POLYGAMY A GREAT
MENACE
DIR. Stevenson Tells of the
Political as Well as Moral
Menace of Mormonism.

At the Presbyterian church last
evening the pastor, DR.. Stevenson,
delivered a timely address on the
Mormon church and its attitude tcE =
ard the national government.
There isl he said, within the
bounds of the United States a he'll
arcty called a church that numbers
no less than $4,000 slavishly obedi-
ent members that are pledged to
the overthrow of this national gov
eminent" In supporting that state
ment he quoted the sO-called Blood
Covenant" taken by every male Nor
mon before he is given full rights in
the church And this is the cover-
ant: Il do promise and vow that l
will pray for and never cease to i'm
perfume high heaven to avenge the
blood of the prophets upon this ma
ton, and that l will teach this to my
children and my children's children
to the third and fourth generation. y
Bishop Lund says, I'VE look Harvard
with perfect confidence to the day
when we will hold the reins of the
United State government. When Utah
is admitted we will hold the balance
of power and dictate to the country. y
There lives in Salt Lake City one
Joseph Smith, man who is of medl-
OGRE attainments, who controls fif-
teen congressman and fifteen cleo
toral votes. He was cOurted by
Roosevelt and is now enjoying the
friendship of President Taft, not
withstanding the fact that he is liv-
ing in open polygamy with no less
than five plural wives.
This is in direct and open opposi-
ton to the seventh commandment,
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Polygamy, as an institution, was to
be banished from Utah when Utah
was admitted, and all the Norman
leaders signed an agreement that
they would put away all their wives
except one This they have not done
and if Utah had her rights she would
be denoted and placed in the terri
torial ranks again.
The Mormon church teaches that
church and state should be united in
the Mormon church. This is in di-
rect opposition to the words of Christ
who says, Render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars, and unto
God the things that are Gods"
meaning that there is temporal and
there is a spiritual rule.
1.-The remedy that l would suggest
is that when the United States con-
stitution should be amended so as to
provide for the initiative and refer
endum and recall, that there should
at that time be placed in the consti
tuition an amendment that would
make polygamy a crime and an in
fraction of the federal laws. This
would eradicate 1t from our nation
and at once take polygamy out of
Mormonism, and the Mormon church
would then fall Of it's own weight"

STOCKS NOT HURT
BY19HE MESSAGE


New York. January 7.--Nearly all active
stocks declined in Wall street today after
the publication of the Presidents mes
sage. but the decline seemed to be rather
coincidence than a sequel, for stocks
had begun to fall In the forenoon and
there was no visible accentuation of the
downward movement in the closing
hours.
The street as a whole professed to be
favorably impressed. but such comment
as was made was perfunctory inasmuch
as there has been such wide consultation
and such free preliminary discussion of
the message that its recommendations
had been largely discounted in advance
what most pleased the street was the
assurance that corporations respecting the
law need not fear for the future.
In view of the Presidents declaration
in his recent western speeches that he
was in favor of prohibiting at an early
date even minority holdings by one rail-
road in the stock of a competitor the
milder phrasing of the message, which
recommends that no road be permitted In
the future to acquire the stock of a
competitor was commented on
Opinion on the advisability of a federal
charter was divided.

by Hubert Latham, the French avia-
tor. The height reached was between
1850 and 100 meters, or between 34OO
and 5000 feet which is nearly 1000 feet
better than the record previously hefsi

greater than the marks made unofficial
ly by orville Wright and Louis Paul
han.
Excellent weather and a favorable
wind favored Latham's attempt. In all
the aviator flew about 40 miles
The official record for altitude at
tained in an aeroplane is held by
Hubert Latham, although owing to the
difficulty in measuring flights there Is
discrepancy as to the exact height
reached by him. Latham is variously
accredited with an elevation of about
1000 and 1900 feet.

HEAVY DEPOSITS

Cleveland o., January 7.-More than
$500, 600 of depositors' money in the South
Cleveland bank was lent by President
Ulysses Grant walker to the Werner
company of Akron after Walker learned
that the big publishing house was on the
verge of failure, according to President
Walker himself.
The South Cleveland Banking company
made an assignment yesterday following
the appointment OF a receiver the day be-

the bank had a capital of but N50,000, It
contained deposits amounting to $2.0o0,ovv

TOBACCO GROWERS

or repeal it. The growers of toba.co
are in for fight to the finish and the
fact that the fight may be long and de-
termined in no wise affects their pur-
poses"
The foregoing is the concluding para
graph in statement issued by officials
of the Burley Tobacco society tonight
the statement being drawn out by re-
cent rumors from Washington that the
federal government is preparing to make
an investigation of the society on the
ground that 1t is a trust.
Averring that all of the issues that
could be raised by the federal govern
ment have already been raised in suits
and those now pending in the federal
courts, the statement also says:
THE Burley Tobacco society is quite
willing to have its status tested in the
federal courts as in the state courts.
The society believes that it no wise con-
travenes provisions of the Sherman an
THRUST law and it just as confidently
believes that ends for which the society
contends will not be surrendered should
any court find the society in conflict with
this law.
This is not meant in any spirit of
defying the law, but in justification OF
the natures and purposes of that law
