The Oath Not Disloyal.

Mr. Dougall was recalled at the request
of Senator Knox and asked whether there
was anything in his endowment oath in
compatible with his allegiance to his state
and the nation. He replied that there was
nothing Mr Noon was recalled and an
swered the same question in the negative.
Chairman Burrows again recalled Mr.. Dou-
gall and several senators wanted to know
why he would state a part of the cere-
mony and would not state it all.
He said he could not remember the exact
wording of the obligation of vengeance, but
was sure it not hostile to the govern
ment and that it was exclusively religious
and not related in any manner to civil or
governmental affairs.
William Hatfield of Salt Lake was sworn.
He was a Mormon until he was twenty
two years of age, and then drifted away
from the church. He testified that polyg-
amy is decreasing and that he had known
of no plural marriages since 1890.
Mr.. Hatfield took the endowments at the
time he was married. He was twenty-one
years old then and left the church about a
year later. Soon after he was sworn the
committee took a recess.

A. A. Nocn of Provo, a republican tustic
of the peace and former Mormon, VIII
voluntarily withdrew from the church in
1870, testified that young Mormons are op
posed to polygamy, and also that Mormons
are not taking any part in politics as a
church He has been candidate for office
bennially since 1890. and with the excep-
tion of 1896 has defeated Mormon candi
dates. He indorsed Senator Smoot highly
and was not surprised, he said at his elec
tion AS senator.
After his marriage Mr.. Noon said he tool
the endowments. Mr.. Worthington asked
him if he took an oath to avenge the blood
of the prophets upon this nation The
witness said he was perfectly clear thai
there was nothing in the obligation taker
expressing hostility to the nation or to this
government. He said it was taken fro3
the scriptures, Revelation, chapter VI
verses 3 and 10.
There was nothing in it, he said of dis
had been forty years since he took the en-
dowment and he could not remember the
exact language, it did not particularly
impress him.
ON cross-examination Mr. Noon said h,
did not concern himself with polygamy, ant
was unable to state who were polygamist
in Provo.
Many names were read to him, and ne
identified them. by common repute, as NV
ing in polygamy.
Chairman Burrows asked Mr.. Noon ais1
il; regard to the endowment ceremony, and
he declined to state its nature. He would
not say whether there was a change IN
wearing apparel, whether there was Sc
we're penalty attached to revealing whal
had taken place or anything connected
with the obligations.
what would you say as to whether tho
penalty was to have the tongue torn oul
or the vitals cut out of the body?" asked
Chairman Burrows.
'''rhat is like all of the other questions
l do not feel that l could answer" Mr
Noon replied.

FRENCH CRITICISED.
Japanese Press Commented Over Stay
of Russian Ships.

TOKYO, January 14.-Noon-The French
are sharply criticised for permitting the
ships of the second Pacific squadron of the
Russian navy to make prolonged stay at
Madagascar. Heretofore the Japanese
press and people, realizing the peculiar po-
sition in which France was placed, were
not disposed to judge her actions too Sc
verely, but the Asahi today says:
'It is no longer possible to overlook the
French observance of neutrality nor
her disregard for the obligations of neu-
trail nation.
"Coaling the ships of the second Pacific
squadron in French ports has eliminated
in allowing Rear Admiral Rojestvensky to
remain for twelve days awaiting reinforce
ments and in the use of Madagascar as a
base of operations against the Jpanese
fleet, now reported IN the Indian ocean,
such action is little less than hostile,
and If France is sincere in her promises of
strict neutrality the ships of the second
Pacific squadron ought long ago have been
sent away or disarmed
Further temporizing for the purpose of
rendering assistance to the Russian ves-
sells must be considered a serious breach of

FORCE US TO BUY THE BEE!

Editor Wilkerson of the Bates vile Bee is threatening to bring suit against the editor of The Journal to compel us to buy h,m out, and in this weeks issue of the Bee makes an extended statement of what he terms the sale of the Bee.
 This is a matter that is of abso- lutely no concern to the public, and IS the private business of no one but Mr. WiIkerson and our self, but since Mr. Wilkerson has seen fit to charge Us with violating a contract, we must say that he has mis-stated the facts in the case.
 Mr. Willerson has made sever al unsuccessful efforts to sell the Bee to the editor of The Journal, and about q month ago he took the matter up with us again At that time we became more interested in the proposed deal than hereto. fore, and thought seriously of closing the deal for the Bee. Mir. Wilkerson demanded that we put up forfeit of $50. This we final Iy consented to do, pending full investigation of the matter, anc Mir. Wilkerson signed an agree ment to turn the property over to us on the first day of May, pro vided we paid him the balance ot the purchase price on that date The editor of The Journal signed no agreement whatever, as Mir Wilkerson, 1t seems, would have the public believe, and we defy him to produce any agreemen whatever, signed by the editor O this paper.

In justice to our friend "Ob. server" The Journal must say that our good brother, J. 1. Mar
 tin, is barking up the wrong tree. , Observer is not il North ern man, but k native of Inde- pendence county, and there is not 4 better or more aw-abidlng eiti aeu in the county, nor man in whom the people have more conf
 dence. The editor of The Journal has been intimately acquainted with him for some time, and we can say that he is not a profane man-in fact we have never heard him swear an oath. And, even if he was a Northern man, why abuse him for that. There are just as good men in the North as in the South. and we are q little surpris- ed that our friend Martin should endeavor to inject sectional preju- dices into matter of this kind. Some of as good citizens as can be found within the borders of lnde- pendence county today, came from the North. They are entitled to the same privileges, and have the same right to their opinions that we have, and The Journal thinks it very unwise and undignified for
