authorities of the Mormon church, as
reported in this mornings Salt Lake
papers. has come to the people Of our
city like clap of thunder from a clear

way church and state was to be di-
Vorced.
Those of the Mormon persuasion had
little to say. but seemed to be doing
q great deal of thinking. Non-Mormons
were not hasty in condemning the ac-
ton taken by the leaders of the church,
but it was remarked by several: we
viii go on fighting on party lines until
we see further evidence that the church
is determined to stand out alone in
matters pertaining to the state If this
is the case, it means the birth of anoth-
er party and ii means that the con-
tracts with the American people have
been broken by the church.
