At the last election in Colorado number
OF the counties elected women as super
intendents of public schools. The state
laws require that public school teachers
shall Instruct pupils against the use of
tobacco. Some of the women superntend-
ents have reached the conclusion that the
law indirectly requires that teachers
shall be non-users Of tobacco. They have,
therefore, revoked the licenses of a num-
her of male teachers ON the ground that
they are tobacco smokers. and are there
fore disqualified under the law. An APP
peal will be taken to the state board of
education. The women announce that
they propose 10 fight the point through

SOME VITAL STATISTICS.

Vital statistics for Massachusetts,
present several points of general inter-
est and public concern. During the
forty years from 1916 to 1895 the mar
riage rate has declined noticeably, u
fact accounted for by higher standards
of living and sharpened struggle for
the necessaries of life. There has also
been n decline in the birthrate during
the same period. Among the native
born it is shown to have fallen from
19.49 In 1850 to 1858 in 1896. Among the
foreign-born population the rate re-
manned about stationary, at about so
per thousand inhabitants, or double
that of the native-born population.
This calls attention to the fact that
the native population of Massachusetts
seems to be gradually dying out, since
two children to each married couple
does not offset the deaths.
Another fact is the increase of So
called illegitlmate births in the state.
The statistics on this point are not
complete but the conclusion arrived at
is that the ratio has risen from below
~ W ~ RNi ltVuv bllluS inc
period covered by the statistics. In Eu-
rope the ratio generally speaking is
much higher.
The population of Massachusetts has
nearly doubled during the forty years
but two-thirds of the increase is due
to immigration. The death rate has
increased, noticeably in the manufac-
turing cities. Infantile deaths bear q
| direct relation to the ratio of married
women employed away from theil
home
Some of these figures are of interest
as bearing more or less directly ON the
immigration question. The statistics
for Massachusetts are said to be tn,
most perfect so far obtained from any
of the states. They should be com.
pared with those OF others. and i
would probably he found that they
represent conditions quite general 1t

= WHY ABUSE THE rEorLEg

Professor Stewart is correct in say
Ing that the schools of Utah today
are something to be proud of and also
that the maintenance of an excellent
public school system always has been
the aim of the people of Utah since the
days of the first settlements in these
valleys. No matter what the circum-
stances of the people were, whether
starvation stared them In the face, or
Indians threatened TO blot them out
whatever were the UPS and downs in
cidental to the plantiiS of civilization
and the emblem of liberty in this inter-
mountain region the best possible edu-
cation of the children was among the
first concerns of the people. No matter
what is said to the contrary by those
who seem to regard 1t as their peculiar
mission to belttle the works of the
Pioneers, impartial history will give a
verdict in accordance with truth in the
matter.
In the meantime 1t may be well to
point out that 1t would be just as gem
erous, and just as much in accordance

The people here are patient and long
suffering, but 1t is difficult to see how
continual sneers and vilification of the

descendants can aid in maintaining
good will and cordially between the
different classes of people, believed to be
essential for the best interests of all.

MonmoNIsM IN MAyDoLE.

From newspaper clippings received
1t appears that correspondent of a
Scotch paper, signing himself PRO
Bono Publico," rehearses the old story
of the Spaulding manuscript and gives
a discourse on polygamy in order to
prevent Mormon missionaries in Ayr
shire from pursuing the labor Of con-
verting the people. Elders A. G. Adam
son and James Mcknight reply in the
same publication to the misrepre-
sensations of their antagonist. Among
other things they say:
'rhe gentleman is about twenty
years behind the times with his In
formation regarding the State of Utah
and Salt Lake City and its people.
Utah Is the most prosperous state in
the Union, Salt Lake City is the most
beautiful city in America. The people
are the happiest and freest In the
world. Ninety-iive per cent of the
Mormon people are the owners of their
homes, with beautiful orchards and
farms producing more than they con-
sumo. Their motto has always been;
Seek first the kingdom of God and
His righteousness and all other things
have been added unto them"
A common trouble among the enc
mics of the Church is that they attack
1t with weapons once perhaps formid-
able enough to look at but now rusty,
broken to pieces, Anticipated and harm
less. And yet they wonder why Nor
monism remains as powerful as ever
AS for the Spaulding manuscript story
that has long ago been relegated to
the domain of myth.

the results have been apparent, hardly

within. Truths at first rejected have
been gradually accepted; principles

sJ interesting because 1t proves that
the GOSPEL is power unto salvation
among the nations of the earth, and
that the great work of the Church
humble though her representatives may
be, is bearing fruit.
Not long ago n Baptist congress was
held at Chicago and one OF the ques-
lions discussed there was: us baptism
a prerequisite to the Lords Supper?'
Not less than four of the leading men
OF that denomination, all of them noted
for learning and integrity, argued that
II is not. One of the speakers Insisted
that there is no ground for the as
sumption that the Lords supper is n
church ordinance. and another speaker
took the position that the New Tesla
ment does not furnish model for a
true Christian church. lie is quoted as
follows:
1--WE challenge the assumption that
the New Testament does furnish us
with the model of the church; that the
model of the church was finished IN
