subject to n constant discipline that
keeps them at all times in sympathy
with the ambitions Of the leaders.
There are 1900 Mormon missionaries
now in the foreign work of the church,
the brightest of its young men, the fut-
ure leaders in all matters. They are
compelled to sacrifice everything and
to labor for two or three years faI
from home in the interests of their re
ligion. None who goes through TINS
experience ever forgets the power of
the priesthood, and each understands
spirit of independence, he may be
called again to make the sacrifice. No
young man in the church may be mar
ried in one of the temples unless he is
faithful and obedient to his superiors.
and no young woman would consider
herself married in the sight of God un-
less she was sealed by the proper
authorities. In business, in politics, in
social life, everywhere. the young man
meets the church. and he must be of
iron if he dares TO stand out against it.
Many have done so in the past, but they
have been the exceptions. Their num-
bers have never been sufficient to off
set the church itself"
Perhaps, after all, it was fortunate
thing that Utah did try, and is still
trying, to force Brigham II. Roberts,
an avowed polygamist with three
wives, into Congress. for it opened the
eyes of the American people, and we
can now strange an evil that decade
hence might have been strong enough
to cause much more trouble. '-

AMERICAN SCIENTISTS
TO VISIT ALASKA
Edward II. Hartman Plans an
Expedition.
Several Men of Note Invited to Ac
company Him.
Officials From the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. Hunters and Mining Ex-
perts Accept His Invitation.

New York, April 23.-Mr Edward H.
Hartman. of p East Fifty-hrst Street. has
chartered steamship. on which he will
leave Seattle about May 20 with party
OF noted American scientists. who will be
his guests during what promises TO be a
most notable voyage of scientific discovery
in Alaska. The arrangements have been
made very quietly, but the scope OF the
plan is so great that many of the details
have become known.
Alaska has long tempted Mr.. Hartman,
and as il has become more than ever inter-
esting OF late he has decided TO charter q
steamship, so that he and his family and
the company OF men whom he has invited
might travel in comfort. The trip will
be of national Importance. and several rep
resentstives Of the United States Govern
ment will be among those TO profit by IL.
A special train will carry the Eastern
section of the party from this city to
Seattle, starting on May 20 or 81. and pick
ing up the remaining guests at different
points in its flight westward. 1t is ex-
pecied that the travellers will return early
in August.
The ship will be equipped SO that much
scientific work can be done on board. She
will carry many guides. packers, and bear
ers. so that all sorts OF journeys Of eXplo-a-
tion inland may be made. To a great ex-
tent each member OF the party may work
independently, having an outfit and ser
wants placed at his disposal and having
only TO notify Mr. Hartman Of the nature
Of the experience he desires and name 4
place at which he will reioin the ship.
AS for the route, all that has been de-
cided as yet is that the steamship will
make the inside passage TO Sitka, thence
10 Cooks Inlet and around Kadiak Island.
Even these plans may be modified to meet
the wishes of members of the party or 10
follow up some line of investigation which
may suggest itself later on. Almost every
branch of scientific research will be repre-
sented. and Alaska will be scanned and
sounded from every point of view.
Among the men who have accepted Mr..
Harrimans invitation are c. Hart Mer-
riam, OF the Smithsonian Institution al
Washington. scientific expert of the depart
ment OF zoology, and DIR. William Haley
