PROMPT Lemon.

Some years ago there was in a west
ern town Judge whose ideas of the
majesty Of the law at the time Of his
accession to Office were unbounded,
and his sense of his own Importance
as the representative of justice was
also great At one time two persons
quarreled in the judges presence. One
man struck the other, and the Judge
Immediately ordered his arrest on q
charge of assault and battery. 4
On the d2y Of the trial the defend.
ant pleaded not guilty.
Instantly the Judge, who was short
stout man, was on bis feet, crimson
faced and putting with ipdignatioh.
"What do you meanY he demanded

what do you mean by saying that

TRUTH
T R u T H S

The american gathering at the
Theatre on Thursday evening was
fiasco. True the theatre was crowded
to its capacity, but at least third OF
those present were not in sympathy
with the object and spirit of the
meeting There were frequent inter
ruptions of the speakers and decided
dissent from the views presented. The
whole thing was ludicrous. The spec
tacle of lot of by 4 politicians,
religious fanatics and grafters, roast
ing the president of the United States
and the big brainy honest men of the
Senate like Knox, Foraker, Dilling
ham and Others, was a spectacle more
for hilarity than serious consdera-
ton. The burden of the speeches OF
the three orators, Messrs. Weber,
Sanford and Cannon, was that the
senate had rendered corrupt judg
ment in the case OF Senator Smoot
and that the protestants would con-
tinue the agitation against Utah and
her people. The arguments of the
speakers were based on false premises
which had no foundation in fact The
rally or whatever it might be called
was failure and served only to show
the weakness and absurdty of the
cause they represent. The abuse of
President Roosevelt and the insults
offered him by the speakers did not
meet with the approval of the au-
diencc.

THE SHEETS CASE

case against Chief of Police Sheets,
charged with conspiring with a gang
of thieves and bunco steerers to rob
tourists and strangers unacquainted
with the customs OF the country
was concluded Friday afternoon and
taken under advisemcnt by Judge
Whitaker. The star witness against
Sheets was Parent one of the gang
who confessed his guilt and turned
states evidence and gave away the
whole snap. PARENT testimony was
most damaging to Sheets and other
members of the police force, and the
defence failed to refute it, In fact
Parents testimony, making due al
lowance for the fact that he is a self
confessed crook and a co-conspirator
was almost as damaging to the de-
PENDANT as the statement by the chief
of police himself few months ago
when the charges were first made
against him. just after the McWhirtcr
brothers had been robbed of $4,000.
The testimony of PARENT standing
by itself would not be worthy Of
much evidence, but it was highly
corroborativc of facts and circum-
stances previously brought to light
and testified to by the McWhrters
and other reputable witnesses The
defense based its hopes on an at
tempt to prove an alibi contending
that Chief Sheets was in Idaho on a
certain date that Parent testified that
the chief was in Salt Lake, and
standing in with the thieves and
receiving share of the money stolen
from the victims. Whether Sheets
was here on that date or not, was
not vital at all as there were plenty
of other circumstances relied upon
by the prosecution to show that the
police department and the bunco men
had a per ..t understanding between
thcmselve
Chief Sheets did not testify i'll his
own behalf That fact from a strict
ly legal stand point should not be
counted against him, but from the
view point of the ordinary layman,
it put the chief in bad light. The
court has the case under advisement
as to whether or not there is prob
able cause for holding him for trial,
and in the meantime we don't care
to express any opinion upon it further
than what we have already said that
Sheets is either guilty of the crime
laid to his charge or he is more of a
sucker than the rank suckers that
were taken in by the bunco men.

Salt Lake at this time,
The failure of the Galveston bill
increases the chances of the passage
of the proposed measure to take the
police and fire department out of poll
tics and their management away from
the mayor and city council. Some
drastic measure is needed to relieve
Salt Lake from the utterly corrupt
and incompetent administration it is
scourged with at present.
Samuel Newhouse has added to his
already numerous bcncfactions to this
city by his gift of whatever amount
Of money may be needed for the cree.
ton and operating of a home for
fricndless women and girls. Mr.
Newhouse is one of the most public
spirited and generous men that any
community can boast of. The great
beauty of his gifts is that he makes
them without Interior motive or hope
of reward, political or otherwise.
The bill before the legislature to
permit railroad companies to own and
operate coal mines, acquire water
rights and do and perform thousand
and one other things such as building
harbors and piers and chartering and
operating steamships and other inn
possible things in the state of Utah,
is creating heated discussions not on
ly by the legislators but among the
general public. The bill as submitted
confers great powers on the rail
roads. 1t is the matter of coal that
is most important to the people of
Utah in general, and salt Lake i'll par
ticular. 1t seems, however, they are at
present exercising those powers on
sufferance or otherwise. The rail-
roads practically own and operate
the coal mines now, but they are be-
lievcd to be doing SO contrary to the
law of the state The proposed bill
would do little more than legaliZe
what is being done now. There is a
most serious aspect to the question.
Suppose the law was invoked against
the railroad companies and the mines
were closed, what would become OF
the people. There are no other coal
mines in the state that have been
opened up and practically none of
the embryo mines are anywhere
near a railroad. 1t would take years
to open new mines and still longer
to build railroads to carry the coal to
the cities and towns. 1t is a most
serious problem and it is almost a
certainty that next winter we shall
have a coal famine much more severe
than that of the past winter.

by the same board, that is if the
people of the state by their votes next
year will adopt the amendment to the
state constitution necessary to make
