body of an artt artl article elb elt that appeared in the satt salt lake tribune in which that unscrupulous sheet attempted to throw vile and untruthful ahful aspersions upon mormon men generally our article took up vp the other side and the consequence was a decided flutter flatter where the truth struck home the tribune of yesterday morning came back at us and presented a feedle feenie attempt at a reply our readers reader can judge for themselves whether it exhibits lo logic tc facts and vigor or whether it res resembles a sound between a yelp anci and a whine from a whipped whooped something sneaking off with ears on a horizontal nor line and caudal appendage depres depressed ad I 1 the NEWS pictures cletur es the vilest sort of a person and ask asks s the young women of utah if they want to marry a in man an of that stripe this may mav be entertaining to the news but hardly to its read readers ers and especially not to parents mho who have daughters but evidently the news in its fis groping way means to convey the idea that its description tits fits certain gentiles and that the moral character gentiles of will not average well with chatot mormons cormons Mor mons if a mandrinos man drinks a quart of whisky a day he is called a drunkard it if a man is steeped with animalism from his cradle up taught that only through taxing his baser desires to the utmost can N he
