If the ('barges can be proven they sound a note of warn inf of the Crowing pernicious influenza of the political graft." Of course every bo.ly lias become more or less acquainted with the existence of commercial traffic In ordinary politics, and of recent years have complacently tolerated its workings. But as to ths Judiciary we have always prldad ourselves in Its atteolute purify, and have demanded that It, like Ueanara wife, should be above suspicion." If it shall now trane-pi- re that the 'grafter' has found his way eTrn into this sanctuary, the tribunal which is accepted by a licit Uene aa the fountain of Justice, then imbed heroic measures for the extermination of this grafting monster should be taken by all men and women who believe in the purity of the ballot and in the administration of Justice, uninflu Sneed by political obligations, whether they be evidenced by promise of office or payment of money. In this Investigation neither party affiliation nor personal consideration should form the least barrier to a complete unveiling of the entire truth. Doubtless many prisons sctlvsly engaged In s politlcnlcnmpaign become innocently attracted by a temp fating offer made by an aspiring candidate or his sealous agents; but when they become Informed that such offer is contrary to law, and pernicious in Its result, there should be no hesitancy to mako a full, fair and truthful disclosure of the entire transection. While unintentional participation la wrongful methods having for IMr purpose the election of a person to a lf high Judicial office, might not In be punishable, yet a misstatement of tho truth concerning the matter would justify an Inference of previous guilty knowledge; and such conduct should call for ths Immediate intervention of the office of the district attorney and that of the grand jury. let us hope that this content will disclose either that the grafter" has been unsuccessful In entering the fleered precincts of our courts, or else that the moral courage of our clilzena Is such that there will be no shielding of wrongdoings. It is pointed out that candidates of both political parties ham resorted to the use of the political grafter . Let both aide then be investigated.

T. H. CARR, i Druggist. J. The Government crop report for December furnished several surprises, as the area was estimated at only 21,153.908 acres, a decrease of 1.6 per cent, from last year or 8U1.285 acres. It had generally been expected that the high prices ruling for wheat lor many months would Induce farmers to sow much more ground to that cereal this year than la 1903, and the fact of their having failed to do so is probably owing to the protracted drought making seeding operations difficult, if not impossible in many sections. While the present acreage is smaller tbaa looked for, it would be, if harvested in full, the largest acreage on record with but one reception that of the crop harvested in 19u3. It is altogether improbable, however, that the present crop will escape acme ot which occurs the usual winter-killin- g practically every year, the area last year being reduced 032.783 acres, or acres to 27,983,-Cofrom 32.ulC.2S5 acres. The average winter-area absndoued through killing aud from other caune the past five years has been 3.2C8.00U acres, which, if applied to the present acreage, would reduce it to 27.8S7.000 acres. While the loss may not be as great as this, yet the plant commences the winter poorly fitted for the rigorous weather to allow, aa the long drought has prevented the plant from attaining a normal growth. A reasonable amount of dry weather Is good for the crop, as it causes a heavy root growth that is valuable in enabling the plant to withstand severe weather, but the very dry conditions of the past fall have far exceeded the beneficial limit, and the plant is weakened in consequence. As n result of this it was generally expected that the Government report would show s condition around 80 to 81 per cent., but instead it was placed at 82.9 per cent, compared with 8C.6 per cent, a year ago, 99.7 per cent, in 1902 and aa average of 92.1 per cent, for December the past ten years. However, this ia the lowest December condition of which there Is record, except in 1896, when it was 81.4 per cent. O NOT 8M00T. BUT THE CHURCH, IS DEFENDANT. The New York World, In a comprehensive editorial In ita Sunday isattr, aaya: Although it la Ueed Smoot who ia ostensibly on (rial before the Senate Committee on Privileges end Elections, the real defendant is the Mormon church. The Senator from Utah ia little more than n fortuitous John ltoe who serves as the means of bringing the Mormon hierarchy into court. Thin is what this paper has contended nil the time. Tbs fight that is being made ia againat Uie Mormon church; 8enator Smnot'a election wne used only as a pretext to bring the matter before the people of the nation in the phase of n national problem. The Mormon people were fortunate in that Senator Smoot is a man w ho posaeoaes a record without attaint and the investigation of whose life and character results In showing that he is a nun of sterling integrity, exceptional ability and unimpeachable honor. But the clearing of Senator Smoot does not mean a cessation of the light. In the investigation those behind the movement have accomplished that which they have desired. The testimony, whether true or falae, which was introduced concerning the secret ritual, ceremonies and alleged oaths, hat aroused eastern sectarians and the light against the Mormon church will not down. The leaders and members of the church should come to a complete realisation of that fact now. The movement does not end with the Smoot case. The Mormon church has seemingly beeu placed on the .defensive as being at variance with the laws of ths nation. It will require all the tact and all the diplomacy of loyal Utahns to meet and refute the many baseless charges that will crop np as the result of this investigation and the testimony that has been brought out by the proteetants. In commenting ujion these points, to which we have referred, another excerpt from the quoted World editorial says: But what lias the Government of the United Stales to do with all this? Ri rift constructionists contend that by the terms of the first amendment the operations of the Mormon church do not concern Congress. Yet certain unique relations exist between the Mormon church and the Government. The legislation against polygamy, enacted while Utah was still a Territory, Was a restriction upon tits church. Congress has no power to enforce tbU legislation now that Utah is a State; but certain pledges bars been given by the Mormon authorities' to the United States Government. There was a distinct promise that iiolygamons marriage would no longer le countenanced. The president of tbe church issued a proclamation in which he pledged the church to obey the laws enacted by Congress, although the belief in polygamy was not surrendered. On the strength of this proclamation amnesty to outlawed Mormon lenders was declared by Mr. Harrison ami Mr. Cleveland. "Even ii it is powetle.-- s to compel obedience to former acts of legislation, the Government of The United State, lias a right to know whether the Mor-muchurcu lias krpt its lailh. The shows that it has not, and tliat polygamous marriages have toen performed since President Woodruff issued All This may have liia proclamation. nothing to do with Senator Smoot, but if the .Monnun church ha violated its solemn covenant with the people of the I'niie.l States the country is entitled to know the facts." In a way Utah is placed at a disadvantage at the National capital. The representatives of lids State who are members of the dominant church, while men of great ability aud possessing the ronfl.Wtuue of all Ulan ciiizcus, are looked upon as being interested parties the toward end their efforts in the ot l'iah righting eyes of the nation do not carry the weight which would otherwise be the cawe. The people of Utah in justice to themselves should see that the representatives from Utah are men who would represent all classes of the State and see that each class receives exact justice end fair treatment and that tha Stats Itself be rightfully represented. u DECEMBER 23,1901. the scheme of cunning and reseatial brutality flashed into the brain of go WHY ANGELO JONES Midas CURRENCY BILL BEFORE CONGRESS. The House of Representatives took the Util bill for the "Improvement of the currency on December 13th. It Is probable that tbe House will paw the bill, but it seems to be doomed to defeat In the senate, where Influential senators are declaring that the docforcibtrine of "stand pal" applies ly to the money question ns it does, to the tariff, gays the New York Financier. Tbe committee eliminated two sections Mr. Hill derma of vital Importance, and he will try to have them put back by the Houae. The bill, as reported, makes some radical changes In existing currency law. The first section repeals the law which keeps receipts from customs locked up in and permits them to be deposited In designated repositories, as is now done with internal revenue receipts and other public moneys. Approved municipal and state securities, in addition to government bonds, have been accepted by the treasury as security for public moneys deposited in national bank deposi lories, while railroad bonda have been, except in rare instances, rejected. Some of the opposition in the senate to this section would be mollified if approved railroad bonds are permitted to be used as security. Another important change from tbe present law Is n provision which seeks to repeal the limitation on the withn drawal of circulation to 13,900,000 month. This is not satisfactory to Secretary Shaw, and Mr. Hill will as to amend the hill, so aa to permit the secretary of the treasury to suspend this limit in his Judgment. Section 3 provides for the gradual recolnage of standard silver dollars into subsidiary silver. Aa thia means the ultimate disappearance of the silver dollar senators from the west will antagonise the provision. Other sections of the llill bill provide for an Interchange of the denominations of notes so that the treasury can increase the number of small notes when trade conditions require it. The committee rejected Mr. Hill's provision making the tax on all national bank notes uniform instead of discriminating In favor of those secured by two per cent bonds, and front this actlou Mr. Hill intends to- appeal ' to the Houaa. up u - The Salt Lake Herald remarks,' ".The loafer ia the worker's harshest critic, and thus explains why that sheet coniines Itself to unreasonable criticism of everybody and everything.
