Ministries at the Empire.

The Empire theater was filled to
overflowing last night at the opening
performance of John W. Nogel'S
MINISTRIES. Arthur Rigby and Lew
Benedict, the end men, were great
favOrites, but the climax of enthuSi-
aSm was reached when the Meirose
troupe f "a, r bats were given their
part of the performance. These tum-
blerS were about as daring acrobats as
have been seen here, and i5 vas al
mott beyond understanding bow they
did some of their turns. The min
Strel end Of the Company managed to
get off some new jokes, and the sing
ing was notably good. Harry Leigh
ton. who filled the double role Of sing
er and stage manager, made the hit
of the evening in solo work, not so
much because of the solo he sang, but
because OF the sweetness Of his voice.

ion would have been that it was a

The SmoOt Case.

The Investigation of Reed Smoot s
qualifications for a United States sea-
atorshlp seems likely to take a wide
ranee-so wide that the committee
may conclude that much of the testi-
mony introduced has no real bearing
on the question at issue. The ques-
ton is not as to the merits or demer-
it's of the Mormon religion nor wheth-
er the practice of polygamy cali be
Justified before the law on the ground
of religious belief: it is whether Mr..
Smoot is in this or any other respect
disqualified from holding a seat III the
Senate.
Hostility to the Mormon religion is
SO general and d~eep-seated that it is
difficult for most persons to consider
impartially any question into which
MormoniSm enters. Yet MOrmOniSm
has an equal standing before the law
with other religions. and those who
believe in it as q religion can only in
cur a legal penalty by committing
some criminal offense. Belief in
Mormonism is not in itself a criminal
offense any more than belief in Meth
odism. Presbyterianism or Seventh
Day Adventism. The fact that some
of the teachings of Mormonism are
absurd, others blasphemous and others
shocking does not alter the case in
this regard. A person may believe
what he pleases, provided his belief
does not lead him to violate the law.
Mr. Smoot is not a practical poly
gamist and never has been. He has
never had but one wife. AS far as
this question is concerned. therefore,
he has not violated the law and is not
subject to any penalty or disqualified.
ton. The fact that he is a Mormon
and that polygamy was formerly
taught and practiced BY the church
and is still practiced by some Of its
members, does not affect his standir G
at all. The only question that could
arise in his case On this point is wheth-
er he practiced polygamy-not
whether he theoretically believed in
1t, but whether he practiced it. AS
it is not claimed that he has ever had
more than one wife he is immune On
this point.
But it is claimed that as IN apostle
In the Mormon church Mr.. Smoot has
taken IN oath OF assumed obligations
to the church inconsistent with his
obligations as a United States senator.
This is a political question and entire.
ly distinct from the religiouf phase OF
the question and from polygamy. II
it can be shown that Mr.. Smoot has
assumed an obligation to the Mormon
Church which In the possible event OF
a conflict would override and nullify
bis oath as a senator to support the
Constitution Of the United States be
ought not to hold a seat in the Senate.
This seems to be the real point at is.
