=, This shows how the hypocrisy of the
hierarchy has once more pu, the Nor
mon church in hole. Does I, mean that
lhe Democra tic party will profit thereby?
Sot at al. kind readers, no, at all The
Democratlc party has only made another
mistake: In this instance the mistake
liss IN the fact that the Democratic party
thoueht the tabernacle utteranCes and
nouthinsS OF the prophet and apostles in
favor OF prohibition were sincere What
an egresiOus blunder thar was, How
did, the Democracy-the o,c. much out

i,-l,emocracy OF Jtah-make the awful
Diunder OF mistaking priesthood hypoc-
riSy for sincerlty7 WeU, it Goes not mat
Ter how the mistake was made but let us
do some prophesying.
NO more will the blatant hypocrtes
howl temperance and prohibition from
the tabernacle pulpit The sermons on
prohibition have done their work. The
liquor interests are IN the camp of the
Republican party and whisky has paid
Us assessment TO the Republican Golfers !
The tabernacle. the Beehive house and |
the tithins yard are through with the |
iion for this year. Apostle Grant WIN be |
sent on mission 10 sing to the Pata- |
sonians- The great prophet himself Will |
axe axe another trip TO the Ham Sandwich |
noise, maker who ever whooped it up for
prohibition to help Smoot collect tithing |
rom booze and beer Will take TO the |
woods. strange and dismal silence on
ne prohibition question will pervade the |
ana. save only where II IS broken here
md there by some lone Democrat crying
n the wilderness. Such Will be the ef-
ects OF the ignoble alliance between The
Mormon church and the liquor interests
an alliance born Of sin for father and
ecclesiastical hypocrisy for a mother and
baptized in booze.
Now. Mormon people. how long are
'ou going 10 permit yourselves to be gov
rned by such bald and naked hypocrisy
ls Is set before you? Condonation Of !
me such trick as this clears the way for |
mother like It.. Use your brains You
ave brains God save you brains to

lear and reason to use Those who tell
'ou not TO think, not to see and not TO
lear but TO obey the counsel of another
