Show The drink traffic just now interests the Ogden Sun. In Provo those who wish to do so drink like American freemen. Those who do not, refrain. Every tub stands upon its own bottom and answers only to God Almighty, and the lawB made and provided. Even the great moral engine, the Splatter-blotch, Splatter-blotch, when it wants a drink goes into a drug store or a whisky shop and gets it, but it never ceases to preach strict abstinence to its readers on the prin -einle of "do as I tell you, not as I do." "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." So, to reverse the metaphor, you can tell a man not to drink, but you can't force him to abstain. The declaration of independence in-dependence is a success. Low grade gold ore is but an indifferent indiffer-ent mineral upon which to build a boom, but it is the thing to rely upon to upbuild the permanant good of the country, f Just now with the cyanide process we treat the low , grade gold ores of Utah at a cost ot $2.00 per ton. This ore and there is an immense region of country covered with it-runs it-runs all the way from $4.50 to $16.00 per ton. It will be seen at a glance that here is the yellow richness in sufficient suf-ficient quantities to enrich this territory terri-tory to an enormous degree. Ye men of Utah, pitch in an secure .a share of this enormous mass of ready money, current the world over, while it is going. Thk Standard of Osden is very se vere upon Mr. Penrose, unnecessarilly and causelessly so, we think.. We feel disposed to permit the church to change the editors of church papers, when and as they please. We have only to do with Mr. Penrose as a political po-litical writer, and surely in thia . field he far away surpasses the alleged political po-litical editorials daily appearing in the Standard. Tug Wilson bears defeat as the-veteran the-veteran does, but there is a glint in Tug's flashing blue eye which forebodes fore-bodes evil to the false men who made a bargain with him and then shamelessly shame-lessly went back from it. Shouldn't wonder if bottom facts anent that Hall letter didn't come to the top yet. Somebody's Some-body's face will burn if Tug does finally consent to talk. The Logan Nation should be a little careful ere it dabbles into what does not in the least concern it. Wait until un-til a Utah county jury has passed upon the Irvine libel matter and you can give a little idea of the worth of the character of a good citizen, an honest man and-an irreproachable Mormon. Nebekjsk. is rather severe upon the the Splatterblotch. He wants to make a school district of its sanctnm and to employ cheap, teachers for a term or two. If Allen gets hold of the matter he'll move to lay it on the table and that will kill, the. hopes of its friends in the way of cheaply educating it. |
