more the murderers than those who
commit murder in their hearts by
writing, preaching and drawing pic
lures"
Of course in this the speaker was
CHASING Joseph F. Smith as a martyr
II abuse with Lincoln. Garfield and
Mckinley. The application was so
plain that it was not lost on anyone
i'm the congregation. Then the politics
followed. The speaker told how Presi-
dent Roosevelt was surrounded by Sc
cret service men as he goes about over
the country.
rs this because President Roosevelt
is a coward" Apostle Smith demanded.
NO. he answered himself. The hero
Of San Juan Hill is not a coward. The
man who could stand out boldly, sin
gle handed and alone and defy the cor
porations and the trusts is not a cow
ard. He is a brave man and yet these
writer's and caTtOOnists depict him as
an emperor as trying TO wear crown,
as an OppresSOr, as a criminal in his
desires. From the platform and the
pulpit they send forth utterances that
make it necessary to o surround the
president with officers. These are the
real criminals in this country When
these men come to be judged they viii
have no doubt Of the truth of hell fire."
Will be True to Teddy.
Evidently Apostle Smith was put
forward to square the church with the
powers at Washington.
In President Roosevelt we have
friend" he announced; land President
Roosevelt has friends among the Lat
ter-day Saints We will be true to
him and true to Old Glory. We are a
true people. We know that President
Roosevelt has the courage of his con-
ViCtiOns; that he will not be Swayed by
prejudice; that he will give us a square
deal, and that we shall come in for our
portion of his square deal policy. He
lis not the weak and vacillating man
who said to our people, Your cause is
just but I can do nothing for you
We Will do all in our power TO Sus-
tain President Roosevelt. We are true
to him and viii demonstrate it in the
future as we proved it in the past"
In closing Apostle Smith took a shot
at the man who has been the leader in
the revolt against the church authOrj-
ties. Let the wolf howl he said; 1T
is comforting too much dignity upon
him 10 call him a wolf; he is only a
penny fee" The congregation gave
evidence of enjoying this to the limit.
President L, w. ShurtIin of the
Weber stake spoke of the condition of
the church work in his jurisdiction as
satisfactory in every way. He said
there was union, love and fellowship
among the brethren, and that they sus-
tanned the authorities. They have full
confidence in their leaders no matter
what the world may say. He was con-
WINGED, he said that Joseph +. Smith
was a prophet of God, inspired to lead
his people.
Jesse n. Smith of the Snowflake
stake spoke at some length giving his
personal religious experiences. he
spoke of his love for the Book of Nor
mon which he considers the greatest
Of all books At the close Of his re-
marks President Smith referred to him
as a modern Nathaniel.
After a solo from John Robinson
President Edward H Snow Of the St
George stake told of his work in south
ern Utah where there is loo miles of
travel, he said, all by team: there are
no railroads and no corporations and
not much OF the worlds wealth. He
said his people had just completed q
500. 600 canal and had undertaken inn
pOrtant reservoir schemes. He said
there was more rain in the last year
than for twenty years before. He said
the saints in his stake were loyal to
the leaders, that none Of the SONS Of
Zion there would tear down the work
of the fathers.
Golden KimbaII Ready to Fight.
Golden KfmbaH demonstrated again
that he les the humOrist among the
higher officials of the church. He spoke
in para bleS, he said and invited auv
who did not understand his parable
to his Office for further information
He said his discourse was not from the
Tribune. His central idea was that a
man should be fitted 10 be an anvil as
well as a hammer before he went to
war: be able to take blows as well as
receive blows He told how his
brother Brigham stirred up the Kim
! ball boys 10 fight 50 as to make them
tough. He said it was right he sun
posed, to endure all things but he did
rrA IN FFrh IN
abuse of every little guttersnipe who
came along and took a notion to kick
and maui Gods people. He thought
the saints had endured about enough
and that it was about time to retaliate.
Joseph Z. Smith, he said restrained
his family or some men in the com
munity void be hOrSewhipped All
that saves them is that the presidents
children obey him. Every man. he in
sisted. who strikes blows should be
good as an anvil as well as Il hammer
He eXtOlied the courage of the prophet
! in giving his life rather than fail in
carrying his message to the people. He
mid the saints must lock horns with
every other church on earth; they must
have backbone. 1t is the people who
do not attend conference and do not
pay tithing who are shaking in their
shoes. They have a right to leave the
church if they desire. The door is wide
/ open.
But" he said. eff YOU want to 60 to
he'll, black your boots and go to hell
like gentleman. Don't go like a
traitor. You have a right to leave the
church; but you have no right to be "A
| traitor to your people. There have been
/ traitors in the church from the begin
! ming. 1t ia time for the towards to get
into the background. Every man who
I remains in the church is to be
tested"
Mr.. KfmbaH took shot at the
