who, while in congress, had more than
once strenuously opposed the seating of
Mormons in congress. He has since been
appointed to the federal bench. AT this

Serious Accusations.
AS the case now stands, two men pre-
viously in good standing in the church
have made serious accusations against
Mr.. Smith.
He has been charged with taking the
none paid as an offering to the Lord"
and using it for speculations to build up
his own private wealth.
He has been charged with taking the
bodies of the daughters of his subjects

Ionged to the widow and orphan and

Salt Lake City.-A monarchy within
a republic with Joseph f. Smith, presl-
dent of the Mormon church, as the arch
ruler. Such is the condition at present
in Utah. according to those who are
waging war on the Mormon leader and
who are attempting to displace him
from his high seat.
Charges have been made that Smith
has diverted the flow of tithes ron the
Golfers of the church to his own peck
cts: that he has commanded his follow
ers to invest their money in enterprises
under his control so that he may enrich
his private purse, and that he has COM
mitted other transgressiOns too numer-
Gus to mention.
And the authors of these accusations
are from within the sacred councils of
the temple, and until their eXcommuni-
cation for their disloyalty to their lead
er. ranked high in church affairs.
But firmly entrenched behind the walls
of the tabernacle the alleged king is bid
ding defiance to his enemies both With
in and without the state.
Origin of the Trouble.
The election of Reed SmoOt to the
United States senate may be said to be
the beginning of the trouble. Before
the time arrived for the apostle Of the

the church felt constrained, on March
10 last, to explain to the members OF
his flock that he had testified to an I'M
truth in Washington, the reason for it
being that the senators. whom he desig-
mated as his "inquisitors, were trying
to lead him into a trap" Instead OF
ouieting the incipient rebellion against
him, this admitted untruth a only IN
creased the dissatisfaction.
On top of his admission his chief
m~outhpiece, Apostle c. w. Penrose, has
been shown by parallel statements made
under oath also to have been guilty OF
telling an untruth. Penrose, who is a
polygamist, has made various conflict
ing statements under oath as to his
marital relations.
All these things are going on within
the church, while from without come
other attacks which are worrying the
leaders. The war is going on in politics
and finance, and in these fields Of prac-
teal effort on the part of the Mormon
hierarchy lie their most vulnerable
points.
In the field of finance, it is alleged, an
effort was made to execute a grab" OF
a franchise for nearly a century for light
and street railway privileges in SaltLake
City. The action aroused such opposi-
ton that the prime movers did not dare
to carry out their original intentions.
At the same time, although no election
is imminent at present, the growth OF

Mormon church to take his seat among
the country's lawmakers, a popular
wall arose throughout the country that
he should be barred from that body.
There were those Of the apostles that OPP
posed the mixing of church with politics
and f"orecasted the opposition that would
arise from his election, but Smith was
favorable to Shoots candidacy and, as
is we'll known, he was easily elected.
When the committee was appointed by
the senate to investigate the charges or
Mormonism preferred against the new
NEGLECTED senator, many churchmen
in high standing were called to Wash
fngton to testify, and among others was
President Smith. The general trend OF
the testimony presented showed that al
though polygamous cohabitation had
been abolished as a rule, those of the
mormon faith were still ruled by the law
of the church, rather than by the law
of the land, or in other words, that the
law of the church is supreme.
Smith a Confessed Perjurer.
II was only after the passage of the
Edmund's law that Utah was admitted
into the union as a state. Under this law
which was subscribed to by President
Smiht and the apostles of the Mormon
church. plural marriages and polyga
mons cohbaitation were forbidden. Blu
on ina stari before the senate commit

This is a story Of a weather almanac

Press. While recently visiting a Jersey
town he went into a store to buy a cigar.
He made his purchase and was about to
leave the store when the proprietor re-
marked:

expression on her face compounded OF
fright and determination, relates
Youths Companion.
Gould I ride up high as you go?"
she asked, in a husky voice.
Sure, RESTRAINT top ioOI," said the
elevator man, and after facilitating her
entrance with a judicious shove, he
slammed the door and started his car.
At the top floor he flung open the
door and attempted to assist his pas

and shook her head with great jeci-
sion.

Goaded into anger by these attacks,
President Smith has sought to retallate
by communicating persons who might
question his acts.
Already former Senator Frank j. Can
non son of President George Q. Can

of the Mormon church, has been cut off
for daring to express opinions in criti-

Charles A. Smurthwaite, n of the
leading business men of Utah, a high
! priest in the church and a man whose
| character has been above reproach, has
been disfellowshipped for charging
President Smith with bad faith and de-
handing an accounting of the church
funds.
He is fighting the proceedings against
him, maintaining that, If given an op-
~portunity. he will prove every statement
he has made against the president OF tbs

Furthermore, he has put to a test the
