FORESTER NOT A MORMON

The ends to which anti-"Mormon9 pre-
judicc and misrepresentation go find
daily illustration in divers ways. A
couple Of weeks ago the Federal grand
jury sitting in this city indicted a
considerable number OF citizens more
or less prominent, for participation IN
alleged coal land frauds. Among them
was Robert FORESTER. geologist Of the
Utah Fuel company. For some days
he could not be found by the officers
Of tho law, and there WAS no little talk
Of predetermined flight with a view
TO escaping the consequences OF court
trial. This soon proved to be ground
less, however as he gave himself up
and was placed under bonds In Den

THE sMooT CASE.


The New York Evening Post takes
the view already expressed by the
News" that many OF the signatures
TO the petition for the expulsion Of the
Senior senator from Utah from the
Senate, were obtained under false pre-
lenses. Our New York contemporary
says: Most OF the good people who
have signed anti-Smoot petitions did
SO under the erroneous impression that
Mr.. Snoot had superabundance lof
wives The Post quotes the New
York Trlbune's Washington cores
pondent as follows THE leaders OF
the Senate do not expect that the
question whether or not Senator Smoot
shall be allowed 10 retain his seat win
ever come TO n vote, and 1t is assumed
that after both sides to the contro-
yersy have expressed their views, and
Senator smoot has replied to the
charges Of the majority on the door OF
the Senate the entire affair will be per
n,itted to go 10 the calendar as unfin-
ished business, there 70 rest for all
time and the Post asks. by way OF
comment. why Is not that the best
plan all around2"
This, we believe is the opinion OF
many who have given, the controversy
serious attention. They have come TO
the conclusion that Il was mistake
TO permit ambitious politicians to lay
unholy hands upon the government Of
the United States for purposes of re-
venge, They have become convinced
that the whole miserable business was
abuse OF the right OF petition. which
right was never intended to be club
in the hands Of dsgruntled aspirants
for Offices, with which to terrorize
American voters, but means whereby
the weak might implore the protection
OF the strong arm of the government

calibre Of the leading antl-"Mormons.r
