selves in their superstition that If no
criticism is permitted in the cases Of
their superiors in the church, surely
they themselves are not to be repre-
hended for having followed the ex-
alted example. These young women
have learned that many of their &C.
clesiastical chiefs have broken the
pledge made To the Nation that there
should be no more plural marriages in
the church; and because there has been
no action by the church against these
offenders, and because no one is per-
mitted to criticize them. the young
ladies are encouraged in the belief that
they also have the right to marry
polygamously in this day if they choose
to do so.
The ''mind your own business
policy Of the chiefs of the Mormon
cult has been the cause of many sins.
and 1t is the principal bulwark behind
which the later polygamous criminals
find defense of their crimes by suppress
sion of the facts in each case There
are now a larger number of young men
in polygamy in the Mormon church
than there ever were before, and it
may fairly be said that the larger
factor IN their encouragement has been

there was incentive for the Smoot ac-
ton In both instances, inconsistent as
they are when placed side by side
Smoot knew that if it could be shown
that he was in connivance with the
two offending apostles. he would be
placed in bad odor before the country

der to save his political self he made u
showing of indignation against these
apostolic lawbreakers. He sought to
preserve his political chances by con-
demning two apostles. and he failed and
refused to complain against the presi-
dent of the church for the samo pnr-
pose. He knew that if he spoke one
word of condemnation against Joseph
+. Smith there would havo been no
need for the Senate TO further concern
itself as to whether or not he should
hold his seat in that body. Joseph +.

THE PRICE OF SILVER.

The sharp advance in silver was a
surprise, as sudden as it was crafty
ing, to the silver producers of this re.
gion. There was little explanation of
it at this time, save that the Orient
was in better shape to take silver now
than heretofore, chiefly on account of
the cheering reports OF crop prospects
in India. After the first advance,
there was a slight retrogression, but
still the price rules much higher than
before the drop caused by the increased
import tax levied by the government

Does
Thrift Pay?

No one in his senses would
expect a negative answer IN
words to this question. Yet,
how many answer ''No" TO it
in acts. They live "No" be-
cause it has become a habit
with them 10 drift aimlessly
spending what they make.
Men along in years find it
difficult to change their habits.
If they began as wastrels they
will likely continue as such TO
the end, probably dying in pc
nury.
1t is easy for the young man
to cultivate the habit Of thrift
and, once SO strengthened, q
competency is within measura-
BILE distance for him. The
young man who desires fortune
should register his ambition by
opening an account with some
strong bank that desires the
business of young men, know

ginning, but that it will inev-
itably grow to imposing pro.
portions.

SHOOTS EQUIvocATIoN.

il it is true, as Senator Albert j.
Hopkins said. that Reed Smoot repre-
sents the younger and better clement of
the Mormon church, then that element
is placed In an unenviable position be-
fore the world Mr.. Smoot was exam
ined in Washington upon his attitude to-
ward Joseph f. Smith. selfconfessed
lawbreaker, and committed himself as
follows (see volume 5, page 2S7):
The Chairman.-Have you protested
against his living in polygamous cohabi-
tation?
Senator Smoot-I have not.
The Chairman.-Have you in any way
sought 10 bring him to trial for those
offenscs2
Senator Smoot.-I have not
The Chairman.-Do YOU intend to?
Senator Smoot.-I do not.
The Chairman.-You not only did not
reprimand President Smith for his con-
duct. but You sustained him in October
last In a public assembly,
Senator Smoot.-When he was present
ed to lie voted upon as president of the
church 1 voted for him as such.
It being altogether impossible TO seq
regate the Smoot personality-that is,
to say that at one moment he is an
apostle Of the Mormon church and at
another he is United States Senator,
and always two distinct cmbodlmcnts--
we necessarily find that Smoot the
lawmaker is III conniving partnership p
with Smith the lawbrcaker. AS Sen
ator, sworn to maintain the Constitu-
ton, the laws and the dignity of the
United States, Smoot is persistently and
deliberately q repudiator of his oath
Of office. That presentation of the mat
ter is SO plain, under his own admis-
sions at Washington, that there should
be no need for arguing it out to even
the most dull of comprehension.
But there is one phase of the situa-
tion that may require a little atten-
tion. 1t exposes the eyasive nature of
the defense so often made by Mormon
high officials In attempted e1tenuation
of their moral turpitude or their lack
of respect for law and sentiment Smoot
would say Gas. indeed. he did say at
Washington) that it is not his place to
make ecclesiastical complaint against
Smith. But the excuse does not hold
water, in the light of other statements
made by him in the course of his ex-
animation. Speaking concerning the
polygamous offenses committed by
Apostles John w. Taylor and Matthias
=. Cowley, with whom Smoot was close
~ associated as he was with Joseph T.
Smith. he declared that he had made
complaint against them and had caused

eases, Sf his assertion that he has no
