The necessity for extension of the
civil service to every department Of the
government becomes more apparent
every election Ii now appears that the
defeat Of Congressman Dockery Of Mis-
souri, was desired b. a large number Of
employees in the treasury department and
they raised a considera Bile sum of money
and sent it into his district to be used
against him. He had some plan for
reorganization of the department by
which a large number of vacancies
would be created which could be filed
by his friends The defeat of Dockery
was commendable and the government
employees probably felt that they were
acting in self defense. With civil SER
vice rules esta blished throughout the de-
partment they would not feel called
upon to NEEDLE in politics.

FROM every southern state comes cry
Of frauds. frauds, frauds. The number
of dishonest elections seems TO have been
as great as the honest ones. Right here
is the vital difference between the north

people are more Anglo saxon than the
northerners they seem TO have lost all
traces Of Anglo-S Saxon fair play. To
cheat, override and defraud the voters
Of the opposite party is The rule and not
she exception. In ON Watson's district
for instance, a county with 40, 900 popula-
ton does not hesitate to cast $1,000
votes, which is simply an Impossibility.

ancc in the path Of truth, as President
Woodruff is, or President Cannon, or as
was the Prophet Joseph Smith, or any
other man Of God that has ever stood
upon the earth. OF course, there IS
distinction that should be understood
on this point. President Woodruff "
called to be a prophet, seer and revel.
ator to the whole Church, You and
are not called to act In this capacity;
tut we are called to be the sons and
daughters OF God and should have the
testimony Of Jesus In our hearts; and
this constitutes prophets and secrs; for
when we have the Spirit Of God, we can
see the truth and comprehend His pur.
poses by the inspiration OF the spirit
that Is within us. And every man aud
woman In the household Of faith, II
faithful, Is as much entitled to the posses.
sion OF that spirit as is President Wood
ruf. One OF old said, would God that
all the Lords people were prophets, and
that the Lord would put His spirit upon
them" Paul In rNhofting the saints to
seek after tile gifts OF the Gospel, said,
"follow after charity, and desire spiri.
tual gifts, but rather that ye may pro.
phesy." II a man has the spirit of
NIbpNNhN ll0NA bAAf AN - flNllANAs
Not that he is thereby called to prophecy
to the whole Church; not that he is nee.
essarily called as lawgivcr unto the
Church; but he Is called to be child OF
God and to pariake OF the principles Of
light, intelligence, wisdom and knowl'
edge, which come, through revelation,
from God to man. II is night that every
man aud every woman should know Of
the doctrine for himself and herself; and
inasmuch as we may all enjoy this
spirit. and II We have this testimony in
our hearts. then we are inspired Of the
Lord and are prophets.
Furthermore, when we enter into the
sacred places that the Lord has instl-
tuted for as In this dIspensation, and re-
cciye certain ordinances and blessings
that God has ordained for such as are
worthy. we not only receive the GIT Of
the Holy Ghost, the testimony Of Jesus

our hearts, but we become THE Lords

aud uprightness, justice and charity

SO that Il Is no, such a terrible thought
that one should be called a prophet, aud
that we should have this responsibility

sacred thought. and while II may be re-.
