
other organizations and frater
mites, all of which are formed
on one basis of common Interest
or another. They are perfectly
legitimate and so is the Native
Sons of Utah but they must no
be perverted to an unwise end
1t goes absolutely without say
ing, as appears from the mere
study of the political history o.
Utah. that the newcomers with
in this State have received active
recognition; for instance in the
