DOWN WITH MOB LAW!

The IrObocrutlc spirit exhibited by
some Of tho labor organizations in ref
erence 10 the prosecutions IN Idaho NJ
persons suspected OF the murder OF ex-
Governor Steunenberg. IS startling 10
all supporters of law and order. The
threats that have been uttered by lead
sng but excited orators ana organizers
are subversive Of the public welfare,
pnd their calls for sympathy with Grim
finals arc out Of all reason and respect.
The dispatches Of today on these up
rislngs are ominous, and the measures
they expose are menacing to the peace
Of the country. Labor unions that de-
sire the tolerance which should be ex-
tended TO all lawful societies. should be
very SLOW to fall I'm with the desperate
and violent suggestions Of lnnamma-
.ory agitators.
The notion that the Governors of
Idaho and Colorado want 10 hang inno-
cent men, Is the very hight of absur-
dity. Everything that viii be done IN
the pursuit Of the assassins who have
been engaged IN outragcs that ought
to receive Just retribution. will be con-
Quoted according to law, aud the accuse
ed will have the benefit Of every facll-
fly for their defence that can be ra-
tionally desired. But there must be no
mob violence or demands upon courts,
or lawyers. or officials Of any status to
overawe them or hinder the course OF
Justice. II necessary, the entire powers

We utter a warning in no unfriendly

A DANGEROUS HERESY.

The Congressional Record Of the
proceedings OF Congress on February
10, gives full report OF the speech Of
Senator Perkins VI California, when
presenting a petition signed by several
thousand women Of that state for the
expulsion OF senator Reed Smoot. We
copy the remarks Of the gentleman in
another part Of this issue Of the Des-
oret News. The dispatches from WASH
ingtoH Of that date gave but a meager
account OF the Senator's address. but
the gist OF It was that while recogniz-
ing the right Of petition, he also held
81 to be his duty TO be governed by tho
Constitution OF the United States as to
the right of Senator to n seat in the
body to which he was duly elected.
Senator Patterson Of Colorado also pre-
scented a similar petition and took a
similar position IN relation 10 II.
Some of the California papers have
harshy criticised Senator Perkins for
that which was most certainly his
sworn duty. or course those criticisms
were mingled with the usual unttuth-
ful attacks and installations against the
Mormon Church, ot which Senator
Smoot Is a distinguished member. and
yet they entirely disclaim any attack
upon his religion

A special election, held for the purpose
of determining which or two young Ken

contestants Tom Witherow and Fred
Warnock, agreed to leave the award of
both prizes to the people of the township
werein both had been reared. They held
a special election to settle the question.
The best man was to take both, bride
and a clear field for the nomination. The
young lady most interested presided over
the ballot box as both clerk and judge.

but few over hundred voters live
within its borders.

question is put by a London paper, in
discussing the use of the expression
by the Vienna correspondent of the
Times in connection with the dismissal
of the American ambassador to Aus
tria-Hungary. Anything that seems
slangy is generally stamped as an
Americanism, but in this case, as in so
many others of a similar nature. 1t Is
shown that the phrase can be found
imbedded in the classics of the Eng
lish language Fired out" an Ameri-
