==ActivitiesAttività innello Utah==

<!--

On his return to Utah, Snow founded a society called the [[polysophical society]] to conduct study into the various aspects of human knowledge. He encouraged church members of all ages to join and some view this organization as a predecessor of the [[Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association]].

Riga 126:

Some{{who|date=settembre 2010}} accused Snow of engineering the election of [[Thomas Kearns]], his friend and a wealthy Catholic to the United States Senate in 1901. However it may have been a shrewd decision to help ensure statehood for Utah by electing a non-Mormon.<ref>Malmquist, O.N.:''The First 100 Years,'' pp..</ref>

==OtherAltre activitiesattività==

* Arrested and confined for unlawful [[cohabitation]] (1885–1886)

Riga 132:

* Between April 1901 and his death, Snow served as the general superintendent of the church's [[Sunday School (LDS Church)|Sunday School]] program.

==ActivitiesAttività in Idaho==

As the church expanded into the surrounding states, members of the Quorum of the Twelve would be sent to other states of assignment.

In 1888, Snow went to [[Rexburg, Idaho]]. While here he told the leaders of the [[Stake (Latter Day Saints)|stake]] that [[Karl G. Maeser]] had been appointed [[Church Educational System|Commissioner of Church Education]] and recommended that they form a stake academy. The local leaders followed Snow's instructions and the institution they formed eventually evolved into [[Brigham Young University–Idaho]].<ref>[http://www.byui.edu/pr/thespiritofricks/ch1.htm Public Relations Office – BYU–Idaho]</ref>

==Snow inialla theCorte U.S.Suprema Supremedegli CourtStati Uniti==

Snow was the subject of a [[United States Supreme Court]] case regarding [[polygamy]] prosecutions under the [[Edmunds Act]]. In late 1885, Snow was indicted by a federal grand jury for three counts of unlawful cohabitation. According to his indictments, Snow had lived with more than one woman for three years. The jury delivered one indictment for each of these years, and Snow was convicted on each count. After conviction he filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in the federal district court which convicted him. The petition was denied, but federal law guaranteed him an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. In ''[[Ex Parte Snow]]''<ref>{{ussc|120|274|1887}}</ref> the Supreme Court invalidated Snow's second and third convictions for unlawful cohabitation. It found that unlawful cohabitation was a "continuing offense," and thus that Snow was at most guilty of one such offense for cohabiting continuously with more than one woman for three years.
