THOSE WE'RE BRAVE WORDS.

II In the future the time should ever
come that the high offices of the church
should fall into the hands of corrupt and
to see the Saints. true to their sublime
faith. arise under the power OF the living
God and by the means appointed in the
church, reject such men,-President Brig
ham II. Roberts, January 6. 1887.
Those were brave words spoken then
at a time when B II. Roberts had a
personal ambition OF his own. which
later was gratified by his election TO
the House of Representatives
Today. when the situation which
President Roberts describes yawns in
the pathway OF the Mormon conf
munlty, President Roberts, with no
personal ambition except within the
church and it's multiplied marital priv
ileges, supinely submits to tyranny
over all the people-to the rule OF cor
rupt and designing men He who
could not bear the loss of one scintiIla
of his own supposed personal right and
Experimentation raising a storm
In every hamlet i'm Utah-can witness
the general oppression, can View the
SubJuGauon or the mass ana the up
rearing of class, with perfect equa-
nimity.
They were brave words then. and one
may well believe that b. II Roberts
in uttering them intended to hint that
the way was open 10 his people to
avenGe his wrong. 10 advance him to
fruition Of his hopes In politics.
despite the Inhibition by his superior
hierarchs II only such man as Rob
erts would now specialize such senti-
uation If only he would lead the way
with a zeal In behalf of his people like
unto the zeal which he showed In his
own favor, there might be something
doing in Zion.

APPRECIATED IN TEXAS.

The Deseret News has an editorial
It's costly, space under the title, Reed
Smoot Appreciated" With an unusual
persplcacity and an involuntary logic
the church organ locates the scenes OF
appreciation far beyond the confines OF
Utah. One place is in Texas and one
Is In the office of newspaper which
has just issued it's first number In
Washington, d. c.
Comment upon the appreciation
shown in that Washington editorial
room Is as unnecessary as 1t would be
cruel-when one considers that of all
the subjects which a new journal would
desire to treat through its counting
house or Its news rooms this particular
paper In its first issue effusiyely de-
votes itself to Smoot.
But the hysterical tribute In Texas to
Smoot deserves more attention. 1t was
delivered at a meeting Of the Wonlen's s
Auxiliary to the Texas Association Of
Mexican War Veterans, at Dallas. A
lady who had received a letter from
Reed Smoot made this fervent declara
tion:

of the United States in behalf of the

The rhapsodical Texas lady is more

which privately and personally they

stranger yet that, while making their
public protests, they Will so frame them

In Utah an extraordinary portion or the
taxes Of the state go to assist the cause
of education. In Cache county more than
half the taxes are used for educational
purposes.
Now, first OF all The Tribune's COM
ment was based upon the remarks In

education for the masses, and The

this is, Of course, that the hierarchy

that II they were opposed to education

Last year the Civic Improvement

could they established vegetable gar
dens, tended by boys. and gave the
products TO the poor The owners
were glad TO give the use Of the lots

get the use of them. The plan was so

HYsTERIA AND IGNORANCE.

Has il ever occurred to those who so
Historically demand that Senator Smoot
of Utah be expelled or excluded from
the Senate because ho is a Mormon. that
they might be wrong, or that there were
at least two sides 10 the question?
The foregoing is from the Kansas
City Post
Has II ever occurred to those who so
ignorantly deny that Senator Smoot Of
Utah should be expelled or excluded
from the Senate, that opposition TO him
is not because he is a Mormon, but
because he is practicer and a teacher
of treason to this country?
Reed Smoot is a Mormon. but he Is not
enough of a religious Mormon to make
opposition to him on that ground worth
while. even If Mormons and Mormon
ism were Objectionable in Congress, as
they are not Utah has been repre-

tered upon her Statehood, and no op-

his membership in the community
even II he had no faith in the so-called
religion.
The argument OF the Kansas City
Post is as silly as if man. proved to

Ing 10 do with the case. The Kansas
City Post may scan the entire protest
against Reed Smoot, and all the testi-
mony which has been adduced against
him, and nowhere Will it discover on
the part OF the protcstants or their
sympathizers, any attack upon Reed
Shoots seat on account OF his being
Mormon. No one cares whether he
is Mormon. as Mormons believe him
TO be, or whether he Ia only a pre-
tended Mormon. as some of his Gentle
hackers believe him to be,
Reed Smoot is d political emissary
and representative OF an alien king,
ruling over a body of people within
this Republic OF the United States-a
king who refuses TO obey the civil law.
king who holds that his right TO rule
mankind is a divine prerogative, king
who teaches that our National Gov

The only figure that Reed Smoot's pre-
tended religion cuts in this affair Is
that he uses IT as protection under
which he may do what a man. not

mitted TO do.
So far az the remarks OF the Kansas

facts. they are merely an assumption
