THIS Is ENOUGH.

The frequent repetition Of an untruti

the chicken kind that comes home Il
roost," has no added terrors because Of
frequent iteration These are lessons
commended to the Salt Lake Tribune
which seems to be under the impression
that its daily attacks on the Deseret
News, obtain the force which they lack
In substance by reyamping and recur-

The Exposure which that paper
speaks Of as though It were dlspleasing
to us, excites our risibilities and ere
ates pity for the writer, who is too
dense TO perceive the conclusion which
his own logic CD makes inevitable
Starting out with the charge that last
winter the News" edItorlally, not only
opposed compulsory vaccination, but
the practice OF vaccination by anybody
or for anybody, the Tribune made quo
tations from our columns which proved
the reverse Of its contention. Carefully
avoiding our repeated announcement
that It was not vaccination for those
who believed IN 1t that we opposed, but
only It's enforcement upon those who

Interpretation OF their meaning. but
even then leaving evidence TO every
reasoning reader that It utterly failed

Now It repeats, daily, the statement
that, "The editorial management Of the
Deseret News Is totally depraved and
a curse to the State" This stereotyped
expression on which the Tribune seems
to thlnk'it has a patent, is occasionally |

and reasoning are as convincing as they |
are elegant and may be briefly classed |

But seeing our contemporary has
run out Of quotations from the News"
and these formed a pleasing feature OF
its editorial page, we will supply few

dates as those which It so carefully
selected, and which It has endeayored
so assiduously but valnly 10 misnter-

THE controversy will go on and re-
ceiye supporters on either side. 1t
should be conducted with respect for
the views OF disputants, and without
those too positive statements which are
commonly used In such contention.
THE Deseret News does not wish to
prevent any person from resorting 70
vaccination or any other supposed rem
edy for the spread OF disease II Is OBJ
posed TO assaults upon the liberty OF
the citizen 20 the extent which some
reckless people propose. The quaran-
tine is frequently necessity. It should
be strictly observed when imposed by
the proper authorities. Schools and
public gatherings should be suspended
when absolutely necessary. We do not
believe, however, that there Is any rea-
son for such extreme measures at press
