SI county fair exhibits his biggest pump-
l:in and the manufacturer the greatest
If and best product of his factory and
1.1 people judge them for what they
have produced. The two shining
H lights, the most noted products and
tlit two biggest pumpkins of the
7 Presbyterian Missions of Utah arc
m the Rev. Mr. Clcmcnson and the Rev.
I Hans Frccce. These two reverend
H slanderers claim they arc a direct pro
Hi duct of the Presbyterian Missoins in
I Utah, whereas they were once poor
J deluded ignorant, blind pagan Mor
V nions. Th,cy liavc had their eyes
m bi'thed with the holy concentrated cx
I f tirct of John Calvin and now they
B - see and know that John Calvin's
Hi Presbyterian God, " made the whole
B vorjd out of nothing in six days;"
H whereas they .were once blind in Mor
H monism, now they see the beautiful
beatitudes in God's eternal decree,
I foreordination, predestination, Prcs-
bytcrian Church officers can forgive
I sins, infant damnation, and a literal
and eternal burning hell, as taught in
I the Presbyterian creed. The Rev. Mr.
I Clcmcnson is a very irrational erratic
I " blood and thunder " ingratc. At
I ' Mount Pleasant, on August 23, 1905,
I " the Rev. Mr. Clcmcnson in a sensa
I' 1 tional harranguc before the Prcsby
Hl tcriau Mission teachers, said " the
IS people of Utah were ttaitors and law
breakers and begged them to respect
H the flag." He pleaded for a mission
ii school in every town in Utah to over
I throw Mormon treason. His ranting
I speech was so vehement and so in
I jurious to Utah that the Salt Lake
I Tribune published it with startling
H headlines so it would be copied by the
I eastern anti Mormon press.
H Again on March 13, 1906, this no
il torious product of the Presbyterian
Hji Mission of the Presbyterian Church
H went to New York and sought an
HI interview in the New York World in
HP, which he repeated the John L. Lci
l' lich, D. J. McMillan Maria Weed
H' falsehood that Senator Snioot was
Hu a polygamist. The Rev. Clcmcnson
Hi vent so far in this interview as to
Hi manufacture two plural wives and
HE one polygamist child for Senator
I Snioot. At this time the Snioot in
H ' vestigation was in progress in Wash
H ingtou, and knowing his statement
Hj was such a flimsey falsehood, but
HJl being an arrant coward he did not
HJ J dare go to Washington and place his
HJ j statement before 'he investigation
HJ ' committee. The Hon. George Suth
HJ ' crland in his great speech in the
H' United States Senate, January 22,
HJ 1907, placarded the Rev. Clcmenson
I as follows: "Mr. President, it seems
a hard thing to say, but I believe it
to be a just thing lo say, that when
Mr. Clcmcnson made this charge
(that Senator Smoot was a polyga
mist) he deliberately stated what he
knew to be false, or at least what he
had no reason to believe was true.
There arc no words sufficiently se
vere with which to characterize that
kind of a man. Any man, and par
ticularly any man who wears the
cloth of the profession of God, who
would deliberately lfiake a false state
ment of that character' about another,
and especially when that other was
engaged in a contest before the Senate
mil before the countiy for the pre
sensation of his good name, deserves
to be cut out of decent society and
pilioried with the contempt of hon
est men of all time to come."
With the above lie still fresh on Ins
lips the Rev. .Mr. Clcmcnson, this pro
duct of the Presbyterian Mission
went back to Utah was received with
open arms by the Presbyterians there
and he is now pastor of the Presby
terian Church at Logan, Utah Mis
sion teaching the pool Mormons the
commandment, " Thou shalt not lie
or bear false witness against thy
neighbor."
The other notorious product and
shining light of the Presbyterian Mis
sion in Utah is " The Rev. Hans
Preecc, a converted Mormon." The
Rev. Hans Frcece is a traveling anti
Utah lecturer for the Presbyterian
Board of Home Missions, 156 5th
Avenue, New York. The Rev. Hans
Frcece is like the Rev. John D. Nut
tirg, a slippery, oily, slimy hypocrit,
who uses innuendo and hidden false
hoods to slur and belittle Utah. The
Rev. Hans Frcece l'kc the Rev. Mr.
Nutting will tell a truthful reason
able story about the people of Utah
up to some point where stopping will
give it a reverse meaning; then he
will stop, thus leaving the false im
pression on his audience. Like the
old darkey woman who would sing
" I love to steal, I love to steal, I
love to steal awhile away from every
care and pain," only the Rev. Hans
Freccc and the Rev. Mr. Nutting
never finish the last part of the
sentence. The Rev. Hans Freccc
pictures home life in Utah as pitiful
and apalling. " The Christian
Church," he says, is attempting to op
pose lecherous polygomists and trea
son in Utah by establishing Christian
Mission Schools there." "That the
Mormon people who compose the
gtcat majority of the people of Utah
arc traitors who have broken their
covenant with the United States, and
that the heads of the church encour
age people to go into polygamy," and
many more falsehoods. ' The Rev.
Hans Frcece holds most of his meet
ings in Presbyterian churches, takes
up collections and turns part of the
proceeds over to tin Presbyterian
board of home missions and with
this tainted or blood money they sup
pert the msision teachers and schools
in Utah.
Mrs. H. S. White, s. representative
of the Presbyterian Hoard of Home
Missions, stated in r.n interview in
the Philadelphia Inquirer, March 15,
1907: "That the United States Sen
ate was bought by political bribery
to r'etain Senator Smoot." With
Rrapliic details Mrs. White then de
scribed scenes on trains in the west
ern part of the country " where Sen
ators were seen by 'carloads of as
tounded passengers U take bribes of
good hard cash for giving their
pledges to Mormons." The Senate
was bought," said Mrs. White.
The falsehoods upon which the
Presbyterian Mission Schools of Utah
were founded, the slanderous meth
ods by which money is raised for
their support and the Clcmcnson and
Frcece samples they turn out show
that they arc a detriment and a men
ace to Utah public schools and arc
a blight which advertises Utah false
ly to the world.
Yours very truly,

NEXT WEEK. AT THE LYRIC.
Vaudeville is meeting with marked
success at the Lyric theatre. Last
week's bill drew crowded houses
nightly and the bill for next week is
just as good or better than the other.
"The Last of the Troupe" by Coombs
and Stone is alone worth the price
of admission. Williams & Rose in
the little comedy "Christmas Eve" is
a gem. Then there is Charles II.
Duncan, the jolly singing comedian
Kurtiss & Buse and their trained toy
dogs, William Wiindom in the "Col
ored Nurse Girl," Leon Le Chartiers
sings "Would You Care?" Then
there is the Lyriscopc and one of the
finest orchestras in town.
