1t all seems to be sealing" It develops,
too, that Mormons, with all their license,

which shows that Mormon must consult

before he can accept any sort of politi.

Capt. w. A. Parsons, President and
General Manager Of James River Valley

Virginia, visited Washington last week.
C0mrade Parsons served in Co. e. seth

serving three years. He commanded two
companies on the skirmish line and took
the lead in the capture Of Fort Harrison,
one Of the strongest forts on the line,
seven miles west Of Richmond, near
James River. Immediately after the war
he settled in Richmond, and probably was
the first purchaser of real estate in that
city after the close Of hostifities, his pur-
chase consisting Of business property on
Main street, the deal being closed while
the ruins were still smoking. He en-
gagged In mercantile business in Rich

went up James River and purchased a
farm. In II he was elected Sheriff Of the
County and served three terms-nine years.

Jury that indicted Jefferson Davis for trea-
son, and was one OF the seven men that or

asked the Senators what they intended to
do about it. He reiterated the fact that
he was living in polygamous Capitalization

what it would do about that.
Senator Bailey (Tex.) said that President
Smiths views on the subject of Congress
dealing with the question of polygamy in
Utah or any other State was pretty good

to accept it. That is what is facing Con-
gress. The Smoot case has developed the
fact that at least half of the Apostles and
many Of the old Bishops of the Church
are living in poiygamy. Many OF them
have had children born within the last fiye
years. President Smith has had six
children born to him in that time. It has
been proven that the Courts OF Utah are
perfectly familiar with this condition of
affairs, and that the law of the State and
OF the Church OF Mormon are now being
violated, but nobody takes any steps to
stop the infraction Of the law OF either
God or man. And what are you going to
