THE LAWLESs SHRIEVALTY.

The public of this city is being treat,
ed to an even moro scandalous exhi-
bition of official lawlossness than it
has been used TO in the career Of the
lawless county officials who have been
operating to the grievous affection and
injury of this county for two or three
years past. These officials have used
robbers, boldups, and all grades of
criminals for the purpose Of carrying
through their political jobs and of
achieving political ends, all this utterly
regardless of law and in violation of
common decency. So that in a way
the public has become callous to the
conduct Of these officials. The present
scandal arises out Of the trial Of Maer'
ovich for murder. In tho course Of the
testimony it was developed, from the
admission Of the witness himself, that
Deputy Sheriff Forbes, at Bingham, is
half owner in q saloon and gambling
house in active operation at that place.
This made tho deputy sheriff law
breaker and necessarily protector of
law breakers, if not an active inducer
of others to break the law by gambling
in bis place.
The Sheriff must have known Of this
lawless business of this deputy, and
yet be continued him in Office. He con-
tinues him in office now, after the
deputy has been exposed in his law
defying course.
The District Attorney, in place OF
fulfilling his duty under the law by
Immediately proceeding against this
law-defying deputy, appears to be using
every means at his command to pro-
tect that deputy, TO shield him in his
law-breaking and to minimize bis Of
fense.
In so protecting this deputy in this,
both the Sheriff and the District Attor.
ney are themselves violators Of the
law. They are required under the law
to bring such an offender as this be-
fore the court and show his offense
and to ask that the proper penalty be
visited upon him. They are doing pre-
ci5ely the reverse of this, however,
both apparently being determined to
protect Deputy Forbes from the penalty
which the law provides for his offense.
It is degrading spectacle to the
public of this city and county to SEQ
what is going on. And yet it is but
little moro degrading than similar oc-
currences that have been exposed with
respect to these officers from time to
time in the past two years-

THE SHOOTING OF MR.. HENEY.

The shooting Of Mr.. Heney in San
Francisco is one OF the shocking things
of the time. Mr.. Heney had made him
self conspicuous on the coast, both
north and south, in the prosecution Of
offenders against the law-such offend
ers as other prosecutors did not seem
able to reach. It was natural that the
prosecutions he conducted should draw
upon him the rage OF the criminals and
their friends. II is natural that in the
effective work he did great many peo
pie would feel themselves aggrieved.
And yet it was clearly his duty
to proceed without regard to con-
sequences, and it was the duty Of
the courts to sustain him in his
rights as a prosecutor and to protect
him in the safety Of his person.
That it was possible to shoot down
man like this in the open courtroom
would, at first glance, seem to be an
impeachment Of the power Of the court.
But Mr.. Heney had a personal guard
and attendant, and he appears to have
been taken at a moment when the
guardianship of his person was relaxed,
although he was surrounded by friends.
It was q most lamentable occurrence
throughout, and the public, while vent
ing its indignation against the assas-
sin. will deeply rejoice that the wound
inflicted was not fatal, and that Mr..
Heney has such apparently certain
prospects to recover from his wound.

Roosevelt execrating the villainous deed.
scoring its perpetrator, and calling for
the continuance of the vigorous prosecu-
tion of the criminals, is a case where
strong language exactly fits the crime.

Fiction or loss. And they have been
very largely successful in convincing
superstitious members of the church
that the thing was true, for they have
let no opportunity slip to secretly
persecute the recalcitrant one, and to
hound him with ali sorts Of malignant
gossip concerning some mysterious evil
that had cropt into his former life, the
results of which were cropping ont in
his disobedience. In many cases this
devilish pursuit has resulted in The
breaking down of strong men, while
those OF weaker mind have fallen easy
prey to its villainous effects, But the
great blasphemy in it all is that Smith,
the chief Of the priestly bandits, poses
as "thc mouthpiece of God;" refusal tr

FIVE GOOD ROADS BILLS.

a State convention of workers for
good roads is to be called to meet in
this city on January l4th. The conven.
ton will probably last three days, and
the results of its work cannot fail to
be good, provided the movement is not
killed, as similar movement was killed
some four years ago by Apostle Smoot
for political purposes, he taking the ri
diculous step of pushing "Fussy" Jim
mic Anderson TO the front as the presi-
dent Of the Good Roads Association.
With the good roads movement in the
hands Of It's friends, acting for good
roads purposes and not for politics,
there is no reason why Utah should not
receive immense, immediate, and perma. q.
nent benefit through the movement.
Mr.. D. r. Roberts, of Cache county,
comes to the front conspicuously as the
friend of good roads. He has prepared
five bills for introduction into the
coming Legislature. One Of these es-
tablishes standard system OF construc-
tion for public roads; another defines
the duties and powers of county COM
missioners as TO highways, highway
management, and highway taxes; an
other requires that after the year 1915,
wagon wheels must all have broad tires;
another provides for the use Of convict
labor on county highways; and another
provides assessment for damage to high.
ways by flooding with irrigation or other
waters and fixing the responsibility for
such damage.
IL considering, on Thursday last, IA
vorably, the good roads proposition, we
suggested that probably effective leeis-
lative enactment could be better had
by consolidating the legislation into one
bill. We are still Of that opinion. BY
consolidating tho good roads statute,
putting all into one measure, there is
less likelihood of conflicting clauses and
n greater assurance Of harmony and ef-
fectiveness than by distributing the
legislation into a number Of separate
bills; and besides, when the proposals
are scattered, some may pass and others
fall thus disarrangiug the scheme.
Perhaps it might not be out of place
to speak friendly word here in favor
of the good roads movement on the line
Of caution against too much enthusiasm
and too sudden and lavish plans for the
expenditure of money. 1t ought not to
be taken as in the least unfriendly, but
rather in q friendly spirit to the good
roads movement, to say that plans for
the expenditure Of money by the mil
lions Oh good roads might appropriately
be deferred until we have had little
practical experience in the construction
Of good roads, ascertaining the best

A RULE OF ROBBERY.

You say that she has never broken q
rule of the church. You forget that In
this case she has done so by falling to
abide by the decision OF the mouthpiece
of God.-Letter OF Stake President VIM,
II. Seegm!ller 10 Mrs. Mary Birdsall. Feb
ruary 4, 1904.
This was an instance in which Joseph
+. Smith had assisted in the robbery of
Miss Cora Birdsall by one of the
Melchsedeks in the southern part of the
State. Her property was taken away
from her, and the result was that the
distress she felt over the matter par
TALLY unbalanced tine young woman S
mind. And it was this condition that
President Seegmiller undertook to ac.
count for in her refusal to submit TO the
robbery. finally settled upon by the de-
cision of "the mouthpiece OF God. -
The case was first heard by the bishop
ric of Monroe ward. then appealed to
the high council of the Sewer stake, and
afterwards carried up to Joseph F.,
Smith. Not only did that individual
confirm the priestly determination to
rob the poor young woman, but he over
rode the civil courts and all fairness in
making his wicked decision.

priesthood that any member of the
church who disobeys the "servants of
the Lord " shall be visited with some af.

WHY ENDORSE THEM2

On Friday morning, The Tribune di.
rected attention TO the lack of entire
candor and good faith on the part of
the Board of Education in this city,
as regards the pay of the grade teach
ers in the public schools. Tho Legis-
lature Of 1907 allowed the Board to
impose an additional mill of taxation
il this city. The distinct understand
ing was that the $4,000 (approxi-
mately) which would be derived from
this added taxation was to 20 to the
grade teachers, meaning an increase to
each of them of something like fifteen
dollars a mouth. The grade teachers
had represented to the board that their
pay was insufficient; the board replied
that it would be glad to increase that
pay as desired, If it had the money,
but it didn Z have it. Thereupon the
teachers set about working up public
sentiment in favor Of getting the board
the needed money, under the Implied
promise that they would get that in
creased money. Committees OF the
teachers waited upon many leading
cities and bodies, and got their endorse
ments of the additional tax, with the
distinct and clearly expressed stipula'
tion that the revenue so supplied should
90 to the increase of the too meager
pay of the grade teachers. But the
board, on getting the increased tax
rate, failed to do what was expected.
On the contrary, it increased the pay OF
its superintendent and its clerk TO
fancy figures, and gave the grade
teachers a mere-a pitiful-fractlon OF
the increase that was provided only
through the organized effort of those
grade teachers. Within few days
past, the board, on attention beng
called TO the injustice and bad faith
involved in this treatment it had given
to the grade teachers, met and did
little to repair this wrong; but that
wrong is by no means righted yet.
That our criticism of the board has
been approved by the public, is seen
in part by personal commentator of
our position and by written approval,
of which the following is a sample:
Salt Lake City. Nov. II, 1908,
Editor Trlbune:-Atter the people

tax was intended to beneht, whose sal

peteut principals and supervisors, and
and allow the superintendent increased
office assistants and a princely salary
such as no other superintendent, IN a
city OF like size. enjoys?
Such being the case. why should the
people again indorse the present Board
OF Education? a TAAPA4 Elk.
So far as the above relates to the
grade teachers, it is in accord with
our own expressions, and with the facts.
But we have made no claim that there
are incompetent principals OF super
visors IN the employ OF the board. Ii
any responsible citizen thinks there are,
it is his bounden duty to call the at
tention Of the board to his claim, and
to present his proofs.
