RUSSIANS CHEER
FOR ROOSEVELT.
SkPetersburg. Mar. 14.-Presi-
dent Roose ve1t's recent proc1a-
nation regarding the observation
of neutrality by all officials and
the abstention from either action
or speech which might cause
irritation to either Japan or Rus
STA, has produced a great impress
sion. The newspapers this
morning print prominently ar
ticles commencing the substance
and spirit of the proclamation in
the highest terms.
The official gazette accepts it
unreserved1y as a complete an
swer to the charges that the
American government is hostile
to Russia, and declares that
hereafter despite any seemingly
untoward incident which NAV
arise, it will be considered once
for all that the American gov
eminent has taken friendly at
titude toward our aims and poll
cies in the Far East" adding:
This undoubtedly marks a
change in American sentiment,
the people there realizing the
danger of supporting Japan"
The Novosti halls the auspi-
cious initiative of President
Roosevelt in the interest of uni
versal peace and good relation
ship between Russia and the
United States, saying:
He Yields practically un1imit
ed authority with respect to the
foreign policy of the country,
Secretary Hay submitting to the
will of the president"
The Russ welcomes the procla-
nation as convincing evidence of
a more friendly feeling on the
part of the Americans for Russia.

STARTLING TEACHINGS
OF MORMON CHURCH

Washington, March 12-"The Kingdom of God is an
order of government established by Divine authority
1t is the.only legal government that can exist in any
part of the universe.
All other governments are illegal and unauthorized
God has made all beings and worlds has the SUI
preme right to govern them by His laws and by
officers of His appointment
Any people attempting to give to themselves by
laws of their making and by officers of their own
appointment these Divine rights direct rebellion
against the kingdom of God. All emperors kings primo
presidents lords and rulers acted without author
ity
Not one of them called or Amounted king or
prince by the God of heaven
MOT of them has received his Office or appoint
ment of Him.
Not of them has received any communication
whatsoever from the rghtful Sovereign, the King.
Their authority is all assumed it has originated in
man.
Their laws not from the great Law Giver but
the production of their governments.
Their foundations laid in rebellion, and the
whole superstrucure from first last is heterogeneous
mass of dscord and direct opposition the kingdom of
God which is the only true government that should be
recognized on earth or in heaven.
The kingdom of God is a theocracy."
That is what the Mormon church believes That is
what its elders teach That is what of it's apostles

Smoothas written out had printed circulated for the
instruction and edifcation of the faithful.
Evidence of that fact introduced in the Smoot
investigation today It came like "a bolt from the
bue to the members of the senate on prvi
leges and elections.
Senator Overman of North Carolina, was responsible
for it.
I hold in my hand" said he, "a book that is entitled
Series of Pamphlets the Doctrines of the Gospel
by the late Elder Orrn Patt the twelve apostles

The title page states that it is printed at the Juye-
nile instruction Office, Salt Lake City,
On pages Al and ~, under the chapter headed The
Kingdom of Cod read the Words" and he read the
sentences quoted above.
Members of the committee looked startled into one
another's faces.
The incident the most sensational revelation of
the day. 1t lent great weight to the constantly accumu
atng evidence that Senator Smoot is interviewer in Do

society and order of civilization that rests upon the
principle of monogamy.
It leaked out this afternoon that Mormons are crcu-
lating Orrin Patts book throughout the country and

principles of ecclesiastical and secular government set

The question is, Does Senator Smoot sanction

apostle of the church is responsible for them bv what
of reasoning he with intelligent LOYALTY

THE INDIANOLA POST OFFICE.

Is it postal tyranny for the post
master general to reduce the rank of
post office from a presidential to a
fourth class because it's postal re-
ceipts did not show a twelve months
earnings, he having closed and dis
continued the office for six months? :?
Ii the postmaster general had good,
sufficient and legal grounds for dis
cnntinuing the office, then he has
the right to rank it according to the
law governing such cases based upon
the postal receipts of this office. II
on the other hand the act of discon-
tinuing the Office was nothing but
the exercise Of an arbitrary partizan
measure as rebuke or punishment
OF the patrons of this office, then we
think that he would have no right to
reduce the rank, for the simple rea-
son that the cause of the failure to
reach the required postal receipts to
'entitle this office to the place of
presidential appointiye Office was the
result Of his own acts and not the
fault Of the postmaster or patrons.
The Indianola post office in the
state Of Mississippi was closed, dis
continued for six months by the post
master gen eral, on account OF the at
titude and opposition OF the white
patrons of this office towards Mrs.
Cox, the colored postmaster. She
resigned; but the post Office depart
ment refused to accept her resigna-
tion. She further declined to hold
the position, and the post office de-
partment through the president re-
fused to make any other appointment
OF postmaster for that Office, rather
than do 80 the department discon-
tinued the office, and the patrons
were forced in consequence to 60 10
miles for their mail at another post
office.

THAT MISSISSIPPI POST OFFICE.

The shameful, disgraceful editorial
which was written and published in
the Commonwealth" a newspaper
issued, owned and controlled by Var
daman, governor of Mississippi, and
acknowledged by him as his, about
which so much has been written and
published in the papers all over the
United States, forms in our judgment
a sufficient and just reason for the
post master general for refusing to
name newly established post Office
in that state for such man as Var
daman. We are surprised at the
people of that State for electing such
man. Had a candidate for govern
or of the State of South Carolina said |
such q thing, not only about a decent
and respectable white woman, but
about negro woman, human be-
ing possessing soul, would be suffi-
cient to defeat him. Mr.. Vardaman
is evidently an educated man as is
shown by his writings; but in our
humble judgment devoid Of those re-
fined feelings and sentiments which
make and measure up to the standard
| of true gentleman. The following
is taken from the Newberry Observer,
which we fully endorse, as every true
son of South Carolina does:
vARDAMAN's oFFENsE.
We have seen Vardaman's letter
and we have seen his editorial about
the mother of the president, and we
are ashamed that any southern man
could be found to write such things
about a woman. Postmaster Payne
was. right in refusing to name post
| office for him. We cannot see how
| any man can have any other opinion
| on this subject. The editorial is
brutal and coarse in it's reference to
the president, and in it's reference to
| the presidents mother it is low and
vile. Let no southern man with
spark of chivalry try to uphold the
conduct of Vardaman. Here Is the
editorial, which Vardaman not only
acknowledges, but attempts to justi-
fy. 1t appeared in the Common.
wealth Of January 10, 1908:

The well-llnown game of Hearts played in a
way and with charming accessories, furnishes
just the plan needed for such an entertainment.
Six or seven is good number in the matter of
tables, and each table is known by the name of a
certain color shade. Thus one is red one green,
another pale blue, others pink, silver, gold and
white.
Each table is decorated in the particular color
and has suspended above it strip of cord, which is
gold red, yellow, green as the case requires.
Every guest on arriving draws, blirdfolded, q
slip of paper, on which is written the of some
shade color. Four of the slips marked "bue,"
four pink four green" and on. Each of the
four persons drawing red begins at the red table,
drawing gold at the gold table, and so on.
The colors drawn are retained not merely for the
game, but throughout the evening Each lady
