ST. PATRICK.

According to the legends 81. Patrick
was great lawbreaker when he set
foot. as missionary, on the soil OF
Erin. In fact, the king and the priests
decreed his death, because he had dared
to kIndle a light OF his own, instead Of
waiting for the Sacred flame fur
nIshed by the Druds,
As usual, on the great day Of festi-
val in the year 43a A. D., all the fires
in the kingdom had been extinguished.
sentries were watching on all the hill
tops In the land, waiting for the sacred
flame to ascend toward heaven at Tara,
and torch bearers were ready to carry
this flame TO the nearest hills, whence
II again should be carried to other hills,
until the entire country should be IT,
Illuminated. Then, TO the dIsmay Of court
and priests, little flame was seen in
a valley, before the sacred fame Of the
DurIds had been kindled. This was sac
rlege. The Druids promptly informed
the king that the daring heietlc would
have to be captured The light must
be put out Then, az now, the Druids
feared the light The Arch-Druld said
to the king
81 warn you II that light be not in.
stantly QuenChed It WILL then, never
be QuenChed any more IN EIrinn, II
was foretold that such a sacrlege
would he attempted by Druid Of oth-
er faith than ours, who would come
over seas with a magic lamp TO sup

Consequently the stranger was taken
and placed before the court II was 81.

the names Of his accusers are forgotten

The story OF st. Patrick Is another
object lesson Of the truth that history
seems to take pains In repeating, that
truth cannot be crushed by opposition,

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS,
Sacramento Bee.

Sacramento Bee.
A systematic fight is being made In
the halls Of Congress against per-
hitting Reed Smoot TO take his seat
IN the senate OF the United States.
SO far. nothing has been presented why
he should be debarred The entire In
vtstlgatIon has not touched him per-
sonally II has demonstrated that ne
Is not polygamist. But stu the ilght
goes on TO Dust him, because President
Joseph Smith, OF the Church OF Jesus
Christ OF Latter.day Saints, Is man OF
several wives, and because polygamy
is still practIsed here and there on the
soil Of Utah.
The whole proceeding has become a
farce II not persecution. III Reed
Smoot has been honestly chosen to a
seat In the United States senate, and
IL not vloator OF the laws OF the
land, the nonsense should stop now and
he should be given his seat without
more ado
In place OF the churches being so
bitter against Smoot, they should say
word in his favor, For, In a state
which they declare is still devoted TO
polygamy, he has remained monog-
amist.
There may be some senators hall
ing from states devoted 10 monogamy
who cannot show as clean matri-
monal record as this same Reed Smoot.
The best way TO strengthen the
Mormon" Church is to continue to per-
secute an honestly-elected man who
dares to belong to It.

to build up; TO increase public excite
ment, not TO allay 1t; TO deny that
which nearly ali the older inhabitants
here admit Is true, and the chief pro-
motors OF the disturbance want to be
held up as shining specimens OF per-
sonal morality and exceptional loyal
ty qualities which people who know
them best fail to recognize.
1t Is nm undlsputable fact that the
most respected and influential people
IN society, In commerce. In finance, In
enterprise, In office and in politics, re-
fuse TO become mixed up In the mess.
AT the same time. there are persons
actively engaged IN stirring Il up
whose general course Is better kept be-
hind a veil than exposed TO public
scrutiny and their very appearance at
the front OF the movement casts
shadow upon the comparatively decent
men who have foollshly allowed their
names to appear as rs supporters. The
attempts that are made to excuse the
rash and self-refuting assertions as to
the lack Of knowledge OF existing condl-
tons here, are foolish in the extreme,
and cause a smile Of derlslon whenever
they are mentioned before folks who
know. No good can possibly come
from raklng up the old contentious
and boiling up the departing bitterness,
and neither religion, nor politics, nor
social conditions can be thereby en-
HANGED In the least degree. The whole
scheme has been traced to It's origin,
and when that Is shown up, its animus
and real intent will be easily UNDER
stood. Better throw q thick wet
blanket over the whole concern and

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

There are many of our citizens who
wonder why Fire Chief Deyne was re-
moved when other incumbents were
permitted to remain, In the changes
that have ut length been effected. We
understand that the chief has contsm-
plated for some time removing from the

he is personally interested, This has
been known TO many Of, the council
men and also to the Mayor, 1t has had
much to do with the change that has
been made, for we believe II Is gen
orally conceded that Deylne has been
capable chief and has taken q deep
interest in all matters pertaining to
the department Of which he has been
an efficient head, We think this Is
due to him, although he has been re-
gardcd by some folks as too much Of

from his political opponents and Is but
natural criticism. 1t certainly does not
appear in the choice Of his subor-
