"oUT WITH THE FACTS"

The anti mormon" morning paper
In this city still harps on the single
string OF party treachery" on the part
OF four city councilmen, and continues
its dlscord about church influence"
and the church organ but does not
attempt TO meet the facts set forth by
the Deseret News, nor respond to the
challenge to show wherein the measures
supported by the four Republicans, held
up for abuse, were contrary to the prin-
ciples or policy OF their party. Show
us when, where and how the Repub-
lican party In this city has declared
that a certain Objectionable person
must be appointed TO an important Of
fee; that practical measures for i'm.
mediately Increasing the water supply
must not be adopted; and that every
scheme favored by one official, however
unwise and inexpedient, must be sup.
ported By every other official of the
same party. These points must be es-
tablished or the party treachery cry
must be abandoned
Further, 1t has been demonstrated that
Instead Of four Republicans making
coalition with the four Democrats, the
most important steps taken In the coun.
ell We're made by at least six Repub-
leans, sometimes more, and the four
Democrats came TO their aid, Every
passage of resolution or ordinance
over the Mayors veto required at least
ten votes, The record shows who east
them, 1t proves further that there
have been more unanimous votes cast
than The so-called eight to seven"
and that the alleged solid eight" was
frequently composed Of other members
than those held up for abuse; also that
the assertion Of the News Is absolute
Is correct, that In only two or three
instances was the deciding vote cast
In the manner alleged by our accusing
contemporary. Voting upon dilutory
motions and flibustering tactics does
not count except az part OF the one final
action, and the hz2ling attempts to
make them figure otherwise simply pro-
yoke contempt
When our quibblng contemporary
meets squarely the question we have
presented, it will be time for us to re.
spond TO its invitation to the News" to
come out with the proofs we have, that
the politicians who cry church in
iluence' would be "thc very first to
endeayor to obtain It, If they thought
there was any chance to work it for
themselves and their candidates"
Meanwhile, 1t Will be labor IN vain for
the antl-"Mormon' feline to employ its
little monkey to rake among dying
ashes and pull out mouldy chestnuts
ana empty shells.

ODD oHURCn CONTRIBUTIONS.

A unique method Of raising funds for
church purposes has been resorted to
by the Ladies Aid Society Of certain
church at Komoko, Ind. The members
have decided to do a days work each in
canning factory, and donate the wag
es. They expect TO earn from 60 cents
TO 81 each, pecling tomatoes. and If they
are hundred members their contri-
buttons viii count. The money thus
raised Is 90 be devoted to the enlarge
ment of the church building and the
construction Of parsonage.
The idea Is one that does all honor 10
the ladies who thought OF IT, and were
willing to carry It out. II shows COM
mendable zeal, and enterprise. II Is one
Of many unique methods Of the present
time to support church work, and II is
no more singular than others, church
fairs, rafnes, rummage sales, etc. But
why are all these strange expedlents
necessary? There are more wealthy
church members than ever; why should
the poor among them be reduced 10 the
necessity Of resorting to all kinds Of
strange schemes, to support the work?
We believe a reaction is sure TO come
against the grabbing the contribution
box the so-called social" and such
strange adjuncts TO the preaching Of
tho gospel Of salvation; and that Scrip
tural methods will be again IN favor. If
all interested in church work would pay
an honest tithlng, there would be
enough for all ecclesiastical purposes
without resort TO catch penny schemes
No more admirable law than the tithlng-
law was ever framed 1t is eminently
just and equitable, and It is efficient for
the purpose for which IL was given.
There may be too many churches IN
some places, and the ministers may be
mediocrities; or. the rich church mem
bers may not contribute their share.
Something is wrong. when few de.
voted women must hire out, to carry on
the Lords work, The Observance Of
the tithng law would remedy that. 1t
would drive a number Of hypocrites and
Judases out of the churches. IT would
strengthen the faith Of those who re-
manned, and it would give ample means
for the work at home and abroad.
1t Is coming, Tltblng will be preached
to the sectarian churches. The Lat
ter-day Saints have shown them how
that law operates, The teaching has
not been lost upon the world, though 1t
admits this only reluctantly, But that
law embodies the truth, and the truth
must prevail,

REMOVAL CERTIFICATES.

1t Is required OF all members Of the
Church OF Jesus Christ OF atter-day
Saints, when removing from one ward
or branch of the Church to another to
take with them a certificate OF remoy-
AL so that they may Join the ward or
branch wherein they are TO reside,
whether the term Of their residence Is
to be long or short The necessity for
this and the benefit Of the arrangement,
need not be here discussed It must
be obvious TO all who think about II.
However II Is very much neglected
and is a subject OF continual comment
and regret It is an evil that can be
and ought to be remedied
The form of these certificates Is what
we wish to call attention to. a COM
mttee OF the Twelve Apostles has been
working to effect uniformity and accu-
raoy In the keeping OF records, and also
in the forms to be used for the certif-
Gates and other recommends that are
required. 1t has been decided that the
words in full fellowship" or in good
standing" need not be inserted in cer-'
tficates Of removal
Members OF the Church whose names
are upon any ward or branch record,
and against whom there is no definite
charge requiring trial, whether they
are considered In good standing or not,
are entitled to certificate OF removal
when they are about TO reside In an
other ward or branch. It should be
readily granted to them. To do away
with any inydious appearance, the
words in good standing or In full fell
lowship are directed to be omitted
WIN our brethren please make note OF
this so that there may be no conflict
concerning It?
The same committee some time ago
ordered new forms of certificates OF
removal Of the job department of this
establishment, but gave instructions
that the old form then In print, should
be used until exhausted, because 1t sim
ply left a blank to be filled up or not
us the certifer desired, and he could
use his judgment about leaving the
blank or inserting something therein,
and so there was no real difficulty in
the way
But there are none Of those old forms
now on hand ana have not been for
some time statements to the contrary
Notwithstanding The new form how
ever can be had at the Deseret News
Book Store before the close OF the Con-
ference, and we desire Bishops and
others interested to obtain such num-
bers of them as they may require, and
thus establish that uniformity that Is
desired.

In discussing the possibility of in
PRODUCING the Bible into the public
schools, Mr. Herbert X. Horwill, a con-
tributor TO the Atlantic, seems to con-
cede that one program would be practi-
cable which he states alphabetically in
the following terms; Whatever our
church connections, we believe in GER
tain elementary principles of morality
that 1t is right to be kind to others,
that ii Is wrong to steal and the like.
Let us make these the staple of our
teaching, showing our pupils that the
welfare of society demands the con-
quest Of natural inclinations in these
respects But this, the writer AYERS,
would not satisfy those who ask for the
Bible to have place among the text
books OF our common school system
and therefore he throws the suggestion
entirely out OF consideration. Here Is
where we think he goes astray in his
facts. As FAR as the Interior knows the
mind Of PTotestants, they would be
very fully content If such a system out
lined could be made part of the public
educational curriculum--provided, OF
course, that 1t should comprehend the
one distinctly religious element Of pre-
sentlng the omnsclent God as judge of
the conduct of men.
