IRRIGATORS, ATTEND!

The interest aroused over the prob
ability OF something practical and
definite In relation to the Utah lake
project, is very gratifying. Particu-
larly pleasing Is the fact that the OPP
position manifested some time ago In
this county is disappearing, and that
all the canal companies appear to be
united in desire to bring the matter
TO a successful contamination,
The parties who did not at one time
see their way clear TO a full co-opera-
ton with others, In the measures
adopted and those proposed, for the IN
crease and perpetuity of the water sup
ply, seem now TO be in harmony on
these points, and to be ready to take an
active part If not front place IN the
movement toward the end IN view,
The meeting to b. held on Wednes-
day In the East Jordan Westinghouse,
at 10 a. m, Is likely to be numer-
ously attended. 1t will be a very i'm
portant gathering. Messrs Newell,
Plnchot, Ross, Savage and swendson,
representing the government as experts,
will be present, or most OF them at any
rate, and many OF our leading citizens
interested IN irrigation. Engineer Do
remus, Col. Il. r. Holmes, President
Angus NJ, Cannon, representatives OF
the different canal companies and Of
the City Council will also be in attend
ance, and the subject Of the Utah lake
proposition will doubtless be thorough
ly ventilated.
The gravity OF the subject calls for
serious consultation and unity of ao-
ton, and II is to be hoped that ar
rangements will be made for the proper
application 10 the government, which
will secure the aid necessary to be OBJ
tanned. All citizens who can attend
should make 1t a point to be there.

themselves but for their converts as
well. These charges Mr.. Ashmore ig-
nored and pointed out instead that the
residents Of China. both European and
American, were much to blame on ac-
count Of their unprincipled conduct,
which is offensive TO the Chinese.
This Is really ap admission worth
while noticing. For II the Chinese take

are outside that class, themselves.
Why. then. do not the missionaries con.

missionaries are less concerned about

those Of other nationaltles, must con-

The future OF Japan Is at stake and
upon yapan's future depends largely the
ultimate fate OF China. Victory for the
island empire would increase Its po-
tency and prestige not alone In Corea
but among all the oriental peoples. Its
dream OF acquiring dominant nnu-
ence over all the yellow races Far into
the interior, even into Tibet and the
very frontier OF India, would be nearer
realization than thus far has seemed
possible, Victory for Russia means not
only the virtual political extinction Of
Japan on the continent Of Asia but the
ascendency Of the Slav throughout the
far east. British prestige throughout
the world would sink. as Russia's au-
thorlty rose. with this portentous rise
OF the Muscovlte and the consequent
rush Of all the powers 10 protect their
spheres of influence and grab such 9TH
err lands as they could take China would
be fortunate to escape complete dis
memberment.

Coming down 10 smaller and immedi-

Rev. Russell II, Conwell, In the Bap-
list Temple, Philadelphia, as published
IN the Temple Review We are pleased

say that Mr.. Sm0ot Is q Mormon ana
consequently should not have scat IN

he were Presbyterian, and we did not

have a right to say that he should not

that he were Mohammedan where

punish him for his opinion.
or suppose Senator Smoot were a
Shaker? The Shakers do not believe
In marrying al all. II we all believed
as they believe there would be no ma
ton. ana the generation would cease
with us because they do not believe
IN marrying and bearing children.
Does any one mean to say that they
have no right to q seat In the legisla-

often been, simply because they do
not believe In marrying? Separation

religious belief shall not deprive him
Of right to hold political positions in
our country so long as man does
nothing inconsistent with our laws.
The Bap,ists, who believe In universal
liberation In matters OF religious opin-
ion must now stand true 10 their prin-
clples, and while we dislike Mormon
ism, while we hate its teachings, yet
we believe that the political arm OF the
State has no right 10 interfere and say
that a Mormon, because he Is merely
a Mormon in opinion has no right 10
hold a seat In the United States Sem

THE time was when they would not

was persecution. What a man believes
