Indeed, denial would be useless. One
OF their commandments" declares
that If man have ten virgins CIV
en- unto him by this law he cannot
commit adultery, for they belong to
MIN and they are given unto him.,
therefore he is justified.
Nor is there any reason to doubt
that the missionaries who come to
Europe reverence the lives OF the
pioneer saints regard polygamy as
part of their creed--a creed which,
by the way, explicitly lays 1t down
that "a woman can only be saved
Through her husband"
Mr.. Orson s. Whitney, the resident
mead of what is called the European
Mission" whose permanent head
quarters are at Liverpool make no
bones about it. g It is quite true, ;"
he admits, that at one time plural
marriages were performed by the
Mormons. The elders" who have
Just decended upon us go still fur
ther. They declare their belief in
[polygamy with the prudent reserva-
ton that this is not the time to
practice it."
The burden of all the Mormon pro-
lpaganda in Europe, In fact, is that
while polygamy contains part OF
their creed, the practice Of 1t has
been abandoned since 1882, when
lit was prohibited by the United
States. Is that the whole truth?
That is what we want to discover.
ELDERLY BLUFF
Mr.. Whitney, to whom I referred
Just now, makes a good deal Of play
with the fact that a reward Of $500
lis offered by his organization to any
one who can prove that women are
induced to emigrate to Utah for
polygamous purposes" You hear 8
good deal of this same reward
when you question the elders" Il
is mere bluff, OF course.
The reward" was first offered In
l1911. It is still unclaimed, and Il
will remain unclaimed, because 81
Mr.. Whitney and his elders know
luuite we'll, it is absolutely impossible
for anyone in Europe to fulfill thu
conditions. If even the Fedora
authorities in the United States ar
/. unable to satisfy themselves that po
lygamy, though forbidden and lille
gal, is not still secretly practiced
how on earth is a foreigner to fin
the proof necessary to win the Sc
called reward?
That brings us back to the core c
the controversy. Is it or is It not th
truth that these missionaries al
paid to come here land are special
trained for the purpose) with the Of
ject of playing upon the religious an
emotional weakness or our youn
women SO that they may becon
plant in their submission to the hi
eous Mormon creed of polygamy
That is the whole matter in a nu
shell. I submit that the Home Q
flee ought to be able to probe to Il
bottom OF It.

The composer was the Russian Jew,
Matteo Bensman forty-flve years of

was produced in Milan in 1905 and won
him the international gold medal. In
the same year. in Milan. his opera
'Nuova" was performed. He is also
the author of the operas Uranus"

denied this they determined rather not

There is, too, another point to this
story of the strike of the pogrom or
phans. You can enslave the Jewish
body: you cannot shackle the Jewish
scul. The consequences of the po-
groms in which their parents lost their
lives have left these children of Rez-
hitza fearless. They have grown in
courage and have learned the impor-
lance of asserting themselves. And
what did they ask? Their cry was
not for luNuries, not even for more
bread. but for siddurim. Let the PAM
pcrcd children in our Jewish homes
remember this. They have everything
they want. They live in fine homes
and enjoy every comfort. And if you
told them to ask for siddur they
would laugh at you. They'd sooner

The Jews of Eastern Europe have

A Novel Strike

From Rczhitza, in the district of
Rovno, Soviet Russia, comes story
telling of novel strike-a strike of
children because of the siddur. The
children in the local Home for Po-
grom Orphans wanted siddurim which
were denied to them. They wanted to
pray. They appealed to the superin,
tendcnt to give them siddurim and he
said no. The orphans struck, refus-
ing to go to sleep. 1t was short
strike and ended in complete victory
for the pogrom orphans. The superin-
tendent distributed the siddurim the
following day.
Just imagine the scene. Here were
these Jewish children bercft of the
tender care of mother, deprived of
the protection Of father in n Home
for Pogrom Orphans They came from
Jewish homes and We're accustomed to
recite their prayers in the morning
and their night prayers before falling
asleep. And when these children,

tightly so. They had passed through
terrible experiences and all that was
left to them was their faith. was the
hope that the Father of Mercies. He

Fearful OF McCumber

Ing ability, stanchly partisan, but each with
profound grasp on matters economic.
financial and Industrial They all rose above
provincial prejudices in their treatment
OF these subjects in respect TO the ma
tional needs. Henceforth, by reason of the
vantage position he holds in determining the
tate OF both tariff and tax measures, Senator
McCumber will exercise power in legisla-
ton that may we'll cause uneasiness among
administration supporters. Whatever his
national attainments and merits, he is dis
tinctly not leader among the economic

intellectual guides OF the Senate. He has
been very largely active in and devoted to
special Interests and localities, representing
3 small State, which constitutes very
minute fraction of the stupcndous industry

been prominently identified with the agri-
cultural bloc. which is veritable thorn in
