Show 3RM l 'II Hi !'JI I In a savage assault upon a contemporay, a few fijjH I days since, the Deseret News included these 1 ' wl f words: "We shall publish the news on all public mW" ' ' Mmk matters within our reach, and comment upon Ki- ', Jill them, too, when wo see fit. We will do this wlth- H s ii iillMm 0VL any Parsan purpose or party end in view." m' iimffl "Bold words those, but they make old-timers l j;?1!i!;a i smile. They are both ingenious and ingenuous P I ) j I M& I words, too, and coma nearer being true than words V ' IwJlIi I n ie News always are- For is true that the ;, I' fjjjfjif : News has no politics. Under the whirlwinds of B' ,'i 'jaf I r party passions, the News retires to its political K l ''fBl Vv cyclone bomb-cellar and if the noise of the storm ; it' ''illli raging on the outside over penetrates that safe re- Wm " f',llil '' treat, its sense of absolute security merely causes H ' ' Li'liw to smIle &t the turbulence on the outside. But B " ' 'fifi' . let tho Cnurch or any cnIeC or principle of the B 'MiUK S Chiirch be involved, then see it. It was so in the B 1$ Imm I article referred to. The News, for the sake of B '! fl Ififi I certains points and certain compacts made with 1 HH I' the Cuu"cn chiefs, was furiously championing a fm iHali course to pursue in the primaries. When called to fiiiSBil an accountInS took high ground. It would com- 'II franil; ment as it pleased, but on no party grounds. That H i'lll li amy was true, for the Church is not called a party. |
