FULFILLING THEIR MISSION

Apostle"Senator Reed Smoot was one
of the speakers at the Mormon taber-
nacle services on Sunday afternoon
and from our report we find that "He
said he had full confidence that the
Mormon people were fulfilling the mis-
sion that God intended them to fulfill -
Yes. And we here present few more
names Of the Mormon elders who are
foremost in "fullflling the mission that
God intended them to fulfll,' accord
ing to the beliefs and practices of the
hierarchical twentysix of which Reed
Smoot, Senator of the United States,
is part;
Elder Nathan Clayson is a resident
of Juarez, Mexico, and is regarded as
one of the fulfllers. In the year 1904
he married a widow named Mrs. Avalina
Saville, He had already three wives
whom he had married previous to the
manifesto of 1890, but evidently thought
that the Almighty would not be salts
fed that he was fulfilling his mission
if he did not once more break His

land. At the time he did this he was
56 years old and the lady of his polyg-
amous choice was so.
Elder Brigham Pierce once lived at
Manti, Utah. He, however, joined a
company who went down to make their
homes in Mexico, and he settled at
.Juarez. He was called on mission to
Texas, and upon his return in the year
1904 he took as second conjugal com
panion younger sister Of his first wife
He was another ful6ller.
Elder Erastus Durfee, formerly Of
Salina, Utah, moved down to Dublan,
Mexico. In the year 1901 he unlaw-
fully married Mrs. Ella Humphrey. and
N the year 1902 he took unto himself
number three in the person of Mrs. Fan
ME Merrill These women were both
widows, and Elder Durfee now enjoys
the distinction of having by both Of
| them "raised up seed'' unto two of his
dead brethren. Thus he, too, became a
celcstializing fulfller.
Elder Arthur Clark is also of Dublan,

wives, four Of whom he has married

them, discovering that Elder Clark was

was unnecessary for them to procure
divorces from him, because he had never

TODAY IN HISTORY
Death of 4 Gay courtIer.
TUESDAY, JULY rs, 1910.

Today is the date of the death in
1850. OF one OF the most interesting
figures in the history of that period,
Among all the gay courtiers who crowd
ed around Charles II. none was more
celebrated for his conviviality and wit
than John Wilmot. the Earl of Roches-
ter. lie early displayed remarkable tall
ent and was much distinguished at Ok
ford. Had he lived In better times. he
would probably have graced his birth,
but. after making the grand tour, as It
was called, he came 10 court at the
early age Of eighteen, there quickly to
become the leader OF every excess
AS the companions OF the young earl
found his wit was greater at the close
OF long debauch than at the beginning.
1t was their amusement TO make him
drink deeply, and he himself confessed
that for five years he was never sober.
During these times he was writing satires
and squlos upon all around him. and.
as may be supposed, making himself many
enemies.
IN one instance he handed the king
a paper which Charles opened In the
tion OF some ladies' but 1t proved to be
a witticism upon the monarch himself
On another occasion he scribbled on
Charles's bedroom door the we'll known
mock epitaph:
Here lies our sovereign lord the king,
Whose word no man relies on:
Who never says foolish thing,
Nor ever does wise one
The earl Joined Charles in many of
his wild pranks in the streets OF Lon
don. AT one time he disappeared from
the court Just then stories were cir
culated about a wonderful physician.
necromancer. or Italian mountebank. who
was practicng on Tower Hill. Those
who consulted him were startled when
they found he disclosed secrets which
they hoped were known to none bat their
most intimate friends. The life OF the
court seemed to be laid bare by his
wonderful powers, and nothing was
talked OF for some time. until the
shrewder minds felt sure that only
Rochester's talents could carry on such
a pame. and u proved. AT other

and then fixed their own price as to
what they would pay the American
wool growers for their wool And they
have maintained that attitude: they
wait for the wool-growers to accept
thcir price, well knowing that the
American woolgrower must sell to
them, as he cannot sell abroad. Under
these circumstances, it is going to be
pretty hard to make him believe that

HART's WIIANGDooDLE.

We suppose that Elder Charles II.
Hart does not wish TO utter a lot OF
miserable faisehoods in his public ad-
dresses, And yet in his address in the
Tabernacle here on Sunday his utter
an,es were scandalously false. And
as we do not attribute willful falsity
to him. we conclude TINT he is too
densely ignorant TO speak Of early
Mormon history; he has Just accepted
"a true the fanatical misrepresenta-
tions of the older men in the church,
whose interest and perverse inclinations
have always led them to twist truth
TO their own exculpation on account of
their own personal offenses. No won
der Apostle Smoot, who followed Ell
der Hart, promptly said that there
are two sides to the story.
Hart dwelt on the prosecutions
of the Saints; but there has never been
a religious persecution in this coun-
try since the early colonial days. What
caused the Mormons TO have hard
neighbors is that they were bad neigh
bors themselves; they claimed the Mis-
souri, region in which they settled ms
their own, and dedicated all-land,
personal property and all in sight-to
their own uses. And they proceeded
accordingly, until older settlers rose
in revolt and rid themselves OF an
unbearable nuisance. 1t was the same
in Illinois. but in the latter State, it
was dissensions among themselves that
brought on the elimination, and So
called friends and intimate associ-
atcs of Joseph Smith that slew him.
This we have abundantly proven, from
The records and sayings of the Nor
forecast of his doom by Smith himself.
in his quotations from the alleged
R&ncrofl history, Elder Hart imposes
on the credulity Of his hearers. It is
i well"known fact that the Mormon
part Of that history was furnished 20
Bancroft by unscrupulous writers of
the Mormon church, and that he ac-
cepted their stuff rs furnished He
came here and arranged the deal HIM
self, staying at the Townsend House
at the cost of the church. II was a
nasty scandal at the time, the whole
deal being openly exposed.
1t is shame for a man to get ur
before any assembly at this late dav
and utter those stale and exploded
as Hart did on Sunday. And
the right sort of feeling can never
come here until no one can be found
to do it; nay, until no one will want
TO do it. Hart was guilty of stirring
up hate by tie emissions Of untruths,
that he ought to have known were un-
truths. And he was guilty of trea-
sonahle arraignment of the Government
and people Of the United States in his
bearing of false witness against his
neighbors.

In this connection, and in close rela-
tion to the same sort Of vicious stirring

following from the Deseret News IS ed
itorial on "Pioneer Day. on Saturday
evening last:
They felt that they had escaped the
hand of the oppressor and the tyrant,
and that from henceforth they were free
to worship God in truth and righteous
ness without the Interference of blood
thirsty mobs. and so Pioneer day was a
day of Joy and thanksgiving. day OF
ecstasy.
That WAS descriptive of the feelings
of the pioneer party on their coming
in sight of this beautiful valley. But
the retrospect put into words is shame
fully malignant and false. Who was

Who or whatever prevented them from

dcused nalevolence against the
Government and people of the United
States in most malignant form, and as
untrue as it is venomous,
AS long as this sort of vile false
hood rests in the Mormon heart; as
long as the Mormon speakers and
writers continue to thus vilify and
slaHder the people of the United States,
magnifyiug themselves as martyrs
when in fact they were constant and
criminal aggressors. it will be idle for
them TO cry out for peace which they
constantly disturb and which can only
be had, so far as they are concerned, by
yielding TO their bigoted and faraticaI
usurpations and falsifications of the
record, But this will never be done.
