TITE OMAHA DAILY HEE: SUNDAY, MAKCIT 13. SENTIMENT AGAINST SMOOT r. Critch'ow Teitifi Eegardiof BtT. L-ilioh'i P.l"t,m Charge.. EVIDENCE SHOWS CHURCH IS IN CONTROL Imttl ( oilil Sot Oihrrnlie Bp Riveted and One Took "Is Weeks of Prayer to Change Roberts. WASHINGTON. March 12 That Reed Smoot could not have been elected to the United Btates senate without having fir.t been hosen as an apostle of the Mormon church and that after he was so chosen he could not have been defeated was asserted by Judge Ogden Hllrs, assistant United States attorney from im to 1S90, and later a Judge of the district court of Utah, who was a witness today In the Bmoot case. He claimed to have procured more In dictments and conducted more prosecutions against Mormons on the charge of polyga mous cohabitation than any other otTtclal that had served In Utah. He told an In teresting story nf the prosecution and said the first cessation in the flagrant progress of polygamous cohabitation came after the Edmunds-Tucker act making adultery a crime and prescribing heavy penalties for violations. Up to that time the people Went to Jail or paid fines, declaring It proferable to obey the laws of Ood than those of man. The heavy fines subse-qu-ntly Imposed for adultery, he said, brought a change of View. Many of those prosecuted were poor and unable to pay the fln-jB anl then they accepted the offer of the courts to waive punishment If promise was given not to continue to violate the laws. An Interesting feature of Judge lilies' testimony was his declaration that former United States Senator Rawlins was still a Mormon, even though he stood out against the church on the matter of Interference In politics. Attorney Van Cott took the witness to task for the statement and the colloquy enlivened the close of the day's hearing. Chairman Rurrows closed the session subject to call. It Is understood there will be a number of new witnesses within a week or ten days. Among those wanted are Apostle Teaadale and John Henry flmlth, whose plural marriages have been recounted by witnesses. E. R. CYltchlow. formerly an assistant United States attorney In Utah, again took the stand and his cross-examination was ontlnued by Waldemar Van Cott, one of the attorneys for the defense. Sentiment against Mr. Smoot was the subject of Inquiry by Mr. Van Cott. who asked specifically If a wave of antagonism to the Mormons waa not created by the Lelllch charges that Mr. Smoot was a polygamlst. Mr. Crltcklow thought that had not been the effect, though there hnd been much surprise that this waa made In the face of the statement In the general protest that Mr. Smoot was not charged with polygamy. Little Interest was taken In the cross-examination, and only two members remained In their seats for the greater part of the forenoon hearing. Mr. Van Cott then addressed the com mittee directly In regard to the candidacy of Reed Smoot and drew from the witness the fact that Mr. Smoot had announced himself as a candidate for the senate bo fore 1S02. The witness was questioned in regard to the sentiment for or against Reed Smoot for senator and said that so far as he was concerned he had no objection to Smoot personally, but opposed him on the ground that he waa a general authority of the church. He admitted that at the time he had moved to make unanimous the nomina tions of certain persons for. members of the legislature that It was generally known that Mr. Smoot was to be made an apostle. It also waa brought out that In 1896 Mr. Roberta refused to sign the church rule In regard to politics, the same as Thatcher has refused to subscribe to church dictates. This was In Roberts' first campaign, but Mr. Crltchlow could not say whether Mr. Roberts recanted before or after ejection. The witness was asked to explain the change of mind and said: "It has been published In the official church paper that authorities of the church labored and prayed with Mr. Roberta for six weeks and then he announced that he had received a vision of his dead ancestors being lost to perdition because he wns out of harmony with his church and could not Bo Into the temple and be baptised and tknt save their souls as well." After that, the witness said, Mr. Roberts subscribed to the church rule and waa not dlsfellowshlpped. ' , Mormons Dictate Learlalatloau Instances were asked In which the church Interfered in business matters In the last rrt years, and Mr. Crltchlow mentioned the location of a union depot In Salt I-ake City and other matters of municipal his tory. The witness waa asked concerning a statement In a former testimony that a Mormon committee dictated legislation In the llrst session of the legislature. He named aa thla committee C. W. Penrose, C. W. Rite. James Sharp. William H. King. Attorney F. 8. Richards and Jamea M. Tanner. Judge Ogden Hlles of Salt Lake City, as sistant United States attorney In Utah from 1W to ls. In prefacing his testi mony, said he hnd drawn more Indictments snd prosecuted more cases of unlawful co habitation under the Edmunds-Tucker act than any other offl. lal In Utah. For the first two years the people, he said, re fused to obey the anti-polygamous law. eiv ( nip, of Children. "The people." said the witness, "thought they must obey the law of Ood rather than the law of man " There waa a disposition not to prosecute cases when the law gen erally was obeyed, but that after the mani festo It was seen that the Mormons had returned to their old practices. He said this was evident from the new "crops of children" frrm polygamous families which continued to spring up. Judge Hlles said Mr. 8moot could not have been elected without being an apostle and without the consent of the church. "He had no standing that would entitle ; him to such a promotion, and he was not seriously thought of," said the witness. "Can you name one Mormon who Is a re publican who would have received the sup port of the people or who Is more entitled to the place than Mr. Smoot." "Yes. sir. Governor Wells. I don't know of many Mormons who are republicans they are simply Mormons " "Do you mean that they put their Mor monlim aheiid of their republicanism?" "That is what I mean." "Well, now. Judge Hlles. will you tell us why you ssy that Mr. Smoot could not have been a candidate had It not been for the fact that he had been ap apostle?" "He might have been a candidate, but could not have been eleoted "How do you know that he could not have been elected?" "Recause there were many others with more Influence In the party and had more reasonable claim for the position." "Of bourse that Is your opinion?" "Yes. It Is my opinion, and It waa the general Impresrlon In both the 'eptibllcan snd democratic parties also. To use a eommon slang expression. It was said. 'Smoot would not be In It If he were not an apostle. " "How about Joseph t,. Rawlins?" he asked. "He Is not a Mormon." "Joseph I.. Rawlins? Oh, yes. he Is a Mormon. He was born Into the church of Mormon parentage." "Rut yon do not mean to say "that be cause a man Is born of Mormon parentage he Is always a Mormon?" "Pretty close to It. While It may be said that Rawlins was not a good Mormon, nevertheless he Is a Mormon." CLEVELAND IN THE SOUTH Georgian Pfcji Former President 1 Well Liked b I he Dem crate. THEY NEVER VOLUNTARILY LEFT HIM Some Hope for Democratic ccese If the Politicians Do Sot Inter fere with the Feople'a Will. Pnenmonla Weather. From the New York Herald. "The wide prevalence of coughs, colds, grip and pneumonia marks an experience of severe and protracted winter weather the like of which we have not seen for many a year. The" stubborn persistence of catarrhal troubles Is also a marked fea ture of the depressing influences which follow a long siege of rapidly changing low nnd raw temperatures. The man Is fortunate Indeed who has not been at some time Blnce Christmas confined to his bed with a 'cold' of some sort that he cannot succeed In curing. This condition of affairs has existed for months, and the end is not yet. In fact, it behooves all careful people to be on their guard against all catarrhal troubles more than ever. March Is a typical pneumonia month and gives a high rate of mortality for the dis ease. One reason for this is that after our long and hard winters the system loses Its natural resistance to cold. Only the hardy ones are likely to withstand the strain, and even these are by no means safe when' grip Is Increasing almost to epidemic manifestation. "The ordinary "cold," the grip and pneu monia belong to the same family of winter diseases. Although they may be excited by different Infectious Influences, their ulti mate effects are the ' same when the at tacks are sufficiently severe. "An acute catarrh Is always the result of undue exposure to low temperatures. The rapid cooling of the surface,' when not bal anced by proper reaction, produces conges tion and inflammation of the nasal and bronchial membranes. Obviously such an ailment Is not communicable, In the ordi nary sense, from one individual to an other. As the slightest 'cold' predisposes the Individual to attacks of the most severe and dangerous oatnrrhal affections, the necessity for Its quick cure, need not be enforced." All these facts emphasize the necessity of extraordinary precautionary measures against the ordinary cold. Every one can not change his climate at will, but may make the, most of what he has at home, via., take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the first Indication of the cold appears. It not only , cures a cold quickly, 'but counteracts any tendency of the cold to result In pneumonia. This fact has been fully proven during the epidemics of colds and grip of the past few years. No case of either of these dis eases having resulted In pneumonia when this remedy was used has ever been re ported to the manufacturers, which shows conclusively that It Is not only the best and quickest cure for colds, hut a certain preventive of that dangerous disease.

A. llrauer of Ostikosh, Wis., waa badly hurt by falling walls. (Copyright by New York Herald Co . 1ot.) NEW YORK. March 12.-fNew York Her-) aid Service Special to The Ree.) Hon II. H. Perry of Georgia, an attorney of that state and a member of . the Georgia senate, being chairman of Judiciary and constitutional committees, being in the city on professional business, was Inter viewed as to the political situation In tho Unlled States with particular reference to conditions In the south. "What Is the feeling among the Georgia democrats as to prospects of success this year?" he was asked. "Well. If Cleveland would accept the nomination we would know what to think, but outside of that we are at sea." "Is not the democratic party developing strength and are not the factions of the party harmonising?" "The strength has been worked up, among labor organizations chiefly. The democratic party has always been the friend of labor In all legitimate ways, but the only chance of democratic auceeea Is to win back the confidence of the business men-of the country. I mean by that the Intelligent farmers as well aa merchants, manufacturers end others who In a thous and ways are carrying on the business Interests of the nation. It is not a matter of harnonizlng a few discout.ted politi cians, but to gain the g.ipport of that great nnd growing body of Independent patriotic voters who care little for the success of this party or that, but do care that the best Interests of the country should be subserved." "what do you think will be the keynote of the coming campaign?" "A fair field fur every man and death to monopolies and unjust exactions." "Does that mean the question of high protective tariff and trusts?" People TVot Protectionists. "Blaine was the most far-soelng of the republicans. Though he won out for Har rison In 1888 he was. wise enough to see It was the last victory they would gain for protection. He Immediately Began to trim the party's sails to catch some of the popular .breeze and coined the word "reci procity" at least In Its present sense as a compromise between protection and free trade, and It was a master stroke. Rut the protected Industries were too strong for him in 1892 and showed him the wind kept blowing. "When the republicans succeeded In 1898 It was their delusion to suppose ih..t 'he people had again Indorsed their high tariff program and they have out-heroded Herod on that line ever since. But sooner or later they will split on that rock. Perfect equality of all Interests under the law Is the Ideal which must prevail." "Is there any man whose name' would In spire confidence In the maintenance of this Ideal?" "Yes, our country Is entering upon a new era, but amid all the clash of views as to policies, domestic and foreign, there Is one man upon whom the people of all parties have confidence, and all would feel safe with his hand again on the helm. A firm adherence to principle without regard to personal consequences preached by Bryan In his lecture on 'The Moral Issue" Is sound, but this doctrine has not been In Cleveland's case merely 'sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal,' as he has been the living embodiment of It." "So you think there Is a chance for the democratic party?" "Yes, If It will act with courage and decision. Nothing appeals to the public like these qualities. But the party must have the nerve to resolutely cut out the offending." "Is Cleveland still popular In the south?" "Certainly; we never wMlingly gave him up. lie would In a primary sweep the south twenty to one over Bryan or anyone else." Map at Politicians. "What Is the main obstacle to the demo cratic success?" "The two by four politicians who are mainly seeking to feather their own nests and of course have not sufficient breadth to even achieve this. They remind one of the old Scotchman who said, "Now Sandy and I are both honest men. I am for God and he Is far the devil, but that fellow Mc- Caughey, he's out for the pickings.' " "How were Bryan's Atlanta aommenta on 'Cleveland regarded?" "They were strongly condemned even by Bryan's friends. It was a reversal of the scripture: 'Now we have the dead a kicking the live Hon. " "Would not the precedent against a third term be In the way of Cleveland's nomination?" "The country has outgrown that. Why should we be deprived of any man'a ser vices by auch a Procrustean rule? It re quires a phenomenal combination both of personal qualities and surrounding clr cumstances to constitute a leader who will be a fit rallying point for a great cause.
