NEWS AND HISTORY.

Az ALWAYS ESTEEMED contem-
\ porary is chortling loudly because
fl thinks it published an item in con-
ncction with the Utah prison delivery
that was published by no other paper.
Actuated by the spirit Of fairness that
always characterizes our dealings with
our always esteemed contemporary. we
reprint this semi-editorial utterance:
IF &c happens it is I'm the Tribune when
it's news After the Tribune prints it
other papers take 10. The Tribune prints
the news. not ancient history
Tt is really too bad that our con-
temporary-always esteemed-should
make such a remark about this par
ocular item. a plot on the part of
certain convicts TO break out Of the
2eaitentiary something like two
months ago. Unfortunately for the al
ways esteemed. The Herald printed the
story when it was news. That is to
say, about two months ago. On the
authority Of Dr. a. c. Young. prison
physician in The Herald Of August y,
Page I, Column g. viii be found the
story which has caused The Tribune so
much self cOngratulatiOn.
We are constrained to believe that
somebody on the Tribune has been in
dustriously studying a Herald file. BY
the way, if somebody over there would
do that sort of thing oftener the people
who read the Tribune and don't see

being given in favor of the plaintiff.
For Apostle Grant to come in now with
a public criticism Of 1Ir. Jones and q
suggestion that he be enthusiastically
disfranchised. is a rare piece of Off
ciousness. Besides, If Apostle Grant
believed Mr. Jones actions warranted
his communication. he knew the way
to proceed
Mr.. Jones does not belong TO the
Utah stake OF Zion. It has no jurisdic-
tion whatever over his movements He
could not under the usual methods of
procedure. be tried there. If Apostle
Grant had charges to prefer he should
have preferred them before The proper
authorities in Salt Lake City. 1t is al
ways cowardly TO attack man who
has no opportunity Of replying. This is
what Apostle Grant did in the case Of
Mr. Jones.
The apostles zeal for his religion
may be considered admirable by some
Of his co-religionists, but his standing
among fair-minded people. both Nor
mons and Mormons. cannot fail to
be lowered by such Incorporate, ill
timed and il-advised remarks.

AN UNNATURAL FATHER.


WAS IT A STERN, unyielding sense
" Of justice or a desire to secure the
reward Of $3.50 that induced an Ala
bama father to surrender his son to the
officers of the law the other day? The
boy had been convicted of murder and
was sentenced TO be hanged A few
days before the date set for the execu-
ton he escaped and his whereabouts
was a mystery 60 the sheriff and his
deputies until they received a message
from the father telling them where the
boy could be found.
There is something that is not under
standable in this case. 1t is easier to
believe that the father desired that
justice be done than that he sold the
life of his boy for money, but either
conclusion reflects little credit on the
father. After all. with most of US blood
is very much thicker than water This
Alabama boy may have committed a
most atrociOus crime, but he was none
the less his fathers son.
He thought of his father when he es-
capped from prison. Firmly fixed in his
mind was the belief that the father
would give him aid and comfort. even
as the father of the prodigal son had
given aid and comfort to his reck-
less boy. But the Alabama father
was made Of different stuff. He sent
his boy to the gallOws and he claimed
dirty money for his deed. The reward
win be paid to him, but if he derives
any enjoyment from it he win be in
deed an unnatural father.
We much prefer the old Kentucky
governor. whose son AbsoIom was al
ways and forever his son Absolom. The
governors son was a scapegrace and
worse. one day he killed a man and
a jury said it was murder. He was
sentenced to be hanged. Every re-
source offered by the courts and by
skilled attorneys failed to save him. In
Kentucky the sole power to pardon is
vested in the governor. After wrestling
in anguish with his conscience-God
only knows how great was his anguish
the governor pardoned his son.
Then he resigned his Office and left
the state. Not long afterward he died
of a broken heart, What became OF
the boy we don't know. Whether he APP
preciated the heroic gsacrihce made by
his father and developed into a useful
citizen, or whether he continued his
criminal career and finally persisted
on a gibbet as he should have persisted
i'm the first instance. is not recorded
1t is given to us only to hope for the
( best.
Did the governor, his father, act
wisely? That is a question every mar
must answer to his own conscience.

salt into the wounds of any bleed
ing gentleman. but we find it impossi-
BILE to restrain our joyful emotions over
the results Of the Republican primaries
of Monday night. SO many esteemed
citizens were not sufficiently urged"
to attend the convention that we are
beginning to wonder whether or not
there viii be a convention. Let us gaze
for a moment at the list Of the fallen.
To begin, there is our old friend J..
Henry Smith. J. Henry is known to
fame as the political apostle Of the
Mormon church. He felt to go to the
convention but, alas, he has another
feel coming. J. Henry, the apostolic
friend Of BILLY" James, viii not attend
the convention unless he can bring to
bear enough influence on somebody to
secure a proxy. Perhaps J. Henry can
accomplish this and perhaps he can
not. Let us hope. for the sake of the
impetus to the hilarity of the occasion,
that j. Henry viii land his proxy.
On the other side a leader has fallen.
Senator IT. Kearns. The United States
senate has been called the most deIib-
crate deliberative body on earth. T.
Kearns has been in the senate long
enough TO acquire the deliberate delib-
erativeness habit. He arrived at his
district primary just a moment too late.
Had he reached t. a moment earlier the
opposition slate would not have gone
through But why go into these har-
rowing details. T. Kearns will not at
tend the convention unless he makes
good with his contest or unless he ac-
quiTes a proxy.
