| Show J TRUTHS The l cws of Saturday night gives the J iJJtah Journal such a castigation that the Journal will be compelled to take down its banner cry The highest possible liberty t lib-erty to man and woman It is a very good cry and should be shouted aloud and from far and near but it is not meant for Logan journalism although the expression expres-sion arose there It would be well for the Journal to heed the warning for it is a very severe one and comes from a quarter quar-ter of which the Journal is rather afraid The position the Journal took is that the law has some right to be and that the officers of the law are not necessarily 1 ruffians It is a view and position that t I are too rarely taken in Utah and the utterance of truth when the particular truth is not desirable to a great many is always frowned down upon and people so speaking are wisely informed that it is not always well to tell the truth and you I must learn to discern which truths maybe I may-be told without any danger It Would be I well to have all truths listed and classified with rules for their use printed with them I I The merit of the scheme is that there would be no danger of getting the truths I of experience mixed up with truths which are truths of authority Truths of authority can always be used and in I every place for they need no evidence no facts no thinking It is not so with I the truths of experience as it is an impossible im-possible thing for all to have the same experience Charles the Fifth could cbntrol and regulate Europe but he found it beyond his power to make the clocks tick in unison Authority had taught him he could do as he wished experience showed him he could not Had Charles had the same experience as Maurice he would have known thatGermany was Protestant and would so remain let Spain and the II empire be what they would Had truths I been tabulated as we suggest Charles could have given his checks as they do in Utah today for a whole truth haying rJ + stamp of authority upon it he could have drawn a foreign check for a truth of experience but not current at home in fact any truth in any shape could be had by merely designating the card and column col-umn such as partial truth doubtful truth truth for home consumption export truth truth for children with separate sepa-rate labels and very simple j truths for adults put up in small or large packages Then the directions would clearly indicate indi-cate how to be taken what could be mixed and what could not These directions direc-tions need great care iu drawing them up and not understanding the chemistry of truths we say nothing only that all authoritative truths should be taken cum grano sales |
