/ Under the above heading the organ OF
lies and SANDER published in it's issue OF
Thursday an article trying to defend its
position endorsing the damnable PROPOSE
ton that saloons and houses of ill fame
are more powerful reforming agencies here
in Utah than churches and schools.n The
natural born liar who writes the regular
stock trade lies for the rule or ruin
organ says:
THE HERALD again refers to fragments of
an editorial published some years ago in this
journal, in which it was averred that indulgence

stood
We will supply the facts on which thesar-
ticle was founded. They were. in brief
as follows There was an attempt being
made in this city by the authorities to SUD-
press the usual vices of civilization },
and inasmuch as every one suspects the
editor OF the Tribune of being the tone

whom an associate editor referred, as
being guilty of sexual crimes, he felt tn at
he must defend the saloons and houses of
Ill fame against the official attacks or his
friends would be in a bad fix, hence his at
titude.
The above article is as usual, another
lot of lies, that is, all but the statement.
Its language separated from the context
is very tough" Well, yes, rather tough and
equally as tough when placed side by side

article to make out that the following
words had another meaning than

Great heavens! Are there men on earth
having children to raise who desire them
to become all the stronger from knowl-
edge of vices We answer, Yes, and the
editor of the Tribune seems to be one of
them, as he certainly would not recon-
mend for other peoples children what he
would reject in the case of his own. His
statement that if not separated from the |
context the foul language in question
would have been all right, is on a par with
Ill OF the rest of the lies that he is used to |
eiling from day to day to earn his bread

hat the context to the foul language had
lot one word in. it to justify the article.
"A Liar should have a good memory,n is
n old saying and we commend it to the
uthor OF the article in Thursdav,s
rtbunc. Inasmuch as he seems TO
