be taken as a criterion he be will at least make it wore more lively but whether the particular kind of life he be is infusing into its columns will improve the eagles 0 reputation or not remains to be seen I 1 refer to the article concerning my co correspondence in the one thing it accomplishes anti and only one it demonstrates his ablith as a and slinger and his utter uselessness as manager of a respectable newspaper his vocabulary cab of slurring invectives is is all almost unlimited judging 0 from the colossal mass of vile names he huria burls at me the abusive language lie he makes use of is beneath the dignity r of a gentleman or a respectable newspaper but like a boom boomerang eraD 9 when it fails to reach its mark it flies back iut into 0 the face of him who sent it such indecent remarks simply show his shallow brained condition and they pass we me by Is as the idle winds which I 1 respect not mr smith could make no I 1 excuse for treating his bis patrons in ill 6 an unfair in manner aliner as lie ba has 9 and when brought to au an account lie resorts to the vica weapons pODS such persons usually employ to bluff bulldoze bull doze and in insult v who ho ask only for t their heir rights mr smith came caad to Kays kaysville ville to start a newspaper if the business met men would guarantee a stipulated amount of advertising it was under understood tood that the paper wits was to be newsy and wide awak twi tk and it is stated that 1 he e promised a circulation at once of and this was to be increased to 1 1000 by the end of this year on these representations lie secured the required require d amount of advertising almost every merchant mechanic and professional man in kaysville Kays ville and layton lq aton joined in a generous support of what they believed was ivas a commendable ent enterprise cr after the first issue the paper ret graded ro rapidly until it wits was common street talk that there was nothing in it people become ashamed to let visitors to the town see what purported to be our local paper the moulder rf public opinion and when I 1 mentioned in the that there was nothing in it it was only repeating what the public had been saying for weeks meanwhile mr smith had bad gone away and instead of fulfilling his agreement to arke a good paper of the eagle he was in mona juab county drawing a salary as school teacher his wife had charge of the paper it is said the circulation has never exceeded copies weekly as to that I 1 rm nm not sure but it certainly lias bas never approached the promised to say nothing of 1000 under these conditions advertisers verti sers began to be dissatisfied several ordered their ads taken out and refused to further replenish the eagles exchequer but their objections availed nothing and the ads were kept running 7 presumably to fill up space one man went so far as to abre threaten aten a suit for damages if his card was not taken out forthwith for he be considered an adver ti Ii in such a sheet a detriment to his business that mr S has not been prosecuted for obtaining money under false pretenses is d due u e entirely to the leniency of our citizens not because lie he lias las failed to lay himself liable finally the editor went to mona also leaving a young lady and a small boy to run the whole affair to their credit it may be said they got out a better paper than some previous issues had been As for his plaintive wail that I 1 attacked the paper because it had heretofore been edited by a woman it is a rank libel on an honorable profession to say it had bad been edited at all it is a very avery ungallant act for him to behind his wife and use her as a shield to ward oft off from himself the shafts of honest criticism the professor says I 1 know nothing of rhetoric I 1 have never boasted of being a rhetorician or grammarian but one thing is apparent in mr smiths writings tiDos it if he be ever studied how to write with force and anc elegance lie he fails utterly to make use of what he has been taught his calling the CLIP CLIPPER rElt a 94 6 scrub concern not worthy of the name newspaper comes with bad grace from one who has managed such a sheet as has been described in the foregoing if lie he will compare the back flies files of the eagle with contemporaneous issues of the CLIPPER and discount his own paper 50 per cent lie he will realize that the modest bountiful paper is away in advance of the pretentious and boastful eagle 0 A newspaper if it is whitt what it should be reflects the sentiments I 1 ideas d ca s and to a great extent the
