Show J STILL HARPING Some gtnilemen when they become angry los for the time their level I liendadJes8 and give themselves away I Our morning contemporary yesterday 1 bad a second manifesto from Mr Roberts i I Rob-erts a part of which bordered a little i I on the Intemperate In speech Ho gives as an excuse that tho reason ho referred j re-ferred to polygamous Republicans who I were holding office In Utah when he r made his defense in Washington that I I it was a matter which was In the air I Washington that Mr Raw Una had j j published his resolutions and with I them the statement was made that I Federal l appointments had been made of men alleged to be In thu same I status aa the Representative from i Utah that from all these things It was Alleged that the people of Utah had broken their compact with the Government Govern-ment of the United States hence if Mr Roberts had said nothing the whole I matter would have boon ventilated Just the tame That we think is likely l enough And then Mr Roberts declared that he had no apology to make which Is no doubt true and that he has no regrets as to the outcome We fear J considering the tone of tho whole art j I cle tlmt when he made that last statement II state-ment ho had some mental reservations reserva-tions Ho says It appears from the amount of whining that now goes on 1 1 vlth reference to that subject that It I was hoped this light would be confined to the Utah Representative alone Jf Mr Roberts vera not as big a man as he Is I wo should call that baby talk because be-cause this business was started even before Mr Roberts became U 1 candidate candi-date Tho Manti resolutions of the ministry were the opening volley of the whole light Then when The Tribune asked ihe News if those resolutions were true and It engaged Elder Pen loose to wade through seven columns of the News to deny to equivocate to hurl his abuse at the ministers and to call all people enemies of the Mormons who Questioned matter at nil It was very clear to every Gentile In the State that the resolutions were true and Mr Robcrlssi nomination confirmed the fact that tho Intention was to bulldoze Utah and with a certificate front the Governor of this State of the election of a polyganjlst to try to bulldoze Congress Con-gress It seems It did not carry In Washington Ilenco Mr Roberts ivrath I I I lie boldly asserts that there was no agreement existing no covenantbro ken In either case He merely l stated that as an opinion not as a fact and all other men have the game light to their opinions But we think Mr Roberts I orts will hardly assert that If Congress In 1S93 had known that In 1SOS in case Statehood was granted to Utah the majority of the people would elect a mnn to Congress who In all his life had never pretended to obey the law there would not have been trouble In obtaining obtain-ing the enabling act It seems too that Mr Roberts Is not entirely satisfied with the fight he made In Washington for he says he would do It again and do It harder And then he declares I will yet tear the mask off certain hypocrites who Imagine that with the left hand they can light a Democrat and with the right protect a Republican Republi-can censurable for the same offense and still try to justify their war on a Democrat alone Is Mr Roberts sure that any ono Is wearing a mask Hoa Mr Robertas success in tho bulldozing lino madeIt modest on his part to Ihrealcn further destruction Tbcn lie bccOniPs specific and talks His way I have Juxt one word to say to my tel lowDemocrats In this State and that Is that they niuat shako off this silly fear of a cotcrlo or men made up of The Trib use aiig and a few whlted aepiilclircH lu tho form of sectarian missionary prksts who Imagine that they can run this State on lines drawn liy themselves In heir I own mcrctnnry Interests and frIght on the People of tho comnifinwenltli Into i acquiescence by tbrcatenlnrr us with tho fury of ropulnr condemnation outside livery nen p of manhood revolts against vubml slon to nny such men or condi tions anil 1C thu manhood of our much brtoved Utah Is what I think It is l then It will rhfo in the mnjisly or Its own BirciiKth look tho hypocrites ana Con tlllJrl1tor l In tho taco uiul tell them to go strttljtht to hell where jtlioy belong that they have no power to terrify us j Now waiving The Tribune does Mr Roberts irfiagluc that he will inuka friends for the Mormon people by arraigning ar-raigning the Christian clergymen of this State who are well known and whose lives are nearly it not qulfo as pure as that of Mr Roberts And Is It real lofty work for Mr Roberts to try to steal the thunder of the News by ascribing mercenary motives to the people vlio are here demanding that the laws ahull 1 be obeyed And jvheu he In hls vralh calls upon tlc Democrats Demo-crats to assert themselves what does he hop to accomplish with the record behind l him that It there had not been a Republican in Congress he would have been sent homfc Just the same Again Lit a churchman who holds high oillccs in thb dominant church of the State whose business all his life except a couple of times when he was run for office has been the preaching of his relIgion re-lIgion it Is good for him to try to urge hla fellow devout churchmen to tell those who donot like all their ways togo to-go straight to hell where they be lonKJ He could at least have smoothed this down and said that he hoped > to see these people 1 later Then when ht foams at the mouth and wants it understood un-derstood that these people have no power to terrify him what does hem he-m iLn What have these people asked j I of lilm and his ptople They told him not to run for C mrrcss that If he did It would jnnke trouble for him and his peopl und he would not believe It lIe vaVed them way with a lofty scorn Vlfh tins result that Just now he Is dls appotniod and angry i Finally w In kindness suggest to j I MI IfabrrUi that he go slow The pee 1 J pie of the Unltid Stitrt arc not tn good I I humor toward polygamy or polygamists polyga-mists and they are liable to make them trouble They will be sure to If there are many more declarations like this last one of Mr Roberts We suggest another thing to him Mr Roberts has demonstrated that while he is a natural I orator he Is not a great man His I I election to Congress seems to have Riven him a touch of what In street vocabulary IB known as the big head I and that will not win The burden of I I his whole manifesto Is when reduced to English an appeal to the Mormon people peo-ple to come together and lake full control con-trol of this State But that is not new He made that appeal when he was ti candidate for Congress Mora than that the Gentiles when they indorsed I Statehood did It with a full understanding under-standing that the Mormon people would control this State because this Is a i country where majorities rule and I when there Is an Institution In a Stato I that by the beck of the finger can I make people all vote one way of courso if that people arc In a majority they can If thy please control the State But in doing that we give Mr Roberts and oil his friends notice that they will have to do It on American lines and If they do there will ho no complaInt and we feel sure they will not nominate anymore any-more men like Mr Roberts for Congress Con-gress because when a selfdlsfrnn I chlscd man with a commission from Utah goes over the border and runs I against the American Congress no one knows better than Mr Roberts what I happens The Gentiles have asked for nothing but a square deal They will i come pretty nearly getting It the impotent wrath which gives away how I much Mr Roberts is hurt will not count and for the sake of his own people I peo-ple he ought to moderate his tone I I |
