HONEST THOMAS WEIR.

The Deseret News has worried itself
good deal because Of its discovery,
real or fancied, that Thomas Weir
American candidate for Congress, is an
elder iu tho Presbyterian church.
It is Just little bit difficult for the
American party to please the organs
of the polygamous and criminal crowd
| that runs the Mormon church affairs in
politics Only few days ago some of
them were charging that all Of the
Americans were depraved-and that
aggravated the apostolic and ecclesias-
teal souls Of the dignitaTies who
wanted monopoly on all the de-
pravity of the world.
Now they are equally excited and
angry because the American party does
not consist OF depraved people, but
contains pillars of churches, for the
apostolic and other controllers OF the
Mormon hiersrchical politics wanted
monopoly on all church titles.
Well. never mind.
When Elder Thomas Weir of the
Presbyterian church gets to the point
that he supports as his coadJutors aud
| fellow-elders in the church men who
live in hagrant higamy and confess
that they are going TO continue the
same: men who bring Llegitimate
children into the world i'll drovcs; men
| who declare that they are prophets,
and because OF this have right TO
defy the law of God; men who say
that they are the holiest in the world,
and therefore have a special privilege
to break the statutes of man; men
who extract ono tenth and then still
another tenth of all the product OF
toll of all the poor of the community
in order to create special prerogatlVes
and privileges for the rich; men who
pass the mantle of churchiy authority
down by hereditary descent lntsead oil
by worth; men who meet IN their
church and concert for the enslave-
ment of q State-then the American
party will not want Thomas Weir for
candidate; for then Elder Thomas
Weir will be like Elder Reed Smoot.
In the meantime Hon, Thomas Weir,
elder in the Presbyterian church, is
perfectly satisfactory. His ecelesiasti-
cism, if be have any, has boen so
unobtrusive that while everybody
knew that he was good man, very
few people knew and nobody cared
how much or how little of the work
of his church he performed, He does
!. al, ~
political campaign; and he does not
mix polygamy with his. professions of
sanctity.
Thomas Weir is good enough for US
brave, clean, honest Thomas Weir;
and not only is he good enough for the
American party, but he is good enough
for the State OF Utah
