EUREKA AND PAYSON
Two Utah POSioffiCeS Mentioned
in the Report of
BriSiOW.
Special to The Heraldl


Washington. March I'm Bristow's re-
port two Utah offices are mentioned, Eu-
reka and Payson. At Eureka. in 1901,
Senator Kearns requested an allowance
Of $500 TO enable the postmaster to employ
a laborer and this was authorized by
Beavers from April /. In July. 1893, an
inspector was sent to Eureka TO investi-
gate and reported that the office was en-
titled to $780, but this report was disap-
proved by the chief inspector at Wash
ingtOn. and in September, 1893. the al
lowance was discontinued. In this case
the office al Washington took the course
seldom followed Of disappearing an in
spectOr's report who justified the allow
ance. At PaySOn, in June. 1908. an in
spector recommended a reduction and in
September the allowance was discontin-
ue6.
The allowance FOR clerk hire at Evans
ton. Wyo-. was increased from $3.50 To $500
per annum from April I last The post
master had reported i'm February that
transit mail handled would warrant $3.50
per annum. This case was personally
recommended. Mr.. BristOW saws by SEN
ator Warren in October last The post
maStcrS report showed that Sef0 WAS the
proper rating for the service and the al
loWance was reduced to that amount
Dec. 1 last.
The disclosures made in the Bristow
report have been disappointing to those
who anticipated some sensational deyel-
opments. 1t is asserted by Republican
members that the report was published 10
satisfy the public that no members OF
the house or senate were involved in ir-
reSuiartties open to censure. and. the pub
nc having been aroused on tho subject
the suppression OF the report would have
created a decidedly unfavorab BILE inpras-
sion. The members mentioned are in no
way disturbed, the opposite being the
case in practically all Instances.
The house will debate the report We'd

United States Senator Reed SmoOt OF
Utah is on trial before the committee on
privileges and elections for expulsion from
the senate on the ground that. being one
of tho twelve apostles Of the Mormon
church he is engaged in a propaganda of
pOlygamy and his religious oaths and OBJ
libatiOns are Incompatible with his oath
of office and affect his loyalty TO the
United States government
Senator Shoots case is entirely differ
ent from that OF Brigham II. Roberts
who was electede TO the house of repre-
sentatives from Utah IN 1899 and was re-
fused his seat on the ground that he was
a practical pOlygamst and who was sub
sequently convicted of pOlygamy in q
Uah state court. Senator Smoot IL IS
true, has been charged with having more
than one wife. but the charge has been
dropped and has not been alluded to IN
the present Investigation.
The proceedings of the committee now
investigating the Sm0ot case. SO far as
they have been reported do not reflect
any great credit on the committee. ON the
investigation or on those who are at the
back of IT, A whole session recently was
devoted to the examination OF Joseph f.
Smith. president of the Mormon church:
on the subject of Mormon revelations the
color Of the different angels who COM
municated them and the binding effect OF
one revelation over another preceding rev.
elati0n. Some members of the committee
had TO inquire over and over what was
the purpOrt of the examination.
The position of the Mormon church in
regard 10 pOlygamy and civil government
Is Well known. IL claims 10 have had
divine revelation establishing DOlygamy
but that after the United States law was
passed forbidding Il the first revelation
was suspended by a second. IT believes

words for our sisters, and we think
such nobility of character and fearless
ness on your part are worthy of record
in the history of our people, and be-
lieve that the Lord will bless you I'm
standing for right, even though you
should stand alone.
We assure you of our sincere good
fellowship for all women who are labor

you may always have wisdom to dis
Germ the truth and stand firm for the
right. Assuredly you will not lose your
reward here or hereafter"

COMPARISON WITH ABRAHAM.
California Paper Thinks President
Smith the Better Man.
(Sacramento Bee.)


President Smith of the Mormon church
has publicly declared he has a plurality
OF wives and he proposes to protect them
He says he has taken no new ones since
the ant-polygamy law went into effect.
Before the congressional committee on
Wednesday he said:
Il married my first wife more than
thirty-eight years ago and my last wife
more than twenty years ago. BY those
wives I have had children, and l have
preferred to take my own chances with
the law and suffer any consequences the
law might visit upon me rather than
abandon those children and their moth
ers.'
The Bee has always held that our po-
lygainy laws should severely punish any
future disregard OF the doctrine of mo-
nogamy, but should not seek to humili-
ate the wives of the past nor barsardize
their children.
About the meapest thing old Abraham
did was to turn iHagar out into the viii
derness.
