knows how TO use that power, TO expel
men from the community if he does not
approve of their lives. Reed Smoot is
in accord with the practice of the polyg-
amists or he would bring proceedings
against them; the entire hierarchy must
approve the course of life of all OF the
new and old polygamists for violating
the law, otherwise they would he cast
out.
This applies not alone to Apostle
Smoot, but 10 every man in the hie-
rarchy, The new apostles are equally
responsible IL is folly for them to
attempt TO wash their hands of rcspon-
slbility; for If any man within their
community was seriously transgrcssing
against the will of the authorities, was
bringing discredit upon the church, was
defying the law of the priesthood-in
any other way than in plural marriage
these new apostles would yindicate
their authority by bringing proceedings
AGAINST such men and having them ex-
pcllod from the community so that their
lives might no longer bring discrcdit
upon the work of God.
The only logical conclusion-in view
of the threat of the Deserct News, fire.
quently reiterated, and in view of the
practice Of tho hicrarchs-is thai plural
marriage, new and old-continuous
polygamous living-is in accord with
the will Of the hiorarchs, all Of them
from President Smith down to the last
ono of the governing body; otherwise
proceedings would be brought against
the sinners.

ALL IN HAPPY HARMONY.

As to Reed Smoot S responsibility for
the continuing polygamy IN the Nor
mon church, the Deseret News, the Off
cial organ Of the church, affords conclu-
sive evidence.
In frequent and voluble editorial out
bursts, the News declares that men WHO
will not live according TO the law of
God will not be harbored by the church; !;
they will be cast out; it is the duty of
the official authority in the church to
proceed against them to turn them from
the fold and to deprive them of mem"
bership in the society whose rules they
Will not heed.
Therefore, if the man who lives in
polygamy-the man who takes new
plural wife or the man who continues
to live with the plural wives taken at
an earlier time-is transgressing against
the will of the priesthood, is at variance
with the authority welded by Reed
Smoot, he must be Immediately ar
raigned before ecclesiastical tribunal
and, failing to make repentance and res
munity.
Apostle Reed Smoot demonstrated his
consciousness of his duty in this regard
when he took proceedings against a
married man, one Elder Harmon, who
was living with. his wife and another
woman who, he claimed, was not his
wife. Against this person Reed Smoot
inaugurated a campaign of prosecution
illuminating his line of march with
many torches and attracting public at
tention by much blare of trumpets and
roll OF drums. it was his duty to SEQ
that Harmon was punished for viola
tion of the laws of the church ard for
offense against the rules Of conduct laid
down by tho hierarchy; "and Reed
Smoot done his duty
Every man who offends in his per-
sonal conduct against the hierarchy of
the Mormon church-including the apos-
tles-is tried and, unless he comes down
on his marrow bones and pleads for
amnesty, is expelled. Note the case of
Charles A. Smurthwaite, who outraged

man will be harborcd in the church who

becomes apparent that the polygamous

of young polygamists-is not displeas.

A NEW AND HELPFUL ART.

Some of the poor people Of New York
arc reaping the rewards of n bencfac-
ton much more complete and practical
than can come from free libraries, fad'
dy society stunning efforts, or even
contributions TO education.
About year ago there was estab'
lished in poverty-strickcn section OF
the metropolis, lace making school Tor
tho girls and women of the locality.
Competent instructors took charge OF
the institution, and the pupils have ex-
hbited such an aptitude for the delicate
work that they have become very pro-
ficient in the production of splendid
specimens Of the art So large and
meritorious is the output Of the school
and from the homes of the pupils that
shop has been opened for the sale OF
the work The proceeds of sale are de-
voted to paying the workers for their
services, and by that means many de
serving girls and women are kept from
the sweatsbops and the street-saved
from unhealthful and immoral associa-
tions, and provided with opportunity to
earn an independent livelihood among
cleanly surroundings.
The movement was inaugurated by
number Of philanthropic women in New
York, who became interested IN similar
work in foreign cities and who effected
It's successful introduction into this
country. Although now but year old,
the enterprise has reached a stage of
assured permanency> Not only are the

made self supporting by honorable
means, but new art in America has
been created, with the additional result
that the modern woman of moderate
wealth is able to purchase duplicates Of
the rare old pieces of lace which had
become practically priceless.
The moral is that charitable persons
who are seeking for an object upon
which TO bestow their benefactions can
find outlet for their generosity in such
means of preserving the present and
future womanhood of the land in honor
able independence and physical and
moral cleanliness.
Instead OF the demoralizing and use

is to aggrandize the fame of the giver,
and whose chief immediate result upon
the so-called beneficiary is to create in

of this Republic. The matter is not a
mere theory; it is tangible fact. The
! largest element of government in Utah
is the Mormon church authority. 1t
/ does not even run parallel with clvlc
( government. for il is moro complete
and autocratic than civic rule. Sepa-
rated from its control Of civic govern
mont, the Mormon church has itself
three artments-Legislative Execu-
tive and Judicial. il claims to he a
segregated entity. II calls b.. itself n
kingdom, il teaches that it has divine
| authority for its temporal rule over
mankind, and that all civil govern
mcnts arc but usurpations which will
be overthrown by this divinely or
dained kingdom of the Mormon church.
1t makes laws, 1T collects taxes, IT
maintains judicial tribunals which try
questions of property and personal
right, it executes its decrocs, it Furnishes
tangibly those who disobcy its statutes;
1T is efficient, all-pervasive, and, as a
governing force, is more complete than
any civic government in the Nation.
AS an independent government, 1T
selected Reed Smoot, an apostle Of the
cult, to represent this Independent gov
crnment at Washington, He was not
first chosen by the citizens or the Leg
islaturc of this State; but was first des-
ignatcd by the council of the priests
Of the kingdom of the Mormon church.
AS such ambassador he had no right
10 seat in the Senate any more than
any other alien or any other embassa-
dor from any foreign government
would have. And with a proper under
standing of the case, this was the only
point involved. and il should have been
sufficient in its magnitude to exclude
him.
But the Mormon church exercises an
other and additional dominion, Not con-
tent with its own independent exist
ence as a kingdom, exercising all the
powers of government, 1t rules the civil
power in this commonwealth 1T chooses
the Governor, and he executes civil
laws-or fails 10 execute them-accord-
ing to its viii and pleasure; it domi-
mates the State Legislature; and it has
sought TO control tho tribunals which
adiudicatc the civil law.
There would be evil enough in the
situation if the Mormon church set up
a government Of its own and restricted
its operations of that government to its
own people; but the wrong is accentu-
atcd when this kingdom, by its pre-
poudcrating power OF numbers in this
State, goes outside of its own domain
and rules the civil power, thereby being
the ruler of all other citizens than its
own,
If the Outlook could know the sltua-
tion in Utah in its entirety. that dis
publication would continue
to demand the constitutional and legal
rights" Of the case; but 1t would sec
that Apostle Smoot and the Mormon
church are standing for the constitu-
tional and legal wrongs, and that If
right IL to be done the extraordinary
which these pretended
prophets claim for themselves and their
kingdom must be overborne by the
power Of the civil government.
