WOULDN'T THIS MAKE YOU
DIZZY?
on page 6. column 8. OF the Tribune
party organ yesterday morning. the
following statement is found:
In spite. however, Of the feryent invi-
tations of the church organ for
criminals of all degrees TO come
here, this city IS not more in
tested with laWbreakers than
any other cities of the class OF
Salt Lake.
It is altogether unnecessary TO an
swer that statement, which, of course,
is not true at the present time. for
the Tribune itself answers it carefully
on page ., column l, and shows why
its statement on page is Incorrect.
Here is the Tribune's answer to its
own statement:
That many (criminals) have come
via Salt Lake this yearis not sur
prising for several reasons. The
prizefight at Reno between Jet-
fries and Johnson attracted an
q
character. who. after the fight,
scattered themselves over the
west many Of them coming 60
salt Lake. Another reason Is
that the race tracks OF the east
have been closed and the race
track tOuts and hangers-On have
come west, where racing with
bOOkmaking Is permitted. and
with the race track comes the
train of attendant evils in the
form of drug fiends. women or
flI-repute and criminals of all
descriptions.
There. you see. you have your
choice You can believe what the
forty years ago" Tribune says on its
second page, or you can believe what it
says on its sixth page. The two state
ments are directly opposite, SO one Of
them isn't true, and you can take Your
/ choice. Our private advice TO you is
not TO believe either one OF them.
ANYBODY that tries to follow Tribune
reasoning is certain sooner or later to
J become a patient Of Dr. Calder a.
/ Provo.
But the preponderance of evidence,
/ according to the Tribune, is that the
criminals are here. because on page
s. column .. in the next column 10
that which holds the first excerpt in
this article. it says:
Besides, there are the church organs
here which have constantly for
the past five years been herald
ing To the country that salt Lake
is a good place for criminals 10
come 10. That here they can
.rfr
unmOlested. that the American
party's enforcement OF the law Is
a negligible quantity. Naturally,
this has the effect TO bring Grim
inals here, and on their coming
they very naturally wish TO pur-
sue their criminal calling. In
this, they are abetted by the in
fluence that brought them here.
So, therefore. you can take your
choice again. Now we can settle down
TO a realization Of the fact that the
criminals are here. and that they arc
being aided and abetted by somebody
that the Tribune doesn't like. But, my
goodness, Agnes. we can't do that
either, for here. on page 6. column 8,
Of the Tribune we find this. and it has
US all mixed up again:
In fact, the criminals know very
we'll that the invitation extended
to them was a hollow mOckery.
They know they cannot commit
crime anywhere unmOlested.
They did not come in any great
numbers. They are not here TO
any alarming extent
So from that we would deduct that
the criminals are not here. at least
not very many of them. and that they
are punished when they cmnmi.
crime. SO Wen accept that as a basis
Ciarice, but we are certainly getting
an awful headache.
What Can we believe our eyes
All mixed up again. Look at it. Here
is what the Tribune says in column
of that same page 6. Of that same issue
from which all of this has been taken:
First OF all, we have a criminal class
here that holds itself above the
law and claims the right to defy
the law at It's pleasure. In the
interest OF this class, the GRIM
inal statutes and practice of this
state have been made distinctly
favorable to criminals Of al
Kinds. When IL comes to any
procedure in court, the criminal
has the better of the practice and
OF the law.
Right after learning that the ''invi-
tation TO criminals was "a hollow
mockery" and that they would be ter.
ribly punished If they came here. We
find that the criminal has every chance
in the world. in fact che has the bet;el
of the practice and of the law"
Let's quit. Agnes. We're both get.
ting such a headache.
The fact is that the Tribune party
organ is in a bad hole and dOesn'
