TWO VIEWS.

One feature OF the magazine litera-
ture that Processes TO deal with the So
called '9lormon" question Is this that
one part Of II contradicts another part,
although both claim to be founded on
personal observations Of facts.
A writer In the outlook, for instance,
emphatically declares that "polygamy
is dead and that President woodrnf's
Manifest in 1890 gave It Its death
blow" Another writer. for the Allan
tic Monthly takes the opposite view and
aflrns that "polygamy viii die when
we kill i, and not sooner"
In Utsh Il Is wei known where the
misinformation given publicity by the
Atlantic Monthly comes from. But the
general public cannot be supposed TO
know thu the writer distributes SANDER
and falsehood FOR fact. All do know,
however. that Of two contradictory
proposition both cannot be true; also
that there Is every reason to believe
that the Manifesto had the effect Of
changing the practice OF the people as
10 their marriage relations. The revcr-
ence Of the "Mormons" for their lead
ers: THEFT belief In Inspiration; the fact
that the old fight was abandoned by the
enemies ~ the Church; everything
speaks for the view expressed In the
outlook. that the Manifesto gave It It's
death blow" Why should the Amer.
can people, on the assertion Of enemies.

THE SALOONS FIRST.


The war with Spain was undertaken
and carried 10 a successful conclusion
Tor the purpose Of bringing liberty TO an
oppressed race. and with It higher
civilization than that enjoyed by the
colonial subjects Of the European coun-
try. But from numerous reports II APP
pears that the saloon element has been
ahead Of the banner bearers Of civill-
zation. at least In the Philippines. The
drink traffic Is more hourishing than
education.
Recently Capt. Frank NJ. Wells, chap
lain OF the First regiment Of Tennessee
Volunteers gave a public lecture
on the drink traffic in the
Philippines. According to him. before
the advent Of the Americans, there
were but three saloons in Manila, and
IN each only soft drinks" were sold.
There are now 400 saloons. while in the
archipelago there are 800 liquor dealers,
representing firms in America. Mr..
Wells asserts that the liquor rate Of
transportation from Kentucky to the
Philippine archipelago is less than the
rate from Kentucky TO California" and
that Is how the railroads and philan-
thropic steamship companies become
responsible for the Introduction Of drink
TO the people. But the chaplain is quot
ed as follows;
"Whlle on board one OF the transports

the same as on other transports. ] tried

sheridan the last three days we were
in Cebu. There one could see, on every
street corner. native women with bot
Ties Of liquor In baskets and cup.
These women would retail the liquor TO
our soldiers al Is cents a drink.
The facts as thus related should call
for some loud protest from the Ameri-
can people and demand that some
thing be done to right the wrong COM
mitied by introducing intoxlcatlon
among the Filipinos. There has been
great hue and cry in behalf Of the
American home, What about the FilipI-
no home? Is there anything more seri-

EMANCIPATION QUESTION.

A great deal Of comment has been
caused by the views recently expressed
by Cardinal Gibbons on the advanced
woman. What he said was this;
u regard womaus rights women and
society leaders IN the higher walks OF
life as the worst enemies Of the female
sex They rob woman OF al that IS
amiable and gentle, tender and attrac-
tive: they rob her Of her innate grace,
OF character and give har nothing IN re-
turn but masculine boldness aud brazen
effrontery.
Under the Influence Of such teachers.
we find woman, especially I'm higher
circles, neglecting the household du-
ties, gaddine about never at peace IN
less she Is In perpetual motion, never
at ease unless she is in a state Of NOR
bid excitement. She never feels al home
except when she Is abroad When she
is at home the home Is irksome TO her.
She chafes and frets under the restraint
and responsibility OF domestic life. Her
heart is abroad"
This IS severe rebuke, especially
from one who can speak with authority
In behalf OF one OF the most powerful
and influential religious organizations
on earth. It is presumed that he stated
the attitude Of the Roman church to-
ward the movement for the so-called
emancipation Of woman. No wonder
that the prelate has been made the OBJ
iect Of criticism by the friends Of that
movement.
1t is just TO state, though, that great
many American women feel that the
prelate has but interpreted their own
sentiments. They believe that those
women who devote themselves TO their
homes. husbands and children, rather
than 10 whist parties teas and clubs.
are the ones who exercise the greatest
influence for good In the human family
But for them, the divorce courts would
be stil more literally patronlzed than
they are. and the Shiny currents Of sin
and shame would run swifter and cause
more ruin.

A SUBSCRIBER in one Of the southern
towns OF this state, asks the DeseFet
News this questions
"Are our school trustees, or teachers,
responsible for damage done 10 properly
By school children while under thei'
Jurisdiction each day?'
There have been some decisions by the
courts in different States bearing on TINS
question. We understand from them
that the school trustees OF the yarl-
Gus country school districts, and the
boards Of education In the cities where
they are organized, are held responsible
for damages by school children during
school hours and in recess. One deels-
ion, rendered In ST. Louis, made the
board Of education responsible
for conduct Of school children dur
Ing the time from dismissal tn reach
ing home This. however appears TO
be great stretch OF responsibility and
something unreasonable.
The theory is that when children are
placed in school they are under the
care and direction OF the principal, who
is responsible to the board of eduea-
ton or school trustees, and the board is
responsible TO the public. During re-
cess, the pupils are stlll in charge OF
the school authorities. who are held re-
spondble for damages that those pupils
nay infiict upon person or property
The disposition to destroy is very
marked In number OF the youth OF all
communities. The children OF this
State are no exception TO the rule. There
should be more attention than is com.
monty given 20 this matter. Our young
folks should be taught that there is no
real fun in the destruction Of anything
OF value, particularly when Il belongs
to Others. The spirit Of mischief may
be tolerated when Il does not 20 to the
length Of infringement upon personal
end property rights and liberties.
Laws, for the protection Of these
rights, should be enforced upon all who
are old enough to clearly distinguish be-
tween right and wrong. between obedi-
ence and disobedlence. between self re.
straint and reckless rebellion But bet.
ter than that would be the continuous
impression upon the minds OF the young
Of the respect due to the feelings, wishes
and rights Of others. This Is a proper
subject for the school room as well as
the family circle. and It needs much
more stiention than II usually receives
both from parents and teachers.
Recreation and a proper amount Of
liberty are necessary to the develop
ment and happiness Of youth, but obedi.
enoe to law and regard for the feelings
and rights Of others should be strongly
inculeaied' and when necessary en-.
forced. Breaking windows. carrying
away gates and bridges, laying snares
and traps for the purpose Of bringing
personal injury upon individuals. and
similar diversions, ought to he sup.

bic for the consequences OF lawlessness
which result in injury to person or
