ress of tbk city Including j the Ogdw department the Salt Lake Triune has bad considerable consider-able tai say lately about a celebration for the coming Fourths of luly The have the ° Gentile 1I idea has been to 8T jGenfiJl get up a celebratioa amd exclude all not of their political or1 ri IgKHia belief from participating the management The Mormons they Hid were not capable of managing a celebration without with-out a discord but if the Gentiles were to manage the affair exclusively Mormons might participate in it and help defray tbe expenses The matter took no definite shape however how-ever until the boys of the Fire Department began to talk earnestly about cetting up a celebration The fire companies of coun e weald expect to obtain the use ot the panlO and It I may be that they will ak the city to donate sum of money to assist In defraying de-fraying the expenses The tboucht of the antiMormons I not having entire control of the celebra lion seems to have comp U > lv turttfriJ be cranium of the Ogden Hero of the 2ril use We find the following In yesterday jseueof that heti I It is rumored that there it H profx > < i tieR to be made to the City Council this afteraoort to grant the tile of Lester Park on the Fourth to the Fire Brigade and appropriate money out of Uu city treasury to defray the expenses If this li true there are more WItS than one of making the Gentilecoutnbute to a Mormon Mor-mon celebration Now nothing but the veriest speen couldlnduce anybody but H crank to pen such a Viet of rot The writer seems to forget that the Fire Brigade is composed of men one half of whJm are not Mormons he overlooks the fact too that the celebration will benefit Mormons and nonMormons alike Another fact that is passed by il that the City Council appropriated fO to help defray the expenses of the G AK entertainment on Decoration Day betides be-tides granting tho use of L stcr Park and Pavilion In the case of the ti A R celebration we do not believe that a resident of our city complained because the city donated to help pay expenses No one accused the city of approprint tiug Mormon money to pay for Gentile celebrations and no crank raised a kick because the G A R bays accepted Mormon money to help pay expenses of their Decoration exercises McDauiels probably thought o bull doze the City Council into refusing the Fire Brigade any assistance but tin plan will not be likely to work The citizens of Ogden want n Fonrth of July celebration and the Fire Lid dies should be commended for tukmg the initiative in the matter The City Council can very appropriately aid them in their efforts and if the croker does not like it let him make all out of it nr canWe do not want to be understood a raising an objection because the G A11 had a tine and pirn ant crle brat on not because they were financially finan-cially aided in their laudable ambition I am-bition to commemorate their grand anniversary we only desire to point out tho inconsistency of the incoherent I inco-herent growl sent up by this crank who supported by the non Mormon clan of this community Pcroual and Gene aI THE POLICE Court is not in session the last few
