THE CONSTITUTIONAL MORALE

As has already been seen, polygamv
is alien to II republican form of gov
srnment, and its devotees, apologists
and excusers show n disregard, disre-
spect and neglect of those principles
which are the foundation of republi-
can or democratic institutions.
Utah polygamists have always con-
tended that they had a constitutional
right to practice polygamy as it is
Fundamental of their creed, part of
their religion and holy practice. The
fact that the leaders of Mormonism had
deviated from those principles from
the first seems not to be grasped by
decs. What kind OF support can repub-
lican institutions expect from those who
have been trained by the leaders of
the Mormon Church9 The foreign con
vert is brought to Utah, possibly at a
time when the church was fighting the
National governmcnt-if he has fam

Influence. The institutions of state
must be subjected 10 the Aarons and
Melchisedecs. and all laws of the state
and nation that are against their Grim
inal practices are to be rendered abortivc
by the Mormon officials-chosen at
the dictates of the various priesthood
political machinery.
The example Of their Prophet Joseph
T. Smith, the Holy person of the Nor
mons, living in polygamy. is the highest
authority on earth for Mormons. To
Mormon attorneys and counseors at
law, this polygamous, lawbrealling cx-
ample is higher authority than all of
the codes, commentaries, cases, stat,
utcs and constitutions instituted by
civilization since the dawn of history.
The same may he said Of the Mormon

come in contact with any extrancous au-

f. Tie construction Of railroad 10
a point near Wellington can no
longer be treated az mere news
paper talk as the following article
from the Bridgeport Chronicle will
prove. Mr.. Orem president OF the
Copper Belt road states thai cars
will be in operation on his road by
May of next year and his word is
not to be doubted
Shortening az it will, the team
hall to The towns of Mono county
some 20 miles and increasing the
] rail distance 20 miles or more, it is
vet to be seen just what effect it
will have on the present freight
rate to that section. When the
V. d T. built its Carson Valley
bran eh, shortening the team haul
to Mono county, it increased the
freight rate To Mono merchants 10
cents a hundred. The teamsters
refused to reduce their charges and
maintained the same prices charg-
ed when Carson was the terminal
point, the 10 cent representing the
railroad haul from Carson to
Minden. The Chronicle article
follows:
Mr.. Orem, president of the Cop
per Belt Railroad and manager of
the Douglas Copper company, and
p. J. Conway were in Bridgeport
last Wednesday and Thursday.
Mr.. Orem is selling bonds of the
Copper Belt railroad and says that
the road will be completed to
point near Wellington by May lst,
1910 The bonds are of the $500
denomination and are to run ten
years and bear interest at the rate
of per cent payable semi-annual-
ly. In order to raise the money
at once these bonds are being offer
ed at 30 cents on the ST..
This road will be a great henetit
to this section of the country, as it
will reduce the freight rates con-
siderably and should be a good
paying road for the company.

KNOCKED DOWN
BY ELECTRICITY
Ground Wire Causes Exciting Time
When Span of Mules are
Nearly EIectlOcuted.

Last Monday afternoon Fritz
Elges tied span of mules to tele-
phone and electric pole in front of
Dettling's saloon and few mom-
ents later Sorono, sheep man,
noticed both mules sprawled out
on the ground and apparently in
great agony. Not knowing that
the animals were being subjected
to heavy current of electricity
because of their halter chains COM
ing in direct contact with a ground
wire running down the pole, he
rushed up and grabbed the halter
chain, intending to free the mules.
The second his hand came lin con-
tact with the chain, the unseen
agency sent him staggering Not
being acquainted with the pranks
of electricity, Sorono made another
attempt to unite the mules and a.
gain he received a jolt that he will
not soon forget. Seeing that some
thing was wrong with his mules,
Mr.. Elges hurried to their assist
ance. The first thing he did was
to grab hold of the halter chain
and the next thing he did was to
take seat on mother earth. Dis
covering the trouble, he secured
pair OF IRON cutters but the handles
We're not insulated and got another
shake-up before the mules were
emancipated from their electrified
