DEFENSE OF aMoRMoN" PEOPLE

The following taken from the
Desert Ne,oS shows how the "Mor-
mon" people are looked upon in
some quarters by those not of their
faith:
A recent issue Of the New York
Journal contained the following
interesting interview with John p.
Meakin, of thus city:
"Mormons have no idea of en-
couraging the practise of polyga.
my, and that feature of their relg-
ion is fast dying out" says John
P. Meakin, of Salt Lake City, yes
terday. Mr.. Meakin has lived
among the Mormons since 1869,
and although he is a Christian, be
defends the sect from the many at
tacks that have been made as re.
suit of the establishment of a
church in Harlem.
"There are 100000 members OF
the Mormon church." said he, "and
of these only about 500 are polyga-
mists. These entered into the
plural marriages prior TO 1890,
when the law against it was en-
acted. They are honorable men
and will not renounce their wives.
''In fact, the whole subject of
polygamY has been greatly ex-
aggerated. There never were at
any time more than four per cent,
of the Mormons living in polyga-
my. Plural marriages were not
enforced, but the man was per-
mitted to take more than one wife.
Character and means were required
Hundreds of honorable husbands
went to Jail rather than desert the
wives they had married in good
faith.
"There are now in Salt Lake
City only IA polygamists; IA of
these are over so years of age; 5S
are over go years, and the remain
der are over 80. Can New York
show so clean a record2 Polyga-
my is a dying institution. Why
not let it die quickly and quietly,
without reviving its last breath
with the fan Of opposition? Why
not let it go into the past with no
epitaph to cast its shadow upon a
living, aspiring, striving, honest
peopleH"
THEIR STRENGTH AND GOODNESS
"What is the secret element of
power that holds the Mormhn peo-
pie together as unitS" he was
asked.
"The strength and goodness Of
the people lie in their unity. The
Mormons are earnest and honest
in their convictions. They have a
fraternity in their church which is
idealistic, yet real. Each member
is brother or a sister to the other
They have a perfect faith in their
leaders, which has never been mis-
placed. Ofthe five presidents who
have passed away four died poor,
and the other would not be counted
among the wealthy men of this
world"
"If the Mormons are as good as
you represent them to be, how do
you account for the evils laid at
their door2"
"The truth is very simple and
unattractive. Invent sensational
novelty and you get the mob.
Many a halfstarved writer has got
ten something to eat by inventing

"MoRMoN" LOYALTY

Upon being asked if the Nor
mons were not unpatriotic and un-
American, Mr.. Meaken's "No" was
emphatic.
"There are few more touching
pictures in the worlds annals" /"
said he, ethan the journey of those
devoted men and women to Utah.
They were determined band;
their prophet had been killed; they
had been thrust out of civilization
and hurled naked and desolate
upon the wilderness. Behind them
flaming sword was appraised;
there was no return for them; so
destitute as they were, they faced
the unknown. The Mormon peo-
pie may have made mistakes
Who has not? But there need be
no fear of people who descended
from the pioneers of lS47
"Most Americans forget that the
pioneers were also Americans fee
ing from prejudice into the wilder
ness, even as their ancestors before
them had fed from England in the
Mayflowerl Think of these grand
old souls who turned their faces
toward the setting sun. They
crossed the trackless plains; they
climbed the mighty mountains,
descended on the other side with
tired feet, and half starved were
compelled to feed on roots and
barks, working a trail as they ad-
vanced. they finally arrived at the
place now known as Utah. Here
on the barren soil, in July, 1917,
these people knelt and offered
praise service to Almighty God for
the watch he had kept over them,
and from the sod they looked
through tears and planted the flag
whose starry emblem they are
now very popularity supposed to
defy, and when the standard of
American freedom was raised, their
leader pronounced these words,
"Here we will mako our homeW
II appeal to the American peo-
pie to give justice to these brave
pioneers and their generation, for
it was owing in very great meas
ure, to their being true to a
thought, that we now have the
blooming garden of Western
America. When the smoke and
clamor pass away, then the benef-
cial works of the Mormons will
have proper recognition, as having
opened up the New West.
