Show I THE SUTHERLAND INTERVIEW. B Representative Sutherland gave the News some B facts touching his relations with Senator Kearns B and the President. It came as no surprise to such B people of Utah as have kept watch of affairs since B Mr. Kearns bought his commission as Senator, and B bought the press to boost him or at least keep B silent about him. B It seems he went to Washington with the same B ideas that he entertains at home, which are the B same that the lady had when the tutor of her child B advised her to take the child home, as she had no B capacity to pursue the studies of the school. "Has B no capacity!" cried the mother. "How much does B your old capacity cost? I will buy one for my B child." B Our Senator has been boosted by hired press-dis- B patchers; he has been advertised to nausea by one B great newspaper, while another has been reduced B to mild praise of the Senator or to silence touch- B ing his short-comings. One is silly, the other sea- B sick over the Sutherland interview; but the people B feel relieved. They know that Mr. Sutherland is B an honest man and further see through his inter- B view that in Washington he bore himself as an B honorable self-respecting gentleman should. B They are patiently waiting for the time to come B when the President and public men generally of B Washington will estimate aright the real character H of the man who flaunts his purchased commission fl as Senator in the face of the nation, as though B there was something about it which can hide the B stains on the hand that presents it. |
