And now comes two very sad as
poets of this wretched, heart-rending
business. The first is positive. For
two years more you must stand before
your fellow citizens as Governor of
state whose moral welfare you have
betrayed. In your personality every
citizen must perforce contemplate two
very conflicting aspects of being; first,

his highest respect and Difference;
and underneath the office, the-well,

sode in your career, cannot see a
single spot of light to relieve the gen.
eral blackness. And the worst of it
all is, no words of yours in reply to
this letter can serve to rehabiliate
you.
Can you plead that you are merely
the executive of political policy?
Who would excuse such perfdious
self-surrender! Can you plead ignor-
ance as TO the moral drift Of this poll
cy? Who would believe you! Can
you plead an honest conviction as to
the righteousness of the course you
have taken? Again, who would be-
lieve you! Such plea might be
plausible from one bred in a saloon
atmosphere and educated in the cor
rupt arena of politics; but from a
Mormon elder-from one of your own
virile, morally wholesome farmer boys
impossible!
There is left then only one explana-
ton, and it is one which every man
and woman in this intermountain re-
gion would wish might prove false.
Unfortunately, as before suggested,
no word of yours at this stage will
help our unbelief. Only the life which
you shall lead in the future, and
which we shall not fail to scrutinize
from now on, can build you up again
in our confidence.

Victories for George Moore and

final games of those regularly sched-

a triple tie for first place, William

two.

Ellis going to the table at .1:45.
The final scores were: DAILY so, De

The showing of De ORC in the tour
nament was disappointment to his
friends, the great Cuban. being out

He seemed to be under a heavy nerV-

There is no immediate prospect of
