noon by shooting herself four
times through the breast with a

condition, with the smoking
weapon lying near her. The
unfortunate young lady was 20
years old, and the only cause as

While in Little Rock last week
Senator David l.. King, North
Arkansas candidate for COVER
nor, said to the Gazette:
If we open the campaign in
September, which is early
enough, SO far as joint discus
sions are concerned, we will
have about six months Of cam
paigniny before the primaries.
And it looks like six months is
enough. Really, unless the cam
didates see some reason for g
longer campaign, the people will
not demand it.

Four members of the peniten-

commissioner Of agriculture, say,
after an investigation, that the
convicts at the state farm are
we'll fed and are humanely cared

we'll treated as is consistent with
the surroundings, but people
should remember that the peni-

place for royal entertainment,
and that it not quite the thing to

The board of trustees Of the
University of Arkansas met at
Fayetteville last week, and Gov
ernOr Davis showed his control
ling hand by ousting DR.. Henry
S. Hartzog from the presidency
of that institution. DR.. HartzOg
was deposed, notwithstanding
the fact that during the few years
he was at the head of the Uni
versity the school enjoyed the
highest degree of prosperity in
its history. HIS dismissal is at
tributed solely to the fact that he
would not support the governor
in his political aspirations, which
in certain quarters is considered
sufficient grounds for charges Of
treason. In DR.. Hartzog's stead
was placed Circuit Judge John
N. Tillman, warm supporter OF
the governor. For several years
Judge Tillman has given his at
tention to the law, in which it is
said he has been a success, but
there is quite a difference in be-
ing a skilled lawyer and an edu-
Gator competent to ia ke charge
Of the states leading educational
institution. It IS to be regretted
that politics have entered into the
management of the University.
1t is to be regretted that a good
man must be sacrificed because
he chooses to remain outside the
band-wagon. The political greed
that would sacrifice the cause Of
education has certainly reached
point to be called dangerous.

People would do better for their
own interest and the advancement OF
the city by patronizing the merchants
who live here permanently than by
spending their money with travelling
takers who come here with brass
bands and flourishes of trumpets pre-
tending to sell goods at lower prices
than the home merchants. The goods
sold by these takers are shoddy
through and through. Sensible people
should know that, but few people are
sensible. They don't stop to think that
the money to pay the bands and other
expensive auXiliaries invented to
charm the coins out of their pocket is
paid by those who are foolish enough
to patroniZe the takers. You can buy
anything you require, clothing, shoes
or anything else, cheaper from those

CANNON THE MIGRATE.

Shakespeare depicts ingratitude as
one of the worst traits in the human
character.
Usually a man who is an migrate is
capable of almost any crime.
We have reviewed the political and
moral sides of Frank J. Cannon in
past issues of Truth, and now take
the liberty of giving a little history of
his business life. After Cannon was
elected u. S. senator, he launched
forth as a promoter of enterprises. He
started with the Pioneer Power Elec-
trio Works in Ogden Canyon. I'm
able to float bonds on this PROPOSE
ton, he induced his father and Will
ford Woodruff to pledge the church
to redeem the bonds. He then fioated
those bonds and made princely sum
for himself.
The facts are that Frank Cannon is
solely and absolutely responsible for
the church being in the electric light
business. Joseph F. Smith is simply
engaged now in protecting inc
church's interest in that business.
Cannon now tries to destroy by
Matchmaking in the Tribune, an IN
dustry that he helped to start, ana 10
ruin the men who have purchased OF
him. The Pioneer Electric WORKS
never could have been built had ho'
the church backed Cannon up.
George Q. Cannon has been ueau
four years. If he had lived ne Wouiu
have been the president OF the MOT
mon church. Is there a living pelns
who believes that Frank Cannon
would be fighting the church II HIS
father were the leader?
No man in the past has praised Jo-
semi r. Smith more for his sterling
qualities and pure life than Cannon,
Now if Joseph F. Smith was such =, a
good man four years ago, when III, nc
was according to Cannon, what mas 10
made him such a evil one now! ,,ot
it not simply because Cannon canno'
despoil the church? We think So

Sometime ago the Tribune came out
one day without any Hierarchy slush
in it's editorial columns. 1t was so un'
usual that all Israel wondered. What
was the matter with Furious j. Can
non? Was the Cannon muzzled with
booze?
What ails this town?
Too much Tribune, too much Can
non, too much noise from Kearns' lit
tie pocket pistol
It is not known whether the $4,000
challenge from the Tribune to the
News came from Joe Lippman or
Furious J. Cannon. In some respects
the bluff looks like a Hebraic inspi-
ration on the part Of Lippman, OIL
though it also has the appearance OF
a long shot from Cannon. However,
neither of the slaves thought for a
minute that the big Tom purse would
have to give up a cent. Both joey
and Furious j. had a "hunch" that the
News wouldn't cover the money. But
speaking of subscriptions, will the
Trib. inform the public how many
Mormon subscribers it secured under
CRATER Heath? Speak up now and
tell the brethren how many you
hooked, before you gave them tho
dinky dink.

TRUTHS.

How the Gentiles of Utah must ap
preciate the way their business is go
ing to pieces under the knocking of
Lippman, Cannon and Kearns! The
Mormon business is unhurt. Look at
the indisputable evidence. The stock
in Mormon commercial institutions is
going up steadily in price. Those in
stitutions are getting all the eastern
money they want, and to spare. But
Gentle mining interests are retarded
and injured, all because the Tribune
knockers are soaring investors from
putting their money into enterprises
where Gentiles are the chief interest
ed parties. Kearns, Lippman and
Cannon are telling eastern people that
Gentle investments are unsafe,
hence the direct injury that comes to
those investments through the vicious
falsehood.
The Tribune doesn't like the proof
that it's subscription list in Utah is
lower than that of any other daily
in Salt Lake City. 1t wants to swim
die its advertisers a little longer with
the fraud of padded circulation.
Truth is knocking the pins from I'M
der the knockers organ. How the
Tribune stuck pig squeals!
Every man who pays a dollar to the
Tribune advertising department con-
tributes that dollar toward preventing
outside capital from investing in this
state.
Joey Lippman and frankie Cannon
prate of the purity of women" as be-
comes a pair of hypocritical liber-
tines. But pure womanhood keep
away from them.
There are plenty of houses to rent
in Salt Lake now. The Tribune
knockers are giving landlords a hard
time of it, by telling eastern people
that Salt Lake is a horrible place for
them.

to hoard up the money he has

perhaps Tom Kearns could not have

Tom Kearns now seems oebo,.,
of having begged and coaxed JoennI
F.. Smith to help him to be re.o1ootpi,
as United States senator: but tha roo
son for Toms shame is that tha No
mon president could not be inducod
to take such a step.
OF course Frank J. Cannon does NOT
IKE Joseph f. Smith any more than
does rom Kearns. The reason is the
same-Joseph F. wouldn't give his aid
toward the reelection of Frank as IT
S. senator when the latter ran as a
Silver Republican, nor would he aid in
the reelection of Tom Kearns.
Frank j. Cannon says the Mormon
church consists of it's first presidency
patriarch, apostles, first council of
seventy and presiding bishopric--
twenty-siX persons in all. Once on q
time there were not so many-when
Frank could reach his fathers ear
and the aged President Wooduff
could hardly get a word in edgeways
for Frankie's glib tongue urging
schemes for his self-aggrandizement
frankie was the church, financially,
then.
1t was the honest, courageous Cen
tiles of Utah that defeated Tom
Kearns for reelection They despised
and loathed him. If the Gentiles had
wanted Tom Kearns in the senate for
another term, the Mormons probably
would have let him slide in notwith-
standing Joseph F. Smiths non-inter-
| ference, as the choice was to be a
Gentle senator. But no upright Gen.
tile would tolerate him or his methods
and as a consequence of determined
Gentle opposition to his reelection,
Utah maintained her self-respect.

Salt Lake is going to have an era of
prosperity. Everything indicates it..
ex-Senators Kearns, Cannon and the
Tribune can't stop it.
