Ordinarily a political banquet cuts
short council meeting or causes it
being set for scne other night. AL
though the Republicans had their big
banquet last night, not one councilman
attended, and no one at the council
last evening would have heard anything
to indicate there was a counter attrac-
ton.

HONORS LINCOLN
WITHOUT A ROW
Republican Banquet Comes Off With
out Hostile Demonstration
by the Militia.
MUCH TALK: SOME COFFEE
JUDGE ZANE GIVES REMINIS-
cENcES OF MARTYR.

The Lincoln Day banquet, the plan
ming of which well nigh disrupted the
Utah National Guard, was pulled off in
peace and quietude in the Armory last
night, About $50 straight-Iine Republic
ans sat down to the board, and the oc-
casion had three features. One was
Judge c. S. Zane's personal "reminiscences
Of Abraham Lincoln; the second was a
redhot letter from United States Sena-
tor George Sutherland on the subject Of
newspaper ethics, and the third was the
fact that Judge ID, n. Straup, who acted
as tOastmaSUer, unceremOniOuSly ad-
journed the banquet before BILL elias
mann OF Ogden, who was down on the
programme for a speech, and who was
loaded with it, had q chance TO uncork
the flowing well Of his elOquence.
The angry members of the guard made
neither hostile demonstration nor flank
movement The battery drill did not dis
turb those who had gathered to do hon
or to the first Republican president; the
band muffled its instruments so that they
did not disturb nor check the Outpour-
ing of forensic defamation. Inside all
was peace, and from without there was
no disturbing sound. Colonel Joseph
Geoghegan had gone to California, and
his angry satellites refrained from
troubling.
The hall was prOfusely decorated with
crayon pictures of Lincoln and RooSe-
welt. Bunting was displayed, and over
the speakers table there was Il huge
American flag.

Sutherland on Journalism
Following is his letter in part:

Following is his letter in part:
Il have had no newspaper experience,
but 1 have an idea that the old fash
Toned ethics Of the common, everyday
life ought to be good newspaper ethics.
A newspaper, therefore. has no more
right to lie than an Individual. The own
er Of a newspaper who hires an editor to
lie about people whom the owner does
not like, is just as contemplate as an
individual who should hire a scandal
mOnger to go about the neighborhOOd
detailing false gossip about his neigh
borS; and the editor who permits him
self to be hired for this kind of work
is a little more contemplate than either.
1.-The business OF a newspaper is to
gather news and to publish it fearlessly,
whether it is Of a character to please
the owner or not. A newspaper, like an
individual, may falsify by suppressing the
truth or colOring the truth TO suit the
bias of its prOprietOrs quite as effectu-
ally as by making positively false state
ments. 1 have always thought it in
decent for a newspaper, for instance, to
publish false special dispatches pUrpOrt-
ing to come from other places, when,
in fact. they were written in the home
office, or to decline to publish unwe1-
come news contained in real dispatches
sent by It's correspondents in order to
crafty a feeling of innate 'cUsSedneSS'
on the part of its owner"
The audience seemed to see personal
references in this portion of the sena-
tors letter, and the sentences were fire.
quently punctuated with applause.
The letter of regret from Mr.. Meter
was also warmly received, for he has
been regarded as an American" party
man, and his epistle was looked upon as
an indication that he has been snatched
as a brand from the burning.
After the reading of the letters, the
glee club sang feelingly Where Are the
Boys of the Old Brigade?'

Governor Cutler Speaks

Governor John c. Cutler was then in
trOduced to respond to the toast of THE
Progress of Utah Under the Republican
Party" The governor began by paying
the customary need Of praise to Lincoln.
He said in part:
under Republican rule almost cOntinu-
Ously during the ten years of statehood.
It's progress, therefore, has been COM
mensurate with that of the country at
large; and that is the most wonderful
progress made IN the history of any ma
ton. Utah's progress during those years
has not been one-sided or partial. It has
been rounded and complete. Ali depart
ments of industry worth while have par
classes of people have benefited by IL.
It has been industrial, social and edu-
cational. Increase in material wealth
has been accompanied by betterment of
conditions in all departments of refine
ment and culture. If ignorant parvenus
have occasionally arisen, they have been
the exception; and their fall into obscur-
prominence. The rocket has invariably
turned out a stick
"In general, then, those whom the
mines, the mills, the ranges, the farms
and the factories have enriched. have
been liberal IN endOwing Institutions OF
benevolence and culture and refinement
and have availed themselves of excep-
tional opportunities for educational and
social advancement Utah has reached
proud eminence in all that makes for
education and true development and re-
finement It's educational status, as
shown in the condition of it's public and
private schools, is enviable; and in NOR
ais its people do not fear comparison with
any other part of our nation

Don Saloon Defeated.
The petition Of James Hegney for the
granting Of a liquor license for The Don
saloon, T02 West Second South street,
was denied by a vote of to against
the recommendations of the license

the opening of the saloon by the resi-
dents of that neighborhood, and the
council was petitioned to deny the Ii
cense. At the time it was referred to
the license committee. It came back
last night to be voted upon and was
beaten.

Ny attention has been called to the
present condition Of the records of the
city court, and in particular to the civil
division of such court. Since the pas

much confusion has arisen because of the
fact that the dOckets of the former JUS

The request has been made for assist

this situation. and Il is my opinion that

Z. E. Booth Starts It.

Hiram E. Booth, prospective holder Of
a fat federal job, started the proceedings.
He introduced a glee club, and while 1t
was making it's way to the platform Gov
ernOr John G. Cutler OStentatiOUSly shook
hands With Ex-Governor Heber NJ. Wells,
apparently III token of the harmony sup
starts. The glee club sang zone Hun
dIed Years to the same tune that an
day of Joseph Smith in the Tabernacle
last December. Then the band played
America and the audience sang It.
It was a strictly dry banquet, and
posing of it. There was music at in
tervals during the dinner, and when the
red, white and blue ice cream had been
safely tucked away Attorney General NJ.
A. Breeder introduced Judge Straup as
the POSTMASTER. Mr.. Breeder prefaced
the introduction with a few remarks
himself, in which he praised Lincoln ana
the Republican party, told how the
shackles had been struck off the limbs
of 100000 bOndmen, and how the grand
old party had crowned the aforesaid
bondmen with a glorious crown of lib
erty.
straup's Tribute to Lincoln.
Judge Straup paid an eloquent tribute
to Lincoln. He said that in sound legal
knowledge he might have been surpassed
by Webster; that in affairs of state Ben
jamin Franklin might have been his su-
periOr; that in military affairs he had
yielded to the judgment of General Grant.
But no man, Judge Straup declared. had
ever combined in himself so great a
knowledge of all these subjects. Judge
StTaup delivered a panegyric on the
achievements Of the Republican party.
Letters Of regret were then read from
Senators Reed SmOOt and George Suth-
erland, Congressman Joseph Howell and
John Meter of ogden. All of the let
tiers were commonplace eulOgies of Lin
coin except the one from Senator Suth-
erIand. The senator said, after con-
