Show ITS VICIOUS DEPRAVITY. . The IDescret News last night showed again its vicious depravity in a way absolutely indecont and inexcusable. An unauthorized and inaccurate report of an interview with S'cnator Kearns appeared in a Los Angeles paper on Tuesday evening. Tho Tribune heard about it and wired its correspondent in Los Augelos to sec Senator Kearns and ascertain what, in fact, he did say. In reply our correspondent gave a correct version of what Sonalor Kearns said, and this appeared in The Tribune yesterday yes-terday morning. On this stato of facts tho church organ or-gan last night affected to find a form of duplicity, staling that, the incorrect version which was repudiated by Senator Sen-ator Kearns was, in fact, given .by him for outside consumption, but that he did not dare to give tho same expression expres-sion for local consumption, and so gave a different version to The Tribune correspondent cor-respondent in Los Angeles. .And upon this vindictive and unwarranted assumption as-sumption tho church organ proceeded to belabor Senator Kearns aud to rail at American party efforts made in this city to cure notorious evils that exist. Needless to say, the church organ in all this simply makes an exhibit of its own insane hate and its narrow-minded bigotry. There is not the least foundation foun-dation for its claim that Senator Kearns gavo out differing interviews. Ho was erroneously quoted in the interview inter-view published in the evening. The Tribune was convinced of that, and so sought to find what he really did say. The result was that wo printed the true version. That is a plain stacmcnt of the fact. And the News version is simply its fanatical misrepresentation. But this sort of thing is expected from the News, because the News is always guilt3' of it whenever it can find occasion. |
