No Test of American Sentiment.

1t is falsely charged that the Mormon
church leaders sought TO have Roberts
elected 10 test the sentiment of the
people of the United States as to
whether Utah would be held to the
agreement in the matter of the aban-
donment of polygamous or plural mar
riages.
This is the first time the Mormon
leaders were ever charged with abso-
lutte stupidity. Any question about the
people of Utah being held TO their
agreement to abandon polygamous or
plural marriages. as provided in their
state constitution. has never existed.
There never has been in the minds of
anybody at any time a doubt about it.
The struggle for liberation of a plu-
raj marriage system, running through
half century, attended as it was with
the suffering inflicted upon the Nor
mon people under special legislation
and vindictive crusades; with its en-
forced exile and imprisonment for
those who out of an honest thought be-
lieved they were doing Gods will-all
this. and much more. is not forgotten.
The Mormon people know the views OF
the people of the United States on that
subject without testing it again. There
never was a more puerile suggestion
than that the representative from Utah
was elected to make such a test 1t is
too silly to require refutation.

THE WORLD AND I.

Nelly NJ. Hutchinson in New Orleans
Picayune.)
Whether my heart be glad or no,
The summers come. the summers go
The lanes grow dark with dying leaves,
Icicles hang beneath the caves,
The asters Nither to the snow:
Thus doth the summers end and go,
" neither my life be glad or no.
Whether my life be sad or no,
The winters come. the winters go,
The sunshine plays with baby leaves,
Swallows build about the caves,
The lovely wild flowers band and blow;
Thus doth the winter end and go,
Whether my life be sad or no.
Yet Mother Nature gives to me
A fond and patient sympathy;
In my own heart l find the charm
To make her tender, near and warm;
Through summer sunshine, winter snow,
she clasps me, sad or glad or no.

SMALLPOX At SPRING CITY.
BELIEVED DISEASE HAS BROKEN
OUT THERE.
Less Uneasiness Now Displayed at
Mt Pleasant-Provo Still Worked
Up-Dr Beatty Gets No News.
Especial Correspondence

Mt. Pleasant, Nov. 22.-The scare conse-
quent upon the breaking out of smallpox
in the southern part of this county il
abating somewhat in this CITY,. owing to
the vigorous and prompt action taken
by the health officials.
In this city strict measures have been
taken. Yesterday the schools were closed
and early this morning the local board of
health in conjunction with Mayor Erick-
sen. issued a proclamation in which, af-
ter the statement that smallpox had ap-
that persons in this city had been exposed
to it by associating with individuals COM
ing from the communities where the dis
ease is prevalent, as measure to prevent
the Introduction or spread of the disease
it was ordered that all schools within the
city be closed. and that no public gather
ing convene within the city until further
notice. 1t was further recommended that
a general cleanup be Instituted and that
every possible precaution be used TO pre-
vent an epidemic.
of the uneasiness to vanish is the fact
that Miss Nellie Clawson the young lady
who same here from Sterling and from
whom it was feared the disease might
have been communicated, has not yet
been taken with the sickness. Physicians
and others who are familiar with the
disease contend that it was an impossi-
bility for the young lady to carry the
disease without having been sick herself
before the period of time could have
elapsed which has passed since she was
here. If she had become i'll within a day
or two after leaving here some fears
would have yet been entertained from
that source, but very little is thought of
that now.
1t is learned that the persons who car
ried the disease from Montana to Ster-
ling stopped in this city on their way
home and took dinner with friends
family AS it has been some time since
they were here. there are no fears now
from that quarter:
The family of Robert Kenner came
here from Sterling the latter part of last
week and have been visiting with rela-
tives, and some little concern is felt that
they may have been exposed and that
the disease may develop. Close watch is
being kept and if any suspicious symp-
toms are observed prompt action will be
taken. This family was not aware of the
prevalence of the disease in Sterling
when they left there, and when they
learned that it was they Immediately
started back. The health officials warned
them at Manti. however, that If they
returned to Sterling they would be
obliged to remain there for at least two
months. This they did not care to do
and so did not go on.
A telegram from Spring City to DR.. |
Cassaday this afternoon says there are
several very suspicious cases there today |
and the doctor has been called over. The |
message said the sickness was certainly |
either smallpox or chickenpoX. DIR. Casa |
day has not yet returned so ii Is not |
known what he pronounces the disease.

Does Not Represent Polygamy.

1t is falsely charged that the con-
gresham from Utah was elected to
represent polygamy. That if he is seat
ed and retains his seat it will mean
that congress indorseS polygamy, and
that there will be an immediate re-
vival of the Mormon plural marriage
system in Utah.
In the name of all that is consistent,
l would like to know how the Mormon
people could hope TO base a revival of
the practice of plural marriag e-even
if they had the disposition to do So
on the fact of the representative from
Utah taking and retaining his seat in
sentatives endorse the individual views
of all the men it admits to member
ship2 If Socialists should from some
congressional district elect a congress-
man, would his admission to the house
say to the world that the American
congress Endorsed Socialism? Surely my
enemies give the Mormon people and
even congress little credit for common
sense when they trump up such
charge as this. l don't go to Washing
ton as a representative of polygamy.
am not sent there by my constituents
to ask congress to consent to the re-
peal of the clause in our state constitu-
ton which defines, prohibits, and pun
ishes polygamy-and it should be re-
membered that this particular clause
in our state constitution cannot be re-
pealed without the consent of the
United States. 1 shall not go to Wash
ington to advocate or even defend pc
lygamy. The question has passed the
point where either is necessary in the
American congress. By the settlement
of the matter between the people of the
United States and the people of the
state of Utah the question has been
taken from the field of political contro-
versy. What views and beliefs individ-
uals may entertain is a matter of in
difference in this connection. We have
not yet undertaken, l think, the task
of prescribing opinion or barring men
from political preferment for mere
opinions they may entertain.
