The "News' has no intention of talk
ing sides. mt this time. ON the prohibit
ton issue which has Just been raised
in the municipal campaign in Logan.
1t is nm issue of party politics. an
arena which this paper does not care
to enter. But Misrepresentation of
fact are being made which we think
should be corrected: they relate to con-
dltions in the town named during for
mer ATTEMPTS at enforcing prohibition
there.
II Is not true that drunkenness and
immortality were rife in the town dur
ing the period of about two years
from 1882 to 1854, over which extended
the efforts Of the city government to
enforce prohibition, as recounted in
yesterdays News" Hundreds of citl-
zens of the place will testify that the
officers during that period We're strict
in enforcing the law against drunken
ness, and that intoxicated persons were
almost Invariably arrested promptly IL
found in public under circumstances
that warranted such action; yet the
police court records, to which, 10y the
way, the News has fun access, VIII
not show an excessive number of such
arrests in proportion 10 the size Of the

There is much practical truth in the
foregoing. The tendencies Of modern

a matter of serious doubt whether

History tells us in few vivid and
tragical words the fate of the chief
actors in the crucihxlon Of the Savior
OF the world. Before the dread sacri-
fee was contaminated Judas died in
the horrors of a loathsome suicide.
Caiaphas the high priest and president
Of the Sanhedrim was deposed the
year following. Herod died in infamy
and exile, stripped of his procurator-
ship and leaving behind him an exc
Grated name. The house Of Annas
was destroyed generation later by
an infuriated mob, and his son was
dragged through the streets and
scourged and beaten to his place of
murder. Some of those who shared
in and witnessed the scenes Of that
day of the crucihxion and thousands of
their children also shared in and wit
messed the long horrors of that selge
Of Jerusalem which stands unparal-
leled in the history OF unuttered fear
fulness.

The News" published the other day
n letter from Mr. j. w. Wight. in which
the gentleman took exception to a
number of "Josephites" in the Society
Islands. and also to n remark of the
correspondent concerning deception
Of the natives by the "Josephites,' in
calling themselves Latter-day Saint
Elders. To the statistics Of the 10
sephte" or Roorgani2ed church mem
bershlp we made no objection, since
they should know their own numbers.
But to Mr.. Wights iuslnuauon that
our correspondent had mlsstatcd the
case when he referred to the deception
named, we made reply that the cor
respondent was right; that there was
the effect Of deceiving in the Joseph
lite" claim to the name Latter-day
Saints. which belongs to the Church
organized under the presidency of
Joseph Smith the Prophet April O,
1880. This Church has continued In
organized existence, and is referred to
by Mr.. Wight as the Mormon Church
the name commonly applied to 1t by
it's enemies prior to the martyrdom or
the Prophet. To this name there now
is no more special objection by It's
members than there appears to have
been by the members Of the Church
ancientiy to the name Christians which
was first applied to the Saints in for
mer DAYS at Antioch. The real and
official name Is not Mormon at all,
however. and never has been. That
title comes from the Book Of Mormon,
which the Latter-day Saints believe to
DO divlnely inspired record pertain
ing to the American continent, as the
Bible Is Of the part of the ,enrth 1t re-
lates to. The true name Of the Church
held forth in all its records and public
and private transactions, is the Church
OF Jesus Christ OF Lutter-day Saints.
Now comes another letter from Mr..
Wight, in which he reasserts his for
mer position, to which our former re-
Spouse stands as a reply. But he goes
farther this time, and brings In new
matter, alleging the introduction" Of
certain doctrines into the Church
since the death OF the Prophet, and
h. endeavors to argue thereon. As we
arc possessed of the knowledge that
this alleged subsequent introduction"
of doctrines is untrue, there having
been no Incorporation by the Church
of new doctrines under the circum-
stances alleged, we decline, in the in
terest Of truth and Justice to our
readers to give place to the communi-
cation. 1t would be as consistent for
W. to admit an article denying and
arguing against the divinity Of Christ
and the facts of His crucihxion and
resurrection, merely for the sake OF
providing both hail and audience for
one who desired to promulgate such
views as to give place to these Of an
equally erroneous character on this
other Church subject. We make nc
complaint of dlscourtesy of Mr.
| Wights manner OF communication
but have endeavored to state pointed.
ly our respectful dcclnation of his
letter for these columns, and the rea.
son therefor, that there may be n,
misunderstanding or irritation in tn,
matter.
