PROSECUTE THE CRIMINALS.

THE people Of Utah have horne
long enough the illegal, aye crinli.
nal, conduct Of election officers ap-
POINTED by the Utah Commission.
1t is high time that they take de-
termined action in reference to it.
The Commission does not consider
itself able 10 correct the evils to
which its attention has been re-
peatediy called, or 1t is unwilling to
exercise its authority for their sup
preston.
Registration and election officers
seem 10 consider themselves indie
pendent OF the laws and OF the Com
mission, and legal voters are per-
emptorily denied their rights at the
polls; that is if they are members of
the Peoples Party.
Now, there is amPle provision un-
der the laws Of the United States for
the punishment of these criminal
election officers. Sections ssh and
$50 OF the Revised Statutes Of the
United States provide that such con-
duct as has occurred today may be
punished by imprisonment for three
years and a fine OF five hundred
dollars. Now prosecute the guilty
persons and press the matter to a
final issue.
This thing has gone far enough.
II the Commission cannot or viii
not remedy this wrong, let the People
arise in their might and never let I'D

Sfajcf Dird-If salt water was be-

added, il would be impossible to

ELDER WILLIAM WILLES.
4 Brief Allusion 10 His Life
Work.

Yesterday we announced the facI
that Elder William WiIleF, of the
Twentieth Ward, died at his resi-.
dencs on Sunday evening, Novem.
Der End Deceased had reached the
ripe age Of seventy-six years, hav-
ing been born in England on July
9Th, 1914. He was baptized n mem
Der Of the Church in his native
country in ISIS, and from that time
his soul and energies were devoted
to the interest Of the latter-Iay work
Of the Lord. -Four years after his in
iuction into the Church. having
been ordained to the Priesthood.
Elder Willes was called 20 take q
mission to the Fast Indies. He
responded with alacrity, and
after having endured much
in that far-of land for the Gospels
sake, and bearing testimony to many
people, he returned after an absence
OF three and half wears. He
reached this city in October, 1856.
and from that Time till his death
made his home here. In 1868 he
responded to a call TO 20 on n mis-.
sion to his native land, where he
spent three years preaching the
Gospel, returning in the spring Of
1856. In 1854 he took another mis-.
sion TO the East Indies, and left for
that part Of the world in June, ISL
returning home after an absence OF
fourteen months.
a marked feature Of the character
Of the deceased was his determined
resistance against anything that he
considered an euCnuachment upop
his rights and liberties. We have
seen this popularity exhibited while
he was labOring - a missionary
abroad. When q mob would s,-eI,

we were highly pleased with the
exercises throughout. The church
was beautifully decorated with fes-

worth a visit to the church had that
been the only attraction. But all
this display of artistic taste was
eclipsed by the many bright faces
that graced the occasion by their
presence. The tender bud, the
opening flower and the full blown
rose blended in harmony, and gave
finish to a magnificent galaxy of
beauty. This elegant entertain
ment was arranged and carried out
