second judicial district of utah we publish it as a matter ametter of record in the f full all expectation pec tation that in a future day the author of the foul calumnies calum nies and gross falsehoods it contains will be confronted with them that will be ata at a lime time when the mask shall be torn from the hypocrite and there will be no more biding lildia behind the refuge refue of lies iles the author of the charge advised those to whom he spoke not to be governed by malice hatred or ill will and thus counseled them to take a course the antipodes of his own there is no room in his contracted soul for nobler sentiments toward those with whom he differs religiously ills his vision is warped by constant gazing gazin through narro narrow vv sectarian spectacles ile he presents the most pitiable picture that can be beheld on the judicial bench his lack of knowledge of the commonest principles of law a deficiency well known to the bar of utah is even outweighed by an almost unparalleled intolerant bigotry which crowds the thu practicability of his being penetrated by a thought with a ti tinge tinga 1111 e of magnanimity in it he jae does not appear to be able to catch the scintilla of a grasp at the greatness of true republican government rhe iho the rho idea has evidently entered his small calibre capacity that a territory of the united states and th the people living in that abnormal cond condition tio n are mere worms ile he considers that they can be properly used by the parent government overn ment as a species of football to be be kicked about for amusement or a as s figures on a slate that can cali be wiped out at will ile he would had he the power obliterate private judgment 11 which he evidently imagines should houll not be exercised erel sect to assert it is to him treasonable 11 had he lived at the time the declaration of independence was made he would undoubtedly have opposed it as traitorous to the existing government it would have been v viewed by him as a wholesale assertion of individual judgment as opposed to what were idere esteemed to be unjust laws atves at every stage of judge borremans Bo remans chamare char e his s ignorance or malice crops out like toadstools toad stools on a pile of refuse he says the particular law under whick which he desires 16 mormons cormons Mor mons to be prosecuted has been decided to be constitutional tut ional yet the validity of the edmunds act has never been ruled on by that tribunal mr air borremans Bo remans tirade against the A mormon lormon community is as false as it is brutal and those of his own kind know taut thit he fabricates when he states that animalism and sexual crimes abound in utah as an outgrowth of plural marriage ile he speaks against his own knowledge when he makes statements so infamously and purposely incorrect polygamy is merely mabuni prohibit a but not a crime of prot itself and was as practiced by the best men of whom sacred history gives any account according to that standard the latter day saints as a community have no superiors as exemplars of sexual virtue among no people on earth are there fewer crimes of the grosser 1 kind and they are not excelled in their thein law abiding and virtuous on tendencies in every eveny other particular but these facts are as patent to this cal calumniator of the th pure epure as to adv anyone else
