It seems that the validity OF the or
dinance under which the board of
health and the health commissioner
acted in declaring that the products of
the J. w. Beman and Larmore & Co.
ice cream manufacturing firms were
brought, will decide whether or not
the injunction will be issued, although
there are other things which are being
considered. The ordinance, however
was the main point of attack of the

ments this morning

cases tending to show that the city au-

sphere in warning the people against
using the goods made by the two
firms. He also contended that it was
the duty of the health commissioner
to give warnings to the people as to
the quality of goods that was sold
them as well as to prosecute dealers
who disposed of goods that did not
meet the standards of the ordinance.

THE INcoNsIDERATE YoUNGLING

Why this dank, dripping silence on
the part Of the morning church organ
concerning its recent attack upon the
Hon, W c. A, Smoot!
1t is becoming evident that, to use a
common but expressive term. the Her
aid Republican "barkcd up the wrong
tree when il paid uncompllmcntary
attention TO the good old Bishop. Mr.,
Smoot wrote letter in reply to the
organ Of the Aaronics, and which was
printed in Sunday morning s Tribune, IN
which he presented facts from personal
knowledge that set the undcrstudy OF
the Deseret News in a pitiable guam
dary. There is no doubt that Mr.,
Smoot had justification for his surmlse
that the editorial which appeared IN
the morning "Mouth' was written or
inspired by one of the feeders al the
tithinc house crib-in other words, the
official blacklistcr of the Mormon
church. having place in the church his
torian IS Office 1t is evident, too. that
the young upstart fred of all his am
munition at the first shot, Just as one
of his iDeXpcrience and fanatical en-
thusiasm would be expected 10 do. Ii
is the painful duty Of The Tribune to
inform the parties concerned that such
is not the case with the object of their
vicious attack. Mr.. Smoot has an
abundant store of facts remaining in
his possession which shall presently
come forth, according to the promise
made in his replying letter of Sunday
morning. Presentation Of these truths
by one of personal experience IN the
matter Of which they treat is not calcu-
lated, by any means, TO bring comfort
or soace to the malicious detractors of
the splendid character of an honest and
honorable man. They will find, we feel
sure, that Mr. Smoot is quite as fearless
as he is righteous; and that the wrath
of righteous man, with truth and
Justice on his side, is more TO be re
spccted and feared than is all the ven.
ON of all the devils that were ever cast
Out of heaven.
We have been asked TO explain, if VIC
could, why it was that the Deserel
News did not take up the cudgels
against Bishop Smoot, instead of leaving
it to its morning understudy. To cut
the reply short, we will simply say that
the Deseret News knew It's man anG
did not dare to take up controversy
with him The Herald Republican was
merely used as a catspaw-the "fal
guy, as the bows put it,
