politics that the man who is the most

On himself and IS usually beaten by a
compromise nominee. This has been
SO common an experience that nobody

ST. Louis.
Six weeks ago Judge Parker's name
was So conspicuous that his nomiua-

south Germans candidacy is regarded
with favor, and I'm many states Mr.
Hearst has been able to secure enough
strength TO prevent the unqualified APP
prevail of Parker where he could not get
d delegation for himself.
As the situation stands today. Judge
Parker is without anything like the
two-thirds vote necessary for nominal
ton, and unless he can secure abroga-
ton of the tW0-thirds rule. he win
probably find his greatest strength on
the opening ballots, only to lose finally
90 some comparatively obscure Candi-

as good as out of the running. though
he VIII have enough backing 20 pre-

is every reason, therefore, TO expect
the nomination of Mr.. Olney, possibly
Mr.. Harmon or some other equally well
known but iuc0nspicUOus compromise
candidate.
In any event. the signs point to the
wisdom Of sending a Utah delegation
unpledged to any man. The delegates
would go to St Louis committed to
nothing bat such a course as seemed
best after consultation with party
leaders from other parts of the coun-
try; they would be free to throw their
votes and influence in favor of any cau-
didate who might become available for
his fitness as a man and ability as a
leader.

DECoRATloN DAY,

morrow has been set apart. Though
the Observance OF Decoration day has
lost much of the spirit its o~riginators
breathed into it, he is indeed a thought
less celebrant whose mind contains no
feeting thought of the mounds on
countless hillsides where lie the bodies
of brave men who gave their lives to
their country. Had it not been for
these men the line OF cleavage between
the north aud the south would be
drawn today as sharply as bayonets

a PRAYED, so inhuman that he did
not hesitate to kick an eye out of a
PROSTATE antagonist, has been freed
from the grip Of the law in Missouri
because of his plea that a Gentle can
not receive justice in Utah. Justicet
God save the mark Justice is the last
thing that Stansbury, former saloon
keeper, is looking for. If Stansbury had

claimed that he would be punished If
he was returned to this state regard
less of his guilt or innocence because
he was a Gentle. He declared that the
courts were oficered by or under the
control of the Mormons. and that their
prejudice aainst the Gentiles was 50
great they would 80 to any length to
injure them.
A supposedly intelligent court ac-
cepted this plea as sufficient The same
court listened while s~tansbury's attor-
ney told a tale of how a Gentle had
been convicted of murder and executed
In Utah because an old Mormon had
pretended to have a revelation in which
his guilt was disclosed This Of course
Is a reference to the MOrtensen case.
Mortensen was not a Gentle. the rev
citation testimony was brought out bv
the defense on denomination and
the court instructed the jury speciheaI-
" not to consider IT,.
Further MoTteusen was tried before
a Gentle judge. he was convicted bv a
jury composed largely of Mormons
and he was defended by Mormon attor-
neys His case on appeal went before
a supreme court composed of three Cen
tile judges and was affirmed. So much
for that case. The other stories told
and allegations made rest upon a sim
tlarly insecure foundation Of fact. It
is surprising that any court in any
state should have tolerated such STUFF
for a moment.
The affair would be humorous if it
did not establish a sort Of precedent
for action by courts OF other states in
proceedings Instituted against Utah's
criminal fugitfVes. This feature makes
the matter very serious, indeed. 1t is
the logical outcome OF the lurid stories
