If this is not speaking for, to and in tn,

] Again, on Feb. IL, in an editorial styled
"A cry for the right" we find sthe usua
tirade directed against some of the Off
Gals in the Mormon church, and the bug
aboo concludes with threat in the name
OF Young Utah as follows:
| And we tell the dominant church lead
ers that if either attempt is persisted in
Young Utah will finally crush it out. y
indeed! Where, when and how did the

proceed:
Which shall it be?' is the caption of
another screed on reb. IA, 1883. After re-
people, polygamy in Utah, etc, it finally
reaches something about germs which, il
seems, they desire to be killed, and then
the Tribune asserts:.
1T is for Young Utah to perform that
task. These germs it appears, at this
particular time, are operating in the edi-
tors gray matter, and eventually develop
dlstrust, and the said distrust calls for
the offlciaf statement of the Tribune
that: 1t is for Young Utah to say
whether this distfust shall continue and
hcf hEr~ IN at -l,n II.
OFF the encumbrance and be itself again.
1t is for Young Utah to determine wheth-
er the motto shall be progress or retro
greSsion.'
Once more we repeat the question: Is
not this speaking for, to and in behalf of
YOUNG Utah? In their editorial of Feb.
da y, 1871 $be entitled What ;h1 win Young Utah
thoughtfully Senator Cannon's speech,
and make VOW to hold up his hands?''
e etc, and on Feb; 10, under the heading of
article against the Deseret News by say
ing: Its cThe News columns show how
faithfully the work is being carried on,
that it is time for it to act 1t is time
for Young Utah to act" Why? Because
the Tribune has so stated; and the public
will please accept this as proof of the
Tr1buQe's recent declaration: why; bless
their souls, the Tribune has never as
sumed to speak for Young Utah" OF
course not!
AS cumulative evidence, read their
editorial. Who are friends" on JAN Is.
1893, as follows: Again we appeal to the
Mormon people, and especially to Young
freedom of their manhood and woman
hood to insist etc. On Jan Z, 1899, the
Tribune says: There is a, serious side
to these letters and Young Utah should
make note of it!'
And to give one more example-out
OF the score we have on hand-We refer
to their files for January Z, 1899. Here
is a leader, entitled, "a Evangel
Needed, which opens as foHows:
rs there no evangel among the young
Mormons of Utah who has strength
enough to come forward and make an
appeal to his fellow Mormons some
thing after this style: Men and Breth-
ren-Here' -"
T!-aa follows sample of what these
self-appointed champions of young
Utah think this "evangel young Nor
mon" ought TO say.
After making him express some char
acteristic nonsense, this Tribune editor,
as an "evangel young Mormon" con-
cludes IN these words:
WE ALL STAND UNDER, SUSPIC-
ION, AND FORTY-FOUR STATES
ARE POINTING TO Us. AS PLEDGE
BREAKERS. LET US GIVE THE
NATION NOTICE THAT WE ARE
TRUE MEN AND WOMEN, AND
AMERICANS ABREAST OF THE
MOST LOYAL AND MOST TRUE.
LET Us GALL A HALT ON THESE
FEW UNWORTHY LEADERS WHO
ARE MAKING THE SOLEMN COVE
NANTS OF THE FIRST PRESI-
DENCY OF OUR CREED OF NO Eff
Feet, AND TAINTING OUR GOOD
NAME BEFORE THE WORLD.
why, bless their souls, the Tribune
has never assumed to be the organ of
young Utah. All their charges are
false
What reckless subterfuge! What cow
ardly evasion! The above samples from
their own editorials are not a 1.-THE of
the evidence we possess but these
alone are sufficient to brand as abso-
lutely worthless and false the sancti
monious, hyDocritical statement:
Why, bless their souls, the Tribune
never assumed to be the organ Of
young Utah.
The Tribune had better change its |
tactics. We offer this as a suggestion.

statement. Here, therefore, is their |

One word in conclusion upon the Trib-
