I TRU TH, Li :jji
I nARTCH CERTAINLY SHOULD RE-
J BA",W SIGN.
Somo weeks ago this paper directed
I , attention of Chief Justice Bartch
tQ thc fact that he ought to resign
from his high position on the bench.
Halms not seen At to take this ad
vice and continues to hold right on,
while a few of his friends are said to
he seriously contemplating trying to
havo his bust placed In tho Hall of
Again wo reiterate tho statement
that Chief Justice George Washington
Bartch should resign his judicial of
flce We make this statement be
cause, it is understood there are going
to be' some proceedings in connection
with the Sheba mine that will not re
dound to the credit of either Judge
Bartch, or his son-in-law Child, and
wo want tho Supreme court protected
from tho taint that will bo cast upon
it. In common with a great many citi
zens, this paper prefers to havo it said
that Bartch was "formerly a member
of the Supremo court" than to have It
bruited about that "he Is a member of
tho Supremo court; Is Its chief jus-tire."
Information given this paper is to
the effect that a suit Is In course of
preparation; that papers will soon bo
(lied and that charges against Bartch
and Child will be of a serious nature.
That It will be alleged that Child, with
the full knowledge of Bartch, obtained
permission to handle tho treasury
stock of tho company; that he sold
blocks of It at prices ranging from 75
cents per share and upward to $1.50
per share, but only turned in 30 cents
per share to tho treasury. While it is
true that commissions are paid
brokers for disposing of stock, It Is
Ialso true that no concern, ever per
mitted, knowingly, any one to make
such commissions out of its stock as
this allegation charges. And it will
bo alleged that the handling of this
stock was not done on a contract
basis, by which Child was to retain all
ho received above a certain price for
tho shares, but that the directors pre
sumed he was working in the interest
of the corporation and not of Child
fand Bartch.
In tho matter of tho De Soto mine,
tho allegations will be to the effect
that Bartch represented, repeatedly,
whilo east, that It was necessary for
tho Sheba to own that property; that
the Sheba dump was located on De
Soto ground, and It will bo stoutly
maintained that his representations
were such that people bought stock
with tho express understanding that
a part of the receipts for stock dis
posed of was to bo used in purchasing
this ground. But Bartch bought tho
Do Soto ground for himself, thus de
priving tho corporation of tho privi
lege, unless It purchased from him at
an advanced price.
It will bo alleged that tho assess
ments levied havo been used In part
In purchasing worthless claims lo
cated around tho Sheba by Child and
Bartch, tho latter as a silent partner,
for tho oxpress purposo of disposing
of tho samo to tho Sheba company,
and that Bartch and Child wore bene
ficiaries of this scheme, they controll
ing a majority of tho stock of tho
Sheba caused tho Sheba company to
purchase tho worthless claims located
. by Chllds and caused to bo Issued In
M imynieut of those claims a note of the
Sheba company to Child. Bartch,
Child, et al., then caused assessments
to be levied on the Sheba stock, and
credited tho assessments on their
stuck on tho notes held by Child, while
the other stockholders paid hard cash
for their assessments.
The problem of management will be
opened up and an accounting demand
ed. lndeedt It Is hinted that tho first
movement will be the asking for a re
ceiver for tho property, and that every
transaction will bo thoroughly gone
I
Into and opened up, much to tho dls-
comflture of Bartch and Child.
Now whatever tho outcomo may bo,
certain it is that no man resting un
der charges such as these ought to
consider himself fit to sit on tho bench.
A justice of tho Supremo court, ought
to be like tho wife of Caesar, "abovo
suspicion." A justice of the Supremo
court can keep himself above suspi
cion, if he tries. If Judgo Bartch will
not resign now, and this case Is filed,
scandal will be sure to result, because
the notoriety tho affair will bring to
Utah will be most unsavory in char
acter. Judgo Bartch's name has been
associated before with very question
able stock transactions. Ho should re
sign. Tho bar has no confidence either
In his integrity or ability. He ought to
resign without delay.
Thero Is too much of this sort of
business of high officials lending their
names for tho purpose of exploiting
doubtful schemes, and in this instance
Judge Bartch appears to havo put both
feet in tho mire. Ho declared to a
friend of this paper, soon after tho
first expose of tho affairs of tho Sheba,
that there were more character assas
sins in this section than In any placo
ho over lived. Wo direct his attention
to tho fact that a man can assassinate
his own character; that Is to say, com
mit hari karl, or suicide, by his own
actions, and wo recommend that ho
search his conscience for ovidenco cor
roborative of this statement.
No man elected to an office such
as is held by Judgo Bartch, has tho
right to engage in stock jobbing
schemes. Ho cannot be deprived of tho
right of legitimate Investment of funds
of course, but when a man starts In to
promote Investments of doubtful char
acter, ho should resign his office first.
If he does not, then ho must take tho
consequences.
We repeat: Judgo Bartch should re
sign. If he does not, ho ought to bo Impeached.

FURIOUS Ji SHOULD MAKE AC
COUNTING. Tho Tribune is daily roasting tho
president of tho Mormon church for
not making a public accounting of the
tithing. Tho Tribune should begin at
home. Let its chief editor, Furious
J. Cannon, make public tho amount of
tithing ho squandered trying to make
success of tho Ogden Standard. Lot
him tell tho public how much tithing
ho tried to got on Interest coupons he
clipped from tho Saltalr bonds. Lot
him tell also who stopped him from
obtaining tithing on theso Interest
coupons. Would Mr. Cannon bo dally
crying through the Tribune for a pub
lic accounting of tho tithing if ho had
his old pull on that fund and had been
successful In fleecing the church in
his effort to collect Interest on cou
pons that already belonged to tho
church?
