Show DAILY 4 UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON, EDITOR. PRIESTS IN POLITICS. The London Times of a recent date con- tains the following article: Mgr. Lacroix, Bishop of Tarentaise, in a letter to the clergy of his diocese, has given an account of an audience granted to him by the Pope on April 17. Among the questions discussed on that occasion was whether the clergy should intervene in electoral conflicts. There were differences of opinion on Ibis subject even between the bishops themselves, some advising abstention and others intervention. Mgr. Lacroix, was among the former, basing his attitude upon the instructions given by Leo VIII. He has now, he says, received similiar counsels from Pius X "in almost the same terms." The Pope added: "When I was Bishop of Mantuai and afterward as Patriarch of Venice, I found that the conflicts between the people and their parish priests almost always originated in some question affecting the elections. In those delicate matters the faithful are very susceptible and suspicious. When a priest is tempted to encroach upon their independence in order to induce them to vote in a particular way, and above all when he is so imprudent as to reproach them after the elections with having cast their votes on the wrong side, he arouses a bitter animosity which infallibly compromises his sacred functions. Nothing could be more laudable on the part of a priest than to take advantage of his rights as a citizen to vote in accordance with his conscience, but if he should unhappily rush into the electoral fray 'he will soon lose that esteem and sympathy which he needs for the fruitful exercise of his spiritual mission. This rule applies not only to the Italian priests, but the clergy of all countries in which universal suffrage is in force." UTAH STATE JOURNAL, procured his election, actuated by pecuniary reasons? Has he ceasedto pay you to favorjhim? Or does somebody pay . you more to abuse him? The tardy discovery by your party organs and by some of your party heelers, once grovelers at the feet of Thomas Kearns, that he is not fit for asenatorship leads to the suspicion that you are actuated by reasons pecuniary" and not otherwise." Shame on you, Mr. Graham, for attributing by inuendo, venality to a paper which has had but one motive from its first issue until now, and that is to state the unbought truth to the people of Utah. This paper may commit many mistakes of judgment and these are subject to all proper opposition from the Enquirer or from any other source; but Mr. Graham knows perfectly well that the State Journal has never received one dollar for any one of its editorial utterances nor one dollar for any of its silences. When the State Journals pecuniary needs become greater than the State Journalslegitimate revenues, it can go out of business and take with it the respect of honest and intelligent men. The effect of the Enquirers insinuation will be to remind the people of Utah of many things which might have been forgotten of the wholesale charges of venality against Republicans who were holders of office, and Republicans who dominated the holders of office at the time of the senatorial election in 1900. Mr. Grahams ready suggestion of the word "pecuniary" as a reason why one would champion a. cause or favor a senatorial candidate will lead to the suspicion that some Republicans are getting ready for a new harvest next winter. For our part we do not admire the Republican control in Utah. We are fighting for and seeking to secure Democratic victory for the benefit and blessing of the people of this state. But in the meantime we shall speak of the high character of Hont Reed Smoot or the signal ability which Hon. Thomas Kearns has shown at Washington as our own judgment shall dictate; without money and without price, desiring only that approval which naturally accompanies the endeavor to state the truth. PECUNIARY MOTIVES. has undertaken to champion the cause of Hon. Thomas Kearns, a Republican. A part of this statement is a high compliment from an unexpected source. The State Journal found in a Republican newspaper of Utah a charge that the senior senator of this state was a hypocrite and an ignoramus; and promptly proceeded to resent that absurd accusation. The reason for our utterance was the same reason which dictated an emphatic denial of the charge, made by many Republicans in the United States, that the junior senator of Utah was a polygamist. The motive was one of fairness. .When Republicans traduce each other to the disadvantage of the state, there surely is no objection to Democratic championship of the truth. It does not make for the advancement of the interests of Utah, at home or abroad, and it does not teach proper methods of political criticism for writers to make public estimate of public men by mere prejudice. This paper believes that the Republican party committed an act of gross folly in failing to select from Republican ranks those men who would best serve the state on the congressional delegation, and whose election would be preservative of peace and good will, rather than provocative of conflict, with our fellow citizens of the United States; but one may hold that view without speaking disparagingly of the high personal character and law abiding life of Hon. Reed Smoot or without assenting to the nauseous and belated talk of Republicans to the effect that the able and successful man of their own first choice, Hon. Thomas Kearns, is either a hypocrite or j PERSONAL I Banks Millinery Dept POINTERS! IN S. PERS ahrdl E. J. Warner la In the city from St , Anthony. Churlea Rumble of Green River la an Ogden vialtor.
