Show JUDGE J.D.CALL IN PRINT WITH FAMOUS SPEECH The Wednesday, December 5 copy of the Thrlco a Week Journal, published pub-lished at Brigham City, has reached this office and In it wo find the main front page article Is what is purported to bo a verbatum report of Judge J. D. Call's famous speech when ho recently granted Fannie Stratton a new trial. To what oxtent tho Judge may bo guilty of legal Indiscretions in his apparent assumption to bo both Judge and Jury, technically wo do not know, and wo feel that in that particular he is safe as far as criticism criti-cism is concerned from tho fact that tho community was shocked indeed, to learn that tho woman had been fodud guilty and tho man allowed to go free. But what some of tho fow people in Cacho County into whoso hands this particular issuo of tho Brigham paper has fallen would like-to like-to know is why Judgo Call goes over to Brigham City to wash Cacho County's dirty linen? What good is it going to do to air this unsavory piece of rhetoric bo it legal or Illegal in Box Eldor ! County, whero tho Brigham paper circulates, and whero tho people know nothing about the case, and In all probability In a county where tho peoplo havo troubles of their own, without shouldering any of ours? Really, Judgo Call puts us In mind j of tho preacher who used to mako It 1 a point tor give tho people of ' his I ward a right good tongue lashing when tho peoplo wero not at meeting. meet-ing. If tho Judge had wanted his speech published we think ho could I havo arranged with ono or more of i tho papers of this county to havo i handled It, thus saving him the trou-blo trou-blo .of having It transcribed by his lawn stenographer , for his own personal per-sonal organ. It could thou havo boon ,read by tho peoplo who were intor-1 intor-1 cstcd in tho case, and kopt tho Judgo in tho rolo of tho washerwoman at l homo, Instead of running away to do 'tho job. , In Box Elder Comity It served no purposo whatever oxcopt to giro this city homo unsavory advertising. Wo renllza toat thl comes late, jbut when it is cgnsfidored that, tho Judgo waited until" whUkers lia.iT grown on tho luoldent hoforo ho aired It in his own porsonal paper, any 1 tlino Is soon onough here. |
