MIR Baker speaks OF a discourse he

the heart of the matter" IN Mormon

As to the notion commonly enter

Mr.. Baker says he was surprised to
lind the former singularly without OBJ
lection to the outsider on account OF
his religious beliefs" while advised
to patronize Mormon industries. he
states that the two classes associate
tremendously, and says further;
yet even In such Intensely Mormon

Gentle professors IN the Agricultural

There II much In tho article In The
June Century that Is commendable and
II is certainly readable and interesting
but the writer as we have intlmated,
gets astray ms to the purported inter-
ference Of the Church IN politics and
other affairs For instance, he re-
marks:
Certain Il is that when man IL orr
derod 10 30 as a missionary, he. goes
ana when the Church says vote for
Smith, smith Is voted for, regardless OF
party and elected and formerly per-
haps even yet when man is directed
TO marry another Wife, he does &C."
That sentence shows that Mr. Baker
talks Of matters about which he knows
nothing The Church does not order
man to go on a mission. The Church
does not say vote for Smith, or for
any person Or party; the Church does
not direct a man to marry another
wife" Tho members Of the church
have complete liberty IN politics, IN
business and IN social affairs. The
doctrine of free agency is an essential
tenet Of the Mormon faith. and It ls
about time that writer's for the press
should learn this fact, and cease from
echoing the nonsense that ever fingers
on the lips Of antl-"Mormon" preachers
and politicians. An article In the
Worlds Work. for June contains some
forcible corrections Of this popular fall
lacy about Mormon political dlcta-
ton, on which we may make some com
ments at future time.
