The Boise citizen. (Boise, Idaho) 1906-1910, 1907-02-08


1t would be a kingdom and its king
would reside in this city and would be
the same man that testified before the
senate committee that he was living in
defiance of the laws of both God and
man, and had never received a reve-
lation from heaven.
"These facts are as well established
as that fire burns or water runs down
hill.
"And this being the situation the won
der of US in Utah is what charm hangs
around the toga of our senior senator
that makes such solicitude for him from
the president OF the United States down
through the senate, in the souls of great
professors, in the pages of great mag
azines and in the columns of great pub
lie journals.
I'm Washington it is political; outside
we canont fathom the reasons save that
men without understanding the facts,
permit their sympathies to be imposed
upon.
at is in the power Of congress to quiet
matters in Utah in a day And to do
so it would only have to demand of
the Mormon chiefs and people that they
shall come in under the laws or have
their political privileges taken away
"And such an insistance would bring
joy unspeakable to ninety-fve out Of
every hundred Mormons in the world,
for they feel that it is right that they
should be treated as aliens so long as
in the political government of this
country, they have to look to power
for guidance which claims a higher
right to rule than that which belongs
to the president, congress and the su-
preme court of the United States They
deplore the constant agitation and know
that there is but one way to settle it
and that is through obedience to the
laws.
Joseph F. Smith was fugitive from
justice when the amnesty proclamation
of President Harrison was issued But
the condition of that amnesty and also
that of President Cleveland was that
he, and all men involved as he was,
should come in under the laws. Why is
he not still a fugitive from justice? On
the other hand we hear him testifying
before a senate committee that he is still
living in violation of the laws OF both
God and man and we behold the presi-
dent of the United States and many
figuratively patting him on the
back, though what he claims for him
self is treason to the government OF
the United States. A little bit queer
is it not for men who have sworn
to maintain the constitution and the
laws?
There are nine electoral votes in the
three states OF Utah, Idaho and Wyo
ming. But there are several times nine
in Ohio and Illinois.
would it not be queer if by pander-
i6g to treason to gain nine votes, party
should lose the votes of the two great
states whose people know what Mormon
ism was to their states, and know that
it has not changed in the slightest de-
gree in the sixty years since it was
driven from their midst?

BRYAN ON JEFFERSON
Eloquent Tribute to Founder
Of Democracy

Mr. Bryan's address to the gathering
at the Alta club on Saturday only con-
hrmed and strengthened the regard in
which he is held here both as a citizen
and as political leader, says the Salt
Lake Herald. The fact that he was ad-
dressing people Of varied political beliefs
directed, in a measure, the character of
this theme, but it did not prevent him
from accentuating the problems that lie
before the people or from pointing out
the trend OF the times toward the pri-
mary doctrine Of Democracy, a belief in
the peoples right and ability to rule
themselves.
In wonderfully simple language he
portrayed the radical difference between
the founders of the two great political
parties, Hamilton and Jefferson. He
showed how Hamilton distrusted the
people and proposed to establish checks
on their power, while Jefferson, trusting
the people implicitly, fought for their
prerogatives and fought successfully. No
finer picture of Jefferson's life and work
has been heard than Mr. Bryan's elo-
quent description OF his political creed
and its effect. on human history; and
no more convincing sketch of the con-
trast between the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties could be presented than
this magnificent parallel between the
founders OF the two political organiza-
tions that have persisted since the days
of the fathers.
Mr. Bryan declared that the issue now
is monopoly, though he would not say
that it must necessarily be the issue
in the next presidential campaign. Mo
nopoly, as he views it, embraces all the
evils which the people most abhor; the
iniquities OF an unjust tariff which en-
ables monopoly to exploit the consumer
and extinguish competition; the special
legislative favors which intrench monop-
oily behind political power and rob the
many for the benefit of the monopolistic
few. In this view Mr.. Bryan is only
reiterating what he has said since he
first entered public life, but he says it
now with the added satisfaction OF one
whose prophecies have come true, whose
predictions of evils to be met have been
verified, and whose policy in antagonism
to monopoly of whatever form has been
adopted by his political opponents.
Whether he is again to be the can
didate Of his party for the presidency
or not, Mr. Bryan's power with the
American people is unquestionably great
er than it has ever been. To him
more than to any other one man is due
the public sentiment which has COM
pelled hostile Republican majority in
congress TO concede legislation in the |
interest Of the general public; to him,
more than to any other one man, is due |
the return to the Jeffersonian doctrine
that the people are able to decide for
themselves what form their government /
shall take and what that government |
shall do. No one man in the United .
States today stands more plainly in /
the light as the representative citizen,
able, clear-visioned and .
devoted to the public welfare
