Show THU Itl.l'L'III.lL'AN AllVlMtriSDJtr.NT Hlys tho garrulous and light hradod Ogden correspondent of the Iilboral organ: "When tho official Church organ of thu Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Hilnti goca into this camuiigu and advises the election of a certain randldite; docs thla look na If the Church were outnf politic,?" We presume the writer bases his latterqucry upon his former assertion, and that in the'former he refers to the Duicitrrr Xr.vs. If ;, wo beg to say Without unduly llitterlug the correspondent by njtlclng him at all that his premises beln utterly false,hls conclusion Is grotoiuoly Illogical n.ld hence tumbles to the ground Interrogation Interro-gation point, ubordlnate sentences, capital letters, rytumlo sequence aud all. Tim extent to which the NrwS has gono "Into this campaign and advised tho election of n certain candidate," Is this: It haa published In Its soml.wcek-)y soml.wcek-)y lasuo a full page wleertiKiixtnt, plainly marked as tuoh, for the territorial terri-torial Itepubllcau committee; and ad-virllscmcnt ad-virllscmcnt containing nothing dlsre-ixcttul, dlsre-ixcttul, nothing malicious, nothing Inttroperate or lmpror from the Journalistic standpoint, and cirtalnly nothlngthat could be called oljectlon-able oljectlon-able from the Itepubllcan or any other advertising standpoint. The Nnws "has gono Into this campaign" to this further extent: It Informed tho territorial terri-torial Democratic committee of what their opponents were going to Uo and did do, showed them tho matter that had been publlthed, mid, with n modtat word as to the value of thu Xuwa as sn advertising medium, offered them a page of thu Ui:ui-Wkekly Ui:ui-Wkekly at tho tame price a high figure, It may teem to tome, but very reasonable Indeed when the circulation of the paper aud tho number of homes I tenters are taken Into consideration. Thus far and no farther hai the Nr.u.i "entored thlt campaign nud advised the election of n certain candidate" can-didate" We will be pardoned for anylug that in our humble opinion tho two candidates or their friends could not send their campaign money In any better way than In using theNnu R advertising columns for the presentment present-ment of their respective claims to popularity and for advice as to the ticket to be tupported. Hut to attribute t,u this paper tbo view expretsud by Its patrona In the columns tbey pay for Is too absurd for serious notice; while to charge, the Church of which this paper la tho organ with being In politics because of the sentiments expressed ex-pressed by certain advertisers It as ludicrous at It would be to tay thu Church had announced Itself In favor of a general purgo because tome medical medi-cal patrons aro ermltted to urge the effectiveness of this ur thu other special brand of pills. |
