4 Some OF the political trlcksters who

There are people here. some OF them
writer's for the press, who nre densely
ignorant both OF Utah history and

are the readest of kickers against

that It Is not moving In political at

LOGAN AND THE CITY PRESS

The Logan Journal IL "out OF sorts
because the Salt Lake press has not,
in it's opinion, enlarged sufficiently on
the entertainment afforded to the mem.
bers OF the Irrigation Congress who WIS.,
tied the capital 'of Cache on Saturday,
Sept. 10. We do not take the rebuke
to ourselves, because the Deseret News
has given considerable space to the
matter, but we notice the remarks OF
the Journal for two reasons; one Is
that too much cannot be said in praise
OF the manner In which the great at
fair was managed by our Cache valley
friends, and by the Agricultural College
in particular. and the other is that the
Journal is 'off wrong" In stating that,
"The city press Is very insular In It's
predictions and prejudices, and II
there Is anything lovely or OF good re-
port, or pralseworthy elsewhere In the
State outside OF the 2O-mile limit, I'M
less II can In somewlse be used 20 en-
nance the glory OF Salt Lake, II IN con-
veniently overlooked or forgotten"
The trip to Logan and the treat
given to the visitors were pronounced
the browning pleasure OF the Irrigation
Congress. The manner in which they
We're received, taken In carriages 20 the
principle points In Logan Toasted at the
College and returned In safety to the
train, was the subject Of universal COM
mendation. II was marvel to many
and the grand view Of the city and val
ley from the College grounds, was pro-
nounced unrlvalled in Europe or Amer
lea, The institution and It's officers and
faculty are entitled TO the unstinted
praise OF the excursonists and the
News" Is pleased to echo and endorse
all the encomiums bestowed by the dele
gates.
Now, as to the Journals "twenty-mile
limit" The answer to that Is the state
page OF the Deseret News, which, every
day, contains more items concerning
that which is lovely or Of good report
or pralseworthy," besides much of an
other sort, from places all over Utah,
Logan included than can be found In the
journal for month We do not say
this to reflect upon our northern con-
temporary, which we regard as an able
and enterprislng country paper but to
rebut the notion that anything by way
of real tldings ls overlooked or for
gotten" by the Deseret News, to say
nothing Of the other Salt Lake papers.
We fear the Journal has not exams
ined the pages of the Salt Lake press
very carefully, or that II has been SUI
ferlng from 1T OF the blues. Logan Is
all right. the Agricultural College Is
splendid Institution, and Cache valley
knows how TO handle a great crowd Of
visitors In magnificent style and with
| unbounded hospitality.

There has been a widespread belief
that the ties OF religion have been weak
ening In recent years, SO much inde-
pendent thinking has been done that
the tendency seems more and more
away from any recognition Of religious
authority. The extent to which this
movement has affected the Catholic
church Is uncertain. A conflict between
church and union in a city where there
were many Catholic printers would
show something Of the prevailing at
titude of artisans toward their profess
sed creed IL most Of them We're willing
10 forego the sacrament OF absolutlon
In order to stand by the union, 1t might
be inferred that there had been not
able relaxation Of the ohurchs hold
over her children. This aspect OF the
affair Is what gives especial interest to
the attitude Of the Catholic clergy to-
ward the printers oath.

The decline Of the custom Of family
worship IA one OF the grayest dangers
that meets the church In our day, For
religion is not something TO think about
merely in the church or on special occa-
sions, but always and everywhere.
Nothing helps so much TO make religion
a reality to the child, and therefore to
the man, as daily worship In the fam
lily. II makes the father a true priest
and hallows the very atmosphere OF the
home. Many father, n his children
would speak what is In their hearts,
would be asked a question similar to
that OF the little girl who one day said
TO her father: Papa, Is God dead9"
The parent was shocked AT the ques-
ton. At last he said My child, why
do you ask such question as that
Don't You know that God Isn't dead 2"
why, 7 thought, papa, that God must
be dead, for you don't ask him any
more TO take care OF us as you used to-"
II Is thus that parents train their chill
dron to skepticlsm. They are acting as
though God we're dead or else that Il
didn't matter much whether HIS bless
Ing were invoked or his aid asked.
