n =. enjoyed the trip, and the peo-
lie whom we visited gree ed Us very
indy. I am pleased to be pre-
cent at the last meetings of your
CTarterlY stake conference. There
ore several things I wish to speak
If as it is proper we should thor
onchlv understand all our duties,
9th socially and religiOusly, and
.DTnreeiate the position we occupy
fsiore God, SO that we may act
Tiselv am prudentlv, regarding
rronerIv a c1nstitutionsl laws
pfmen. Une hing L wish to
Sneak c. is he adoption of
t6s rev CT standard time.
There snould be Uniform under
stand Nc on this matter, or 1t
will create infusion, which latter
should be avoided. This change OF
time has been, l understand, ADOPT
al in several large cities. If it be-
comes 2 national affair, it should be
conforuei to eVerv where and Hni>
formity be the rule. Some years
AGO the deceased President Brigham
Young, ny request Of some United
States govern meut officials, had a
suitable building erected within the
Temple Block. where observations
have been taken, correct meridian
time obtained and sent oy tele-
graph to all kCrtions Of this Terri
torT. The new time has been
adopted by the City Council Of Salt
Lake. However, this city does
not control the Territory for
there are other cities and
city councils in the Territory
and such should be consulted before
a change of that character is
adopted throughout the Territory.
Therefore [ am in favor Of the
change being duly considered in ali
its Meanings. before commanding it
10 be adopted by other portions Of
the Territory. OF course if it should
become the rule throughout these
United States, we must also adoptit
ss a Territory. to be in accord with
ttem. Another thing l wish to
speak OF, is The notable criminal
trial fer murder now being held in
the United States District Court
here. The officials are [ suppose
responsible fer the laws delay:
there has been some talk, so l IN
deIStsnd that the people would be
juStiHed in carrying out lynch law
on the supposed criminal Hopt. As
a church we deprecate such sprO-
seedlings; we do not want any lynch
law here. / thought | would men,
ton this matter so that you might
at leas. understand my personal
views on the matter. We have a
Judiciary here, ard must conform to
ali Constitutional laws. We have no
business to attempt to "take the law
into our own hands" If
the officials do rot DO their
duty, that is their business,
they are responsible for it. We
must abide all constitutional laws,
whether inimical to US or not. Do
not be associated with any mob law,
10 mol participate in anything that
Is contrary to peace and good order.
Ia reference to the subject OF pOlyg>
amy, which has been lately brought
44Vo NOTICE by the late action OF our
courts here, the people OF the United
SIates are egregiOusly ignorant of
I1e pFlnclple Of plurality Of wives.
