# Utah and the Mormons/Chapter 10

CHAPTER X.
GOVERNMENT.
* Priesthoods.
* The President is Prophet and Seer: his Power.
* Tithing.
* Individual cases.
* Tithing-office.
The government of the Mormon Church, like its doctrines, has been a matter of after-thought. At first it was simple enough, consisting of the prophet as the supreme head, and the leading men as priests under him, without division into particular orders. As the tide of success, however, began to elevate him upon its swelling flood, and visions of ambition and power floated through his brain, his ideas of government rapidly swelled and expanded, like an anaconda in swallowing a captive tiger. As multitudes gathered into the new Zion and its numerous stakes, they could not be moulded to the prophet's will and controlled without a regular system. This has given rise to a very singular machinery of Church government, part of which is apparent, and part, consisting of secret initiatory ceremonies, is sedulously guarded from profane curiosity.
That which is open to observation has been duly established by revelation, and consists of complicated and imposing machinery; and there is probably no government in the world so well calculated to concentrate despotic power in the hands of a few. There are two priesthoods in the Church—the Melchisedek and ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/180 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/181 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/182 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/183 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/184 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/185 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/186 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/187 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/188 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/189 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/190 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/191 ​Page:Utah-and-the-Mormons.djvu/192 ​the Mormon hierarchy, and probably forms a more perfect blending of Church and State than the world has ever yet seen. The temporal affairs of the community and all its members are governed by its ecclesiastical organization, which, in practice, is absolute, stern, unrelenting, and cruel. A Saint can neither marry, or get divorced, or sell his property, or successfully transact business, or leave the Great Basin, without the consent or against the advice of "council." The laws of Japan are not more minute and searching in their operations.

CHAPTER XI.
GOVERNMENT.
* Legislative Assembly
* Governor's Message, 1852.
* Legislation proceeds from the Church.
* No Freedom of the Ballot-box.
* Crimes.
* Murder of Hatch.
* Case of Goodyear.
* Joe Bankhead.
* Better Treatment of Emigrants.
* Thieving.
* Different Classes of Mormons.
THE Territory of Utah is organized as such under an act of Congress, and, theoretically at least, the laws of the United States applicable to territories are therein administered. Under the organic act, a Legislative Assembly was elected in the summer of 1851, and held a session in the following autumn and winter. At this session they passed a small body of laws, embracing the usual range of legislative action—the organization of the courts of justice—the punishment of crime (except bigamy)—the administration of estates—the incorporation of cities—the construction of roads and bridges—the training of the militia, &c., &c.

# An Evaluation of the Harbor of Yokosuka, Japan As a Typhoon Haven/Japan

3. JAPAN
3.1JAPANESE ISLANDS
Japan is an island nation in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean off the eastern coast of the Asiatic mainland consisting of a chain of islands extending in an arc from northeast to southwest. The northeastern tip of the chain is at 46N, 143E and the southernmost point is at 26N, 131E. The four main islands of Japan from north to south are Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. Hundreds of smaller islands lie off the coasts of the main ones. Figure 5 shows the position of Japan relative to the surrounding land and water masses.
3.2HONSHU
Honshu is the largest of the main Japanese Islands. Yokosuka, a major port city in southeast Honshu, is used continuously by the U.S. Navy. It is currently homeport for a number of SEVENTH Fleet units.
A detailed description of the coasts and harbors of Honshu can be found in the Sailing Directions (Enroute) for Japan, Pub. No. 156. For specific guidance on navigational aids and additional features in the vicinity of Yokosuka, consult Section 4 of the above.
# Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders/The Ark on Colhuacan

THE ARK ON COLHUACAN
OUR Aboriginal deluge legends resemble the Bible narrative of the food more closely than do those of any other people. The fertile-minded Ignatius Donnelly says that it is because they came direct from the continent of Atlantis, ​the sinking whereof in earthquake throes gave rise to the story of a destruction of all the earth's people, save a handful of the wiser. In the cosmogony of the Mexicans the world has passed through four ages: an age of giants, who were killed by famine; a succeeding age that ended in an enormous fire; an age of monkeys; and the age of "the sun of water," that ends in a deluge. The man, Coxcox, and the woman, Xochiquetzal, who survived floated about in a boat or raft hewn from a cypress trunk. This tale is variously told in different parts of the country, the Mechoacaneses relating that the man, with his wife and children, made a big vessel, drove animals into it, and also laid in a stock of grain, with which to replenish the earth when the seas should subside. After floating for one hundred and four years on the shoreless ocean, Coxcox freed a vulture. It never went back. Possibly it fell into the sea; mayhap it found some lonely peak rising from the flood and stayed there to feed on the drowned creatures. Then some other birds were set at liberty, and at last the humming-bird, the only one of them all to return, appeared to Coxcox with green leaves in its beak. The subsidence had begun. Presently the ark found shore at Antlan, wherever that may be, but it kept on to Chapultepec, and finally settled upon Mount Colhuacan, to which they gave the name of Antlan, after the first landing-place. Looking forth, the weary ones could see that the hills grew green as fast as the ​waters dropped away. They left their boat where it had found land, and went down into the comfortable valleys.
# Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders/Making the Sun

MAKING THE SUN
THERE was a time of darkness on the young earth, when the air was thick and damp and winds blew keen, when deep waters covered the valleys and strange creatures wallowed in the ocean slime, when faint forms of light appeared in the sky, though men could see little by them, when men were hungry, chilled, and sad. Wearying of this state, the earth gods built a temple on a tall place and called on the higher gods for light, begging also that the waters might be drawn off a little, so as to leave more foot-room. They prayed long, they offered sacrifices, they expressed humility, and sought commiseration by cutting themselves with stone knives. In time the waters drew away and there was light. Then came a hurricane that swept off trees, mounds, houses, and those people who had not hidden from its violence in caves, and the darkness brooded once more. No lamp had shone in heaven for many years, and the gods gathered at last at Teotihuacan, less than twenty miles from Mexico, and made a great fire, while they debated what should be done to make the land more happy. At last they told the people who had fallen prostrate about them that if any one would cast ​himself into the fire he should receive worship and honor, and win a place in the sky, as a sun.
One of the men, Nanahuatzin, advanced with reverences, and begged that he might be light-bearer for the world. His request was granted. With a cry of farewell to his people he plunged into the blazing mass. The flames eddied about him, vast showers of sparks went up, and the heavens were overcast more blackly than before. Now the people turned their backs to the fire and began to peer this way and that, curiously, eagerly, for in the long time of darkness they had forgotten where the east and the west lay, and even what the sun was like. At last came a bright star, heralding the dawn, and then all voices cried, "There!" It was in the east. Then the people implored the god whose sign is the snake to make an end of the fogs and coldness, and change Nanahuatzin, according to the promise. Soon a green light appeared, edging the horizon against the sky; it heightened and cleared, and in a joy the people danced, with faces toward the east, holding high their pans of smoking incense, and presently they dropped forward, for the sun was up. At first he gave little heat, for the mist hung about him, the earth dried slowly, and the people sang a hymn lamenting all who had died in the dark. "We, indeed, have seen the sun, but now that his light appears, what has become of them?" At each rising the sun grew warmer, the ice left the ponds, the plains ​dried and became green, birds sang and animals gambolled in delight; and, always keeping their faces toward the sun, the people forgot their other gods. When, at length, they turned to Teotihuacan, lo! those other gods were figures of stone. The sun had petrified the beings from whom he had gained his power, and, forgetting their dead divinities, the people gave all their worship to the new one, the source of life.
# Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders/Fathers of the Miztecs

FATHERS OF THE MIZTECS
FAR back, in the time before light, when the earth was covered with water and slime, a god and a goddess appeared. They knew their power, and they practised it in building a palace for ​themselves that should be worthy of the occupancy of gods. It was vast in size, splendid in appointments, a true Walhalla, and on its roof was a copper axe, edge upmost, on which the heavens rested. The rock on which this palace stood was near Apoala, in Mizteca Alta, and was called The Place of Heaven. Two sons were born to these deities, the elder amusing himself as an eagle by long flights through the air, and the other turning himself into a winged snake, in which form he could pass through rocks. Such were the roaring and clashing in their wild rushes that the mountains rang with echoes. These sons made a temple in a flowering and fruiting meadow, where they burned incense in clay vessels and made sacrifices to their father and mother, praising them greatly and begging for a better light. Their garden was the only dry place, except the Place of Heaven, and they prayed that the waters might be drawn off so as to leave other spots to stand on. In order to please the parents more, the sons lacerated themselves, cutting their ears and tongues with stones and throwing the blood over the garden, with willow twigs. Thus they gained light and other favors. Afterward came the human race, and being wicked it was drowned from off the face of the earth, all save the ruling family, for this did not owe its origin to the gods, but to two great trees that stood at the gate of Apoala gorge, bending in a constant gale. Each of these trees begat a boy, and the ​braver of the two, finding the sun mischievous in its glare and heat, shot at it with arrows until he had much wounded it and forced it to hide behind the mountains. To our own day the Miztec coat of arms remains,—a chief with bow, arrows, and shield, with the sun setting behind clouds in the distance.
