tnaC Will make decent Utal c1tlZenS'
blood boil with indignation, it is the
way the Presbyterians are slandering
all schools in Utah and grossly insult
ing her teachers. To raise money for
their Westminster College, they are
villifying all Utahs institutions of
learning and are advertising them to
the whole world as mean and insuffic-
lent, and her teachers as disloyal and
corrupt. DR.. S. e. Wishard started
the Infamous calumny on December
last in the Herald and Presbyter, he
said, in begging money for the West.
minister College, Salt Lake:
This institution is the only loyal
American college in the State of Utah,
or within 500 miles of Salt Lake City
The State University at Salt Lake is
dependent upon Mormon legislature
for its financial life. About half of the
professors are reported to be Nor
mons. The other teachers are de
pendent upon Mormon favor for their
positions and maintenance, hence the
university lifts neither voice nor pen
against Mormon violation of law or in
defense of American institutions. The

1--WE who have long toiled in Utah
and have profoundly studied the peri
lous problems confronting both church
and state; We who are standing by the
flag and the purity of the home, are
convinced that Christian education and
Gospel evangelization are the instru-
mentalities that are to save Utah
Hence we must push this educational
and missionary work."
During the spring of this year Rob-
ert M. Stevenson, d. D., President of
the Salt Lake Westminster College
made a begging tour through the east
for this college. In Baltimore he de-
livered an address in large Presby-
terrain church. He used DR.. Wishard's
exact words except that he said this
college was the only loyal American
school within 600 miles of Salt Lake
City. He belittled and bemeaned
Utah's schools with filthy mud and
cast shame and reproach on the school
teachers of Utah and further stated
that the only place to get a loyal
American education within 600 miles
of Salt Lake was at the Westminster
college. In his audience sat many
Utah students Zone of them sang in
the choir) who were attending the
John Hopkins University, and they
were so ashamed to think that Utah
allowed such a villifier as Robert NJ
Stevenson, d. D., to roam at large
that they did not reply to him.
The ISLANDERS of DR.. S. e. Wishard
and President Stevenson were too
mild, they did not bring in enough
cash for their college so they issued
the following appeal for money for
their college. Herald and Presbyter,
May End, 1906, and identically the
same in the Interior, May 18th,
1906: "Presbyterians and patriots are
you interested in the effort to estab-
lish pure and undefiled religion in
Utah and the inter-mountain country?
If so how much are you Interested?
Are you interested beyond words OF
sympathy? Do you realize that form
of heathenism has fastened itself on
this country / hear some peo-
pie say send your young people to the
State University. Yes l know of
