SUNDAY PAPERS AND THE PULPIT.

1t is not worth while to engage in
argument with the members of the
Ministers Association over the Sunday
for themselves and have made their own
place. They are an institution as firmly
established as the weekday newspaper,
and cannot be written down, preached
down or frowned down. If they distract
the attention of the people from the
pulpit 1t does not follow that their in
fuence is not for good. The public as
a rule knows its own needs, and 1t is
Just possible that II gets more profit
from the paper than the pulpit. 1t be-
hooves the pastors to exert themselves
to offer greater attractions. to rise to a
great occasion and meet the wants,
moral, intellectual and spiritual, Of an
age which is more exacting than any
which has gone before because it has
wider Information and greater breadth
of view-a breadth gained in part, at
least, from newspaper reading. The
time is past when the preacher was Sir
Oracle to his congregation. He may still
be a counselor and friend, but he cam
not dictate opinions or conduct. His
hearers have learned to think and act
for themselves. He must adapt himself
TO changed conditions If he would MAIN
tain his influence, and must work in
harmony with the new elements of So
ciety and civilization, such as Sunday
newspapers, and not against them. The
Sunday paper has faults in common
with the papers of the other six days,
but these are matters Of detail to be
done away with or modified as time
passes. 1t is, at all events, not a thing
to be done away with or cast into outer
darkness. The reverend brethren must
try to live up to 1T.

GERMANY,s MONROE DOCTRINE.

Strange as it may seem in the face OF
the protestations of Secretary Chamber
lain, of the Salisbury Ministry and of
the British authorities IN South Africa
that the impetuous DR.. Jameson cut the
wires and went after the Beers in spite
of orders to the contrary, experienced
people smiled incredulously at the out
set. Now the same experienced people
openly sneer at the idea that a subordi-
nate of the British government should be
represented as ignoring his superiors in
authority and going forth to war in de-
fiance of them. 1t is a representation
which the innocent, the more they con-
slider it, must regard as remarkable
action on the part of a subordinate in
a service which. whatever else 1t does,
has made II very clear for hundreds of
years that subordinates obey In fact,
the more the alleged INSTRUMENTATION of
DIR. Jameson in going to war with the
Beers is considered the more difficult
one finds 1t to believe it.
If the truth could be known it would
probably be shown that all of DR.. Jane
sons superiors were in the conspiracy,
and might have succeeded had not the
sturdy Kruger outwitted them by MAX
ing such concessions to the foreigners in
Johannesburg that they would not join
the force sent by the British trading
company. Chamberlain, the British
Secretary for the Colonies, learning that
the German Emperor would take hand
in the matter. saw the Importance OF
disavowing the action OF DR.. Jameson,
and his subordinates in South Africa
were equally jealous and anxious to
shift the responsibility upon Jameson.
The unlikelihood OF the Chamberlain
story is, however, a matter of minor i'm
portance. The most important fact in
the affair is that Germany has protested
and its protest has had weight. Indeed,
1t is the protest of the war Emperor
which makes the situation most interest
ing In Great Britain. The fact which
makes ii most interesting TO us is that
Germany had less pretext or right TO
interfere with British designs in the
land OF the Beers than the United States
had to protest against the policy of Great
Britain toward Venezuela We have the
unprecedented Monroe doctrine to base
our action upon. but Germany has Moth
ing of the sort as the basis of its protest
or ground for the telegram OF tbs EN-
peror extending his assistance to the
Beers in defending their territory against
the aggressions of the British. At no
time has Germany shown an interest
In the welfare OF the Beers. Now IT.

THE FORTY-FIIsTH STATE.

On Saturday the President issued his
of Utah into the Union after a terri
torial existence which began in 1850
when, with New Mexico, it became a
Territory as a part Of the compromise
measures Of that year. Yesterday, with
demonstration worthy the important
transition from the dependency Of Ter
ritory to the sovereignty of State.
the people and officials of Utah cele-
brated the important event. Mormon
ism has kept Utah from the dignity and
privilege of statehood for a quarter Of a
century. For years the most populous
and fourishing of the far West settle
ments, Utah had in 1870 more inhabi-
tants than had Idaho or Wyoming when
admitted into the Union in 1890. In
1890 Utah had a population of 2OS,0O0;
but, by the territorial census taken the
past year. it had population of 247,O00
"a gain of nearly 20 per cent. in five
years. But four States have entered the
Union with a larger population than
Utah-Maine. Wisconsin, South Dakota

to be State; the valuation of it's real
and personal property was $349, 100000.
At the present time the Mormon ele-
ment holds the supremacy, but those
who are best acquainted with the situa-
ton see nothing to fear from that in
fiuence, considering the rapid growth of
population and diversity of industry.
The Constitution Of the new State con-
tains many admirable features. 1t pro-
vides literally for a free school system,
limits State and municipal debt, gives
meager salaries with long terms for
State officers, prohibits trusts, and de-
fines as crime any interference with
the right to obtain and enjoy employ
ment. The only popularity in it is that
1T insures woman suffrage and tries
the experiment Of a trial by jury Of
eight persons. three-fourths of whom
can render verdict in civil cases.
Tomorrow delegates of Oklahoma will
assemble to form a constitution with a
view to applying for admission to the
Union. Its population warrants this
action. since it is Territory which is
rapidly growing. 1t has not the wealth
nor the stability Of Utah, but its varied
population, If it has not had time to take
so deep root, has intelligence and push.

Hon. A. III. Garland, who was Attor-
ney-general Of the United States during
President Cleveland's first administra-
ton, is not in favor of a third term for
his former chief. In fact, he believes
not only that Mr.. Cleveland ought not
to be and would not be elected, but that
no Democrat will gain the honor next
time. In long article in the Washing
ton Post on the subject of third terms
he says: 1.-The signs Of the political
weather now point quite directly-what-
ever may be the changes for the next
few months-to the choice for this high
trust Of a William Gwo chances), a

During the past two months hundreds OF
Mormons, residing near Independence. Mo-
Nauvoo, H., and in Lee county, Iowa, nave
been making their annual pilgrimages 10
the old Mormon crossing of the Big Blue
river in Marshall county. Near this nistor-
ic spot are the Above springs. where Sd
many of their people were massacred by
the Indians in 1876 as they were making
their way across the great American desert
to Salt lake. They have been visiting the
old crossing in small bands since the lst or
September crossing the Big Blue where
their forefathers did and resting Few days
near the springs, where religious services
were regularly held in commemoration or
the early pioneers who braved the dangers
and opened the way TO the new Mormon
settlement at Salt lake. The old Mormon,
or Independence" crossing OF the Big Blue
is one Of the most historic spots in Kan
sas. 1t has been visited by thousands or
Mormons since the days OF 1876. ana the
people who now live in the vicinity look
forward to the pilgrimage of these people
every year as one OF the incidents or spe-
cial note in Marshall county ii Is the

such gatherings as these.
When the first immigrant trains carrying
the Mormon people and their beionsings
to the Great Salt lake crossed the Rg
Blue at this now historic spot there was
scarcely a vestige of civilization In that
region of country. For ages its prairies had
grasses: vast herds of buffalo had for
numheress years wandered almost unno-
Tested across them. Nothing disturpe It's
solitude save an occasional band OF no.
madic Indians in search Of prey or plumber
and the hardy frontiersman. who Is always
found far in advance Of civilization. AS
early as 1920 Maj Stephen IL. Long crossed
that par. Of Kansas now known as Mar
shall county In command OF an expedition
from Pittsburg TO the Rocky mountains.
General Fremont, on his expedition TO tho
Rocky mountains In 1924. passed through
that section OF the State and mentions IN
his travels several immigrant wagons en-

Smith the Mormon apostle. with his band
OF followers from Illinois. opened his way
through this country. crossing the Big Blue
river at the old Mormon" independence"
or california" crossing. This was six
miles below the preserf town OF Maryy1le,
the county seat of Marshall county. For
two years the exed Latter-dav Saints
passed over the trail that led TO this cross
ing OF the Big Blue river. At one time a
Mormon canning marty was surrounded by
Indians at this famous spot, and all were
killed. Among the party were several

ittal welfare Of the pioneers who had gone

pilgrimages to the Above springs, where
appropriate services are held.
