SENATOR KITTREDGE's VOTE AGAINST
MORMONISM

In explaining his vote for the expul-
sion OF U. 5. Senator Reed Smoot. last
winter, Senator Kittredge said:
Utah was admitted TO the Union on
condition that lis convention should
pass an ordinance irrevocabie without
the consent of the United States and
the said state, providing, first that per-
feet toleration OF religious setiment
shall be secured and that no inhabltant
of said state shall ever be molested in
person or property on account OF his or
her mode of religious worship, provided
that polygamy or plural marriages are
prohibited
That constitutes compact between
the United States and Utah. 1t is
probably lrne that violation of that
compact is not, technically speaking, a
violation of federal law, and it is prob
ably true that there is no way TO en-
force compliance with the compact or
directly to punish its violation by
either party. The compact, however
was solemn agreement entered into
between the United States and the
state of Utah.
IF those charged with the RESPONSE
bility of government in the state OF
Utah have elected a senator actively
identified with religious organization
which encourages violation of the COM
pact, | take the view that the federal
government is not without remedy,
extraordinary though it may be.
The evidence conclusively show
thai the hierarchy Of the Mormon
church has participated in and en-
couraged violations of the compact on
the part of citizens of Utah, and that
Senator Smoot belongs to that heirar-
chy. Although no penalty was stipu
lated for violation of the compac
think it is clearly within the cons tu-
tional power OF the state-and | also
believe it is my duty-to resort TO the
only remedy within its power to punish
such violation and thus by indirectio n
TO compel its faithful observance"
In has felicitious introduction of SEN
ator Klttredge to Parker audience re-
Gently, the pastor Of The church society
for whose entire benefit Senator Kit
tredge gave his great lecture on the
Panama Canal, among other things,
very appropriately referred to the Sena-
tors vote against Mormonism and
ed him on behalf of womanhood
and all lovers OF social purity for his
noble stand thereon This righteous
acknowledgment by the pastor, very
apparently, was not favorably received
by very small portion OF the large
audience and this disfavor found its
vent In an editorial in last we ek's in.
surgent Hurley Herald. This vent of
Crawfordites will please the Mormons,
who also are fighting Senator Kit
tredge-yet the Senator is entitled TO
credit and support from every fair
minded and patriotic person for these
enemies he has made. The New Era,

Additional Jurymen.

Roise Idaho, May 22.-The Haywood
trial is at standstill today while Sherlr
..Shad" Hodgin and almost his entire
denutv force are in the country sum-
noning the extra venire of 60 men Or

of 100 drawn for the case were exhaust
ed. The sheriff expects to report the
co177Dletion of his task tomorrow morn
ing and the trial will be resumed at z
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon. Jury ser
vice will come as a severe hardship on
the farmers and ranchers who are being
called from their work in the field at
time of the year when irrigation bitches
must be kept in order and the ground
carefully tended to insure the years
crop.
Late Yesterday afternoon the attor-
news for state and defense were served
with a list of names drawn on the new
venire and have been busily engaged
ever since in examining into the qualifi-
cations or disqualifications of the men
CONFUSING the panel. Both sides have
had agents in the county for several
months past and practically every man
who has expressed a decided opinion one
vvav or the other as to the guilt or in
nocence of the accused miners is known.
This fact was illustrated on the part OF
tha defense when on two occasions
talesmen in the jury box were confront
ed by men with whom they were alleg-
ed to have discussed the case from a
partisan standpoint.

organization is an association of doc
tors with medical institutes in the
larger cities of the country, where
chronic diseases are cured by the use
of natures remedies as found in the
waters of Hot Springs. These waters
have been analysed again and again
by medical experts and chemists in an
endeaTor to And the secret of their
great curative powers-but thus far
Kinsey is the only one who has found
natures secret. He has many imita-
tors, but none have been able to dupli-
cate the wonderful cures Of rheuma-
tism, paralysis. constipation, blood,
skin, nerve. kidney and stomach dis
eases that have been made in thous-
ands of cases by DIR. TIinsey and his
staff of medical experts. If the insti-
tute is established in Topeka, those
who attend it will be assured of the
best treatment obtainabIe anywhere,
