| {, Parkinson reveIs in. but my CORE
spondenIs from Preston tell me that Par
kinson's stake clerk. Mr.. Barton. with
Jealous alacrity sent the account of Par
kinsou's ''reappontment as regent" to
the Deeeret News, which also pub
iishcd II.
No the Preston News could well afford
to join in the effort OF The Tribune to
protect the down trodden people OF Pres
ton from further losses. and to clean mp
the town against the abominable ills
enumerated above. all OF which arc GER
tainly there. beyond the power OF man
or OF newspaper TO deny.
Not Wanted at School.
George a, Parkinson will scarcely at
tend the meetings OF the state uuiver-
sity conVocation. There would be scant

Deep and abiding interest" in the state
university. says Parkinson. This Is the
when he rode on a railway pass from
Pocatello TO Huntington and collected
free railway fare from the state uni
Versity. as evidenced by 4 certain receipt
issued TO him. which receipt bears the
number Of the pass on which he rode,
and the initials OF the conductor who
carried him: or his pass; this distance;
for which George G. Parkinson collected

OF deep and abiding interest" this man
had. and he has shown no signs of ref
ormatiop.
Desporter Of Trust.
IL is unworthy OF Mr.. Lee OF the grad
yates of the state university. TO recog-
nze this crooked man. this despoier OF a
public trust; this ravager OF the sacred
funds OF the state university. in inviting
him To membership In convocation OF
friends OF the institution. and in the name
of the standard OF morals and of ethics
