showed that the original number in
1899 had been reduced GO per cent, leav-
ing then only S97, the great majority of
whom were of advanced age, and many
of them have since departed from this
life. 1t is evident that with no addi-
lions to this total but rapid and con-
tinual decrease in ii, the number of
polygamous families will soon be re-
duced to Zero"
President Smith was asked to define
the position of Mr.. Smoot in. the
church, his position as an apostle hav-
ing been compared to that of a cardi-
nal or archbishop in other churches.
THE two positions are not parallel"
President Smith said. "An apostle OF
seventy or elder or bishop in the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints is usually engaged in some secu-
lar vocation or laboring in some ca
pacity for his daily bread. He is or
dained to the office he holds in the
priesthood, so that he may act in that
calling when required. He gives his
services gratuitously to the church.
There are instances of course, when
a mans whole time is taken up with
some church duty, that he receives re-
muneration therefor, but as rula mel,
holding positions in the priesthood are
engaged in secular callings and are
men of affairs.
Reed Smoot is a banker the mana
ger of the largest manufacturing in
stitution in this state, and is interested
greatly In mining operations and other
temporal pursuits. He is recognized
as a capable and enterprising citizen.
and his position in the church need
not interfere in any way with his serv-
ices to the state or the nation in any
political office to which he may be
elected.
1T is not true that he has been put
forward by the church as a candi-
date for public Office, but he has the
same right that any other American
citizen enjoys to accept any office
which his fellow citizens may elect
him to occupy. Mormon Church Of
ficials have served in Congress for
years. and no objection has been Of
fered on that account. Every Nor
mon official has been one holding the
priesthood, and that has never inter-
fered with his official duties. The OBJ
lection in the present case is without
substantial reason or foundation.

AUGUSTUS COUNCIL.
Asks for Bids for TelephOnes-TOo
Much state Taxation

Augusta, Ga, Dec. lat the regular
meeting of the City Council tonight
the Strow Company offered to supply
the city any number of telephones at
S2S each per annum. provided a 3-year
contract was made for TWENTY-FIVE
telephones. 1t was finally decided that
both companies be asked to furnish
sealed bids.
Mayor Phinzy introduced a resolu-
ton, stating that he viewed with APP
prehension the constantly increasing
list of businesses upon which the state
is levying taxes to the detriment Of
municipalities. the county lines issued
by the state, covering the city, and
asked that representatives be urged
to oppose these specific licenses.
An ordinance was passed, requiring
all street cars in crossing railroad
tracks to be tagged by the conductor
under penalty of a fine of not t.ss than
$40 nor more than S25, upon the mo-
torman and the company both.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-12-02

Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. LIN an
interview to-day with the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press, President
defined the present position of the
church with respect to polygamy, al
so the ecclesiastical position of Apos-
tie Reed Smoot, whose candidacy for
the United States Senate has resulted
in an active campaign against him by
the ministerial alliance.
THE church does not desire to enter
the controversy over this question"
said President Smith, but it is anx-
ious that its own people, as well as
the people of the country, should I'M
derstand it's position e
Does the Mormon Church solemonize
or, permit plural marriages?" Presi-
dent Smith was asked.
tCretainly not" he replied THE
church does not perform or sanction
or authorize marriage in any form that
is contrary to the laws of the land.
The assertion that prominent Mormons
practice polygamy is evidently made
TO mislead the public. Polygamy UNI
der the law is the marrying of a hus-
band or wife while the legal husband
or wife is living and undivorced. There
is no such offense committed by sane
ton of the Mormon Church But
when the prohibition of polygamy was
proclaimed by the president of the
Mormon Church, there were many per-
sons who had contracted plural mar
riages, and that relation has been con-
tinued in many instances but men in
that position determined not to aban-
don their families, but to care for and
provide for them and educate and
cherish their children
This is enormously construed as
practicing polygamy, and creates the
impression that polygamous marriages
are still permitted in and by the church.
1T was ascertained by a careful CEN
sus in $780, when President Woodruff
issued his manifesto against further
polysamous marriages. that there were
2.49l such families belonging to he
