Show On the Case of Win S Lewis Regarding as a casual observer of human events the recent remarks of the Ogden Herald on Wm S Lewis for yielding submission to the inevitable a friend at my elbow asks Did Mr Lewis do worse than Brigham Young did in that notorious written defense wherein he pleaded that he had but one lawful wife 1 wifeDid Did not the venerable John Taylor put his wires in separate homes and publicly proclaim his profession of complying with the law How much belter is C F Middleton of the Weber Stake Presidency who after proving by sworn testimony to the i satisfaction of the First District Court that he had already complied with the Edmunds by putting away his Ed munds wldowthan James Taylor a bishops councilor and then clerk of the High Council who upon being found guilty of cohabiting with three women i promised to obey the law in the future as he had done in the past How much worse is W S Lewis than these and other brethren whoso cases can be cited if required On the whole the Herald did go considerably con-siderably out of its own way in that article arti-cle on Wm S Lewis The Herald is all right when it booms Ogden and boosts the real estate in which not a few of its proprietors arc materially interested But when the organ of the Weber stake presidency comes down to blackguarding private character under the guise of criti cising public officers it does a thing it should not do It should remember the story of the boomerang And there is one sentence in that Herald editorial which is all the boomerang I wish to point out just now And so he was obliged to desert her and return to the bosom of his lawful spouse This is a l candid admission of r a fact Voila out |
