FAITH IN THE REPUBLIC,

Now that the smoke Of the battle Of
ballots has cleared away and the time
has come for reflection and renewed ac-
tIvlty the patriotic sentiments uttered
few days ago by Cardinal Gibbons at
high mass can probably be re-read and
contemplated by citizens Of all parties.
He said:
For my part. whatever may be the
result OF the Presidential election
have an abiding faith in the perpetulty
of our Republic / have an unbOunded
confidence IN the good sense and patri-
ot.sm of the American people They
love the Constitution. They cherish our
political and civic institutions They
revere the fathers Of the country, The
ilustrious founders OF the nation,
though they be dead still live by their
writings and example Their light sim
shines upon us. Their voice Is still
heard In the land
by the chart which they have left US,
and by the aid OF divine Providence, the
snip OF state will be safely guided
through all time amid lowering clouds
and troubled seas, between the Scylla
of absolutism and despOusm and the
Charybils of anarchy and socialism.
And, thanks 90 God, from the i9un-
dalton of the Republic, our chief rulers.

DISTRESS IN ALASKA.

Reports from Alaska indicate n conll-
tIon Of affairs. which calls for the exer-
else Of Christian bcneyolence on a large
scale. According 10 what are believed
to- be reliable reports the Indians al
Cooks Inlet, 10 the number OF perhaps
q thousand, are In immediate danger Of
death by starvation and cold.
II IL all due 10 the advent OF the gold
hunters Miners have set the forests
afame from their camp fires. and as a
consequence the fox and other small fur
animals have been destroyed so there Is
practically no hunting. The Indians
have therefore no furs with which to
buy food, or make clothing. Extermln-
alton by hunger and cold stares them
In the face.
These Indians are said to be members
Of the Russian church, but that organ
izatlon does almost nothing to assist
them. They need clothing and -four

Of official corruption IN that far on Ter

now In JAIL asking for clcmency at the
hands Of the United states courts.
That matter will, we presume, be made
the subject OF a thorough inquiry, and
although the promoters are believed to

halls Of Congress. that is no reason why
the corruption should be allowed to ac-

A KNoTTY QUESTION.

The following question has been sub
mltted 10 the Deseret News with a re-
quest for an immediate answer: Sup
pose citizen Is duly and lawfully
registered in American Fork, and there
is no dispute as TO his qualifications Of
residence or citizenship. His reglstra-
ton takes place on October g. After
that date he moves to Lehl where he
takes up his abode. He DOS not and
could not register in the after pre-
clnct. But he returns TO Lem on cleo
ton day and wants TO vote In the pre-
clnct where he was registered ls he
entitled to cast his ballot there?
The registration and election laws
appear 70 be faulty in this and some
other respects, as to change OF resi-
dence from one precinct TO another Il
Is very clear that under the Consttu-
ton and the statutes, a citizen OF the
United States may vote at elections IN
Utah, II he or she is twenty.one years
Of age or more. has been a citizen
ninety days and has resided IN the
State one year In the county four
months and In the precinct sixty days
next preceding the election. Anything
short Of these qualifications Is a bar 10
the right to register and no unregls-
tered person may vote
In the present case the citizen was
duly registered, and the only precinct
m which he could vote would be that
IN which his name appears on the regis
tratlon list But II he has moved from
that precinct 70 another, with the fun
intent Of making the latter his resi-
dence and he actually resides there
and admits that he does his vote may
be challenged, as provided IN Sec. $40,
par, 6, Revised Laws Of Utah Under
that he cannot vote in any precinct
where he does not reside.
Residence IN a precinct or county or
the State, is not lost by temporary alb
sence. Wherever a persons home ls
there is his legal residence. He may
20 abroad or to any place away from
home, but intending 20 return, his legal
residence Is his domlcle. II he moves
from It to make his home elsewhere,
there will be his residence from the
time he makes the change, with the
bona fide intention 10 forsake the for
mer and take UP his abode In the lat
ter.
The citizen IN this case appears TO
have lost his vote at the recent slec-
ton II he had contended that he had
not yet removed permanently from
American Fork, he could have voted
there. But he could not have voted
in Lehi because he was not entitled to
be registered there, Provision Is made
in the law for removals from one vot-
Ing district 10 another in the same pre-
clnct, but not for removals from one
precinct TO another within sixty days
next preceding an election.
There appears to be no remedy for
this apparent Injustice short Of an
amendment to the State Constitution.

that China is not now and has not for
years been an independent nation. In

THE WORLD GROWING BETTER,

An eastern contemporary discusses
the question whether the world is grow
Ing better and takes the Affirmative
side contrary TO the opposite views that
often are expressed.
Some historical facts are referred to
as evidence. The question is asked
whether It Is conceivable that such
retinue as Charles II Of England had,
should ever again receive public recog-
milton OF a British king, or that the
prohgacy Of the house Of Hanover
should ever return.
The relevancy Of this evidence APP
pears rather weak, though The COM
parison should not be made between the
kings and courtiers and historical per-
sonages Of former years. and the pres
ent kings and statesmen. The real
question Is this. whether the morality,
the plety the honesty Of the great
masses Of the people are more pro-
nounced now than formerly. II we
want to ascertain whether the world Is
growing morally better or worse, we
must compare the people Of past times
with those Of the present and not
merely the few individuals who are af-
ter all merely a small part Of the world.
History may not be a perfectly rella-
bic guide In that inquiry for the rea-
son that II Is only IN later times that
the dongs OF the people have been
found worth while recording. Much Of
the history OF the past Is concerned
about the acts Of kings and potentates,
as IL the people were but inanlmate tools
In their hands Are, then the morals Of
the masses Of the nations Of the earth
purer today than they were a hundred
years ago? For instance, what would
be the verdict. We're the records OF the
divorce courts and criminal courts
consulted on that question? OF course.
the standards OF morality may be high
er now than formerly. and that circum-
stance should also be taken into con-
slderatlon.
In one respect the human race GER
talnly seems 10 have progressed very
much. and that Is IN the ever narrow
ing circle OF barbarism. Civilization Is
spreading. There Is less cannibalism IN
the world than there was az the begin
ming of this century The New Zealand
ers no longer make It a rule 20 eat their
brave enemies hearts In order 20 as
simulate their qualities. Canniballsm
among American Indians Is now almost
unheard Of. Even the Wild Fuegians
are believed 10 have given up the hor-
rible practice. In Africa war Is sim
waged for the purpose Of securing
slaves and human flesh, but civilization
is rapidly penetrating the heart Of that
once dark continent, and before Il cam
nibalism VIII recedc and finally become
extinct. There Is one feature % the
progress OK mankind, which can be OBJ
served Enthusiastically. Whether the
general morality Of the world and par
tcularlly the civilized part Of IT, Is i'm
proving IS a different question 4 saw
age tribe may give up the revolving
practice OF eating human flesh, and yet
not attain a higher moral level than Il
had before. Civilization does not always
purify.
