Show The Ne Orleans riot is not fairly treated by the western papers. We suppose it.is because they do cot understand un-derstand the situation exactly. The riot was between the white and colored stevedores. The white stevedores are exclusively Italian in nationality and so imperative and overbearing are they that even American laborers are not tolerated except in exceptional cases. The white people of the south hjave absolutely ab-solutely lees to do with the wojrk and S the prejudices against the nea;ro la borers than the people of Utah kae, because the real truth is the white people peo-ple per Be, are far more friendly to the tieeroes than to the Italians. However How-ever the municipal government of .New Orleans should maintain order among all classes of residents, Italians (lb well as negroes. I The Tribune of Thursday morning concluded to give that part of the Times' article bearing upon the financial con-! dition of the church and the Utah company. com-pany. It illustrates the matter with a leading article which leaves the mutter mut-ter in much denser darkness than it was before the Times wrote or the Tribune defended. Indeed Mr. Cannon Can-non will be compelled either to come to tfie front himself or to silenc9 hia advocate. ad-vocate. Things cannot go on this way long, or the very foundation stones of the temple will get up andr'ance about in their misery. It ia far better to have one able, fair and truthful enemy ene-my than a million friends upon whom y-iu cannot depend. V . 'Chaslet Crane has cooled off considerably. con-siderably. This is natural, a chairman's chair-man's duties usually cease when fce has his convention organ'zed and In working order. The admission of the Third precinct delegates without certificates cer-tificates and the election of Johc Henry Smith was all the good people had a right to expect- or Crane. Ha may sleep for the balance of the term and nobody will be the wcrse for it. i We do not see how the federal government gov-ernment can longer put off interference interfer-ence with the A. P. A. It is an organization organi-zation dealing directly with the voters and with the franchise in many ways. This is subversive and violative, both, of the federal election laws. The society so-ciety eyen mes so far as to tax the incomes in-comes of office holders which assessments assess-ments are rigidly enforced. The government gov-ernment cannot afford to overlook this matter further. They are having some good old republican re-publican times in ;Colorndo, the Tribune Tri-bune should have said. The times in New Orleans and in Colorado are very similar, only in the latter the whites seem to have the advantage while in New Orleans the Italians are stronger than the negroes. It is stiange when j the prejudices of the people last over I thirty years. j The wicked paragrapher on the Salt Lake Herald, thinks the best remedy for insomnia is regular at tendance at church. This must be mere theory because we haven't the leact idea that he was eyer inside of the sacred edifice in his life. There is no evidence of it to be found in any of hiswiitinge. It is said that the convention photo is one of rare merit, and the variety of phizes is almost endless. No two of the members resemble each other, save it be Sam Thurman and Dave Evans. Dave is indignant at the charge because be-cause he avers that Sam resembles Bill Glasmann too much. He can't stand tb.it. Compulsory suffrage is attempted by the Utah convention. It wont go down. The manhood of Utah will protect pro-tect her women and they shant be made to vote unless they want to. Me, Geokge Q Cannon can pick out a far more trustworthy champion than the Tribune. He cannot make the change a moment too soon, either. The Herald's libel Biiit is drawing to a close. The paper doesn't seem to stagger under it a bit. Bill Glasshann could make a dollar dol-lar a day by going to jail. |
