of Claude W. Cannon against the d.
and R. G. for damages resulting from

foot. He bfough, suit for $Sl 900
damage, and was awarded $1,000. In
the records filed by the attorneys of
the road they claim that the jury err.
red in their manner of arriving at the
sum to he awarded Each of the
jurymen wrote on slip of paper the
sum he thought adequate for the loss.
The twelve sums were then totaled and
the total was divided by twelve. thus

Mormonism in a Crisis.

There can be no doubt but that the
Investigation of the senate into the
right of Honorable Reed Smoot. seua.
tor from Utah, to sit in that body
will attract an attention possibly
quiry into the question Of polygamy.
Public opinion over the country, rs
voiced in mass meetings, resolutions
of women clubs and other expressions
from all ranks and conditions of men,
has been aroused to unwonted pitch
That the investigation will be thor
ough, and go deeply into the position
which the Mormon church occupies in
its relations to plural marriages and
the government of the United States.
is demonstrated in the demand of the
senate com mittee on elections for
power to send for persons and papers.
Vested with this authority the com.
mittee can force into its presence in.
dividuals endowed with the secrets Of
the Mormon hierarchy and under
oath, and in the fierce light of pub
licity, these persons must deny or
affirm the charges which from time
to time have been brought against the
Church of Latter Day Saints.
The assertion has been repeatedly
made that the Mormon church is an
ecclesiastical conspiracy against this
government; that it is a persistent
violator of law, and that the arms of
its power embrace an oath bound or
ganization sworn to destroy this gov
erpment or else to control it. Sepa.
rate and apart from the curse of poly
gamy which it has fostered. these
questions should be settled once and
for all In an existence of half a
century there must certainly be con.
elusive evidence to prove the truth
of these assertions, il they exist.
As for Mr.. Smoot, he denies every.
thing. The influence of the Mormon
church, he declares is exercised spirit.
ually and not temporarily. He is en-.
titled to the benefit of the doubt. But
il sworn testimony ia adduced to
prove any of the above charges then
he is the emissary of reasonable
conspiracy; the representative Of a
law defying power, and he should be
driven from his high place as Brigham
Roberts was driven into obscurity be.

Referring to the statement made last
week in these columns that Col. Mil
lard had prompted "Chubby" Galliger
to advertise for correspondents with
matrimonial intentions, we feel it our
duty to say in behalf of the Col. that
it has developed that he was looking
over the letters received through pure
idle curiosity and not with the inten-
ton of selecting correspondent. In
fact it may be stated that he is not
looking for mate with his minds eye
but has the windows of his soul glued
upon at least two dear charmers, with
either of whom he could be happy.
