The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1897-11-23

auu cltlZenS tndu are just dS
eral; just as loyal and proud
our State and Home as are tho
of Illinois. and when we have 4
.phans to feed, clothe and ed
cate, the Odd Fellows and Re
ekahs of Idaho will be ready
respond to the call.
Probably the most affectif
scene witnessed while at Sprin
field, was at the time Past Graz
Sire Sanders presented the 5
year jewel to Rev. j. w. We
able, paid for by contribute
1t was some minutes before I
could speak, and as he took II
jewel in his hand smile can
over his face and then tears
his eyes. Before he was dor
speaking tears came to our eye
and we were amply repaid I'D
the mite we had contributed
so laudable purpose.
The Salt Lake Tribune
sometimes awfully right-an
now. We notice in the Tribun
of the 18th an extract from
discourse of that eminent orato
B. III. Roberts, at the anniveI
sary of the foundation of th
Latter Day Saints College, whic
was to us positive proof, if col
rectly reported, that elder Rob
erts had and has none of the SAT
elements of an American in h1
makeup. And we were prou
to see the reproving comment
of the Tribune on the 10th. Sue
doctIineS as were set forth id
that speech are vicious to th} )
first principles of free, Amer1
can rule. Church rule; priest
craft control. and arbitrary, aid
solute monarchy would be thI
result of a line of action as ther|
setforth. The Tribune has donl
nobly in turning down all such
malicious theory of government
AS the child is educated so th'
people will become; and If W,
turn our common school funt
into a church disciplinary, Sc
sure will we have a race o
priest-ridden bigots. So sur
will we have a race of narrow
minded statesmen. So sure will
our American liberty become
by-word to the people of tn
more enlightened nations an
we, as {, hope TO all humanity
will be ignored and forgotten
Our proud pre-eminence will
vanish from the moment of Ou
betrayal. Tyranny will reigl
and we be a despised people
But the priests. and the tyrants
and the wealth, and the wrong
of the world will rule us. Lib
erty will vanish and be forgot
ten as something that was of tn
past. Honesty will have to sleel
under the guidance and contro
deceit-if it shall be adjudged tt
be the needs of the church, ant
there will be no place for mere
unless it be able to add to it
unhallowed power. And that a
American-no, not an American
but a gilded Englishman-shoul
+ come here to teach doctrines S
traitorous to our existen ce a
the noblest nation of the eartl
surpasses all. Had he com
! here as the special messenger o
the priest-r ridden holes of th,
old world; as the ambassador fo
the divine Fighters of all cres
I ton. and as the agent of the sec
ret plotters of every place c
stored wealth, he could not be-
! ter have began his labors. NJ
we will not believe it. We hav
q heard him stand upon the ros
trum and advocate doctrines a
. noble as man could utter. II
|. has fallen upon sad houl
n When he arouses from the spe
that bound him he will conside
. of better ways. A man of hi
mind, who, in his lucid moments
: advocates principles and theorie
q worthy of the highest humanit
cannot be so fallen. The UNSEt
q TARTAN COMMON SCHOOL is th
I CRADLE of LIBERTY; it is tn
pillar on W hich our Liberty rest
n it is the cap-stone of Liberty
: monument; and he who trys,
I the least to-divert it course
+ usefulness is TRAITOR /. L.e
Rev. B. H. Roberts awake to h
better nature.
