The Case of Reed SmOOt and the
Testimony Of President Smith.
Spartanburg Herald.

The examination of Presi dent Smith
of the Mormon church reveals All in
teresting situation. Mr.. Smith says
he has five wives, that he has these
each in separate home, that he visits
these homes and that he has five sep
arate families. He also says that he
believes this is right, that the rightness
of it came to him in a revelation, and
while he does not consider that herein
he technically disobeys the laws of the
United States, yet, if by construction
he does, then he would run the risk OF
prosecution as well as being an outlaw,
rather than desert those wives whom
be has taken in good faith under the
law at the time of the marriages. But
exactly what all of this has to do with
the case of Mr.. Reed Smoot we are
quite unable to see. Mr.. Reed Smoot
took the oath to support the constitu-
ton of the United States. 1t has not
been proved nor is there anything in
President Smiths testimony, or in any
testimony so far produced, that will
likely prove that MIR. Smoot is guilty
of polygamy or of any other violation
of the law of the land. What his be-
liefs upon the subject of polygamy are
whether beliefs upon that subject be
considered religious, sociological, or
political has nothing to do, so far as
we can see, with his qualifications for
the senate of the United States.
Mr.. Smoot is one of the Apostles of
the Mormon church. Itseems to be
proved that the Mormon church does
not sanction plural marriages or speci-
fically charges disobedience to law
But again, what has this to do with
Mr.. Smoot and his seat in the senate?
If the Mormon church do sanction
violation of law, because Mr.. Smoot is
one of the twelve apostles, there is con-
siderable doubt as to whether he could
be considered, on that account, an out
law
