MIR. ROGERS SUBDUED.

When Mr. Henry H Rogers, Vice
president OF the Standard OIL company,
was on the stand some time ago. In
the suits instituted by the State of Mis-
souri,. he thought II was great joke.
His answers were fiippant, evasive
ccntemptuous. He didn't think that
Missouri had any right to inquire into
the Standard oil company's business In
that State, and he made no bones of
letting that be fully understood He
retired from The stand apparently tri-
umphant as there seemed at that time
no means OF compelling his answers
the idea being that he could protect his
company through his own personal
privilege.
But there has been a decision Of the
u. S. Supreme Court lin the paper

the individual in such cases. but holds

FASHIONABLE MALIGNING.

Il know 1t is fashionable for men to
Inalign us" So preached Hon, Rich
ard W. Young in the chapel of the
Brigham Young college at Logan one
day last week. And to this astound
ing statement, President Young added.
But. thank God. it is falsely that they
do So
The naturally judicial temperament
and the soldierly devotion to truth
which have heretofore been ascribed to
Maj Young seem to have taken a
vacation about the time OF his delivery
OF that sermon. What possible evil
dence can Mr.. Young adduce that 1t is
fashionable to malign the Mormon peo-
ple7 Take Utah, for instance, and Idaho,
even; and the fashion has been to at
tribute to the Mormons all the virtues
which they possessed and to reward
them according to their own estimate
OF virtuous deserving. 1t has not been
fashionable. so far as we have been
able to observe, throughout the United
States for people to malign the Nor
mons. on the contrary. the Nation and
the people have both accorded full
measure of praise and substantial re-
turns TO the Mormons for all their high
qualities and all their cstimable do
ings.
The most serious accusations which
have been made against the MormonS
are those which are directed at the
church upon the testimony OF the men
who control the church. Does Maj.
Young think that it is maliGning Nor
monism to quote the testimony of its
prophets? Is it speaking falsely OF the
church to say of it what Its seers and
revelators say? The day when any
opponent OF the Mormon church has
need TO offer his own augmentation
as proof against the church has
passed away. Nothing that could
otherwise be devised Is as serious an
arraignment as the language and the
confessed action OF Joseph F. Smith.
the president and his compeers, They
testified nagrantly that they broke the
laws and most recklessly ignored the
revelations of God.
VIII President Richard w, Young
kindly inform n waiting world how 1t
is possible to mallgn or speak falsely
10 the disadvantage OF church whose
leaders swear that they violate the
laws Of heaven and earth and intend to
continue I'm this criminal course?
Does it not impress an educated gen
tleman like Mr.. Young that he Is max
ing one OF the cheapest and most des-
pcable gallery plays ever witnessed
when he tells an ignorant lot of peo-
pie that their church is being accused
falsely the only charges brought
against 1t being the quoted words and
the confessed deeds of its prophets?
President Young, what would you
think of a Christian who said that II
was maligning the followers or the

THE SMOOT CASE.

The Smoot case reopens in Washing

proceed as scheduled. There is not

was to call TO Washington to refute

dwindled to n half-dozen or So and
these will not be able to do Smoot much
good.
President Binford of the r. Y, College
| at Logan Will as far as he can, con-
tradict Prof. Wolfes testimony. but II
is quite within the limits that he may
| be asked a question or two that Will
make him scramble for the tules.
Apostle John Henry Smith was re-
lied upon to contradict Professor
wolfe's testimony with respect to the
manifesto, where Wolfe ewore that
Smith informed him that the manifesto
was merely a dodge ito beat the devil
at his own game" But Professor
Wolfes evidence on the point was SO
positive and so much In detail. SO vivid
mere general denial viii hardly affect
that evidence very much; especially
with the frightful record which the
high Mormon officials have made on
the witness stand in this case, with
their defiant proclamation that they are
living and mean to continue to live,
lives In defiance of the laws OF God
and OF man. Besides. the apostle will
probably not be there a all, which will
be quite as we'll for Smoot as we'll as
for himself.
Apostle Smoot has been extremely
anxious to switch this inquiry into his
case off into some channel that he
could block. II he is in polygamy at
all. 1t is In some form that would
amount to nothing, as being sealed"
10 a dead woman, or else he has the
matter so we'll covered up that the
facts are impossible to get at. And
yet. II has apparently been his desire
all along to have those who wish to
have him unseated, take up some such
story as the Rose Hamilton case, and
pin their trust to IT, But the case
against him is made on other lines. and
that inviting chute which he obligiugly
holds open, Is not entered upon. He Is
objected to because as n high church
official he represents his church In the
Senate, not the people, and the domi-
nance Of that church in political and
civil affairs and because he has taken
an oath of fealty to an Organization
which claims to be the only rightful
civil government on earth, and which
Is in reasonable antagonism TO the
Government OF the United States.
That is the issue in his case. and
that Is the Issue which Will be decided.
When the committee makes its report,
the consideration OF the case Will be
one Of the highest privilege. and will
be kept before the Senate, to the exclu-
sion of all other business until 1t is
decided
