Show IT IS NOT HIS DAY. The Box Elder News, published at Brlgham City, In its issue of the fifteenth fif-teenth day of June, makes this editorial Inquiry : A'hat about the glorious 4th of Julv, will there he anything doing this year?" In another column of that paper, on the same date, appears the following answer to that inquiry TO TIFE PfBLIC. Owing to the fact that we celebrated the Fourth last year and the old folks' find liremen's excursion ; cuming su mar that date this year, it seems r be the popular sentiment that the mth SHOULD BE CELEBRATED Tills SEASON IN PACT WE HAVE BEEN INK! 'KM in THAI' 1 'KKI'A KATP NS FOB that PURPOSE ARE UNDER WAV For these reasons tho Mayor and Council have decided not to can n, public meeting to consider tho celebration f the 4th. A proclamation prohibiting the use of fireworks In Hrlgham City will be Issued next week C. HOLST, Mayor. The Mayor of darkest Brlgham t'ity must bo qualifying for an apostleship, for an editorship of one of tho church publications, or for a traveling political missionary throughout this State. His deduction that because the Fourth of Julj' was celebrated last year, It will not be celebrated this year. Is one of those peculiar Intellectual results such as only a mind steeped In treason and Idiocy can produce. The twenty-fourth of July is a great day for Utah. It marked the entranco of modern men Into these valleys. But a vast deal of Its sanctity In tho minds of Utah people has been lost because a church which inculcates brutal disrespect disre-spect of the Nation has seized the twenty-fourth, -'"id not only makes that day peculiarly Its own, but sets it up in rivalry ri-valry of the greatest day in our national na-tional calendar. However, tie- discrimination which the Mayor ol darksst Brlgham ( ity makes will be acceptable to the rest of the Itil t!8hlp of Utah The Fourth of July does not belong to his class, anyhow. any-how. I belongs to people who know what our national life stands for. |
