jurisprudence In America;

lions from the DeltyY'
'raesmen who reply In the aillrma-
tive VIII be excused by the defense on
the broad principle Of inoompetency in
view of the sworn statement OF James
Sharp, a man Of good standing, Of un-
questioned integrity and unimpeach
able sincerity in his religious Views
1t Is well known fact that Stewart
& Stewart counsel for the defense, are
members Of the Mormon faith, So
when their friends read this morning
that they wee going 10 bar their fell
l0W-religonists from trying the case
there was naturally no little surprise,
But the really interesting part Of II Is
that the most surprised persons in the
city were th. Messrs. Stewart Ever
since they have been retained by Nor
Jensen they have been very discreet
when II came to saying anything about
their intentions What they viii DO
they perhaps know better than any
one ON the outside. This being true, Il
was only natural they should be as
tonished when the alleged line Of their
defense Of the accused murderer was
laid down m the Herald When Attor-
ney Barnard Stewart was interviewed
by the News this afternoon this is
the way be disclalmed the accuracy Of
the Herald SCOOP"
There is no; one word Of truth In
Il. Mormons WIN not be debarred by
the defense. There Is no reason why
they should be; and ! say again they
will not be. ! cannot tell for the life OF
me how such a ridiculous statement
could yet lut, We have never thought
OF such a procedure for a single min

Mormon SIT on the Mortensen jury II he
Is called? Why shouldn't a non-Mor-

THE SUMMER STORM

It is worth one's while to experience summer storm on the desert. More of the wondrous beauties of Nature is in no other way revealed. Here is majesty enthroned Here is beauty such as the painters brush must ever fail to reproduce.
 The winter storm of the desert comes from the west, the morning sea breezes of summer from the Gulf of California to the southeast and the evening sea breezes from the west. But the summer storms ride on winds that come pouring in from the north east.
 And when the summer storm comes, it is out for business, and with busi- ness sagacity it advertises its pres ence. For several days the air grows in humidity with southeastern breezes. A few clouds are then to be seen ap- preaching from the gulf and in time

THE San Francisco Chronicle has the bravery to say that in no other city in the country could such a recep- tion and Sunday street parade be given in hcnor of professional pug Hist as was recently witnessed in that city, and adds that it is nothing to be proud of. Great as the Chronicle is, however, and in many respects it is the greatest paper in the far West, it seems to realize that it is hopeless task for it to reform the morals of the wickedest city in America.

THE editor of the PRESS had the fortune to be connected with the Craw- ford County (Pa.) Journal twenty years ago when it's able and fearless editor, Ernest Hampstead, brought forth what is now known as the Craw- ford county system of holding primar- ies. It was designed to place the peo- pie above the office seekers, and it's greatest opposition lies in it's success in accomplishing its purpose. It is now being tried in Orange county, where it is under vigorous discussion. But it might be we'll to wipe out all discussion and simply decide whether the people wish to run politics, or pre- fer to let the politicians do so. That is the whole issue.
