The statement that such is the case is almost too foolish to require an answer. Gentiles have no difficulty in buying land or any other property or merchandise, if they so desire, and have the money. The inference which it is desired to convey by those silly statements of the Tribune is that the Mormon's dont want Gentiles to. come to Utah, and are doing all they can to keep them out. The very reverse is the case. It is aggregations like the K. K. party, the Ministerial Association, the Gentile bureau of misinformation and a few fanatical, soured personages who are keeping Gentiles away from Utah. They send out to the world false statements regarding the conditions which exist here. They paint Utah as the cesspool of the country, a place from which decent people should keep .away, the reverend gentlemen and their coadjutors, enemies to the state, industriously and unceasingly spread those false and damaging reports. Thats what has kept Salt Lake from having twice the population it has; thats what has kept the Gentiles from being in the preponderance in Utah. Its not the Mormon church nor the Mormons individually which keep Gentiles away. President Joseph F. Smith of the Mormon church is also president of a Bear River Land company, which owns large areas of land in a country where there are a good many Mormons, but this company does not refuse to sell its land to Gentiles. On the contrary, it is anxious to do so, and in recent years most of the purchasers have been Gentiles, ' who have settled there and are prosperous, and contented. Mr. V. S. Peet furnished us with the names of a few Gentiles who recently made pur , chases of land in the Bear river coun- try. mostly upon representations made of rot for by Mr. Peet as to the desirability ot fluence, and all that kind the country for settlers.

For years they have been repeating and the statements that the schools were being Mormonized, that Gentiles could not obtain positions as teachers, that the standard of education was being lowered and all that sort of thing when they knew that such was not the case. Then the new K. K. American party takes up the cry and makes an argument of it. ng o THAT MILLION DOLLARS. So W. A. Clark is going to give the Democratic National committee a million dollars. Mamma! Think of it! A million dollars! How nice that sounds. It has been sounding nice every presidential campaign ever since Clark broke into politics. Just about the middle of September the story goes out, either by special, or by Associated Presfc, that W. A. Clark will contribute a million dollars to the campaign fund. But he never does, you know. Not for Clarkie. He gets the fame of going to, but never makes good. Old Man James K. Jones sent a well known Sait Lake man after Clark during the first Bryan campaign. Clark gave him fifteen hundred dollars. He was appealed to in the second Bryan campaign and gave even less. What a nice story it was for the Tribune to cook up that Clark would donate a million. Honestly, could the! old man dig that much if he had to? A person who has to get three Republicans to join with him in putting building for a up a cheap four-stor- y Democratic newspaper isnt very liable to put a million dollars, or any amount, into a campaign fund. Clark isnt built that way. There are other essentials in the narrative that do not tfound well. That one where it is stated that Clark wanted to beat Kearns for the senate. Wouldnt that jar the amalgam id your back teeth? Wanted to defeat Kearns! Ha Why, it was only a few weeks ago that Clark took him in patrner ship with him in the home of his Salt Lake Democratic (?) newspaper and after getting his clumsy signature to the documents, went with him to the headquarters of the Mormon church to ask the first presidency to help Tom go back to the senate. A million doliars! Ha! ha! Ho! ho! He! he! A million dollars from Clark. Wow! wow! We hope Tom Taggart isnt sitting up nights looking for that million, because if he is he is losing a lot of sleep that might do him much good. A million dollars from Clark! Lets cachinate. New and Beautiful Consignment Just Received. . Why, Clark wouldnt give a millioo dollars to the campaign fund or any other fund, no more than he would let the Herald give a tacit support to the Democratic ticket had there not been a compensation paid for it. to other words, Clark never gives anything unless there is a coine back. A million dollars! Oh, Ha! ha! ha! ha! say, whats the ue? hal-ha-b- !
