EXTERNAL EVIDENCE OF INTERNAL POISON
Whenever a sore or uker refuses to heal, it is a sure sign of a diseased
condition of the blood. The sore itself is simply an outside evidence of
tome internal poison, and the only way to care it is to remove the deep
underlying cause. Sores and Ulcers originate usually from a retention in
the system of bodily waste matters and impurities. These should pass c5
through the natural avenues of waste, but because of a sluggish condition ©f
the different members they are retained iu the system to be taken up by the
blood. This vital fluid soon becomes unhealthy or diseased, and the
skin gives way in some weak place and a Sore or Uloer is formed. The con
stant drainage cf impurities through a sore causes it to fester, grow red and
inflamed and eat deeper into the surrounding flesh, and often there is severe
p«in and some discharge. S. S. S. is tire remedy for Sores and Ulcers.
It is nature’s blood purifier, made entirely
of vegetable matter, known to be specifics
for all blood diseases and disorders. S. S. S.
goes down to the very bottom of the
trouble, and removes the poison and im

He Never Had

Doctrine of Polygamy Not
Obligatory Upon Members
of Morman Church
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. Senator
Reed Smoot's long expected address to
ihe Senate Tuesday in defense of hit:
position as Senator from Utah was the
feature of the session. He was sup
ported by Senator Dillingham. of Ver
mont. In an analytical speech of the
evidence which had been submitted In
the case. Mr. Hmoot condemned po
lygamy In the strongest terms and
declared emphatically that he had
tskiin no oalh Inconsistent with that
he hen taken as Henalor.
"The Senate is entitled to know my
personal altitude u{»on the subject of
polygujnv." said Mr. Smoot, “snd
upon the subject of loyalty to this
Government Upon those two matters
1 shah express myself briefly, but with
• ntlie candor.
Nevsr Had But One Wife.
"First, I desire to state, as I have
repeatedly heretofore stated, to the
Senate and to the country, that I am
not and never have been a polygamist.
I never have had but one wife, and
she Is my present wife. There has
been a more or less prevalent opinion
that the doctrine of polygamy was
obligatory upon the members of the
Mormon church, whereas, in truth and
fact, no such obligatory doctrine' has
ever existed. The revelation concern
ing polygamy, ns originally made and
always Interpreted, Is permissible and
not mandatory. As a matter of fact,
only a small percentage of the adher
ents of that faith have ever been po
lygamists. The vast majority of the
adult members of the church from its
foundation to the present time have
been monogamists. The Mormon peo
ple, however, regarded tht« doctrine,
although permissible in character, as
part of their religious faith, and when
the law was passed denouncing Its
practice the execution of the law was
resisted on the ground that It was un
constitutional as being an Interfer
ence with thetr religious ilberty. Ap
peals were token to the highest courts
of the land, every phase of the sub
ject was tested in the courts, and the
law was upheld. Then the church
adopted the manifesto against polyg
amy, which was ratified by the gen
eral conference of the people and
(hereupon the practice of polygamy for
the future was abandoned.
There wear in 1890 about 2.151 male
members of the Mormon church who
had' polyg.amist families. That these
were placed in a position of difficulty
was recognized by all who were famil
iar with conditions.
"The present conditions in reference
to polygamous cohabitation have
grown out of past conditions and both
must be considered together to fully
understand the toleration exercised by
most of the people of Utah. Mormon
and non-mormon alike.
Non-Mormon Offioiaia Ruled.
“At that time all the machinery of
The courts in The territory was in the
hand* of the non-Mormon officials,
who hud been vigorous in the prosecu
tion of polygamous relationships.
These recognized Lite vexed nature of
the situation, and extended the olive
branch as us it were. As c relief in
this came an exercise of forbearance
on the part of the prosecuring offi
cers. The three assistant United
States District Attoroys for that
period were E. P. Crltchlow. Frank B.
Stephens and Mm. M. McCarty. Judge
McCarty was inclined to continue pros
ecutions in some cases, but the United
States District Attorney refused to
allow his accounts therefor, and he
ceased.
"Mr. Crltchlow was the writer of the
principal protest in this case, and one
of Its signers. All of these and other
government prosecuting officers testi
fied before the committee to the cessa
tion of prosecutions against the exist
ing polygamous relations, and of the
general sentiment among the non- i
Mormon population tlm that was the |
since the manifesto. I believe sin-
(e'rely. Mr. President, that such cases I
have been rare. They hove not re- t
ceived the sanction or the encourage- j
mem of the church.” f
“The Mormon church has stopped i
plural marriages. and no- polygamous
relation assumed -'uhaequent to 1S90
is with the permission, sanction or
approval of the church; that is final
and fixed. Every such violation of
the law has the express condemnation
of the church.
"Reference has been made to an
alleged treasonable obligation which
it Is sought to claim is a part of the
Mormon endowment ceremonies. The
Senate will understand that these cer
emonies are therefore not divulged.
They were Instituted in the Mormpn
church by Joseph Smith, some time
prior to his death, and are yet given
ns part of the temple oeremonies; be
ing of a religious spiritual character,
they, tire for the living ar.d for the
dead, a part of the Mormon belief be
ing vicarious performance of ordi
nance and ceremonies .
"There doc- not exist In the en
dowment ceremonies of the Mormon
church, tho remotest suggestion of
hostility or of antagonism to the
United States or to any other nation.
They are of a purely religious nature,
wholly between the person taking them
and his God. and as with tho ritual of
various fraternal organizations re
garded'as sacred and secret.
Loyally Answerod Call to Arms.
"The State of Utah came Into the
Union eleven years ago.
"Scarce two years had passed when
there appeared on our national hori
zon the cloud of war with Spain. Side
by side, shoulder to shoulder, with
every other State In the Union, Utah
furnished their equal quota of Ameri
can soldiers and offered more.
"There was no question of religious
distinction or dispute then. The Utah
light artillery was composed of men
i differing in religious beliefs, including
orthodox Mormons, who had partaken
of their church rights, known as the
endowment ceremonies.
"Major Richard A. Young, the com
manding officer of the Utah Light Ar
tillery, was one of these. Sergeant
Harry A. Young, and others who gave
up their lives for the flag, were of tills
number. And in so far as these en
dowment ceremonies may have rela
tion to this Government and unre
served and undisputably accurate in
terpretation Is given by the record of
the Mormons mustered intc the Utah
Light Artillery, which served In the
war with Spain and during the subse
quent Philippine insurrection. No
man has a right to question that in
terpretation; no true American will
do it; it is inscribed in letters of fire
by the history of many a battlefield.
Owes Allegiance to No Church.
“And here In tho Senate of their
countrymen, upon the incontrovertible
witness borne by the brave survivors
and the heroic dead of the Utah Light
Artillery, I hurl back the charge of
the defamer that there never was a
word or breath of hostility or disloy
alty In the sacred religious ceremo
nies. which they, or any other persons
participated In. as members of tho
Mormon Churcji.
"In closing let me say under my ob
ligation as a Senator that what-I have
said under oath before the committee,
that I have never taken oath or obli
gation. religious or otherwise, which
conflicts in the slightest degree with
my duty as a Senator or as a citizen.
I owe no allegiance to any church or
other organization which in any way
interferes with my supreme allegiance,
in civil affairs, to my country—an
allegiance which I freely, fully and
gladly give."

headed barber for an effective hair re
storer a* to look to the Republican
party for a revision of the tariff."
Representative Williams' letter fol

“I have receive^ your note of Feb

addressed to the President and the
Congress of the United States. The

"If Senator Lodge takes the same

know that the failure to increase the

traceable directly to the obstinacy of
Mr. Macon. Mr. Macon was on his

“You cannot make any threats

Mr. Fitzgerald with much delibera

pass on the increase. If therefore the
gentleman from Arkansas insisted that
there should be no increase in the pay
of clerks in city offices because he
happened to live in a rural community
that then the increase for the rural
carrier would have to go, too. Mr.
Macon secured a hearing. He com
