Journal to give the public the real
name of our friend Aristotle" We
did this purely on the grounds that
it would be a good way for him To
clear his paper of any charge OF
bad faith incident to the pledge re.
Gently made at the Joseph NJ Mar.
shall dinner at the Eagle Hotel where
eighty business men participated. Had
he have said that the article was CON
cooked in Main Street office, that
1t was delivered to a Journal repre-
sentative by John A. Hendrickson,
and carried to the Journal office
where IL was turned over to the
management, and there passed upon,
he would have said what has been
current talk since the appearance OF
the article, and would have relieved
himself of just that much of the re-
sponslbility.
Instead he publishes another screed
of his paid ad' stripe, and harps
on the Heber J. Grant issue, long
since argued, acknowledged, and pas
sed upon. We say argued from the
fact that Mr.. Grant secured the Tab.
ernacle to defend himself, and did
defend himself not only against tnls
paper, but against the Journal as
well. We say acknowledged from the
fact that what we had to say was an
editorial for which the paper was re-
sponsible, and from the further fact
that 1t was acknowledged and the
ton to Mr.. Grant while the matter
was a live issue.
AS to the issue, briefly, Heber }
Grant criticised Republican legis-
lature in no mild terms. He did il
in the Logan Tabernacle, and on
Sunday He is an Apostle of the |
Mormon Church. Other Apostles |
ranking just as high as Mr.. Grant |
have applauded the work of this legis
lature, and have approved of its acts |
just as strongly as Mr.. Grant con
Mr. Grant criticised and condemned |
what others of his rank approved, we |
felt it our right to criticise him, and |
in the words of our Journal friends
felt that he was not immune because
of his exalted position
How about our Journal friends? On
Wednesday evening October 81, 1908
there was concert in the Niblsy
Hall, at which Mr.. Grant contributed
his services He was not singing for
money, but was assisting to raise
funds for some Improvement at the
b. Y. College. On October "a, 1908
the Journal gave a criticism In which
II ridiculed Mr.. Grant saying that
'he was an unmarried JOY" "Heber
may not have done as much for mu-
sic in Utah as some, but he has done
as much to it as anyone" His voice

but when II comes to volume, its the
real hot toddy," and other statements
of like character, and this without
any provocation whatever
Again our friends refer to "Bene-
dict Arnold's," "treacherous polit-
cal barnacles," etc. By this they
mean certain individuals that we have
characterized as such, and to which
of just such fellows that go to con-
ventions and help TO nominate tick
cts, some of them being candidates
for office, and when they don't get
just what they want they go out and
work to defeat the ticket they helped |
TO make. These are the fellows we |
have SO characterized and we stand |
by the record And we will leave 1t |
to these fellows themselves-every- |
body knows who they are-if there |
is not more truth and justification in |
our course thousand times, than

screed in Truth" is laid at the
