nails of the Mormon beast and keep
them so"
Here is another in italics by the
same writer: I'm the opinion of close
observers never was the practice of
polygamy more general in this city
(Salt Lake City, and throughout the
state than it is today" Here is still
another falsehood in the Christian
Herald of November Is: Senator
Smoot is an apostle of the Mormon
church, sworn by secret oath that
compels him to give his first duty and
service to the interest of the hierar-
chy."
l have read every detail of the
Smoot investigation and l never saw
any testimony like the above quota
ton. Will some one tell me on what
page / will find it? Here is another
quotation from the Christian Herald
of November 1. 1t is signed by Mrs.
Frederic Schoff, who has predicted
Frank Cannon's untimely end. She
says: THE absolute domination over
civil, social, political and family life
by the hierarchy, which claims divine
revelation for all it does, has made
of Utah a monarchy more absolute
than any in the world. This monarchy
is antagonistic to the government. The
low moral tone of society is evident
where vice is taught as virtue, and
suffering, deluded girls are made to
believe themselves wives; where chill
dren today are coming into the world
to bear forever the stain of illegiti-
macy. and where women from every
part of this and other lands are being
enticed to the Mormon ranks, knowing
nothing until too late of the polyga-
nous side of it. Let the light shine in.
Evil shrinks and withers in the broad
light of day. Let all the facts be re-
vealed and let every woman and every
true man who respects the mother
who bore him join in removing from
this great country plague spot which
is a disgrace and menace to every
home"
The above is a long quotation from
this very active queen of slanderers.
Read it over again carefully and see
if you can imagine more diabolical
SANDER or anything that could injure
Utah more. Is Utah an absolute mon
archy? Is society in Utah of low
moral tone? Are women today being
forced into polygamy? The CONNER
cial club, the Real Estate association
and the progressive men of Utah Will
first have to close the mouths of these
religious and other slanderers before
they can induce settlers and capital
lists into our beautiful state. Here is
another from Mrs. Schoff in the Chris
tian Herald: Senator Kearns has
generously placed 100000 more copies
of his Senate anti-Utah speech at the
service of the National league" Here
is another: THE National league has
secured the valuable services of Hon.
Frank ]. Cannon, of Salt Lake City,
and has arranged to have him speak
in some of the eastern cities during
October and November Senator Can
non was born of Mormon parents, but
hated its law-breaking course and was
by the Mormon HE
rarchy because he dared to speak out
against their wrong-doing." In every
COPY of the Christian Herald is an ap-
peal for money. What are they going
to do with it and all the money that
has been collected? The Smoot trial
is over and in the hands of the jury
or committee. Are they going to try
and bride the Senate to vote against
Senator Smoot? If Utah did not have
the best people, the best schools, the
best soil and the best climate In the
world. she could not bear up under
