These accusations are of varied char
acter, including the allegation that the
Senator-elect has more wives than Brig
ham Roberts, who was elected to the
House of Representatives, but who was
not allowed to take his seat because Of
his polygamOus practices. Senator Bur-
rows says he has received a great num-
Der of letters protesting against the ad-
mission of Smoot.
As to the scope of the investigation,
the Senator said he would take moral
and not religious view of the case
This position is to be assumed because
the fact that SenatOr-elect Smoot Is a
Mormon would not, in itself, have any
standing in the case. The committee is
to decide whether the accused has lived
a polygamous life, either openly or Sc
cretly. 1t is also to find out whether or
not the Senator-elect has taken any
vows, as an apostle of the Mormon
Church, which are antagonistic to the
United States.

Of good citizenship the lesson should be

and productive field to be cultivated by
loyal Americans, who, with weapons
near at hand, whether they SOW and
reap or whether they rest, will always be
prepared to resist those who attempt to
despoil by day or pilfer in the night"
Other excerpts from the address are:
"The abandonment of our country's
watch towers by those who should be on
guard and the slumber of the sentinels
who should never sleep, directly invite
the stealthy approach and the pillage
and the loot Of the forces of selfshness
and greed.
"Can any of us doubt the existence of

steady cankering growth, are, more di-
rectly than all others, threatening our

torious, Of the buying and selling Of
political places for money, the purchase

Closing his speech, he said:
'It is as clear as MONDAY that If the
patriotism of our people is to be aggres-
sively vigorous and equal to our national
preservation and if politics is to sub
serve high purpose instead Of degen-
Grating to the level Of cunning game,

arouse themselves to n consciousness that
the safety and best interests Of their
country involve every other interest, and
that by service in the field Of good citi-
zcnship they not only do patriotic duty,
but in a direct way save for themselves
the share Of benefits due them from our
free institutions"
