The Church Organ
Unworthy Denials

Salt Lake Herald.
Editor tho Deseret Evening News:--
As young man interested in the well
fare of the community, [ write you,
with apologies, in regard to the leading
editorial In last evenings (Thursday -
lssue; wish to state frankly that l
think the statements made and therein
contained unworthy Of the organ OF
this great church. Fairness encourages
fairness in the other party. but it's OPP
posltc breeds hate and unfairncss.
Since we know that there was con
certed action OF church authorities
within Salt Lnke county to influence
their people to down the party Of eS-
tremes, we feel chagriDed to find the
News denying the whole matter on the
ground that no effort was made ito
against another. And, furthermore,
we are proud to state that there was
this concerted action. Mormon people
are neither mules nor fools. They. had
ell the reason in the world for uniting
against such merciless onslaught as
was made by certain few "Anerlcan -
party leaders and by their organ.
My bishop came TO me and said that
as my bishop he would like me TO vote
the ticket most likely to win over the
' American party. He explained the
meetings held by the priesthood, and
that members Of all and Of no parties
had unanimously spoken and agreed TO
unite, and TO ask the saints to unite
1t was agreed to speak openly, and to
let the saints know from the pulpit in
Sunday meetings and In regular priest
hood meetings these sentiments. This,
told him, was fair and square and in
the open, manly and fully justified by
conditions. He said this programme
was for this election only, and was to
be understood as an unusual procedure.
This same instruction was gwen also
in fast meeting the Sunday before cleo
ton.
So he and we got out and worked
under this enthusiasm The leaders of
the party of abuse had gone too far,
Even " American party voters told MS
our course was fully justified on ac.
count of fool utterances made.
But, Mr.. Editor, let s not deny the
condition, even though certain phases
seem to offer a way out. We don Z
want 1t denied, And why should wet
We want it recognized. Let it be
recognized as an unusual procedure,
brought about by unusual extremes,
and so justified, and only so justified; /;
as one not to be adopted AS proper pro-
cedure under normal circumstances
other people. sleeping, but not dead,
will rise in majesty to meet your own.
When l read The Tribuue's comment
on your editorial ! could only feel sorry
for the ground they have for resent
ment; The spirit in the Herald s edi-
toTlal this morning prompted this let
ter. Ever your well wisher.

TO THE AMERICAN PARTY

Fear not. nor falter.
o hearts strong and true.
But march steadily on
Meath the red. white and blue
More lips than you dream OF
Are praying for you.
Ger our fair state is creeping
A hierarch's trail.
Defenders and heroes
We bid you "all hail.
The brave Will stand by you.
Though towards may fail
Shall the glorious birthright
Our dead fathers won.
Be sold to the hlerarch
For his pleasures and fun;
And their labor OF love
Be forever undone?
Ay, never--no, never,
We hear you reply.
While the shout OF the people
Goes UP to the sky,
For the freedom once won
We Will livel We will die,
No room for the hlerarch
OF plurals and sin
With his evil wiles creeping
Our pure homes within.
The battle is now on;
Tho PATRIOTS shall win!
Az, the battle Is on,
To the front bring our flag
Shall IL droop in the sight
OF the hierarch's pack?
Or ever in the dust
Shall Its proud splendor drag?
True men, wives and mothers
Are praying for you:
That your arms may be nerVcd
For the deeds YOU must do
That your hearts may be strong,
Meath the red, white and blue.

INA sweeping decision making per-
m ,nent the injun ,liOn granted last Au'
gust, Judge Thomas G. Jones, OF the
federal court of Alabama, on Saturday
declared that acts which seek to prevent
railroads from appealing to federal courts
from State laws are unconstitutional
The decision also suspends most of the
anti-railrosd acts passed by the last State
legislature, pending inquiry of the COM
plants of the railroads that they are con-
fiscstory. Judge Jones declares that
ths question of State rights is not in
volyed in the issue. "Life would be ill.,
toIerable," he says, "in any government
claiming to be at sill free wherein the
citiz,n had no redress against wrongs
d me by officials in the name of the
Safe" The federal constitution, it is
held, gives the federal courts express
right to pass on such questions. Judge
Jones's opinion, it is said, WAS written
and in the hands of the printer when the
Supreme Court of the United States rem
dered its opinion in the Minnesota case,
which was similar to that in this State.
Ia all essential details Judge JOnes's
opinion lie similar to that rendered by
Justice Peckham.

MONDAY EVENING. MAR. 80. 1903.
As mAs .taled 10 lhe Gszstte, former

As WAS stated 10 the Gazette, former
Attorney General Buckley Wells, Of
Colorado, narrowly escaped death last
Saturday morning by being hurled from
his bed By the explosion OF bomb
which partially wrecked bis home at
Telluride. Mr. Wells is general mana
ger of the Smuggler mineO, and Is recog-
pized as a foe to The Western Federation
of Miners. Mr.. Wells took leading
part in the suppression of labor troubles
in Colorado in 19O4-05, and was prom'-
nently identified with the recent prose-
cution of Haywood and Petiibone, Of
fcers of the Western Federation OF
Miners, on the charge Of completely in
the assassination of former Governor
Frank Sieunenberg. he had been active
aI.o ir getting the extrsdition from
Idaho of Steve Adams, who will be
tried on charges OF mufder 10 cou'
nection with the miners strike in 1904.
While dispatches telling of this outrage
we're being received in newspaper offices
in the country red hsg WIS hutterlpg
in Uuion Square, New York. Later 8
bomb, intended for squad of policemen,
exploded 10 the hands of an asssssiD,
terribly iDjuriDg him and killing his
companion. The police had broken up
a meeting of 10000 unemployed and
8 liz silveIs.ein had provided himself
with bomb in order to wresk vengeance
upon the conservstois Of the peace. The
assassin and his companion fell, the lat
ter dead, with his breast torn out. Inc
bonb.thrower still lives, but his right
hand hsd been shot Of, both OF his eyes
we're gouged out, and bis skull and
shoulder we're fractured. 1t looks al
though violence VIZ about to fill the
earth as in the days before the flood.

On the same DAY hat P,esidtnt b),e
Vslt recommended the repeal of the duty
Oh wood pulp as means of putting some
practical push into the campaign for
forest preservation, Chairman Payne,
of the ssys and means committee, de-
clsred there would be no modelling with
tariff rates until after The presidential
election. Here IS situation of difficulty
bat Mr.. Payne seems to have the whip
hand. The President can only plead for
repeal If the Congress will not heed
his appeal there is no remedy except at
the hands Of another Congress.
