It was because Of political opposition
to Pres. Bulge. IF the editor ofthe
Examiner would be accommodating
to the people, he would tell us vhv
these other democrats who attended
the meeting at Paris, and who were
politically opposed to Pres. Bulge,
and why all other democrats who
oppose him now, are deprived of
their ecclesiastical offices; for, of
course, none who are politically op-
posed to Pres. Bulge, hold Office in
the Stake over which he presides.
Let us see if that is not true. Can
any such person be named? Well,
there is Bishop Findlay of Bloom
ington, Bishop Humphreys of Paris
First Ward, Joseph S. Robinson,
Bishops counselor at Montpelier,
Nancy Pugmire Stake Superintend-
ent OF the Young Ladies Mutual
Improvement Association, Bishop
Samuel Humphreys of the Dingle
Ward, Hyrum S. Rich, Sunday
School Superintendent of the St.
Charles ward, and many others, ali
OF whom are politically opposed to
Pres. Bulge, and the first two named
were present at the meeting men
toned. 1t looks reasonable that
Hart should be singled out when so
many others were exactly of his
political faith, and be deprived of his
ecclesiastical Offices and the others
left unmolested. The Examiner
ridicules the logic of Rees Davis be-
cause of the statement that Hart, if
the Statesman story is true, is cow
ardly to remain in such a church.
After stating that Hart regards the
"attempted dictation of Pres. Bulge
as wholly without sarction from
the Salt Lake Authorities" The
Examiner says that because he was
wronged by "a certain member of
the church" doesn't argue
that he should quit his church."
What is the matter with The Ex-
aminer's reasoning faculties? Rees
Davis did not argue that he should
quit the church because of being
wrong by one of its members. He
condemned him for staying in an
organization, the presiding author
tiles of which, while acknowledging
the injury done him by member,
'winked' at his degradation and sus-
tained the member in bis wrong-do-
ing. The Examiner Editor would
better go out of the editing business;
his ability to follow line of argu-
ment is no greater than an angle
worms. His whole article reads as
if it had been fixed up over tele-
phone on stormy day.
The Examiner says that James
E. Hart has been a faithful member
of the Church since childhood.
Another statement clearly showing
that The Examiner understands all
the requirements of church govern
ment, and that Hart has fully COM
piled Herewith. 1t appears that
The Examiner editor knows what
he is talking about for Hart certain
ly showed his devotionC?) to the
church when he was in Boise at
tending the Democratic committee
meeting, by giving to the Statesman
the most rabid enemy of the
church in Idaho, except Dubois,
a complete story of his sorrows, and
degradation by the Authorities (be'
cause they sustained Pres. Bulge IN
his position thus rejecting by his
misrepresentation, great creditQl
on the church. Hart just "slops
over" with devotion and he will
show how genuine a Saint he is II
any manner that the Statesman
the editor of the Examiner, or any
other bitter "anti-Mormon" desires
and any anti-Mormon can use Har
and his devotion() to church with
the same precision that the monkey
used the cat when it took the cats
paw to rake the nuts out of the fire
