A Little Group Of Determined Women Are
Prosecuting and Predict Great Victory
for American Womanhood.

WASHINGTON. March l1.-Polyg-
amy promises to be the hub around
which the Smoot investigation will
revolve.
Church control In political matters
which would not leave Smoot free for
the exercise Of his duties as senator
lie. Of course. very important. If
election from the senate. 1t is. how
ever. rather an intangible matter and
one difficult to prove. For this rea
son the main reliance of the prosecu-
zion promises to be polygamy.
President Smith has admitted that
the practice Of that system continues
among certain members Of the church,
including himself and several OF the
apostles. 1t seems to be the aim Of
the prosecution to. show that Smoot.
as an apostle, has tolerated this prac-
tice. They hope to prove that by his
sanction. at least. he has approved. II.
indeed. he has not enoouraged It.
Polygamy. too, Is responsible chief
ly for the crowd that swarms to the
committee room every day. They
have all heard of polysamy In Utah
and seem curious to learn the present
status of the twin relic Of barbar-
ISM out there.
The committee room is commodi-
Gus for committee purposes. but 1t is
like dot on Il twoacre field COM
pared with the demands made upon
It in connection with this investiga-
ton. A national guard armory would
not hold the crowd that eagerly
presses to the front to hear the testi-
mony. Interest centers in President
Smith. Smoot and the apostles who
have been brought on from Salt Lake
City to tell about conditions out there.
There is a good bit Of interest, too.
In a group Of about eight determined
looking women who get good seats
before the beginning of every session
and hold the fort until adjournment.
To them and women like them
Emoot owes his troubles. They repre-
vent the w. @. T. u. a federation of
! womsn's organizations. and various
associations Of women who have
made up their minds that the United
States senate IS no place for a Nor
mon church Official. Several OF them
are gray haired, but the majority are
tyoung women. They watch the pro-
csedings like avenging angels. and
they will feel, If Smoot is unseated.

and they are given unto him, there
fore is he justified. Doctrine and
Covenants. sec 1872. 61-62)
Apostle Matthias s. Cowley Is quot
ed as having said at a church con-
ference in 1901: IF you have a
teacher in your Sunday schools who
would encourage the young to disre-
gard or dlsrespect a single doctrine
OF the church--plural marriage and
all-turn them out; they have no
tight in the priesthood. Parents. you
must teach the whole doctrine to your
children or they will apostatize and
be damned"
Brigham Roberts, who has three
wives and was for a few moments a
member of congress, said in a signed
article in Mormon paper in 1898:
1obsrts' Defense.
"Polygamy is not adultery. for
were 1t so considered then Abraham
Jacob and the prophets who practiced
it would not be allowed an inheritance
in the kingdom of heaven, and IL
polygamy is not adultery then it can
not be classed as a sin at all. 1t APP
pears to the writer that modern
Christians must either learn to toler-
glorious hope Of resting in Abraham's
bosom. That which he approves. and
so strikingly approves. must be not
only not bad. but positively good, pure
and holy"
The following item. taken from the
Salt Lake Tribune last August. has
been submitted to the committees:
Friends of B. III. Roberts and Mrs.
Celia Dibble Roberts will be inter-
ested in knowing that their Center
Vile home has again been blessed by
the arrival of twins, both being boys
this time. Georgiana and Johanna,
the girl twins who were born to the
couple in 1896. became probably the
most extensively advertised infants
in the United States, but 1t Is scarce
ly probable under present circum-
stances that the newer babies will
achieve a like fame at the same early
age. The twin boys were born last
Monday, but the information. while 1t
became more or less general in Gem
terville early in the week, did not
reach Salt Lake until yesterday. The
twins are said to be fine pair OF
boys. who give every promise of
growing to robust manhood"
When Utah was admitted as a state
in 1880 the Mormons promised to
abandon polygamy. The foregoing
has been submitted to the senate In
support of the charge that they are
sim preaching and practicing the
doctrine. JACOB wALDECK,

address to conference OF young
women at Mammoth. Utah. about two
years ago: Girls. do not forget
polygamy: you can not practice it
now. but keep it alive in your hearts;
there are four girls to every boy in
Utah"
Joseph F. Smith, president OF the
church and the first witness in the
present investigation. said In 1896, at
the dedication of a meeting house at
Payson, Utah: Take care of your
polygamous wives; we don't care for
Uncle Sam now"

that a great victory has been wen for
American womanhood.
Strong Evidence.
In support OF the contention that
polygamy Is not only tolerated but
Is taught ana encouraged by Mormon
leaders, much evidence has been sub
mitted to the committee by the oppo-
nents of Smoot. This evidence is in
the form Of extracts from the stand
ard books of the church and from ad-
dresses delivered by Mormon lecturers
and preachers.
At Beaver, Utah, few months ago,
Elder 9. o. White is reported to have
said: Yes. we believe a man should
