BUSINESS AND TRADE.


The matter Of most immediate con
Germ in the local business world during
the psst week has been the great
miners strike at Bingham. This is a
considerable interruption to trade,
paraIyziug the operations of that camp
and the demand for supplies. The
strike continues.
Other matters Of high Importance the
oncoming week are the coming session
of the Irrigation Congress, the State
Fair and the semi-annual conference.
All Of these come the present week.
The congress opens tomorrow under
most favorable auspices, There is no
doubt but that the oncoming session Of
this congress viii be the most impor-
tant in its history
This last week has been full of fall
trade openings. all proving highly sue
cessful, the department stores doing a
great volume of business in the new
lines. Trade has averaged well during
the week, and merchants have renewed
faith In a prosperous season. The lrri"
CATION Congress, the State FAIR, and the
conference crowds the present week
Will be certain to bring large crowds
to the city, much to the advantage OF
mercantile dealers. The stores are all
preparing for this rush. Cash sales
were high during the past week, and
collections prove unusually good. The
Auerbachs and Keith-O 'Brien expect
to be in their new homes by the mid
die Of the coming month
Building continues active in all parts
of the city, new homes going up in ev-
cry section and scores of apartment
houses and business structures are near
ing completion.
There have been many sales OF homes
and building lots during the past week
and dealers say that despite the polit
ical handicap the market is justifylng
the many recent predictions of period
Of prosperity. Several large sales IN
volving downtown property are under
way, and probably will be completed
the coming week. New suburban sec
tions are opening in the city south
eastern environments. and these com
mand steady demand for building
lots and small farm areas.
The railroads undoubtedly will have
very active week in handling the
crowds that come to the Irrigation Con
press. the State Fair, and the Semi an
! nual General Conference OF the Nor
mon church.
Crops of all kinds have given great
Yields the present season, and the sal
Lake market is supplied with every
thing in the way of vegetables. fruits
aud general products that the hear
| could wish. The good prices obtained
will distribute money in unusual guam
titles throughout the State.

THE MISCHIEF REMAINS.

The Deseret News last night had
weak sort of plea that nobody ought To
take serious account Of President
Smith 5 declaration in the improvement
Era in favor of President Taft II
protests that the - Latter.dav Saints
generally do not consider themselves
bound bv any declaration of this kind
made by President Smith or any other
official of the church: THAT they aTc
free agents and that they ere expected
TO exercise the divine prerogativc o!
freedom according TO The light they
have. This sounds all very fine. but
the fact is that the disclaimer is made
for the benefit of outsiders while
the word of counsel is expected to be
needed by the Saints. 1t is common
dodge for this sort of thing to be done
and then 10 have il followed up by
this sort of explanation which sounds
plausible, bat which means nothing to
those who are looking to the church
leaders for direction Al that this
class desires is to know the will of the
leaders. and when that will is declared
they follow it: the ''light they have
is the light handed them by their
leaders.
And that is the trouble about this
whole business. The declared will de-
sire. or purpose of the high ccclesiasts
of the church being known, vast num-
bers of the faithful take that as their
counsel, y and act in consonance with
it: and that view having been openly
stated, there is no way of taking it
back, ne method Of explaining it away
The Saints who hang upon the words OF
the higher priesthood for their political
guidance (and there are ten thousands
of them) have all that they want to go
bv when this will or desire is declared,
They care nothing about explanations,
evasions, or prevarications: the word Is
received by them and treasured for ac'
ton when the time comes.
That is the real difficulty III the case,
as the church organ knows very well
and as President Smith understands
even more fully than anyone else can
explain it. His declaration as gwen
was necessarily taken to mean not
merely his personal opinion. but has
counsel to the Saints and those VINO
are waiting for that counsel, uncertain
how to act until they get 1T, receive
that counsel as their guidance without
tho least question, All this attempt TO
smooth down, evade, and to cover over
amounts to nothing. 1t is the old dis-
honest subterfugc. The mischief Is
done and cannot bc undone. Those VINO
object TO it arc right III so object,ng;
and until that sort of thing is done
away with altogether there can be no
real or satisfactory freedom of action
IN political lines in Utah.

RECOGNITION OF CHINA.

There is in Los Angeles Chinese
American League of Justice, which IS
devoted to the betterment of condi-
tions among the Chinese and the I'M
provement of racial and trade reia-
tions We are reminded of tho exist
cncc of this league by its frequent let
tiers and appeals for Justice for the
Chiuaman. and more recently through
its appeals 10 President Taft for rec
opnition Of the Chinese republic, On
this the league says that there is
no logical reason why the United states
Government should longer delay lnfor-
mallv recognizing the freedom of peo-
pie who have fought, bled, and died
for the sacred principles Of justice.
1t must be confessed that we are
not showing the same alacrity in the
recognition of the Chinese republic that
we did in The recognition Of the Panama
republic. But it must bc remembered
that we have different sort Of Presl-
dent now from the sort we had when
Panama was recognized. We do not
now have n President who "takes
things and lets Congress debate after
wards, or who. claiming TO have done
this. comes forward with spectacular
and boastfu lies about what he has
done.
At the same time, we are disposed
to agree with the Chinese League at
Los Angeles, and to think that the
United States has delayed long enough
in the recognition of the Chinese re-
public The fact that We do not make
this recognition is undoubtedly because
we have done what Washington warned
us against. We have entered into Zen
tangling alliances with European
powers, This nation is one of the SIX
which have banded together to guar
antec the integrity Of the Chinese boun-
daries. while allowing the nations most
Immediately in contact to encroach
more or less upon those boundaries
The immediate cause of the reluctance
to recognize China is, we suppose, be.
cause the Chinese Government does
not wish TO accept the $500, 900, 900

powers, with the understanding that

eral situation, the iusistcnt call for
prompt delivery. which indicates that
stocks do not lag superfluous on pur-
veyors' shelves. Conditions are re-
garded as better than in previous years;
but there is conservatism governing
II all. Buyers are not making large
forward orders. but are compelled to
buy to meet the pressing demand. The
shortage Of cars is becoming more note
worthy. and coal mines in the old West
have been compelled temporarily to
cease operations until cars can be OBJ
tanned. Steel plants are we'll sold
ahead. and as a general rule no more
orders can be taken for delivery this

Shipments Of wool from Boston from
January TO September Goth inclusive
were 2l2,e2s,773 pounds against 157,

year. Receipts for the same period were
316,1o9,S73 pounds against 3a5,6l7 ,52C

This shows an extremely healthy con
