A GREAT AND GOOD ONE.

! The Descret News says that Joseph
F. Smith is "a great and good man. .
| Webster defines great when ap-
piled to men. partially as follows:
Superior; admirable: commanding,
endowed with extraordinary powers;
uncommonly gifted; noble
And part of the definition given
by that same high authority of ''good y
is as follows; Possessing moral ex.
celIcncc or virtue; kind: benevolent;
humane; merciful: gracious; propitlQus;
friendly; not blemishcd or impeached;
fair: honorable
Does the careful reader detect any
actual description of Joseph +. Smith
IN those quotations from the distin-
gushed photographer!
Let us see wherein, if at all, Smith
is great. He is commonplace TO the
very last degree He has never pre-
sented to the world an original thought.
He is not admirable. His example does
not commend itself TO mankind. His
policies are all narrow and selfish. EX-
cept for the accident by birth-being
named Smith and being a relative Of
the Smith who founded the church,
and except for the accident of Undue
tion into the apostolic quorum-being
selected by Brigham Young in order
TO have one Of the old family of Smiths
with the Brigham Young element of
the church; except for these accidents
he would never have risen above the
VeTiest mediocrity in station. In busi-
ness affairs he has never proposed any
measure of importance; in statesman.
snip he is without perception or pur-
pose; TO the great social problems of
humanity he is a total stranger.
Wherein is Joseph F. Smith great?
Lacking in every quality TO entitle him
claim upon it is that his pretensions
make OF him great fraud
Then let us see to what extent the
word ''good is applicable to Joseph
+. Smith: Is he honorabe' He broke
his solemn covenant made TO the couu-
try. In the most suppicating way he
begged for the mercy of the United
States and pledged his honor TO fulfill
the conditions of amnesty if ii should
be granted unto him. He received the
amnesty and then he violated the con
ditions upon which il was secured. If
that is honorable then the confidence
man Us an example OF honor. Smith
promised the Committee on Privileges
and Elections that ne would have the
prohibiting polygamy pub
lished in the next edlrion of the Doc
trine and Covenants. Since that time
he has caused TO be issued an edition
OF that book without the manifesto.
and has perpetrated the cheap trick of
that honorable? If so. then the promise
breaker, the hvpocritc in this world,
should be entitled 10 reverence. Where
in is Smith virtuouss Let mis- own an
swers before the Senate Committee on
and E.elections speak for him,
No man is virtuous who would COM
ment upon womankind in the brutal
way that he did. Wherein is Smith

widow Raleigh from her homestead an
