INTERVIEW PUBLISHED IN HIS
OWN NEWSPAPER.

From the columns Of his own news
paper, Senator Reed Smoot announces
in language that viii bear of no mis-
construction his attitude on labor. He
declares that there are no American la
borers in Utah. that the American Ia
borers are too busy robbing one another
TO go to work. This appears in an in
terview published in the Inter-Moun-
tain Republican, his own newspaper
This interview was a portion of a talk
which Reed Smoot had with President
Roosevelt concerning the Utah labor
ing men eleven months ago.
Reed Smoot is now candidate for re-
election and hopes to secure that re-
election through the votes of the labor
ing men for Republican candidates for
the legislature who are pledged to re-
turn Reed Smoot to the United States
senate. The article in full. including
the headlines, is from the Inter-Moun-
tain Republican of Dec. 2, 1907:

of the local situation on the eve of the

the disbursements of money toward the

SENATOR SMOOT ON
AMERICAN LABORERS
Says They VIII Not Work and For
eigners Get the Money.

=
eigners Get the Money.
Washington. Dec. 1.-The Americans
won't work any more. They are so
busy specializing and trying to live Of
each other that they have abandoned
labor, and the foreigner collects the
wages and sends the money abroad"
This is the arraignment of the nation
delivered by Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah. at the White House today. SEN
ator Smoot laid much of the blame for
the present financial stringency upon
the shoulders of his work-no-more
countrymen. and said he hoped the
money troubles would teach them a les
son.
Greeks Do 1t All.
"Out in my state and in the sur
rounding states you cannot find an
American laborer." said Mr.. Smoot.
"AlI the work is performed by foreign
ers. mostly Greeks at present. and the
moment they get their pay they ship
every cent of it they can spare from
their bare living expenses to their
homes in the old country. That means
more Greeks. / do not think that the
postal bank, as suggested by Postmas-
ter General Meyer, or any other scheme
of government guarantee would keep
that money from going across the
ocean. If the foreigner is paid more
money than he actually needs TO live
on he will send it home.
May Teach Us Something.
Perhaps the financial panic will
teach us a lesson. and some time in
the future the Americans will go back
TO work. In the last few years our
people have been too busy gambling
and specializing to do any real work
They have been too much engaged in
robbing each other."-Salt Lake Inter-
Mountain Republican. Dec. .. 1907.

the time has come for the church TO en-

dissented from that program. He has
spurned all our pleading, urging and arr
guments TO stand by the church and use
his influence for the church.
Our people must defend themselves
from an insolent foe l seek no office
and there is no political gift within the
power of the people that ! aspire to. so
you can all see that / am urging you for

THE matter of supporting the Republic

the church law not TO enter politics until
the safety OF the church demands it. and
that time has now arrived.
