THE soHooL-BooK QUESTION

II ls understood that the members Of
the late school convention viii meet In
this city, on Tuesday, July 20. for the
purpose of considering the book stua-
ton and the best course TO pursue UNI
der existing circumstances, including
the advisability of taking an appeal to
the Supreme Court from the decision Of
the District court in the injunction
case.
OF course this gathering OF superin-
tendents is merely a conference, called
by the State superintendent as an ad-
visory body without any legal author
fly or status. There is no provision for
II in the statutes. The work Of the con-
yention was finished when they adj
journed, A biennial convention may be
called by the State superintendent un-
der the law. but this assembly is not
one Of that character HoweyC- lis
probably advisable for the superintend-
ents to get together and express their
views In regard to the matter that is
stlll under consideration,
The Deseret News has not In any
way assaulted the State superintendent,
but has simply advised him not TO take
an appeal from the injunction issued
by the district court Reasons for this
have been advanced and We
believe they are sound and
that they win be approved by
the great body OF people who are in.

The striking thing about the story
of the wanderings Of the convict, Ira
cy, is the wretchedness II shows His
escape from the penltentiary a month
ago transformed the convict into a
skulking outcast from society. h.
His sleeping hours must have been as
troubled as his waking ones. The
thought of the sherffs posse must
have been a constant nightmare to him.
All through his wanderiugs he must
have known that he was likely to be
shot down without warning. Even to a
hardened criminal such life must be
intolerable.
