TAkE THEM AT THEIR WORD.

The following from the Manti Mes
senger fits in so perfectly with our
own view of the Mormon question"
that we present the article without
comment. The Messenger says:
The political turmoil over the Nor
mon question is giving many good
people some anxiety about its solution.
The present movement against the
Mormon problem led by Frank j Can
non, Thomas kcarns, Fred Dubois and
others both in and out OF Utah, is
thought by some TO be merely a means
Of accomplishing the political aggran-
disement Of those leaders. Those gen.
tlemen are loud in their protest
against such an idea and claim that
their only purpose is to rid Utah of
the domination of the Mormon
church"
The other side, represented by the
high officers Of the dominant church,
declares that the priesthood has no
desire to interfere with the politics of
its members, and proclaims that they
are free to vote as their individual
preferences may dictate.
The Messenger thinks there need be
no further turmoil over this matter.
Both sides seem TO agree IN purpose.
Why not take them at their word"
II the declaration of the church lead
erS are sincere and where is the Nor.
mon or Gentle who wishes to stigma
tie their word by attributing decep.
ton, why not let every voter act upon
1t, and give the church that square
deaf that every American institution
is entitled TO. That is all that the op-
position asks. II is not necessary
either TO return Tom KearnS or Frank
j. Cannon to power to demonstrate the
settlement of the veXed question. No
one wants the old kearns machine put
in operation in Utah, Nothing could
be more obnoxious. Even Cannon and
Goodwin fought that thing. The ones
who now are crying against machine
politics supported it.
The whole trouble at present seems
to be that the leaders of the alleged
opposition to the Mormon priesthood,

nominal purpose of their movement. |
We cannot see any harm that would |
come TO anyone by taking them at
their wordn-all OF them.
