Livesey, the alleged reformer who has been scattering bis iconoclastic literature broad-cast iji this State, In his letter Mr. Livesey writes a deal more dccentlv and respectably than a perusal of bis Reformer would lead one to expect. ex-pect. The article in question can be found on the next page. From it we venture to dissent in a number of particulars. In Ihe first place, Mr. Livesey can not teo why the writer, an unchurched man and a Nm-Monnon, Nm-Monnon, should be the, iirst to publicly reply, etc. The fact thut we replied llrst is probably the result of accident, and thai we ventured a reply nt all id partially par-tially due to our desi.e to not ttand idly by and seo a people of whose hospitality we have partaken unjustly abused. We do not think any of the Mormon leaders are afraid of a controversy. contro-versy. The probable reason of the Deseret News' failure to reply re-ply was that its available supply of sophistry and invective was devoted lo the editor of Tbe Independent that week. As to whether or not the Mormons are sincere in their beliefs we do not think Mr. Livesey n competent judge. There may have been u variety of reasons why Elder White could not reply, aside from n possible one of not being sincere. sin-cere. The writer has lived among the Mormons lor over two years, and has associated with them in their home, social and .business life, and has no complaint of insincerity to make that he cannot justly apply to church people the world over. We believe tht a residence lor a time umong the Snints would convince Mr. Livesey that he does them injustice. The lament quoted of Georgt Q Cannon is heard in eveiy other church, so that it is no criterion in this particular. We confess that wo fail lo see the efficacy of abuse as a means of conveying conviction to a inan'a mind, as advocated by Mr. Livesey- As for the Elders using it in their proselyting, an authentic instance has yet to be brought to our notice. There may be churches which would welcome and applaud Mr. Livesev's efforts, but we can truthfully plead ignorance regarding re-garding them.

When he s not chronicling the happenings oi'his town in a charming way peculiarly bis own, Editor Howard of the Salina Tress Usually divides liis time between going fishing and fun-making. Howard has a great knack for saying funny tilings, and since the lishiug down Sal i uh wny' lias petered out he has bad to seek other ways of spending his time, and amusing things have crept into the columns of the Pi ess tolerably toler-ably regular. Last week's Picsscontninedaii article or two which indicated that Howard is also a moral sort of a fellow.- These aiticles mnind us of the c hoice little bits which seasoned the innocent in-nocent works of fiction which the writer in his youth used to secure, from a- Sunday School library and read and ponder ever after meeting. Howard is a great reader of ihe Oskosh Christian Advocate, and wo suspect sus-pect that a perusal of that high ly moral publication lent him inspiration for the following remarks re-marks on young men: "A visit to many of the orchards or-chards in Seveir county discloses dis-closes the fact th it a large per cent of bearing trees are seedlings. seed-lings. Tho fiuit from such sloc,k is of a nondescript sort, non-maiketable, not oven adapted adapt-ed to making cider. Such trees should be cut down mid choice grafted slock suhstitutf d. They only occupy valuable space in the orchard and bring in no revenue re-venue lo their owners. . And this reminds us of something else. The country is becoming tilled with worthless boys and young men seedling, if you please. They are growing up all about us growing up tilled with prunes and sin and gen eral damnation. We do not ml vocato their removal ft om earth, but for God's sake do not Id the lace increase. Let us have only gralti'd fruit. It is the fault ol parents that their children grow up with liitleor no education and in later years become vagrants, vag-rants, tramps nml bar-room bums.

The buy who is trained to follow a sheep herd will eventually be a sheep him-self him-self afid a black sheep at that. The b y h ho is kept out of school and jonnitted to roam the streets at night will degenerate into a tgh, an incubus upon society, n driveling fool who wilt bring disgrace upon himself and upon his patents. The graving mind demands employment. It should hediiecled into a healthy channel. The youth of L'laii is to become the future glory of ihe Stale. It requires careful nourishment, wondrous care, painstaking' culture, common sense advice. Let us have more grafted stock.'' The above is a pretty severe arraignment, but it don't jam ;i truth home like the following follow-ing does. Howard probably reads Sam Junes' sermons, when all else tails. Listen : ' The editor of The Press is not a very close observer. Still there are some things which never escape his notice. A man who doesn't s-e some things ol a peculiar nature in . a com-, inunily where be has made his home for a number of year--, would be blind. Here is something some-thing which The Vress man has frequently observed. Perhaps i: is human nature, and human nature is the same the world over. Let a well-dressed young man from the city stop oil' in any country town, and, perhaps quite unconsciously, be sows iced which when barves'ed, up sets all old-time notions.

There will be a demand for more stylish garments and a labored effort made to establish a sort of local aiistocracy. There is nothing wrong about it. Human beings are imitator.; so are monkeys. But again: A foul bred youth concludes to locale lo-cale in one of the country towns He may be a lawyer, a drummer, a doctor, a gambler anything goes. He (hisses with taste, bis manners are gay. He ogles the girls they think him divine. He ingratiates himself intotheii confidence and affection. He Hies high, lie -is full of gall. Time passes. Tough stories ure told of wild orgies held at unsoemly hours. Town boys and girls, always cons deied models of virtue, commit overt indiscretions and become targets against which the javelins or scorn tire hurled. Shame and sorrow come to fond parents. Tire town is snecringly alluded to by decent people in other settlements. The lewd masher spread the seed which corrupted tho town. The young men and the young women imitated his ways. The one rotten apple spoiled the whole heap. The influence for good or bad which a stranger can exert upon a community is something won: derful It is human nature to go to the bad when beckoned on and encouraged by the proper sort of of a captain. Strange, loo isn't it?" Provo, the county seat, will have to lie getting a move on itself.
