Show BOTH SIDES OF TOE QUESTION the ENQUIRES has received the following communication from a aromi liberal of prove referring to an editorial in last saturdays issue As this is a free country and the ENQUIRER a free journal we publish the gent lemans letter in full it is as follows I 1 editor J in your leader of April referring to justice homers decision iu the case of Provo city va emil lund for working on sunday I 1 do not believe due justice has been given him and I 1 feel it my duty in ahia instance aa one of those justices of tho peace liberal that was elected at the time spoken of and from the change of venire was taken iu that case to justice homer to address this letter to yui As a gentile and a liberal Libe ial I 1 have endeavored to perform my duty without lear or favor from either party and while I 1 remain in office expect to preserve my manhood without favor from either mormon or gentile the government of city would be just as safe in gentile hands as in the hands of the mormon people aa aie other great cities and small tolua in this world whence cometh the mer chandise chan dibe that the stores are full of today whence cometh the gold and silver coin that pay for them whence cometh thy books ot learning and whence cometh bihy ihy printers press that prin teth my statements echo answers from cities aau towns louled by gentile government the utterances made in the referred to are unjust there is no doubt the was committed aud personally I 1 in sunday laws boing good not only in paying respect to who desire to keep the sabbath but also tor good government and for the advancement ot a higher train of thought and civilization and that those why to be quiet need not be disturbed and is aico necessary for a daiy diy of rest the human family the kiil aei are to be in their motives in enacting laws but for the of the whole and at alie same time preserve proper dignity fur tho protection of peace and quietness and to establish such law a to maintain that condition as far ua possible without infringing on mhd just rights of each other and todo bo it becomes necessary to make laws consistent to the condition required justice homer did what in his judgment would be just not thiamine thi akine at the S frame time that the city ordinance made a special limit in a fine for the of fehse he committed an error it was not to do any injury to any one or to break down law and order the attorney who prosecuted tor the city a mor mod told me himself that he never eluted a case that went more against nim than did the prosecution iu that cabe that he did nut believe in sunday law as in his opinion it was that being the case justice bouier certainly could not be more than human and possibly entertained the same view as the prosecuting attorney attorn ej if alie law is unjust it should be repealed or amended so as to make it y just and in harmony with the condition of alie society it is made to control certainly mr editor it is unjust to attack a pany for aliat was au error of a person it is straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel it is not a just criticism A justice of the peace provo city judge NOON agrees with us thai sunday law is the proper thing and that its observance is necessary to a higher train of thought aud civilization a very liberal concession from a liberal and ho futter moro admits that justice HOMER made a mistake in bining tho man who broke the sabbath but Ltha fc is ho admits it was not according to law tho only point of material difference to the question at issue is our bla liberal party for what justice HOMER did as MR NOON maintains it was an unintentional mistake on the park of that gentleman our corres says that justice HOMER did what in his judgment was right so the law does not figure prominently in the question of debate it is the judgment and nature of the liberal that we call into we say that the case referred to is a fuir J example of what the liberals would do for brov io case they gain control according to the best judgment of the justice to break the sabbath would then bo a crime that simply necessitated a fina of one dol lar V ith such great restraints who would dare 0 o break the sabbath tho ENQUIRER maintains that the lit erdl party generally disregards the sanctity of the sabbath besides the casi tried m justice couri we may perhaps be permitted also to produce as evidence the liberal rule in salt lake sinco abo party went into power there has nut been a sur piss that those who felt so deposed could not obtain drinks at the befaro ibe indignation movement of respectable citizens the liquor tramm was almost as open on r sunday as on a week di iv Much th samo could be witnessed in iii 3 the days of liberal rolo bearding Ke arding the arro giat position taken by justice now when he soars oaf on the strain of whence come th the gold aad silver and whence com eth the bydus of learning etc we A hardly make mention even though we had the apace all liberals roay be gentiles but thank the lord all fontilea Gon tilea are not liberals |
