"CHURCH INFLUENCE" !"

Some newspapers still continue to
discuss the question of church influ-
ence as affecting elections in Utah.
We entirely agree with the Salt Lake
Tribune in two statements it makes
which are that 'e majority of the Nor
mon votes in the territory were demo-
cratic votes" and that "8J per cent. OF
the old liberals are republicans" and
we deduce from these facts the con-
clusion that the Mormon church in a
body has not gone over to the enemy;
but we also believe that some promi-
nent MOrmons who are republicans,
did influence many Mormon voters TO
vote with them.
Oar contention is that men should
not use any but political influences
with voters, and that whenever any
man high or low tries to influence
voters In the exercise of their fran-
chise bY means of his ecclesiastical pc
sition he is acting outside of his proper
sphere and ought not to be followed
by those who recognize his leadership
in matters pertaining to the church.
We emphaUicallY deuy that "church
influence" has been exercised in form,
but are fully satisfied that with some
persons the advice or suggestion Of
church leaders has produced the same
effect as formal church declaration
would have done, and claim that under
such circumstances majority of the
Mormon voters have good cause TO
complain of the effect, and to demand
that the political consciences of the
majority should be respected to the
extent that they may be able to main
tain precisely the same relation to
their brethren in church matters as
they would if all agreed politically.
We want to make the distinction
squarely and broadly between the two
facts, that the church, as church, is
not in politics, but that most of ite
members as individuals, are in poll
tics, and to lay down the further prop
osition that the political savings and
doings of each individual neither gains
nor loses weight by the fact that he is
either lay member, or prominent
official. 1t is the connecting of the
sacred prestige of priestly influence
with political work that we object to-
and whilst we desire to accord TO every
voter every privilege we claim for any
other voter, the majority of the Nor.
mon voters protest against two things.
One is; Republicans claiming church
influence on their side when we are a
majority of the church; and the other
is, any attempt to reduce our majority
by means of suggestions to the effect
that some church leaders favor repub
licanism. Both have been done, and
it is high time it ceased. at once and
forever.
The suggestion that Mormons favor
home industry Is true of both demo.
Gratis and republicans. Mormon dem
ocrats believe in DUNG as Brigham
Young and his followers did in start.
ing the manufacture of woolen goods
combining their own means, OF their
own volition, and building factories and
paying for them with their own money
Our republican friends want to sup
port home industries by the taxes Of
the people whether they want to psy
taxes for that purpose or not; but bott
want home industries supported. and
it is the veriest rot to suggest that the
supporting of home industry has any
thing in the world to do with politics

a variety of advice, and to get away
from the possibility of doing that /
wish to offer the following hints as the
most valuable and concise hat occur
to me. Study your farm conditions and
learn exactly what sheep will thrive
best upon it IL you are not able 10
purchase even n small flock of pure
bred or high grade sheep. hen put all
you can sdvantageously in a pure bred
ram. and after that do the best you
can in buying ewes. Start right, even
rapidly increase. In purchasing a ram
get one fully developed, strong in bone,
straight shaped and thoroughly typical
of his breed and sex. l have always
had an intuitive liking for the lamb
h a will cave a group of his fellows
in the field and boldly front you. Do
not purchase sheep that you have no
trust in for proper development 1t is
only the experienced breeder who can
forecast development Never take an
iIl-doing sheep, even If it is cheap, with
the expectation hat il will become
right In selecting sheep, handle them
SO that you may know how much of
their form is due to themselves and
how much to the shears. Select as
critically as you can to a chosen type.
Uniformity is a cheap feature for you
TO buy and yet a valuable one In a
flock. There is no sheep that embodies
perfection in sheep qualities. Judging
between different sheep is a checking
of weakness and a balancing of quail
ties. BE inclined toward the sheep
that appears better every time it
catches your eye. The purchaser will
find it to his interests TO select from
the field fitted for show. The best
time to buy is usually in the fall. Pro-
vision may be made with the seller to
have the ewes served by a ram Of diff
ferent breeding from the one you buy,
and thereby you add another seasons
use TO the ram of your flock.-J. A.

green is valuable for those insects
which chew, and has the great recon-

The kerosene emulsion is valuable for
those insects which suck. The great
objection to it, the bother of preparing

II is the province of the black chamber

reaches its destination, while the send
ers of IL are reported to the police for
punishment. Exceptions, however, are
made when it suits the purposes of the
authorities to leave the addrcssee and
the sender both in the belief that they
have remained undiscovered. The
Russian laws on censorship are very
severe and comprehensive. They for
bid the mention of the czar and of his
family in private correspondence as
well as In the press, and they forbid
critical remarks of a religious, philo-
sophical or military character. The
black chamber is intrusted with the
duty OF watching that these prohibit
tions are complied with.
1t is, OF course, impossible to open
and examine every letter that Is con,

A SCIENTIFIC MARVEL
A Broken Soap Bubble Floating 90
Liquid Air.

Liquid Air.
One Of the most wonderful achieve
ments in recent scientific progress is
the liquefaction Of air. A remarkable
story Of this curious substance and 3
soap bubble experiment is told in a late
review of scientific experiments in gen
eral. and is as follows:
"A frozen soap bubble. broken in two
and floating like an iridescent, trans
parent egg shell on the surface Of a YES
sci of liquid air was one of the marvelf
exhibited by Prof. Dewar in a recent
lecture before the Royal institution OF
Britain.
The lecture was on atmosphere and
the curious effects OF intense cold, the
liquid air and soap bubble being ad.
iuncts introduced to facilitate some ex-
plantations A few spoonfuls of the
liquid air were poured into a vessel, and
the intense cold caused by evaporation
Immediately induced a miniature snow.
storm in the atmosphere directly above
the vessel. A soap bubble was then
lowered into the freezing stratum
above the liquid air. Almost instantly
there was a change in the color of tbs
transparent globe, the bubble becom-
ing much darker; the movements Of
the rainbow film grew slower; it con-
tracted somewhat in size, and a mo-
ment later froze. A slight but dexter
GUS movement Of the rod upon which
the bubble was suspended broke the
latter into two pieces, which fell, cup
side up, upon the liquid air and there
ioated for an hour, gradually accumu-
lating q tiny snowdrift from the almost
imperceptible precipitation constantly
going on in the freezing atmosphere
above"
