CHURCH ORGANS DUPLICITY.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
public is aware of what is the actual
situation in respect to certain burn
ing question here, the Deserct News
has the impudence TO utter such as the
following, which appeared in its issue
of July 20, 1909:
The truth is that the church neither
teaches nor encourages polygamy; nor any
kind of immortality. Very few. Illegal
marriages have been contracted in Utah,
since the manifesto. by church members.
But The Tribune claims that
hundreds OF such marriages have been
contracted. We do not believe II. There
may have been some such unions.
Rumor- bearers and scandal -moneers have
said so.
The truth is decidedly that the Nor
mon church does teach polygamy in one
employ, 1t promulgates the command
ment 10 the practice in the Doctrine
and Covenants, it's official doctrnal law
book. 1t teaches it through the fire.
aucnt declarat tions Of its chiefs that
the principle is believed in now Just
as much as it ever was by the Mormon
people 1t teaches it in instructions
given to departing missionaries that if
the doctrine be assailed they are to de-
| fend it.
The church decidedly does encourage
the practice of polygamy, because it
7, does not discipline men and women who
engage in it. Encouragement to the
practice is given in the preferment
shown for men who have broken the
law The church actually incites tc
polygamy by its silence when its atten
tion is drawn to the hundreds of eases
of new polygamy that have been per
petrated without interference.
| The church does encourage immoral
ity, because polygamy is immortality OF
the grossest order, and for the Other
reasons stated in the two preceding
paragraphs.
1t is untrue that every few illega
marriages have been contracted since
the manifesto by church members. W.
have printed the names OF one hundred
and forty-four such offenders, manv OF
whom have committed anywhere from
two 10 four offenses. That list doe
not represent one in ten of them. Tht

'BY THEIR FRUITS

Nothing but what is good, noble and

are inseparable from anything into
which human element enters, - is what
the Deseret News says grows out of
present-day Mormonism.
Mormonism S effects are best exem-
pliGed an the conduct of its chief ex-
ponents. That is the source TO which all
men will look for enlightenment with
respect TO that assertion. If there is
any quarter in which the effects of Nor.
monism should be most pronouucedly
exhibited. it is in its chief exponents
That is fair rule of iudgmeut--it is
the only rule that should be applied
or that can practically be applied, mas
much as it is assumed that the foun.

According to the News, then, to com
nit immortality is to be good; to bring
into the world illegitimate children i:

THE GROWING ROSTER.

The Tribune has six additional
names which it herewith respectfully
presents for insertion in the evcr-in-
creasing list of Mormon new polyga-
mists.
Elder George Nacgley of Oaxaca,
Mexico, is one of the old and new po-
lygamists. He has had, all told. five
plural wives, but only one of them has
been taken since the manifesto of
1890. That one he married in the year
1904. and she was Miss Scott be-
fore she plunged into the Naegley
harem.
Elder Benjamin johnson of Chua-
hupa, Mexico, took a third wife in the
year 1901. She was Miss Russell,
and was induced to become a partner
to the Johnson crime through fear that
elsewise she would not gain her de-
sired exaltation.
Elder Thomas Romney is Of Morelos
Mexico, and is a son of the late Miles
P. Romney and a brother Of the living
new polygamous Miles A. Romney. He
married second wife in 1907; but Just
now, and at this great distance. it is
impossible to learn her name That,
however, may appear Ill our next ad
vices.
An Elder Spencer of Dublan Mexico
married a plural wife in Arizona in
about 1897, soon afterwards moving to
their present place of residence.
Elder Ernest Turley of Juarez, Mex.
leo, married two sisters from Oaxaca
Mexico. by the name of Wilson. They
were both daughters of Elder David
Wilson, The second wife was Maize
who WAS the widow Of man named
Cluff. This Maize Wilson was pluraIly
married to Elder Turley in the year
1908.
Elder Chris. Brainholt went from
Juarez, Mexico, on a mission to Den
mark In the year 1900 returning in
1908, Along with him he brought q
buXom Danish lass whom he immedi
ately annexed to his household in the
manner usually adopted by Mormon ce
lestiall2ers. Elder Brainholt, tn,

over the matter, though, for the son:

THE SHOOTING OF MR.. aAYNoR.

The whole country WAS startled YES
terday by the sensational news that
Mayor Gaynor of New York City had
been assassinated, Fortunately, later
accounts gave good hope of the Mayor
fully recovering and that his wound i:
not likely to cripple him in any way
The man who shot him was a dis
charged employee; a man who lost his
place, as the dispatches say, through
misconduct and neglect of duty. This
makes the case all the worse. II was
bad enough, in all conscience, to take
revenge for discharge, but when man
asserts the right TO employment when
he neglects his duty and misconducts
himself, then the crime Of vengeance
us right is atrocious and revolving to
every sense of human obligation, There
is no right of public employment save
services and the law, and neglect of
duty or misconduct, as alleged against
this attempted assassin, is a cause for
discharge from any sort of employ.
ment
Mayor Gaynor is q distinguished cx.
ample OF the right man IN the right
place, doing civic duty on high plane
and on large scale as Mayor of New
York He has done wonders in purify.
lng the municipal work of that city. He
has discharged barnacles by the hun

and employments that were no longer

law, He had been on the bench, and
as q clear, impartial and sturdy eXpon-
cnt Of the law had made fame which
was as creditable to him as 1T was dis"
tingnished and fully recognized. AS
Mayor he is in a fair way to eclipse
even his Just fame upon the bench.
1t would have been nothing less than
a public calamity if the attempt to as
sassinnte Mayor Gaynor had succeeded.
Every one of right mind must rejoice
that the Mayor S prospect of recovery

matter of locality cuts no figure what
ever in the summary. The employment
of the term Sin Utah. was only for
the purpose of leaving n loophole of
escape in case the statement OF the
News should be challenged with sue
cess-which it has been and is.
The Tribune has not only "claimed
that hundreds OF such marriages have
been conJracted' but il has demon
strated the truth Of that claim. Neither
the News nor any man accused of
polygamY in these columns has dared
to deny the charge. The church organ
and the culprits have maintained II
guilty silence on the subject Instead
OF paying merited attention to the
growing evil, the News comes out with
the hypocritical and lying assertion Gas

propaganda of the church " elevates
man and woman to a nobility that ad,
mits them into the courts of heaven
and that ''it is the defender of the
home.'
With crime rampant and the Grim

favored throughout the Mormon
