Show independent IS RATTY alio utah independent did not like us telling it some iliin facts a couple of weeks ago it will be remembered that the independent presumed to dictate to the how it should bo run by saying it should not copy from tho tribune and then tho with the logs of the good will of its subscribers bers if it did not do as the independent wanted it to we told tho independent to mind its own business but it seems that is an impossibility further in our we showed that wo had treated the tribune exactly as we had treated any kotlier paper the tribune had said lots of good bilings for dixie and we copied them and was glad to do so the same as wo gladly copied an good that was said of dixie in any other paper did we copy anything from the utah independent not a for the utah independent did not have an tiring good to say for dixie As we reminded it in our article of the ard 3rd inot when other papers were helping dixie with its fruit festival by boosting it and saving good things about dixie the utah independent was one of the few among newspapers and journals in this state that did not have some kind words for dixie and we evidently hurt alic utah independent when we told tins for it overlooks it entirely and asks us if we cop from the tribune because it said certain things in 1905 now we are perfectly willing to enter into an amiable discussion the rutih independent if it knows what it is talking about and will stick to the point jumping the ciuch tion like it docs and raking in questions that are not at issue is very poor journalism if the independent cannot do better alian that it should shut up however we do not mind telling the butali independent in to its questions as to our approving of what the independent says the said in 1905 that in that year we were publishing a newspaper at a point in central idaho about one thousand miles from st george and did not sic Q any time that 5 car but that makes no difference whatever under no circumstances would we answer tho utah independents as they have nothing to do with the points at issue which are tho utah independents right to dictate to w and its t authority to answer for our subscribers bers wo notice one thing in alie quck tion put to us by alic utah independent regarding what it gas the said in 1905 aliey all refer to the cormons mormons Mor mons and the butali independent is fighting tooth and nail so it makes out for the mormon people and doing its level best to keep the impression constantly before alio people all over this broad land that utah is divided into two bitterly opposed factions alie mormon and tho gentiles the utah independent 13 simply gushing over lovo for the P S mormon church and its follow f ers its a mystery to us why the editor of the utah independent docs not join that church the utah independent says tho editor of tho COUNTY is mad if tho independent had used alic word disgusted instead of mid it would have come nearer the truth and we are anoro disgusted than ever to gee the utah independent rehashing a lot of trash winch it sai s alie tribune published in an effort to build up a cabe we cannot see that this fine art of rubbing an old sore which the utah ins mastered to perfection is doing any good but on alio contrary wo believe much harm is being done to utah by such methods and wo further believe that tho newspapers and magazines engaged in it know this perfectly well and simply keep it up to pander to prejudices that had better be left to die out better for alie state and each man woman and child in it let no man be too ready to judge ins neighbor harshly what may be a cry easy thing for ono man to do may be an exceeding hard thing for another perhaps an impossibility A mans intentions may be of

to prevent them one man may make a big talk about how lie strives to do the right things and the eglit bilings are always good things man will strive equally as hard but say nothing about it alie credit is usually given the one who makes himself heard it was always so and we suppose it always will bo eo it is human nature no two men are alike A man may bo as brave as a lion in battle act not
