Mormon Theory and
practices
Practice

That was an illuminating incident In
the Senate Of the United States
Wednesday, when Senator Sutherland
of Utah asked that a paragraph In tho
new naturalization bill which denied
citizenship to any polygamist or be-
lever in polygamy be changed TO read
ANY polygamist or believer in the prac-
tice OF polyganny." Strange to say, this
quibbling change was made at his re-
quest,
The Mormon immigrant can believe
In poygamy to his hearts content, and
talk about 1t In church If he wants TO,
but he must not believe IN it's practice
if he desires to become an American
citizen, and incidentally keep out OF
jail. This apparently absurd distinc-
tlon raises some Interesting points. In
the first place 1t shows that the Nor
mons are still poIygamists at heart. and
would practice plural marriage II the
civil laws permitted It. Secondly, that
they believe polygamy 20 be an essen
tial part OF their religion, and thirdly,
that they intend TO use The prejudice
In this country against any interference
whatever with mans religious belief
publicly TO retain the polygamous por-
tion OF their creed and possibly to
practice its teachings in secret.
IT Is an interesting question whether
this clause In the naturalization law has
any bearing on Mr.. Smoot's case. It
a man can be a good citizen Of the
United Stntes, although he believes In
polygamy, II he does not believe in the
practice OF ~, IL Is not clear how Mr..
Smoot can logically be expelled from

BELIEF AND PRACTICE.

Senator Sutherland did not fool the
New York Globe very much with his
argument about a difference between
an abstract belief IN polygamy and 4
concrete belief In polygamy. 1t VIII
be remembered that when the immi-
grafton bill was pending the junior
Senator from Utah made quite point
by his amendment to the bill so that
believer in polygamy might enter
the United States. although believer
in the practice OF polygamy would De

which is reproduced this morning

Sutherland in Utah and the peopIo

Sutherland were necessary TO prevent

In reality a man cannot believe III
polygamy without believing in the
practice OF polygamy; not even law

The purpose OF Senator Sutherland.
or at least the purpose which ne
served, was to afford an opportunity
for couivocation. The incoming con-
vert to the Mormon church might be
unwilling to swear that he disbelleVed
In polygamy but under instruction ne
could swear that he did not bel1eNe

in the theory only at New York, all
he would have to do (and one might
remark also that all she would have
TO do) would be to accept conversion
to the practice after reaching Utah or
Idaho or Arizona.
Senator Sutherlands argument IN
this case was of this character:
AZ believe in the law, but not In the
practice OF the law
II believe IN fees. but not In the col
lection of fees
II believe In Senatorship. but rot
in tho holding of Senatorship."

PROSECUTED NOT PERsECUTED

One of the Southern papers. the
Charleston News-Courier, has been
successfully inoculeted for nonsense 1t
has an editorial article on the case of
the Mormon apostle who sits In the
Senate, and open its remarks with the
title: THE Persecution OF Reed
S1noot" It follows that foolish headline
with the statement that "Smoot must
go because his religion does
not suit the petitioners against him
who have misrepresented him
and his conduct" The Charleston
News Courier cannot have read the
protest against the apostle and cannot
have read the testimony adduccd in
his case, or 1t would scarcely care to
commit itself to those startling edito
rial. errors.
Reed Smoot has not been prosecuted
in this affair; nor will there be found
in the original protest against him.
upon which the case was based, or IN
the petitions signed by hundreds Of
thousands of women IN this country,
any Misrepresentation OF his conduct or
speech.
On the other hand, the State of Utah
and all her interests are being perse-
cuted by Smootism. And there has been
an entire Misrepresentation by Smoot
and by his friends Of his responsibility
for the peculiar offenses which charac-
terize the community. for whose ruler
he serves as political minister. He has
been arraigned before the country by
the protestants as an apostle of the
Mormon church. That is the definite

before the country as a citizen Of a

not, The moment Reed Smoot differs
from the governing power Of the Nor
mon church that moment he would
cease to be an apostle in good stand

country has unmistakable evidence Of
his supreme devotion to the un-Amer-
