Can't Fathom Fight on Mormons

Young, the prophet, was their leader,
so that in addition to having the
names of all of them carved upon the
stone a statue of Young stands, life
size, at the top Of the monument.
There is no religious significance to
the statue or to the proposition to
engraye the likeness upon the silver
service, Senator Smoot explained to
Secretary Meyer, although it happens
that the pioneers were Mormons.
The senator also stated that the
committee having in charge the selec-
tion of the silver for the battleship
and the designation of the design, is
composed of Mormons and non-Mor-
mons and they are unanimously in
favor of engraving a picture of the
monument upon the service. The re-
suit of the senator's talk was that
Secretary Meyer will stand pat and
not interfere. To all who protest he
says that the silver service is a vol.
untary gift from the people of Utah
and the department has no right to
stipulate as to the design. The same
attitude was assumed by the depart.
