THE COWARDLY TRIBUNE.

The Tribune grows frantic in it's
efforts to disparage the Gentiles who
have given testimony for the defense
in the Smoot case. The specials from
Washington which appear daily in
that paper one would have thought
are sufficiently mendacious, mfslead-
ing and cold bloodedly false to suit
the most depraved taste. However
those masterpieces in their line. are
not sufficiently depraved for the Trib-
une. To help out their deficiency the
paper has it's local staff at work, but
the efforts of the latter are puny COM
pared to the stuff that comes from
the master mind at Washington
One battle ground selected by the
Tribune is that which refers to the
status of those who were in polygamy
at the time the manifesto prohibiting
polygamy was issued. If as the Trib-
une says, there was no understanding
to the effect that existing relations
should not be disturbed. why was it
that the late grand jury did not re-
turn indictments against those few
old polygamists who are Onenly. con-
fessedly and VIGOROUSLY still living in
poiygamy. There was either an I'M
derstanding that those old fellows
were to be left alone, or the grand
jury was remiss in its duty, very re
miss, indeed. Difficulty of obtaining
evidence could not be pleaded, be-
cause there was no difficulty. The
polygamists themselves confessed
their status and made no effort to
screen themselves.
If there was no such understanding
in regard to the old chaps, how is 1t
that ex-County Attorney Westervelt,
a Gentle. a Mormon hater, elected to
his office by the grace of Senator
Kearns, absolutely refused to enter
tain complaints against those old poly
gamists even when importuned to do
so by Charles Mostyn Owen, the pro
fessional affidavit maker, and others?
There was either an understanding or
Westervelt was as remiss in his duty
as the grand jury.
If there was no such understanding

until Sir Galahad Kearns comes along
with his tin ormor and tin sword to
punish the Mormon church, because
it refused to get into politics and
send him back to the Senate and also

assistant senator.
How proud we Gentiles are of our
self-constituted champions in the
fight the Tribune is making on the
Mormons! Tom Kearns, the leader
OF a pure and holy cause for prin-
ciple's sake. 1t is to laugh. And the
editor of the Tribune, ex-senator Can
non, Mormons and Gentiles both are
proud of him. A Gentleman who has
in public meetings and elsewhere
boosted that he was a Mormonfi
through and through, from the sole of
his foot to the crown of his head. In
years gone by when the Cannon's
ruled the church roost, Frankie re-
ceived more favors from the church
and the Mormon people than any other
man. He sought all the church influ-
ence he could get and more 100. He
let nothing pass even to carrying a
recommend" from his bishop and a
certificate to the effect that he had
paid his tithing, and he is as much
of a Mormon today as he ever was.
Yes, we Gentiles are justly proud of
him as a leader! We are like the lee
lures he reads us in the columns of
the Tribune. We like to be told by
him above all men of our duties as
Gentiles and the responsibilities
which rest upon us. He and Tom
the two great mentors.
The Tribune makes a poor show
ing in its efforts to disparage the
character and standing of the men
Who have been examined for the de
Tense in the Smoot case. Character
and standing are points the Tribune
should have avoided. It opens the
way for something to be said about
the witnesses for the other side. What
about the standing and credibility of

They are no more believable than the myths and legends of the ancients. It is inconceivable that a learned astronomer and meteorolo- gist actually believes that the sun is passive except when 1t is ''perturbed" by some planets equinox; that mists and vapors are injected and infused into the sun by Mercury's perturbation to form mists and sleet on the earth; and that during the so-called Jupiter peri od'' the carrying capacity of the earth's atmosphere becomes disordered and weakened, so that it cannot transport and diffuse humidity, thereby causing consuming droughts in places and de- structive cloudbursts in other localities. One who actually believes that kind of absurdity is really beyond the reach of influence by evidence and argument The bare statement of such propositions is a sufficient refutstion.
 Planetary weather forecasts are too far-fetched 10 be practicable. The prophets in that line work al the wrong end of the problem.

 Life need never become monoronous. TO matter how long the camping trip is extended; for in the state on the far western coast there is many mountain peak to scale, many good hunt to be had, and, if it be southern California, the campers may wander at will during the day and sleep at night without the shelter of a tent. Often in the wan dering the wayfarers come upon unoc- cupied ranch house, left hospitably open, as is the custom of the country; and here one is welcome to bed ol boughs, to the big fireplace, to shelter of roof. But shelter is not of prime importance in a land where one need have small fear of rainfall so many months of the year.
