any polygamy practiced. The gentiles
claim to have abundant proof. But
the Mormons hold such a tremendous
power in the state politics of Utah that
many politicians. who may personally
oppose the alleged practice of the Nor
mons. warp their conscience so as TO
permit trucking to the powerful
church element for the purpose OF in
fluencing politics. 1t is another case

as laws, will have no effect. An en-
lightened public sentiment will effect
what Judges and legislatures can new
er bring about
In Utah there is freedom of speech
and worship as there is in every other
state. The people are presumably in
telligent and able to take care of them
selves. Why they should bring their
internal troubles into the domain OF
national affairs, or why the people OF
Maine should concern themselves with
polygamy in Utah when they have
troubles enough of their own at home
with their prohibition law. is more
than the average mortal can under
stand. Congress may go on blackball-
ing polygamous congressman: it has
the right But Utah will settle the
question without assistance if let alone.
The key to the situation is this: the
young Mormons are seldom polyga-
mists. and the gentle immigration to
Utah exceeds the Mormon.

Carnegie made to the city of New York
just before he sailed for Scotland was
designed to meet the cost of the cree
ton of sixty-five branches of the New
York public library. at $4,000 each.
The gift is on condition that the city
provide sites and maintenance. In the
letter conveying the gift. Carnegie says.
II should esteem it a rare privilege to
be permitted to furnish the money
The system will require five years to
put in operation. and the cost of main
tenance will be about $500. 900 a year.
The figures are so stupendous as to
stagger the average newspaper reader,
and even the editors appear to be
daZed by the enormity of the gifts of
this man Carnegie. They had said all
that could be said when the $25 900 and
$50 900 gifts were coming along, but
when the gifts went up to $4,000. 900.
and then at a bound up to $25, ZOO, 900,
the supply of adjectives in the English
language became inadequate. and the
newspapers have confined themselves
to display headings, such as Another
Five Million, - 1925 ,OOO, 900 This Time, "
Carnegie Pounds Great Technical
School, and so on. The truth is that
the world has never witnessed such a
marvel of munificence, and does not
know just how to take it. And there
are not wanting the croakers, who say
that the people of the cities, in making
themselves to pay ten per cent of the
amount of the gift each year as a main
tenance fund, are paying a pretty big
interest, and by issuing bonds the prin-
cipal and all could be conveniently met
without a great increase in taxes, and
without being under obligations to any
body. The fact remains that the ma
jority of cities would not take this step,
and it is only Carnegie's offer to build
suitable library buildings that has in
most cases inspired sufficient interest
in the project to carry it through as a
public enterprise. After all is said, and
the usual aspersions cast on the rich
man that can as well afford to give
away millions as the average man can
tens or hundreds, still the fact remains
that in all the history of the world no
other man has carried to such a degree
the idea of giving away his money in
life, and no other man has given or be-
queathed such enormous amounts.

While this rot was going on at home
some deeply interested person in Salem

10 our cut in price Of lead and requesting
an investigation with a view to either

 robbers would succeed in getting away the cashier, Ryan. leaped forward in
 an attempt to knock up the revolver
 of the man with the money. In the scuffle several shots were fired. and
 Ryan fell to the floor, shot through the
 groin by a bullet from the pistol of
 Rowe. Mir Fortenbaugh grabbed
 Rowe and after q short scuff1e threw him to the floor. Keiper ran out of the door The noise of the shots at tracted T. r. Ivter. who has store near the bank building.
