QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

! questions ABOUT young Ctan. A certain
''clear-headed Mormon" who writes oc-
for THE HERALD answers them seriatim
asfollows;
Question-Suppose the whole crowd
(of Gentiles) were swept away, would
the present state OF their (the Mormons,
own people suit them 2''
Not entirely. The present State is
only Territory. They would keep on
knocking for admittance into the Union,
and continue progressing towards per
lection, far beyond their present state.
Are they (the Mormon boys) re
ceiving the impressions and the train
ing that they should?"
1t all depends: The most. of them
are, we are happy to believe. Some OF
them, however, read the Tribune and
are struggling upward" to its level by
means of the gambling hell, the beer
hall, the brothel, and other agencies
advocated by it for their emancipation
from "Mormonisui. We can't answer
for them.
Are they learning lessons of loyalty,
patriotism, truth and justice, to fit them
to rule State wisely?"
Yes; all but the class referred to. who
study the Tribune and pattern after the
examples and teachings of its editors.
Are they receiving the proper bust
ness education to fit them to succeed IN
world OF sharp competitions
That all depends upon whether
thieves are sent here to plumber them
under cover of law, backed up by the
power of the Federal Government. In all
ordinary "sharp competition" young
Utah would be able to hold his own.
How he would succeed under Ed
munds' board of trustees remains to be
seen.
what will be the condition of the
mind of the average Mormon boy who
is growing up here and daily reading
the Deseret Neics3"
a condition of mind to be envied by
the unfortunates who revel in the filth
and falsehood daily poured out by the
Tribune.
Twill he have any idea of loyalty ex-
ptloyalty to Mormon Church chiefs ?"
Yes.
What will be his estimate of the
government of the United States2"
That it is the best government on
earth, if rightly administered; but is
being gradually torn to pieces by trail
tors and demagogues who pirate of
Mormon disloyalty while stabbing the
Goddess of Liberty in the back.
when boy is brought up to think
It is right to defy and deride any law
which does not happen to suit him or
TO suit some men whom he holds to be
his temporal and spiritual masters,
what kind of citizen will he be liz ely
to be ?''
The same kind, We suppose, as Gov
ernor or Marshal who, under the die
tation of their temporal and spiritual
masters" of the Tribune office, override
The Constitution and laws of Congress
It will, for instance in the use of United |
States troops as a posse comitatus with |
'ut the shadow of authority. Also the
'uffians whom the Tribune continually |
ncites to resist and shoot down the |
dormon police, whose duty it is to ar
est them. The boys whom the Tribune
5 seeking to bring up in this, the way
hey shouldn't go, ought to take warn
ng and leave off reading the law-defy-
ng. law-deriding sheet at once.
"Are you satisfied with your public
chools and with the facilities for max
ng your children and the children of
our neighbors independent when they
each manhood?"
Quite as well as we should be if they
we're under the Tribuse's management
which would probably be the case if the
resent incumbents of the Ter
itorial educational officers should
i've place to the Governors appointees.
rs it fair to them to dwarf and per.
ert their minds as they are being
varied and perverted?"
You mean as they trould be dwarfed
nd perverted, under TSbune influence
nd teachings. What a wonderful diff
srcnce slight change in the form of
erb makes in the accuracy of a state
lent, to be sure.
why do you not put in force some
ules that will cause your children 10
row up fully equipped Americans
That is to say, Americans of the
Tibune kind? For reasons already
iven. 1t is because your idea
"a fully equipped American

re more than wilnng you should enioy

Why do you not rouse yourselves
