MORE INTOLERANCE.

Our statement in the last issue TO the
effect that the animus II the tight
against Representative elect Roberts Is
that he Is a Mormon has been variOu,ly
challenged. We. however still repeat
our assertion that such is the case. As
an added proof we quote the following
sentence from the New York Journal,
one of the ''yelow Journals" which is
lending iis aid 10 the Salt Lake Tribune
To defeat the will of the people of
Utah. This is from an interview OF
Mrs. Winifred Back aud says
He has been sent To Congress by the
votes oi MurmOus, men aud women as
low in the moral scale ns lie Is.
We repeat our former assertion that
the election of Roberts was not as u
Mormon, but as Democrat, and that
he received rs many Gentle votes IN
proportion as he did Mormon votes.
Ills election was political and not "a
church victory. How do the intelli-
gent voters oil Utah like being referred
To as ''lOw la the moral scale.' The
Tribune quotes this interview with AZ
least quose approval, aud adds another
proof that IL is entitled 10 rank as Que
Of the ankest OF yellow Journals" In
their approval of this and like llbeIs on
the people Of Utah. other denomina'
lions show themselves as guilty of a
high degree of religious intolerance.

GOVERNOR WELLS says the salaries
of State officers are ton low. So we
believe. The salaries in this State are
lower, we believe, than in any other
State in the Union. All OF the salaries
10 the State ought TO be raised. For
no especial reason. as we can see, the
Enquirer advocates u reduction In the
salaries of district judges. AS for our
selves We believe that the salary Of the
district court judges is as much too
low as any other office. AS to the gov
ernor. IL he would keep still while
we would advocate that his salary be
doubled

THE UTAH COUNTY DEMOCRAT asks
" we are not little crue, In classify.
ing the Tribune among the yellow
Journals" We dou't think so. The
Tribune is u tough old subject and no
ordinary rules apply to ii. just now ii
is chasing Roberts. Before next De-
cenber 1t may be defending him and
talking abou' the good faith OF "those
people" again. You never can tell
what IT Is liable to do. In using the
word "yellow" we did not intend To
refer TO It's record rn the financial
question however. Salt Lake Bee.
