Father - Ryan, to his regret, found it necessary to warn the Catholics of Salt Lake bout the "graft" business which has been agitating the Catholic people for ihn past two months. Despite all the efforts of Bishop Scanlan. the "gralt fiend" still holds the fort. The latest piece of "graft doin's" has come to light when a woman of St. Patrick's parish, well known for her kind md " generous hart, gave $S5 to the "grafter." requesting that $75 go inwards pews for the new cathedral. The "grafter" said. "Oh. two pews will ; be enough for you to donate. I can ' use the rest." And he did use the rest. but not for church purposes, possibly t for ice cream sodas and chocolate creams. Anyhow, the other $35 never fame to the church. Out at the penitentiary peni-tentiary there is a man who got two years for stealing one sack of flour and bad flour, at that). Wh-in one considers 1 hat flour is about S2.75 a hundred, and that an unfortunate is put in th penitenlary for stealing one sack of flour, one wonders what should happen in common Justice to wn individual who deliberately steals $35 It is embezzlement plain and slm-' slm-' pie. and his clothes should not ttrotect I Jiim.
