Show The K ; ' atement publieed in Sunday o v i'i L;ko papers is a virtual confess cf znUt upon the view of it taken liy Til. T - patch It is simply a reyelc.tiou of turpitude one would only expect from the patron of the bawdy house. The coward's effort Is to blacken the character of the guilty partner of his illicit joys. This fate is richly deserved by her, but it does not lift a feather weight of guilt from the thoulderi of Dr, Mabry. It is lame, weak and evidently outrank, M, iml mmm m mm n ihmOXI mm imimm The Herald, on Sunday, true to its long training a3 an ecclesiastical authority, au-thority, saiis into the Episcopal church for its canons against divorce, savagely. If the Herald likes divorce, let it have one or a dozen, but let the Episcopal church lead away from the custom if it cares to do that. What right has a secular paper to battle against a church anyhow, if that is not usnrpingpolitical functions? If there were fewer divorces in this land of freedom there would be far less immorality. im-morality. We take a good deal of pleasure in notifying the Standard that The Dispatch Dis-patch always calls things by their right names. With us a spade is a spade and a machine is a machine, whether run by a preacher or a layman. A libertine who is a layman Is bad enough, but the preacher, the leader, or the moral guide who is a libertine is far worBe, and worthy a far more exceeding and eternal weight of ignominy. ig-nominy. We hear and see a great'deal of tbe new woman these days. The old women wo-men were the best we have ever known. Our homes will Boon indicate, we fear, that the good old-fashioned women of the past have become only a memory a blessed one 'tie true, but still only a memory. The ArguB says Sam Thurman is preparing to move to Salt Lake. There is not a word of truth in the rumor. Sam has work to do here and we have use for him. No, Zion does not get all the excellence of the country in this way. The house where Joe Jefferson was born is becoming a thing of interest. The houBe where Thomas Jefferson was born is the home where American liberty first Baw the light. There is nobody no-body hunting for it or troubling about it. The Tayson Globe doesn't like the punishment The Dispatch suggests for Dr. Mabry, It he is provgft. if-Hm That kind of men neverwy cannot get over the idea ot proviiIM'gf for a rainy day for themselves. The Dispatch doesn't want to be obtrusive, but it begs permission to ask why Heber J. Grant of Salt Lake would not make an ideal first governor for Utah state? It seem3 to U3 that the word ideal about expresses it. The Springville Independent is mounting from one excellence to another an-other with a rapidity which makes the beholders dizzy. The business department de-partment seems very active as well as the editorial and local. The Logan Journal need have no fears on the subject of the adoption by the people of the new constitution. It will have a big majority, and there is enough good sound democracy in it to insure this result. rHi""c;i jtz zz Luukiupuiitiiii papers pa-pers of Salt Lake to cover up and excuse ex-cuse the Mabiy scandal has eo far proven a lamentable failure. The country press has taken up the matter, and it goes. The Tribune denominates the editor of the Herald a literary scavenger. This is too bad. Ue is only a vain weak man in a position which is far above his calibre. If the printers of Utah were to get "on to" the Brigham Bugler's "makeup" "make-up" the capacity of the insane asylum would have to be yery greatly Increased. The attempt to cover up or whitewash white-wash the Mabry matter ought not to be permitted to succeed. The cause of decency ia at stake. The Ephraim Co-op. is an institution which knows exactly how to advertise. |
