OUT UPON THE AGITATORS.

To paraphrase Gratiano, there are
those who only are reputed brave for
raising disturbances.
They feel aggrieved and revenge
themselves upon a people. They are
disgruntled over the result of an cleo
ton and spread the contagion of their
Virulence throughout the nation. They
hope 10 create dissension in the ranks
of an opposition party, and so discredit
the enterprise of local citizens. They
conceive q dislike for a man, or a fac
ton, or a party, and slap the whole
community in the face to reach the
object of their wrath or his following.
BY some this is called aggressiveness;
nut others look upon it as pure cussed-
ness.
When local money and men under
take to and labor to develop commerce
ii Utah, when capitalists are constant
ly bringing in money from the outside
and adding it to the wealth of the
state, when they are actually engaged
in this work of Improvement, it is not
the part Of good sense or good citizen
ship to decry that work, to under
estimate its value, or to ascribe Interior
motives to the men who are prescott
ing it.
Some folks have strange ideas of in
dependence. They seem to think that
the only way to show their untram-
neled aggressiveness is to abuse or
misrepresent all with whom they dis
agree, or to reflect upon the intentions
or motives of those whose plans appar-
emily conflict with their own.
What Utah needs right now, and
needs badly, is public spirit, enterprise,
unity Of purpose, encouragement of
capital, fair treatment of investors, an
application OF horse sense and business
principles.
The calamity howIers, the disturbers
of the peace, the storm-starters, the
augurs of evil. the ember-stirrers, the
agitators, the knockers, should be sup
pressed.
Give the state chance, the people
their dues. capital its opportunities and
labor its reward.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-01-03
plsINTERESTED VIEWS.

y is in order for the thousands of
GentiIes who voted for 3. II. Roberts
10 meet with vigorous protest the
eastern movement against his being
seated. The agitators do not seem to
have sense enough to reflect that Utah
Centiles who have been fighting poly
Gany for a quarter of q century are not
opposing Mr.. Roberts.-Bingnam Bulle-
tin.
That is sensible talk. 1t has the right
ring in it, the proper motive behind it.
The best view Of the matter to take is
the common sense view. It will con-
vince reasonable people at home or
abroad that local problems are finding
their own solution; that all this asita-
ton viii not expedite the charge of
sentiment in Utah: that the tendenc>
of misrepresentation and intolerance is
TO hinder progress in this direction.
There are hundreds of Mormons. too,
for that matter VINO are as mach op-
posed to the practice OF rolygamy as
are these members of the contest hu-
reau which is striving TO stir up sec
tartan strife for personal or political
reasons. But the only requirement made
of the Mormon people, by or on hehaif
OF the government, has been lived up

people of any other locality or denoini-
