Show communicated WHAT constitutes LOYALTY tim THE opponents of mormonism have frequently asserted that to be a good dM mormon ormon and at the same time loyal citizen of the united states government was impossible because they say the church organization and teachings being theocratic contain none of the elements of democracy that in practice the church government of the them many by the few sinks the individuality divid divi duality bality of the masses thereby rendering individual thought and independent eident action on t their leir part impossible tle ele thus dwarfing dwar fing their manhood and killing within them every aspiration of which an american may justly leet teel proud the above are sweeping r charges 11 often repeated are they true or false the government of the united states is supposed to be republican and it is so at least in theory if not wholly so 1 in P practice rac tIce it is frequently often boastfully spoken of as a govern government merit of the people by the people for the people 1 in other words a government people e existing ti ri by the consent of the gov arned having ascertained in main the kind of government it becomes necessary to tind find in what loyalty to it principally consists in doing this let us assume facts forbid lus jus us doing 1 more nore respect tor for office forbids us doing less that the federal officials of utah are loyal citizens of the govern me nt whose servants they are loyalty 1 I mean the genuine article is manifest est more in works than words in practice than in precept bogus bous loyalty may way prate much about allegiance to the greatest government on earth the government of for and by the people beautiful theory I 1 what true american can think of it without emotions of pride and how the patriots heart must swell within him as he grasps his carpetbag carpet bag and seeks ap an appointment to become governor of a territory whose cit citizens ikens had chad no voice in selecting or elect electing ing lug th the e president whose commission be he desi desires res nor in that of any sei sel senator lator whose approval is necessary to confirm the appointment and fully authorize him to govern citizens who have no interest in him and for whom he has neither interest nor sympathy unbidden an and of cou con course rs e therefore unwelcome the full fuli ull uli fledged territorial governor comes empowered among other things to veto absolutely any or every measure passed by the 30 36 honorable gentlemen known as la a territorial legislature his politics may be averse to those of the people by virtue of his commas commission he rules without their consent their bitter enemy he may be pursuing them with unrelenting hatred yet they must endure it and still bs be disloyal lo 10 al M be this the fault of the system or the man or both it is called republic republicanism so a harlot is called a woman a depraved debauchee a man b but u t neither the original type which go god d called good The theory then of republicanism is government baand with the consent of the governed the practice of republicanism lican ism as prevailing in the terr territories i I 1 is to rovern govern without the consent of the gover governed lied and loyalty consists in loudmouthed loud mouthed abuse dt oi the governed b by those who can not be held responsible I 1 by them on the other hand theocratic 11 mormonism forbids any man to hold office in its ecclesiastical organization without the consent nay without the approval of those among whom and tor for whom lie he is to exercise the functions of his office Republica republicanism nissm encroaching upon monarchial privileges appoints without reference to ane feelings of those to be governed while theocracy in precept and practice holds out the doctrine of common consent so strongly that no mormon could be found fould mean enough enough to even wish to govern without th the approval of the governed in this atie atle lormon mormon government the combined authorities of tile the priesthood and officers of the church have neither the nor the to place any man in an office without the consent anu and vote of the people over oyer whom he is to preside and I 1 suppose for this reason th they eyare are mormons cormons Mor mons disloyal to the government ment whose principles they tiley must and do ao practice if their disloyalty loss of individuality lack of independent thought and action are the result of their powerlessness to override over ride the common consent of the people and on the part of the people themselves the disposition to maintain their rights then I 1 for one ime thank god for their disloyalty dislow alty and if on the other hand american patriotism manly marily independence dignified honor inoc lest test bravery and noble action are fruits produced only by hungry carpet chiefly true to themselves and their grip sacks and whose instincts lead them to assume office among those who despise them then the mormon wants none of them it Is said that a rose called by any other name would smell as sweet it may be that certain american cent gentlemen lemen would smell no stronger if
