The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1910-03-24

The editor of newspaper is often
accused of leaving out certain items
of news purposely, because for dis
like of the person to be mentioned,
or from prejudice or any other cause.
This is all bosh. The editor has some
thing like a million different things
to think of in connection with the
issue of one paper and it is not sur
prising if he misses an item occasion
ally or sometimes forgets one that
has been called to his attention. Nine
out of ten people you ask for news
items will tell you they can't think
of any. But in most cases they ex-
pect the editor to think of them all
and criticise if he fails in a single
item. The best way is to give the
editor credit for what he does find
and mention and help him to find
more next week.

CAUSE FOR OPPOSITION.

The November number of the I'm.
provemeut Era (the official monthly of
the Young Men S Mutual Improvement
associations of the Mormon church) con.
talns an interesting item in the follow
ing:

Wthstanding these threats, and that II
they appeared again on the street this
opponent would be there TO help carry
them out, another meeting was called;
and when the time arrived. this man. who
made boast TO lac there To tear down

1t is good to see in any young man
a high reverence for and deep faith
in the Infinite; and it is not our inten-
tion here to in any way attempt to
question whether or not this young mis-
sionary prayers had the effect at
tributed to them by him. But we desire
to call attention to what we consider
to be the cause for the opposition which
he met. There is no doubt in the world
that this particular opponent of whom
he speaks, and the others who joined
with him in his opposition, had heard
tidings of the doings of the chief priests
here in Utah. Long ago the news went
all over the civilized world that the
church which the young Mormon mis-
sionary represented was ruled by self
confessed lawbreak crs-men who held
it to be their special privilege to defy
the laws made by man and the com
mands uttered by the God in whom they
pretend TO believe. Under the circum-
ment at such opposition, because it is
natural in men to dcspise the lawless
and to repudiatc the hypocrite.
OF course, it will be 'contcnded that
this is by no means the first case where
in such opposition has been encountered.
aud that the missionaries have always
been obliged to preach under similar
difficulties. But at the same time, it
must also be remembered that the causes
for such opposition have always existed,
and that these causes have produced
these same effects during the history of
the missionary service.
Mormon missionaries have hard
time of it, and the proselytcs that they
make are few in number nowadays. |
They will grow fewer, too, as the ne.
farious work Of their church leaders in
Utah becomes moro widely known. The
Mormon church and its missionaries
have no greater enemies than arc to be |
found ia the ring Of ruling chief priests. |

ITS SAME OLD BOGY.

On Monday evening the Dcseret
News cditorially raised one Of it's old
cries, ~ may be noted in the follow
ing:
When fanatics array themselves against
thsir follow men on account Of differences
IN opinions. there, Is no end to silly
charges and misrepresentation. Every
one who has followed tho anti Mcrmon
crusade i'm Utah knows that He knows
that the opposition has exhausted every
means to make a point against the
church. no matter how ridiculous, un
reasonable.
First, it is necessary TO repeat that
there is and has been no "anti- Nor
moa crusade in Utah. ' The warfare,
as the News very we'll knows, has been
against tho Iawbrcaking and usurping
officIaldom Of the Mormon church,
There is not a GENTLE in Utah who
would not be content To see that or
ganizatiou proceed in a legitimate way
to- exercise power for good among
mankind M Il strictly religious body,
The controversy is with the men in
power in that church who seek to
utilize its strength for Interior pur'
poses-n promoting and fostering
practices that are alien to our Amer
can civilization. With the honest and
iawabding Mormon people there is no
quarrel, as these people can readily and
tTuthfully affirm after contact and as
Sociation with the Gentilcs in business
md in social affairs. This outburst of
the News is merely in continuation of
It's old effort to set ny the decent rank
and file of the Mormon people in front
of the lawless and usurping element Of
the Mormon church as a bulwark of
defense against the demands of the
law and order clement in Utah.
So far as ''fanatics' - are concerned,
is it possible to conceive of anything
or anybody more fanatical than the
Deseret News and its masters? 1t is
their fanaticsm. that has been the con-
stant source of turmoil during tho en-
tire history of the church As religious
fanatics they have always determined
to he law unto themselves. They
have been forever intrudiug upon the
communities in which they have dwet
--tIhtll'-iH tHtoIItS OI
out of which have grown the grossest
tyrGn2ias and the vilest practices
True, there has been emo end TO silly
charges and Misrepresentation, but
they have come from the News and its
lawbreaking favoritcs. Whenever The
Tribune has made charges against the
Melchlsedek tyrants and dcfiers Of God
and man, they have not been "silly
charges and misrepresentation. " We
have given the evidence complete in
support Of those charges, together with
names, dates. circumstances, chapters,
verses, and pages. And what. is more,
this paper has produced so much proof
of this character that the News has
been driven out of the controversy al |
together, except, as in this case, when
it returns with lie upon its lips.
The trouble with the News and the
chief priests of the church is that so
many "points' have been made and
sustained against them that they are
left without Il peg to stand upon, bar
ring that one most dear to them-ly-

rHIGHER THAN LIBERTY. -

Once upon time the notorious
Joseph Marion Tanner did more pub
lie talking before the Mormon people
than he does al this day, He attended
il quarterly conference at Logan on
October 80, 1904, at which he instructed
the saints upon one very important
point in the doctrines of which he is an
exponent At that time he said:
If were living in ward | would con-
slider ii The most glorious thing in life
TO enjoy the confidence OF my bishop.
You cannot live I'm harmony with heaven
unless you arc in conference with the
priesthood. ] do not care whether This
sentiment Is American OF note / do not
care whether II is in keeping with the
trend OF modern times or not, il is God $
higher than political liberty. There are
things In life more precious than political
freedom,
That is the very doctrine that has
worked the chief political harm ur~',
the Mormon people, Tanner is teach
ing it privately now, because he dare
not (us crminaD promote it openly.
From babyhood every Mormon has been
taught that his first duty was obedience
TO the priesthood. and that his duty
toward his State and his country was a
secondary consideration, provided it
stood in tho way of execution of The
will Of the chief priests of his church.
As Mr.. Tanner said, it makes no differ
cncc how un-Amcrican that doctrine is,
or how opposed TO the sentiment of mod
crn civilization; that was the line to
be followed by the Mormon people.
Apostle Senator Smoot has been work
ing that teaching to the utmost during
tho past campaign; and in utilizing it
he has dragged stake presidents. bsh.

tions, aud Sunday schools into his dis.

FUSSY JIMMY'S BLAST.

Fussy Jimmy Anderson cScelled him.
self in his address at Logan on Mon
daI evening. From 1t We gather that
that the American party has stolen
5000 900 in the last five wears when
in fact. lis revenues have been no more
than that. We havc wondered from
what body the crooked brain was reared
that could bring forth charge that the
American party has stolen all the money
it had received, when such tremendous
amounts of public improvements are IN
evidence, 1T is now disclosed that that
brain is in the skull of Fussy Jimmy
Anderson. and we arc able TO Judge
Just what kind of j brain II is.
Anderson made play hat two wears
ago a determined effort Was made to
take the life of Joseph +, Smith, and
that scores of threatening letters have
been received by Smith and are being
receive now. This is the first time
that anything of that sort has been
son 5 idea wa TO suggest to the people
Of Logan that it is the American party
or members of the American party that
have been trying to kill Joseph +. Smith
and arc writing these threatening letters
that he mentions. If there has ever
been anything of that kind. we are con-
lident that the letters must have come
from Mormous who are dlsgustcd with
Smith s course; and if there was any
attcm"t to Kill him (Which we regard
as altogether fabuDous) that the conspir-
acy to that end was Matched in priest
hood circles Just as the killing of Joseph
and Ilyrum Smith was hatched up IN
Mormon circles III Nauvoo aud carried
out by the discontented priesthood that
were there opposing Joseph Smith We
regard this whole matter, however, as
simply Il canard sprung by Jimmy An
dcrsop with u reckless mendaclty and
righteousness that ought to
send him to the State mental hospital
at Provo.
The destructive and vicious tendency
of Anderson s mind is further illustrat-
ed in his statement that il was not the
liquor deal that gave "the gang their
triumph two years ago, but a bluff to
" dismantlc" Salt Lake City, and that
this so frightened the business men
here that they rallied with practical
to the support of the church
Republican ticket. The bluff worked,
Anderson says. 1T is curious, however,
that this was not matter OF general
at the time. If the busl-
ness men had been intlmidated Ev any
such bluff one would suppose that the
public would know something about it.
It would not be yellow light set under
a bushel. but would be glare that
everyone could sec Since it was en-
tirely secret, VIC must conclude that this
bluff was in Jimmy s mind altogether,
and was not known to the business men
of this city or TO the Salt Lake public.
1t seems, however, that Anderson Is of
the same mind, and told the people of
Logan that Salt Lake would be dis
mautled By the next legislature if the
Americans win. We do not know exact
" what dismantIing Anderson expects
to have done; but it is safe to say that
Salt Lake City will not be dismantlcd;
and it is safe TO say that the policy
of keeping Anderson under cover un-
til the last night before election was a
wise one, for be is certainly the ''enfant
terrible" of tho church Republican
party.
