On Sunday, May 20, 1910, we printed
in these columns an article pertaining
to one nhase of the liquor question in
Utah. One Of these items appearing in
that article made reference to an Incl
dent that was supposed TO have oc-
Cured at the Kaysville Coop. Upon
information which we deemed to be re-
liable at the time land which undoubt-
edly was so in the faith of the mar
rator) we said that at one time the
superintendent of that institution
ordered a certain box of dry goods to
be opened, and that the employee break
ing the package unearthed three
gallon Jug of intoxicating liquor The
inference was left that the liquor so
surreptitiousIy shipped had been
brought in by the knowledge and with
the connivancc of the superintendent.
We are now Informed from source
that we know TO he reliable, because
the gentleman who made the statement
to us is an upright and truthful man
OF splendid repute in his community,
that we were in error to the extent of
imputing any knowledge Of any such an
incident to the superintendent. We
therefore make this correction with the
cheerfulness and pleasure that results
from knowledge that one whom we have
always held in high esteem. namely, the
superintendent of the Kaysvillc Coop,
has maintained his right to our highest
consideration. Although it NAV have
been that some employee PLAYED
prank of that kind, the superintendent
knew nothing of it whatever This we
are glad to say in merited justice to
the parties concerned. The superintend |
emf Of that institution has held that DO
sitIon ever since the year 1S69-which
is glowing tribute to his honest ad |
and splendid business sa.
gacity.

as the Davis stake of the Mormon
