THE HONESTY OF THE
TRIBUNE.
THE

The man who continually proclaims
that he is honest is or has been dis
honest. The person who exclaims,
81 am no horse thief" usually has
his eye on your best steed The
darkey who shouts 81 am no chicken
thief usually has his neighbours fat
test chicken for dinner. The woman
who loudly brags of her extreme
virtue is usually frequenter of the
dive. The preacher who tells how
good he is in his Sunday sermon us
ually gratis or swindles during the
week, and the newspaper that comes
out in a long editorial explaining to
its readers how truthful it is and says
that it hires truthful reporters is us
ually the biggest liar in the state

torial in the Salt Lake Tribune, July

usual way, a part of the nights CLEAN

Fair, honest, truthful reports are en-
joined upon every one in The Trib-
une's employ, whether reporters or
correspondents; here is no such
thing as color or bias in reporting
facts, news, or conversations. The
only possible desire is to have them
written and printed precisely as they
occur. That is and always has been

in Atlantic City or May &c. The Free
Sons of Israel is one of the oldest
Jewish fraterlal orders in the United
State, having been founded in 1S49.
Since that time $4,000, 900 have been
distributed among the widows and or

cosuRN ON AL
FAIFA AND IT'S RAISING.

Probably the best known expert In
agricultural matters ia the United
States is F.. d. Coburn, of Kansas. He
is universally regarded as having
more expert knowledge on the scien
tifc part of farming than any other
man in a Aemrica today. In a recent
article on alfalfa. he said:
IF you have SO much as two acres
OF land and a COW, you need to raise
alfalfa. If YOU have more land and
live stock. our need for it is
all the greater, because it is the most
productive, nutritious n profitable
and no rival.
IF you have been persuaded that it
will not grow in your neighborhood
or u state, don't believe it; you
can't afford to accept any UGH die
tum. Try it faithfully for yourself
for ten year and reach your own
conclusions instead of taking those
of some one else secondhand. If it
fails the reflection is likely to be on
you rather than on the alfalfa.
There are really few soils or 10
c~alities in any agricultural region,
east or west, where alfalfa will not
prosper if decently treated Only
those who don't know alfalfa. are in
credulous about it. Those who know
it best are the one who swear by it
and plant more.
IF you have time or inclination to
put your ICED Deed in the finest posi-

fine on top, somewhat compacted-not

JUDGE FREEMAN ON
PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER.

The following is taken from a
charge to the jury given by Judge A.
A. Freeman, at Lincoln in 1898, which
we take from a recent issue of the
Albuquerque journal:
of all the occupations that men
pursue, the occupation of the profess
sional gambled is probably the only
n that has not a single redeeming
feature. The occupation of the gam
bier, however, contributes nothing to
the welfare of society. Nothing grows
under his touch; not a blade of grass.
nor a tree, nor a flower, yields its
beauty or its fragrance as a result of
his profession. The deadly Upas tree
sheds about it no more fatal poison
than the influence of the gambler ex-
erts. Not a dollar hat he earns is
honestly earned. When he has passed
his career the only truthful epitaph
that a be written on his tombstone
is that the world would have been
better if he had never been born.
The occupation is not only not an
honest one, but it is not a respectable
one. The law places the professional
gambler and the professional prosti-
tute in the same class, and it is as idle
to talk of a respectable gambler as of
a virtuous prostitute. These men are
vampires upon society; they are pests
and hindrances hat should be wiped
out by all lawful means. Society is
better off without them; they lure h
unwary from the path of rectitude;
they debauch your young men. They
are fostering sores upon the body po-
little.
They constitute a class more dan
gerous to society than a horde of
houseless, homeless tramps. l do not
mean to be misunderstood: l am Civ
ing you this charge precisely the es-
timation placed upon the profession
by the civilization of his age. The
legislature of this territory has more
than nee placed the professional
gambler in the same category with
tramps, prostitutes and pickpockets.
But When l speak of gamblers.

many highly respected gentlemen
who frequently indulge in the mere
pastime of gambling; and. as objec-
