The bronze statue of President Ar

York this week, is the work of George
E. Bissell. The $4,000 needed for its
designing and construction was raised
without public appeal, and so quietly
that comparatively few knew of the
project. The memorial is we'll deserved

Six widows of Brigham Young were
in Salt Lake City to attend the recent
celebration of the 9Sth anniversary of
the prophets birth. Four other sur
vivors and the sixteen deceased widows
were generously represented by pro-
geny of some three hundred children.
The display is described as an impress
sive spectacle. Senator Rawllns, who
was one of the chief orators of the oc-
casion, spoke optimistically of Our en-
pire in Utah." and predicted that in
time Brigham Young's statue would
be erected in the capitol at Washing
ton, side by side with those of "other
founders of the American nation" A
genius for prophecy has always been
claimed by the Mormons as one Of
their strongest points, but their pro-
phecy has not always hit the mark.
Brigham Young once declared that
polygamy would be forced down Tie
throat of the United States govern
ment. Yet when it comes to a contest
over seat in congress. the Mormons
are at some pains to prove that Brig
ham Roberts is not a polygamist and
is not living in defiance of the law.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1899-09-05
Henry Maxwell was silent some time.

4nen ne answered.
"No; l don't know that we can ex-
pect that. But when it comes to a gen
ulne. honest, enlightened following Of
Jesus steps | cannot believe there will
be any confusion either in our own
minds or in the Judgment of others.
We must be free from fanaticism on
one hand and too much caution on the
other. If Jesus example is the example
for the world, it certainly must be
feasible to follow it. But we need to
remember this great fact-after we
have asked the Spirit to tell us what
Jesus would do and have received an
answer to it we are to act regardless of
the results to ourselves. Is that under
stood2"
All the faces in the room were raised
toward the minister in solemn assent.
There was no misunderstanding the
proposition. Henry Maxwell's face
quivered again as he noted the president
of the Endeavor society, with several
members. seated back of the older men
and women.
They remained a little longer, talk
eAS OVcA uSutSllS Uuu asking QueSUlOLS,
and agreed to report to one another ev-
cry week at a regular meeting the re-
suit Of their experiences in following
Jesus in this way. Henry Maxwell
prayed again. And again. az before. the
Spirit made himself manifest. Every
head remained bowed a long time. They
went away finally in silence.
There was a feeling that prevented
speech. Henry Maxwell shook hands
with them all as they vent out. Then
he went to his own study room back of
the pulpit and kneeled down. He re-
manned there alone nearly half an hour.
When he went home, he went into the
oom where the dead body lay. AS he
looked at the face he cried in his heart
again for strength and wisdom. but not
even yet did he realize that a move
ment had been begun which would lead
to the most remarkable series of events
that the city of Raymond had ever
known.

Many of the trusts recently formed are over capitalized and can never pay dividends on their watered stock with out greatly advancing the price of their products and thus becoming an oppres- sion and burden to the pablio. One of the recent trusts, incorporated under the laws of New Jersey, is already in trouble and has gone into the hands of . receiver. The American Woodwork ing Machine Company was incorporated late in 1897 with . capital of $4, GOO, 900 besides an authorized bond issue of 3D. 100000 Its offices are at No. Al Broadway, New York, and it has plants in many states. It is almost certain that the legion of trusts will cause the public to suffer in two ways. FIRST. by raising the price of manufactured arti- cles and the necessities of life. SECOND, by eventually freezing out their minori- ty stockholders and thus gobbling what ever money the minority stockholders have invested in trust stocks. Shrewd business men will soon begin to with draw their investments in trust stocks and will purchase farms or other real estate and when the bubble of imitation bursts they will have something sub stantial and reliable in their possession instead of having only handsomely printed stock certificate to show for their money.
