him by the investigating senators. one
might have imagined that he was an
old-fashioned college professor deliv-

Mormon religion and looking down from
a superior height upon the ignorance OF
the pupils who were unfortunate enough
not to understand clearly all the in
tricacies Of the subject of which he was

senators. both republican and democrat,
are very much stirred up about the busI-

years before every one of the Rocky

there by Mormon. SO great is the spread
of Mormonism through all that part of
