Show Li T. Mill. 0 TRUTH. ' GIVE THE PEOPLE THE FACTS. Why did not the K. K. American party come into existence a year ago? " 1 ;,; I V s ?ii' if It; .1 m Vi ' iv.il fk i i:;l III' j;4il Kjf :i:i. i;n ; t Kjr.ii K L ' h- - vi r u! H t (.U iTi - J !: . 'i t . Why did the K. K. American party wait till after the Republican state convention to be born? Was it because they who sired the misshapen thing counted on wielding the balance of power in their own individual cause during this campaign? Is it possible that the sponsors for this illegitimate offspring of hate had political ambitions of their own that seemed to crumble and fall to naught with the nomination of the present state ticket? And that war cry of the thing they call The American Party Away with church influence is it any more applicable in this campaign than it was when the senior senator purchased his seat in congress? Why does not Senator Kearns get some one to write a letter for him setting forth the fact and the details cf his own deal with the church? Such a story would mak? mighty interesting reading, and would go farther toward vindicating the life of his bastard party than anything else the senator could do. Stand up, Tom Kearns, and tell us how much you gave President Snow to change you from the moneyed nincompoop you were to a United States senator? Lay the facts before the people, Mr. Kearns, tell us how the deal was consummated, inform us as to what were the conditions, and how many of those condition you proved false to and how many you observed. Mr. Kearns, in this beautiful state there are thousands of men who object to church influence in political matters as seriously as you do, thousands of young men who are numbered in the dominant church and thousands of men outside of that church who are just as ready as you ever can be to shatter every vestige of church interference in matters of state, who are just as willing as you possibly can be to lay their all on the altar of American principles in their determination to remove, forever, the idea that the church as a church can in the very faintest degree, dominate the state. Tom Kearns, these thousands of men will rally around your standard if you will convince them of your earnestness and sincerity in this matter. Of course. Mr. Kearns, it will be necessary, before people, that is to say. respectable people, will follow your lead, for you to make a clean breast of your politcal sins and shortcomings and give evidence that you have truly repented and reformed. You know, senator, or perhaps you dont know it it is, however, a fact that the man who buys politcal power is just as corrupt as he who sells it, and so before we can follow you in ycur great(?) fight against the church it will he nuite necessary for you to come out plainly and show indications, cf your own regeneracy. Men do not ro from a tannery to a glue factory just to get a change of smell, nor do men with their eyes open cry against one form of corruption in favor of another form that is. just as had, if not worse. Therefore, Tom Kearns, if you want to fight church influence, stand un and make a clean breast of the methods nursued by you in your own political fleht. Tell us the whole story. Tom. give us the details, the particulars of your deal writh the church, tell us how much cold cash you paid for your seat in congress, and how much you promised but failed to pay. If you will do this, Mr. Kearns, and produce the evidence necessary to convince any reasonable man that you are telling the truth, then will we join you in the fight and stand by you till Utah becomes thoroughly Americanized. Of course, Mr. Kearns, we Republicans cannot vote with, or in any way assist your K. K. American party for all the repenting you might do if you lived a thousand years could not change the fact that that party is the deformed creature that treachery has put forward to stab to death the Republican party of this state. We will fight church influence, Tom, but we will fight it as Republicans, in the open, under Gods glorious skies, where the whole people may see and know what is going on, and not in the sanctum sanctorum of the Salt Lake Tribune. And why should you expect us to, Tom? What has come over you that you should expect people to forsake the Grand Old Party that has made the United States the world power it is today, the party that has done more to uplift and exalt the human family, to civilize and educate mankind .than any other political force on earth, and this, tod, during a presidential campaign, to align themselves with the movement of your own political bowels? .Why, Tom Kearns, its absurd, the very idea is sickening, it reeks of the sewer, Tom, and that is where it should have been consigned John Sears, the clever young artist, whose cartoons and sketches for some time were about the only good things in the Tribune, has gone to New York to study and perfect himself in his profession. Mr. Sears gives promise of excelling in the line of work which he has chosen to follow. at its birth. DON CARLOS MUSSER. o Allan Lovey, the very clever jand cartoonist of the Herald, has severed his connection with that paper and leaves today for Butte to take a more lucrative position with the Butte Intermountain. Mr. Lovey has made a name for himself as a cartoonist. His wrork for a long time has been by all odds the leading feature of the Herald. Lovey is a young man who will one day be one of the foremost cartoonists of the country. The Intermountain gets a good thing in Lovey.

It was during the war that the possibility of using a closed circuit on a Morse instrument and transmitting sounds of the human voice by it occurred to him. As early as 1872 he interested the chaplain of the regiment. Rev. C. M. Barnes, in his theory.
