ROBERTS VS.. UNKNOWN"

one OF the special features of our
Christmas edition was the concluding
article on the Book of Mormon by Elder
b. II. Roberts in reply to the latest at
tack by the Unknown" As many
readers Of the News are interested
in the discussion, we have reprinted
both the Anal attack by M" and the
final reply by Elder Roberts. In the
Semi-Weekly issue of December a..
Therefore our friends who desire TO
obtain copies without the volumlnous
body Of articles IN the big Xmas num-
Der can obtain them by getting the
semi-Weekly of last Monday. We do
not think the jaunty and sef-sufficient
champion Of anti" Mormonlsm" will be
likely to renew the assault on the lines
from which he has been routed 50 COM
pletely. The entire debate, however.
has been interesting and we hope will
prove profitable to people OF differing
Views and convictions.

CLEMENCY DESIRED.

There Is a very general sentiment,
lust now. that some clemency should be
shown 10 the condemned covict, James
Lynch. We do not agree with the
views of those who criticize the action
Of the Board OF Pardons In this matter;
we think the members took legal
stand and that the conclusion reached
WAC strictly within the lines OF the
law. But we coincide with the wide
spread opinion that in this case there
would be no violence done to the law
" discretion was exercised In the way
of mercy. and in consideration Of the
course OF the prisoner in preserving the
life NJ the wounded guards during the
iall-break at the penitentiary.
There are grades OF unjustihaole
homicide, too that might be compared
In finally deciding this case, Legally
Lynch was guilty OF murder, because
the victim was shot during an unlaw-
full attack In which the culprlt was n
principal. But his crime was different
I'm degree TO that of deliberate plotter
against the life Of fellow creature, who
murders with full intent and malice
aforethought. The slain man was en-
gagged in an unlawful pursuit, and was
firing at his assailants when killed by
one OF the band. II was n hand-to-
hand encounter, and there are serious
doubts in many minds whether Lynch
fired the shot that proved fatal stu
Il cannot be denied that he had the In
tent to rob and was prepared to shoot.
Viewing the whole matter calmly in
Guiding the escape from prison, and not
ignoring the character Lynch has from
the penitentiary officials or his efforts
to save life at that time, and thinking
OF the season when charity abounds
and mercy softens human hearts, we
believe that Communication Of the sem
tence, even 20 life Imprisonment, would
meet the ends Of justice tempered with
cemency, and therefore hope that a
special meeting Of the Board viii be
convened to review this case, or that
reprleve viii be granted until IL can
be decided In regular session. Give
Lynch a hopeful Christmas

A FEW PECULIAR ERRORS.

Some amusement mingled with chag-
rim was manifest among number OF
Utah artists on seeing or learning OF
an alleged portrait of one OF their
number, with the following remarks
as footnote in the Salt Lake Tribune
last Sunday:
John Hafen, a devout Mormon, Is
the only artist in the whole world
whose support Is guaranteed by tho
church of his faith
THE Mormons have undertaken TO
do this so that he may attain the high.
est ideals In art, unhampered by finan-
oial worries. The church has created
a fund and guaranteed him a regular
monthly income for life, with the UNI
Outstanding that Mr.. Hafen is TO put
his whole time into art and portray
on canvas the beauties of Mormonland.
Mr.. Hafen's art Is dlstnctlyely OF Utah.
He paints Utah as the lover would see
the idol of his heart He loves Utah
and all that Utah embraces, church
most of all. The decorating which he
did of the Mormon Temple shows this"
The only objections offered to the
picture and the statement accompany
ing It, are these; The portrait is not
a likeness OF John Hafen, The gen
tleman's support Is not guaranteed by
the Mormon Church. He Is not by
any means the only artist In the whole
world who has received Mormon"
patronage or the aid of the Church.
The Church has not created fund for
regular monthly income for him for
life, He is not under obligations TO
put his whole time into art and por-
tray on canvas or otherwise "the
beauties of Mormonland.p With these
exceptions there remains no dispute as
to the cut and the comments.
We do not know how the reporter for
our contemporary managed to crowd
so much of fiction into so small space,
or how he contrlved to get some other
fellows photo for n portrait OF our
we'll known and talented artist. There
are several fine painters among our
people whose artistic abilities are
priced, and who have received recogni-
ton financially and In other ways from
the Church authorities But none Of
them have life guaranty of any kind
and none of them are required or ex-
pected to limit their powers to the
production Of pictures of Mormon
| land"
Utah has reason to be proud, not on
ly OF It's musicians and men and women
Of ability In other branches Of the fine
arts" but also Of its painters and
sketchers in oil and In water colors,
in photography and kindred employ
ments, and In other schools and fields
Of modern advancement. John Hafen
Is all right, but he Is not the only man
with the brush who Is recognized in the
state or In the Mormon Church,

what Is known as temporary star
Mr. Seryiss reminds the public Of the
blaze in the heavens that was observed
couple OF years ago and became
known as Nova Persei, and states that
a still more magnificent star OF that
class appeared in 1872, which is spoken
OF as Tycho's star after the celebrated
Danish astronomer. Some have thought
chat the star of Bethlehem and Tycho's
star are Identical SO there are at
least two suggestions from science as
to an explanation of the luminery that
guided the magl on their road.
But Kepler's explanation appears TO
us better than either Of these That re-
nowned astronomer found by laborious
calculation that Jupiter and Saturn

ceivable that the light of a bright star
cluster might fall upon the house that
sheltered the Infant. while the sur
roundlngs were clothed in shadows,
provided the conditions OF the clouds
were such as to prevent the light from
falling evenly everywhere Certainly
all have at one time or another seen
a particular spot Of landscape bathed
in moonlight. while shades were deep
all around. And similar occurrence
might explain the statement that the
star stood over the place. To the ma

ANOTHER RAILROAD HORROR

The year has been one full of disas.
ters of every kind Thousands of lives
have been lost In accidents on land and
sea, In commissions of nature, in fire
and floods. The closing days OF the
year add to the long list another hor-
ror in the form OF railroad wreck
an which a number OF passengers were
burned to death. and many, sustained
injuries. II 'was the trsuaI story. The
cars were telescoped and Immediately
caught fire. The up5eEtyptte victims
We're pinned down and az the flames
advanced they were roasted alive. Es-
Gaping steam added 10 the perils OF the
situation. II seems that with the fear
full experience Of years, the railroads
should realize the necessity OF run
ming sleeveless cars. Time and again
the story Is repeated OF collision and
people cremated alive, because the cars
caught fire. There are too many accl-
dents, anyhow, on our railroads. The
casualties reported by the secretary Of
the department of internal affairs dur
ing the past year are said to exceed 15-
O0p Clearly there is neglect some
where. The railroads under the con-
troll of the state in the Old World do
not show such number of accidents.
