The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-05-24

organ Of no church or creed. Our mission
is the teaching of Democratic principles of
government, the printing of news, the de-
velopment Of the resources and industries
OF Utah, among which we may specially
name agriculture. manufacturing and MIN
ing, and the building up and strengthening
OF mighty industrial and political COM
monwealth in this territory. THE HERALD
will be for Democracy and Utah with all
It's power, all its influence, and in all that
1t does. 1t will be the organ of the right
and the champion of equal and exact Justice
to all; the defender of the weak and OPP
pressed; it will demand that labor shall be
treated fairly by capital, recognizing as we
all do that in the bone and muscle and pa
tent industry and prosperity of the work
ing classes lies the strength of the common
wealth.
1t is probable that the change in TIE
HERALD herewith announced will occasion
some comment in the community. In the
thousands of homes extending from Mon
tana on the north to the Mexican boundary,
our field embracing not only Utah, but
Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado New Mexico
and Arizona, THE HERALD is regarded with
affection, and is looked upon as the champ
ion of the people and as one of the
essentials TO the household; and some of
our numerous patrons smay NON entarily
fear that they have lost a friend. If there
are any such let US assure them
that their apprehensions are idle.
at no time in the past has
HE HERALD been truer or
ADLER friend and champion of the people
of Utah than it will be in the future. Our
devotion to the territory and its honest, in
dustrious, thrifty people is as intense as
ever, and never were men more determined
to employ that mighty power, the press to
better or nobler purposes than are the new
owners Of Tbs HERALD TO see that this
paper does only good. This action was not
taken in haste and without thoughtful con-
sideration. The publishers realized keenly
the sacred trust which the community
had reposed Ill them, and we think all will
admit that such men as Hon. JOHN T.
GAME, Hon. HEBER ]. GRANT, Colonel
JOHN r. WINDER, Judge E. A. SMITH and
the other owners of The HERALD would do
nothing which they did not deem for the
very best They saw, as all must see, that
the time for dropping the old parties and
coming out under banners which will be
respected and influential at home and
abroad, had arrived. Such prominent and
we'll known Democrats as Hon. r. c..
CHAMBERS, Hon. THOMAS MARSHALL,
Judge JUDD, Hon. FRANK H. DYER.
Hon. j. L. RAwLINs, Messrs. SIMON BAN
BERGER, GEORGE CULLINs and many others
who had trained in the Liberal ranks, be-
cause they believed that in that party they
could best labor for the adjustment of
questions which we all wanted settled, saw
that the problems had been solved and
there was no longer occasion for keeping
up the strife over dead issues. There be-
ing nothing moro to contend for under the
old flags, these former Liberals and former
Peoples partisans were naturally
brought together by the harmony
Of their political principles and the
unity of their belief as to what
constitutes right in human government.
The combination Is just such a one as
might have been expected, embracing as it
does strong and forceful and clear-headed
men from the old parties-men whose in
iuence and ambitions and efforts are for
peace, progress and prosperity. We think
the public can trust these gentle
men to conduct the paper in such
a manner and along such lines
as will convince everybody that
THE HERALD is the peoples bravest and
best friend and we are confident this Jour
nal will continue to be known as 1.-THE
Peoples Paper"
1t will readily be understood that as a
newspaper, aside from its politics, THE
HERALD will be greatly improved under
the new proprietorship. The company is
powerful one financially, and all its
members are permanent residents of Utah,
are property owners, are progressive and
epterprising and are all interested in the
material advancement and development of
this and the surrounding states and terri
tories, as well as in their political rescue
and redemption. The intention is to at
once make the paper stronger and better
editorially and as news journal. OF the
Improvement the public will make note as
it shall appear
Confident that the masses of the people
all the old friends of THE HERALD. will
heartily approve what has been DONE and
that its influence and usefulness will be
widely extended by this change, THE SALT
LAKE DAILY HERALD greets the public as q
Democratic newspaper. and predicts g
