The last sentence of the matter
quoted should appeal to Reed Smoot
with some force He should be able to
see in it the cause of the present strife
in Utah, Smoot is blind If he is unable
to observe that his own acts in "tem-
porizing with this question have
brought about the cars of the Mormon
people the condemnation of the country
at large, and of those citizens at home
who had hoped that the matter had
been forever settled. The apostle, Reed
Smoot, and the United States Senator,
Reed Smoot, cementing the church and
the State, spell ruin for the common
wealth if persisted in.
Smoot is an enemy to Utah because
he personally represents condition
against which the National and State
Constitutions both declare, His occu-
pancy Of both high political and eccle-
siastical stations at the same time is
direct insult to the faith and integrity
Of the people of this State. He can not
plead that while he is a Senator he is
not an apostle, and vice versa, because
he will not be believed. Even his most
ardent ecclesiastical supporter in the
Mormon church will not dare to say
that when he anproaches Senator Smoot

he completely loses sight of Apostle
Smoot. And, worse yet, his most en-
thusiastic Gentle friend in dealing
with the Smoot political programme, al
ways bears in mind the fact that he is
doing business with high dignitary
of the Mormon church-one who is
looked upon by his people as being

Indeed, Smoot, the pure, the innocent,

you, Joseph +. Smith knew how like clay

CHURCH CAMPAIGN OPENED.

We notice that the Mormon church
has opened the municipal campaign for
next falls election. In the Twenty
eighth ward meeting house on last Sun
day afternoon Elder Isaac Langton
made the opening speech of the cam
paign Elder Langton is the supcrin-
tendent of the Sunday school IN that
ward He delivered a political har-
angue on Sunday afternoon, and he
opened in old fashioned dlsreputable
campaign style, with a complete mis-
representation and q ridiculous false
hood. This misrepresentation and
falsehood consisted in his statement
that "the leaders. of the American
party had recently visited Joseph /.
Smith, president of the Mormon church,
and gone down on their hands and
knees to him, begging him TO let the
American party win the coming city
election. OF course that was the bald
est sort of falsehood; a mere pipe
dream of the elder which he had evi-
denly mistaken for revelation or in
spiration. According to the elder, the
''Prophet,' Joseph F., turned down
these kneeling suppliants, spurned their
prayer, and told them that even II the
whole American party should go down
on it's hands and knees TO him he still
would not permit that party to carry
the city This, no doubt. to show most
perfectly that the church is out Of pol.
itics, and that President Joseph F,
Smith refuses absolutely to have any.
thing to do with politics, The elder, in
the usual confident tone of the cam
paign orator, declared that success was
assured for his own party, the church
activity which has stolen the name of
stRepublican' to sail under. "The
Republican party will carry the city
this fall" said The elder, land the
church will rule.
This indicates q union of the church
forces under the stolen Republican ban
ner now carried by the buccaneers who
in the interest of the church now con
troll that bastard organization, made up
of church political tricksters, boilers
and spoilsmen.
Elder Mcmillan, Of the same ward
bore testimony to the inspiration and
truth of Elder Langton s inspired
word, repeated the prediction in his
own words, and said that the spirit OF
the Lord was present In great abund
ance, and that the words of the Lord
as delivered through the mouths ther
and there speaking, were sure to be full
filed, The solemnity of the occasion
was enhanced by the fact that it wa:
"fast day" meeting, and that thc
brethren were truly speaking from
their hearts and not merely belchinG
from their stomachs.
And so the church campaign is form
ally opened and the ground is cleared
IL is to be a straight Republican
fight against the American party; ant
the Democrats that are at the churcl
bidding will go up like little manikin
to the polls and will vote the "Repub

HER DIAMONDS |
PROMPTED THE MURDER OF MRS.
LESLIE IN CHICAGO FOR
WHICH
TWO MEN PAY THE PENALTY
WITH LONG PRISON
SENTENCES
sociated Press q Risnarck Tribrne.

Associated Press TO Bismarck Tribune.
Chicago, April 8. Howard Nicholas
and Leonard Leopold were today con-
victed Of the murder Of Mrs. Margaret
Leslie, the actress. Nicholas was
sentenced to life impris onment while
Leopold was given fourteensyear
term in prison. Robbery is said to
have been the motive for the crime.
On the morning of October 9. last
year, the dead body Of Mrs. Leslie
was found in her room at the Palace
hotel, with an under garment tied
around her neck The room was filed
with gas which came from an open
jet.
q A verdict of suicide by gas poisoning
was rendered by coroners jury This
finding. however, did not meet the ap-
proval Of the woman's father, Marvin
p. Woody of South Bend, Ind, and he
demanded that the case be reopened.
Nicholas, who had been connected
with Mrs. Leslie in several theatrical
( ( & 2 & - - :
ventures and who also lived at the
Palace hotel, was arrested as a sus-
pect. Under what he alleged later to
have been .'sweat box" methods, he
made a confession to the police in
which he implicated Leopold. He
admitted having killed Mrs. Leslie in
order to rob her Of her diamonds. In
the confession he laid the burden OF
the crime upon Leopold
A search for the latter was insti-
tuted, which became national in ex-
tent, and which ended in the arrest
of Leopold at Wausau, Wis. Some OF
the diamonds which had belonged to
Mrs. Leslie were found in the
possession Of Nicholas and Leopold
