A Momentoim 1Im-fi-nnclilw- ed. up-pli- ed Decision. supreme 3.-T- he renof the United States to-ddered an opinion affirming the constitutionality of the Edmunds-TuckIdaho test oath, intending to prevent Mormons from voting. The case came up on an application for a writ of habeas corpus made by Samuel D. Davis, who is in jail in Idaho, having been sentenced for unlawfully taking the prescribed test oath when he was a member of the Mormon Church. The court denies the application for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that polygamy is a crime and that the constitutional provision guaranteeing freedom of religion is not intended to prevent punishment of any person who in the name of religion commits a crime in the eyes of the law. The court, in its opinion, says bigamy and polygamy are crimes by the laws of the Uuited States and Idaho. They tend to destroy the purity of the mar-iag- e relations; to disturb the peace of families, degrade women and debase men. Few crimes are more pernicious to the best interests of society, and receive more general or more deserved a punishment. To call their advocacy tenet of religion is to offend the common sense of mankind; to extend exemption from punishment for such crimes would be to speck the moral 'udgmentof the community. It is assumed by the counsel of petitioner that because no form of worship can be established by law or religious tenets enforced in this country, therefore any form of worship may be followed, and any tenets, however destructive to society, may be held and advocated if asserted to be part of the religious doctrines of those advocating and practising them, but nothing is further from the truth. While legislation for the establishment of religion is forbidden and its free exercise permitted, it does not follow that everything which may be so called can be-be tolerated. Crime is not lepg excused cause sanctioned by any sect that may designate it as religion. ay er OLD JONES Tlie M nnlclpnl Ticket to Mover: Tlie Garden City for tlie Ifeit Two Yean.
