ITS? MEANDERING- MIND,
In a sermon which he pronchod in
tho Granite Stake tabernacle on Sun
day, May 2Sth, President Joseph F.
Smith said: "My object and desire
is .to drive the nail home., and clinch
it in the mind of every man and woman
under the sound of my voice, that any
man who will darken tho door of a sa
loon to drink intoxicants is a criminal
in the sight of God and an enqiny to
society- I do not enre who it is. Jt
is an evil and ought not to exist in
any community. These arc in' senti
ments." To this- Tho Tribune made objection,
saying that Mich talk as that is utterly
baseless iu the customs of the. time. '1
the law. and in tho Scriptures. The
Dcseret News rejoined in its issue of
Thursday evcuing as follows:
A CP.I.MIXAL INSTITUTION.
The saloon organ. In a weak attempt
lo answer President Smith's address In
the Granite Stake house, says "there is
nothing in cither religious ethics or au
thoiitv that makos a man a criminal iu
the xlght of God for taking a drink in
a saloon or anywhere else."-
That depends. The saloon certainly Is
an Institution in which crimes are orig
inated and often committed. Kobberies
and murders are froriucnt happenings in
saloons, and they are more frequently
planned In such places. The saloons arc
often the trystlng place of outlaws, and
to the Honor shops rhcy go for encour
agement to crime. If- this is true and
It cannot be successfully disputed Hum
those who support the saloons may be
criminals In -I sight of God. .
The saloon is tho ally of gambling and
of the "white slave traffic." There is
not a den or iniquity In which the liquor
business has not an Interest for profit.
It follows that those who patronize the
saloons also encourage the various kinds
nf Immorality connected with II. and
therefore thev arc criminals in the sight
of God.
According to tho law of God. drunken
ness Is a rilnie. Tho Apostlo Paul is
the authority for that statement. For
he savs that drunkenness, as well as
adultery, fornication, idolatry, witch
craft, elr.. are "the works of the flesh."
and that "they . wliich do such tilings
shall not Inherit the kingdom of God."
(Gal. v.. lD-'Jl.) But drunkenness Is
Inrgelv due to the saloon. In the sight
of God. therefore, such an institution is
criminal, and wn do not see how those
who palronlzo il can cscapo lhat cen
sure. According to tho same divine law those
who by their conduct cause others to
lake offense, stumble and fail, are doing
wrong. "When ye sin so against the
brethren, and wound, their weak - con
science, ye sin against Christ." (1. Cor.
vlli.. 12.) The Apostles of our Lord
warn against drunkenness. "Be not
drunk with wine, wherein Is excess."
(ICph. v.. 1.) One of tho qualifications
of H Christian bishop Is that he Is
"sober" and "not given to wine."
(I. Tim. III.. 2-::.) The Apostle Peter
places excessive wine drinking in the
piime class as lasclvlousnoas. lusts, and
lovplJInss." (I. Peter lv.. 3.) The saloon
exists In violation of the divine law. Il
Ik criminal, and makes criminals out of
its patrons.
The saloon Is in the same class as
the opium den. Those who frequent it
sin against the laws of nature, by de
stroying their own bodies. They break
those sacred laws and are. to that ex-,
lent, criminals in the sight of God. Prosi
dent Joseph F. SYnlth Is right, and the
saloon organ Is wrong.
"Which shows the silly meandcrings of
an untrained mind. The claim that the
saloon in and of itself, and necessarily,
is a criminal institution is' absurd," in
view of . the fact(..that, the saloon 's
expressly recognized fit - the Jaw, and
when run on lawful lines and subject
to . proper regulation, cannot intelligent
ly bo called a criminal institution. The
assertion that, the saloon is an insti
tution iu which crimes arc originated
and often committed has nothing to do
with the case. The. man who goes into
a saloon to take a drink docs not par
ticipate iu those crimes, and plenty of
saloons arc conducted properly and
lawfully in this city, absolutely frco
from any criminal bent or practice. It,
is true that robberies and murders may
happen' in a saloon, it is truo also
that murders may happen in (he street,:
and robberies in private dwellings. Sa
loons may be tho Irysting place of out
laws just as rooming houses may be,
or any other place that the. criminaJs
lind convcuieitl; but what has thai, got
to do with a man going into a saloon
and taking a drink? Does Ihc fact
thai outlaws may report to some saloon
mark ub a criminal a man who goes
into any saloon to take a drink? The
idea is absurd, just as ridiculous as Hie
pitiful non sequitur thai, "if this is
I rue." thou those who support Iho sa
loons may be "criminals in the sigh!
of God." They may be criminals or
they may be angels of light, or I hey
may be just average citizens. Plenty
of good citizen go iuto saloons and
take a drink, plonly of good Mormons
do tho panic, and it, is a libel on them
lo call Ihem criminals. They aro in
no sense responsibly for crimes in sa
loons or elsewhere.
Tho proposition I ha I the saloon is
the ally of gambling and of the "white
slave traffic" is equally far-fetched,
while it 'is absolutely false lhat a
man who may go into a saloon to take
a drink encourages tho various kinds
of crimes which tho News imagines t
be. connected with saloons in general,
without discrimination. There, also, is
another of its wretched fallacies.
But the News says, "according to
the law of God" drunkenness js a
crime, and it. quotej; Apostle Paul aa
authority for lhat statement; but the
Apostle nowhere calls il a crime, nor
docs it. follow lhat, a man who goes
into a saloon lo lake a drink h there
fore guilty of drunkenness:. As a niat
Icr of fact, most of the persons who
do this do not gel drunk at all, nor
do rhey have any part in drunkenness
or the other things stated, doers of
which Sr. Paul says "shall not inherit
the Kingdom of God." But plenty
of others than criminals, according to
theological ideas, shall not inherit Iho
Kingdom of God. This particular po
sition of the church organ would indi
cate that it believes none but criminals
are under the ban in lhat respect.
Whether drunkenness is largely due
lo the saloon or not is not the question
at issue. The question is simply wheth
er a man who goes to a saloon and takes
a drink is a criminal in the sight of
God. H is not a question of drunken-ne-H,
not a question of lascivioiisneis.
not a question of offering meat unto
idols, or o eating that meat, si. the
church orgai seems to think. Its quo
tation from Corinthians is expressly
directed against, those who eat meat
offered to idols and who fiit in tem
ples eating such offerings. The warn
ing of the. Apostle against drunken
ness has nothing to do with this ques
tion. The qualifications of a Christian
b'ishop have nothing to do with it. bo
enuso a man may go into a saloon and
take a drink and still be sober and
"not given lo wine." nor be in train
ing to become a bishop.
Tho placing by Apostle Peter of ex
cessive wine drinking in the same class
as Insciviousncss, lust and revelry, also
has nothing to do with tho case of a
man who goes into a saloon aud takes
a casual drink, fit would bo more to
the purpose and more a citation in point
if the 2Ccws applied this scripture to
the lascivious polygamists than to the
man who takes an occasional drink in
a saloon.
The assertion that, the saloon exists
in violation of the divine law, and that
it is criminal and makes criminals out
of its patrons is simply one of tho silly
generalizations of which the church
organ is so fond when it gots on its
ambling donkey in stupid "moraliza
tion." To say that "the saloon is in the
same class as the opium den" is to
assert an absolute falsehood. The sa
loon is a lawfully licensed and regu
lated place of business. The opium
den is under the ban of the law, and
is liablo lo bo broken up whenever and
wherever found.
Tho great trouble with the church
organ, as in the first place with Presi
dent Smith in this matter, is that they
confuse "the idea of crime, which is
against the statute law, with sin, which
is against, the law of God, and for
which, as such, there is no temporal
punishmcul, except as that sin involves
the breaking t of the criminal law or
the land. The unreasoning folly of
undertaking to confuse the question of
sin with the criminal law, to class all
saloons as alike, making no exception
for the WLdl-conductcd saloon as against
the lawless and criminal dive, and to
say that the opium den is on the same
plane as the saloon in the law and as
a criminal proposition, is lo lose sight
of all the moral and legal landmarks.
The editor of the News, in his editorial
as quoted, shows that he does not un
derstand the difference between matters
theological and matters of legal and
temporal enactment; that he confuses
tho scriptural anthorit3' with the statu
tory authority, and considers all in a
confused jumble that utterly shuts out
any clear-sighted idea of the proper re
lation of things, noL only as between
themselves, but as compared with other
things. Doubtless this confusion of
mind arises very largely from the
training of that writer in the line lhat
all authority, both temporal and spir
itual, should be vested in Iho priest
hood, and that the priesthood should
have jurisdiction in all matters both'
of sin and of crime, without, distinc
tion and without regard to the proper
divisions of authority as between spir
itual and temporal, ecclesiastical and
civil. A man trained in that way of
.thought will almost necessarily get into
the confusing muddle in which the
churchy organ editor finds himself iu
discussing this question.
AN OIL TRUST POSSIBILITY.
Tho Americans seem to be getting
such a foothold in Guatemala as lo
make themselves practically masters of
tho unquiet Republic. The Senator
Clark syndicate, as was atiuounccd some
days ago, has all tho metal mining con
cessions that , Guatemala has to offer.
That syndicate will do all the mining
for metal in Guatemala as soon as the
final arrangements arc made, and' the
syndicate gets ils machine' and men
on tho ground. It is an enormous con
cession, from which Guatemala ought
to receive very great wealth; but the
probability is lhat. the president who
has granted the concession will him
self be Iho recipient of what is paid.
The Tribune's special dispatch yes
lerday morning announced that, fol
lowing Ike mining concession granted
to tho Clark syndicate, the .1. P. Mor
gsn interests have obtained Iho com
plete control of Ihc petroleum rights in
the .Republic of Guatemala. There has
not heretofore been any great stir made
about the discover or production of
oil iu Guatemala. There is. in fact, no
mention in Ihe ordinary works of rcf
erence of oil being found al all in
that country. This dos not necessarily
imply, howover. that oil may not be
found there in more or less quantities,
much less does it imply that oil com
panics could not be protitably organized
in Guatemala. On the contrary, it i'
just possible that Guatemala, by rea
son of liberal concessions, loose laws,
and lax administration, might be found
to be an admirable place for the head
quarters of such a corporation as the
Standard. Oil Company, with liberty lo
do business in its own way in every
country in the world. It might be made
an admirable homo for such a company,
one out of the reach of annoying anti
triisl laws and stem and implacable
courts. .
MR. GAYLEY IS OFF.
The House investigation of the steel
trust has provided a lot of intTcsling
reading for the American public. True,
there has not been ver- much of I his
that is absolutely new, but still it if
brought forward in a form that, is new,
aud with corroborative details unknown
before, and especially was the agree
merit of President Roosevelt to the
work of the combine dimly known to
the public at large. Messrs. John W.
Gates and Judge E. II. Gary have
furnished the information referred to.
Now conies Mr. .lames Gaylcy, vice
president of the steel corporation, and
an officer of the Carnegie concerns for
ninny years, who undertakes to douy Mr.
Gates's: testimony where Gales showed
the difficulty they had in dealing with
Carnegie and getting his plants for the
combine. Mr. Gaylev snys that Carnegie
did not make am threats, that he did
not hold up .1. P. Morgan, and that
he was in no sense a partv to any of
the transactions whereby Iho steel trust
was organized, cither in support of that
organization or making threats against
it. But; Mr. Gates did not impute
anything of this kind to Carnegie.
On the contrary, ho said that C'arnogio
was the main obstacle in the way of
the planners of tho trust, not on ac
count of vhat he was saying, but' in
what ho was doing. Jle would not
hold to prices, and he wag proceeding
to erect certain works that would bo
extremely annoying to tho combine, and
would .strengthen him so thai it was
necessary, in order to establish the
combine, to buy Mr. Carnegie out at
his own figures. This was done.
TJie talk of Mr. Gayloy. therefore,
is entirety aside from the question; and
while ostensibly denying Mr. Gatos's
statements, docs not, "in factt deny an'
of them. What, Mr. Carnegie .proposed
to do was not a threat against tho
trust, save only as it was necessary for
tho trust to bead it off. Mr. Carnogie
mado no threats, but he put himself
into such a position that he had to bo
bought off. That is the plain truth
about; the matter, that is what Mr.
.Gates swore to, and that, is what Mr.
Gaylcy does nol deny.
DE LA B AREA'S GOOD WORDS.
The meeting in tho City of Mexico be
tween President Do In Barra aud the in
surgenf. leader, .Francisco J. Madero,
was one of great cordiality, nol to say
affection. Dc la Barra . recognize?
Madero as the head of a great party in
Mexico, and with less assurance recog
nizes Reyes as the head of another
great party. -'or himself, Do la Barra
disclaims all public ambition, and with
draws in advaucc from the race for the
Presidency, leaving that contest to
Jvoyes and Madero. H will be a great
political fight, that contest for the Mcxi
can Presidency, and one which is quite
likely to result, in civil war whichovcr
waj' it may turn: for it is not likely
that Madero would quietly submit lo
defeat at the polls, nor is it likely that
Reyes would submit, cither. The pros
pect, therefore, for a fight in deadh
earnest, no matter what the election
may decree, is most significant.
Dc la Barra. in his public talk, gives
the highest possible praise to President
Taff for his forbearance, his good will,
and his conservative position toward
Mexico. He docs not specifically refer
to the massing of the U. S. troops on
the border, .but cvidcully in his mind
(here was no objection to this. The
altitude of the administration in the
United States. "Dc la Barra says, has
been guided by the highest claims of
friendliness, and he states that he is
glad to applaud the calm and sagacious
policy of tho United States. That
policy was strong, practical proof to
him that the friendship of Iho United
States for Mexico has been, and will
be. real and sincere.
President Dc la Barra is quite cor
reel in this, and it may be said further
that, aside from its feeling of friend
ship to Mexico, the United States docs
not the least desire to embroil it
self in any entanglements and troubles
thai would be certain to ensue if tin
Nation undertook any intervention in
Mexico, or any guidance, friendly or
otherwise, of the internal affairs of that
Republic. The future of Moxieo is a
big problem to Ihc statesmen who wII
have I he direction of her public affairs
iu the immediate future. It would be a
far greater, more costly, and consuming
( rouble to the United .btates than it is
to Ihem, and we are quite content to
leave that problem with the Mexican
statesmen, and to let them deal with
if in their own way, without Iho slight
est intervention or interference from uy.
TAFT'S WAY CLEARING.
The non-committal position of former
President Roosevelt heretofore on the
Presidential candidacy next year, ha3
made Iho campaign of President
Taft for rc-eloctiou rather uncertain.
Tlic alleged pledge mado by Colonel
Roosevelt, therefore, al the jubilee celc
bralion of Cardinal Gibbons in BaUi

Taft next year for the Prcsideuoy. was
joyfully welcomed by President Taft, V
friends as removiug the greatest peril
to his candidacy. Tho prompt denial

Roosevelt, is doubly quoted as saying
that ho would not be a candidate for
President next year, that ho would re
gard il as a calamity if he wns nomi
nated, and lhat he expected thai every
friend of his would do eveo'thing iu hi a
power to prevent any movement looking
toward his nomination. This gives reas
surance again to the Taft desires and
hopes. For, with Roosevelt out of the
way, there, would probably not be
any formidable candidate to beat, and
no strong movement against tho re
nomination of President Taft.
It Jnnks a little as though Senator
Root :ilil bo nlavinc some politics
himself, with thc.posstb.hly of- a u k
ing desire for the nomination for E rest
dent net year on the Inubl.cau
ticket. If so, he could probably count
on Colonel Roosevelt's support, because
Roosevelt has declared that Root was
one of the greatest men that tins coun
try has ever produced, rt is quite pos
,ib!o thai Senator Root is opposing
President Tafl in the reciprocity agree
ment chieflv to emphasize the diflcr
encc between them, and to make more
prominent his assertion of his own per
