grounds, north of the Bureau of In
formation were shown and she said
We were fond Of showing these to
strangers. She said: 1t is customary
to build monuments to the memory of
people and erect them IN their native
state but here is great exception,
No doubt she knows nothing of 10
aenh Smiths monument in Sharon,
V mont, nor of its enormous size.
On the subject of temples she said
at only high officials could enter
I'd that to get in man must pay
I've dollars for himself and each of
his many wives and he must buy
three bottles of oil at three dollars
per, for himself and each of his wives.
The church manufactures this oil in
Salt Lake and that similar sized bot
ties could be bought for twenty-five
cents in any drug store. She said
that when the candidates for admin
istration were we'll creased with this
oil they could go through the temple
and then proceeded to tell Of the ter
rible oaths taken in the temple and
of the secret marriages there. These
oaths were to avenge the death of
Joseph Smith.
A picture supposed to be Of the
garments was shown, but was a COM
| mon pair OF ladies union suits with
some holes cut In them and they
were made to button down the back.
She said that some had mark on
the knee which meant that II they
broke their oaths their knee cap
would be removed.
She told them that each person
was given a secret name that must
not be spoken aloud. This, she said
is a Mormon trick to get to heaven
because they know where they belong
so when John Jones dies and Satan
tries to claim him he will say to St.
Peter: My name is Moses, not John
Jones, and thus he hopes to bluff his
way to heaven.
The St. George and Manti temples
were shown and also temple tina
she said was in Provo but we all rec
ognized as the one at Logan.
Speaking of politics she told Of tn,
domination by President Joseph F
Smith and that Utah voted as he die
tated. She said, that each week tn
bishops visited each member Of tn
church and told them what Joseph F
Smith wished them to do. She spok
of William II. Taft's visit to Sal
Lake and how he degraded himsel
by riding around the city with JOSEF
F. Smith. Then they went to tn
Bee Hive house and behind close
doors Joseph F. Smith gave Mr.. Tai
the Utah vote. She claimed that thi
was because one of Mr.. Taft's cousin
was Mormon and lives in Provo
As a proof OF President Smiths pol
tical power she cited the fact thf
Vermont, the birth place of JOSEF
Smith, and Utah, the present capit'
of Mormonism were the only Repu
lican states last national election.
She said that the Fourth of Jul
was never celebrated in Utah but 1

\ Thomas Kearns and their brave figl
\ for political liberty in Utah
