VII help to cement in closer union the
various parts Of the empire. The South
African struggle has taught Britons
that the mother country" is very mnch
dependent on the colonies. and the
nocessity OF greater solidarity The
contemplated change is a bid for con-
tlnued loyalty Of colonials 70 the in
terests of the governing country
It Is pertinent question, though,
whether the mere change Of title will
have any great influence In this direc-
ton The loyalty OF Canadians and
Australians WAS sufficiently demon
strated In the trouble with the
Beers, when volunteers enlisted
10 great numbers, 10 fight for the coun-
Try. The tendency In the colonies Is not
toward imperialism with high sound
lax titles and other paraphernalia, but
toward republlcanism Great Britain,
though a monarchy, or an empire, Is
virtually a republic. The union Of all
her various parts ON an equal footing,
with parliament. or congress, in
which all had equal representation,
would give more real strength TO the
entire dominion. than the mere refer
ehce to the colonies In the title Of the
sovereign. TO the English aristocracy
It may appear desirable that Great
Britain be ruled by an emperor since
the rulers OF Russia. Germany and Aus
tria prefer to 80 by that title. With
some people II Is always serious mat
ter to be out OF style. Bu, with the
general public in our advanced times,
the title OF president suggests more real
power ana more true glory than does
that OF emperor. One represents the
power Of the people, the other, alb
solGiism, and that does not work web
IN civilization.

THE VISIT OF GEN. GOMEZ.
New York Mail and Express.


The tact which Gen. Gomez shows
tends 10 create a regret that he has
practically declined IN advance a nom
nation for the Cuban presidency
Though he says nothing on this sub
Jet, the anticipation that he practlc-
ally brought the gift of the presidency
TO Senior Tomas Estrada Palma seems
to have been justified. II Gen. Gomez
does not want the honor himself. there
can be no doubt that Senior Estrada
Palma Is by far the most available can
didate for It. There has not been the
smallest hint OF any American inter-
yention or advice-glving In the matter.
but most Americans will be glad II the
Cuban leaders choice falls on Senior Es-
trada Palma. who understands the
United States and the position Of the
American government with regard to
Cuba thoroughly well.

The Beers have an unsatisfactory
way of bobblng up where they are not
expected Quite recently Sir Bindon
Blood reported that the Beers had been
cleared away from the vicinity Of Ley
denburg one OF the principal towns in
the northeast Of the Transvaal. just TO
the north OF the Pretoria Delagoa Bay
railroad. but no sooner had he left that
town to continue his securing farther
to the south than the Beers were re-
ported as being back in force. The
English papers that have warmly SUP
ported the war policy have from time
TO time called on the people 10 have
patience, as matters were progressing
satisfactorily in the Transvaal. This is
doubtless good advice. but there never
was a time during the whole war when
there was more need Of having patience
than at present.

This recalls the history Of the early
Saints who, in the days Of the Apostles
took a similar course TO that pursued
by Miss Dickinson. But II Is strange

fess TO be the followers OF Christ and

The bitterest and most yenomous

The success attending the labora Of
the Elders Of this Church in face Of the
obstacles that are raised against their
efforts is to be accounted for chiefly by
one salient fact: They promise TO al
people WHO sincerely believe In Jesus
Christ, repent truly OF their sins, and
are baptized by immersion in water at
the hdads OF one holding divine au-
thoritM to administer the ordinance,
that they shall receive the gift OF The
Holy Ghost, which shall give them

THE SPREAD OF THE TRUTH

The New York papers are stu COM
menting on the acceptance Of the Cos
pei as taught by the Church Of Jesus
Christ OF Latter.day Saints. 10y some
people who have been prominent in
other church circles. The baptism Of
Miss Elizabeth Dickinson on lndepend-
ence day, IA suitable date has been the
occasion for the renewed Interest ex-
hibited by the press on this subject
From private sources we have informa-
tion that there have been many exag-
geraiions In the accounts given Of the
ceremony, but In the main the reports
have been unusually fair
One account states that the baptism
took place at a spot where permission
had not been obtained for the use OF
the adjacent house and grounds. That
Is an error. because Ii was solemnized
al place commonly used for the pur-
pose. and the owner Il always compen-
stated according TO a regular arrange
ment Notwithstanding the few inec-
curacles and the evident strainlng for
dramatic and sensational effect which
IS common to New York journalism,
there Is an absence OF that animus and
malice which 50 often are prominent IN
the press comments on anything that
relates to "Mormonism,"
The New York World gives a fair ac-
count Of the ceremony, and states that
Miss Dickinson was attended to the
waters edge by her mother. who was
interviewed by World reporter and is
alleged to have made the annexed
statement
MY daughter has sacrificed every
thing for her religion. No one VIII ever
know the sacrifices she has made For
instance. her friends have deserted her.
her pastor has told her she was quite
without any Christian faith; her church
friends have deserted her her business
chances are not only jeopardlzed but
ruined. Nevertheless, IN spite " all
these things. my daughter Is perfectly
happy. she feels that Ia becoming q

We often hear Of sacrifices which
people make on account OF embracing
the religion called "Mormonism tn,

some folks have to give up things
which are commonly valued as Of great
