The church, however, as a church, has obeyed the law, but I have not. As an individual I have taken that chance." Being question as to the right of the first wife to consent or object to the taking of other wives by a husband, President Smith, after reading from the revelation which said the wife did not consent she should be destroyed by the Lord, declared that her opinion had no weight at all on the subject. All presidents of the church and all those prominent In business or professional circles In Utah, he said, had been men with plural wives. Mr. Hoar, referring to the scriptural Injunction that a bishop of the church should have one wife, was interrupted by the witness with the interjection: "At least" That injunction," he continued, "was made to the people of Judea In the midst of a polygamous people. It was made obligatory on a bishop to have one wife because it was recognized that a bishop should be an experienced man." This statement was received with laughter. President Smith positively denied that any public teaching of the principle of polygamy had taken place since 1890 and disputed the assertions of (hi anil Mormon press to that church. president Smith stated that upon the acceptance or rejection of revelations, the vote of any woman member of the church was just as powerful as the vote of the witness himself.
