SMOOT AND POLYGAMY

church's anti-polygamy manifesto
of 1890. Six other "apostles, he
says, also have more than one wife
each, but all these marriages tooaEa

ifesto of $780," he declares, mo

riage with the knowledge or ap-
proval of the church, His reason
for continuing his state of plural
matrimony is the one usually Civ
en- by the Mormons. II would
rather face the law" he says, "than
desert my family" He states his
case thus:
II had a family-a plural family
if you please. I married my first
wife more than thirty-eight years
ago, and my last wife more than 20
years ago. By these wives I have
had children, and 1 have preferred
to take my own chances with the
law and suffer any consequences
the law might visit upon me rather
than to abandon these children and
their mothers. I have continued
to cohabit with them since the
manifesto of 1890, and they have
borne me children since that date.
l was fully aware of what I was do
ing. I knew I was amenable to
the law, but, as I say, preferred
to face the situation rather than to
desert them. I have not cohabited
with these wives openly or faunted
the fact, but I have acknowledged
these wives and children as my fam.
lily. The people of Utah have re-
garded the situation as an existing

Jimmie Eaton, who was horseback,
came in contact with a live electric
light wire on Main street in front
of the Safer residence. AS a result
the boy will lose one and possibly
two 6ngers-the third and fourth

badly burned, and the boy badly
injured otherwise. The horse was
also badly injured. 1t seems mir
acle that both were not killed. DR..
Numbers, who dressed the wounds,
stated that the flesh on one of the
fingers was fearfully burned and
lacerated to the bone. 1t seems
that while trimming trees in front
of the Safer residence one of the
falling limbs struck the wire and
loosened it in such a manner as to
allow it to drop and swing across

PIONEER BOND
ELECTION RETURNS

Last Monday the Board of Di-
rectors of the Pioneer Irrigation
District met to canvass the returns
Of the bond election held on the
9th of the month. The result was
found to be as follows:
Precinct No. I cast IS votes for
bonds. none against; No. 2, "a for,
I against; No. 3, 10 for, none
against; No. q. 2o for, 2 against;
No. 5, a. for, none against. There
were 134 votes cast of which 131
were for bonds and 3 against. The
vote polled was only about so per
cent of the registration and not to
exceed rs per cent of the actual
vote of the District. The lightness
of the vote resulted from the fact
that there was no contest, the peo-
pie being almost a unit for bonds.
By this vote the Directors are auth
orized to issue $40, 900 more Of the
bonds of the District, which added
to the former issue makes a total of
$247,5oo. This makes the cost of
the system about 81. 80 per acre,
which is the cheapest water right
to be found anywhere in the coun-
try, except possibly along river
bottoms. 1t is probable that when
every detail of the plant, inclusive
of complete and adequate lateral
system, is finished, the cost will go
to $3.50 per acre, but it will then
be the most elaborate and satisfac-
tory irrigation plant in the State.
1t would seem that the people Of
the Pioneer Irrigation District have
every reason for being we'll satisfied
with the situation.

The Mormon president says that
his people enjoy great freedom of
opinion, and tells that only three or
four per cent are living in polyg-
amy. He declares:
The members of the Mormon
Church are amongsthe freest, most
independent people of all the Chris
tian denominations. They have
freedom of speech, freedom of
thought. They are not all united
on every principle of the church.
They are not expected to be. They
are entitled to their own conception
in regard to the principles of the
church; their own conception of
what appear to them to be the right
or the wrong. So long as one ac-
cepts God and his opinion is not in
conflict with the accepted standards
of the church, he enjoys fellowship
in the church. He who denies
God, he who commits adultery, or
steals, or lies, or bears false witness
against his neighbor in any way,
or goes contrary to the cardinal
principles of Our Christian religion,
is compelled to withdraw. But
one who is honest, virtuous, be-
lieves in God, and has little faith

in our religion, is nurtured, though
he may not believe in the church in
all that it teaches. In that book
Mr.. Smith pointed to one of the
volumes that had been identified
earlier in the proceedings] is rev.
elation on plural marriages. Not
more than three or four per cent Of
the entire membership of the church
have entered that state. All the
rest have abstained from plural
marriages, and many thousands
have rejected the principle entirely"
The New York Globe is shocked
at "the cool effrontery and ca1lous
immortality" of the man who owns
up to having led such life; and
the Springfield Republican thinks
that "the least that can be said" is
that the Mormon Church "needs a
new head, who will obey the laws
of the laud, rather than insolenlty
defy them" The Philadelphia
Press admits that Mr.. Smoot's
unftness to be a Senator is not
yet established, but it believes
that "the inquiry draws near this
proof"
The Hartford Courant argues
that Congress has no right to object
to any Senator or Representative on
religious grounds; and the Boston
Herald says:
THE Republican party has flirt-
ed too openly with Mormonism as
political factor to make it logical
for Republican Senators to refuse to
sit with one whose ofense is only
that he belongs to that church.
without having broken any statute
law in his personal conduct. Utah

Office without subjection to a relig-
ious test"

der favorable conditions as a rail-
road company. For instance Ga
traction engines are being used as
feeders along the line of the South
ern Pacific railroad. When the
distance exceeds so miles the rail-
road is the cheaper. In California
the traction engine is universally
used. 1t has proved a great factor
in the development of the country
as the traction engine train "moves
along dirt roads or rolls over the
deserts trackless sands, or in the
forest blowing its way through the
underbrush as they pass; a train
that fords streams and climbs noun
tains; a train that stops and turns
whenever it pleases, as its right.of-
way is as broad as the valley" as
a recent magazine writer words it.
Arrangements have also been made
with the Pearl Mining and Milling

When President Joseph F. Smith
of the Mormon Church, took the
stand on Wednesday of last week
to testify before the Senate Com
mittee in the Smoot case, he de-
scribed himself as a prophet, seer
and "revelator," says the Literary
Digest. But those who looked for
any revelations of a startling or
significant sort in his testimony
were disappointed, for he told moth
ing that has not been generally
known and made use Of in all the
discussions of Mormonism in re-
cent years. 1t is an interesting
spectacle, however, to see the head
of that peculiar religious orgarlza-
ton examined by committee OF
the United States Senate; and the
daily papers have been filling many
columns with the questions and
answers relating to the marital re-
1ations of the Mormon president.
Senator Reed Smoot, the Nor
mon apostle, whose right to a seat
in the Senate, is the main subject
of this inquiry, is not himself a
polygamist; but his opponents are
trying to show that the Mormon
hierarchy, of which he is a mem
Der, "form a propaganda of polyg-
any," to use Senator Beveridge's S
expression, and they are trying to
show, further, "that Mr.. Smoot
could not by. any possibility put
himself up against his associates in
his actions, not even in his vote as
a Senator" "
President Smith testifies that he
has FIVE wives, each of whom has

reserve, created November "a, 1902,
and partially restored in 1904, con-
tanning 5oI, 200 acres, aud the Saw
tooth reserve, also created in 1902,
with 1884,, ,48o acres. These two
forest reservations comprise thirty
townships and cover most valuable
mining regions. A railroad now
building toward that section is stop
ped by the restriction which are
thrown about the reservations, and
the country is therefore tied up and
capital shut out.
Besides these. there is the Priest
River reserve, containing 645,12o
acres; the Henry's Fork reserve,
1000 acres; the Meadow Greek
reservation, 1873, ,24o acres, and the
Pocatello forest reserve, 1920 acres
this latter, however, IS to protect
the water supply of Pocatello and
necessity existed for its creation.
Viewed as a whole, however, it
is little wonder that Idahoans are
protesting against the tying up of
any more lands in the State in for
est reservations.

The Reading Room

Editor TR1BUNE-The subject of
the Reading room was brought be-
fore the public and voted on. The
citizens voted in favor of having
the reading room taken over by the
council. And as the council repre-
sents the people, the councilmen
have no right to go back on the
ballot. The room is comfortable
and many go there to spend an
hour, who could not get into either
the public school library or the
college library. The Free Reading
Room is for the benefit of the peo-
pie and not for any exclusive class.

HEPBURN AND IDAHO
FOREST RESEVERS

Senator Hepburn in compliance
with request from President Roose-
welt has prepared and submitted
some data regarding Idaho forest
reserves.
In area Idaho contains 81, 2oo
square miles, OF 52,944,6oo acres Of
land. The existing forest reserves
under executive order aggregate
4,S42,2 ,24o acres; the existing with.
drawals, 5,I56,899 acres, or practi.
cally 20 per cent of the entire acre
age of the State.
To this enormous aggregate the
Bureau of Forestry has been con-
templatlng an increase, and il was
this conclusion which caused the
senator to enter a most vigorous
protest and which resulted in the
order OF the President cited above,
Senator Hepburn pertinently re-
marks that if, when it is contem.
plated to create a forest reserve or
withdraw lands from entry on iu-
