Show conference AND ANND BUSINESS tim THE anti antl I 1 press is showing n its fangs over the determination of the general authorities of the church to hold hoid the ensuing general conference at logan cache county int in ift place of in this city the amusing feature of the circumstance is that the most ridiculous efforts are being made to show anat mormon bus business iness men are highly indignant over the matter on the ground that conference has always been looked upon as a sort of harvest for them of late years from to people have flocked here from all parts i of the tile irocky mountain reelon region to the chief city of the saints A great deal of business has been done many of the stores during the general conf conferences er having been crowded with purchasers at the spring sessions espee tally the traffic in wagons and agricultural machinery has been something immense it has been customary for a great deal of money to change hands As a matter of course the change of location extinguishes this business effect fact baethe but the claim that mormon merchants are specially dissatisfied re garding it Is highly entertaining of course they wiit wilt will especially in these times when the general depression has been deepened and ir creased increased by the ant antl 14 1 4 mormon crusade more or less feel the effects of the change but it falls upon the hon business bustness circles with a much greater weight the latter have nothing whatever to compensate for any business loss that may accrue in consequence this Is not the case with the latter day saints they conform cheerfully to any condition no matter how it may affect their personal comfort or profit L f that Is beneficial benefic lal lai to the religious organization animation aniza tion of which they form a part ghis this this self sacrificing spirit has been a conspicuous characteristic of the community comin cornin commin unity from the organization of the church till now and will continue to be for all time there may be regret on the part of some of i 1 the brethren that circumstances are such as to render the change of place for holding the conference advisable but there is no disposition to nind find fault faulb with the action of the authorities in the matter but to sustain it it is asserted by the anti antl mormon I 1 press with a lack of ingenuity in its lvin lying that is astounding that dissatisfaction is Is so pronounced among some sonic of the mormon business men that they purpose holding a confere conference nce in this city anyway this is refreshing it amounts to chargin charging those who entertain such an idea with a condition akin to insanity Only fancy such a burlesque attempt every latter day saint knows that nobody could summon enough people on such an under undertaking to constitute a corporals guard I 1 the idea of basing a call for tor a general conference of the church on the ground of business dissatisfaction with the location of the one oue called by the constituted authorities is so supremely absurd as to entitle ike ibe the individual who expressed it to a place in the catalogue of cranks those who would undertake such a proceeding might call a conference of the saints but in giving the invitation they would be ilithe in the predicament of the man who claimed that he could call spirits forth from the vasty deep but they come has bus ever thought of such sucha a thing it is only one of the thie absurd ideus that are being clumsily advanced by the anti antl mormon press on the subject of changing the location of the general conference it Is whistling with all hit its might to keep up its courage because the business ghost of the anti mormon r crusade keeps intruding i its t gaunt and hi hideous jaous presence before its aff righted affrighted gaze of course it do to tell teil how the non mormons cormons feel in relation to the ahe change of place for holding the conference it might be explained however that they are very indifferent on the subject and that a matter of money is of no moment to them because great pains was taken by the organ of slander to express for them their allege alleged ct sentiment on the business result of the antl mormon crusade much care was also taken by one of the editors to spread this alleged feeling before the tho country by bi means of the telegraph wire it was to the effect that non II mormon Mor merchants had expressed themselves to the tile effe effect c t that business might be d d and that the crusade should go on it was then as now however no names appeared appeared
