Is Reed Smoot a Safe and Worthy Leader? I Thousands oi' men and women of Utah aue asking this question. .And aslfuimy are linding " it easier cax-h year to answer "No." f He has made no record that is creditable either lo his slate or lo his church. His am- bition to become a Senator of the United t States plunged the Mormon church into greater troubles than it had experienced in all history, t He has brought more grid to the leaders of r the church than all of the opponents of Mor- r monism from the inception of polygamy. He t was seated only through the intervention of f a President of the United States. And even f then it. was necessary for him to permit his X vote to be pledged lo the great protected in- t iercsis of the country and possibly TO THE T KJfiPIi.ESPNT.ATIVliS Oh1 THE NATIONAL LIQUOR DKAIjG'RS' ASSOCIATION. J He is keeping all of these pledges.

Tho detective cliiof is of the opinion that tho plot Jo destroy tho Times and tho homo of ifs owner was carefully worked out, and ample provision provided before li,ind for tho cscnpc of tho conspirators.

HON CHIEF I JEiPSH I President Joseph F. Smith Says Knockers Must Quit Talking About Him. fl SAYS HE HAS LIVED H PURE AND HOLY LIKE H Made Pledge With God and Man H Early in Childhood, and Has Never Broken It. Joseph F. Smith, prophet, seer and rcvclator, president of tho Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, tms fl tcc-in-trtist, is a good and holy man. There can bc no doubt about it he says so himself. President Joseph 1'. Smith says ho never broke a pledge in IH his lifetime his whole lifo time, and anybody who says "ho did is a well, IH he just is. President Joseph P. Smith put in twenty minutes of good solid talk Thursday morning at the Mormon cou- IH fcrenco in trying to make tho pcoplo IJ bclievo that ho had never dono anything IH wicked, not even tho wee, tiniest, littlo wicked. Ho traced his sublime goodness and perfection from the time when he was a boy until the present day, and during all that time, he never once got off the bee-line of purity Joseph P. was real poovish Thursday IH morning. Ho had arisen from a sick bed for the express purpose of telling his pcoplo that ho was good, oh, so good, and that ho had always been good,, oil, so good if not bettor. Tho reason for Joseph P. 'a peevishness was because somebody has been talking about: him, and talking bad talk, too. flftV What's worse and more of it, is that tho somebody who talked about Josoph P. BBV is a Mormon, or maybo a lot of Mor- flBV mons. Anyway, .loseph P. knowH who ho or they arc. and ho issued a signod- flBV sealcd-aud-dclivcred warning from tho -IBV highest point on the stand in tho taber nacle that that kind of business must stop, and stop right off. The president of the church doesn't. care a rap what his enemies say about HJ him, lie says, but it grieves him sorely IKV in body and mind when some under- AS handed wretch who profespes to belong MVH to the church owned by him and his BV family dares to talk about him. Sore About It. .lust whnfthd Tao"kcappor said aTiout Joseph did not appear, but it must have been something dreadful, because BV Joseph P. admitted that he had been belied and maligned, and he was pretty BVH dog-go nod sore about it. Aside from airiug his personal griov ani.'o and issuing a warning that mem ASH bcrs of the Mormon church must bridle BVH their tongues, President Smith did nol. say much of anything. JJo even failed lo mention that his prouunc.iamcul.o against talking too much was coinci- flBVJ dent with the Hegi lining of the poll Li cal campaign through mere accident. HHJ i nc rest oi i lie wont oi tuo cnuiui hhh ence consisted of addresses by Antliou tL Lund and John .Henry Smith, couu- scllors in the first, presidency, and four of t he seven presidents of seventies. J a tho evening there was a meeting HHH of the genealogical society, which was HBSJ uttcuded by a large number of thusu who aro interested in baptism for the dead. This moetine was addressed by Professor John A. Widtsoc. HBVJ At 10 o'clock Saturday there will be n meeting of the officers of the Young Lndios' Mutual Jmprovomcut nssocia- tions in the Eighteenth ward meeting Last evening thero were many ro unions of returned missionaries, and HHH these roniiions will bc held throughout the coutiuuation of the conference. HH Tho tabernacle was filled at both scs sious vest oid ay, the morning crowd bc- ing estimated at 7;500 and the afternoon HKVJ attendance at SaOO. HBVJ At the morning session prayer was offered by Mel v in J. Ballard and bene- HHSJ iction was pronounced by Samuel O. HBVJ Bennion. The benediction in the after- HHSJ noon was pronounced by Angus M. HHSJ Cannon. In tho courso of tho day tho HHH hymns. "Come. - Come, yo Saints,1' HBVJ "'Wc " Tliank Thee. O God, for a Prophet," "Ciuido Us. O Thou Great Jehovah," "Itedcemcr of Israel," HHH "God Moves in a Mystorious Way." HHJ and "Spirit, of God" were sung by the HHH choir and congregation. Miss Mabel HHVJ Cooper sang a beautiful solo at the HHVJ forenoon meeting, and David Hccse HHSJ sang with lino affect a tenor solo in HBVJ tho afternoon, "'Hie Almighty.

There was no question that the .Mor- H mon people were glad to sec President HHSH Smith on the stand. 1 Lis appearance BV or nou-appenrnnue was a matter of jHHHJ keenest interest. President Smith told BV his congregation that ho was glad BV to see so many present, aud that his BBBV heart was full of blessing for the Lai- kBBBJ tor-day Saints aud for all the honest KBBBj of heart throughout the world. He earnestly hoped that the spirU. of t ho BBBBJ Lord will visit the Latter-day Saints IBBBj and abido with them throughout tho IH sessions.
