Will MENTION DIVORCE.

Reports from Washington have II
that the President. in his annual mes
sage to Congress, viii touch upon the
subject OF divorce.
This is recognized as one OF the Ills
under which our modern society suffers.
In some Of the larger cities, the dlssolu-
ton Of marriages has become so fire.
auent as to be a matter Of Jest. the
divorce mills all over the country, and
not only in the Dakotas, are kept NOV
ing almost continually. 1t is an evil
that affects all Glasses Of society,
But, what can Congress do about ~
The other generous growth, lynchlng,
has been referred to in a presidential
message, but that did not arrest the
evil Congress could hardly take d.
yorce legislation from the states, with
out an amendment to the Constitution
and It Is not certain that such an
amendment could be passed.
All such evils must be arrested by
means Of strengthening the moral sem
tlment OF the nation. When that sentl-
ment Is what Il ought to be, legislation
would be effective. but without IT, laws
are absolutely useless. Laws are not
remedies against moral evils. They
reveal their existence. but the remedy
itself IS IN the moral powers of the IN
dlvlduals, which must be strengthened
when they are weak, ana made TO re-
sIst the temptations and weaknesses
that ruin, If permitted to hold sway A
great many people think that nothing
more is needed against any evil but the
passing OF a law. II is a great de-
fusion. The fact is that the multiplied"
ton of laws that cannot be maintained,
or that are not kept, rather adds to
the evil than otherwise,
A very sensible view on the condi-
tons that are responsible for many
modern evils was expressed some time
ago by lady correspondent of the Mil
waulSee Wisconsin. and undoubtedly
many are OF similar opinion. She said
In part
~ have long been OF opinion that
much OF the wrong-dolng OF young peo-
pie is traceable to the careless, pleas
ure-loying habits of their mothers.
The truth Is, since young girls have
been earning their living In public
places, many Of them have lost much
IN what used TO be considered dlstlnc-
lively feminine qualities Domestic la
Dor Is dlstasteful to them. and from
this cause alone family life suffers Woes
fully. In the year 1902 three hundred
men in Chicago deserted their wives.
Many Of the women, In applying to
the Associated Charities. confessed that
they knew nothing about cooking or
housekeeping, On hearing this many
good ladies VIII say Establish cooking
schools" But II seems to me that 1t is
conscience schools that are needed.
From excess of chivalric sentiment on
The part OF American men, many wo-
men have come to think that In the
marriage relation the entire burden OF
responsibility rests on the men,"
The breaking of marriage covenants
and all forms of lawlessness. are but
symptoms of consuming disease
Remedies must be aimed at the causes
and not merely at the visible effects.

AN OLD CANARD REVIVED.


The Chicago Record Herald OF oct II
contains an editorial entitled. I'm the
Power Of the Mormons," II Is chiefly
an application of the adage about
"counting chickens before they are
hatched,' to an alleged scheme on the
part OF the Mormons to elect thirteen
Mormons to the United States senate,
and thereby gain control Of federal
legislation" That paper very properly
makes light Of the story but Incorrectly
attributes It to a discovery by former
Congressman W. II. King Of Salt Lake
city. The source OF its information 90
Is the following special dispatch'
salt Lake, Utah Oct. S.-Former
Congressman w. III. King Of this city
has dropped a hint as to the political
designs Of the Mormon leaders. He In
Inmates that the head OF the Mormon
church intends to install In the United
States Senate sufficient number Of
members OF his church TO mold the bal-
ance OF power II will require only
thirteen Mormon senators TO place the
present Senate and IN fact the entire
legislation of the United states govern
ment In the hands OF President Joseph
II. Smith.
II is said that the Mormon leaders de-
pend on Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming,
Idaho and Montana, to which states
they are sending large bodies Of lmml-
grants, to furnish them at least seven
senator's
They expect the admission of Arl-
zona, New Mexico and Oklahoma to
give them four more and by electing n
Mormon TO succeed Senator kearns
they will get the twelfth man, Senator
Smoot, completing the thirteen"
We are not sure that we know the
author Of the stun incorporated in that
dispatch, but could give very good
guess. No matter about that; the whole
special" Ii but an echo Of the absurd
imaginlngs Of fanatical anti-"Mormon'
preachers and societies, except the
statement that Former Congressman
w. II. King dropped a hint" or 'intl-
mated that "the head Of the Mormon
Church intends thus and so, which is
deliberate lie. The head OF the Nor
mon Church has no such ridiculous In
tention, and former Congressman King
never dropped any such false and fool
ish hint" On the contrary, when ask
ed the question whether he knew of
any such scheme as that mouthed by
the sectarlan preachers and their fe-
male echoes throughout the country,
he replied that he never heard OF such
a scheme from anybody but Some anti
Mormon"
There is more nonsense sent over the
wires and published in eastern journals
from this city, on alleged Mormon"
doings and purposes, than on any 9th
or topic Of popular interest, The Chi.
cago Record Herald was all right In
treating, this canard in Jocular man
ner, but might have been shrcwd
enough to perceive that the entire dis
patch is one OF those sensational anti
Mormon fabricatIons. which special
correspondents fall back upon when
they have nothing true at hand, where
with to startle the public and keep up
their reputation for furnishing attrac-
tive stories. Certainly the special dis
patch fiend has put in his bogus work
this time.
