Show CANNOT QUARREL WITH US. The Examiner "Kids" are unhappy because this paper will not take up a quarrel with them. This paper has no desire to quarrel with any paper. The readers do not care what the editor may think of the business manager or the publisher of the Standard. Our subscribers expect the news only and it is not news to tell them that this paper believes a boxing contest is less harmful than a football game. It is not news to say the publisher of this paper likes to sec a good sparring contest. Our readers do not care what business the publisher of this paper engages in, and we do not caro whether the Examiner "Kids" like us or our business enterprises. We are entirely indifferent to anything the "Kids" say about us. They can accuse us one day of promoting a boxing contest; the next day of promoting a horse race ; the next day of promoting a bull fight, and later on of promoting a dog fight it is all the same to us. The public fully understands the "Kids." The people know that the morning sheet sold its editorial columns to tho Democrats last fall and then betrayed them by making cowardly counter attack at-tack just before election. The people fully understand that the "Kids" may tell the truth about their neighbor, but that the chances are they will not. We simply want to say this much, to let our neighbors know that, regardless of what they say about us we are under no obligation obliga-tion to respond, and the public need expect no reply. The publisher of this paper takes great interest in sports, especially in "the manly art of self defense." Ho took a keen interest in-terest in tho Sullivan-Dawson contest. He expected to see the cleverest contest ever seen in Ogden. He may even have been the cause of bringing Sullivan and Dawson together, but any statement that he had any financial interest in the matter is false. But even If he had been financially interested, he would have no apology to make, as he does not believe that a man who puts a dollar into promoting a boxing contest is any worse than the fellow who buys a ticket to see the contest, or even any worse than the fellow who slides in on a pass. |
