KEEP RELIGION AND POLITICS
SEPARATE.

According to the Enquirer OF the 24th
inst, JOHN HENRY SMITH is credited
with having used the following Ian
guage:
Il make no figure of the fact that l
am one of the Apostles of the Lord
but | stand before you simply as d cIti-
zen Of the United States and Repub-
lican. We have cOntended for years
for "a principle of our faith we have
been opposed i'll every direction; we
have fought for it on one side and an
other until the highest judicial tribu-
nal in the United States has decided
against us. God has spoken through
his agent and we must now obey the
law OF the land, or else the government
would be no government that would
not compel obedience.
From the above language we are in
clined to believe that the words 1--WE"
meant members of the church, and
that "uur faith' had no reference to
Republican faith.
If the published report is correct,
land it undoubtedly is, as the Er,quir-
er is the Republican organ. that meet
ing seemed more of religious gather
ing than a Republican rally, and it
seems that JOHN HENRY SMITH acted
in dual capacity-that of an Apostle
and that of a Republican speaker.
There can be no valid objections to
any one in any position taking the
stump in behalf of his political doc
trines, but we are d cidedly of the opin-
ion that no man should drag into poll
tics his religious faith in order to make
converts

WE WANT MEN OF THOUGHT.

Democrats believe in the fullest in
vestigation of the principles of DEM
ocracy, and hold that no man can be a
consistent, reasonable Democrat with
out first becoming acquainted with
those great fundamental truths upon
which Democracy rests. 1t matters not
so much who the men were that pro-
claimed these truths, or in what age or
among what people. What does con-
Germ every person Is that his judgment
is the result of careful inquiry and
earnest, sober thought upon the ele-
melts and principles that constitute
the object of thought, and that his
future action, be it political or other
wise. conforms to that judgment.
The person, whose political conduct
is the result Of man worship is q dam
erous element. His education is
wanting, his ira ming of a serious
character, and his inclinations, there
fore, tend to wild zeal and absolute
fanaticism.
We want no hero worshippers in our
ranks. We want men of thought and
men of action" that will clear the
mists of ignorance, break down oppres-
sion and guarantee to every one his
rightful sovereignty.

ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT.

1t would seem TO us that our Repubh-
can contemporary is gradually becom-
ing educated to the fact that Utah
county is not exactly Overwhelmingly
Republican. And the following ex-
tracts from the Enquirer of last night
would lead one to believe that its editor
is becoming slightly anxious as to the
outcome of the August election:
"The necessity of some lively work
among the Republicans is being more
and more felt throughout Utah county.
Republicans must
get an active movement on them, and
organize clubs in all cities, towns and
hamlets of the county. The people are
anxiously waiting, and an easy victory
awaits Republicans next fall, If the
forces are put in fighting order. \
The August election, it should be re-
membered, viii be warm contest, and
a thorough organization is the secret of
success.
We quite agree with the Enquirer
when it makes the statement that there
is need of some "lively work among
Republicans, - although THE DISPATCH
is now satisfied that such work will
prove to be Of no avail. Utah county
is Democratic, and the Democrats of
Utah county are thoroughly organized.

Editor MORNING DISPATCH,
l am endeavoring to solve a political
problem, and having no experience,
little inclination and less ability in that
direction, come to you for assistance.
VIII you kindly explain how person s

without his knowledge or consent to a
platform of principles with the follow
ing preamble, published in this morn
ing's DISPATCH under the heading OF

Believing as we do that the changed
as well as the rapidly changing condi-
tons in the social and political status
Of this Territory justify the abandon
ment of the political organizations
which have heretofore existed and that
the time has now arrived when the po-
litical parties of this Territory should
be formed upon the lines of national
politics, leaving each individual citizen
to choose for himself his afiiliation with
the one or the other OF the two great
political parties of the country accord
ing to his preference, and confident OF
the virtue, patriotism and integrity OF
the mass of the people, as Democrats we

that in making up the delegation from

JOSEPH SMIHT'S VIEWS.

Our evening neighbor is indulging
in some questionable political methods
to induce members of the Mormon
church to become Republicans by
alleging that JOSEPH SMITH was a
Republican, and by quoting from his
"Powers and Policy of the Govern
ment." 1t also asks you to buy that
work. Well, if you do, we request
you to read it thoroughly, and when
you do SO you will find that JOSEPH
SMITH spoke most approvingly Of the
virtuous, venerable and respected
THOMAS JEFFERSON. He also says of
JACKSON, one of the greatest of Demo
Gratis:
GENERAL JACKsoN's administra
tion may be denominated the acme of
American glory, liberty and prosper
itY, for the national debt, which in
1915, on account of the preceding
war, was 1925, 600, 600, and being les
sened gradually, was paid up in his
golden day, and preparations were
made to distribute the surplus revenue
among the several states; and that
august patriot, to use his own Wsrds
in his farewell address, retired leay-
ing "a great people prosperous and
happy, in the full enjoyment Of liberty
and peace, honored and respected by
every nation in the world )"
In 1914, when General JOSEPH
SMITH was candidate for President
of the United States, his party
adopted, among other things, the fol-
lowing resolutions:
''ResoLUed, That the better to carry
out the principles Of liberty and equal
rights, JEFFERsONIAN Democracy Tree
trade and sailors rights, and the pro-
lection of person and property, we will
support General JOSEPH SMITH for the
President of the United States at the
ensuing election"
Preparations we're being made for
an active campaign and national
convention was to be held in New
York, July u, but before the time for
the convention had arrived the stand
ard-bearer of the party of reform,
JEFFERsONIAN Democracy. free trade
and sailors rights. fell pierced by as
sassins' bullets, the victim Of a cruel
Historical Record, p. no.
This is the platform under which
JOSEPH SMITH entered the campaign
and these are the political principles
he espoused-pure Democracy. Now,
who can say he was Republican? We
don t ask any one to be Democrat
because JOSEPH SMITH advocated
Democratic doctrine We would much
have preferred to say nothing about
this. Whatever his politics may have
been shouldn't influence anyone in hi:
choice. Once for all we answer wha
has been said so that people may know
the truth, and now we wish to droI
this kind of politics and enter upon ;
discussion of the principles and prac
tices of the two great parties.

OGDEN, June 24.-A blaze broke

were 40 boys and girls inmates at the
time the fire started, and these were
all removed to the military academy,
where they will be provided Tor until
such time as the structure is restored.
The fire was discovered while all the
inmates were within, and panic
threatened to follow the alarm but for
the composure OF the officials, who
quietly conducted the pupils te the

The chemical engine that is kept at

the absence Of a ladder OF sutlclent

ated in the extreme northeast portion
of the city, the fire department ex-

reaching the scene: In the meantime
the flames had guawed their way to the
interior of the building and were cut

lower floors, until they were literally
a furnace of flame. The fire depart

to prevent them, however, and while
there is little in the crumbing walls
to comfort those who stood by after
the fire was under control, the boys
are entitled to much credit for their
effort.
A call for meeting Of the board of
directors was promptly posted. The
board had just decided on the con-
