LOCAL ISLANDER.
"And now l ask you the question:"
said Gov. Cutler, after reviewing To-
,al affairs briefly, and bringing on.
me point that whatever the religious
yeeis of the teachers, they must nave
iyed IN close contact with members of |
! religion it has been a pastime 10 |
lbuse. DO you think these people are
apable of the stupidity or the criml- |
utility, OF both. attributed to them! |
Are they murderers, adulterers. liars, !
hieyes, oppressors, haters OF good, low |
rs of evil? Are they so lacking in IN |
elect or win power that they would |
lace themselves absolutely under the |
way Of corrupt and tyrannous men?
If the answer Is affirmative, then
onsider that you are justified In shak-
ng from your feet the dust of so COR
upt and terrible a commonwealth. IL |
cgative, then II Is not only your priv

Dung and builders of the coming citl-
enship TO meet these ISLANDERS and
reclaim the truth regarding the state

ordingly, l have always proclaimed to

allr false witness, the more inexcusa-
lie when perpetrated by citizens of the

Ietion and the citizenship you are
elplng TO shape. l ask you teachers
)t to aid in any way In the dissem-
alton of these misleading statements.
ASK YOU for the sake OF these future
uzens, TO impress upon their minds
e iact--for 1t is a fact---that Utah is
every essential particular one of the
osl desirable communities on EARTH
RESTRAINT UPON CHILDREN.
Gov Cutler opened his address with
ieiafence to the power of education
restrain children from starting In
proper paths. He said in part:
- know that like all other matters
'ncaton is regarded through the
ec'acles of each ones opinions and
eludice, and the needs of the COM
unl'y as he sees them. | must ac-
loWledse a certain degree of prcju-
re- and rather strong opinions on the
utter of education: and wish today
express some of my Views. What I
y may not be orthodox from the
ihdpoint OF professional teachers,
