Success of COOPERATIVE Stores

Throughout Europe and the Northwestern por-
ton OF this country practically every section has
thriving cooperative stores Their average sue
cess is phenomenal.
The Army and Navy Cooperative Society of Lon
don, for the year 1911 paid total dividend of
le0'6oo pounds (about $90O,000) upon capital
stock equal to about $500. 600 Shares of this com
pany originally costing shilling (about twenty
hve cents) are now selling for $500 each
In 1903 the aggregate membership recorded IN
such societies in the United Kingdom was 2597-
236, having a capital stock of $226,7S4,685 and an
annual trade of nearly $66O,0OO.OOO The annual
profits in 1911 we're over s5s,oO0.Ouo, equal to %
per cent, available for dividends after selling AZ
low prices.
The merit Of cooperative store is the purcbas-
ing power and influence of large number of stock
holders and the regularity and certainty Of their
purchases Of given lines enabling store to buv
in large quantities at reduced prices For the
PROTECTION of these stockholders our plan pro-
vides an EQUAL VOTING POWER TO ALL
STOCKHOLDERS, which will prevent its ever
being controlled by any syndicate that might secure

ITS FALSE CLAIMS EXPOSED,

The Deseret News having had the
gall to read lecture to the editor of
the lshpeming paner which printed the
statement upon Colonel Roosevelt which
led him to sue that paper for libel,
and the News uttering in that connec-
tlon homily upon the viciousness of
villhcation and abuse, the Salt Lake
Tribune called attention to the i'm
propriety of the News reading any such
lecture to anybody, since it is the
most fagrant and vile offender by way
Of yilifying every one of whom it does
not approve, of any paper in the United
States. We called attention to its
yillflcation OF former officials in this
city. and by the reference showed
clearly that it was not in the province
of the Deseret News to lecture anybody
for vilificatlon. Responding, the News
had an editorial last night, of which the
following is the substance:
We do not know that any reply is
necessary, except perhaps To- saw that
as long as Salt Lake City was In the
grasp or an administration elected on
an anti-"Mormon" platform, and by
party that loudly announced its purpose
of carrying on religious persecution, IL
was the duty Of the Deseret News as
an American paper loyal TO American
institutions, to oppose that administra-
tion' FOR under the American flag no
anti-religious party has any standing.
We would have opposed an anti-Catho-
d lie. or an anti-Semitic adminlstratio ton
for the same reason In the opposition
or the News there was, however. no per-
sonalities. no malice. no SANDER The
News was right, and the people OF Salt
Lake. Gentiles and all. finally con-
dcmned the position OF The Tribune
and Endorsed that OF the News by end
Ing the old. anti Mormon regime and
esta o!shinS new era OF peace and
good VIII. We need no other vindca
No reply should have been made by
the News. unless it could come vithin
hailing distance Of the truth, which it
does not do. Salt Lake City has not
had any administration elected on an
anti Mormon platform. No party here
has elected any officials by loudly an
nouncing It's purpose Of carrying on re-
liglous persecution. If there has been
at any time any such declara ton by the
American party, it ought TO be easy
to produce il. But we defy any such
citation from that party. These are
the two grounds upon which the News
undertakes TO Justify its viliicatiou OF
American party officials. But these two
grounds are absolutely and totally false
Therefore, its vilifcation was witt out
the least cause or excuse, and its state
ment that in its opposition there were |
no personalities, no malica, and no |
slander. is but characteristic bit of |
shameful, bold lying: for its columns |

representative, who wanted to make
films showing the Secretary of State
receiving his diplomatic callers. The
diplomats enjoyed the humor Of tho
situation, and consented gracefully. 1t
was something new to them, but as
there was no real objection to it, and
as 1t would undoubtedly make bril-,
liant and fine picture, for which they
themselves would be glad to pay the
admission fee to see later on, they were
quite willing to oblige.
And so it goes everywhere. Every
one is good-natured and obliging, and
the moving picture men get what they
want. The people throughout the coun-
try get the benefit of these good
natured compliauces, and the moving
picture men are in fact in possession
of the great feature Of entertaining
the people in their picture shows.

were filled with abusive personalities,
malice, and slander,
The proposition that the Deseret
News is an American paper, loyal to
American institutions, is one Of those
grotesque claims that it sets up every
once in a while in defiance of the fact
that the Deseret News hasn t the slight.
est love for American institutions, is
not and never has been an American
paper, but Is the servile organ Of the
Mormon church. devoted to that church
in all Of its procedure, no matter
whether for polygamy or unlawful CO.
habitation or in any other direction
contrary to the laws. And since there
has never been an anti-Mormon plat.
form here, never an anti-Mormon adj
mlnistration, never an administration
that either loudly or otherwise an
nounced its purpose of carrying on re-
ligious persecution, and since the Amer
lean party declarations have been uni
formly of a tolerant spirit, opposing
only the theocratic domination that
has been so obstructive to the develop
ment of this State, the Deseret News
plainly puts itself outside of any class
of reputable newspapers in making the
assertion that it does, and claiming
the justifca tion that it thus falsely
claims for the emission of it's scurrility
and vilifcation.

. The lobby inquiry in Washington has
brought out the fact that the free trade
Interests have a lobby in Washington
as well as the protection interests. But
sdoubtless President Wilson will make
here the distinction that Col Roosevelt
made when he was President, as be-
tween the trusts favorable to him, which
were good trusts, and those opposed to
him, which were bad trusts. So. doubt
less, President Wilson will consider the
free trade lobbies good lobbies because
they agree with him and the protection
lobbles bad Iobbies because they oppose
him. But what a farce all this is, OF
pretending that it is an offense for
american citizens to present their case
and their needs to members of Congress,

THE MOVIES GET THEM.

The moving pictures have the fancy
OF the people all over the country at
the present time, and everything is
made subservient TO them and to the
cause of showing TO the people gen.
orally whatever OF interest occurs in
high places or in any center Of interest.
For instance, il is conceded that the re-
union at Gettysburg next month is to
be largely financed by the moving pic
ture men. they getting as considera-
tion therefor the privilege of grouping
the old soldiers so that they will make
effective pictures, of fixing up the
adornments and decorations, and in
general of practically debating the pro-
gramme of the exercises in order that
the ''movies' shall show to the people
everywhere full panorama of the
great Gettysburg celebration And since
this is in fact unobiectionable, since
nearly everybody will want 10 see rep.
reservations of the scenes in that cele.
bration, there is a pretty good defense
given as against any one who might
cautiously object TO turning an affair
OF this kind over TO the moving picture
meu for the purpose OF cxuloitation for
entertainment.
Quite in line with this idea was the
good-natured suggestion of Secretary
Bryan few days ago, when he amazed
the diplomats who waited upon him by
asking hem 10 oblise him by posing
before the camera of n moving nirtnra

DIR. PADEN IN THE RIGHT.

The Tribune has contended all along
in this matter Of the reports about what
DR.. Paden has been saying in Chicago
that his opponents had misrepresented
him shamefully, and that when the
truth was known ii would be found that
he had stated matters in regard to Utah
accurately and fairly.
We are glad, therefore, to present this
morning a direct statement from DR.
Paden showing that we were absolutely
correct in this, and that he had been
simply stating the facts and that in this
he Is fully justified. In fact, he has
been praising the school system in Utah
in place of denouncing it, and in other
matters has confined himself strictly
to the truth and the record.
Those here who undertook to misrep-
resent DR.. Paden and then to assail him
because of the misrepresentation that
they themselves were responsible for,
are now covered with confusion and
shame. DR.. Paden's statement places
the matter precisely as it ought to be,
of what he in fact had said was pre-.
cisely right,
The Snoot organ and the church or
gan united in this misrepresentation Of
DR.. Paden, and the church organ last
night had big spread about the church
schools, basing its reason for printing
the same upon the alleged misrepre
sentations Of DR.. Paden. If it were a
decent newspaper it would be covered
with humiliation by the outcome OF its
efforts at misrepresentation and its
vicious distortions of DR.. Paden 3 utter
ances, as we'll as the false atmosphere
which it has undertaken to spread
around the whole matter. But being the
vile, CONSCIOUSNESS, depraved sheet that
it is, always eager to misrepresent it's
opponents and to vilify those who do
not agree with it, we do not expect any
square retraction and apology from that
source
It. joined in a wholly mendacious as.
sault upon DR.. Paden, Why it did this
it is impossible to imagine, unless it
is because what DR.. Paden is saying
disturbs some bigoted church tools in
Chicago, and because his work is effec-
tive. The church organ, of course, can
not understand the idea of any one do
ing effective work and still being truth
full. It's idea invariably is that any
effective work is by Misrepresentation,
trickery, and falsehood. That is its own
invariable method and it expects the
same from others. But DR. Paden is
high minded, truthful gentleman, who is
on plane so much higher than that
occupied by the editor of the Deseret
News that that editor cannot even keep
him in sight.
