Show TWO OF A KIND the paris post misrepresents THE JOURNAL shameful shamefully ly and as there ther is one lone man in this valley who follows the same unchristian practice we quote from the post in order to set it and him aright the post says some of our so called mormon ney news s pipers papers p have done a gibat deal of harm barn to innocent readers by misrepresenting the motives of the church leaders and notably among them the logan JOURNAL all know b how ow persistently it bats baa endeavored to show the utter titter abandonment of truth and principle on the part of the leaders of the church au and their profound selfishness and determination to subordinate political interests to accomplish private purposes in the first place THE JOURNAL is not and has bas never claimed to be a church organ notwithstanding the fact that it has published ten yes twenty times the amount of church matter tabernacle sermons conference reports missionary letters etc that all other papers in cache and bear lake laka valleys combined have published it makes no hypocritical pretensions like the post but it furnishes tho the saints a great deal of good reading just the same it has defended the church authorities when the conduct of its present traduce traducer ra 8 has reflected upon their honesty and sincerity no paper in all utah his has been more loyal and friendly to the church of jesus christ of latter day saints than has THE JOURNAL and its utterances prove it when the editor of the paris post and his logan sympathizer were going about in the dark trying to make the people believe that the authorities were deceivers that they had one thing for the public and another for private ears THE JOURNAL as well as the deseret news denounced them as am slanderers slander ers and pretenders in the very beginning t the gentile editor of this paper marko ont aline a line of conduct to which it has strictly adhered and still adheres this ha been its motto THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS IS HONEST IN POLITICS AND THE TEE PUBLIC declarations OF ITS PRESIDENT ARE REGARDED AS SINCERE TUE THE JOURNAL has stood upon that platform constantly and has bag maintained its truth consistently consist antly we defy any one to point out a IV word ord or line it has uttered to the contrary unreasonable men and papers may make base assertions in contradiction but we challenge them to the proof the post knows it is lying and disgracing the mormon people by its falsehoods and so EO is any one who sym with it here is more from the post no one converted to the views of ane JOURNAL as to the political policy of our presiding authorities can posses faith in the church that is a remarkable statement now let us see what THE JOURNAL has said to which the post and its logan sympathizer take exceptions read this whenever a man went out among the people and intimated that president woodruff desired the success of one party more than another THE JOURNAL denounced the insinuation as false whenever a man whispered about that the first presidency of the church as such was interested in the success of a particular candidate THE JOURNAL expressed its disbelief in emphatic terms whenever a man sent bent misleading letters to fl members embers or officers of the church in tended intended to create the impression that the church authorities were working for a political party THE JOURNAL charged the writer of such letters with deception whenever a man has carried politics into the pulpit or priesthood meeting and sought to injure the candidates of a political party by so doing THE JOURNAL has taken him to task and it never made one bit of difference feren ce which political party these men belonged to or how high in social or religious circles they soared whenever their conduct reflected upon the honesty of the people as a whole or upon the truth of president woodruffs public declarations THE TEE JOURNAL stuck to its motto and camped upon the trail of all of offenders friders and that is one reason those who are guilty of such offenses find fault with TUE THE JOURNAL lt it has been hewing to the line although the chips have fallen upon the tha heads of powerful and determined et men it has incurred the enmity of every man who tried to make the people believe by hints hint winks god and pretended messages that president preside woodruff had it one thing for the public and another for private ears THE JOURNAL has been abused by every subaltern who falsely claimed to talk with authority from the church ir in favor of some come particular party or candidate THE JOURNAL has always maintained and still maintains that the church has no dictation or per for or its members as to aich party they shall ahall join or support eup port if a any ny one intimates to the contrary he is a deceiver if any one pretends that the chui choi ch leaders desire that members shall be in a condition to be swayed to one side or the other as exigencies may demond he is ia misrepresenting those leaders and inculcating a most dangerous us and delusive doctrine honor sincerity truth and righteousness are e essentials as in our religion and falsehood in in p politics politics is falsehood in faith alike detestable to god and to all honest men that honest sentiment is taken from the official organ of the church and believing it to be true we have never ceased to belabor the post its logan sympathizer and all who have worked among the people with hinte winks and pretended messages we have freely commented on these matters we have fearlessly criticized all who were caught deceiving 0 the people in this way we have stood upon the public declarations of the president of the church and hurled burled condemnation at every every man high or low who attempted to belie them y and thus we have incurred the displeasure of such minor officials and their journalistic defenders but what is Is J the use to bother with such a wholly irresponsible sheet as the paris post every man woman and child in cache county knows from the quotations given that it is misrepresenting THE JOURNAL every body knows that the paris post is trying to elevate itself by pulling the church authorities down to its level one fanatical editorial in a paper like the post will do the INI mormon ormon people more harm barm than a thousand skeptical outsiders people look at the post and say are those the sentiments of the tha mormon people if so they must be unreasonable bigots THE JOURNAL repeats that any man who reads the paris post or listens to a boycotter preach and thus forms his opinion or of the mormon people is doing an honest people a gross injustice the gentile gentila editor of tim THE took the manifesto on polygamy amyas aa honest and unequivocal did isaac smith so BO take it the gentile entile editor of THE JOURNAL JOL has always maintained that the church presidency is out of politics Hs has isaac smith tried to make people i believe that the gentile editor of THE JOURNAL has spoken highly of president woodruff geo Q cannon john henry smith and other leading churchmen times VI without th 0 t number in this paper Is t that hat what hat isaac smith it is mad about the gentile editor of THE JOURNAL has told eastern people that the Mormon sare are honest and sincere that they do not preach boycotts on oil gentiles that they obey the manifesto adopted 0 october 1890 and the laws and constitution of the state has isaac smith behaved himself in a way to bear us out in these assurances to the world we pause for a reply As soon a as we hear from him directly or indirectly we have a afew few pointed questions to put in the meantime ie defy these self appointed of the press to prove their assertions about the policy of this paper and bitsco its columns are open to them for that purpose let our readers mark this our traducers traduce rs will never take advantage of the offer for they have been misrepresenting THE JOURNAL and THEY KNOW IT we defy them and call upon the people of utah to watch them take water we will let the matter rest here until someone else takes it up |
