Show "THOSE HE AGONIZES FOR HURL THE CONTUTVIELIUS STONE" ., . There were three editors of Civil war days who went directly to Hades when they died and the only respite they have had is that they have been reincarnated into active editors of today, one of them on the Chicago Trihur nd the others elsewhere, one close to home. These editors charged Lincoln with the very same things the president is charged with today. He was, it is, true, forced to susnend 'habeus corpus and to proceed for some months without authority of congress, and these editors jumned on to him like a band of Sioux Indians scalping white men. The great and then famous New York World spoke almost daily as follows : , ,; "The whole federal administration is rotten with scandalous scan-dalous corruption from the high places to the low. Its shameful disregard of the nation's law and the people's liberties is of a piece with its shameful mismanagement of finances, and its reckless spendthrift mismanagement of expenditures." j The equally great and famous New York Herald poured out its vitriol as follows: , ,. , , . . , , "The president knows that he has blundered frightfully fright-fully from the commencement. But he evidently expects to save himself with the country and come out all right by some brilliant stroke of genius that shall place him beside Caesar, Hannibal and Napoleon." And the Detroit Free Press said: "It was for causes far less than these that the people of England inaugurated the revolution which finally cost , Charles I his head." ' How cruelly and maliciously wrong they were. And how cruelly and maliciously wrong are the editors who are saying the same things today. THIS CUTS VERY DEEP, BROTHER Utah's foremost opponent of old age assistance, and social security in general, said some things that cut very ! deep into the minds and hearts of the poor and needy in i the Grant ward Tuesday evening, May 9. Here are some of tli6m "'if I were a bishop I would find work for the man m need and pay him according to need, BUT NOT IN MONEY!" Think of it! . "I would make him and his family self-respectmg and respected," which, he inferred, they couldn't be with government govern-ment assistance. . . "The improvident man," (he calls them improvident instead of poor) , "is more difficult to advise than a farmer. I know that the man who needs help is often the most difficult kind of a man to get to work." For ourselves we trust the time will never come when we will purposely offend and insult the poor and needy who are God's souls and more worthy than many of those with millions. |
