| Show then yo yon Can Pitch in tho the leader noted a few days since sinde that the fernald in question whose liberal allowance of alimony allmon y 9 0 aled to the tho pem removal ovill of judge merean mckean from the tile supreme bench of the tho united states court in utah had chad been engaged to deliver a lecture at moan station on the cleveland and pittsburgh raila railway rail rall way wai ay this paper in an editorial on that subject jc t referred frankly to the ladys ladya life ilfe and reputation a course which appears iipp lipp ears to have rather startled some of bf the sloan station people from the tho serenity with which they have bave been contemplating the coming r intellectual feast on tho the social status of brigham young voting ab she bhe 0 had bad been engaged to lecture for the tho sunday school and the sunday school at sloan station does not want to bo be mixed up in any scandal even BO so near home as iowa or missouri though it would nat object to a benefit on the condition that the twin reile relic of barbarism not to call it wickedness prevail s in the seir self styled state of deseret I 1 otherwise known as the territory of utah the tile consequence of its rude awaking was the tho following little communication which was read with much inte interest in I 1 his office as it doubtless will be at dian sian station and vicinity as well as in our favorite suburb of Steu steubenville benville SLOAN STATION 0 6 march 19 1875 cb editor leaden leader dear sir the committee have engaged to lecture for us on the and oth 2 of april at this place and Steu steubenville benville we ba have havo vo engaged her tier at a very large price proceeds i if ir any to go to the sabbath school your leader of march 17 is calculated te to do us harm as your paper lias has a pretty large circulation here and vicinity we are not mrs mr a advocate or defender do nob not wish to lose money would like it better if the tiie balance was in our favor would it be beas asking hing klug too of sou jou as a journalist to hold up tip until our lectures aro are ovel Th then enyou you sou call can pitch in as hard alfou as sou you like if you can do this much for us you can consider uso ubo your friends for the future and we will help heip the sale of your youir paper all we can and in addition to this ibis you can send us twenty cop copies coples lesof of the leader commencing april I 1 up to april 20 for gratuitous distribution isyou if you sou conclude to do this address package by mail daily to lowith with with bill for full fuli amoun tWe as assure lire you that wo we will use papers discreetly and to your advantage hoping to hear from you soon and that you will pardon our asking this favor we remain yours youre respectfully address the leader does not desire to injure the financial prospects of the sloan station sunday school nor would it willingly gi give teady teany reaDy any resident ef of that place or friend of the cause unnecessary distress but its motto is an old one illet let justice bo be done though the heavens fall and while it has no such vain ambition as to attempt to raze the celestial archway to a levei level with sloan station on the C P road yet it does believe and must insist that is not one who should go about flinging hinging stones s at women of less than her hen intelligence who may have been blindly entrapped into that which she seeks see ksor or has sought with undimmed vision and with the vision of or its consequences before the open eyes of hei hek herself self a woman of mature years and somewhat of worldly experience nor isor does this thia believe that the tiie sunday school cause of america can cali gain any profit proal t by the tho encouragement of such women and on entertainments ter ten tain ments as those in question though it may bo be that the gate money bo be equally divided between liers herself elfand and tho the schools what doth it ift profit the sunday school cause that it ift should put money in its missionary box while at tho the same i time it indorses endorses indor ses and sustains a shameless personage would no not the balance be still found against t that sunday school which would risk its power for doing good by placing its reputation in the keeping of unclean hands what mone money Y balance would be sufficient to weigh in tho the scale with such suell a co condition adit on of afi airs but what temptation is this held out to lead the leader into silently consenting to this sin which even the writer of that sloan station letter cannot excuse except on a money basis no journal should be in trusted with the power supposed to be represented by the leader as a censor of all public events if it may fhay bo be induced by soft words to hold off comments on till after the damage has been done and then them pitch p etch itch in and blame where it had been a silent participant to the wrong perpetrated then there aront is t the a bribe held out in addition to the soft words and pleadings that twenty copies of the leader should bo be paid for and gratuitously circulated at sloan station daily for twenty days r say ay gay four hundred papers which might be considered of consequence sequence con equen ce in such a community as t that b at it is not much of a bribe offered ered but it is enough and quite as effectual as a 1 greater one would be to buy over the leader to advocate or silently consent to what it believed to be bia a a wrong this paper does not seek to extend its circulation even in sunday school circles by withholding its censure from what it believes to be a wron wrong let the leader and and the t le sunday school and the salva tion of sloan station stand upon their own merits and upon the truth let the consequences eb what they may if they er or either elther one of them cannot stand upon on the truth tru th let iet le them all go upa d down n together e r or singly as they may but the leader will speak its opinion and when it thinks the sunday school wrong which it does now or wh when en it thinks unworthy to stand among tho the young and the good or the aged and the good it will say so whatever beta befall I 1 the su sun n day seh seb school ool or th the e lecture or the circulation and neither soft words nor appeals for the benefit of the balance nor extra copies shall cause it to remain silent and witness the wrong with privilege ege ego to pitch in a after the evil ha has 9 been perpetrated perpetuated there thero is no practical use of pi pitching telling in after the deed has been done but after all what w hat damage has been done this item will possibly prove proven a much better advertisement s for and fill the houe ho u e better than silence wohld would ba have bave v e done but that is so no
