THE DRIFT TO LoosENEsS.

The Mormon church leaders protest
that they do not know of the new po"
lygamous marriages: that these are not
entered into with the connlyance or
consent of the church. They are, how
ever, necessarily entered into under the
authority of the church teachings and
revelations.
Undoubtedly there is a good deal of
secrecy maintained with respect to
these new polygamous marriages. I'm
doubtedly some of the leading men IN
the church are opposed to them; but 1T
is practically sure that President Jo-
seph F. Smith is not.
The idea of polygamy doubtless origi'
mated in the mind of Joseph Smith
from the Fouricrite doctrine of free
love, and doubtless there was more
or less of this practiccd in the orgies
held in the Kirkland temple and else
where. in the early days of the church.
Then Brigham Young tried TO regulate
it as an ecclesiastical rite here in Utah,
and obtained for a while more or less
Con the whole, rather impcrfect) sue
cess in so doing. Later, however, the
looseness more and more crept in, and
the church, while necessarily RESPONSE
BILE for the irregularity, could not re-
strain it. After the prerense of giving
up polygamy and unlawful cohabita-
tior on the foundation of the manifesto
Of $780, the looseness got worse and
worse. until now it is almost openly
avowed as to the so called marital re-
ation, being entered into practically
by the consent of the principals in
volved. We hear, indeed, that Moses
TAYLOR III priesthood meeting in the
Granite stake not long ago, said that
whore n man and woman consented to
the lelat .on, it was I'll light; but he
conditioned that proposition on the pro-
viso that on the death of either the
survivor in such case should 20 to the
temple and be sealed to tie irregular
marital partner who had died. OF
course, as to that subsequent sealing in
the temple, there would be no violation
of the law and no possibility for prose
cution.
And that seems to be about the way
in which this villainy is shaping, The
church leaders profess that they do not
know about it and do not authorize it.
and yet it is going on multifarously all
the time. Under what conditions? Evi-
dently the most irregular that can be
conceived, with no possible basis in law
and without the open sanction of the
church, on whose authority the whole
base is founded, In short, free love in
its most wretched phase.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT7

In the Judging Of any religion s real
value, there are two divisions into
which the questions may be classified.
one as to the religion S power for
good in this life, and the other con-
ceruing the hereafter. Most creeds
claim that their rules and doctrines are
of value both 10 this life and the next
world. These claims are made by the
Mormon church. SO far as the next
world is concerned it is not worth while
TO discuss their sensual, degraded no.
tlons But the temporal side of any
church should be an open, debatable
proposition,
Has the Mormon church succeeded
in making it's adherents any happier
than they would be under other
churches1 The answer is self.evident-
ly, no. There is no set of people in the
world who have endured more sor-
row. distress, privation, and humilia-
ton than have the Mormons. Today
they are no happier than other people,
while the hundreds of new and old
polygamy cases give but glimpse of
the degradation into which they have
been cast.
Are they any more healthy? No
more so than any other set of people
would be, living an agricultural life
in mountainous country, where they
were obliged to labor hard and live
close to Nature.
Have they produced any men Of great
genius who have brought the world any
new conveniences or new knowledge of
earthly affairs? None.
Are Mormons free from any or all
of the common weaknesses that beset
The average citizen? No, they rob,
steal, lie. swear, and do all manner of
things that are known in the world
at large.
| Do Mormons live the pure and simple
life, being humble and altruistic7 They
live the simple life when they have to
! do so, and so far as the altruism is

where the person is sure TO die. they
then dedicate him to the next world
There are many instances when this
dedication has been performed wherein
the afflicted recovered and there are
thousands of eases where the apostles
have formed prayer circles, have gone
through the ceremonies of laying on of
hands, and still the sick died, the dedi-
eating not taking place until the fu
neral. 1t is curious business and causes
one to wonder at the simple trust of the
adherents. But the new thought cults,
Christian Science, Emmanuelism, and
many other faith-cure organizations,
are taking away the former value of
the Melchizedeks claims.
1t is one of the principal holds the
leaders have on the average Mormon,
and as they well know, it is a death
grip tho way they teach it, with the
success which follows such teachings.
Ia times Of illness and sorrow, great
impression is made on the mind by
whatever transpires, and it is very easy
to convince the sick sufferer that there
is some mysterious power possessed by
but few whereby he may recover. AS
all those saints who are i'll have the
elders administer to them, and, ms all
do not die who are afflicted with dis
ease and what not, many can say that
they have had the elders lay on hands
and have recovered, Many creeds and
Isms have some sort Of formalitles
whereby health is given to those who
are IN dire need thereof, but the Nor
mon system. as preached by lecherous
priesthood. is about the limit for child
