SENATOR GORE MAKING GOOD.

According TO the recent dispatches,
Senator Gore is emphatically making
good on his charge that brbc was
Offered him il he would cease his oppo
sition to the three million dollar claim
of McMnrray and his fellow workers.
McMurray was TO get three million dol
lars on account of his agency in selling
he Indian coal and oil lands. The fee
was so extra raordinary and excessive that
it attracted attention at once and was
objected to by the President and also
by others in high station in Washing
ton. ------ -..---
And yet, according to the testimony
taken on Tuesday, the very objection of
the President was used bv the adroit
manipulators, and made to show in their
favor, The representations they made
10 the Indians that it was necessary to
get this enormous fee for the purpose
of buying up members Of Congress are
disclosed in that testimony. Presi-
dent Taft IS name is used by the con
spirators. and he is commended for his
letter disappearing plan to reopen the
tribal rolls and his approval of settling
the Indian land question. This was
held by the McMurray crowd to be an
endorsement of their position; but OF
course the President never intended
anything Of the kind by that letter. The
rascality is made plain by the testi-
mony of the Indians, where it is shown
that agents Of McMurray pleaded with
the Indians, to forward letters and tcle-
grams urging settlement on the McMur-
ray basis, this being shown TO the In
dians as necessary because McMurray
had to pay so much for each vote which
he bought in Congress.
Now that the name of President Taft
has been brought into the case by the
documentary exhibits of the consplra-
tors themselves, there will perhaps be
less said about Score s charges against
Vice President sherman In fact, as
everybody of intelligence knows. Sena-
tor Gore made no charges whatever
against Vice. President Sherman, bnt
merely gave Shcrman's name in re-
sponse to the demand of the COMMITTEES
that he give such names as the would
be briber gave him in support of his
proposition that high officials were IN
terested in the McMurray CLAIM. Sena'
tor Gore made no charges whatever
against Vice. President Sherman. He
makes none against President Taft,
Those charges came from the McMurray
side altogether, both first and last,
AS we have stated heretofore we be-
lieve that Senator Gore told the exact
truth throughout this whole matter, and
in the interests of decency and fair
nlav we are glad to see that he is max
ing good in the testimony.

Just as he pleases. indicating to the
world that so far as he is concerned
there might as well be no claw of
God - for his church or its adherents.
The plain fact is that the prerense
to heavenly origin for Mormonism is
simply used as defense against at
tack on account of wronGdoing in de.
iiance of heaven. While doing the
works of the devil it is impossible for
Joseph f. Smith or anyone else TO serve
the Lord, and it is merely lying hy-
pocrisy to pretend to do so.

IT'S PERVERTED TWIsTINas.

The church organ last night had for
its leading editorial composition on
% Danger in Agitation ~ The stress of
the article was mined against those who
take the law into thcir own hands or
whose agitation results in community
evil such as the attempt TO assassinate
the Mayor of New York, and other
evils that may fall npon a community
or upon right acting officials through
evil talk, But as usual the cowardly
sneak of writer switched over to the
other side before he closed, and gave
place to the following paragraph,
But If the chief really is concerned
about 'defamatory and anarchistic ut
terances. his attention Is respectfully
called 10 the chief source OF defamation
flowed vllo flood OF abuse upon some of
the best men OF this community. and
upon Church that has every right un-
der the American flag that any other
church has, That the incendIary utter
ances have not long ago caused a tragedy
is not due to the modesty OF that source
Of vilification. That 1t has caused i'm
mense financial loss to the City. is ad-
mitted by all The chief should seriously
consider that matter. II Is no use strain
ing at gnat and swallowing a camel.
The chief referred to is, Of course,
the chief Of police, in whose hands the
News thinks the power OF suppression
might be dangerous. The News is the
organ of lawlessness, Of vice, of graft,
and of unrestrained, law-defying cccles-
iastical rule. The fact that it applies
the ideas and maxims that are current
in community life elsewhere against
anarchy and against tho lawless and
law wdefying class, twisting them To the
service of that very class In this com
munlty, is n conspicuous instance of its
mole-hke blindness when considering
any question relating to the Mormon
church organization or the methods OF
It's leaders. The very maXims and pleas
urged in support of law and order. it
priests who spurn the law and defy the
DEGREES of God. Any one of normal mind
would hesitate at applying the safe
guards and restrictions that are due
TO right official life and putting them
at the service Of a lawless gang of
usurpers, But that is the usual prac.
tice of the News, and this practice dis
closes also. the fact that the News con
sidered the real and rightful rulers of
this community to be the ecclesiastical
rulers, and none others. That is the
central and traditional church idea The
News reverts to it unconsciously in It's
plea as above where it urges the usual
safeguards of the community and of
official life in favor Of the lawless
class; those who would break down the
restrictions of the law and would per.
petuate theocratic dominance in tins
region that is alike unlawful, injurious
un justified, and contrary to the whole
idea Of n republican form Of govern
ment. While being a stiff supporter OF
ecclesiastical rule, the church organ as
blindly anarchistic and thorough going
therein as regards the civic rule estab
lished by the people for themselves
without respect TO priestly authority
in the control of their civic affairs.

TAUGHT IT AS FROM GOD.

With respect to the denial made by
the peseret News that the Mormon
church teaches polygamy, it may be
we'll at this time to refer back to the
testimony of President Brigham H.
Roberts in the Smoot case. The gentle
man referred to is well known for his
ability to state his views, conclusions
or theories in such a manner as to carry
his meaning to the mind of hls auditor
And he was particularly strong III TINS
facility when he explained the effect OF
Mormon teaching on the special line
here indicated. The matter we quote
is to be found in the official Govern
ment report in the Smoot case, volume
|, page III. Mr.. Roberts admitted that
he was a polygamlst in defiance OF the
law of the land. and he showed the IN
centive TO his lawbreaking in the fol
lowing language;

and hence / accepted that doctriac and

The same teaching that melted Elder

law is before the Mormon youth of to-
day. In spite of the fact that the

teaching that it was righteous 1t is
fair to assume that the effect Of that
teaching upon Mr. Roberts Will be

men of the present time, He believed
that the doctrine was from God because
