wide-awake western teachers, they
have made Salt Lake and Utah schools
monuments of learning that any city,
state or nation on the globe would be
proud of. Some of our best teachers
are from Luzerne county, Pennsylva-
mia. When they go home on a vaca-
ton and hear the revolving falsehoods
that are told by the Rev. II. G. Tiff,
Frank Cannon, Mrs. School, the devil
fish literature of the Ministerial as
ISOLATION and the degrading influence
Of the Salt Lake Tribune use1 to in
jure Utah, her schools and her people,
they truly are indignant and ashamed,
not of Utah as it is, but of the people
who are slandering her. Salt Lake
City and in fact, the great Salt Lake
valley, affords great opportunities for
factories and business enterprises.
This is demonstrated by the factories
and smelters, the car shops, the new
railroads and the amount of capital
that is being invested here by the
railroad companies. Most of the
preachers forgot to mention anything
Of that kind last Sunday.
The Rev. Elmer 1. Goshen preached
one of the best sermons ever listened
to on Salt Lake City last Sunday
morning. He did not enlarge on or
levote his whole time discussing the
evils of Salt Lake City. He spoke
Of them and pointed out a remedy.
lie told in very eloquent way of
our good schools and the opportun.-
les and the abundance of good ma
terial at hand to make Salt Lake
large and prosperous city. The Rev.
Peter Simpkin also gave our city a
good boost in his sermon.
The October and November num-
bers of the Intermountain Christian
Advocate, the organ of the Ministerial
association, is certainly trying to
knock Utah with it's old-time vigor.
1t devotes most of it's reading matter
to knocking the Utah schools AMI the
people in Utah in general. Here is
a specimen. In the October number
it says: "a Gentle merchant who
was superintendent of an undenomi-
national Sunday school numbering
forty, closed it because it hurt his
business among Mormon people
Here is another falsehood in the sam
number: During the past eight
months four Gentle families in Bear
River valley have sold their farms
and left the state. The reas1 IN given
for leaving is the existing conditions,
and that they could not remedy them
and would not stand them longer
We have hundreds of families in Be9r
River valley who came from eastern
states. I wonder il they clme to Utlh
because they could not stand the ex-
listing conditions at home? / would
advise the business men of this city
to go to the public library AMI read
the September, October and Novem-
Der issues of the Intermountain Ad-
vocate and see if they could imagine
that so much rot, falsehood and scan

scandalmonger. Also notice how
much good Christian reading matter
they can find in that publication. 1t
could be written on the back of a
postage stamp. Here is an item in
the Wilkesbarre, Pa, Almanac con-
corning two small suburban towns:
