Show THE OLD ADAGE When Thieves and Liars Fall Out Honest People Get Their Dues < To the Editor of THE HERALD With your kind permission anti the columns of your valuable paper I would like to put the people en their guard against taking any notice of anything any-thing that would appear in the two garbage sheets of Salt Lake City viz the Tribune and Democrat The first thingthat appears to my mind is tha when public journalists thieves and liars fall out the honest public will get their lights or at least they ought tbb able to know what papers can be relied re-lied upon for honest information on the topics at home or from abroad Now sir it is hard language to use for one journal to call the other a thief and a liar 1 suppose thevjknow each other better than 1 do and I am prepared to think from their own standpoint I wish to give them credit for once speaking the troth about each other It is my opinion that either sheet would sooner lie on credit than gf t ready money to speak the truth on any subject that might be of interest to the general public I know that they have lied about the dead and I am confident that such men would steal the coppers off a dead mans eyes then kick his body becauatithey are not silver half dollars Non after this public confession of their thieving and lying I should not be astonished to see every respectable firm withdraw from their advertising columns Of course business is business but business got through the associations of thieves and liarsand this is just where they place themselvesis rather doubtful business to say the least of it For my part 1 cannot place any credit on any thing that might appear in either of the garbage rags and I think that an honest hon-est imulic will see I think the same as I do But sir I must say that I have only found in this city those that think ftnvfhinjT of pith r nnnor a MnQQ nf non 0 n ww t pIe religious bigots and intolerant politicians liticians seeking to get into office by lying cheating and a minority votes so as to get to the treasury of the people a d plunge respectable citizens and the city into debt to keep a lot of defunct generals colonels majors captains and wouldbe judges into idleness I vote no Yours for honest journalism W W |
