PROVO MAN AT WASHINGTON.
Mr.. Kellogg Says the Mormons Are
Sensible and Fair.

Washington Post: "The town of
Provo, Utah, in which I live" said Mr..
\. NJ. Kellogg, at the Ebbitt, SIS over
Whelmingly Mormon in it's citizenship,
the Gentiles comprising not over 20 per
cent of the entire population AS an
illustration of the fair dealing and lib
eral sentiment of the Mormon people,
can give you no better instance than
the way they have treated their fellow
citizens of different religious faith.
Every school director in the town is
a Mormon, and the board could easily
find enough OF their own sect to fill
every teachers place in the public
schools. Owing to the dull times of
late years, there has been a great de-
m9nd for these places, but instead of
favoring their own exclusively, the
Mormons have never failed to choose
a larger per cent of Gentle teachers
than would be due the Gentle element
on a numerical basis of citizenship.
This, l believe, is really handsomer
conduct than our people would display
| if the conditions were reversed. If we
had 80 per cent of the population, it
would be an easy guess that pretty
close on 100 per cent of the teachers
would be Gentiles.
In other ways the Mormons show
their good sense. This year a non-par-
| tisan ticket was gotten out in the
municipal campaigns. and it was gen
orally considered to have it's inspira-
ton from the Mormon church. This
| made the Gentle element restless and
suspicious, for among them the idea of
the church being a factor in politics is,
of course, distasteful Before long, how
ever, the fact developed that many
| leading Mormons were strongly opposed
| to the ticket, and pretty soon they were
as much divided in it's support as the
rest of the voters. I have been opposed
| to them often, and have talked plainly
| to them in public meetings, but L cheer
! fully bear testimony to the many viz
tues and excellent conduct of the Nor
| mon population of Utah.

missionary doctor OF my acquaintance
tells me that whenever he goes on a
tour, he is literally besieged by the
sick, so much so that he can scarcely
find time to eat. and to treat 150 pa
tents in a day, all strangers to him,
is nothing unusual for him. To be
sure, the missionary doctor, as a mat

pie pay some nominal sum for their
