I was never able to see the need of
much governmental interference with
the Mormons. Their polygamy was
an offenee-so is the presence in every
great city of a certain class of houses.
But the whole country does not get
into a state of mind about 1t, and eS-
cept when Henry Watterson makes
moral volcano of himself about New
York's Four Hundred, there is not
much said. The curious and obnoxious
feature of Mormonism is that its biga-
NOUS practices should be the offspring
of a religion actually believed in by
intelligent men. But heredity, ENVIRON
ment and education all contribute to
fashion our beliefs and unbeliefs. The
profoundest intellects of the Orient ac-
cept the teachings of Buddha, OF Con-
fucius and of Zoroaster. Scholars ana
statesmen proclaim that there is but
one Cod and Mahomet is his Prophet,
and many of us can recall the days
when any sect of the Christian church
would have expelled from its mem
bership any one who dared to deny the
literal truth of any of the Old Testa-
ment allegories.
The faith of the Latter Day Saints,
with polygamy eliminated differs little
in shirt or in detail from that OF any
evangelical creed. Its followers ac-
cent the ten messages of the thunder
as the origin of all law for human gov
eminent: they sit reverently at the feet
of the crucified Christ, and they de-
fend their belief in the revelations OF
their prophets by saying that there Is
nothing to warrant the assumption or
theolosians that revelations of GOD 10
man through the medium of human IN
telHgences ceased when John and Pc
ter and Paul went out Of business.

Religious and partisan prejudices
have much to do in making up his-

The great success of Rembrandt's pic
tures is said to have grown out OF
the accident of his having been accus-
toned TO make his earliest sketches
under the light which fell from the
onertr1re in the roof of his fathers
mill. He never outlived the charm OF
tho effect. It was photographed upon
his brain, and every future enort was

When an advanced thought presents

In private conversation as in public
