1 cannot think the memorial is happily conceive I 1 or that it will serve any useful purpose or be any benefit to the people of the territory of utah to whom in sonic some respects it does canty scanty s justice it states some things M and implies others which are a full justification of the gove government rii in the past and sonic some facts which seem at yaria variance ilce with tile the impatient assertions made and put the people in ill a false position of denouncing n all tile past instead of looking 0 solely to tit the lite sent and future any leng lengthy statement of my lily reasons for withholding approval roval is not necessary becal because I 1 se tile the time is is approach ili 41 is near when discussions of past differences will vill be useless and all can unite in looking to tile the future ille memorial shows tile g great reat pr prosperity rity of utah 1 but it fails to chows liow how this was readied reached under the dire oppressions oppress ions of federal control 0 60 vividly set forth the prosperity rity is a i fact and that fact may induce a relief abroad that there may sonic some in conce conception of the oppression the memoria states that to utah in tile the feelings of her people lias has been lifted from her ter humiliation and disgrace in justice to tile the lie people ople of utah it should bo be stated that their own good benso lifted thern them from what is called humiliation and disgrace yet we cannot forget that what the memorial calls the distant appointing power made laws and appointed olTi olli cors cers to exercise an influence which ca called I 1 led tile lie attention of the people to the fact th eliat a t they needed d lifting and it was under those laws and officers that the people reached the prosperity and the new conditions set fortl forth and the memorial is unjust to alie people in assuming that they flioy desire to absolutely condemn all the mea measures and agencies C of tile past the memorial says concerning U butali tall in the midst of hr her wonderful material progress 0 lier her people have recently turned their attention to t alio to questions of government an and 1 I legi legitimate I 1 politics and in espousing the c cause of one or the other of the political parties this statement does not full justice to the people and they are better belter acquainted with till the matters of if government go and politics than it applies but avith such buell a statement made it would not be bc strange if this distant ap appointing 9 power lower might 0 think it well to await u until antil a few elementary lessons were taken in those subjects before condemning all the measures of lie past and demanding 0 of the future the people who do not hold 1102 or want collico might well inquire whether this thin memorial is is a statement of friends and whether so soon after thu the arrival of the new conditions they should lie ile put into the position of denouncing all the I 1 measures ilea which have aided them to attain the new liew conditions and of finding fault because leisla legislation timi does oes not keep pace with their own changes of opinion the length 1 I of time during which tile thy colit contest was in progress 0 in utah is well known it covers more years than the number of months which have alap elapsed cal since the new conditions were inaugurated men cannot always change their opinions instantly sta st antly and governmental changes come slowly while I 1 believe the new condit conditions ioni have honestly come and that the people of utah are more worthy
