NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There was sentiment, sometimes
strongly expressed by broadminded
men and public journals when Utah
was admitted into the Union, that UNI
der the pledge Of the state further
poygamous marriages being prohibit
cd. there should be no interference with
people who were and had been for
years involved in plural family rela-
lions. Denlals Of this come either from
transformation, or ignorance, or wlful
peryersion Of the facts. We recur to
this matter because OF the following
acknowledgment Of the existence OF
that sentiment which Appeared In the
Sacramento Bee OF March 5,
President Smith, Of the Mormon
Church has publicly declared he has
plurality Of wives and he proposes to
protect them. He says he has taken
no new ones since the Anti-Polygamy
law went into effect Before the Con-
gressional committee on Wednesday
he said
- married my first wife more than
thirty-eight years ago, and my last
wife more than twenty years ago, BY
those wives / 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 abandon those children
and their mothers
"'The Bee has always held that our
polygamy laws should severely punish
any future disregard Of the doctrine Of
mOnogamy, but should not seek 10 hui
initiate the wives Of the past nor bast-
ardi2e their children,
About the meanest thing old Abra-
ham did was to turn Hagar out into
the wilderness.
In one respect at least, Smith Of
Utah Is better man than was Abra-
ham Of Ur."
Touching on the question OF the
course to be pursued In relation to
the families OF men who contracted
plural marriages before the issuance
OF the manifesto" the Worcester Spy
OF March has this timely editorials
THE frankness with which the head
OF the Mormon Church explains his pri-
yate life Is amazing, While there Is no
sympathy In the east for polygamlst,
we can understand this mans position
toward his FIVE wives He believes,
OF course that his first duty Is to his
wives and children. Just what duty the
state has to perform In a case like this
1t Is pretty hard to state.
III a man Is telling the exact truth
about the abandonment Of polygamy
II Is quite possible that the conditions
win cure themselves IN time and So
clety will be better off, perhaps, than
10 prosecute men and women who
entered the state OF polygamy before
1890
THE effectual diyorcing Of polyga-
nous wives would work extreme hard
ship on innocent women and children
more than upon the men, The inves-
tigatlon Of Senator Smooi has justified
itself and Il has apparently turned into
an investigation OF polygamy In Utah.
Apparently the Mormon Church Is not
afraid Of explaining its position.
Congress has hardly the right TO In.
vestlgate any church, The United
states guarantees religious indepen-
dence a mans religious Views must
be protected by Congress and not In
terfered with. or course the publicity
Of this investigation affords the Nor
mon Church an opportunity TO explain
itself frankly and efficiently"

cidedly international complexion, mas
much as representatives Of other ma
lions also are expected to be present
II Is safe TO say that never before has
the land 30 dear TO Christian faith and
IN which SO many notable scenes have
been enacted, witnessed such demon
stratlon as this worlds gathering Of
Sunday school workers must prove to
be.
The trip will undoubtedly be one OF
memorable interest 10 the pilgrims
themselves, and they VIII learn many
things Of special value to Sunday
school teachers. relative to the correct
exegesis Of the sacred text, The hope
is also expressed that by their great
number they will impress the Jews
and Mohammedans with the strength"
Of the Christianity OF western ma
lions. In this they will be disappolnt-
cd, though. Thousands OF pilgrims visit
the Holy Land every year, some from
Russia, some from France, Italy. and
other countries, but the numbers do
not oyerwhelm the stole Arab or the
mercenary Hebrew II the pilgrims
come prepared to spend large sums OF
money on guides and on all kinds OF
relies and mementoes, as well as on
beggars Of every description, they will
make favorable impression, but not
otherwise.
The Sunday school laborers will have
a chance OF visiting places held by
Christians Jews, and Mohammedans
alike, as we'll places revered by only one
of these great divisions. The will visit
the ancient home Of Abraham. They
will see what Is called the tomb OF
David, and the ruins OF structures
reared by Solomon. They will walk
upon fields where once the feet OF the
Savior trod. and where His ancestors
lived and labored, II is to be hoped
that their history will not fail to bring
to the visitors the lessons they carry
for the benefit Of the present time.

Portland Oregonlan.

Senator Reed Smoot, though an ad-
herent OF the Mormon faith and
member In good standing OF the Nor
mon Church, is the self-proelaimed
husband Of one wife and otherwise
law abiding citizen OF the State OF
Utah. lie has never been a polygamlst
IN practice, whatever he has been or Is
In theory. He has never sought to
eyade the law that forbids plural mar
rlage. It will possibly be difficult 10
find what his private opinion Is upon
this question Or II he admits that ne
believes In polygamy, 1t viii be difficult
to unseat him by means OF this passive
imperative belief The blind beliefs OF
the Mormon faith, and the inapplica-
bllity OF some of them TO modern COM
munity life, are no greater than are
those of many others. 1t Is granted
that the practice OF polygamy has been
prohibited by wise and wholesome leg
islation, Civilized society has made a
demand In this matter that Is generally
accepted as necessary TO secure stabil :
ity OF its institutions the basis OF which
is the orderly harmonious home
II man respects this law In order
ing his personal conduct, 1t Is not easy
to see how he can be pursued into the
domain OF private opinion and made 70
revise his beliefs In accordance with
the statute, on penalty Of enforced re-
tIrement from public lie.
