PRICE- $2.00 PER TEAR, 4$- PROVO COWARDS A School Hoard Attempts to Coera Ladj teacher With Infamy Behind Closed Doors. The Provo public school hoard has iaken official cognizance of a com-plaint com-plaint placed before it by Mis. Edith Martin and others, and the Provo Correspondent of The Tribune speaks of it as follows in last Tuesday's issue: "The city school board met in secret session tonight (Monday last) to hear testimony as to the conduct of Miss Daisy Moore, a teacher in the city schools, against whose further employment em-ployment by the board a protest in writing had been made by nine Provo ladies. 'Two months ago Miss Monre was named as the co-respondent in the divorce proceedings brought by Mrs. Edith Martin against her husband, Herman S. Martin, a well-known banker. Subsequently the suit wasi compromised before trial. "The petition to the board contained con-tained no direct accusation, butasked that she be required to prove her innocence in-nocence of the charge of adultery on pain of beio removed from her position. posi-tion. The petition was circulated quite widely. It was before the Woman's Christian Temperance union for that body's support as a whole, but no one appearing to speak for it, and no one against it, the union ignored ig-nored it entirely. "Mrs. Martin has been active in the collection of evidence to place before the board. Miss Moore and her friends were equally energetic, so that a battle royal was expected. "The meeting, however, was secret, and the expected sensations did not occur. Several ladies testified to having seen Mr. Martin and Miss Moore together at different times. "This was the extent of the evidence evi-dence Introduced. Miss Moore did not present any of her case, as she lid not know what she would have to answer, and a continuance was granted until Friday eveniug next. Tbe board... j lsurrs,tpiidU.wiik not undertake to hear evidence of the serious charge made against Miss Moore. It will conUne itself to testi-Jnoay testi-Jnoay whether Miss Moore's conduct !s been professional and becoming to one in her position. WUVT STARTED IT. "The filing of Ihe Martin divorce suit caused probably the greatest sensation of thiftnd ever experi; enced iu this locality. On the night of June 21st, Mrs. Martin and Miss Moore met near the hitter's home, and though stories 'conflict as to the circumstances, it is known some hot wordsensuo I, terminating in what is said to have been a pitched battle, neighbors interfering and preventing any serious results. After the senalional incident, Mrs. Martin went down town and called her attorney, M. M. Warner, from the opera-house, where a performance was in progress, and the complaint "Saved Her Life." MU3. JOHN WALLET, of Jefferson, Wis., than Phorn none la morehlfihly esteemed or widely known, writes. "In 1300 1 had a serero attack of I.aCrlppe and at the end of four months, in spite of all physicians, friends and good nursing could do, my lunps heart and nervous system were no completely wrecked, my life was despaired de-spaired of, my friends giving me up. 1 could only sloep by the uo of opiates.

"The bill caused a world of surprise sur-prise and wonderment, It charged that the crime had been committed on the 23th of May. and on June 21st, the night before the suit was planted. The plaintiff and defendent were married at Provo, September 12, 1 SO t. The complaint represented Martin's property as being worth $l'7.5oo, and a suitable amount was asked by plaintiff for her separate maintenance. mainte-nance. "In the course of a few days a compromise was effected, and the suit withdrawn. There was then considerable talk of Miss Moore instituting a libel suit, and, it is said, such action may yet he taken, though nothing of that kind has yet been done. "The case rested until the above petition was circulated, resulting in tonight's meeting. The public is deeply interested mi the outcome of the case, and both Mrs. Martiu and Miss Moore have many friends and supporters. The affair from the beginning has caused more ill-feeling, and threatens to , develop more sensational sen-sational incidents, than anything ever before given to the public." ..One-. studshasLuiiiLiAft4 plight to which v Provo' is reduce! by her municipal government, and' by the powers who there rule. She seems unmindful of her shame. She hugs to her ugly breast and absolut.-ly refuses re-fuses to exam iue high county ollicers who have mercilessly plundered and pillaged the people; and now to her history already made infamous, she goes to the extreme and adds the crime of compelling an honorable young woman to appear behind locked doors and before an ogling, smirking, trrinniiig school board, and before that tribunal strip her life, her thoughts, her impulses bare at the request of nine cowardly, contemptible women who had not the courage to attack Miss Moore before her friends. Not one brave, respectable person has come forward and said Miss Moore is guilty of auy offense. At the utmost, give her all the credit she dare claim for herself, this Edith Martin, by her acts confesses that she perjured herself when she swore to her complaint asking for a divorce, or she is not a good woman and an honest woman. If her complaint com-plaint was true, she should have prosecuted pros-ecuted her case or closed her mouth. Her present vindictive methods leads one to easily conclude ,she was battled by a known knowledge that the corespondent co-respondent was entirely innocent, else Miss Moore would have been pursued pur-sued to the bitter end. Edith Martin's Mar-tin's acts exhibit her as fearful of the issue and of a fair trial. She is reported re-ported as being active in hunting down her enemy, yet. the strongest evidence produced before this secret tribunal was that Miss Moore had been seen in Mr. Martin's company. Mrs. Edith Martin should keep her husband under a glass case. What a contrast was the conduct of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Every one of them Is an antrel whose presence transforms hovels into chapels, crushed and broken men and women into earnest, thoughtful, helpful brothers and sisters, and the help they give is a pleasing sight to man and a sweet incense to God. In this Utah, In a state boasting on any and all occasions of a high civilization civ-ilization till the people are nauseated with Its reiteration, a woman Is to be trampled upon to appease the hatred of a modern fury; in a city containing magnificent academies and holy temples tem-ples of worship, a woman is selected to quiver and flinch under the eyes of a school board operating behind blinded windows and locked doors. Provo should promptly eject each member of that board, and it. should be done promptly and eerso emphatically. emphat-ically. "These secret inquisitions, even In Provo, should p4 considered as barbarous.

According to the junta's advices, the insurgents for a time regarded General Merrit and General Anderson Ander-son as martinets, and feared they would adopt harsh method's, like the Spaniards, toward the Filipinos; but the insurgents from the tirst have Ijad the greatest confidence in Admiral Ad-miral Dewey, whom they regard as a sort of father and the most important American at Manila. The junti is satisfied that all friction will soon disappear, and that there will be no trouble from the insurgents if the Americans decide to retain the Philippines. According to a wealthy Filipino, now in London, they in Europe are all well-to-do people. Hitherto they have led aloof from the insurgents, but they now realize that their interests inter-ests demand action, and they are about to form a committee to open negotiations wilh the junta here. They are all in favor of having the archipelago retained by the United States. So strong is their conviction of the desirability of thi course that they had contemplated approaching thellritish foreign office to invite Great Iiritain to intervene, and in any event to prevent the islands being be-ing returned to the control of Spain. They desired, however, to await American action. The rumors of trouble between the natives and the Americans at Manila are, for the most part, unfounded. The fact is that the insurgents have been unwilling to disarm until as- The Greatest Thing on Earth In Shoes s Irvine & wired of the permanence of American Ameri-can protection.

ROYLAXCE. r If this was a Democratic paper It would urge the nomination of the above named gentleman for the office of state senator flora Utah county. We notice from the Salt Lake papers, and from other state papers, that onf Wm. M. Poylnnce, is likely to lw placed fu nomination for the state senate at the coming Democratic county convention, Mr. Roylance would be our choice above any one in this county. He is a thorough going, up to date, progressive business busi-ness man, and his experience in the last house of representatives, particularly particu-larly qualities him for the position of state senator. And above all, Springville is fully entitled , to this position. We have had ; several members of the house, but have never yet had a member of the stcte Senate, anil being the second largest town In the county, and for other reasons that could bo mentioned, we should ba entitled to the position. And we can safely trust the position to Mr, Roylance, for he has fully demonstrated by handling the public positions he has tilled,' that he is fully qualified, and competent to fill the position. We trust that the delegation delega-tion from Springville will see to It, that Mr. Roylance is Utah county's choice for this position, and If they will do this, from the trend of opinions expressed" throughout the county and state in his behalf, lie will surely get the nomination, and be elected, , The Independent wishes him every success.

It would be a mistake to send lo the legislature legisla-ture men who have to rely upon the judgement of others upon every economic proposition before they can trust themselves to casta vote for or against a proposed enactment.

A cabinet minister at Washington who saw the president Monday said that the basis of the instructions to our peace commissioners will be as follows: First-The retention by the United States of the island of Luzon, on which the city of Manila is situated. Second Equal trade facilities with Spain in the remainder of the Philip-pine Philip-pine group. Third None of the islands to be disposed of to any foreign nation. Fourth The severance of all existing exist-ing relations between church and state In the entire group. While the commissioners will be allowed certain degrees of latitude in other matters, the foregoing points will not be departed from or altered. The president's desire for the separation sepa-ration of church and .state in the Philippines is understood to lie based especially upon the remarkable situation sit-uation in the islands. The friars and fyyfyuym.u, w-liuhwii Fair Stitch, Projecting Sole .mce or Button, all Sizes, at Sons,, 14 -. r. , ,, priests are maintained in authority by the Spanish Government, paid out of the revenues of the Government, nud are entrusted with the task of preserving Spanish rule in the Islands. The president feels that the continuation continu-ation of: such a policy would be extremely ex-tremely detrimental to the interest of the United States. .
