Miners, w. /. Plumb, A. L. Anderson
and ]. G. Doughty were appointed
standing committee on Chinese I'M
migra ton with full power to gather
statistics and to send out petitions
in favor of the re-enactment of the
present Chinese Kxclusion Act, etc.
[ Pursuant to those Instructions, we
present you with the following Pc
titions, which we have collected
from the counties named on the
ma rgin of each, signed by the voters
of your Congressional District pray
ing Congress to re-enact the law ex-
Guiding people from Asiatic coun
tries, viz: China and Japan, from all
territory under the jurisdiction or
control of the United States of Amer
ica. Our petition states in a few
terse words why such law should
be passed, not Tor the benefit of a
single class who would seek to pro-
fit by it, but for the advancement of
all, high and low, rich and poor, for
the advancement ot.the higher civil
iZation to which every true, Amer1-
can stands pledged, for the protect
ion of the American home, which IL
the bulwaTsle aot cup freedom, for no
civilized home can exist, when
brought in contact, or competition,
with the degradation of the people
of the Orient. - We of the Pacific
Coast States know this by actual
contact. We have been engaged in
a life and death struggle for the last
thirty years, Not only in the teld OF
prod uction are they a menace, but
morally they are a fostering sore.
We have seen the youth of this
country enticed into their dens of
vice, and ruined morally and physi-
cally. We have seen thousands of
our people spending their time and
money in the vain effort to oivilize
and chr1stianize these people, and
we know that they are still China
men, never will and never can be-
come Americans.
We realize fully that you under
stand this question and have only
written the above to enable you to
show others how your constituents
feel on the subject.
In conclusion allow us to wish you
godspeed in your efforts to protect
American manhood from the threat
ened past, and any word that we
can say or deed that we can do, to
assist, we beg of you to command us.
Respectfully submitted,

Yerington, New. Nov. 80, 1901.
To the Members of the Church of
J. c. of L. ID. s., Mason Valley,
Stake, Nevada:
Dear Sisters and Brothers. BY
virtue of my office as Second Coun-
selor of the President of the Church
of J. G. l.. d. s., the duty of visiting
the various Stakes established by
our beloved. President throughout
the State of Nevada, has devolved
upon me. / have to this time visited
all the Stakes thus far on my list.
Today l came here by mere acci-
dent, as l had long since decided that
Bishop James Parker was so atten-
tive to his duties, having always
been considered above reproach, that
no advice was required from me,
nor from any other function aries in
office in our Holy Church. Unfor-
tuna tely, however, upon my arrival
and upon thorough investigation, |
learned that said Brother Parker has
been very derelict in the many duties
of his exalted office. His course of
action, as far as | can learn from re-
liable sources, has been highly con-
demnatory. l was simply astounded
when / learned that Brother Parker
had very recently countenanced and
INDUCED in round dances, and in the
use of tea and coffee among our flock,
also the wearing of leather shoes,
after he had been most strictly eau
toned to present these features be-
fore our members. Round dances
have for years been strictly pro-
hibited, ever since the reign of our
noble and beloved President, Brig
ham Young. The custom of wear
ing wooden shoes instead of leather
ones, was, likewise established by
our great Prophet. This order is
known throughout our territory as
the order of "Enoch." | desire to
call your attention also to the fact
that our Treasurer, Bro. J. G. Gal
lagher, reports but very small in
come in the way of tithing. This will
never do, if you expect to inherit any
desira BILE station in our kingdom or
that place where our beloved Proph-
ct Joseph now rules. SO l say,
brothers and sisters, obey the laws
of the Church, in this respect espec-
tally. Again, | found our dus-
ky brethren, the Lamanites. wearing
very highly colored garments, which
is also against the principles of our
holy Church. These fancy colors
are not indicative OF that devotion to
Further than all, learn, with sin
cere regret, that brother Parker,
whom we presumed to be a thorough
American citizen, was supported"
into this great and glorious country
in strange and singular manner
by our distinguished citizen, Brother
John Gallagher, in a whisky barrel,
from Canada, which above all is a
most dire and serious reproach to
the welfare of our great Church.
Taken all i'll all, the verdict of the
Twelve Apostles is that Brother
Parker be suspended from his office
for the term OF one year, or until
such time as he may see the error of
his ways, and repent.
