themselves a sufficient answer to any lies that envious and dei degraded traded souls may put in circulation and as aa to the fact that the agost lant to in this case happens to be anonymous we imagine that a close analydia of his bla work will go far toward showing bowing the animus and motive behind it it if not indeed ole clone the very identify of the hand itself we shall ball hardly have hare time lime or space to go through we whole article today or to subject it to the searching analysts analysis above hinted at but the first two or three columns may receive a little attention tent lon and meanwhile the observant reader will be able to note DOIA WO we think certain evidences that will lead him to the conclusion that not the church itself not the mormon people as aa such not the leaders of the church with whom president cannon ie 18 in all the various enterprises mentioned but he and he alone to ie the object of the villainous villa assault primarily then jealousy of or hostility toward him personally lly may iney be looked upon as aa the motive he appears to have full reason for the mental soliloquy that some gome enemy hath done this thing that some of president Pre aident cannons Cannon ss family or relatives ivea have had bad a measure of success in business lit arary or political aspirations le la cited with great u unction notion but surely this thia la Is not to be charged in dishonor diabo t ti him yet it to is one of the subjects on which tie no to la attacked nor does doea it appear plain why he alone should be blamed because gen J 9 clarkson Clark aon and joe 1 manley gave offense to the lime writer by coming to salt lake city lat last year As A a matter matt or of fact other gentlemen also came some of them from the be east some from the west some from europe and we think we call a few diplomats from far off japan and one or two learned men from indis india the arraignment should have included all these mr john books becks statement as aa to the charge of fraud in president cannons cannon a acquirement of mining stock will probably need no additional endorsement he is the man said to have been injured yet he insists that he be swindled at a all that any charge of fraud to Is ridiculous that the transaction was la in every way straight and legitimate As to the romance of any deal I 1 to a consecrated consecrate dO stock in that mining property there were various other othera stockholders tock holders I 1 in n th the e com company pa ny a aad D d all had bad the same understanding as to the consecration of the stock president cannon again is the only one mentioned yet each and all the uthera others can tetley that the times account cou dt of his bis profiting by it to is utterly untrue As to co his real estate belongings either of property that at one time was supposed to belong to the church or any other property president cannons purchases bave have been in every ORNS case opens open legitimate on an according to contract he to Is not the only real estate owner li it utah there are others who have bought property at the same time anu ana in some oases cases from the same parties that he ha did wb while ile be and his bis family ate are alone ment lone q his bis right of possession posse eBion is ae unclouded ef l and aad as free from suspicion as anything of the kind ever was in the he woric the same may bi bd said i 1 ownership ot of banking a ook and stock in Z C M I 1 both church concerns cerns the amies wishes it understood and both we beg to say good sound inual in which no one need be ashamed to be either a stockholder or an off official olal the next count in the indictment to is that president Pre aident cannon is an editor the possessor of undoubted literary sibil ity st and that the establishment which bean beam his hia name prints a good many books magazines magazine etc ate wells well to there any crime in all this and la in there anything so BO heinous in the fact that two of his bli sons BOOB are the DrIn CIPRIS re aa lessees lessels not owners of the ibe and its ita publics public eions president cannon himself had bad the least to do of all the parties concerned in the arrangement of that lease he be know knew nothing about it until its ita consummation was well under way and certainly there is not one of the stockholders of the original company who raised his voice against the conclusion of an agreement which they regarded as highly favorable in that it relieved them all of the financial risk rick and responsibility which the leurea lessees took upon therne themselves elvee the utah company cornea comes in for a tremendous attack so 0 o do the sugar factory the salt lake and los LOB angeles railroads railroad saltair beach which to described as aa magnificent but of which the infamous falsehood Is told that it was partly built by money donated for the he completion of the temple in all of these vast enter arises president cannoni Cannon ss connection la in referred to as ai though it were blameworthy and yet wore there to is no scintilla of truth in a single unworthy motive attributed to him or in any charge of a single improper or auspicious business transaction he is the arch conspirator who of all those associated with those compa companies la Is the one that has bas to occupy so ao much of the jimm writers attention ana so BO much of the times pace we have not yet reached the charges of his bis political influence ranging not only all over utah but developing itself also in the idaho idabo politics of a few years ago what with test teat oaths and constitution making and change of front and so ao on anu so forth the salt lake correspondent of the new york tames has found much matter tor for his hia poisonous assimilation but the he continuation of the subject will dolor do for another day |
