rs THIS TREASON 7"

"Treason!" They are endeaYoring TO
lnflame the minds of American people
with the notion that the "Mormons'
are imbued with hatred against the
government Of the United states, are
guilty OF reasonable acts and senti-
ments and are teaching treason to
their children. A Chicago paper,
which now lies before US, contains ex-
cerpts from Mormon" hymns, which
II constructs as Unreasonable" and IN
its zeal in that direction becomes posi-
lively absurd, It has a big page head
line: "Mormons Sing Treason Songs In
their Chicago Churohes;" also, Chill
dren Learn In Sunday School to Hate
United States" and further, "Ven-
geance for Brigham YOung's Death
Kept Alive by Religious Services"
The dense ignorance displayed IN
the entire article, which Is illustrated,
may be perceived by the headlines we

geance" for Brigham Young's death?
The writer OF the nonsense does not

bed, and that no blame was ever at.

Is not that terrible strain TO be

enough to make a Chicago newspaper
