Show A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. The soventy-cighth semi-annual conference con-ference of tho Mormon church will convene con-vene in this city on next Friday. We aro glad to call attention to tho fact, first, because on its account many welcome wel-come visitors will be hero; and, secondly, second-ly, for the reason that heroin is presented pre-sented to an esteemed contemporary the groatest opportunity that has yot occurred oc-curred in its long and evilly industrious industri-ous career. Between now and the timo of issue of its usually oxccllcnt Saturday edition, edi-tion, there is ample time for the Descret News to got into typo and print all of the testimony which President Joseph F. Smith 4gavo at Washington in March, 1904 overy line of it, we mean. Somo parts of that testimony are favorable to tho cause of tho church president and to that which is represented in tho Nows. And, of courso, some of it is not quito so favorable. But tho Mormon people aro entitled to have a copy of Mr. Smith's Washington testimony, in its entirety; and there could not be a more ideal timo for presenting it to them than in tho coming Saturday issue of tho News. With the people right on the ground, tho church organ can mako delivery to them of a mammoth edition without approhonsion lest accident to tho mails would causo bouio miscarriage. Besides, there would be saved the item of postage. And, again, patrons of the paper would be inclined to do a little extra advertising, if they knew that such an interesting issue was to be emitted. The Tribune is not quito sure ,but that it would itself give every assistance as-sistance toward boosting this particular issue. Come, let tho Mormon people havo the Smith testimony absolutely all of it during this conference. They are good men and women, and they deservo to know what aro tho utterances aud sentiments of the man whom they revere re-vere as their prophet, seer, and revelator, revela-tor, and as an exemplar to all the world. And the Mormon people would be willing will-ing to pay for it, too. |
