| Show e SOME LIBERAL PUZZLES we take the following from the park city the ogden union ra ion says there Is a project on foot for or the removal of U M marshal parsons ogden park city and salt lake propose the scheme ogden will give the petition sm names the union is a poor guesser forwark for park city will not take an interest in tae the effort to get t the senate to refuse confirming the he chehal marshal how ogden could give the petition SM genuine names without doubling up is a question which puzzles us there re is another puzzling question besides that which seems seem to worry the record that is how is it that the raid on the gambling dens in ogden which has so much aro aroused used the ire of liberals in that city has been so poorly productive of results it will be remembered that one madden was prosecuted A for keeping a gambling house and that he was discharged without sentence on a promise to obey the biz law in future this was before the movement of the marshal which occasioned the demand for the removal of his deputy and now suir suggests the removal of the marshi marshal himself after the arrest of the two or three gamblers under the marshals Mar praiseworthy enforcement of the law two were fined 15 each and the case against the third who appears to be the same madden was dismissed by the prosecution for alleged lack of evidence madden being commonly reported to have boasted that he would not be punished now we find in a report of a shooting scrape that took place in ogden on sunday morning that a bag containing was stolen from a certain person who was bringing it away from maddens gambling rooms he was coming down the stairs with this boodle at 2 sunday morning when a pistol was presented and the bag demanded another man who attempted to stop the bold robber in the street was sat in the leg for his pains this shows that maddens gambling rooms are still in illegal use and that the law is not enforced in this particular instance and the query is why is this thus Is there some particular exemption which ahl ch doth hedge about this favored individual or is the whole effort a spasmodic show of pretended virtue we hope the movement for the removal of marshal parsons because he would not remove deputy kratt because the latter gentleman endeavored to execute the law against gambling will be enough to give opportunity port unity for a full exposure of liberal alms aims and methods and of the kind of morality which the reformers of mormon morals seek to impose upon utah for the induction of our youth into the customs of a higher civilization A picture of the entire proceedings ce would be a striking object lesson for congress by all means send on tle the signatures the record need not be surprised at anything ogden liberals can cah do after the votes they can cast when party exigencies require an addition of figures when they can poll or more ballots than they have resident voters a smaller exercise of the same ingenuity will furnish any number of signatures to a liberal petition the records 8 puzzle pu azle is of easy solution |
