The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1906-11-24
BEHOLD THE SLANDERER.

1t seems to be the fate of the present editor OF
The Intemountain Catholic to make a charge,
whether true does not enter into the question:
against contemporary, and have outsiders pick
up the gauntlet whom the affair in wise con
Germs Whether this is due to a childish desire to
get into the limelight of publicity whether it IS
due to a sluggish condition of the liver which
dose of cod liver oil would have cured, is unprov
able but the latest usion from the ruined city OF
California is as fun of personal and vindctive
malice as the teeth of Lucifer.
The character of our inquisitve, no
toriety and publcity-seekng antagonist limits our
answer to certain confines but we are compelled, in
justice to this papers character for truth and fair
play at least to hint at some of the imperfections
OF the perpetrator of this latest fishmonger's out
burst.
Our bitterest enemy, who is Beelzebub. viii adj
nit that the Leaders shy vomit (justice prevents
Us from designating ii an artice) Is destitute OF
solid and reasoning argument as a mosquito is Of
underclothes. but Is as full of eulogy as decayed
tooth is OF pain.
1t has been asserted in these columns that
welcomed honorable journalistic antagonism. but
may the Eternal Creator defend us from Singing
from cesspool heart, (Which the slanderer pos
sesses. wherein nothing lives but the love of pride
and personal exaltation, an arrogant fouting of
bishops authority, using which Lucifer wenigh
broke the loving heart of Christ, if that pos
sible) Shiny epithets such as nameless vagrant, En-
glish converts are a foul breed, etc, etc.
Permit us as debt of equity to ourselves to dis
abuse some of the ignorant assertions made with
cut proof by the valiant defender of the ward heel
and political parasites OF city seated in sor-
row and ashes, pusillaninious Hercules who pros
titutcs the powerful intellect the Almighty Savior
gave him to shield men who plfered funds in
tended for the stricken widows and weeping, home
less orphans of the sorey tried and fre-scarred mu
nicpality. in the hour of its vital need when even
devils would be merciful and honest
The writer of this arraignment is indeed proud
Of the enemies he is arousng and creating for
himself and does not mentally, physically honest
ly fear them any time in the future. He
has aroused so-called Catholic editors who know
10 more of charity and justice than Satan himself
and who formerly in their lives whether they have
repented or not we do not know, sought to de-
throne authority in the Catholic Church of Jesus
Christ thereby living up to the detestable charac-
ter of anti-Christ!

OF Connanght, and so let this stupid blunderer

in the bosom of Gods Church, who has with his
