President Roosevelt some years ago

EXTREMES OF SENTIMENT.

Sentiment is not all one way In the
national divorce conference at Wash

which does not recognize divorce, re-
fuses to take part in II. as we'll as
South Dakota, points out the extremes
between which II Is sought to find rea-
sonable middle ground. The fact that
the minority opposed TO prevention Of
what is called migratory divorce was
led by woman preacher points out
powerful, though silent, interest that
will have to be considered In any gen

The principal cause of the failure to
convert intelligent people is also the
| principal cause OF the wretched condi-
tlon OF the Mormon church In It's rela
tion TO the laws and civilization of the
| United States.
| The Mormon church today is gov
crned by ignorance. lawbreaking and
| treason The man who poses as chief
| prophet has his mind set upon earthly
| things; he wants wealth from the toll
ers: n insists upon retaining many
wives in defiance of his solemn cove
nant to God and man; he exacts adora-
ton from his following, and brooks
neither question nor criticism,
Under these circumstances it is not
surprising that earnest, Intelligent. edu-
Gated and law-abIdng people should
not be attracted to his church.
Besides, the quorum of the apostles
is largely mlthough not entirely made
up OF medlocritys Instead of a strong
and able man like Brigham II Roberts
who, despite his peculiaritles. is head
and shoulders above the commonplace
Joseph +. Smith selects his impudent
and ignorant son. Instead OF a cultured
man like Bishop Whitncy-who, despite
his former participation In lawbreak-
ing, has many fine qualties-Joseph f,
Smith selects another Smith. Instead
of brave truth-teller like J. Golden
kimball-who despite his fanaticism,
is n big, strong, straightforward man
JOSEPH F. Smith selects a nauseating
falSi1er like Penrose
When one examines the pretensions
OF the Mormon hierarchy and contrasts
Herewith the practices OF the hierarchy,
II Is impossible To conceive that any
conscientious. pious and well-infomed
person can possibly accept the pre-
tended gospel. and 1t is impossible TO
conceive that any one OF such class,
having accepted It and having the
courage Of truth. can remain In affila-
tlon with the lawbreaking. fraudulent,
grating and brutal concern.
Where other churches are making
their headway among the choicest
spirits Of the earth, the Mormon Smith
Ism and Smootism must be carried for
ward among the people who can be
easily duped. and who can be compelled
to remain In ignorance and serfdom
after thcy are allied with the church.

And what is true OF hierarchical con-

equally true OF its misuse OF the or

OF the immortal Jefferson; they view

Democratic party TO serve the common
people Of the country. they VIII only
care 10 abuse its name as they have
abused the name OF the Republican
party TO crafty their own nefarlous
