Utah Independent - Mr. V.S. Peet of Salt Lake City announces that on Thursday, November 19, he will begin the publication of the Utah Independent, a sixteen page weekly whose motto will be, "Neither Politics, Religion, Friendship nor Pelf shall influence this paper from doing its plain duty." It will hew to the line for the betterment and up-building of Utah. (Utah Independent, Nov. 19, 1908 issue pg. 4) One of the Independent's subscribers says it is a very lively and readable sheet, containing much matter by the editor himself in refutation of many of the scurrilous slanders that are circulated in the East about Utah and its people. Mr. Peet also gives many reasons why he begins the publication of The Independent, the principal and most vital one being that he wants the truth spoken out on every subject of public moment.
