Show HE ARISES TO EXPLAIN THE NEWS la is in receipt of the fol lowing letter from 0 W wirner warner of moab grand county it tells its own story as the reader will ot ol serve I 1 would like to lay my feelings before the public in regard to the territorial fair it is a known fact that parties who wish to exhibit their produce nave have to pay for transportation thereof thereat and at the same fame time pay for space also to get to see the show and what whai does a producer get in return I 1 know what I 1 received the only time that hat I 1 exhibited I 1 got 10 for the largest fruit that was all should I 1 have received anything more A small piece of paper stating the ibe facts would have eave been worth more to me as I 1 make fruit growing a business now I 1 exhibit in colorado I 1 take my fruit to the depot in utah abey pay the express charges send me a complimentary ticket and give me free admission to the fair grounds do we see an army of officers at the fruit shows like we fee eee in utah to swallow up all the money that is appropriated appropriated and that is received at the door no 0 we find there a horticultural society that manages that part of the fair we are letting colorado get the start of us u and why should we we have the beat fruit climate and the beat soil we did at one time have the name of raising fruit but the people as a mass mans have quit and let their orchards grow vp to weeds and grasses A man need not expect any better returns from an orchard that has not been cultivated than he would from corn that is growing in weeds ana grass now mr editor if you yon would leave out of your columns some of the accounts of fights md horse races race and fill the space with facts in regard to gurfine our fine climate and fruit land and bow to produce the fruits you yon would be doing some good for the country if you do not believe we have a fine fruit country step over here and see the largest and finest and most to the tree that you ever saw if not I 1 will pay your expenses for the trip now let us have a horticultural socie society tv 11 the greater part of our correspondents missive deals deal with matters which come within the purview of the board of directors of abe be deseret agricultural and manufacturing society and it te in for them to may ay and set act regarding the complaints complaint made and the suggestions offered doubtless Doubt leu they will add in his plain statements something to think of it if not to act upon they will use their own judgment as to that and we are not presumptuous or arrogant enough to ask or desire that they either favor or oppose we can offer them space for any reply they may choose to make but for ourselves can only properly deal with that portion of the letter which reflects i the business in which the NEWS is eu engaged brother warner objects to accounts of prize fighting horse racing and such like and thinks the space apace should be filled with facts fact regarding fruit raising ra laing Per perhaps hapshe he has never taken into consideration the amount of space which this paper devotes to the subjects objected to or he would be likely to conclude that hat so little of it set apart tor for a matter to which he be is to ao devoted would do him and his business too small an amount of good to be of practical value if he would then scrutinize further he be might add to his stock of information the additional fact that this paper devotes more space to the subject he prefers than does any other general newspaper in this part of the country furthermore our columns are always open to him or any others interested for suggestions statements statistics complaints and grievances regarding the subject spoken of or any other provided always such matters be of general in terest we a are re not personally in the fruit raising bu business except on a very small scale nor 19 this an agricultural horticultural arbor arboricultural cultural stock raising irrigation scientific or sporting sheet it deals with each and all of these in a proper time and we hope in a proper way if in the ordinary channels of information sufficient of one or more of such subjects do not appear to satisfy the reader who is interested in that particular d direction the offer already made and which will be a standing one for him to step to the front and fill up any such gaps gape ought to be satisfactory beckles BeH kles every reader should bear in mind lat that what to is one mans meat Is soother another mans poison J this having as an much reference to the mind as to the stomach some people would wade through mud ankle deep for half a mile and then pay a dollar for a paper containing an account of a great pugilistic encounter or an unusual horse hone race if they get it on any better terms terme Of owners filers read the political news first others again prefer the editorial views and still others give licit I 1 I 1 happenings their first attention it is only stating the case came fairly to say aay that those who take an interest only in the material and useful things of life and leave all other subjects in their paper for later consideration if any constitute a hopeless minority 12 albeit a very respectable one the reason for this to is not at all difficult to state or under stand land such things do not usually con statute news at all but are more nearly in the line of lessons or homilies homilius ho milies upon homelike subjects which have no reference to the bustle and jostle of the realm of current events it would doubtless IV bf a grand achievement for the journalist to exclude from his columns all but what the most refined taste would acea accept and the most critical mind be bimble to condemn but it cannot be done no Is matter how far in that direction we i might personally be willing to go w could not make up a fabrio fabric that would be otherwise than a representation of its materials A newspaper it IB not of necessity what its editor would like to have it in sill all respects but a reflex of the dolvis doings of the world on one side ide and the demands of the community on the other not of a part of the community observe you but au all of it it does not follow that vile and utterly objectionable matter krould be given space because there are some gome few no eo morbid or depraved in their tastes that they could enjoy it not at all while conceding something lomet bing for the sake bake of accommodating variegated demands demanda the paper which aims at usefulness as well as prosperity will never permit itself to go beyond a reasonable limit in the anything the NEWS to is not an upholder of prize fighting or any other form of whether for money or not it prints such intelligence when it to is furnished furnia lied because in the first place the business has had become almost legalized by noninterference aud and it would have to be given if it were otherwise the same ame as the record of any other criminal event and secondly as stated be cause a certain class demand such news and will have it and this class is not altogether composed of men of depraved tastes or groveling occupations eions either there are respectable readers who want to know all that la Js going on and who buy the NEWS to satisfy that want for our own part we would give space much more cheerfully to items showing how an apple tree in our moab friends orchard had yielded fruit so large that it could not be sold gold by measure at all or how his bis crop of potatoes had bad averaged a bushel to the vine but we cant do these things because they dont happen at least they are not reported to us ua if they do that is the difference and we hope he be and others will be able to see and appreciate it |
