PRoPHETING AND PRoFITINq.

1t Is we'll for the world at large that
John Alexander Dowe did not die in the
height OF his power. The pTetense OF
revelation is the worst OF all possible
frauds. II strikes at the very foundation
Of society. man woman who claims
to have received a revelation from the
which, according to the Bible. awaits the
chief OF sinners. 1t Is not possible that
man OF intelligence can be led into the
belief that the Great Laweiver has cho-
sen him as the medium Of communlca-
tion with his people. No proof can be
given that dreams or visions on which
such claims arc based are even entitled
to consideration. All ages OF mankind
have had their prophets but no prophet
has shown that his power OF prediction
came from a higher source than personal
ambition. But there are minds. not ne
cessarily idottc, which are impressed
with an honest conviction that some par
tlcular prophet has received a mission to
change the laws which have governed
known as Morrnonism shows that both
men and women have sacrificed domestic
happiness in obedience to teachings that
this domestic happiness was founded on
errors of belief. Men have accepted the
plural marriage delusion under the i'm
pulse which leads other men to enter In
men. But there are hundreds of In
stances in which both parties TO a
monogamic union have been led to nc
cept the doctrine of polygamy through
faith in the preacher OF that doctrine No
method OF persuasion would have worked
this change except the positive assertion
that the command came from q divine
| source. The responsibility for this de-
| ception lies with the false prophet, The
| Alexander Dowies. Joe Smiths and Brig
ham Youngs have not deceived them
| selves, but have lied TO their followers.
Dowie accumulated millions before his
| followers saw through his game. If he
had died before his exposure. his career
would have Inspired other false prophets
to palm themselves on as the chosen
speaker OF the Almighty. But .Dowie

THE SMooT CHANGE OF FRONT.

When. at the instance OF the illus
trious Senator from Massachusetts, the
late George Frisbie Hoar. all objections
to the swearing in of Apostle Smoot as
United States Senator were waived. the
sectaries whose representative Smoot
was and IS. breathed a Sigh of relief.
They had feared that Smoot was not
to be allowed In the Senate ut all. In
spite of his certificate Of election. In
calm and moderate statement, Senator
Hoar pointed out that nothing would
be either gained or lost by either side IL
Smoot were allowed to take the oath,
and the Senate at It's convenience could
take up the protest against him and
dispose OF II, just the same as If he had
not been sworn in. On this statement,
the Senate allowed Smoot among fts
membership. and Shoots supporters
were fervent in their admiration OF the
course recommended by Senator Hoar,
and OF the Senate; the thing declded
upon was lauded as the proper and con-
stitutlonal way to proceed, and faVora-
BILE contrasts were made between the
statesmanlike proceedings of the Sen
ate in the Srnoot case and the 'uncon-
stItutional" proceedings Of the House
In refusing to let Roberts In al all.
There was no dissent anywhere from
the proposition that to allow Smoot to
be sworn In did not in any material as
pect of the case change his status, IL
he was disqualified al the first. he
would be no less disqualified at the
last; and so the case has dragged along
TIL now. with that understanding. Mr..
Carlisle in his recent argument was
emphatic on this point.
But now change has come over the
spirit of the Smoot advocates. They In
sist that in order for those who OBJ
ject to Smoot 10 retain the benefit
OF the original status Of their protest
against him. there should have been
objection to his being sworn In; that
after he took the oath as Senator, the
status changed. and Smoot gained a
standing from which he could not be
dslodged except by two-thirds of the
Senators voting against him, whereas
at the first. IL is too evident to need
argument. that a majority of the Sen
ate could permanently have kept him
out That is. the obiectors to Smoot
would have had to resort TO the uncon-
stitutional means OF denying him the
right TO take the oath OF office, in order
to retain their position; that having
conceded Apostle Shoots right to be
sworn in. they forfeited their right to
have a majority of the Senate dispose
Of the case. This position obliges the
Smoot advocates to abandon their po-
sition that 1t Is unconstitutional to re-
fuse a Congressman elect the right to
take the oath OF office; for their con-
tention obliges the protestants TO refuse
this or else lose their rights.
Smoot has no more right now to his
seat than he had when he offered him
self to be sworn In, He has gained
| nothing by the toleration of the Senate
In allowing him to take the oath: his
| status is precisely the same now that II
| was at the first. The cases where the
| House unseats by majority vote, as Mr.
Carlisle pointed out and insisted. are
| directly In point.
The usual bad faith attaches to the

SCHOOL OF FALSEHOOD.

The California Christian Advocate
says: There is probably not group
of people IN the world who have the
training In subtle falsehood and refined
deception that the Mormon leaders
have. [Theyl have been under
a regime of hypocrisy until all distnc-
ton between right and wrong has faded
out"
That Is the gravest charge which can
possibly be brought against any set of
men who stand at the head Of COM
munity life.
Is the accusation true?
II Is not enough to answer that these
are sober men. that in all respects. ex-
cept the one in which they choose to
practice disregard they are obedient
to the moral law; that they do not steal
the property OF their neighbors; that
they abstain from tea and coffee and
tobacco; that they render incessant lip
service to the parsonage whom they caii
God. That aggregation OF claims con-
stItutcs their case. and vet II is also
part of the case for the prosecution
against them before the bar OF public
opinion. II is their assumption that In
their lives are embodied all the virtues,
and that they have special eniight-
enment from heaven which enables
them to discriminate between right and
wrong. coupled with the fact that by
their practice these prophets assume
A. latn az 13u n
morality or Of the statutes as they
choose, which Justify the accusation
that they are accomplished in hypoc-
risy.
It should impress itself upon the av-
erage Mormon that there must be
something wrong with the system of
leadership in his church when. after
seventy-six years OF activity In the
world. conscientious commentators can
speak OF Mormonism as a school of
hypocrisy Nations and communities
become noted for special characteristics.
It Is the fate of the Mormon church,
under the present hierarch, that Its ca
reer is looked upon as an exhibition OF
falsehood in word and act.
Instead OF applying a corrective the
present hierarchs only go from one de-
PRAYED depth of falsehood to another
and greater depth. From the time they
began TO betray the confidence of the
people of the United States-after the
country benignantly accorded sove-
reignty to this commonwealth-unti to-
day, there has been one long horrible
series OF evasions and falsehoods, each
one upon Its exposure making demand
for a new and greater hypocrisy to
cover up. All warnings have seemed to
be wasted. When the hierarchs meet
they do not discuss what is the brave
and straightforward thing to do. but
what the polite thing, the expedient
thing to do-what will palliate or con-
fuse the judgment of the country. In
stead OF clearing up the situation they
merely seek 10 mystify, They meet one
suspicion by arousing n new one. In
the hope that In the multitude Of criti-
cuences.
There is no atonement which can be
made by them to the people Of Utah for
the loss OF fiber in the community life,
AS the leaders practice hypocrisy. so
they are teaching, by example, their
followers to eyade and falslfy. Worse
than the polygamy, worse than the
tithe grating, worse than political tyr
amy, is the system of evasions by
which all these offcnses are protected.

sHRAFsKY ARRESTED.

Is Charged With Attempted Pockets
picking.
The arrest Of an alleged pickpocket,
Morris Shrafsky, a New Yorker, in a
Chapel street dry goods store, coupled
with hot chase for a confederate at
a time when Saturday night shopping
was at it's height, caused some excite
ment,
Shrafsly was grabbed at the door Of
the department store by Edward F..
McSherry, a store detective, who de-
clared that he had seen him put his
hand in the Jacket pocket of Mrs. An
ME Halstrom, of State street, while a
pal attempted to distract the wom-
ans attention by jostling her against
the counter.
McSherry held the man for PATROL
man Wrinn and then gave chase after
the pal" He ran down Chapel street,
but failed to land him. When Mcsher-
ry returned to the store Mrs. Halstrom
was not to be found, but she was locat-
ed in another store later.
! The woman did not wish at first to
press q complaint, but said that she
had felt Shrafsky's hand near her poek-
ct, and that she then took her purse
from her pocket and carried it in her
hand.
Mrs Halstrom accompanied MeSher-
ry, with Policeman Wrinn and his pris-
oner, to headquarters, where ShrafslSy,
protesting innocence. was locked up for
attempted theft.
