ALFONSO DEFIEs CATHOLICS.
Addresses Letter to Leaders Declar-
ing Traditions of Catholic Spain
Shall Be Defended.

San Sebastian, Spain.-Don Jaime,
the Carist pretender to the throne,
has issued letter addressed to the
leaders of the Carlists, in which he
advises his followers to resist with
all their force the rising tide of radi-
calism, but not to have recourse to
violence.
The pretender says that he does not
propose to depart from pacific meth
DDS unless the existing regime is
threatened.
IT revolution menaces religious,
family and property traditions of
Catholic SPAIN he adds, Il will do
my duty
Alfonso filings Defiance.
Parishes Nouvelles says it is au-
thorized to deny the statement Of the
Madrid Epoca that Premier BRAND
strongly advised King Alfonso against
rupture with Rome, and blamed the
severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween France and the holy see to the
clumsiness of the vatican
The paper says, further, that King
Alfonso during the interview with
Premier BRAND talked frankly about
the situation, and told the French
statesman in energetic terms that he
did not propose to obey the injunction
OF the vatican, to tolerate the threats
of Plus K or to allow the vatican to
mix in Spanish politics.
IN. Brands experience enabled
him to offer sage advice to the young
monarch, warning his majesty to pro-
coed automatically"
Pope Plus Hopes for Final Peace.
Rome.-The pope, in speaking with
reference to the Spanish question dur
ing the course of an audience which
he gave to a prominent official recent
ly, said that the events in Spain and
the activity of the anti-clericals, sup
ported by irreligious forces abroad,
had caused him much trouble, but at
the same time he had been afforded
an opportunity for a splendid mani
festation of loyalty and devotion to
the church and the pontiff himself
from the Spanish people, who are by
tradition Catholic.
The pope added that addresses, tel
egrams and letters had been received
from every part of Spain assuring the
holy see of complete support while
the discipline and strength of the cler-
gy and their harmony with the vati-
can were above praise. The pope
concluded with the hope that this time
the cause would triumph.

THE PRIME LAWBREAKERS.

"Let the citizens demand Of thcir Of
fcials," urges the Deserct News. "that
they do their duty in the matter of law
enforcement" T"
The citizens have so demanded. anc
they are still SO demanding. But thcil
appeals in. this respect fall upon fear
closed ears. The matter, however, has
fed, by President Joseph +. Smith of
the Mormon church, whose journalistic
spokesman is the Deseret News. While
tcstifying at Washington, Mr. Smith
said, "The fact Of the matter is, that
the most prominent men, the most in
fiuential men. the men who have stood
highest in business and in social circles
in Utah among the Mormon people,
have been men who had more than one
wife. - (Sec official testimony, volume
7, page 2O9). And with respect to the
officers Of the law and their attitude
toward lawbreakers OF his own class,
he said. 'It is the law of my State
10 which ! am amendablc, and if the
officers of the law have not done their
duty toward me / can not blame them.
think they have some respect for
me. " (See same volume, page 334).
To the individual who knows the
situation here, these two utteranccs by
Joseph j.. Smith explain voluminously,
brief as they are. Joseph F. is credited
with being the NEST influential citizen
in the State of Utah His companion
lawbreakers, as he SAYS, are also in
6ucntlal men. They require of public
officials that they be let alone in their
lawbreaking upon penalty Of summary
dismissal from the public service
through the exercise of ecclesiastical
and lawIess influence. The "rcspectD
for Joseph +, claimed by him TO be
exhibited by public officials toward him
is merely that bred of fear Of his
political influence as the supreme head
Of the dominant church here. And it
is recognition of this truth that caused
him TO say that nc did not blame those
officials for not having done their duty
by him.
Not only arc the men represented
particularly by Joseph f. Smith break
ing the law day after day, week in
and week out, and one year after an
other, but there arc hundreds of new
polygamous Mormons who are doubly
guilty, since they have committed their
crimes after the question was supposed
to have been settled by the Woodruff
manifesto of 1890. And all of these

THE HYPOCRISY AND LIES.

AS evidence of the falsebood which
was utilized in order to cover up the
inception of polygamy, we have lit
tie matter that is taken from the Mil
lennia Star. volume 6, page %. At a
general conference Of the British Nor
mon mission, held at Manchester in the
year 1916. two years after the death
of Joseph Smith. Farley p, Pratt made
the following emphatic announcements;
Such doctrine Lpolygamyl is not
held: known, or practiced as a prlnci-
pie of the Lattcr-day Saints, II is but
another name for whoredom. and is as
foreign from the real principles OF the
church as the devil is from God, or as
scctarianism is from Christianity.
Yet the present head of the church
saws that the doctrine was revealed 10
Joseph in the early thirtIcs; that while
he did not then make 1T known to but
a few of his close friends In the church
be later taught it to many; that he
took several plural. wives, and that
none was so fearless in setting The
polygamous example as was Joseph.
But here we have Farley p. Pratt deny
ing Luc uUtillUt dHl DldIIItt, do "cll
as dcnouncing it in the severcst terms
rs the very essence Of immortality Par
ley p. Pratt was himself polygamist-
if not in 1916, very shortly afterwards.
History shows that he became so
wrapped up in this manner of lascivious.
ness that he stole another man 8 wife,
and was slain by the outraged hus
band for his crime John Taylor de-
MED polygamy, while at the moment
he had several wives. Joseph and Hy-
rum Smith denied it officially over
their own signatures. while Joseph +.
Smith declares that they were possessed
of numerous conjugal partners. The
women of the relief society at Nauvoo
denied it, and some Of them later
swore in court that at the very moment
of their signatures to the denial they
were polygamous wives.
That polygamy is rampant in the
Mormon church today is undoubtedly |
true, and the denials made by the News
and speakers and officials in the church |
count for absolutely nothing, because
they are as malicIously false as were |
he old denials. which are now confessed |
oy the church itself to have been lies
IF the most deliberate order.

he placed under the borrowing clause
of the constitution. Therefore. he has
offered an amendment, providing that
the deposits made in these banks shall
be invested in United States bonds.
II Is evident that unless the borrow
ing clause Of the constitution will cover
this objection made TO the bill. there ia
despair of finding in that instrument
any basis for its enactment. If Sen.
ator Root and others who hold with him
should oppose tho bill because of the
lack of authority in the constitution for
its enactment, il is not likely that the
bill could pass.
On The other hand, those who arc es.
pccially urging the bill, see i'm this
Root amendment its defeat. For, as
they believe, the postal deposits would
very soon be sufficient to take up all
the bonds of the United States, and
there would be none of them left TO
serve as the basis of national bank
1t is inconceivable, OF
course. that the Government should
make special issues of bonds in time
IF peace, merely to take up the saw
ngs bank deposits, without any need

The dilemma thus presented is a very
serious one. 1t is not question in the
cast of argument. or Of academic hypo-
hesis, but is a pressing, practical diff |
iculty that is almost certain to defeat

nconstitutionallty, and second, the |
of putting it into prac-
ical operation if ii is passed with the

orns of the dilemma. it is altogether
kcly that tho postal savings bank prop.
sition will fail in the Senate.
The proposition TO enact such stat
te as this is entirely unprecedented in
ho history Of the country, and il such
law should be passed and its consti-

IDAHO ENGINEERS PROTEST.

At the recent meeting Of The Idah,
Society of Engineers, held in Boise
action was taken protesting against th,
bill now pending before Congress fo
the repeal of the timber and stone act
and providing for the sale Of timber
separate and apart from the land itself
Mr.. Maurice M. Myers submitted tc
the meeting letter of his TO Mr.
Charles z. Jones, editor of the Idahc
World, in remembrance Of his effective
work in arouslng the people in tho
Boise basin 10 the danger of such en-
continuance of work to the same end
Section of the bill referred to pro
vides as follows:
That the lands affected by this act ma,
he disposed of under the mineral or Goa
der the provisions OF the homestead laws
but no right. tltlc or Interest in or &c
the timber thereon shall be claimed OIL
acquired under any mineral location oil
under any patent issued Hereunder: noi
shall such location, entry or patent pre-
cudc the purchaser of the timber or the
land covered thereby from the right to
may be necessary 10 the cutting and re-
moval or TO the sale or milling Of the
timber.
That the enactment of legislation like
this would be a hardship upon the min
derstands the practical business of min,
ing. 1T is said that this bill was in
troduced as one Of the conservation
measures favored by the administration.
On this. Mr.. Myers makes the comment,
eff such bill can masquerade under
the guise of conservation, then surely.
conservation, like charity, must cover
multitude Of sins. -
From the first prospecting and min
ing in all this western country, Con-
grcss has safeguarded the prospector
and the miner with steady care. Con-
gress knows and everybody knows that
without timber no one can explore the
veins and lodcs. and with this always
in mind, Congress has always given
the miner not only the timber upon his
claim, but also all other timbers he
needs TO be taken from unappropriated
government land. But this so-called con-
servation measure would not only allow
of the selling away from him of the
timber on his own claims, but also the
timber on all adjoining public lands
Not only would the easement given to
the purchaser of timber often be very
serious trespass upon the mine itself,
but when it is recalled further that the
timber purchaser has twenty years on
which to remove his timber from the
land, with the use and occupancy of
the land all that time. the right of the
miner to control his lands, or the right
Of any one else to control land, merely
bought as land, is put in serious
jeopardy.
The protest formulated and forwarded
by tho Idaho Society of Engineers, with
the suggestion that other Western
States Join in the protest to their mem.
bers of Congress, is as follows:
