THE CASE OF j, S. WHITE.

The Tribune has received n communi
cation, of which the following is (,
complete and correct copy:
Pennington. Utah. Jan. 20, 1910.
Editor Salt Lake Tribune. Salt Lake
City, Utah.
Dear Sir; This is to notify you that
the charges made against me in your Is
sues of January Is and 10, 1910, are false
l demand an immediate retraction, Yours
| respectfully. JOHN 5. WHITE.
We desire to assure Mr.. White that
if, upon further and fuller investiga.

placed him in wrong light before the
public, this paper will do him the JUS
tice that is every honest mans due
and that this paper will cheerfully nc.
cord. The Tribune is not disposed to
in any way misreptesent any indi-
vidual; and if in this case it shall con-
clude that it has been deceived,
whether unintentionally or purposely, it
will not be backward in stating the
facts as it finds them. And The Trib-
une keeps its promises.
Meantime we shall state that prior TO
the receipt of Mr.. Whites letter we re-
ceived a copy of the Weekly Reflex
of January 10, 1910, at the head of
whose editorial columns appears the
announcement, "John S, White, edi-
tori Accompanying this announce
ment is the additional information that
the paper is printed at Pennington,
Utah. In the issue here designated is
leading editorial in reply to the
matter contained in The Tribune of
which its editor complains personally.
This article contains some denials
which justice TO Mr.. White prompts
us TO repeat in substance,
Mr.. White denies that he is the
editor Of David P. Felt's paper, the
Argus, or that Mr. Felt has anything
whatever to do with that publication
AS we understand the matter, the
Weekly Reflex is successor to the
Argus, and that the change has been
of comparatively recent date. 1t may
be that our informant was either not
sufficiently impressed with the change
to cause him to exercise proper care
in this part of his statement, or he had
forgotten it, 1t amounts to nothing.
however, so it ought to be permitted
to pass.
Mr.. White denies that he is superin
tendent Of the Pennington Sunday
school. We have since been told that
it is the South Pennington Sunday
school that Mr.. White presides over.
But inasmuch, also, as the error in this
matter was so trivial, that, too, should
be permitted to pass. 1t is noticeable
that Mr.. White makes no mention
OF the South Pennington Sunday-schooI
superintendency, 1t may be, though,
that The Tribune is not correctly in.
formed even in this Sinatter, but it
would hardly be possible.
MIR. White asserts that the series of
questions which The Tribune printed
on January 18th were manufactured
IN this office. We beg to assure him
that such is not the case, and to saw
that they came to The Tribune from
what 1t considered to be reliable

in the great ports were made to believe
that the navy was not kept up to proper

the Salt Lake City school district viii
not by any means be a vote against
IA needed high school. Much less will
. it be n vote unfavorabe to education
or adverse to the schools. 1t will simply
be vote OF lack of confidence in the
grating control of the present school
board. This grating control continues
right up to the present time, tho De
cember payrolls carrying the Newman
crowd at exorbitant rates of pay just as
before, save only that the proper names
of the employees were given in place of
false or fictitious names, as formerly.

1t has not been manifest, however, to

TO resist. There would be too much
opportunity for collusion and participa.
tlon in the building contracts for the
grating members to neglect.
The civic committee, in plea
printed this morning, urges that a num-
Der of the members of the school board
are men of high character, good bust

of course, is true. There is not the

question to which Mr.. White object:
were based. We were told that Mr.
White had frequently been twitted by
old friends with having married the
"lIttle twin school teacher - and thai
he had iocularly acquicsccd in the
bantering, leaving all TO form then
own conclusions; that IT is not alto.
gother n secret among the citizens OF
Pennington that upon occasion rumoI
! TO the same effect has been heard
stated in all seriousness; that, IN fact
the marital situation in Davis
county, generally, so far as it affects
the Mormon church, has induced the
higher church authorities 10 order an
| investigation, So that our informant
felt that he had fair ground for his
| statement, We submit to the public
that n matter of this nature is too
serious to be jested with; and we add
that heretofore there has been in
Utah too little regard paid to new
polygamous marriages, even where tho
wrong doing is of practical public
knowledge, This is unfortunate, too; ;
because if The Tribune has been led
into error with respect to Mr.. White
the chief cause for it may be traced
TO this very condition. IF, on the con.
trary, there WAS immediate punish.
ment-even though that camo only in
ecclesiastical discipline-the public
would be able to Judge as to who were
the guilty ones, and would have less
cause to distrust men against whom
suspicion may be raised as they
do now in view Of the fact that the
evil may exist in any quarter for all
they are able to determine. That it
exists at ali, and that it goes un-
punished, breeds a general spirit of
suspicion that can draw no particular
lines of distinction.
Mr., White suggests that if so and
so be true, why not The Tribune or
others bring in the 'flittle twin school
teacher for proof? That is rather
ungallant, besides bearing evidence OF
untairness. 1t has been stated by The
Tribune scores Of times that it is i'm.
possible for outsiders to bring convict
iHS Bipol VI pOlyGamOuS marriages.
The history of the prosecutions dur
ing Territorial days demonstrates this.
We believe that the late George
Reynolds was the only man convicted
of polygamy in those times, and even
the Deseret News asserted at the time
hat Mr., Reynolds furnished the evi-
ience against himself in order to
supply a test case, and that conviction
would have been impossible without his
production Of testimony. |

The Bible, during tho early centuries,
underwent various rev!sioDs UP to the

the art OF printing was discovered. and
the next translation was made by VIII

The Geneva Bible appeared during the
reign of queen Mary. the New Testa,
1860. The Bishops Bible was printed by
order OF Queen Elizabeth in 1868, When

the proposal with eagerness, and drew
up, with his own pen, the rules for trans

This version is a very scholarly one
and an Improvement on the old, because
a number OF manuscripts had been dis

In 1901 was produced the American re-
