Power of Apostles.

Every apostle is a part of this terri
BILE power, which can make and unmake
at it's mysterious will and pleasure.
Early in 1902 warning had been public
ly uttered in the state against the con-
tinued manifestation of church power
in politics. The period of unsettled
conditions during which I was elected
had ended, and we had opportunity to
see the manner iai which the church
monarch was res,nning his forbidden
sway; and we had be- azioasto knoH the
indignant feelings enteftaned by 1.-The
people Of the United states when they

as a barrier to protect the members
OF that monarchy from public ven
geance. 1t is the duty of this great
body, the senate Of the United States.
TO serve notice on this church mon<
archy that they must live within the
law; that the nation is supreme. that
the institutions of this country must
prevail throughout the land. and that
cOmpacts upon which statehood is
granted must be preserved inviOlate
May heaven grant that this may be
effective and that the church mon
archy In Utah may be taught that il
must relinquish its grasp.
I would not. for my life, that in
jury should come 10 the innocent mass
of the people of Utah; I would not
that any right of theirs should be lost,
but that the rights OF all should be
preserved to all.
If the senate viii apply this rem
edy and the alien monarchy still
proves defiant il viii be for others
than myself to suggest course Of
action consistent with the dignity of
the country.
In the meantime We of Utah who
have no sympathy with the now clear
" defined purpose of this church mon
archy, will wage our battle Tor indi-
ViduaI freedom, 10 lift the state TO
proud position in the sisterhoOd, TO

archy, stand the sentiment and power

contemplated the fragrant breaking of
the pledge given to the country to Sc
cure the admission of Utah. I myself,
after conference with distinguished men
at Washington. journeyed to Utah and
presented solemn protest and warning
TO the leaders of the church against
the dangerous exercise OF their pOlit-
zeal power. 1 did il to repay a debt
which 1 owed to Utah. and not for any
selfish reason. ] knew that from the
day l uttered that warning the leaders
pursue me for the purpose of wreaking
their vengeance. But as the conse-
quences OF their misconduct, their
pledge breaking, would fall upon all of
the people of the state. upon the inno-
cent more severely than the guilty I
felt that 1 must assert my love and
gratitude to the state, even though my
warning should lead to my own de-
StructiOn by these autocrats. If there
had been one desire in my heart to eff
fect conjunction with this church
monarchy. if 1 had been willing to re-
tain office as its gift, ] would not have
taken this step; for / know its conse-
quence. 1 began in that hour my effort
TO restore to the people of Utah the
safety and the political freedom which
were their right, and 1 shall continue
II while L live, until the fight is won.
The disdain with which that mes
sage was received was final proof OF
the contempt in which that church
monarchy holds the senate and the
people Of the United States and of the
disregard in which the church mon
archy holds the pledges which it made
in order to obtain the power of state
hood.

Briefly reviewing the matters
which have offered here, and the log
ical deductions therefrom. 1 maintain
the following propositions:
I'VE set aside the religion Of the
Mormon people as sacred from assault.
Outside of religion the MOrmons as
a community are ruled by a special
privileged class. constituting what 1
call the church monarchy.
This monarchy pledged the country
that there would be no more violations
of law and no more defiance of the
sentiment of the United States regard
ing polygamy and the plural marriage
relation.
This monarchy pledged the United
States that il would rerr,.sn from con

affairs.
Every member of this monarchy is

since (as shown in the cases OF the
deposeS apostle. Moses Thatcher. and
others) the man who is not IN accord
with the system is dropped from the
ruling class.

This monarchy monopolizes the
business of one commonwealth and is
rapidly reaching into others.

those who had formerly violated the
law, and for whose obedience to law the
church monarchy pledged the 1aith and

was made repeatedly, as stated in an
earlier part of these remarks. that all
of the Mormon people would come with

Witnesses Declare Trouble With ward Co. Instlgated by Rival Bus mess HOuses-NO PrOs-

Chicago, June 16.-Although rumors of sensations with the teamsters strike are flying thick and fast today there was little tangible evidence to support them. Assistant States Attorney Fake declared today that the evidence given before the grand jury yesterday was of so startling a character that 1t could be only paralleled once in a thousand years. The testimony today. he said. maintained the interest created by the evidence of yesterday.
 It is unofficially declared that the grand jury today devoted most of its time to listening to the statements of against Montgomery Ward and Com pany was instigated by rival business houses.
 States Attorney Healey said tonight that the investigation has assumed a scope so extensive that the full ses- sion of the present grand jury which is to continue for the next two weeks will probably be finished before the in quiry is concluded and that a special grand jury will be necessary to dispose of the routine cases now pending
 The strike today was almost dor mant. But for the sight of the police men and deputy sheriffs riding on de- livery wagons there would be no evil dence whatever that a strike was in progress. The business houses and eX- press companies have reached almost a normal stage in their deliveries
 There is no present prospect of peace
 Further evidence that interest in the teamsters strike Is relaxing on both sides is furnished by the announcement that only three meetings each week will be held by the teamsters joint council.
 Heated debate is expected at the meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor Sunday, when the dispute be- tween the teamsters and the building trades is presented for consideration It is reported that some of the dele gates to the federation will protest against a continuance of the strike

Washington, June 16.-The President has appointed committee of hve 10 | report to him on improved methods or | doing the public business in the vari- ous bureaus and departments.
 The scope and character of the work expected of the committee IS indicated in the following letter addressed to Charles Fl.

In making this in- vestiRation I would like you to have in view the securing of an improve ment in business methods, particular ly among the following:
 '.In the preparation of decisions for ministerial approval. expert knowledge of actual conditions affecting or af- fected by such decision. should govern as distinguished from knowledge of the record alone; salaries should be commensurate with the character and market value of the service performed and uniform for similar service In all departments: government supplies, ex- cept such as are required to meet emergencies or for immediate use in I.A ofa Ao ordf nd Durchased through a central purchas- ing office It Is the duty of the ac- counting and auditing officers to fa- cilitate executive work. Fiscal re- strictions or regulations should not interfere with executive discretion, should be uniform and should be as few and simple as Is consistent with accuracy and safety. Systems of book keeping and accounting should conform to the most approved modern business methods.
 'The existence of any method or standard. custom or practice. is no reason for it's continuance when bet ter is offered.
 "The comparative cost of all work for which cost keeping Is possible should be ascertained as between off, cers and departments and as between the government and private enter prise and should be followed by the adoption of standards of cost.
