the land But fays Judge 7aue The Church was not condemned by l Judge Anderson account of his ligious faith doctrine cr worship but because of its moral social and loliticnl doctrines and the unlawful practicvs anti conduct that it en joins Yet Judge Anderson did not and could not cite any unlawful practice aydtucd by the Church nor any political doctriue enunciated enun-ciated by the Church which is contrary con-trary to the principles American republicanism Further It lias not been shown and cannot l < e shown that any member of tho Mormon Church compelled or required by virtue of his membership to do any act whatsoever whatso-ever that is in violation of any law or any social political or moral principle prin-ciple as held In theory by the majority ma-jority of the American people Judge Anderson did not do this Judge Xanc cannet dolt The judicial fiat is Xo member of tuo Mormon Church can be admitted to citizenship citizen-ship That is nothing more hoc less tlrandiscriminating against a I mans religious faith doctrine mid j j worship and all denials of this are the thinnest kind of vain pretense Judge Zauc intimates that a tecedcr from Mormonkm may bo readily admitted to citizenship That is I a premium pre-mium on apostacy If a man has been a member of the Mormon Mor-mon Church the Court will not I exclude him if he is not at present pre-sent a member in good standing
