Show The News has an editorial to show that the Mormon church is not a menace to this nation.. When the chiefs of the Mormon creed cease to interpose their priestly power in the politics of this country; when they cease to dictate to Governors, Gov-ernors, Legislators, City Councils and voters, as they promised to do when the state was admitted, they and their church will cease to be a menace to this country, but not before. So long as they sell United States senatorshlps for money, they aro a menace. Moreover, it is not a square deal with the members of the Legislature who cannot be real statesmen when compelled to live on husks arid hot air. Our government was fashioned on the theory that Church and State must be alike free and that neither should ever Infringe upon the province of the other.4 When that distinction is once-lost sight of, our country will swiftly descend to the level of old Spain. |
