The oensuses OF church attendance
which have recently been conducted IN
London and also In New York nave told
the average reader that about one per-
son IN four In these great cities ATTENDS
divine service on Sunday" More cor
rectly stated, this would read that about
one fourth Of the population OF these
cities may be found in church upon. any
one Sunday, indicating that at least
another fourth are regular attendants
too. Suppose visitor from Europe
were to count the children In the puDnc1
schools Of Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, ana
the other states which make up what is
commonly called "The North Central
Dlyison"-he would find upon any
average day trine over 4,OoO,o 900 chill
dren actually In school. But, II ne
were TO ask the teachers how many
pupils there were, he would learn that
the actual enrolment ran up close upon
6,OO0,OOOl Even laws requiring COM
pulsory attendance and employing
thousands Of truant officers for enforce
ment can secure but an average al
tendance OF little more than TWO
thirds of the enrolment. The comments
upon these censuses imply that outside
those found in actual attendance on
that particular day Of counting, nopody
goes 10 church.

II Is fitting TO notice the great change
that has swept over the field OF science
itself during the last quarter century.

that the atom was regarded as the ul-

The man who knows most, perhaps
OF any OF our writer's, about certain
important social problems, has lately
put into print, says Golfers Weekly, a
suggestion often made in private. Mr.,
John Graham Brooks thinks the best
cure for commercial and political dis
honesty Ii social punishment, He
speaks with admiration OF the man
who cut wealthy corruptionist In q
club, and advises the community In
general to follow his example. Instead
Of turning the marble heart upon per-
sons guilty Of irregularities which
form no real menace here and now, let
us, contends Mr., Brooks, refuse to
know the wealthy potentate who buys
legislatures or waters stock. Would
that, as society In constituted, be prac-
teal?

THE MUNICIPAL MIDDLE.

The municipal situation Is a queer
muddle. No wonder that our morning
contemporary, which not long since
contended, day after day, that tho
Mayor had the moral and legal right to
make appointments which would be in
harmony with his own policy, and now
argues that this power belongs TO the
City Council, and advises a faction Of
that body to stand Arm In debating
TO the Mayor what appointments he
may make Is In furore Of anger and
a mist of confusion The Mayor has
been advised by the City Attorney as
TO his authority, and apparently In
tends to exercise II quietly but decd-
eddy.
The laws defining the respective
powers ofthe Mayor and the City Coun-
ell are very pointed and plain and
there ought TO be no conflict
between those officials The purpose
Of the faction that Is in a conspiracy
to thwart the Mayor In the exercise
Of his proper authority. have exhibited
their motive and their purpose 20 plain.
ly that everybody with eyes can see
them, "spoIls' is the wotchword. The
public welfare Is nothing to them,
Harmony, order, consistency and the
conduct Of municipal business are side
issues In their view. Give US the con-
trol and dlctoton OF appointments or
we will block the way ana stand firm"
as we are commanded that is the ten
or OF their ultimatum.
Now, II the Mayor Is unreasonaby
partisan or unfair In his course, he
should not be supported therein. We
are Of the opinion that he desires to be
just and equitable in the distribution
OF offices, and we think he has shown
this In his nominations But the open.

THE BRIGHAM CITY DISPUTE.

The Deseret News does not wish to
keep up controversy on matters that
do not belong to the proper sphere OF
Journalism but when they are forced
into that circle by public statements,
pro and con, which are commented up
on In such way as to deceive the UNI
Informed. II becomes necessary stme-
times to show up the errors set forth
and the anlmus that prompts their pub
LEGATION. a case In point is the ale ged
interference OF the local ecclesiastical
authorities at Brigham city, with the
private business and political liberty Of
some Of It's citizens
Letters have been published In salt
Lake papers, containing libellous state
ments concerning President Charles
Kelly OF the Box Elder Stake OF Zion
and his associates, and a reply to them
was made by a resident OF Brigham
city, which was reviewed and It's state
ments distorted edltorially by the Her
aid on Friday, And this calls for some
counter remarks IN the interest Of truth
and justice. The real cause Of dispute
is matter that concerns only the par
ties TO It, but the introduction OF false
and calumnious statements Of a more
general character, renders necessary
further public discussion
The Herald attacks the letter from
"Justice" which appeared In It's coll
umns, on the ground that It was really
confession and avoidance" to use a
legal term. and cites couple Of para
graphs from It which that paper pro-
ceeds to peryert from their evident
meaning. II Is clear from the state
ment OF Justice" that President Kelly,
who was accused Of arbitrarily inter"
fering IN water case simply acted as
an arbitrator at the urgent request Of
number Of citizens, and responded
by effecting a compromise between the
disputants. What was there wrong in
that? Because Mr. Kelley occupied an
ecclesiastical position there, was he
barred from actlng as mediator to
prevent costly litlgaion2
The advice and services OF gem
tlemen IN such standing In the
community are frequently desired and
sought for In the settlement Of differ

quested without pay for their labors

public, OF course vlrulent anti-"Mor-

NEW ODD FELLOW SUIT
Action Against Troutman &
Stone in Federal Court.

Kansas City, Kan, Feb. ia suit was
filed here in the United States circuit
court by Waggener. Doster & Orr of
Atchison, as attorneys for Caroline A.
Lortsch and Albertine Tasquet de Lau-
riere, against Troutman & Stone of To-
peka, skiing that their title to $500 acres
of land in franklin county be set aside
and be given to them as heirs at law of
the late Ernest Valeton Boissiere.
This is the former Kansas Odd Fellows
orphan home property to which Trout
man & Stone gained title after p~urGhas-
ing the claim of Madame Martinelll, a
sister of Boissiere. The two. plalntlfrs
are residents of France and claim to be a
niece and nephew of Madame Martinelli,
who sold Troutman & Stone her title:
They claim thai the title was secured
from her fraudulently.
This srit will make another tangle in
the web of litigation that is weaving
around the Boissiere estate in the efforts
of the Odd Fellows to recover it.. They
are already suing Troutman & Stone.
