DooToRING THE NEWS.

The Herald's morning contemporary
seems bent upon making its unreliable
ity as conspicuous as possible, and
even doctors" the Associated Press
dispatches in order to mislead the pub
lie. The points of muster for the vol
unteer troops of Utah and Idaho were
designated by the war department at
Ogden and Pendleton, Ore, respective
~, and so given by the Associated
Press on Monday and again on Tues
day, but the Tribune deliberately and
without authority from any source,
changed them each day to Salt Lake
and Pocatello. Any newspaper that
wiIlfuIly campers with the dispatches
and alters official statements, is guilty
of forgery. and can lay no claim to re-
liability, or even responsibility. Gov
ernor Wells, learning through The Her
aid that Ogden had been designated as
the rendezvous for Utah, yesterday
recommended a change to Salt Lake,
and the change was promptly made by
the war department. The rendezvous
for Idaho has also been changed from
Pendleton, Ore, to Boise, by request of
Governor Steunenberg.

We fully agree with the New York
Commercial Advertiser that the young
men in whom the fighting spirit does
not flare out on occasion are wanting
in vigor and sanity. The stock from
which they come is clearly decaying.
No charge of this kind can be made
against the young men in American
colleges, for in all these institutions
students are eagerly proffering their
services for the flag. incidentally these
young men are effectually disposing Of
the notion that American colleges are
nurseries for cultivation of alien ideas
and sympathies."
