LExANrzR A. ROBERTSON.

The tragic death of Alexander A
.abertsOn yesterday morning, the re-
II Of a self-inficted bullet wound
With intent to kill himself. was a shock
Z" the entire community, but more es-
pecially to those who knew something
Of the brave struggle Mr.. Robertson
had been making TO wipe away the one
blot in his past and to become again a
man among men. Here was man who
lad committed a crime. Occupying
position of trust, he took money that
did not belong TO him. 1t is an open
secret that Robertson derived no per-
sonal proft from that offense. The
money went into the pockets of profess
sional gamblers who must have known
he was losing more than he could afford
to lose. and who. nevertheless. missed
no opportunity TO induce him to con-
tinue losing. The gamblers went free
They are still free.
Robertson made d manly confession
and accepted the penalty melted out to
him by the law. He had served but
part of his prison term when he brave
~ aided the penitentiary officials in
suppressing a desperate attempt on the
part of some fellow convicts to escape
In recognition of this, a pardon was
issued to him. Emerging from the
grim walls behind which he had worn
The badge of dishOnOr, Robertson an
nounced his intention to settle in Salt
Lake and once more establish himself
in the esteem of the community He
was urged TO go to some distant point,
but his answer was:
The world is not wide enough for
me to find a hiding place. l might go
to some far distant city. or to some lit
tie place in one of the uttermost cor
ners Of the earth and there build up q
business. And. after | had won my
place, perhaps after many years had
passed, somebody with a heart of stone
would come along, proclaim me an ex-
convict and tear down in a moment the
structure that cost me years of effort"
And the man stayed here. where his
disgrace was best known. here. where
he had the most friends and the most
enemies. And if ever a man lived hon.
estly and walked uprightly before all
men. that man was Alex Robertson
during the period between his release
from prison and the moment when he
sent a bullet through his brain yester-
day morning. The struggle was heart
breaking one. Those who did not know
Robertson well can never know how
hard it was, how stUrdily he battled
against his frightfui handicap. And al
ways when he seemed to be winning.
the tongue of malice shot out from en-
venomed lips to sting him to defeat.
So at last he gave it up. II is easy
for men who have never been tried as he
was tried TO say he should have kept on
fighting. To them we may express the
wish that they will never be situated
as this man was situated. God only
knows in what port his troubled soul
has found a haven, but we hope that il
has found sweet, embarrassed rest.

PAPER TRUST AND LABOR.

Newspaper publishers find the hear
ings of the Mann congressional COM
mittee mighty interesting reading these
days, because it is evolving Information
that sheds a good deal of light on the
operations Of the paper trust. All of
them have known that the trust has
boosted prices clear out of sight on very
short notice. and with no assigned rea-
son except that the trust needed the
money; but they didn't know how much
of a margin of profit the robbery left
for the robbers, or how easy it had been
to vietimize the whole publishing inter
ests with the aid of the tariff.
For instance. the trust mills have
claimed that they needed duty for the
benefit of American labor The figures
furnished the Mann committee, taken
from the official records of the bureau
of manufacture. show just how much
benefit" the trust has given it's en-
ployes as a result of the tariff. Paper
mill workers in New York state, where
large proportion Of the news paper is
made. averaged $1O.94 a week in wages;
and this does not take into account wO-
men or minor employees. In Massachu-
sets, including children, employees av-
eraged 1920 a week.
No wonder the paper trust had TO
raise prices on paper enormously in or
der to meet the exorbitant wages il
was compelled to pay its labor; no won
der it insists On a tariff that will en-
able it to provide so generously for the
comfort and welfare of the men and
children it uses in its business.
Now compare the paper manufacture
ing business and the printing and bind
ing business which is injured by the
monopoly. Official figures show that
the printers and binders of the country
the consumers of paper-pay IS per
cent higher wages than does the paper
trust; they employ much larger num-
Der of workers, ranking sixth in the
nations important industries and YET
they have no protection from the tariff
and are getting none from the congress
to which they have appealed for relief
from the exactions of the trust.
Accurate figures show that news
paper can be made for about $40 a ton;
the trust is charging from $43 to $50 a
ton and higher for its product. When
an infant industry reaches the point
where it can make from 100 to $50 per
cent, can pay dividends on enormously
diluted securities. can suppress cOmpe-
tition by predatory methods, is superior
TO the courts and to the common law OF
competition, the publishers have a right
to demand the removal of the tariff on
paper and the wood pulp of which
paper is made
Congressman Mann's committee,
which was appointed by Speaker Can
non to prevent any action on the tariff
question affecting paper at this session,
has done its best to carry out the pur-
pose for which 1t was named. If the
speaker and the stand-patters have
their way, the trust will go ahead Sc
renely in its own appointed path. But
ton of knowing that they have turned
the light on the trusts methods, and
that the approaching congressional cleo
ton promises to compel action in the
near future that will repay them fol
their trouble.

SUMMARY
Baseball Notes

Houston's error in the first inning was the
only one charged up against the Oaks while
the boot that Captain Mohler made later on
prevented the Seals from having a perfect
Fielding record for the day.
Slivers Henley came in to bat for skillman
in the eighth inning and lined peach at
Miller. 1t looked safe, but the Oakland in
helder made great stop and a perfect wing
OF 1t and thereby prevented rally.
Manager Dan Long was evidently afraid that

very nicely. letting them down with one Texas
Lacquer from the bat of Loucks. The bali

latest victim of the mumps. He was sud-
denly stricken yesterday and Miller although
stiH ill with lumbago, was sent in to look
after the job. For sick man Miller sure was
there. He tore into everything that came his
way and gave startling exhibition of how to
wing the ball over to first after seooping it up.
Ivan Haltren should get hold of all those
fellows and inocuate them with that lumbago
stuff mused Pete, Grant from front seat
after Miller laced out his second two bagger
for the day. That fellow never clouted the
ball so hard in his life. Lumbago is grand
thing If it acts on ball players that way. An
epidemic of it might help the Seals along. .
