CAUGHT AGAIN.

Charles Smurlhwaite says nc never
owned a salt farm and, therefore,
could not have offered one TO the
church leaders.
We have before us page PAS OF vol
umc Of the proceedings OF the Reed
Smoot investigation and we find that
Charles Smurthwalte testified under
oath.
81 bought 10000 shares OF stock"
in the Beck Salt Co.
On page rs. same volume. he says;
Il bought 20 per cent of the stock
of the Beck Salt Co
On page 2i6, he says the whole
Beck Salt Co. outfit had paid only
$4,000 for It's plant,
On page 20. Smurthwaitc said that
Joseph F. Smith said he would ruin
him (Smurthwaite).
Smurthwaite was called 10 Wash
ington as an example of a man the
church had ruined commercially,
On page 257, Senator Knox forced
Smurthwaite TO admit that the Beck
Salt company sold part OF the prop
erty that cost $4,000 for S5i,50O and
had the salt plant left
Senator Knox said TO Smurthwaite,
you did pretty woll in the end,
did you not?"
Smurthwaitc replied, Yes. sir; we
did all right in the end. fortunate
ly"
So. I'm accusing Mr. Smurthwalte
Of owning the salt farm we were
wrong, for he only owned 10000
shares, or 20 per cent, or one-ilfth OF
the Beck Salt plant, which Smurth-
waite called a garden" instead of a
farm
So 1t will be seen that Brewers
chief mudslinger, Smurthwaite. either
swore falsely at Washington OF he
told an untruth when he says he never
owned any salt farm or any interest
therein.

POLITICAL elUNOGR.

To the impetuosity OF youth may be
charged a grave political blunder that
now threatens to shake the very
throne of Spain. An older and wiser
monarch would not have caused the
execution of Professor Francisco
Ferrer at this time. but Alfonso con
sidercd the socialist a traitor and
treated him accordingly AT this
distance, says the Butte Intermoun-
tain. it Is difticule 10 Judge to what
extent Ferrer was guilty of the crimes
charged II he taught sedltion. If as
claimed he was an awoved reyolu
Zionist and lent aid and comfort 10 the
enemies of his country. he was guilty
OF treason and under the law of ma
tions his life was forfeited to the
state. However that may be. Alfonso
chose the wrong time 70 execute the

a large class OF loyal citizens as well
as those not friendly to the govern
