In the affected name of fairness and

be most unfair and indecent in it's
treatment of the report OF the Smoot
remark at the launching OF tho Utah
Wherever that organ can pick up a
newspaper or hears anything said in

tanned by our correspondent from that
paper. and vet the News has nothing 10
say about the Washington Post. 1t is
always a Tribune fake. a Tribune lie,
and The Tribune is dragged in for
abuse and misrepresentation on account
of it. As matter Of fact, there is no
reason why such a report should have
arisen if it had not been true and we
still believe that it was true,

GRAFTERS PLEAD POLITICS.

ant to their trust. IT is natural how
ever, on the exposure Of their recreancy
that they should promptly join the anti
administration forces and claim that
there is anti Roosevelt politics behind
their downfall. This. as we say, is
natural and was TO have been expected.
1t is the inevitable refuge of the Grim.

or some sort of persecution in his case.
Discovery always means misfortune TO
the discovered. President Taft will un-
doubtedlv be denounced by overzealous
friends Of the Roosevelt and Pinchot
variety for the interfering with the
working of the indians by the
Roosevelt appointees.
1t is unfortunate that this makes the
question of grating question of poll
tics, but under the circumstances, it is
exactly what must be expected, and
what cannot be escaped. Criminals
will naturally invoke protection for
themselves through political influence; ;
but In court, politics is no defense. In
the meantime, the public will view with
lively interest the Developments in the
case, and will behold with delight the
punishment of any alleged criminals
that NAV be found to be guilty.

He brooded over his downfall. nor was
this the flrst time he blamed Hamilton for

TABERNACLE DISCoURSEs

There were two more or less notable

noon-Apostlcs David O. Mckay and
Anthony W. Twins. While these gentle
men are comparatively young in thc
quorum of apostles, the first is regarded
as possessing mind of somewhat fine
texture. and the second is looked upon as

The utteranec of either in his respective
and special sphere usually commands
some attention, as neither is of the
old type of hierarchial ranter Of stri-
dent tone and reckless tongue.
with respect TO one matter treated
by Apostle Mckay, we find him report
cd as follows in the local morning or.
gan of the church hierarchy (although
our own report contains precisely the
same matter in effect, we quote a church
publicist so as not to be accused of

As pertaining TO the moral indena-

authority to quote, and an incident in
Mormon community life to relate, which
are particularly pertinent,
AT the sixty-cighth annual confer

Latter-day Saints, held in the taber-

He made extended reference to those
whom he ssrcastically dubbed "pious

sUMED NEXT MONDAY MORN

Santa Rosa, Calf, Dec. 10.-Al-
though there was no session of the
Burke trial today, both the prosecu-
ton and the defense were far from
idle. District Attorney Lea spent
the greater part of the dry at his OF.
flee examining evidence that he will
introduce Monday. A sensational
session is expected when the case is
resumed
While Lea will not say SO, It is
believed that the reason for Lu Eft.
ia Smiths trip to Japan after DR..
Burke's preliminary hearing will be
explained. The names of those
who gave her money to make the
journey are expected to be revealed
Precautions are being taken TO
prevent over-crowding of the court
room as a record breaking attend
ance is expected.
Attorney Leppo for the defens ,
held several long consultations with
his associate counsel today. Leppo
also limited at sensation but re-
fused to divulge what his next move
would be.
Lu Eta Smith, star witness, spent
the day at the home of Policeman
Meyer. where she has been since her
return from japan. She appeared
none the worse for the ordeal she
has been through.
Miss Smith, in all probability, will
be recalled to the stand when the
case opens Monday
