Show CAMPAIGN OF SLANDER CONTINUES. CON-TINUES. Editor Truth: I see that tho Baptists, or at least some of tho members or writers for tho Baptist church, have joined In the crusado of slander against Utah. In tho January number of tho Daptlst Home Mission Monthly, is tho following follow-ing comment or deduction from the testimony In the Smoot Investigation: "From tho evidence given, it would appear that such little things as falsehood false-hood and perjury aro not oven venial sins, if done for tho church, and that murder itself is not a crime, If coin-mitted coin-mitted at the behest of the Hierarchy. Thero is nothing that such a religion cannot be mado to justify and approve; ap-prove; going so far as to promise eternal eter-nal rewards for doing that which is illegal and criminal." Tho most rabid Mormon hater at tho Smoot trial, oven B. B. Crltchlow, would not endorse tho above quotation, quota-tion, but would brand It as a falsehood. false-hood. This article also exhibits tne well worn Devil Fish map that tne Rev. Richard Wake is distributing wr tho Ministerial association. It a'su exhibits another map of the umieu States, with Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Wyom-ing, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New wes ico, Colorado and a small P0"1.0." Canada and Mexico, Panted..J"n which it denominates as the "Mormon Monarchy." Tho Baptists as a usuai thing do not have time to slander peo plo who do not ngreo with them anu -"-7th7ork7n that the writer of 1 mj?f,matory article Is an annpx to i S mission of this state by the ?,Bi and she hates the Mormons marriage, ana w og th Gen.
