THE AMBITIOUS ASS.

The chief church organ last night
had scornful editorial on the Prcsby
terian missions. and il undertook 10
speak the voice of Christianity TO the
Prcsbyterlans as If they were outside
of Christian fellowship. The idea OF
the organ of the Mormon church under
taking 10 speak for Christianity is
grotesque enough, but for il to under
take to speak in the way it did is
something more pitiful than humorous.
In the course of its screed it cot in
ITS usual Misrepresentation and false.
hoods about the American party and
the American party influence, and put
in passing and pointed hint that it is
with the Republicans this year in their
campaign of using murder as d politi-
cal asset.
The organ, however. was rather
weak in scripture, when it spoke about
''tbe voice of Balaam by which Israel
was ensnared.'' 1t will bic remem
bered, however, by those familiar with
the Balaam story, that there was a
miraculous voice from the sturdy beast
which Balaam was riding which held
back the prophet and prevented the
evil to Israel which his bribed tongue
was about to threaten. We can think
of nothing more opposite in the News S
position with respect to this matter
than that it is emulous Of Balaam s
ass, and is trying with but poor effect)
TO emulate the wisdom of that beast
IN its warning to the Presbyterians of
their error, Here, however, it gets
things mixed, as usual, and in place of
the ass speaking the voice of tho angel,
1T is the ass speaking the voice of the
prophet, which is always directed bv
selfinterest and is always Injurious to
the cause of truth and righteousness.
This has been the record of the church
ass from the first. Its voice has al
ways misled the people, and has been
the cause of all the miseries that have
come upon them If that voice had
been hushed from the first, and the
voice of reason and sense had prevailed
here, there would have been no cause
by this time for any recrimination as
between any form of Christianity or
civilization and Mormonism

THE ORGANS ADMISSIONS,

country at large that this is a danger.

10, the Smoot organ, noting the dis.
repute into which il has fallen by
reason of that false move, turns its
attention slanderously once more
against the American city administra-
ton. 1t has been carrying the implica
ton that gamblers, thieves, and other
offenders could show receipts from the
police department or from the license
collectors, or from some American party
man IN authority. for money paid 10

now admits squarely that there are no
snch receipts, and incidentally this ad.
mission necessarily carries the further
confession that there has been no con.
donation of crime; no collection of
hush money; no indemnity secured by
any criminals through the payment of
money or otherwise, as it is charging
against American party officials.
The whole fabric of falsehood
was reared for political effect, and it
must all fall together. There is not
one particle OF evidence to support
the scurrIlous az ,usations, and the

COUNTY ATTORNEY SOUND.

County Attorney Job Lyon, speaking
simply in his official capacity and as a
lawyer, has thorough contempt for
the dirty political iobbcry that the
church politicians arc now pcrpctratng
upon tho people of Salt Lake. His
statement, cmphatically made ycster-
day, is as follows:

found, for the benefit Of political

here and now. That kind of dirty
Jobbory is not contemplated in the law,
nor should any official view such a
lobbcry as this otherwise than with the
utmost contempt. No official can lend
himself to such work without prostitut-
ing his official character and violating
his oath of Office
County Attorney Lyon has made him
self record as an honest and faithful
othclal. He was refused denomination
by the erafters simply because he op
posed grating. This is so well known
and recognized in this community that
no argument is needed to enforce the
point. Mr.. LYON s position. taken as
above. is simply and clearly 10 dc

administration. There is nothing in it |

AGAINST BUSINESS INTERESTS.

The effort of the grafters TO crippl,
the business interests of Salt Lake an,
TO keep out population and wealth, ha,
for the most part been headed of; bui
1t is inevitable that vicious raid sucl
as was lnauGuraicd by the letter OF
Governor Spry will have lasting auo
deletcrlous effects upon the city
There was nothing in the least to
call for any such letter. There was nc
such a condition here as could in the
least be pleaded in justification of its
being made public and tclcgraphcd TO
the country at large. This is evident
from the fact that the cloud of dopu.
ties authorized by the county commits.
sloners in pursuance Of the Governor Is
letter have found nothing to do but
loaf around and draw their pay.
AS has been shown from the record,
the criminal cases in September, 1905,
were fifty per cent more in actual mum.
ecr than in September, 1910. At that
time the city was much sma Her in pop
ulatlon and area than il is now. so that
counting the city as it is today. com
pared with the city as it was then. il
is conservative to say that there was
twice as much crime in proportion ia
reality in 1905 as in 1910 And yet
the American party, which was making
It's first campaign in 1905, did not pub.
hsb to the world either officially or
otherwise any defamatory matter
against salt Lake. No one in behalf
of the American party stigmatized Salt
Lake ss submerged IN "'wave of
crime No one called the attention of
the country TO an imaginary criminal
condition here that was unbearable and
threatening TO the safety OF life and
property.
And that is the difference between
the American party and the church
party. The church party scruples at
nothing to defame Salt Lake, and vel
comes its scarecrow of criminal cordi-
tions in order that it may hope TO reap
political advantage thercfrom The
American party accepted conditions as
they were, and set about diligently to
amend them. 1t did amend them, and
has kept the city comparatively free
from crime from the time of its acces-
sion to power until now, and it is go.
ng to keep right on in that good work

AN lMPOSTOR'S TRICK.
The Cheerful liar That Made a Fool
of the Grand Monarch.

Louis XIV. was taken in once in a
most humiliating way and by an i'm
poster whose only art was lying. In
1867, just after he had returned from
one OF his most dazzling military sue

from Persia had just landed ut Mar

bring salutations and presents from
the shah. Pleased that his fame
should actually have run around the
world. he sert word that all the towns
on the way from Marseilles to Paris
should fete the ambassador.
AS result the journey TO Paris was
a march OF triumph Children sang
and flowers We're strewn along the
way. Arrived at Paris. several regi-
ments of the Swiss guard met the
shah'S representative and escorted him
to magnificent suit in the old palace
of the TuilerieS. Louis sent no less
a person than the Due de Richelieu TO

The ambassador presented himself

A caravan of presents from his i'm

A VERY QUEER BIRD.
The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists.

Mark Twain's father was an ornithol-
ogist. He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts on the subject of
BIRDS. Whenever any one of them dis
covered a rara avis it was the custom
to have consultation. Mark had been
a witness of several OF these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing q new
found specimen. One day 1t occurred
TO him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with real circus in the
form Of bird. He killed crow and
also barnyard rooster Plucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster. he substituted the ROSTERS
tail feathers for those of the crow, pro
ducing unique effect. When he had
the specimen nicely prepared he went
to his father and, handing it to him,
said:
Here, father, is n very curious bird
l shot. L thought you would be inter-
ested In It,"
The old gentleman gazed upon the
specimen With establishment That
evening the ornithologists of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr.. Clemens par
Tor. The rare specimen was put be-
fore them. The discussion was long
and learned. The opinions expressed
were various. One thought the bird
was an Offshoot Of the bird of para
disc family; others had equally ridicu-
lOus notions as to its ancestry. But
there was one who refused to be
swerved by the popularity of the
birds tail from the judgment that it
was of the crow family.
why. just look here" he said, lift
ing the bird by its tail feathers. He
got no further. The feathers came
out. There was q quick closing of
door. Mr.. Clemens started to leave
the room.
