THS SUNDAY OBEGONIAff, POBTLASTO, APBIL 24. 1904. ULE OF CHURCH Powers Likens Mor monism to a Trust. ITS PART IN COMMERCE Witness Says Politics is Played to Get Franchises. EVERYTHING IS KEPT SECRET Judge Called in Smoot Case Consid ers Interference In Worldly Affairs a Worse Feature Than "Polygamy. WASHINGTON. April 23. When the In vestigation of the Smoot case opened to day, Judge O. W. Powers was again called to the stand. He referred to a petition pre pared by supporters of Moses Thatcher for Senator, addressed to the Senate of the United States alleging that church Influ ence had been used in the election and asking for an Investigation. Another in stance of church interference had been shown, he said, in the Mayoralty contest at Provo, -when Reed Smoot favored the candidacy of George Sutherland. The wit ness said Smoot was held in disfavor with the church and charged "with going to the liberal party. Senator Overman asked if women were elected to the Legislature in Utah. The witness answered in the affirmative, and said a woman was chairman of the ju dicial committee of the House in the Leg islature "which elected Mr. Smoot as Sena tor. "Did she vote for Smoot?" asked Senator Overman. "I understand she did." Senator Dubois Judge Powers, what do you regard the chief exhibition of church domination over political af fairs that has come to your notice?' "It occurred at the April, 1S9 6, con ference, when the political rule, that is, the manifesto against Mormons entor lng politics without consent of church authorities, -was adopted. This rule was adopted without a dissenting vote, and at the same conference Moses Thatcher was droppod from the rolls as an apost1-?, and no explanation of any character was made." Senator McComas How do the young men in the Mormon Church regard the practice of polygamy? Young Mormons Oppose Practice. "I think the young Mormon men and women, too, are opposed to the practice strongly opposed, although I confess I cannot understand the power the church is able to exert over them. I believe, however, that if the church authorities should attempt to ro-estab-llsh polygamy, by revelation or other wise, there would be trouble." In regard to continuation of polyga mous cohabitation, Judge Powers said that some look upon this -condition with tolerance, and others witli open-hostility.' Several Senators engaged in the discussion of the future of polygamy, and Judge Powers said he believed the practice could not last any more than could slavery. Continuing, he said: "But I do not regard polygamy as the worst feature of the Mormon religion. What I object to most Is its un-American domination by the hierarchy of the people of that belief the belief In the right of the church authorities to prescribe rules, the belief that the head of the church is Inspired, and interference of the church in political and commercial af fairs." Senator Hopkins The same charge about commerce can be made against other churches In a limited way, can it not? "Not as I make the statement here," said Mr .Powers. "I do not know of any other church that conducts bathing beaches, street railways, electric light and power plants, banks mines and mills, and that attempts to control National politics for the purpose of obtaining concessions and franchises " Senator Hopkins There Is the Methodist Church in Chicago, of which I am a mem ber. It engages in business, and I have always supported that idea. Attorney Worthingtbn said: "And the 'Trinity Church in New York also owns and rents property." "But, as I understand it. Judge Powers means that the Mormon church Is a trust and owns and controls great commercial institutions," said Senator McComas. Says Church Is Trust. "That is it; it is a trust," said Judge Powers. Senator Bailey asked Senator Hopkins and Mr. Worthlngton if the Methodist Church in Chicago, and Trinity Church in New York, engaged in mercantile af fairs, and both admitted that the business consisted mostly In owning property and receiving rents. Senator Dubois suggest ed that if comparisons of power of the Mormon and Methodist Church were to be made it would be well to summon the' Bishop of the Methodist Church to tes tify. "If you were as well acquainted with Methodism as I am. It would not be nec essary to summon a bishop," retorted Senator Hopkins. "However, I may not be so well acquainted with Mormonism." Judge Powers continued in the line of making it clear the Mormon Church con trolled business in Utah to a large degree, and it was protected by secrecy which was hard to get at. Senator Overman remarked that there was no secrecy in Methodism and there fore comparisons were unnecessary. An adjournment was then taken until 2 o'clock. The cross-examination of Judge Powers began at the afternoon session. Ques tions by Mr. Vancott brought out state ments from the witness that he believed the Mormon Church would eventually as sume a position similar to that of other churches. With honest, upright and law abiding leaders, he thought the people would be honest and law-abiding. He deplored, however, that the people were disposed to obey the leaders of the church, whether such leaders were good or bad. Judge Powers admitted that Mr. Smoot had been prominent in working for Re publican Interests, before politics divided in Utah on party lines. It was brought out that Judge Powers was chairman of the committee which nominated Brigham Rob erts and Moses Thatcher, both of whom were Mormons. The witness said the nominations were the result of the ability "5T both men ana their courage in standing out against the political rule of the church. The witness said he had not been on the stump for Roberts and defended him. Continuing, he said to Mr. Vancott: "I do not think I was any more culpable than you were, who, I understand, went on the stump and supported the ticket without mentioning Mr. Roberts' name." The opposing candidate was Eldredge, another Mormon, but not a polygamlst Judge Powers said, however, that the ,dls tlnctlon was without a difference, as' El dredge connived at, aided and abetted polygamy. The cross-examination was concluded, but the witness was requested to remain in the city until Monday, to which time the committee adjourned.

The Becond resolution was sim ilarly adopted without a division, only two shares dissenting. The meeting then adjourned, tho entire session lasting only an hour and a quarter.

Race and Color Line Between East and West. Shanghai Correspondence London Dally News. Japan looks far Into the future, and sees that her path Is very lonely. Among the nations of earth she Is absolutely Iso lated. All Europe Is a family-quarreling now here, now there, yet kin and like. America Is of the same blood; and all the rest of the earth has been swallowed up the whole world, except this tiny Island empire at the remotest corner of Asia. Her own kindred on one side, Fili pinos, Malays, Kanakas, Maoris, have for a long time been mere chattels bought and sold, and tossed about from one white race to the other. Her kindred on the other side, the Tartar and Slbiric races, from Khiva to Kamchatka, from the Gurkhas to the Gllyaks, have ceased to exist as Independent peoples; those not already absorbed by Europe are "on the list" for absorption in due course. Japan's two nearest relatives of all, Corea and China can something be made out of them? Japan's future existence depends on her ability to drive a little energy into these two, arid drum them into some sort of shoulder-to-shoulder movement, before the last of the yellow races goes the way of tho brown and red and black, drawn Into the smelting furnace of benevolent assimilation, from which no colored race ever returns to life. Japan has before her a stupendous struggle for life. Perhaps not now; not this year, but for a hundred years to come. People in Europe do not realize this, simply because they are in Europe. If you never wore a permanent "colored complexion" you cannot realize what the race question Is; you can have no Idea of the colored side of It Out here, as convincingly as that the sun means light una warmui, so a Drown or yellow skin means Inferiority, subjection, to most people, and the Japanese-are bitterly re minded In thousands of little, unintended ways. It Is no mere matter of amour propre, but of life and death for tho na tion. The destiny of the subject peoples stares them in the face, and they nerve themselves to resist It It is not merely Russia, It Is tho all-devouring white race, and If the Russian portion happens to be the most in evidence, that Is a mere de tail. Had the islands been on the other side of the Pacific, they would have been attacked Dy toe wnite savages who ob literated such advanced civilizations as those of Peru and Mexico, and who crushed such sturdy fighters as the Sioux and Iroquois. Or, situated otherwise, Japan might have been treated with deference, like her cousin Nepal, or like Afghanistan; or she might have been simply grabbed, like Madagascar; or Christianized and demoralized, like the Philippines In Spanish days; or slaugh tered, like Bokhara: 6r charter-com-panled, like Borneo and Africa. But these are only varying phases" of one unbroken story; oil and water cannot mix, and tho white race cannot let the colored races live as Independent nations. All things considered, Japan might have had a harder nut to crack than Russia. For the Woman Who Wants to Grow. New York Press.
