Office; and set its people free in poll
tics.
In this crusade for these holy ends,
there is no attack on religion. No
person will suffer wrong.
AN that is good in Mormon COM
munity life will be preserved, the
thrift, the fraternity-all the admir-
able things Will be as forceful as now.
We condemn the assumption, which
Mormon priests observers adopt, that
crusade against crime must attack
industry, or thrift, or happiness, or
contentment, or piety or any form of
virtue. The most hurtful enemy to
the Mormons is he who assumes that
the perpetuation of their good quail
ties and deeds is dependent upon the
perpetuation of the offences of their
prophet; that their industry is the
creature of his greed; that their free
dom subsists in his tyranny; that their
virtues can be maintained only by
his polygamy; and that their religion
dissolves when he obeys the law.
Christian missionaries may find it
easier to convert Mormonism after
the correction of Mormonism; easier
to convert the educated, law-abiding
and loyal Mormon after the correction
of the fanatical, law-breaking and
REASONABLE Mormon. 1t is even pos
sible that after the correction, there
will be less need for conversion.
For our part, we would have the
Mormon Church and people right
eously enjoy their freedom of faith
in this republic. Living the cove
nant to which they pledged their hon

against them. Freed from the Of
! fences and the burden of the offend

they will develope the best that is
within their human mass. If their
system can survive the eradication
of its priestly crimes and criminals,
it will take it's place among the con-
ventional faiths of mankind. But it
will have ceased to be the Mormon
ism which now invades the rights
and affronts the civilization of this
Christian land.
There are many sects. There is
but one Christ. In His Great Day
the differences many fall away from
faiths. And all who will to share
in His salvation may unite as brothers
in His Worship.
There are many powers in our ma

their will through government and
must hold their rights under its rule,

HUNT FOR "TB" SOLDIERS

What has become Of Tennessee's
1900 soldiers who were discharged or
rejected in the draft because they
were suffering with tuberculosis and
who are fighting for their lives against
this disease? This question is being
asked daily by the Tennessee Anti
Tuberculosis Association who is CON
stantly receiving the names of these
men from the surgeon-generals office
and who have been unable to get in
touch with the majority Of them.
When the facts were published about
the results of the selective draft the
whole country stood aghast at the re-
port that out OF the two million and
half men called to the colors $4,000
or these were rejected because Of Tu.
berculosis and that later 21,OOO men
were discharged from active service
for the same reason.
These men are not hopeless cases.
II taught how to care for themselves
they can fight off the disease and be-
come useful citizens and this is what
the Tennessee Anti-Tuberculosis Asso-
citation and its 1000 affiliated organiza-
tions throughout the country propose
TO do.
But thus far only small percentage
OF the 1900 rejected and discharged
men is this state have been found.
Many have moved, and many more,
when they were discharged, did not
come home. AT the present time ev-
every effort is being made by the state
association to find these men tLat they
may be helped back to health.
