and all their old antiquated methods.
The morning after the fire the ed.-
| tors and their assistants wiped the
clnders out of their eyes and went to
work and today two OF them are DOM
iciled in modern fire-proot buildings
and are equipped with the best ma
chinery and furnishings that brains
and money can command. The others
will in the near future also have a
modern home.
| visited the editors and their assist
ants. l found them all Intelligent,
manly men and none seemed to nave
mead too big Tor their hats. They all
now understand that Utah has been
woefully slandered both by her trait
ors at home and her enemies abroad.
These three great papers will do all
they can to put Utah right with the ma
| ton. Baltimore has had little or
Utah's experience. The percentage OF
Catholics in Baltimore is as great as
that of the Mormons in Salt Lake. 1t
was only a few years ago that the a.
p. AS assisted by fanatical orthodox
preachers and sore-head rejected pol
iticians travelled through the country
wearing the yellow flag of religious
persecution, delivering anti-Cathollc
lectures, distributing anti-Catholic
tracts, and passing the hat. Maryland
was first settled by Catholics and Bal
timore was selected as the home of the
first arch bishop and the first cardinal.
1t was used as a target for mud-throw-
| ing guns.
The American party A. P. AS of
Salt Lake City Is an exact reproduction
of the old anti-Catholic A. p. AS and
their methods are the same.
The anti-Catholic A. p AS. said that
the Catholics did not believe in edu-
cation and that they fought all insti-
tutions OF learning, that they were
unprogressive and behind the times.
Did they tell the truth? Baltimore
has some OF the greatest institutions
OF learning on the globe. Immediately
after the great fire in Baltimore all
religious and political differences were
laid aside. Catholics and Protestants,
Democrats and Republicans, put their
shoulders to the wheel as one and to-
day stands new Baltimore. So many
perfect buildings erected and so much
progress was never before accom-
plished from so much chaos in so
short time. The anti-Mormon A. p.
AS. of Utah and abroad proclaim that
the Mormons are ignorant and do not
take to education. l will say in an
swer to these Robert Stevensonized
falsehoods that Mormon students in
the eastern colleges and universities
have taken more prizes during the
past few years for standing the high
est in their classes, than the students
belonging to any other church, relig-
Ion. sect or creed, in the United States.
Near the beginning of this article l
spoke of Baltimore's open sewers. In
May 1905, Baltimore voted $1OOOO,0OO
10 build new sewers and to do away
with the old. 1t saw that the open
sewer was menace and a curse 1t
frightened away capital and settlers as
no one wanted to invest or settle in a
CITY that tolerated the open sewer.
Salt Lake also has the open sewer that
emlts foul odors that brighten capital
and settlers away from Utah. l refer
now to Tom Kearns' Salt Lake Trib-
une and Telegram, and Todkin's
Weekly, and the Gentle Bureau of in
formation. The editorials they write,
the tracts they send out, and the
speeches they make are of the foulest
and falsest kind. The stencil they make
10 ln1ure Utah reaches the bigoted
and the religious eastern papers who
publish the nefarious fasehoods to
