eooDING's GROSS CONTEMPT.

1t was inevitable that the Orchard
interview, given out on Friday morning,
should have made a commotlon in the
court at Boise. The purpose of that IN
terview was plain. 1t wes to impress
upon the court, and especially upon the
Jurors, the proposition that when Or
chard shall be called to the stand, what
he says will be entirely voluntary, un-
solicited, and without promise or hope
of immunity OF reward. AS such, his
testimony, or Confession will nat
urally have much more weight than If
it would have il influenced or pur-
chased.
1t is claimed that Governor Gooding
is responsible for this astonishing in
trusion into the ethics Of judicial pro-
cedure. He is the man who got the
interview IN question, for publicity.
That the Judge presiding in the Hay
wood trial strongly resented that pub
hcation, was but natural. 1t was a
trifing with the court for which there
is neither justification nor excuse. 1t
would, presumably, DC but few days
until Orchard would be put on the
stand and would tell his story in open
court. There is the place for him to
tell it. There is the place, also, for
the facts to- come out as TO how Orchard
came to confess, and whether he did
so Oh any sort of promise, either by
way of escape from prosecution for his
part IN the crime, or for any reward
To have this sprung on the public while
the jury was being empancled is dis
! tinct insult to the court,
Governor Gooding appears to consider
himself entrusted with special respon

SIMPLY COMMISSIONERS.

There appears to be no doubt that the
County Commissioners Of this county
undertook to put the committee from
the Grand Army which solicited the
usual appropriation for Memorial day,
under the rack of an inouisition. 1t
appears to have offended tho Commits
sioners that some of the Grand Army
men attended a meeting of the Ameri~
can club and cheercd a speaker who
said some words not complimentary to
President Roosevelt.> 1t appears that
the Commissioners made up their minds
from the first ''go-off' that if it were
true that the Grand Army men had
attended that meeting and had cheered
the speaker, they would refuse TO make
the appropriation; that is TO say, the
Grand Army must conduct itself in Il
way to meet the appreciation Of the
Commissioners or the Commissioners
will not appropriate any money for
Memorial day.
This is very remarkable sort Of
situation to disclose. 1t appears that
the Commissioners wisdom and pat
riotism are but skin deep. They will
not allow the exercise of the ordinary
individual liberty by members of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. The
Grand Army boys must conduct them
selves in a way to meet the approba-
tion of these extremely narrow minded
Commissioners or those Commissioners
will do their best to destroy the effec-
tiveness Of great National day of
memorial to the departed dead. 1t is
not surprising that the Grand Army
members resent this attitude on the
! part Of the Commissioners and decline
TO be subject TO any such censorship or
to have their personal liberty abridged
in such a way under threat of such
miserable effort to "get cven' on
the part of public body. The atti-
| tude of the Commissioners in this mat
ter is utterly indefensible, is q sort OF
fanatical intolerance that is not only
unbecoming in a public official, but
that would be bitterly resented, even
supposing the Commissioners were dol
| ing out this money from their own
| pockets; whereas, ms matter OF fact,
they are paying nothing on their own
account. but are merely .custodians or
almoners for the public. 1t seems TO
us that the position taken by Messrs.
Burns and Kent in this matter is the
correct one; that the Commissioners
have treated them with such contumely
and disrespect that 1T is unbecoming
in them or any other member Of the
Grand Army to appear before that mar
row~minded, bigoted, and autocratic
body with, any other request for money,
or to humble themselves at all in this
matter; and that it would be beneath
the dignity of the order to even ac-
cept that money now, though it be APP
propriated. The Grand Army can cas-
lily make up this amount among the
people of this city without further
troubling the County Commissioners
about it, And this is what we would
advise the Grand Army committee TO
do

sibility in this case, to see that the
accused arc convicted, But in this he
makes wretched mistake. The ac-
cused are in the hands of the court.
The judicial department Of the State
has the exclusive charge of tho case.

which the trial is held; it has nothing

to be dealt with according to law, If
the Legislature should attempt to do
anything further in the case, its action
would be null and void. Likewise IS
the action Of the executive contrary to
law and orderly procedure when he at
tcmpts TO interfere with or IN any way
influence the trial. Governor Gooding
is not amenable to procedure for CON
tempt Of court; but he has done thing
which is clearly a gross contempt OF
the whole judiciary system of Idaho.

eral use prior to the advent Of later
inventions, Forcsecing what they were
to be before other men thought OF them,
the allwise seers could have at least
adopted the new devices for themselves,
even if they had possessed no desire 70
extend the results of their genius TO
humanity generally,
Probably the great inventors will be
somewhat surprised at the Roberts pos
tulation; but it is highly improbable
that they can be greatly startled there
by, They may not have a very close
acquaintance with prophets, but 1T is
supposable that they have some idea of
the common prophetic "nervc. Hence,
VIC will presume, Mr.. Alexander Gra-
ham Bell may continue TO affirm that
he had something TO do with the in
vention of the very handy telephone
which the inspired ones use. a gentle
man named Morse will still continue TO
be thought of in connection with the
telegraph. unObtrusIve as he usually
is, Mr.. Edison may yet permit himself
to indulge in the fond fancy that he

acquaintance with the construction of
talking machines. Charles +. Tripler
and the great English Professor Red
wood are still expected to assert that
it was not Joseph Smith, nor any 9th
err Mormon prophet, who introduced
them to the mysteries of the manufac
turc of liquid air,
But why go furtherl Mr.. Roberts
knows that his prophets were as lgno-
rant Of these things as a Digger lndian
and he also knows that hls salary
must be earned in some way. Liquid
air! What is that, compared with air
that sizZles with holiness!

THE ROBERTS HOT AIR.

While Mr.. Roberts was telling the
people in the Tabernacle that the
prophets were the real inventors, and
that they possessed foreknowledge or
all the good and evil happenings IN
the world, he might have made MS re-
marks infinitely more interesting II he
had been more specific. There are many
circumstances connected with the hls-
tory Of his people which might cause
the ordinary mortal to wonder why ad"
vantage was not taken OF this Won
derful prescience which Mr.. Roberts
attributed to his patron saints.
Prophets in general, whether they be
of the Mormon variety or otherwise,
seem toedevelop an abnormal affection
for wealth. The Utah eeers have fur
nished unmistakable evidence of pos
session Of this trait in q remarkable de-
gree; but it is noticeable that they do
not own all of the very valuable mines
which have been discovered in this
State, If the revelators had been
blessed with SO much of provision as
Mr.. Roberts is pleased to credit them
with, they could have gone right out
and directed attention to the very spot
at which digging would unearth many
princely fortunes. But they did not
do so, preferring to leave these discov-
cries to the ungodly Gentiles. These
outsiders merely went about the
work with common human knowledge
and prudence for guide, and with or
binary inventions of men for imple-
ments. They have exposed the riches
of mother earth in millions, bringing
prosperity to the State and wealth TO
themselves. But the ''inspired' breth-
rem have been contented TO take second
luck behind the mere human Gentle,
notwithstanding their ability to ramble
among tho happenings Of the future.
Mr.. Roberts should explain the hie-
rarchical lack of prospicience IN this
most important matter, otherwise pco-
plo will be inclined to the belief that
on one particular Sabbath, at least, he
was afflicted with very severe bys-
terra.
1t is strange, too, that for so many
years the prophets were content with
the human crudities which were in gen-

With very disconsolate air;
Her fluffy blue tea gown was fastened
And frowsy and rumpled her hair.

But she buried her face in her kerchief
OF lace,
And she cried, and she cried, and she

Or let's take drive In the sunshiny

Or a canter on horseback. my dear"

But refusing all comfort, she pushed me

AN OFFICIAL BOOR.

When a public official in his public
Office plays the rutlian and the bully, to
one visiting him on official business, as
did United States Attorney Booth on
Tuesday to the general manager of The
Tribune, il means that the Federal OH
cial feels himself TO be in a close place.
Evidently he understood that his visitor
had some facts that would be extremely
damaging TO the United States Attor-
ney. The case under investigation is
one in which Mr.. Booth officially figures
in a way that is liable utterly TO dis
credit him before the public. The full
particulars of the case will presently APP
pear, and there can be no question but
that they will make a sensation IN Utah
official circles That the facts Will Inn
plicate Mr.. Booth may be reason Tor
his rage; but that very reason wall be
his condemnation in the public lndg-
ment.
There was no reason why Mr.. Booth,
even if guilty of completely IN the al
fair under investigation, should have so
far forgotten the official proprletles as
TO treat a visitor on official business
with the gross discourtesy and bullying
insoleuce that Mr. Booth displayed on
that occasion. Any man who is fit to
hold an official position should be able
to control himself, so far as his official
duties and obligations are concerned.
Mr.. Booth has a public Office which 1T
is the right Of the public to visit, and
anyone wishing TO lay before him any
case of law-breaking or to confer with
him on any matter pertaining to his
duties, has perfect right TO go there
and is entitled to decent treatment on
his visit, That Mr.. Booth does not lind
himself able To meet this requirement
is the worse for him.
1t is a case which is certain to bring
serious consequences to Mr.. Booth; and
while he may think that playing the
bully for the time. and assuming that
it is his personal Office, Will ward OIL the
impending calamity to him, the events
will show him what great mistake his
anger led him into in this display OF
bad manners and official discourtesy.
MIR. Booth may thlnk Inat ne Can ulS-
miss an unpleasant matter by an AFRO
CANT and lofty display Of ill nature and
bad breeding, but he will find that idea
to be n gross mistake.
In the meantime, Mr.. Booth has phi
loried himself rs IN official who is quite
willing to break all the rules of pro-
priety, courtesy, and official intercourse
as between man and man, in his anger
at being caught in snare Of his own
designing. He is not willing to listen to
plain statement of matters that should
be treated by him in his Official capa
city. He has therefore declared his own
incompetence to hold this ONCE, ana nc
should not be surprised if others higher
up take the same view of his action.

MISSIONARY SENSATIONAILSM

1t is a common dodge among weak
moraled and sensational missionaries
of the Mormon church, TO claim persc-
cution, ostIacism. boycott, etc. when
nothing of the kind has been expert
enced by them. We recall case Of
two Of such missionaries, who reported
persecution by the Chief Of Police of
st. Paul. Minnesota. The charge was so
peculiar that letter was written to
the chief, who reported that the men
were spotted cruising around town at
2 o'clock iu the morning, and were run
in as suspicious characters, Queer
persecution that! And that is the
sort of persecution the most of it is
for cause.
A report just received from Independ-
ence, Missouri, discloses another dodge
Of these dishonest gentry, The letter
is as follows;
