UNVARNISHED FACTS. In the rose leaf time of life he met
 A most bewitching girl I Who taught him dreams of kisses yet
 To come, his heart awhirl. He hung upon her fathers gate
 He burned her fathers gas And fingered there till very late,
 Far gone in love, alas! For something like two years he wooed
 As young men always do, When life has barely been construed
 And everything is new. And then events contrived to part
 The so enraptured twain, Altho' they promised, heart to heart,
 That they would meet again. The years rolled on, the girl became
 The wife of one who made Her life commonplace and tame
 She soon began to fade. Her whilom lover also wed
 And settled down to be A galley slave but poorly fed
 By his affinity. Oh, pshaw! We started out to sing A song of sweet romance, But truth is such a rigid thing
 We didn't have a chance!

A DAMNING DEFENSE.

If the Salt Lake Apologist for Chief
Sheets had grudge against that wide
" known official, and had decided to
undo him, it could have devised no
worse defense for him, than that which
II has offered since the last arrest was
made. If there is such a thing az u
damnlng apology. Chief Sheets is the
victim of It, He has cause to pray 10
be saved from his friends, first.
In the first place 1t was bad policy TO
try Sheets in the columns Of a news
paper, before the evidence was all prop
erly sifted An innocent man can afford
TO await the result of an impartial hear
ing. When the defense takes the form
OF an effort to influence public opinion
beforehand and to obtain verdict
accordingly, no matter what the facts
may be. the suspicion viii be confirmed
that the accused is guilty and must rely
on tricks for an acquittal
In the second place, the defense Of
fered is so absurd as to amount to an
accusation itself, The Apologist charg-
es tina; the "hierarchy"--a creation of
its own deITious lmaginatiOn-has con-
cocted the whole case In order TO get
rid Of Sheets Is there no other de-
Tense for Sheets? Is the fertile imag
nation OF the friends of that official
unable to invent anything better calcu-
lated to furnish him much needed
shield? II NO. his case must be hopeless
indeed why not say that the charges
nc iute 4, Ia NJ
to the evaporation from the Salton sea?
That would be idiotic. Certainly But
not more so, than the allegation that
ithe bunco steerers and gamblers
have consplred with hierarchy
that does not exist. for the undoing OF
sheets, because OF his zeal in the sup
preston of crime. Silence would nave
been more serviceable To the Chief
titan such idlotic attempts at lying.
When the McWhlrter case first came
up, we expressed the hope. for the
reputation of this city, that Mr.. Sheets
would be able to prove that he had no
connection with it, This was not prov
ed. But an honest judge 10 quote
the Apologist. declared that the said
connection had not been shown. We
accepted that verdict and refrained
from further comment. We hoped
the Chief had learned a lesson for
the benefit OF public morality, And
that was very much needed. II Is a
notorious fact that under the admins
istration of Sheets, the city has Allied
up with dens OF Iniquity Of various
descriptions. while Sunday saloons and
sunday theaters flourish in spite OF
law 1t is a fact that report has IL
that policemen hardly know which
offender to arrest, and which to let
alone, owing to the system OF pro-
lection of w-brealzlng that prevails,
III view of known facts, no one will
be surprised 20 learn OF more law
breaking, especially when the Apollo
gst OF the breaking element UNI
dertakes the defense.

QUESTION OF illrgotter gains. II Is light
~ and lovingly referred to and cultivat-
ed by booders and other recipients OF
its benefits. In that class are the on
oials, gamblers and buuco sharps who
participated In the ''prohts" OF the
game in which the two scOtchrnen
We're feered. And OF this kind OF hui
man vermin 1t is the duty Of Salt Lake
to free itself without unnecessary delay
whItewash won't KIN IT, That has been
tried. IL ;hrlves under a kalsomine
coating as disease bncterIa In nlth, a
more drastic remedy must be applied.
The time to apply It Is now. The future
is too far away. Protected knavery
must be given TO understand that 1t
has had it's day IN this city, II II con-
tinues to live II must be elsewhere. The
newspapers that mourn the outcome Of
the SmOot case, and are trying to put
the lid on the Sheets case. are among
those who are Fronting by the graft
system in this city which pernea cs the
entire administration The extent to
which II has obtained IN the police de-
partment, no one but the coppers know,
and they won't tell How much money
1t has swallowed up in contract work
and other Jobs can't even be approNi-
mated But that the sum IL very great
there is no doubt. Everywhere in the
service the idea Is rampant that 1t
pays to be q CRATER and with the graft
ers stand The vital question now is,
how long Will the public stand" II?
