Show - PSHAW! The Nettm complains that The Times obtained ob-tained "an item iu regard to a suit planted by Powers & Hii.es against the treasurer of Salt I.ake City,'' under circumstances which lay somebody open to the charge of discrimination against our esteemed contemporary. con-temporary. In justice to all concerned we desire to say that the item in question was obtained through the diligence and intelligence intelli-gence of The Times reporter without the connivance of anybody. When The Times gets on the scent of an item it hunts it down lo its source and publishes it ahead of all its .tontemporarie8. That is the whole secret of 'die case, and the whole secret of the success which The Times has ac hieved a a newspaper news-paper from the hour the present management manage-ment took possession of it. The Afam Heed not feel sure about it because if it is ecooped by Tn Times in every issue it only f hares the fate, of all the other city papers. The Times is bound to be ahead. So far as the further statement in the iYrtOJ Is concerned that Judge Powers "is financially finan-cially interested" in this paper, all we have to say in regard to it is that it is a base, miserable mis-erable lie, without the shadow of a pretext even for it. If the .Vmvs is an honest paper, as we hope, and was led into the error im-wittingly, im-wittingly, we expect it will retract the statement. state-ment. And while we are about it we might es well add that nobody outside of the malingers mali-ngers of The Times are financially or otherwise other-wise interested in it, and any statement to the contrary is a malicious fabrication. |
