RETURNING TO OLD WAYS

The speakers IN the Tabernacle on
Sunday were Elder James y, Talmage
and President George Q, Cannon The

on another page Of this issue OF the
"News," presents the salient points OF
their dlsoourses. The Salt Lake Tribune

On Plural Marriage As this was not
the theme touched upon by any one on
that occasion. there seems TO be no ex-
puse for the headline.
Referring to the body Of the Tribune
report. we find this.
President Cannon spoke first Of the
doctrine Of plural marriage and said

connected with 1t, etc"
President Cannon spoke first OF the
happiness enjoyed by the Latter-day
Saints and gave the reasons for ii, fol-

OF the truths introduced by revelation

which were new to the Christian
world at the time OF their enunciation,
and which had brought persecution as
well as Joy to the Saints, First
among them he referred to the doctrine
OF the eternity Of matter: second, 10 the

A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

The Chicago Times Herald, one OF
the leading Republican papers Of the
country. comments on the exclusion OF
Mr. Roberts from Congress Under the
significant caption: Sacrifice Constitu-
ton to Bar Roberts" It says:
congressman almost broke their
necks Thursday In their eagerness 10
eject poygamist Roberts through the
breach they tore I'm the Constitution.
The vote, 26S TO 30, proves that the
House Of Representatives can be STAN
peded by a wave Of sentimentalism 10
commit an unnecessary folly.
THAT the election OF Roberts was an
open aflront to the popular sentiment
agains; polygamy does not admit OF a
moments question But. being elected,
Il was his constitutional right to take
his seat, from which he could have been
instantly and ANONYMOUSLY expelled.
Then ne would have gone forth brand
ed and without q grievance.
To-day Roberts can stand before the
American people and justly claim that
the United States Constitution has been
violated TO deprive him Of his seat.
There will be no regrets for Roberts.
He eoJrted the harsh reception he has
met.
'Dut the precedent set In his case TO
express national detestatlon OF poly
gamy may return to justify like ylo-
letons OF constitutional rights for par
tlsan ends"
The Chicago Record admits the dan
ger OF the precedent, but consoles IT,
self as follows:
1T II clear however. that the action
OF the House in the Roberts case, which
was a most unusual one, ought not 10
be accepted as a precedent for the fu-
ture. The representative principle IN
government viii be endangered should
either house Of Congress come TO think
that iU can set w such qualifications
for admission as It may choose to ap-
ply"

Most OF the papers that comment on
the exclusion of Mr. Roberts from Con-
gtess. labor under the impression that
the action taken was necessary as re-
buke to the "Mormons' and a denun-
citation o. "polygamy" That this i'm
preston exists is due to the infamous
falsehoods circulated through the
country by religious ministers and
their allies Of the press Now that the
matter can be considered more calmly,

interesting TO the editorial profession

the purpose Of demonstrating the prac-
licabillty OF his notions as to how a
daily newspaper ought to be run In or

vIRUhENT ATTACK.

The people Of Utah ought 20 appre-
ciate at rs true value the endorsement
given by the paper In this city which
has been instrumental In spreading err
roneous reports concerning the Nor
mon" Church and people, OF the bitter
attack Of Mr.. Lands in the House OF
Representatives upon the people OF this
State. In supporting the resolutions
Tor the exclusion Of the Congressman
from Utah, Mr. lands delivered him
self Of d mass Of misinformation, close
~ resembling the stun which many
years ago was commonly poured forth
from antl-"Mormon' sources. The old,
ex! loded stories, coupled with the old
yltuperatlon and inyectives, were
brought out TO do new service. and they
find favor with a paper In this city
because they were aimed at b. II. Rob-
erts anj the majority Of the people Of
Utah.
Among the old ISLANDERS was one
which we think even that paper should
have objected to. II was an undeserved
and malicious SANDER upon Hon Alma
Eldredge, the opponent Of the success
ful candidate In the campaign OF 1898.
Mr. Lands denounced him as "A DAN
lie that had killed his man" There was
no excuse Tor the falsehood nor for
bringing in any reference 10 that gem
tleman. He was duly nominated as the
candidate Of his party. and while he
was not successful at the polls, there
was not breath against his personal
character either then or during the
contest which was waged so strongly
FOR the seat. The assault. made by Mr..
lands was as unjust as Il was I'M
truthful.
The whole harangue ought to have
been resented by every paper IN Utah,
and particularly by those Of the sane
political faith as the gentleman in sum-
nit county, whom they put forward as
their representative. The comments OF
the Pittsburg Telegraph, also lauda-
tory Of the speech. are copied by the
Salt Lake assailant Of the 'Mormons,"
asserting that "The severe scourglng
given BY Mr. Lands TO the Mormons
Of Utah was as deserved as II was Sc
we're. The Telegraph has clearly drawn
its Information CD from the Tribune,
rs remarks sounding exactly Ike an
echo Of the latter, OF course the peo-
pie of this State win understand the
great friendship exhibited by both pa
pers towards them and will understand
It's true worth.
It Is time that the people OF the Unit
ed States should comprehend the VIII
lalny Of the llbels that have been pub
lished concerning Utah hnd the Nor
mons and learn to reject such stories
and 10 desgise their authors and re-
peaiers. But the motto OF a Salt Lake
politician VINO desires to control the
affairs Of this State seems to be that
Of many others In this great country;
that is, ANS fair in love ana poll
tics Probably Mir. Lands believed
some Of the eyil things which he re-
peatel IN The halls Of Congress, and
therefore his lack Of understanding may
be some plea In mitigation Of his Ian
guage. AT any rate no friend to Utah
win endorse his utterances, or fail
when opportunity arises to repudiate
them as false and unjust to loyal and
patriotic people.

10 seems from interviews that Mr.

the idea that social recognition should
