opinion may be expressed from that
given of his business ability-in fact,
very different opinion is most Wig
orously expressed by nearly half the
people in Utah itself. When l was
in Salt Lake City five years ago, I
found the Daily Tribune (Which is,
l believe. the city's leading paper)
red-hot in its denunciation Of the
Mormon Church, and 1 bought
copy of it yesterday to find its feel
ings as intense as ever, one of it's
leading editorials giving long list
of prominent Mormon leaders who
have more or less openly violated the
anti-polygamy law by taking plural
wives within the last few years.
With religion as religion and as a
matter of conscience, the American
Government and the American peo-
pie rightly have nothing to do, but
the separation of church and State
must work both ways, and when the
Mormon Church enters as actively
into politics as it was shown to do
in the Reed Smoot trial, and as it
seems have done in the alleged sale
of the United States Senatorship to
the Irish miner Kearns, it becomes
matter of no small concern to all
patriotic citizens. 1t is also charged
that the Mormon leaders are becom-
ing perniciously active in Wyoming
politics also.
An Intimate Glimpse of Brigham
Young.
My friend aforementioned knew
Brigham Young's son-I mean e
pluribus unum: this one, however,
son by his first wife. This son had
no confidence in Brigham, whom he
did not even call father. He assert
ed that no one really knew how
many wives the Mormon leader had:
II he fancied a single woman seen
at one of his meetings, she soon
learned that she was to be a bride of
the Lords anointed, while if the
woman he liked happened to be mar
rled, the husband would probably
get "the large envelope" ordering
him on far-away mission for the
church. Young Young also asserted
that the numerous Mrs. Brighams
by no means dwelt in the reported
heavenly harmony, but participated
frequently in outbreaks that were
poth hair-raising and hair-snatching.

Topeka Hombre to declare an interest
