toward polygamy. The occasion was the
meeting OF the saints at their annual
reunion at Washington park
Joseph Smith stated in the most en-
phatic words that the Latter-Day Saints
did not believe in polygamy. that they
never had believed I'm It: that their found

and again in unmistakable words
''In the doctrine and covenants OF Jo-
seph Smith, published first in 1885. and
published again and again after that plu-
raj marriage is forbidden" said President
Smith.
THE covenants are unmistakable. No
one OF US at that time ever thought OF
plural marriage until Joseph Smith.

few years later. that branch Of the church
which had gone 10 Utah proclaimed Its
belief. through revelation. in a plural
marriage. The doctrine and covenants
were published in Utah, with that section
eliminated which forbade plural mar
riages. The section forbiddlng plural
marriages is contained in every edition
until the Utah church published Its own
edition
I'VE Latter-Day Saints are heart and

this. that the American people may not

I was among the number of those who
believed 1t better to ratify the treaty and
end the war release the volunteers, re-
move the excuse for war expenditures,
and then give to the Filipinos the indie
pendence which might be forced from
Spain by new treaty.
In view of the criticism which my &C
ton aroused in some quarters ! take this
occasion TO restate the reasons given at
that time. / thought II safer to trust the
American PEOPLE TO give independence to
the Fnipiuos than to trust the accom-
plishment of that purpose TO diplomacy
with an unfriendly nation. Lincoln en-
bodied an argument In the question, when
he asked, Can aliens make treaties cas-
Ter than friends can make laws?" I be-
lieve that we are now in a better position
TO wage a successful contest against i'm
periaism than we would have been had
the treaty been rejected. With the treaty
rattle d, a clean cut issue is presented be-
tween a government by consent and a
government by force. and imperialists
must bear the responsibility for all that
happens until the question is settled. II
the treaty had been rejected, the oppo-
nents of i'm Imperialism would have been held
responsible for any International compn-
cations which might have auisen before
the ratification of another treaty But

is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, n. C.
1t may be question whether the
editor Of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as preventative of suf-
fering we feel it duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many
cases a dose of this remedy would save
hours Of suffe ring while physician is
awaited. We do not believein depend
ing implicitly on any medicine for a
cure, but we do believe that if bottle
of Chamberlain Diarrhoea remedy
were kept on hand and administered
at the inception of an attack much
suffering might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. For sale by F. l..
