Show A XEW BILL A Mormon exchange gives to the public the text of a bill whose provisions for so says our Mormon exchange embody the next national legislation on the Mormon question As indicated by this bill the coming legislation will be delightfully to the point and will thoroughly correct all the open and apparent ap-parent weaknesses of the measure springing from the mental loins of the patriarch from Vermont This bill has the great ad vantage van-tage of Mormon origin and its provisions pro-visions have added weight from the fact that they are outcroppings from the inner saintly circle The first section provides that the Mormons stand condemned ior having accumulated so little property to confiscate The words Mormons stand condemned in this section will meet the public approval and their having so little property to confiscate is also straight goods the Mormon Church and the elders thereof having as is notoriously known confiscated said property as fast as the workers of the Tabernacle accumulated it The second section provides that from and after the date hereof no Mormon shall make any improvements or build any structure upon up-on real estate claimed by him until his I plans have in detail been submitted by him to the Loyal League and approved This touches with all the closeness I of intimate knowledge and long experience experi-ence upon Mormon characteristics No Mormon shall make any improvement or build upon any real estate are expressive ex-pressive words Mormons are not given to improvements generally and real estate in Utah is not advanced in Utah by Mormon methods In this second section there is also a declaration made that Mormon architecture is not always agreeable to worldly taste This goes without saying The world has always had very little use for Mormon architecture especially of the moral order Another provision of this excellent new bill is that in any community where a Loyal League lawyer may establish an office that it shall not be lawful for Mormons to submit any matter of dispute to ecclesiastical eccle-siastical or neighborhood arbitration but shall be compelled to employ such Loyal League lawyer Here the Mormon Mor-mon author of the bill strikes hard and straight on the ecclesiastical evil and the corrupt domination of the priesthood The law of the land is to be obeyed and a Gentile lawyer is to point the way to such obedience Another section of this bill reads that in any community where a Loyal League physician may now practice prac-tice or desire to practice it shall not be lawful for any Mormon to pray to God for the healing of the sick This provision pro-vision is also well based and is evidently intended as a death blow to that idle and shiftless fanaticism which petitions God and then continues on its marrowbones until He does the work Again we have a provision which reads that Mormons shall not be allowed to testify in any civil suit at law but that they shall be allowed to testify in criminal matters Here again the bill with a wise boldness takes things as it finds them and utilizes the unfortunate Mormon Mor-mon leaning toward criminality The above gives the chief points of this new bill This points as the reader will readily see are apt and imperatively challenge national legislation Their Mormon author must be one that has seen the error of his ways In the introductory intro-ductory words to the bill the author says In full belief that the sentiments expressed ex-pressed herein will meet with Liberal favor the following sections are presented in skeleton Again is the writer apt The Liberal favor is met with and the word skeleton is especially pertinent I when applied to Mormonism I |
