Progress of Western Roads.

The Railway Age of Cleveland, O., in
its January issue admits that the pen
nant for fast running on American
railroads has been transferred from the
east to the country west of the Missis-
sippi river. This statement is largely
due to the splendid showing made by
the Burlington fast mail trains between
Chicago and Council Bluffs. It will be
just fifteen years on March IL since the
first exclusive fast mail train LETT Chi
cago for the west. 1t then consisted of
one mail car and one baggage car. The
service has now grown to two trains,
one of three and the other Of five cars
carrying 200 tons of through mail.
Twelve times since the first train
started has the postoffice department
ordered the time to be cut down, and
each time the Burlington has met the
requirement. The run between Chicago
and Council Bluffs is now made in 10
hours and % minutes, an average of
fCrty-eight miles an hour. Recently
the run of 500 miles from Council Bluffs
to Chicago was covered in hours and
% minutes, full time, and in hours
and 1872 minutes, actual running time,
excluding stops. The train was delayed
in starting by a western connection
one hour and two minutes, but arrived
in Chicago exactly on time. The last
206 miles, from Burlington to Chicago.
was made in 213 minutes, full time, or
200 minutes actual running time.

There was joy at Denver and Rio

S. K. Hooper telegraphed: THE block

business is now being handled without
delay Harry Cushing jumped
straight up in the air. Agent Nevins
made no effort to conceal his exubef-
ance, and the office boy heaved a sigh
Of relief, for it has been his lot TO
answer the phone for the past ten
days and ward off the kicks that have
come over the line. But now the road
is clear, the business houses that
have had goods sewed up along the
road can no longer complain, The Her
aid forgets the worry caused by the
delayed arrival of it's carload of pa
per, and the Denver & Rio Grande is
ready to handle its profitable share Of
western traffic.
The blockade of the Denver & Rio
Grande has been one of the most
remarkable Of its kind in the history
of the west. Colorado never before ex-
perienced such storms as swept through
the canyons and across the prairieS
this month. The line was first tied up
three weeks ago and since then, not
only the Rio Grande. but every line
into Colorado has suffered more or less
from the same cause. For one day
traffic on the Denver & Rio Grande
was resumed, but the snow came in
double drifts and held the road again
in its grasp. A snowslide in the can
yon of the Grand river, where most of
the trouble laid, killed three men and
injured six others on Feb. 8. The men
were employed on a wrecking train.

MEAN ADVANTAGE.
He Got the Old Mans Consent While
He Was In Comatose State.
Detroit Free Press.)

(DetrOlJ free GreSS.D
Congratulations, old man. said the
young man, as he shook hands with
his friend. It's all settled, and we're
TO be married next week.
How on earth did you manage to ap-
preach her father" exclaimed the
friend, who understood the situation.
Didn't approach him, but he thinks
l did, which amounts to the same thing
You see, when the girl and I came to
an understanding, her father remained
to be conciliated, and there was the
rub.
THE last time 1 had the pleasure of
meeting her father was one evening at
her home, where he served notice on
me that if he ever caught me there
again he would throw me out.
That didn't scare me very much, for
I knew that if it ever came to a show
down 1 was better man than he. But
realized that would ruin my chances
by laying violent hands on her father,
so l swallowed my wrath and managed
20 call at her house when her father
was at the club.
1T was that club that gave me an
idea. [ belong to the same club, and [
have had a good many chances of see
ing the condition that her father al
ways went home in.
well, one day l told the girl that 1
it was all right: that he had given his
consent and said that we could be mar
ried as soon as we liked that we had
made W our quarrel, and when I es-
corted him to his hack on going home
he had his arm around my neck.
Il knew the girl would approach her
father and inquire about the matter,
telling what / had said 1t worked
just as 1 expected il would. He hadn't
the slightest recollection of what he
might have said that night. so there
was nothing for him to do but to con-
firm what l had said and make the best
of the situation.
But I made one horrible blunder. I
should have added that he gave us a
cordial invitation to make our home
with him as long as we liked But he
hasn't reformed his ways, and l may
put that in some day as an after
thought

thing is right for US to do or not must
be determined in the light of the New
Testament Scriptures. s. 1t is not a QueS-
ton of what Moses says but what does
Christ say. On the mount of transfig-
uration, when Moses, the law giver, and
Elijah, the prophet, were present, God
said of Christ: This is my Son; hear
We him. This settles the question to
Whom we must so for authority The
marriage of Adam and Eve is valuable
as a precedent only because he used
It as such. Nothing is binding upon us
simply by virtue of the fact that it was
part of the old dispensation. for we
live under the new. The fact that God
permitted polygamy affects US just eX-
actly as does the fact that Moses law
permitted divorce. Is ANYBODY foolish
enough to try to procure a divorce on
the ground that Moses suffered it?
Then why quote the example of the
patriarchs in justification of polygamy ?
What is the attitude of the New Tess-
lament towards polygamy? The Apostle
Paul states it in his sermon on Mars
HILL thus: 1.-The times of ignorance
therefore, God overlooked; but now he
commandeth men that they should all
everywhere repent. Acts xvii, so. Many
things that were Inherently wrong God
in the past overlooked on account of
the extenuating ignorance of the peo-
pie, but now the world has advanced to
a point where Ignorance itself is sin.
In giving instructions concerning the
qualifications of bishops, the same apes
tie says: THE bishop, therefore, must
be without reproach, the husband of one
WIFE" etc. The will of God with refer
ence to marriage, as set forth by the
greatest exponent OF the religion of
Christ. is briefly summed up in the
words zone or none" Upon the subject
the New Testament is the only author
ity and the final authority The au-
thOrities which anhedate it were an
nulled by it. The old covenant was
rendered void by the enactment of the
new. See Hebrews, eighth chapter. The
following, language Of the Apostle Paul
clearly indicates that the apostolic age
marked the end of supernatural mani
festations, including the miraculous
outpouring of the holy spirit, speaking
with tongues, healings, prophecies, rev.
Citations, etc. Whether there be prOph-
ecies, they shall be done away; Whe-
Their there be tongues, they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge it shall be
done away For we know in part and
we prophesy in part; but when that
which is perfect is come, that which is
in part shall be done away" I Cor xiii,
SO. The perfect thing referred to is the
New Testament Scriptures, which con-
tain a full and final revelation of the
principles of the religion of Jesus
Christ. Every scripture inspired of
God is also profitable for teaching. for
reproof, for correction, for instruction
which is in righteousness; that the man
Of God may be complete, furnished COM
pletely unto every good work. II Tim
iii, 1917. The only scriptures inspired
of God that are in force as authority
are the scriptures of the New Tesla
ment. and they are clearly against po-
lygamy.

LINCOLN, THE MAN.

Lincoln, the Man." was the subject
of the address of Mr.. A. J. Ridges, jr.
Lincoln's boyhood and personality were
considered. and his peculiarities graph
icaIly described. He differed from other
heroes in that the opinion formed of
nearly all others was according to the
personal symDathies of the observer.
Such was not the case with Lincoln.
His life appeals to the hearts of all-he
is beloved of all, and cannot De a9tly
compared with other heroes, because
of his distinct personality. The speaker
described the assassination of Lincoln
and the universal sorrow that follow
ed. The speaker closed with Emerson's
eulogy of the martyred president.

Memorial services in honor of Abra-
ham Lincoln were conducted by the
Delta Phi fraternity of the University
of Utah last evening in the First Con-
gregational church. A great many stu
dents and friends attended the SER
vices, and were well repaid by the very
interesting programme carried out.
DR.. J. E. Talmage offered invoca-
ton, in which he paid tribute to the
memory of the dead president. Pro-
fessor Radcliffe rendered the intermez-
20 from "Cavalleria Rusticana," The
Pilgrims Song. of Hope" and Colts
chalk's Last Hope" during the even
ing on the pipe organ, all of which We're
justly appreciated. Mr.. Thomas e. Nc
Kay delivered a brief address of well
come.
Mr.. H Claude Lewis addressed the
gathering on Lincoln as statesman.
The speaker obened with the recital of
an anecdote of Lincoln's life. At a re-
ception given the president in Wash
ington on one occasion, an old man
from Buffalo stood in line for his turn
to grasp the hand Of the president, and
when he did so, exclaimed: Up our
way, we believe in God and Abraham
Lincoln!" The speaker continued, say
ing that now, after forty years, these
reunited states are universal in their
belief in God and Abraham Lincoln. Mr..
Lewis spoke of his greatness and held
Lincoln as the foremost proof that
there is mo copyright on greatness"
The scope of his greatness is just be-
ginning 10 dawn on the people. The
speaker then, in support of his argu-
ment. dwelt on the causes of the war
and the question it was to decide,
namely. whether the federal govern
ment could prevent the secession of any
state from the Union, and not, as gen.
orally supposed, whether slavery could
be abolished. The speaker read eX-
tracts from Lincoln's writings and eli

SMOKING IN EUROPE.
Some Places Where American DevO-
tees OF the weed Have q
Hard Time.

The smoking American has a hard
time Of it on the continent. In several
Of the countries notably, in France,
Spain and Italy-the trade is in the
hands Of the government, or so enOr-
mOusly taxed that it is virtually gov
eminent monopoly. Whatever may be
the benefit Of the national exchequer,
there is certainly none Of the con-
sumer, and If q nationalist or state So
cialist wants arguments to support his
theories let him shun the subject Of
European tobacco.
Pipe-smOl1ers viii find no plug tobac-
co abroad. They can get American
brands Of long cut or fine cut only at
exOrbitant prices. Where the mOnOp-
oily prevails, the common smoking to-
baccO offered for sale viii cure the
habit, if anything viii. Italian cigars
are about the meanest cigars man ever
Perpetrated on a suffering community.
French cigars are not much better.
Havanas can be bought in the Latin
countries at high rates.
The Germanic races come nearer
understanding what is good in the to-
baccO line. Cigars are cheap in
y
dog cheap in HoIland-in fact, Holland
is the paradise Of smokers. Tobacco
is absolutely free Of duty there. If 1
understand right, and partly by rea-
son Of the fact that Sumatra is a
Dutch possession, Holland leads the
world in some branches Of the tobacco
trade. So the discreet smoker viii
bring home from Holland as many
cigars as he can. In Rotterdam or
Amsterdam he may buy for two cents
apiece cigars that IN many American
cigar stores would retail at ten cents
straight; and for five cents he can get
luxury that in America a millionaire
would deem extravaganza.
The cigarette habit prevails in
France, Italy and Spain, so that de-
cent cigarettes can be bought; but
Turkish or Egyptian cigarettes are not
given away. In Germany and, Austria
pipe-smOIing is more common; in
Great Britain II would seem as If most
men smoked a pipe, both indoors and
OUTGOING Abroad.
