Show I EXCITED CONTEMPORARY. Out highly excited contemporary, the Heald-Eo?ublIcn, issued an editorial plaint nearly three columns in length yeaterd&y morning, (bauod on a story printed in Thfl Tribune's newa, columns of October 20, 1918. Though nearly six months have elapsed since tho publication, pub-lication, yesterday's was tho first no-tlco no-tlco taken locally by that paper. In order that tho publio may bo awnro of tho Horald-Eopubllcan 's cause of Cflcf, tho item is reprinted. It ran: C. W. Klbley haH been Helocted na mm head of tho advisory board that dl- recta the policy of the Horald-Ilenub-(lean. No announcement hna been mado of Mr. Nlbley'a appointment, but It la an open secret In newspaper j find business circles that he has been mm Riven tho last word -In determining j what uliall be the editorial policy of mm that paper. . , Mr. Nlbloy la presiding blanop of the Mormon church, and In that ca-mm ca-mm pneity hna Ida time so fully occupied that he Is not expected to devote much attention to the newspaper mm other than to direct Its policy. B. H. Calllster, recently mado gen-erel gen-erel manager, haa charge of the U business activities of tho paper. Tho Hcruld-Itcpublican, aftor .six months of silenco at home, doclares: "This untruth first appeared in tho columns of Tho Salt Lnl:o Tribune, which knew it to bo false." The TribiiQO admits tho first pub-ligation pub-ligation of this news. Its information came from gentlemen of financial prorainonco and unquestioned veracity, who wero assured by Sonator Reed Smoot that a committee, with Bishop K.bloy at its head, had been given con-troi con-troi of the policy and destinies of the paper. Tho Tribuno believed then and it believes dotv that Senator Smoot was telling the exact truth -tvhon ho pave these gentlemen that nsmirnnco. Tho policy of this paper had become so ob-jcctionablo ob-jcctionablo even to thoso who desired to be friendly to it that action of some sort was required. It was be- Hj licvod by Senator Smoot thut the so-lection so-lection of Bishop Nibley would quiet HJ tho criticism of the paper, and he was Hj designated for that reason. "Further-more, "Further-more, Mr. Nibloy'H selection was pub-liclv pub-liclv regarded as markiug a step for-ward for-ward to a better basis for that paper. The Herald-Hepublknn insists that The Tribuno furnished this story to the Fourth Estate, a New York trado rnbliiation. This is entirely untme, as .s tho llorald-Bepublicnn'ft statement that the Fourth Estate "withdrew the Hj atntcmcut when convincod it was in error " "What the Fourth Estate did was fn publish a denial of the stor', f-Ui.ibfl b.r (he llomld-Rcpublican, I t never given publication iu Salt I.nl-r.
