The book on Mormonism, by Brigham H. Roberts, was next taken up and treated in the same manner. Senator Hoar, in a lengthy statement going over the testimony that had been | introduced, =aid it would soon be known whether Tayler expeets to controvert facts as set forth by Smith—that there have been no plural marriages since 1890, but that those who had plural | wives would continue to care for them. “I expect to.show,” said Tayler, “that | many plural marriages have been sol- | emnized 1n Utah since 1890.” “And that Mr. Smoot had knowledge | “Whether with his knowledge I can- | e col P ritnes ! s , ¥ ’:j“i:‘_’;;’fdn‘f“jq:“';’;:: TAKING PLURAL WIVES. { not say. 1 cannot connect Mr. sl esto stopping the practice.| Smith called for a copy of the lm”k‘Tayl»r, o Cxpertoto ahowtint theas] . r persisted that according | ©f doctrine and nts and read a| . rages have been consummated | e 5 s own statements the E-m “-’ the re Shaton “"Ei"hfi;::r:m?ilnmong officers of the church, and that | practice had not been stopped, and Sen- yeen acceptec n e I f | ¥ s s be P had gone over that matter | Was not mandatory upon the members | o T S, e o o 5 | 4 es and he could see no purpose | Of the church.

Senator Beveridge desired to know whether the church considered that the laws were being obeyed when poly- gamous cohabitation had continued since the manifesto of 1890, and Chair- man ‘Burrows made the question more personal. He said: “You have said to- day that you were obeying the laws in not teaching polygamy since the mani- festo was promulgated. Do you think you were obeying the law in having eleven children from different mothers polygamist apostles had disobeyed the law in regard to polygamous cohabita- tion since the manifesto in 1890. “I do not know,” answered Smith. “I only know that they were in the same | status of polygamy at the time of the manifesto as I was myself.

It was stated .also by Woolle; “It would be the same if any other per- son in the church should persist in run- ning for office in contradiction of the wishes of the church.” Smith was then taken in hand by the defense and questioned by Worthing- | ton. Worthington called attention to “an apparent inconsistency” in regard to the authority of more than one per- | ter with me: son to receive revelations. Smith said that only the president could receive revelations “for the en- tire church,” though every member of the church could receive revelations for his personal guidance, provided they lived worthy to receive inspirations from God. Smith then testified making polygamous crime was passed by the Utah Terri- torial Legislature, which was whelmingly composed of Mormon that the constitutional convention was also composed, to a large majority, of Mormons, o that the laws of Utah legislating against polygamous co- habitation really were the resuit of the efforts of Mormons themselves. that the law cohabitation a 4.20- the army in 1870 as an.act of youthful ¢ - indiscretion.

Which would they | have to obey?” “Whichever they pieased,” was the renly. “There is no compulsion.” Then he read from one of the standards of authority: “Let no man break the law of the land, for he that keepeth the laws of God hath no need to break the | laws of the land.” STOP THAT COUGH.] PUT ON_AN Allcock’s ADVERTISEMENTS.
