STUDY OF "MORMON1SM. "
An Episcopalian Mini ter
Gives His Views on the
Church of Latter Day
Saints"

Saints.
Rev. DR.. Thomas E. Green, a
distinguished Episcopalian min
lister of the State of Iowa, recent
" returned from study of "Mor-
monism" in Salt Lake City and
makes the following observation
in an interview in the Denver
NeuS:
Il regard the Mormon Church
at the present time as the best
equipped religious organization in
existence for the propagation of
religious doctrine. In some re-
spects the Mormon Church is
much superior to the Salvation
Army in this respect.
II see no more danger to the
Republic from the growth of
'MOrmOnism' than is to be feared
from the progress of Christian
Science. - From an orthodox
point Of view, it is not any more
heretical to say that Joe Smith
was inspired than to say that
Mrs Mary G. Eddy is inspired.
'The Mormon Church is a
trust-it is a spiritual and tenn
poral trust. There is no question
about that fact. 1t is growing
and will continue to grow aston
iShingly. | am told that the
church not only is supreme in
Utah, but holds the balance of
power in Idaho and is making
rapid progress in Wyoming and
in southwestern Colorado. AS

"Of one thing the visitor in

Dr.. Green had a long talk wit

advancement of the population in Sec
tons acquired earlier, but which have
not beer given full political recognition

enable the people to advance more rap

In this day of good feeling between
all parts of the United States there

The Statehood Outlook.

Down in Oklahoma the people are
hustling for statehood. There is a state
hood committee, and a meeting has been
called to begin an active campaign.
Oklahoma deserves statehood, and there
is some probability of the boon being
secured by the coming congress. But
this will happen only in connection with
the admission of New Mexico. On his
recent trip to the great event in Chicago
Governor Otero met many members of
the senate, the house of representatives,
prominent cabinet officers and officials
men from many states, All showed an
interest in the affairs and conditions
prevailing in the territory. The gov
ernor's representations concerning the
Justice and wisdom of admitting the
territory to statehood seemed to be APP
proved by all who discussed the matter
with him, and the opinion was general
that there will be little organized oppo-
sition to admission at the next term of
congress. The reputation made by the
people in their ready response to calls
for volunteers for two armies; the i'm
proved condition of the affairs of the
territory; the growth Of interest in
mining; the more liberal feeling that
prevails toward all people and all creeds
as a result of their mingling in the
wars, and the broadened ideas of the
power and mission of the United States

As the President Found M~esterners.

Secretary Wilson, of the department
of agriculture, who travelled with the
president on his western tour, upon re-
turning to Washington said of the
country and people visited:
You may find an anti-expansionist
here and there in the west, but he is
as scarce as a hungry man, and the lat
ter is mighty scarce these days. That
country is the center of population and
power. People live there and do things.
They look northwardly as well as east
wardly. They have money to buy pa
pers and magazines, and to keep up
with the times. They know what is go
ing on.

No Sectional Opposition to War.

The Ell Paso Times has caught the
anti-Aguinaldo sentiment which pre-
walls among the leaders, from Governor
Hogg down, in favor of shooting he'll
out of the Filipinos." Two months age
the Ell Paso paper Endorsed a meeting
there to protest against President Nc
Kinley continuing the war, and e.
his followers were true patriots, who
| were being oppressed by a cruel wal
waged for partisan purposes.
The Times now says of itself that "it
has learned to hate Aguinaldo because
| he masquerades as a patriot for revenue
purposes only. Under Spanish sover-
eighty he has frequently laid down his
sword for a snug sum of money. And
now ONE the news that other Filipi-
no leaders are disreputable."
The news referred to is the statement
of a Catholic priest, Father McKinnon,
the soldier priest" the chaplain of the
1st California regiment, that General
Luna, whom Aguinaldo had assassinat-
ed, murdered his wife and mother-in-
law and fled from Paris; that General
Pillar is a horse-thief and all-round out
cast; that Mabino, the Filipino law
| yer is a villain, and that the only ION
est one of the leaders was an editor,
| who has deserted them. The Ell Paso
| paper took a patriotic course in the Gu
ban war, it's editor raising a company
for service, but the fear that Republic
| present contest prevented the journal
| earlier seeing the truth about the scoun-
drels who are sacrificing their country
men to further their own fortunes.
Whatever Colonel Bryan and north
ern politicians think about the war, the
people of Texas, from Ell Paso to Tex
arkana, have lined up in favor of a
fight to a finish. While the politicians
of the state and newspapers like the
Times waive non of their Democracy,
they appear to consider this con-
test an American war and not a parti-
san affair, and leave to the future the
arrangements of details concerning g
government for a people who are being
led by wife-killers, horse-thieves and
b~ribe-taking assassins.
The country is to be congratulated
that the president has, by ignoring poll
tics and state lines in making army APP
pointments, allayed political prejudices
that might otherwise have arrayed the
south against the government in time of
a The organizations that are guilty
of ~unfavorable opposition to the policy
Of the government are entirely in the
northern states, where the preponder-
ating sentiment against the malcon-
tents is so overwhelming that they
count for little. Had the demagogues
of the northern states been able to in
cite the people of the south as Demo-
Gratis to oppose the Filipino war, be-
cause of sectional prejudice and jeal-
ousy. it would have been a source of
embarrassment and regret. The unity
that prevails all over the United States
is doing much to prove to Europe and
Asia that this country will eve be in
vincible in foreign wars because it holds
a united people. When it dawns upon
the insurgents of Luzon hat whatever
politicians may prophesy, the people of
this country will not permit the wal to
be for nothing, nor to be abandoned,
then the struggle will cease.

The FL Paso police are chasing school
boys who carry revolvers, and refusing

accidents may result to the boys or

man has about as much business with a

Time was, and not so very long ago.
that any sort of a government position
was in demand, but now some of them
go begging. For instance, the Indian
school is without an industrial teacher
because the government is unable to
find a competent man who will accept
the salary allowed for such work. A
teacher in this line is supposed to have
a practical knowledge of mechanics,
and no good mechanic who can teach
the Indians how to do carpenter work

MEASURES OF PRECAUTION.
Report of the League for Preventing Tu
berculosis Received Here.

In accordance with instructions from
the state department, Consul Covert, at
Lyons, France, has sent a translated
report of the league for the prevention
Of tuberculosis The report contains,
beside other matter, these statements:
For every six persons in this country
at least one dies of consumption. OF the
$4,000 deaths that occur every year in
France, over lao, 900 are caused by pull
monary tuberculosis OF phthisis, and
this number, instead of decreasing, is
augmenting every year. Hardly a fam
lily but pays to it a sad tribute. No dis
ease, no scourge, car be compared to
tuberculosis, SO far as the number of
victims is concerned. All epidemics and
contagious diseases combined-typhoid,
varioloid, scarlatina, measles, diphthe-
ria, cholera, etc.-do not cause half as
many deaths.
I'VE would then be acting like mad
men, If, knowing the means to diminish
the ravages of this most terrific of our
enemies, we did not. as physicians,
ltFdke tlell HOWL 10 the puDlC, ana IL,
knowing that tuberculosis can be trans
mitted from man to mar and from an
imals to man, we knew means by
which transmission might be prevented
or limited, we would grossly be culpable
if we failed to make known such pre-
ventive measures. Science is to-day
possessed of a knowledge of the means
Of diminishing the ravages of tubercu-
losis."
The report then goes on to describe
the process by which consumption is al
lowed to spread, outlines methods of
treatment in sanitariums, and pre-
scribes means of preventing infection.
1t concludes with this remark:
This disease is durable where it has
not advanced too far, for those who are
willing to submit to long months and
sometimes years of treatment and re-
pose in special sanitariums."

LIFE INSURANCE AND SUICIDE.
New York Wnrld.l

The decision of the United States
coutr of appeals that suicide does not
invalidate a life insurance policy unless
it can be proved that the insurer con-
templated suicide at the time of taking
out the policy is sound sense as we'll as
sound law. The lower courts have often
held hat the suicide clause is void be-
cause suicide is presumably an insane
act, and no man can by any contract
make himself responsible for acts that
he may commit when insane.

The Rio Grande is about to wash
away the government buildings at Fort
Brown, Tex, again. But at Ell Paso
navigation from MeXico's shores to the

catfish. This high water periodically

that the stream is not dependent upon
New Mexico for flow or volume.
