Assailing Their Helpers.

In speech delivered in the United States SEN
ate shortly before he retired from that body, Sena-
tor Kearns of Utah, said that he too was deceived
by the promises of the leaders of the Mormon
church, were all the others who consented to the
return of the Mormon church to political power
Mr.. Kearns said that Utah was admitted to state
hood after and because of, long series of pledges
exacted from the Mormon leaders, the like of which
had never before been known in American history"
1t was his opinion that, but for these pledges and
their acceptance, statehood would have been denied
the Mormon Territory
He pledged his word as a Senator of the United
States that he believed those pledges to consist Of
First-That the Mormon leaders would live with
III the laws pertaining to plural marriage and the
continued plural marriage relation and that they
would enforce this obligation upon all their fol-
lowers, under penalty of disfellowship
Second-That the leaders of the Mormon church
would no longer exercise political sway and that
their followers would be free and would exercise
their freedom in politics, in business and in social
affairs.
Continuing Senator Kearns said
AS citizen and Senator I give my word
OF honor to you that believed that these pledges
would be kept in the spirit in which Congress and the
country accepted them and that there would never
be any violation, evasion, denial or equivocation
concerning them
1. Utah secured her statehood by solemn COM
pact made by the Mormon leaders in behalf of them
selves and their people.
2 That compact has been broken willfuly and
frequently
B. No apostle of the Mormon church has public
~ protested against that violation know the gray
1ty OF the utterances that have just made [ know
what are the probable consequences to myself But
| have pondered long and earnestly on the subject
and have come to the conclusion that duty to the
innocent people of my state and that obligation
to the Senate and the country require that | shall
clearly define my attitude
Senator Kearns knew that the consequences would
De his retirement from the Senate and he measured
hem correctly, for he overthrow by the same
political power that the church had promised to
bandon when it accepted the terms that were named
IS the price of statehood. The same terms would
ave been exacted of any territory seeking admiss-
on to the union.
All that was said by Senator Kearns in relation
. Utah applies with equal force to Idaho, which
,as admitted under like pledges It's promises were
ccepted in good faith and the loyal support extend

ed by leading Gentes of the state has been turned
against them through exhibition of the same
species of ingratitude that prompted the church
to betray its faithful helpers
Gentle leaders believed the church and its fol-
lowers to be sincere. They said so to the public
The church not sincere and now the guarantee
of the Gentle leaders is turned upon those who
vouched for the church.
