oath as senator swears to sustain. Iney
also urge that in the endowment house
ceremony, through which Smoot mas
gone a number of times. each member
present prays the Almighty to avenge
the blood of the prophet Joseph Smith
upon the nations. 1t Is argued that
man who takes such an oath as this
cannot consistently serve in position
of high responsibility In the national
government.
Testimony has been given against
the Mormons of Utah during the pres
ent session of congress not only by
gentiles and former Mormons, but by
members of the sect which claims to be
the original and true Mormon churcn.
The headquarters of the sect Is Lamo-
nj. Ia, and It Il there that its presi-
dent, Joseph Smith, resides. He Is said
to be the eldest son Of the Joseph Smith
who originated MorInonism and claims
to be the latter's legitimate ecclesiastic-
al successor. He is now seventy-two
years old. The quarrel between these
back many years and has to do with
incidents connected with the stormy
experiences of the Latter Day Saints
In Illinois In the early part Of the last
century. The sect which has its head
quarters In Iowa terms itself ''The
Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ OF
Latter Day Saints" and Its members
do not call themselves Mormons. They
do not practice polygamy and have
sent missionaries to Utah to preach
against the doctrine. According to the
testimony of one of these men, Elder
z. G. Briggs, he had to call for the
laws protection against Salt Lake City
Mormons when he undertook to de-
nounce the institution of polygamy,
circumstance which, it Is alleged, indi-
Gated approval of the doctrine by the
Mormon leaders In Utah. President
Smith and other officers Of the so called
Original or reformed branch of the
Latter Day Saints gave important tes-
timony against the Utah Mormons be-
fore the senate committee.
Other important witnesses were
Charles A. Smurthwaite of Ogden,
Utah, a director of the Beck Salt
works, who became an apostate be-
cause he was driven out of business by
the apostles trust" and Professor
Walter N. Wolfe, former teacher Of
geology in Brigham Young's college at
Logan, who was communicated be-
cause he did not pay his tithes and
also. as the witness claimed, because
he opposed polygamy. Mr.. Smurth-
waite alleged that an additional cause
for his apostasy was a falling out he
| had with President Joseph +. Smith.
This was due to the fact that he sus-
| pected that grating was going on
among the apostles and asked them to
make an accounting of funds in their
possession, a request which was re-
| fused.

wTis Just three years since the SEN
ate committee on privileges and
elections took up the question OF
the right of Reed Smoot Of Utah
to occupy a seat In the upper branch
of congress. All this time the inquiry
has been in progress at intervals. and
the country is expecting a report on
the subject before the close of the pres
ent session. The chairman of the COM
mittee, Senator Burrows of Michigan,
says he will insist that a report be
made before the members of congress
again go to their homes and the wheels
of legislation again cease to grind. In
the course of the investigation many
interesting and startling facts have
been elected about Mormonism and the

by the Platform of the Silver party in
1894 and 1896, instructed to vote against
any funding bill, instructed to vote
against any extension of the Central
Pacific debt or any diminution of its
interest, proved recreant to that in-
struction, and faithless to his party and
to the people of this State-l ask
whether the pledge in the existing
platform of 1898 will be observed by
him? If he is false in one thing will he
not be false in another; and will he
not go back to the Senate of the United
