Mr.. Peet frankly acknowledges that
he is a railroad man DESTROYS Of sell
ing land in Utah, and he pitched into
the clergy because they have misrep-
resented the state and kept immi-
grants out. Mr.. Schroeder has not
seen fit to take the public into his
confidence to the extent of informing
them that he was retained by the
Ministerial association to keep Con-
gresham Roberts from taking his
seat, which in no wise reflects upon
him, as he is equally opposed to Nor
monism and polygamy, and as an at
torney is at liberty to take any case
he pleases.
Lord and good devil as between the
two Christian sects, and condemna-
ton of each. We are opposed to them
both. One is equally superstitious
with the other. They have the same
basis. If the Mormon Congressman
Roberts had plural wives, many of the
Christian congressman have plural
mistresses. Senator Smoot is as vir-
tucus as any other senator Mormon
| ism is as consistent with Americanlsm
as Catholicism, and yet there is no cry
against Roman Catholic legislators
and Office holders.

odist. For this he has good authority,
as Mr. Peet so announces himself in
his pamphlet. We fancy however
that he does it with his tongue in his
cheek, for in letter from Mr.. A. Mil.

the Truth Seeker to be worked by a

worked against Roberts for nothing
we think the salary question should
be ignored. We plead guilty to the
charge of being worked We car

risy and hypocrites. The cry against
Smoot is pure hypocrisy, and the per

The following from the Truth Seek

fully commended to the attention Of
ex-senator Frank j. Cannon.
Baroness Zedwitz, who created an
international sensation year ago
when she and her sister, the Marquise
de Monitors, renounced the Roman
Catholic faith, is back in Peoria, her
former home, seeking reconciliation

mind of the baroness is affected, and
that she may be ignored by the Cath

A. T. Schroeder, an extensively
avowed Atheist, our own A. T., who
occupied most of the ten years of his
residence in Salt Lake in fighting the
churches, and saying all the mean
things he could think of about the
preachers, in wounding the sensibili-
ties of religious people by brutal eX-
pressions regarding things which
Christians hold as sacred, is now mas
querading as the defender of the
preachers. In the Truth Seeker, d
free thought and Agnostic paper pub
lished in New York, an article ap-
peared on December %, over his sig
nature, lauding the preachers and
Safeguarding the Mormons. The ar
ticle is remarkable for its distortation
of facts and is intended as reply to
a pamphlet published by V. S. Peet.
It's too long and too stupid for Truth
to reproduce, but an editorial refer
ence to it in the same issue of the

ease out of the country. They de-
termined to start crusade. In all
the seaports and larger cities boun-
ties were offered for each rat brought

A short time ago inquiry came from
the union forces to know if Mr.. Post
would keep still" if they would cab
off the boycott on Postum and Grape
Nuts.
This is the reply: The labor trust
has seen fit TO try to ruin our business
because we would not join its criminal
conspiracy. We are plain American
citizens and differ from the labor
union plan in that we do not force
people to strike, picket, boycott. as
sault, blow up property or commit
murder.
We do not pay thugs $50 to break in
the ribs of any man who tries to sup
port his family nor $50 for an eye
knocked out
We try to show our plain, honest
regard for sturdy and Independent
worlimen by paying the highest wages
in the state.
We have a steady, unyarying re.
spect for the law-abiding, peaceabla
union man and a most earnest desire
to see him gain power enough to
purge the unions of their criminal
practices, that have brought down upon
them the righteous denunciation of q
long-suffering and outraged public, but
we will not fawn, truckle, bend the
knee, wear the hated collar of white
slavery, the union label. nor prostitute
our American citizenship under or
ders" of any labor trust.
You offer to remove the restriction
on our business and with union" gold
choke the throat and still the voice
raised in stern deuunciation of the
despotism which tramples beneath an
iron-shot heel the freedom of our broth
ers.
You would gag us with silver bar
and mufle the appeal TO the American
people to harliep to the cries for
bread of the little children whose
faithful fathers we're beaten to death
while striving 10 earn food for them.
Your boycott may perhaps succeed
in throwing our people out of work
and driving us from business, but you
cannot wrench from us that priceless
jewel our fathers fought for and which
every true son guards with his life.
Therefore. speaking for our work
people and ourselves. the Infamous
offer is declined"
