Joe Smiths Golden Plates

A false impression prevails ih many
quarters that the Mormons pretend to
still possess the golden plates found by
Joseph Smith in the Hill Of Cumorah.
This is no such thing. They have
only the testimony of the three wit
nesses-the last of whom, David Whit
mer, died recently in this State-that
they saw and handled the plates, and
it is their testimony which has given
such strong substantiation to the state
ments of Joseph Smith The first
prophet held the plates only long
enough to transcribe their contents,
reading them as he did by means oil
the Urim and Thummim. After that
the plates disappeared as mysteGiously
as they had come into existence, and
no living prophet or follower of Joseph
Smith now knows any thing about
them.-St. Louis Globe-DeDlOcTdG

contentedly inunching inc last oi @ hne
bod Of tflip-bulbs. FlQsh af1l blood
could stand 1t no longer. Seizing n
pltchfork, which lay near at hand, the
outraged gardener plunged its sharp
tines into the hapless pig and bore tho
body, thus fatally impalcd, 10 the sty,
where it-mnt. the gaze of its owner alr
hour or two later Thereafter 10 was
war to tho knife between tho two
neighbors.
Now, What had all this to do with tie
war of 1922 Tho answer is simple.
The two neighb6rs belonged TO the
nplidcad party ScnowG as tho Fedn'al-
lists.
Through all the outrages that Great
Britain inflicted upon the United
Statesf while senmen wore being i'm
pressed, American vessels stopped or
tho high seas, and while overy possi-
bic indignity was being committed
against the flag of the United States,
the Federals remained friendly to
Great Britain, and contested every
proposition for tho declaration of war.
But the DonocMctic party was eager
for war, and as British oppression be-
came,morc unbeatable the strength OF
the Bemocrus Increased. It so hap
pened that the election district in
which the two neiShbors lived had
been about equally divided between
Democrats and Federalists, but the
latter party had always succeeded in
carrying the election. But in 1911 the
owner of the garden was a candidate
for the Legislature on the Fed
eralist ticket. His neighbor had
always voted that ticket; but
now, with his mind filled with tho BIT
ter recollection Of the death of his pig,
he cast his ballot for the Democrat.
When the ballots were counted the
Democrat was found to be elected by q
OF one. e..
Whon the newiy-etected legislator
.ook his seat, his first duty was to vote
Ior United States Senator. lie cast
MS vote for the candidate of the Dem
,crats, who was also elected by ma
