could possibly be. Found shot and in hiding i'm
mediately after the killing of the Morrisons,
and his fat refusal to give satisfactory explana-
ton of how he was wounded, seems to us to re-
move any justification for demand for clemency
AT the same time the affair seems to have been
made national matter and sufficient pressure or
persuasion has been brought to bear on President
Wilson TO get him TO intercede in behalf of the
defendant, to the extent Of granting stay of the
execution until the next meeting Of the board of
pardons. This the governor of the state has ac-
coded to, on the assumption that the president
is in possession of facts which warranted his in
reference in the affairs of the state.
Without question a criminal should have the
benefit of every reasonable doubt touching his
case, but when intimidation and lawlessness is
resorted to in order to set at naught the action of
the courts of law it strikes that it is time for
all good citizens to take firm stand and let it be
known, once for all, whether this is a republican
form of government or an anarchy.
Judging from the absence of comment on the
subject by the Salt Lake press, it is apparent that
the papers are frightened into silence or the edi-
tors have their eyes glued to long distance tele-
scope and can see nothing nearer than the war in
Europe.

THE COOPERATIVE LAUNDRY.

A the time Farmers Roundup and House
~ keepers Conference was held in this city
last winter or early spring, quite little enthus
iasm and interest was created in the matter Of a
cooperative laundry for Cedar City, and as we
remember the matter was placed in the hands Of
the Home Economics club to promote and foster.
For long while we have heard nothing more Of
the matter, and we fear that interest has been
allowed to lag or die. AS we view it this is very
necessary convenience which once established.
could be made self supporting, and at the same
time would mark one more step forward in COM
munity enterprise, adding one more of the conven-
fences which make life worth living, and women
something besides drudges in the home.
The Home Economics Society is now re-organ-
izing for the winters activities and we trust that
the matter will receive the attention that its i'm
portance warrants. The capital required is not
great. and there should be no great difficulty in
securing it by popular subscription.

THE VOTING CONTEST.

4 FEW persons, one or two, to be explicit,
~ have expressed doubt as to whether our Of
fer Of prizes was bona-fide, and whether or not
all candidates would receive an equal chance. We
believe 1t is hardly necessary to make any further
statement, but just to reassure those who enter
tain any such doubts we will repeat that the offer
is absolutely bona-fde that the prizes mentioned
in our announcement, the Ford touring car and
500 in gold, will positively be given that the con-
duct of the contest is in the hands of the judges
mentioned, whose standing in the community is
certainly sufficient guarantee that the contest
will be absolutely fair and impartial to all parties
concerned. 1t is all question Of who is the most
popular and enterprising, as to who will win. But
right here want to say that "a faint heart neer
won fair lady" or prize automobile and it will
require little assurance and energetic hustling
on the part of the winner. Business nor votes,
in any considerable quantity, do not come to one
unsolicited. People in this respect like Deity:
They like to help people who help themselves
The Record has no favorites in this race. It
is strictly business proposition with us. The
object is apparent. and is no secret 1t is to stim-
ulate the payment of subscription and other ac-
counts, and to extend our circulation. The person
who is instrumental in obtaining the most results
along these lines is the one we wish to succeed,
and to whom we will take pleasure in presenting
the premiums when they are awarded. All of the
candidates have our very best wishes in their en-
deavors. and we viii be glad to cooperate with
each to the extent of furnishing them with sample
copies of our paper, furnishing them with copies
of our subscription list or in any other legitimate
manner, but we have absolutely no special or ex-
elusive favors to show to any one The contest ia
now starting off in a satisfactory manner, and we
believe that It will be entirely satisfactory to all
parties concerned.

THAT HILLsTRoM TERROR.

XNTHERE are we coming to in this day and
wv age of the world, when friends of man
convicted in the courts with fair and impartial
trial of the murder of peaceable citizens in cold
blood can become so bold and lawless as to SER
iously menace the governor of the state, and all
public and private property members of the gov
ernor's family and the lives of other citizens If
the sentence Of this man is not committed from
death to life Imprisonment? This is the most
atrocious and high-handed piece of business that
has been attempted in the United States for a
number of years and rivals the reign of terror that
included the dynamting of the Times building at
Los Angeles.
1t is time for courageous and law-abidng
citizens to stand together and uphold the dignity
of the courts. If they are to be over-ridden by
threats and violence, then this is nothing but an
anarchy, and the life and property of no one is
safe. The evidence against Hillstrom is about as
conclusive and damning as circumstantial evidence

FROM the improvement of business condi-
tions generally, the heavy travel, the coming of
new people to engage in business here of various
forms, it is apparent that there is better times
in store for the people of Cedar City and Iron
county. And we believe that while this growth
and development will be slow and of stable char
acter it is gonig, nevertheless to make itself felt
in substantial way in the near future. We have
all the natural facilities here for great inland
empire, and the process of development is getting
well under way. Cedar City has a great future,
and people make no mistake in locating here, and
getting in now, on the ground floor, so to speak.

BETTER FIRE PROTECTION.

vt is with gratficationthat The Record is able
to announce in this issue that arrange
ments are being made for the affording of better
protection in the event of fire, to the homes and
lives of the people. The watermaster has done
about all that he possibly could tot insure prompt
and sufficient supply of water in the city mains
in the vicinity of fire, when needed. and with
general information disseminated among the peo-
pie as to where the fire hose can be had, we are
not likely to be caught in quite the predicament
that we were in when the late fire occurred at the
Cory Hotel barns. Now if the city marshal who
was appointed as fire chief by the city council
some little time since can effect volunteer fire
company organization and induce the members to
turn out and do little practice work, will be-
gin to feel great deal more secure in of fire.
Can you not accomplish this, Mr.. Marshal?
-(s)-
THE very satisfactory work that has been &C
complished by the local Indian colony under the
instructions of u s. Indian Agent Creel, since
his visit here last year. shows the advantage of
self help rather than the pension system. 1t has
been found in other places that where the govern
ment has assumed the responsibility of providing
for the Indians and furnishing all their needs that
laziness and degeneration is the result while by
Encouraging the Indians to help themselves, and
merely assisting them to acquire tools to work
with, which of necessity are useless and worthless
to them unless used, habits of industry and thrift
are promulgated. This has been the course pur-
sued with the local tribe, and the results have
prised even the agent himself. 1t is needless to
say that the satisfactory showing will be suitably
rewarded by the supply of additional tools and
equipment by the government with which to till
their plot of land, and improve their surroundings
and conditions.
