The strike leaders object TO the pres
ence Of State troops in the anthracite
coal regions. While the military re-
fram from taking either side, there
should be no serious objection, for ex'
perlencs has shown that where there
are extensive strikes the public peace
Is IN danger every moment unless
troops are al hand. Angry men cannot
be depended on TO give deliberate public
notice when they win resort to violence

cannot succeed IN the very sphere In
which alone they look Tor success, by

There are no people on this continent
today who are more DESTROYS Of edu-
catlonal progress than the citizens Of
this State. The "Mormons" are unit
Ing with persons not Of their faith In
the work OF secular educational Inn
proyement. The number OF teachers
who are nom "Mormons' Is evidence Of
this. The action Of the people Of Elsi-
more IS not a protest In favor OF Nor
mon" influence IN the district schools,
nor against the employment Of nom
Mormon teachers who are truthful
and capable, but It Is a public express
sion Of dlsapproval Of malignant Sec
tartan defamation OF the IAtter-day
Saints by protesting Christians and a
sign that such methods win not be con-
doned, by the employment Of their au-
thors 10 instruct the children OF the
fathers and mothers who have been
held up as goddess heathens
These UNCONVENTIONAL schools, con-
Quoted by men or women who make It
their business to bear false witness
against their neighbors, are not suitable
training places for the children OF the
Latter-day Saints Let those who be-
long 10 the sects that establish them
support them II they please They ought
not to be hindered or molested In any
way But It would be far better for
Latter-day Saints to send their young
children 70 the district schools. from
which religious teaching Is excluded,
than to place them under the influence
OF persons who are not only hostile to
their faith. but who persistently mis-
represent Il and Join in endeayors 10
iniure them.
II religious training Is desired in ad-
ditIon to that given in religion classes,
and IN the Sunday schools and primary
associations. let It be had in the acade-
mics and Beminarles and colleges Of our
own Church. and not in the hot-beds Of
anti Mormon" error and fanatlclsm.
Observe, we do not wish to see any
measures Of retaliation or vndictIye-
ness toward the individuals who in
dulged In the defamation OF our Church
and people at the NJ. h, conference.
Treat them with Christian forbearance
and charity.
But, on the other hand, they should
not be encouraged in their evil work,
and certainly a man or woman who
utters or endorses such vile accusations
against the "Mormons' as those pro-
mulged on the occasion referred TO,
must be deemed by sensible and con-
sistent Latter-day Saints, as totally
unfit to have the care and training OF
their children. This is only common
sense. The opposite course, pursued by
some thoughtless persons. Is the very

The School Entertainment.

A large crowd was present last Friday
evening to be entertained by the
scholars OF the WiIliston schools, and
medically to help and encourage them
in their efforts toward securing a much
needed addition to the school library.
The entertainment was we'll given and
was received with much favor by the
people in attendance. Tho frst part OF
the program was probably the most
popular, and many Of the members
meritsd the hearty applause they
received.

very large amount Of work that had
been put upon it, and much praise is
due tho teachers who assisted in making
the adair so successful, Hiawatha was
in itself enough for single evenings
entertainment, and would have been
better appreciated had the movement
In it been moro rapid. Tho readings
from LonRfellow's fascinating poem were
very oreditably rendered by nearly al
Of the readers. and in the staging. there
was much that was very good, but had
there been moro action the interest
would have been more intense.

especially noticeable in position and
technique. He executed the very
difficult selection he rendered In very
clever manner. and the people would
havs been pleased had he responded to
their hearty encore. The Chorus,
Landing Of the Pilgrim Fathers"
showed careful training of the pupils
and many good voices were noticed.
The dialogue "For and Against
rimony, by Nellie Presby and Coulson
Barnfather, was given in a manner that
would have done credit to much older
people. The Operetta, Mother Goose -
brought back to memory many pleasing
childhood rhymes. while the costumes
and acting Of the little people were very
praise worthy. The recitation by Grace
Brown was very good, as was also the
Hunters Song given by the advanced
pupils. The song and ruler drill by the
twelve first primary pupils, ak dressed
in white, was. good, andthe Oddly Of tn Y
efforts Of the little children In their drill
caused much merriment. Harry Wood

ceived. Mrs. I. C. Stewart also playe ID
