Salt Lake Security & Trust Company : 32 Main Street Salt Lake City 1 Straight Talk As the official organ of the so-called better ment league, the News, in an issue of a few days ago, explained that the activities of the bunch of bigots referred to are not clearly understood in some quarters because it had been mentioned that some obsolete blue laws were to be enforced if some of the members of the so-called Ipaeue had their way. Of course it is not possible that any influence was brought to bear on the News, found necessary on account of the trade relations of one who advises that the word of wisdom be kept while making his living out of that the use of which breaks the word. Th i league would not hamper stores dealing in neces i ties no matter how hard they broke the Sabbath. It would not be right. Theirs has always been a work of persuasion and not of threat, and the last thing that any of the leading members of the 'so-called league would do would be to coerce such dealers as might not choose to accept the advice of these lily whites. For just what is a betterment league needed in a better town than any in the west and why, if there exist "certain unfortunate conditions iti the community which the league is trying to correct" have its members waited until such a time as this to stir up trouble? In the same con nection, there are two interesting questions we would like to have answered. One is: Why is no discrimination made in a general class of business, irrespective of whether a particular place is carried on in o. proper manner or not and the other is why are the heads of the detri mental league so careful to avoid mentioning one or two places which are no more respectable than some others which are suffering from these med dlers? We note that the latest publicity directed againt the state by its local papers is that in which much is being said against the carnival of the Wizard of the Wasatch, enough in fact to scare away hundreds of people wh would other wise come here for a good time. And in the same articles, the laughable thing is that theso journals have give credence to the statements of these would-be reformers that their commit tees have watched certain places between Salt Lake and Murray and find that they are havens of purity rather than the Rouses of prostitution which they are. It is up to some one with a little moral cour age and a few dollars to show up some of those whose misguided activities would soon stop were it not for the encouragement lent by the syco phant journals who are scared to death to do anything but observe the directions of a little coterie whose advertising is apparently sop enough to hold them in line. We note with considerable amusement that the betterment league is to stop betting, that there must be no gambling, that the terrible "26" game through which a piker now and then lost a quarter and others occasionally won a cigar or two, is to be banished. We are told that this is a step in eliminating questionable practices which are sending a dozen or two of our inhabitants straight to hell. And there is nothing in the world so terrible as gambling of this character, unless it be the drinking of stimulants (How lett'e tea and coffee excepted) or such singing as might i nipt our youth to stay up after dark. Now Hewlett brothers we understand that either one or the other or both of you have had something t - do with the betterment league did either of you ever make a bet?
