Show THE PUBLIC PULSE j Communications under this head are published pub-lished on all proper subjects at the responsibility responsi-bility of the writer theThe ITo I The Old and the New To the Editor of TIlE HEEALD Believing that THE HEUALT > is what It has long professed to be a free and Independent I Inde-pendent organ so far as any church is con cGrnod and also believing that Its columns are open for the exprossion of any opinion t n questions of public interest whether Iuch opinions are expressed in an orthodox manner either politically or religiously or not I desire to express through columns n few thoughts that I believe will provo of public interest It is not my purpose to advocate the Home Rule bill or the admission I admis-sion of Utah as a state nor is it my purpose pur-pose to criticise the acts or opinions of anyone any-one clso for the purpose of faultfinding for I believe that you will agree with mo that TO as c community have already suffered suf-fered enough from that source What I t dosiro to announce is that the civil war 1 is now asout ended in Utah that conditions have oh nod I wish thrt I could claim the same for all men aud that thero is now scarcely any excuse for tho bitterness and hate that has BO long existed in Utah between the Mormon and nonMormon and the sooner that fact in generally realized real-ized and acted upon the sooner vro will onjoy the bounteous blessing that nature has so plentifully supplied us with I am probably one who would be classed by a portion of the community as n mossback moss-back having been born and reared In this territory I havo heard it expressed by wrly intelligent men who have only roo aided in Utah for a short tine that thoro was no hope of any enterprise or progress from parties who had long been residents of this city and that the correct policy ivonld be to shelve all old residents and bavo none but new men in office who are progressive 1 nm as ready as any one tot to-t ko off my bat and fUIUTE ALL NEW AEH1VALB who will demonstrate by their acts thai they arg men of enterprise and pubHs I spirit but simply the tact thai they are from Colorado Is 1 not sufficient to con I vlnoo uio thaI thoy possess all tho estorpri and pnbila spirit that this country csciaus i do not wish to deny any credit due bc nror men who have rcccntlj cast iiIr 1st ivJth ours End who by their I t octcrpri and irveetmaux of capital have shots than ucblud the wealth and popula kll of tklA I city but as one of the older I residents I do resent the expression that EO enterprise or public spirit can be expected ex-pected from an old resident for tho facts do act warrant any such opinion Having losided In Utah for a period of thirtynino yoAri I think that I can consistently claim to bo well acquainted with the older residents resi-dents of this city and territory and while I t Lave not been a member of the dominant church or Identified in a political sense with members of said church during the last twenty odd years I have still been mere or less actively engaged in business that has biought me in personal contact P with the roost prominent men both in business and ecclesiastical positions and I Lave never found it necessary to suppress my manhood and independence of charactor to succeed in business although by tho way I am not at present millionaire and from my acquaintance with other ChrIs tin denominations I am of the opinion that the Mormons have shown ac much TOLERAKCE JLND CHAniTT towards those opposed to them as any other denominations would be likely to show under un-der like conditions and 1 am of the opinion opin-ion that the Mormons proven fealty and loyalty to his religious convictions under tho most trying conditions is the bost of evidence of what his fealty and loyalty will be to the laws and institution of his country now that his church is being brought Into harmony with the laws governing gov-erning the republic of the United States All parties who are acquainted with the early settlement of this territory need not be informed that it was not settled by n wealthy class of citizens but as a rule tho pioneers of a country aro proverbially poor and taking into consideration all the circumstances there is certainly much credit duo the older residents of this territory terri-tory for what they have accomplished I claim now that Utah Is about ready to take her place in the sisterhood of states and has felt the vivifying influence of new blood and increased wealth that the oldest residents are fully abreastwith the new in nil public enterprises and that they are working ns earnestly for the development and advancement of the material interests of the territory na the now men are and I challenge contradiction of that claim ELI B KELSEY SALT LAKE Crrr April 29 1892 What lone Tail Our Cats Got To the Editor of THE HERALD One signing himself One In Doubt fires a shot at the Latterday Sanits through the columns of our morning contemporary Though it smells of brimstone the shot is harmlessit has been fired before Subjoined Sub-joined is the opening paragraph and it reminds re-minds one of the fellow who ran a mile to gather such impetus as would enable him to jump over a fifteenfoot wall ho didnt jump EDITOR TRIBUNE The sacrilege committed in thepresence of a large congregation or misled mis-led religious enthusiasts misnamed Latterday Saints in the renowned tabernacle dedicated to the worship of God and the proclaiming of truths eternal by the fruitless efforts of the speakers chosen of the authorities of this the centre stake of Zion upon last Sunday afternoon after-noon to prove a comparison and slmiar experience ex-perience alike between the apostles of the days of Christ and the twelve men nuw called apostles of a nonpolitical organization called Latterday Saints Is what Did what Here are a dozen cr more lines of subject and modifications without either predicate or object As Judge Claggett intimated to his son William Wil-liam of Idaho If youre going to write yourself a fool dont stop half way but be a bell of a fool What IB the predicate of sacrilege and what the object As the subject sacrilege is the actor or doer in this long sentence what aid it do and if Intended to be a transitive sentence upon what did the escaped predicate actfor surely both the predicate and object got clean away and are yet in hiding in the confines of the mountain fastnesses of the doubters brain This doubter banns St Paul all hollow The great apostle starts out with a subject In one of the early churches and after passing tho threequarter pole In numerous paragraphed modifications of the subject comes out a winner with the predicate placed three thousand nonpareil distant from the subject with the object just a neck ahead he jumped the wall slick and clean Now if Ono in Doubt will go to night school a few sessions amend hie composition compo-sition and hire an intelligent typewriter we who are gentiles of the stricter sort would like him to hire n hall and toll us what ho intended to say about that sacrllegcf he intended anything STAcrflUMUNDEU |
