Show APPLYING THE SOFT PEDAL. Will somo one please explain tho real meaning of the following proclamation procla-mation issued by Mayor A. R. Hoy-wood, Hoy-wood, particularly the reference "to levity" and his applying of the soft-pedal soft-pedal to patriotism? A WORD OF CAUTION. Taking advantage of the extreme ex-treme tension of the hour somo overzealous tongues have used a license in their speech that have spread mistrust and in a few instances in-stances estrangement. For this reason and in view of the further mischief that may accrue, ac-crue, I hope and beg that we all soberly weigh our words, having duo regard of the feelings of others oth-ers and taking care to avoid levity lev-ity that might be possible of mls-consti mls-consti notion. While one can use bombast and make extravagant claims and be a patriot he will be a much better citizen if recognizing the awful consequences of war he limited Ills endeavors to quiotly upholding the government, yielding to those in power such services ab may be called for. April 2, 1917. ABBOT R. HEYWOOD, Mayor of Ogden. Will tho mayor plcaso enter into a bill of particulars? The proclamation evidently was hastily constructed, and is in need of revision. |
