Utah, under the act of March 8, 1879. ; f G TttT NEWS ' How About A Little Criticism , Its an axiom in newspaper work that you can judge the value of a sheet by the amount of criticism it receives in letters to the editor. ' We are Often criticized in letters, but in our opinion not enough. We receive letters from missionaries in almost every quarter of the civilized world and a few places that arent civilized. We have a network of correspondents almost as complete as the New York Tribune through LDS missionaries and other friends of Brigham City. But the letters received from those - i sources usually discuss the life and problems of the people there. WHAT we want is more correspondence that presents questions about subjects in Box Elder county. If you like, tear the paper apart, in respectable language of course, wallop the city dads with words or anything else of public interest that is bothering you. The only letters we can't publish are those criticizing any religion. Politics? Wonderful That is a subject every American citizen has plenty of opinions on. Perhaps your opinions should be presented to more people than can be reached by your voice. Everyone is invited to use our Letters to the Editors column to express their opinions to the 4,000 plus readers of the Box Elder News and Journal. We do request, however, that each letter to the Editors Column be signed. 1 . Reapportionment Problem Life Was Slower 50 Years Ago ; In Brigham City The first half of the 20th century ended Monday in knarled turbulence, but old man time walked off the stage with a smile (or was it a sneer) on his face just as he did 50 years ago when he ended the 19th century. Hoping to find the issue of the Box Elder News for the first week of January 1900 to get an idea of what was going on hereabouts at the turn of the century, we dug about in the ancient files down in that dark corner in the basement. The, best we could come up with was the files of 1903 and 1904. . al-lot- ed , I " amp i 5 RECAP Massachu- Boston for the net uary 4 for Boston, were months. Their add.
