A GRAND JURY, SURELY

The Smootitc agency is calling for d
grand jury to probe into the Sheets
case. Apparently it is not willing to
trust the investigation OF that matter
to tho Judge before whom the Smoot
conspirators deliberately placed 1T,
But no matter about that. The Trib-
uno was the first to demand a grand
jury here, to inquire into the transac-
tions of Mutton Bill Jones, Navajo
Jimmy, and their ilk. 1t is still In
dead earnest in demanding grand
jury, to inquire into all the malfea-
sances and misfeasances Of the several
public officials. 1t would like to see
such a body probe into the compound
ings of felony that we have shown
and traced to the Office Of the County
Attorney, also, a
We heartily join in the demand for
a grand jury, as we were the first to
propose. Our desire for a grand jury
has not one whit abated. And if such
body is empancled, The Tribune offers
TO furnish it evidence that will make
the hair curl of the members composing
that body. Let US have the grand
jury, by all means; and The Tribune
will see that it is kept busy, FOR thero
are plenty OF things in which its in
vestigations will yield rich assays.

JUDGE TRICKS PROTEST.

fully committed to his election; that
he had made his peace with it "and

election OF Howell as Representative and 20

We made this statement from COM

Editor Tribune;-In an editorial in

as tact, 1T Is necessarily vouched for
by the editor: In view of that fact.
ana beng published in q great news

pass, unchallenged, The charge made
in. the statement is false in whole and
IN part, unsupported by any matter
or circumstance known to me. IL is
absolutely false and being so at this
time is as pernicious as IL is false.
Neither officer nor layman, nor any
person whatsoever, has ever had nor
attempted to have any interview or
discussion Of any kind or character
relative to my. attitude or views re-
specting the Mormon or any other
church relative TO. my candidacy or 9th
erwlse. J. have never been approached
upon that subject by any one, either
directly or indirectly. In view of the
charge as made and since it purports
to state as q fact what / have done
my duties, / beg to state that as a
Judge l shall recognize but one master,
tho law, but one monitor, my con-
science, ana but one guide, my judg-
ment. The Mormon church, or any
of It's interests, Will be Judged accord
ing TO that standard and if in tho
right, as / Wow it, will certainly be
upheld. II wrong, as certainly con.
demned. All other churches, interests.
or individuals, will receive Judgment
on precisely the same basis and upon
no other. If The Tribune expects
more, it will suffer disappointment and
must govern itself accordingly; if it
or any church interest or individual
fears TO receive less; such fears are
vain. Neither the editor of The. Trib-
une, nor any one else, will. however
be permitted to make an assault upon
my character or integrity without any
justification therefor, with impunity.
IF the charge as made is true, [ am
