ARMY BLUE NOT LIKED
IN FEDERAL BUILDING
Band of rs Composing the
Church and Their Tools
Ignore Law.

| Executive orders and Federal statutes
are seldom considered by the band of
| twenty-slX composing the church when
| they stand in the way of pushing
| church fayorites to the front. This
| band OF law breakers, who, for so many
| years, have deticd the laws Of both God
! and man, have no love for soldiers Of
| the American Union. The apostolic
| Senator and his two servile tools in the
Utah Congressional delegation likewise
show their love for men who wore the
blue. Most all Federal officials in Salt
Lake have the same contempt for a
soldier as their ecclesiastical bosses, and
they show it. Here is what the Revised
Statutes Of the United States, section
1904 M, says regarding Union soldiers:
Persons honorably discharged from the mil
itnry or naval service by reason of disability
resulting from wounds or sickness incurred in
line OF duty shall be preferred for appoint.
ment TO civil Office, provided they found
TO possess The business capacity necessary for
tho proper discharge oil tho duties OF such
Office
Sec, 1855. In grateful recognition OF the
services; sacrifices and sufIerings of persons
honorably discharged from the military and
naval service OF the country, by reason of
wounds, disease, or the expiration OF terms OF
enlistment, IL is respectfully recommended to
bankers, merchants, manufacturers, mcchan-
les, farmers and persons engaged in industrial
pursuits to give them the preference for APP
pointment to rcmuneratiye situations and en-"
ployments,
To emphasize this statute the Prosi-
dent of the United States issued the fol-
lowing executive order:
The attention of the department is hereby
called 10 the provisions of the laws giving
preference TO the veterans in appointment aud
retention, The President desires that whom
ever the needs OF the service will justify it,
and the laws viii permit, preference shall be
given alike in appointment and retention 70
honorably discharged veterans of the Civil
war who arc fit and qualified to perform tho
duties of the places which they seek or arc
filling. THEODORE ROOSEVELT
White House, January IT, 1902.
Monday The Tribune printed list of
several of the "'grizzled veterans"
whom the hierarchical band compelled
the Utah delegation In Congress to have
appointed, The first of these Mormons
was William Spry, U. S. Marshal. To
among his first official acts was to re-
move John Alves from the position of
bailiff. Like "Navajo jimmy the
sight of Grand Army uniform is dis
tasteful to the u. S. Marshal, hence
Alves was bounced. The law was thus
ignored, the executive order was ig-
nored. Queer, is It not, that the "big
stick does not fall on official heads
In Federal service in Utah.
The commission of W. NJ. McCrea
as Assistant United States Attorney
reached Mr.. McCrea from Washington
Monday. The appointment takes effect

years has been a member of the Repub.
