Elder Roberts. in his address at the
Tabernacle on Sunday afternoon, said
that there might be a peace more un-

possible that those whose standpoint is
for right, for an equality before the
law, for the emancipation of civil and
temporal affairs from ecclesiastical con
troll, should give way to those who ad-
dominate Utah 10 the scorn Of all civ
IlIZation.
The peace that is desirable in Utah
IS an honorable peace. in accord with
equal justice to all, and with American
liberty. And when Elder Roberts
pointed out that righteousness and JUS
ticc even if they involve war. are TO
be preferred to a peace where unrieht-
eousncss and injustice prevail. he spoke
words of wisdom and of thoughtful
force. So far as Utah is concerned
peace can be had at any day that the
ruling hierarchy will permit All that
is necessary TO insure peace. is that
lawlcss living be given up, that the
paralyzlng of the courts in behalf OF
criminals must cease, that the "dead
hand of Islam be raised from Utah.

Utah ceases to have church that

reign Of peace will then have already

GRAFT FOR PARTY SAKE,

In considering the case of County
Attorney Lyon, the Smoot "Mouthr
yesterday made the direct contention in
lis editorial columns, that graft is

suit to compel the County Commissions

something near $4,000, which was unlaw.
fully taken therefrom to support "the
official organ of the party This was
done by party officials for partisan
purposes and as party measure, the
idea being to give public pap to the
party organ TO sustain its life
The grating politicians Of that party
are firmly opposed to Mr.. Lyon because
he takes this course, and the "Moufh',
voices the wrath of the party bosses
and of the "machine' at Mr.. Lvon,
1t gives, further, the flat notice that it
docs not believe that any man can
afford TO betray the party which hon
ored him, the people who elected him,
the community which supports him. -
To be sure, tho "Mouthn pro.
ceeded to claim. with its usual falsitv.
that this betrayal was in support of
Belle London and other sources, but il
is well known, of course. that the rage
Of the " Mouth was inspired simply be.
cause Mr.. Lyon caught the partisan
grafters and is suing them TO compel
restitution of the money they stole.
But to put it in the light that this
graft and theft was a party measure,
and that no man can afford TO betray
the party that elected him, even if of
flccrs Of that party engage in stealing.
makes the case scandalously plain to the
public.
Mr.. Lyon, in suing the County Com
missioners for restitution of money H.
legally and immorally taken from the
county treasury, not only without war

defiance of law, is doing precisely what
