THE BALD INs1NcERITY OF IT.

AS indicating the official Mormon
attitude toward polygamy. new and old,
the Deseret News gave the public r
rather broad hint at one time. 1t was
contained IN an editorial article printed
in its Issue of November u, 1904, thus:
''The pledge for the future was solely
in reference TO the persons for whom
cemency was requested. -
This goes 10 show the utter insincer;
ity that has characterized the dealings
OF Mormon leaders with the Nation and
ITS citizens 1t is as much as to say
to the Mormon people that they are not
bound by the promises officially made
in their behalf regarding the practice
that has brought so much trouble and
woe to them. 1t is practically notice
to all Of them that those who did not
personally seek amnesty from the
President of the United States arc at
liberty to engage in polygamy if they
so desire, without fear that they shall
thus repudiate a sacred pledge made
in their behalf TO this Nation.
The Deseret News knows what was
the language of the petition in amnesty
signed and presented 10 President Har.
rison BY the Mormon leaders, 1t knows
that language was general and covered
sll. If there were no other expression
deuoting the fact that the petition con
templated a complete and irrevocable
abandonment Of polygamy, the follow
ing concluding sentence of that docu-
ment would prove the case; AS shep-
herds of patient and suffering people
we ask amnesty for them and pledge
our faith and honor for their future"
was the humble appeal. But that no
regard is held for that sacred pledge
of faith and honor is manifested in
the fact. that new polygamists are per
mitted TO go scot-free of punishment
either ecclesiastical or legal, and that
in reality the higher officials of the
church protect and reward these offend
ers.
At one time President Heber G. Kim
ball, in speaking of this very practice,
promised the saints that although they
were doubtless surprised when ''the cat
was let out of the bag" in the public
of the polygamous doc
trine. there were yet other cats to be
lot out, and that these would "bave kit
tens and increase the number Of cats. |
IT may be that in its remark concern.
ing the pledges the Deseret News was
merely fulfilling the prophecy of Kim
ball with respect to the polygamous
CATS that were to be permitted oc-
casionally to escape,

JEFF DAVIS RACES.

Senator Jeff Davis Of Arkansas turned
himself loose in tho Senate on Thurs
dav. The special object Of his attack
this time was fellow Democrat, Sena-
tor Owens Of Oklahoma, who was favor
ing a bill Tint would provide right OF
way for a pipe line that would convey
Oklahoma oil to market. lnasmuch as
this pipe line was partly through Kan
sas, obstructed only by some public
lands that the Government was asked
to give a right of way over. Mr.. laws
saw in this a direct attack upon ana
insult to his State. He made hls re-
marks very sharp, keen. and personal.
That il was received with scofhng and
contempt in the Senate does not IN the
least alter the case that 1t was very
acrimonious and bitter.
Senator Davis dwelt on his dislike tor
oil and his loathing Of the STANDARD

wonder his talk was ridiculed; but the
time has been when the Senate would
not have suffered such n TRADE.
