Idaho by the Idaho Supreme Court, in which the
court holds that any person belonging to an or
ganization that teaches polgamy is disqualified for
the duties of an elector That is, he cannot vote,
he cannot hold office, he cannot sit upon a jury.
The disqualification applies to both men and women
of the Mormon church.
1t is we'll enough known by persons who have
studied the question that the church never intended
to cease its advocacy and practice of poygamy and
that the Woodruff manifesto never seriously
considered.
The manifesto, although it was given to the pub
lie (fraudulenty of course) as revelation, not
received or employed as an ordinance that repealed
the Joseph Smith, Jr, revelation of July IL, 1S43,
through which the Lord is said to have commanded
the practice of po1ygamy by the devotees of the
Mormon church. The Woodruff manifesto
looked upon as a temporary expedient and there IS
no other pretense in it than that it suspended the
practice of polygamy.
The recognized revelations of the prophets are
printed in one of the books of instruction-the
that bears the title of Doctrine and Covenants"
Although eighteen years have transpired since the
PRONUNCIATION of the Woodruff manifesto, it has not
been printed in the book of Doctrine and Cove
nants" and the original revelation commanding the
practice of polygamy occupies its accustomed place
in that book 1t can be found pages 463-474

MR.. CLAWS LETTER.

Editor Caldwell News: l ask leave to express,
through your columns, few thoughts L have IN
regard to the above subject To some extent you
have been msled in regard to this question, and L
know you do not wish through The News to con-
yev wrong Impressions In your editorial of last
week YOU say, GAS we understand it, the desire is
not to ignore this burning question altogether but
rather to avoid the sweeping condemnation involved
in last years utterance and conflne the attack to
the actual aw-breakers-the polygam1sts as they
exist The advocates of this course contend that
if the laws they are at present written into the
statute books are enforced further offending will be
impossible and those who living in defiance
of the law both of their own church and the State,
may be punished, provided the people will elect SER
wants who will to it that the laws are obeyed and
vioators are placed on trial"
In this passage quoted is found two three
errors based upon transformation, or due to lack
of information on this subject. If the Mormon peo-
Die were like other people this reasoning would be
correct. But they not The poygamlStS are
not living in defiance of the laws OF their church
If the authorities of the Mormon church would only
say "Po1ygamy must be stopped, and those who do
NOT cease to practice it will be dsfelowShiped and
given up to the State for punishment, it would be
a thing of the past But long as the president
of the Mormon church and the majority OF the
apostles practice polygamy and reward WITH Hgn
church positions those who persist in violating the
laws of the land by practicng poygamy, Just SO
long will this crime go among this people. Inns
is Just the condition today in spite of the manifesto
of MILFORD Woodruff in 1890 suspending poygamy
That manifesto did not condemn polygamy but
simply suspended it, and its author fully expected
the day to come when it could and would be safe
to revive it. The day he looked for was when Utah.
Idaho, Wyoming and Arizona-all Mormon colo
nies-woud be received into the Union as States
All but one of these are today sovereign States IN
the Union and it is not strange that we are having
trouble in all of these States account of poygamy
IF it is a question of "the sweeping condemnation
of two years ago or milder expression on the
same question 1 am quite sure that the Democratic
party of the State should speak in the stronger
terms. We are not going to get any Mormon votes
this year nor at any time in the near future from
the simple fact that the Salt Lake hierarchy Will
not allow the Mormon people to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket-Joseph F. Smith and the twelve apoS-
Ties decide how the Mormon people vote and not
the people themselves. This, Mr.. Editor, is really
the great question before the Democratic party and
the people of Idaho. 1t is bigger question than
oo1vpamy because the liberties of the Mormon peo-

Teaching Polygamy.

That the Mormon church has never ceased to
teach poygamy is subject to such voluminous proof
that it cannot be denied within the truth and proof
is in the books of instruction distributed among the
members of the church and used by Mormon mis-
sionaries in their PROSECUTING work. On page six

To the Idaho Scimitar: The following arti-
Gle was prepared for the Caldwell news, but
for reasons best known to the editor of that
paper it was returned to me as rejected.
The issue raised by the editor of The News
is of such Importance that believed it should
be answered and the editor set right. am
still of that opinion. [ am a Democrat; an
American Democrat at that. I wear no
mans collar. I am for the liberty of Idaho,
and therefore ask you to let the people see
how at least one Democrat thinks and feels
who for eight years lived in Mormon COM

with the Mormons understands the situation.
1 therefore ask you to publish this article.
Truly yours for free speech,

1t will not become matter of common belief that
the president of the Mormon church, and its die
tator in all things permitted his lack of memory to
betray him into an omission so important. The
revelation of 1843 and the revelation pretending to
repeal" it we're the two dominating declarations
in the propaganda of Mormonisn-one the source
of all of its trouble and the other the means
through which it could relieve itself of all its
trouble The suspicion will continue to grow that
the president of the Mormon church bore false tes
tmony in subscribing to the statements contained
in his answer to Mr.. Worthington.
The next edition of the book of Doctrine and Cove
nants following the testimony of Mr. Smith con-
tanned the revelation of 1843 and did not contain
the manifesto of 1890. The only difference between
that edition and previous editions was the omission
of the date of its publication, while the edition from
which Mr.. Worthington drew his inspiration bore
the date of 1891 The Scimitar has copy of that
edition and it is authenticated by the autograph of
Joseph F. Smith and the date written by him on the
fly leaf "March II, 1904"
The Mormon church deals largely in literature in
explanation of its beliefs and scattered throughout
its accumulated mass of information teachings in
behalf of the po1ygamous relation between men and
women. In considering the application of the test
OATH under the new judicial ruling, these teachings
must be taken into account, for all of those who
belong to a church that teaches practices polyg

Mr.. Worthington-It appears here that the
Doctrine and Covenants continue to be print
ed without the manifesto. Whv is it that
the manifesto is not printed and distributed
with the other revelations contained in the
Doctrine and Covenants?
Mr. Smith-So far as I know, it is
tirely an oversight. For myself, [ never
thought of it. 1t never occurred to me; but,
from circumstances existing at this time and
from what | have read in relation to the
matter, it appears to me that it should be in
the Doctrine and Covenants, and [ shall GER
tainly use my influence to have it put in the
next edition that is published
