. VIZ religious men and women whom
oholl designate as knockers" would
.,o o n think they will find that Mr..
Smoot has a perfect legal right to
no United States senator. The con-
stimtion of the United States wisely
rrovides for such cases and distinctly
says that. mo religious test shall be
reauired as a qualification to any Of
fee or public truth in the United
States"
II seems to me that any person who
tries to debar any one from holding
public office in the United States on
account of religious belief, is traitor
to the constitution. We never heard
a protest from these knockers when
Thomas Kearns was elected to the
United States senate. Let us compare
Senator Smoot and Senator Kearns
and see how inconsistent religious
knockers can be. Mr.. Smoot is a
Mormon and subscribes to the follow
ing: I'VE believe in being subject to
kings, presidents, rulers and magis-
trates, in obeying, honorlng and sus-
tanning the law" Mr.. Kearns is Ro-
man Catholic and believes that THE
Pope is the Invaluable head of the in
infallible church, a vicegerent of God,
is king above all things and ruler of
all nations" On page 116, verse 6,
in the Presbyterian confession or faith
will be found There is no other
head of the church but the LORD Je-
sus Christ, nor can the Pope of Rome
in any sense be head thereof, but is
that Anti-Christ, that man of sin and
son of perdition that eXalteth himself
in the church against Christ and all
that is called of God"
Yet Brother Wishard the great head
OF the Presbyterian church in Utah
and Idaho, was so inconsistent that
ne sat in the Grand theatre ana
cheered to the echo a hireling of
hearns, a follower of the Pope of
rome just because he was injuring
