Show THE DESERET NEWS JINN. The mendacity of the Deseret News in asserting assert-ing that the heads of the dominant church here have never made any political deals; that teachers teach-ers and elders have never been sent out to Instruct In-struct the people how to vote, that the people have always been absolutely free to cast their votes as they pleased, would be appalling did we not all know that for the Npws to put out any defense of the church needed has become through natural genius and through years of prac tice "as easy as lying." It was an ancient Asiatic superstition that there were invisible and supernatural agents, called jinns, that to the initiated were on call and ready to perform any sinister service demanded of them. There is such an agent subject to the call, at any time, of the editor of the Deseret News, and he is a lusty jinn sure enough. Then if he is ever delayed in coming, the loss is not irreparable. The editor himself is on tap and he is something of a jinn himself. |
