UNDESIRABLE LOADING,

a trial of very great importance as
well as notoriety begins IN Boise on
May 9th. Instead Of being straight
judicial case, this trial stands in the
public eye AS representing in way
certain industrial and economic forces
and antagonisms which in fact do not
necessarily have anything at all to do
with the trial. These forces have,
by their representatives and by antago'
nistic ideas and expressions, surround
ed the cnsc with fogs and mists that
should be swept away from 1T IN the
public mind, as they will undoubtedly
be swept away from it in the court.
testatons by those who know nothing
about the ease, that the accused are
unQuestionably innocent Others,
equally ignorant Of the case, are loud
and insisteut in proclaiming them gull
ty. A part of the public denounce the
officers who arrested the prominent ac~
cused; another part commend the offi-
GERS and denounce those who object to
their methods. We have even the re
markablc instance Of President Of the
United States pronounclng the dictum
that these accused are undesirable
citizens" thus contributing his inhu
ence against them, in a way calculated
10 prejudice, to some extent at least,
the jurors who may be called upon to
deal with the case.
IT is unfortunate that the case is
thus loaded up in the public mind with
meretricious and Objectionable preju-
dice and comment. OF course, none of
this can figure in the trial, openly at
least; but it should not be attached
to the case at all. 1t should be dropped
out also by the public. If there is
any one thing that remains the
stitutions, it is our systems OF jury
trials and the impartial, just treatment
of accused persons, when they come TO
trial in the courts, We hope and e1'
pect 10 see this pride or the people
in our courts justified and made even
more firm by the result of the trials

AN EMPTY MOUTH"

The organ which acts as Mouth, in
the administration Of the hierarchlcal
ordinance of false presentation TO the
world, does not seem to have been
properly instructed previous to its of
ficiating activities. After saying that
there are no new cases of polygamy,
it confesses that ''If there arc any
new cases, the actors therein should
be punished. - And it still demands
proof-after ignoring all that has been
furnished.
But there is more. Let us refer to
a statement issued by the first presl"
dency of the Mormon church, and rati-
fed by the last April conference Of
that body, "with. all the air of re-
cording perfectly known circum-
stance" TO quote the Mouth:
The wonder is. not that there have
been sporadic cases OF plural marriage,
but that such cases have been so few,
Glamoring the situation over with
the most favorable expression which
they could command, the hierarchs
still admit that there have been a few
cases of new lygamy-meaniug since
the manifesto. The portion Of the Ia
test church manifesto which we have
quoted does not specifically make ad-
mission that these sporadic cases
have occurred since the issuance of
the Woodruff document; but the text
of the surrounding matter makes def
mite reference to that period. The ex-
toll.
there is difference between the po-
]ygamous principals and their Mouth
the minor church organ saying that
there arc absolutely no instances of
new plural marriage, and the hie-
rarchs themselves admitting that there
are a few.
1t may be that the Mouth places no
reliance in the word of the prophets;
but its situation remains unchanged in
that ii is denying the existence of
new polygamy, and demanding proof
of the same, while the most interested
parties admit that there is, and AT the
same time thus furnish the proof for
which the Mouth is always open in
demand.
But the Mouth has learned one of
the tricks of pricstcraft. The Trb-
une's contention has been that hun
dTeds of new cases of polygamous mar
riages have occurred within the Nor
mon church since the manifesto. At
tempting 70 twist the real controversy
into d shape desired for its own pur-
pose, tho Smoot agency says: "There
are NO MORE new polygsmous mar
rjages, and there will be none IN
UTAH" Of course, there is Canada,
and there is Mexico; but the principal
hypocrisy presented by the Mouth lies
in the assertion that there is "no
more such law breaking. Jf at the
present time the practice is in abey-
ance IN Utah, that moral Improvement
within the church here has not been
the result Of the activities of the
church apologist. For any betterment
which may have come in this respect,
the American party and The Tribune
arc entitled to the credit, They have
consistently cried out against the crime
which is admitted by the ecclesiasts,
While the Mouth has been attempting
to misreprescnt the facts by denying
that to which its masters have openly
