Law-Breake- rs of AN FRANCISCO has revealed, while the truth of the matter is that he was not responsible fur the doctrines which have made the Christianised world shudder. As a public man he never taught nor practiced polygamy, despite the claim of the Mormon people to the contrary. This claim waa fully examined on two separate occasions by the courts of the United Slates, and in both Instances (lie opinion waa handed down that the dominant church did not represent the faith and doctrines of the church aa founded by Joseph Smith, and hence was not entitled to be recognised aa the legal successor of his church. In the hist case In which this question was legally examined Judge John K.

Do Not Reprosant Prophet, While these people claiming to be Mormons claim to represent the doctrines of religion presented to the world by Joseph Smith, nothing can be farther from what he preached than nre some of the beliefs and practices of the church which have come so prominently before the public as a result of the work of the United States senate committee on elections and privileges In its recent Investigation of the standing of Senator.

The Associated Press dispatches recently contained an acount of the feelings of revulalon with which the towns of Kharon and Royalton, Vt., learned that the Mormon authorities had purchased the farm upon which waa born the mail Joseph Smith, who In 1830 organised a church, and that the said au- Yjii, grater cumstances surrounding the alleged Intercourse.

But If It were conceded that Joseph Smith and Hyrum, his brother, did secretly practice concubinage, is the to be charged with these church liaisons, and the church to be predicated thereon of the church? If an. 1 suspect the doctrine of polygamy might be Imputed to many of the Gentile churches.

Because of the peculiar and unique position he occupies as a character In American history, the people of this country would prefer to relieve Joseph Smith's name from the odium or and other practices which have made the Mormon people odious In the eyes of the world; and by all that Is right and Just he should be sosorelieved, clearly when his true follower have shown in the courts of the land that the responsibility for polygamy' and other evila rests with usurpers of his position, doctrines promulgated and first made public years after he had been murdered by a lawless mob. As a slight recompense for having permitted hie murder in cold blood, tne people of the United States owe it to hie memory, In the light of what ha been presented by hla true followers in the courts of the land, to relieve him of the aspersion which attaches to hie memory by reason of the practices of men who have so recently acknowledged themselves to he wilful lawbreakers.
