the committee hit upon Judge Goodwin
for many reasons as the most suitable
gentleman.
The judges address was as follows:
Ny Brother Editors:
Mr Rognon asked me- to read you a few
lines on the theme The Country Editor
AS we are all country editors. differing
only in degree. we can have a little tax
on that theme here in confidence among
ourselves. and thus perhaps be better pre-
pared to go out and be better masters to
the people. A gentleman kindly intimated
10 me once that editorial schOolmaSters
were about the worst he ever saw. l told
him there were two reasons why that
toughest set of pupils on earth, and sec
md we were the worst paid. He wished
% enter into an argument TO establish 4
hat we were overoaid considering the
dnd Of work performed. but / s-uelched
lin by suggesting that he try the beau
les of the profession himself. and init
mated strongly to him that in one depart +
nent / was sure he would shine. lie
wanted to know what that was, and 1
old him as a horrible exampls.
/ believe that most of you gentlemen /
present. when in a close place for a sub .
oct have in times past turned to the I
Tribune as a good mark to shoot at l .
AVE read where you have declared a .
lifTerent times that it did not pretend TO 1
)e consistent: that it was a clear case /
hat it had been bought; that it was I'M
ust to the Mormon people; that it had .

IS most sacred principles were easy |
hings to purchase; that il was rich and /
rrogant; that il was on it's last legs and /
vas therefore Desperate: that 1t was
ound to either boss things or smash /.
hem. and a great many other pleasant /
hings of the same kind, until ] sometimes
ave wondered -how it was that among
o many mind-readers. the people had
ever learned to appreciate the paper at
IS real worth. l believe that. Mcdaniel.
There have been many kindly things
aid of it. also. and these / have fled
way in my soul. and every day ring the
ellis Of memory to call them up and re-
eat them. for those things are songs in
carts when they are growing old, and
lake music when outside all the world
still.
