Show THE SAME J. WESLEY. Lahnnli Journal, an organ of the Latter Day Saints, located at Independence. Inde-pendence. Mo., in cnpvlng from the i Appeal a recent reference to J. Wesley Wes-ley Hill, says: i Yes. It U the same J. Wesley Hill who ran a rampant career In I'tah and ate, figuratively speaking, n "Merman" "Mer-man" for breakfast each morning. The foundations of the 'college" that should have bronchi enlightenment to benighted I'lah still may be seen near the mountains east of Ogdcn, eruml.I-. eruml.I-. Ing into ruins. The reason the Appeal hns been showing up Hie record of this man who has organizer a movement to fight Socialism, is to discredit him from Ids past life. A preacher who drinks. lie? ;ind misappropriates money collectr-d for religious purposes pur-poses and has done It for years, I I not a man who should be believed when lie 11reanl7.es a movement for the purpose of lving about Socialism. The time has con1" when tie- thoughtful and decent, on, whether ! religionists or not, are willing to con-, con-, shier Socialism lor what it Is. When men deliberately misrepresent it, say-i say-i ing It Is opposed to home, to private j property and religion, they discredit ' themselves. Such action might have been condonefl a dozen vcirs ago. I but there Is absolutely no reason for ! it today. You can't find a reputable j newspaper man In the I'liltcd States , who will make such a plea now. and I it Is time that church nun should ! rise to a higher plane of attack, i We want Socialism discussed, but we want It discussed as Socialism. 1 not In a fanu'ical line of. mlsrepro-! mlsrepro-! sentatlon. It will In- discussed as I such, and they who think that per-j per-j sislent lving will count at this day are going to find themselves very much mistaken. APPEAL TO REASON. |
