strike in the beginning, but at the
same time had said if it was declared
he would support to the end. This
promise he said he had kept and he
would never ask the strikers to go
back unless they received material
concessions. Percy Thomas, former
deputy president of the general body,
issued a statement tonight, in the

When neither barefaced lies, nor crafty
deception could serve his purpose, the
bogus prophet resorted to brazcn de-

ably the most damnable blaspheniy-
even considering what has already been
quoted-occurred in the following col
loquy:
Mr.. Tayler.-But do you mean to say
you, at your pleasure; obey or disobey
The commands OF Almighty God?
Joseph f, Smith.-Yes. sir,
After reading all Of tho testimony OF
the prophet and his polygamous coadJu
tors, as it was given at Washington
there was ample need for the most
recent declaration of a right to make
their own Interpretation. Under that
cover, the hypocrites who trarnpIo the
name of God under foot, and whose
acts malign the whole State of Utah
imagine that they can continue in Grim
inality and then interpret it as law
abiding godliness. But be not too sure

the bonds voted, under proper show

right kind of an exhibit as to where
the building should be put, also with
guarantee, which tho appointment of a
skilled commission would provide, that
the money would not be wasted or mis-
appropriated. The board thus far has
taken no steps to reassure tho puphc

THE SMoOT ATTITUDE.

IT may be that Senator Hopkins or
Illinois had superior knowledge over
that possessed by Joseph +. Smith, as
to Reed Smoot S attitude toward poly
gamy; but people hereabouts would
hesitate to think so. At any rate, 1T
may not be amiss to quote the prophet
himself as against Mr.. Hopkins, who
asserted that Apostle Smoot has oppos-
ed polygamy since his childhood. In
respect to his own polygamous rela~
tions, and with reference to the act and
utterances of Senator Smoot concerning
the same, hero is the testimony, as de-
livered at Washington:
The Chalrman-Has he LSmootl at any
time protested 10 you against it2
Joseph L, Smith-No. sir; he never has
had any conversation with me ON the
subject at all.
protested anywhere, to your knowledge.
against your living in this relation2
Joseph +, Smith-Not within my
knowledge [ know nothing about it.
Now, it Is probable that the much
welded hicrarch would say that poly
gamous living has nothing TO do with
polygamy-as they apply their own
right of Interpretation to tin fact,
Smith himself made futile effort to
convince members of the Senate COM
mittee that such was the case. But at
this same hearing the prophet was COM
PEELED to admit that the anti-polygamy
manifesto of Wilford Woodruff includ-
cd unlawful ohabitatIon-which is but
a consequence of polygamous marriage.
1t is evident that Mr.. Smoot did not
dare to personally assert that he had
been constant opponent of polygamy
and so he got someone else to do it for
him.
Smoot an enemy of plural marriage!
The vicarious hypocrite himself knows
that he adores it-and other people are
unable to say that he does not practice
it.

MANCHURIA'S EVACUATION

The dispatches announce that Rus

ably means no more than that they

doubted that. Manchuria is lost to
China; nor do the nations of the world
expect Russia and Japan to give up
Manchuria to China. any more than
they expect Great Britain TO surrender
