Still in Polygamy.

The following is an extract from the majority
report of the committee on privileges and elections
of the United States Senate, covering the testimony
in the contested case of Senator Reed Snoot, OF
Utah:
Bearing in mind the authority of the first pres1-
dencv and twelve apostles over the whole body OF
the Mormon church, it is very evident that II polyg
amy were discountenanced among the members OF
that church it would very soon be thing OF the
past among the members of that church. On the
contrary it appears that since the ADMISSION OF Otah
into the Union as a State, the authorities OF the
Mormon church have countenanced and encouraged
the commission of the crime of poygamy instead OF
preventing it, as they could easily have done
sufficient number of specific instances or the
taking of plural wives since the manifesto OF 1884,
so-caed have been shown by the testimony to have
taken place among officials of the Mormon church
to demonstrate the fact that the leaders OF this
church. the first presidency and twelve apostles,
connive at the practice of taking plural wives and
have done so ever since the manifesto was ISSUED
which purported to put end to the practice.
1t has been shown by the testimony SO clearly
as to leave no doubt of the fact that late as 1896
one Lillian Hamlin became the plural wife OF Abra-
ham H. Cannon, who was then an apostle OF the
Mormon church
1t is also in evidence that Walter Steed, prom1-
nent Mormon, contracted plural marriage after
the manifesto of $780, and that Charles F. Merrill,
bishop of the Mormon church, took plural wife
in 1891.
1t is also proved that about the year 1896 James
Francis Johnson was married to plural wife, Clara
Mabel Barber, the ceremony being performed by an
apostle of the Mormon church.
To these cases must be added that of J. M. Tan
ner superintendent of church schools; Benjamin

Joined the Independents.

Without making any effort to conceal its pique
the Portland Oregonan, about the strongest news
paper on the coast, sewers its connection with the
Republican party, saying:
The Oregonian has done what it could to support
the Republican party in Oregon. Republicans have
not responded They and henCeforth sup
port the party themselves, if they desire to do
Like Romeo in the play, the Oregonian will be a
candle holder and look It is tired of the effort
to appeal on principles political, social financial
National and historical to who do not care for
anything of the kind, but actuated merely by
selfish piques, petty desires and trifng personal
ambitions.
The Oregonian retires in disgust 1t chdes the
men of its party for caring little for the party
to fail to heed the advice of the party organ Then
it commits itself to the delinquency that it
complains Of After telling the party to go to -
i departs itself for the pastures of the uncoared
assuring the politicians it has abandoned that it is
going to have good time browsing the grass of
independence
It will look to the philosophical observer that the
Republicans of Oregon and the Portland Oregonian
are suffering from the depredations of the same
germ-unconcern for the old party organization
with its machines, its wheels within wheels, its
cliuues and the petty affairs that exalt above
principles.
The Republicans of Oregon cannot avoid their
1apses any more than the Oregonian avoid its
1apses Both are tired of graft, self-serving and
self exploitation and both will eventually gravitae
toward new centers of political organization when
some we1l-dehned principles and policies attract
them.
With two kinds of Republicans and two kinds of
Democrats in plain sight, loyalty to party becomes
matter of Interpretation and the lines of partisan
ship are so loosely drawn that complaints of dis
loyalty have no weight.
The Portland paper announces its independence
of party, the ultimate position Of newspaperdom
seeking emancipation from party thraldom. 1t will
be influential and happy while it remains indepen-

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

Cuff Jr., president of Brigham Young University
Thomas Chamberlain, counselor to the president of
a stake; Bishop Rathall, John Silver, Winsow Farr
Heber Benion, Samuel S. Newton man named
Okey, who contracted plural marriage with Ovena
Jorgenson in the year 1897; Morris Nicholson about
the year 1902
The list of polygamsts also includes George Teas
dale, apostle; John w. Taylor, apostle; John
Henry Smith, apostle; Mariner W. Merrill, an
apostle; Hener ]. Grant an apostle; M. F. Cowley
an APOSTLE Charles w. Penrose an apostle; Francis
NJ Lyman who is not only apostle, but the prob
able successor of Joseph F. Smith as president of
the church.
The list of those guilty of violating the laws of
the State and rules of public decency is headed by
Joseph F. Smith, the first president, prophet,
and revelator" of the Mormon church.
Not only do the president and ma jority of the
twelve apostles of the Mormon church practice pO
lygamy but in the of each and every one guilty
of this crime who testified before the committee the
determination expressed openly and dehantly
to continue the commission of this crime without
regard to the mandate of the law the prohibition
contained in the manifesto.
In the case of Davis VS.. Beason Justice Field, of
the United States Supreme Court, delivering the
opinion of the court, said:
"Blgamy and pOlygamy are crimes by the laws OF
all civilized and Christian countries. They are
crimes by the laws of the United States and they
crimes by the laws of Idaho. They tend to des-
troy the purity of the marriage relation to disturb
the peace of families, to degrade woman and to de-
base man. Few crimes pern1COuS to the
best interests of society and receive general
more deserved punishment To extend exemption
from punishment for such crimes would be to shock
the moral Judgment of the community. To call their
advocacy tenent of religion is to offend the
mon sense of mankind.
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1907-12-07

us to proof it would not be pertinent to the issue
there involved, for The Scimitar to reply:
The Mormons perpetrated the Mountain Meadow
massacre and the leader of that band of cutthroats
who slaughtered those innocent women and children
was polygamist high in the councils of the church,
who was afterward elected and who was, after his
crime became known, elected to the Utah Legisla-
ture and was the recipient of additional poygamous
wives at the hands of Brigham Young
Nor:
Officers of the law representative of the United
States Government, who were seeking to enforce
the Edmunds act, found their houses de6led by
Mormon hands in Salt Lake.
Nor:
There are cases of Mormon polyganly wherein
man has taken both mother and daughter to wife.
Nor:
The heads of the polygamous church fitch from
their toiling dupes two million dollars annually, and
make no accounting thereof.
All of the foregoing may be pertinent arguments
in some cases, but they would not directly relate to
the matter which would be at issue in the above
stated contingency. If The Scimitar made the as
sertion that the Mormon polygamous chiefs were
interfering in Idaho politics.; and if President Will
liam A. Hyde challenged this paper for the proof;
not one all of the foregoing arrangements would
be the proper answer for to make If we as
sumed to retain the confidence and respect of the
public it would be essential for The Scimitar to
prove its case or to acknowledge defeat
The only decent thing that President William A.
Hyde, of the Pocatel1o Stake of Zion, do under
existing circumstances is to cite to the wherein
his church imposes its severest penalties upon its
members who engage in polygamy; or else acknowl-
edge that, like his great file leader, Joseph F., the
false phrophet he is falsher, telling lies for the
good of Zion and ito escape traps set by his enc
mics"

The Point at Issue.

President William A. Hyde of the Pocatello
(Idaho) Stake of Zion of the Mormon church, shall
not escape from the point at issue raised between
him and the people of Idaho by his fragrant mis-
statement of the attitude of his church concerning
polygamy.
Upon that point at ISSUE quoting his own exact
language, The Scmitar challenged him to cite to
one instance of proof of his assertion. President
Hyde with the usual evasiveness Of the class of
Mormon eccesiasts to which he belongs, resorted
to trickery and evasion. He sent letter to The
Scimtar raising other points of question, IN an at
tempt to divert the public mind from the real issue.
That letter published in full in these columns,
with a reiteration of the challenge.

President William A. Hyde of the Pocatello Stake

reiterates it; and until President William A. Hyde
shall either furnish the proof of his assertion or
acknowledge that he made the misstatement, he has
no place in the consideration of fair minded men.
In the meantime, let show Mr.. Hyde the abb

the present day teachings of polygamy by the Nor
