WAS A PUT-UP JOB.

The evasive explanation given by
Governor Spry of the extremely indis
erect utterance that Apostle Smoot
made upon the launching of the battle
ship Utah is no doubt the official YER
sion which the church officials will
stick TO in regard to that matter;
but it will not be accepted by the pub.
lie. The smirking remark which Smoot
made in regard TO the ''happy coinci'
dence'' between the launching OF the
battleship Utah and the anniversary
of the birth of "the prophet occur
ring on the same date is so well AT.
tested (and so sharply replied to at
the time by two persons named), that
he will hardly bo able TO squirm out
Of it. Probably he had no idea of tho
resentment that the people OF the East
would display over his extremely big
oted and ill.placed remark. A sample
of the way in which his "break' is
taken in the East is the following edI
torial paragraph from the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican,;

the remark OF Senator Smoot; 'lsn't 1
il a happy coincidence that this aus
picious launching of a great battlcship
called Utah should be made on the am

guished manner,
Our Eastern contemporary, and with
out doubt its view will be generally en-.
dorsed, is of the opinion that there was
no coincidence about it, but a sneak
ing little Job put up by the Mormon
authorities to make it appear like Il
coincidence. And Smoot was so happy
over the success of the trick that he
had to give the whole snap away in his
eXurberancc, right then and there.

A VALUABLE SUMMARY.

There will be issued today from the
headquarters of the Weather Bureau
IN this city a meteorological summary
Of the weather which has prevailed here
during the year 1909. 1t will set forth
in detail and in minute form all the
weather phenomena of the year, II
will be sent to schools and colleges and
TO various State institutions and 10 the
several Libraries. 1t will also he dis
tributed gratuitously to those interest
ed in the study of weather conditions,
on application.
This summary is one Of very great
interest and value, and the Weather
Bureau is deserving of great credit
for preparing it in such popular, prac-
tical, and accurate form, and allowing
the public TO have the benefit of the
labor devoted to the data supplied. 1t
is right good work, well done; and
the public should, and doubtless will,
recognize it as such,

THEIR CRUELTY TO WOMEN.

Perhaps there is no other one thing
Mormon church are more boastful than
they are of their pretended great re-
spect for women, and the tender care
which they exercise over them. Upon
this point we have short quotation
from sermon delivered by President
Heber G.. Kimball, July -, 1857 Gin the
very hey-day period of the polygamous
practice in Utah), as we find it in vol
umc ) Of the Journal of Discourscs,
page 2s, as follows:
What! sustain woman. wife. in
preference TO sustaining the prophet Jo-
seph. Brother Brigham and his breth-
rem, Your religion is vain when you take
IF YOU will sustain Brigham in prefer
encc 10 me. will leave you l should
reply Leave. and be damncd"' and that
very quickly. That Is part OF my re-
ligion-"Leavc quickly, YOU poor snoop"
Heber c, was probably the bluntcst
speaker there was in the Mormon
church at that time; but il must be said
Of him that his bluntness at least had
the effect Of exposing the real senti-
ments of the church leaders upon vari
Gus subjects. In this matter Of dealing
with the women who had beon dragged
into the polygamous trap, he was fore
most among the hierarchs in express
sing the contempt felt for their victims.
In fact, the matter given above is ex
trcmely mild in comparison with some
of his utterances-many Of which are
so absolutely filthy that if reproduced
in The Tribune there would be danger
of exclusion Of this paper from the
United States mails. 1t was very often
the case that Heber would air his fam
lily rows on the tabernacle stand, hu
initiating his families i'm most shame
ful manner. He seemed TO have the
particular mission of chastisiug women
generally in behalf Of his own tyranny
and for the benefit Of his associates
in the polygnmous cult who desired to
plant the iron heel of oppression upon
the necks of their numerous wives
through the intimidation and implied
threats constantly carried in Hebcr's
outbursts He was sort of polyga-
nous whip, so employed because of his
particularly Implying brutishncss. One
of his wives was known to often lenve
the meeting when he arose to speak.
However, not all the blame for such
cruel treatment must be piled upon the
head of Hcber C.-the others were
equally offensive in this respect, only
they didn t dare to bIurt ii out us he
did. .Polygamy means matrimonial slav.
cry, no less today than in the time of
Hcber G., Kimba1l and the other in
PRODUCERS of the practice in Utah. Mem
bers of that cult have in their hearts
no more respect for women than they
have for the beasts of the feld-and,
indeed, in the majority of cases they
arc more cruel to the one and less un
kind TO the other.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-01-03

he had encouraged in his followers now
turned upon him IN fanatical blood
thirstiness, Fancying that in the de
struction of the organ Of the seceders
he had deprived them of the power TO
make further exposition of his course, he
unwisely had scaled his own doom-as
Mr. Hay says, that act constituted his
death warrant IL was but few
days until he and his brother Hyrum
wero bullet.toru corpses at Carthage
Had not these events occurred within
the Mormon community at Nauvoo it
goes without saying that the tragedy
of Carthage would not have happened
And if that dreadful event had found
postponcmcnt for but a day the whole
situation might have so changed as to
have made it impossible at all; because
Joseph was already beginning to sec his
mistakes, and to repent of them, and
given time he may have made such
amends as would have permitted him to
live to die pcaceable and natural
death,
One observation made by Mr. Hay is
worthy of particular note. 1T is that
with respect to the excuse set forth in
the Nauvoo Ncigbbor for the destruc
tion of the Expositor plant. That er
cuse was identically similar with that
which has been made by the Mormon
lawbreakers from that day to this. Com
mitting crimes under the guse Of re-
iigion, they cried persecution when
these crimes were pointed out and an
effort was made to punish them, They
screeched that their rights as Americans
were being abrogated or taken away
from them. All they wanted was TO be
'let alone y in their iniquitY, demand
ing such uudeservcd peace under the
Constitution, which guarantees no man
the right to break the law, even if he
does call it religion. ''You arc per-
scouting us! Let us alone!' How
familiar these cries, even at the pres
cnt time!
AS we said at the opening of this
article, Mr., Hay is an cxcellcut Wit
ness in the case; and we are not get
done with him. And let it be kept al
ways in mind that he is not cur wit
ness; he is the witness of the church
organ. which brought him in aud is
bound by his evidence.
