The common complaint against the
'Alormons," as found today In the
American press and echoed In our own
newspapers, Is that the heads OF the
Church use their ecclesiastical positions
to give them a political prominence,
and that the Mormon vote Is swung
as the leaders dictate, the growing
vote proving IA menace to the western
states. But the very presence OF
thousands of voters In Canada, who
have come here on the recommended
ton OF some Of the Church leaders
ought to 60 long ways In dlsproving
this contention that the ambition OF
the Church Is TO assume political con
troll I'm their own land. These people
did not have to come TO Canada and
thus lose to the Church their votes II
the latter we're OF such importance as
has been claimed They came here be-
cause II was deemed that their tenn
poral welfare would be advanced.
Nor do the influential men OF the
west show any fear lest the Nor
mon vote capture the states In whicf
they are interested. II men like j. J
HIll thought there were danger Of sucf
am event would he be today holding
out inducements to these people to set
tie IN northern Montana I'm preference
to southern Alberta? Or would th'
legislatures of Washington and Idaho
be putting themselves to the trouble
they are to stop the Mormon" exodus
10 Canada and promote the establish
ing OF colonies Of these people In thei
own states?

ANOTHER TESTIMONY.

The following letter contains one
more bit Of evidence that the Prophet
Joseph Smith did publicly preach the
doctrine Of plural marriage In Nauvoo
in July, 1913, as testified by n, T. Sill
cock and corroborated by Elizabeth
Benson

TO the Editor,

There is also some vegetation, and In

would be less difficult TO explore than

latitudes. The known part OF Antarcti-
ca can be used as startlng-polnt for
journeys to It's unknown parts, and al
though not laylshly provided for by ma
ture, still, II all other sources are ex-
hausted, there are penguins and seals

man life indefinitely No matter how

Of the charges grouped by Alfred Hen
ry Lewis. He could have learned the
facts II ne mad wanted chem; lie could
have obtained correct information II he
had desired Il; he chose TO formulate
a batch OF Infamous stories poured into
his willing ears, for the delectation OF
prurlent and eager lovers OF the mar
yellous, stirred up for their reception
by the malevolence OF our enc
mics and abetted by the COM
ments Of the prejudiced and ignorant,
OF the same nature Is the cartoon
drawn-O, lovers OF art,-by the re-
nowned Charles Dana Gibson, and
called Portrait Of Latter-day Saint,
II was as absolutely necessary for the
artist TO tell what he meant by his
imaginative picture as It was for the
primitive painter TO place under his
irdistingushable effort, This Is a
Cow Mr.. Gibson, In that lnexcusable
libel upon as upright, intelligent and
intellectual a body OF religious wor-
shippers as can be found under the sun,
has placed huge blot on the produc-
lions from his stylus which have at
tracted so many beholders and elected
so much admiration. 1t seems pill
able that he should have descended 80
low, In following the drift Of rabid
and senseless rush Of popular fury
without reason or discretion, as To be-
daub devout society by carlcature
that bears no resemblance however
faint to any being entitled to the name
OF Latter. day Saint" That draughts'
man Of his ability has thus exhibited
streak Of vulgarity, venom and I'M
yeraclty. so different from his usual
productions, is as unexpected as It Is
deplorable.
Just as astonishing as either OF the
efforts we have here slightly touched
upon, ls their publication IN so es'
teemed magazine az Golfers. II Is
one more proof Of the proneness Of the
press to follow instead Of lead the pub
| lis mind. 1t Is the old, old story. Take
the opinions Of the people, from the
highest 10 the lowest In imperial
Rome as TO the beliefs and
dolngs of the early Christians, and how
much truth or sense was there in those
| established notions? Nothing more
| vile or false was said against the Tor
mer.day Saints than Is now repeated
about the Latter-day Saints. What
ever means were available TO circulate
those terrible tales were brought to
bear then. and II Ia the same now.
Time has demonstrated the folly, wick
edness and monstrosity Of those COM
monty accepted rumors, and time VIII
expose the wrongs committed now OF a
similar character and tendency.
All We ask Is that urged by the
| Christian Science paper already men
toned. and we think our request Is
| reasonable Before attacking an UNI
popular people or creed, find out the
facts, as you would other matters OF
Importance, or you will be liable to aid
In efforts that are vile and vindictlve
and for personal or party ends. and
that are so unjust and cruel that they
are utterly lnexcusable. Hear both
sides Of matter before YOU utter
Judgment!

GOLFERS BAD BREAK.

We have received a copy OF weekly
publication in which the press Of the
country are asked "to exercise the same
care IN determining the authenticity
and news value of articles rejecting up
Oh Christian Scientists, that they use In
passing upon other matters coming to
them through channels apart from their
own recognized and carefully selected
avenues of ews-gatherlng.' That Is
very good advice and reasonable re-
quest. We have endeayored to do this
without the admonton, But why
should not the same care be exercised
In the case Of articles rejecting upon
the "Mormons,' as they are commonly
called, and in regard to the stories told
about them and their doctrines?
We are led to the application OF the
appeal cited above, to the course pur-
sued against our faith and It's adherents
By the very surprising treatment both

had favorable reception among our
people and good notices from the pes-
cret News. But for the sake OF pan
dering TO sudden abnormal appetite
for Mormon" pabuum, melted by
the blgotry and Misrepresentation Of
