No man who has mind of his own,
unless he is either hireling, serf or
coward can long remain supporter
IF Tom Kearns. Every man who diff
'ers from the Kearns rule or ruin"
policy, no matter what his standing
is in the community, the Tribune
blackguards and ISLANDERS, from the
president of the United States down.
The Tribune a week or two ago is
sued bonds for 100000 and to secure
the bonds gave a trust deed on every
thing it owned-printing presses, limo
type machines, good will, subscription
list accounts owing to 1t, and so forth.
Ezra Thompson was named as the
trustee. Persistent rumors are now
current that Mr.. Thompson is about
to lease the Tribune from it's owners
and to become nominally responsible
for the paper. This contemplated
move is a transparent trick. Mayor
Thompson is not a newspaper man
and has no talents in that direction.
The facts are that Mr.. Kearns and his
friends see that the Tribune's course
as knocker is nearing it's end. Mr.
hedIllS Wallis W DISdh ulo COlll at
with Furious ]. Cannon and needs a
legal excuse to do so. He wants to
get rid of Furious ]. and he wants to
save the money the impaired earnings
of the Tribune is costing him. If he
leases the paper it will be a good ex-
cuse to change its policy and take the
wind out of the sails of the Intermoun-
tain Republican. If the leasing propo-
sition is consummated it is reported
that Judge G. G. Goodwin will succeed
Furious ]. as editor of the sheet.
Food Inspector Frazer, since he
went into the business of making
charges against postoffice officials, has
had no time to attend to the duties Of
his place as food inspector. He has

TRUTHS.

NJ 10.
The next time the Republicans have
a banquet the committee should define |
the word toast" for the benefit of |
some speakers. Also the request that |
speakers confine themselves to the |
subject and time allotted. 1t is rank |
discourtesy for one speaker to intrude
upon another's subject or time.
The Republican banquet held in the
Armory hall on Lincoln's birthday was
a decided success. One objection, how
ever, was that all the speakers outside
of Salt Lake City were forced off the
program. Some of the orators, judy
ing from the length of their speeches,
we imagine must have thought that
the banquet was to last three days in
stead of three hours.
The Herald is complaining of the
pitiful bowling of the Tribune. This
is not right. About the only thing the
Tribune has been getting lately is "ths
howl" and it is entitled to that.
That the anti-Smoot people made a
dismal failure of their case before the
senate committee is stating it mildly.
One might judge from the way the
witnesses contradicted each other on
the so-called oath of vengeance" and
the total collapse of Smurthwaite and
Wolfe on cross-examination that G.
Mostyn Owen and julius Caesar Bur-
rows were getting ready to join the
Mormon church.
That lost CD letter of c.. Mostyn
Owen to julius Caesar Burrows would
no doubt make mighty interesting
reading.
If called upon by Tom Kearns, G.
Mostyn Owen might furnish the Tri-
bune a copy of his famous lost CD
letter to Burrows for publication.

The Tribune and it's owners have al
ways insisted that President Roose-
welt was quietly backing them up in
their present crusade. Some few
weeks before the appointment of the
United States marshal was made a
gentleman approached a gathering of
leading Kearns followers and pro-
pounded the following: Gentlemen,
supposing Mr.. Spry is appointed Unit

According TO Sentellas story he and Reno
engaged rooms at a lodging house across
from the police station on Eleventh street.
Friday afternoon and evening the two men
made the rounds together and the last
Sentella could remember of his money and
companion was when he fell into a doze
in the back room OF some place he could
not later locate. When he awoke in the
room both his savings and associate were
gone.
