In compliance with the established
custom of setting apart day in spring
for the planting Of trees and flowers,
I do hereby designate

Arbor Day for the State of North Da-

I earnestly recommend that the
schools and public institutions of the
State set apart that day for the plant
ing of trees and identifying the public
grounds, and by appropriate exercises
impress upon the children the value
and Importance Of forest growth. Let
me further urge upon the home build

CONSERVATIVES S
ALLEGE BRIBERY
Attempt Is Made to Unseat Members
of Nova Scotia Parliament

HALIFAX, N. s., Dec. 13.-A sensa-
ton was created in political circles by
the institution of legal proceedings
against w. s. Fielding, financial min
lister in the cabinet; Sir Frederick
Borden, minister Of militia and defense,
and four other leading Liberal mem
bers of parliament in Nova Scotia.
Petitions filed in the supreme court
asked that the parliamentary seats of
all six be declared vacant, on the
grounds of alleged bribery committed
by agents on their behalf in the gem
eral elections of Nov. 8. 1t is alleged
that Messrs. Fielding and Borden en-
tered into collusion with the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway promoters, by
which funds were provided to aid the
election of Liberal members to parlia-
ment.
The petitions were filed in the inter-
est Of the Conservative party. The
four other respondents are Hance J..
Logan, NJ P, Cumberland county; J.
B. Black, M. p, Hants county; E. M.
Mcdonald. M. P. Pictou county, and
f. A. Laurence, M. p, Colchester.
The proceeding is believed to be an
attempt on the part of the Conserva-
tive :. organization to obtain several
members from this province. In the
November election they lost every one
OF. the eighteen seats. Their leader
in the house of commons, r. L. Borden,
a cousin of Sir Frederick, was beaten
in this. county.

on in those fa1cyon days, but I, for
one, have enough faith in Charlotte to
believe that she will think that out,
too.
She does believe, however, that so
long as the women of today who are
not yet entirely free from the tram
meIs of the old life and have children
which must be cared for, some provi-
sion should be made for them in the
modern hotel by which they could be
amused and entertained while the
mothers seek the intellectual life which
nothing should interfere with. For
Charlotte long ago came to the con-
clusion, and boldly said right out in
the newspapers. that there was no
more reason for a woman to stay at
home than for a man. So there now.
She must take part-and no small part
lin the great teening life of the out
side world. She must not follow man,
but lead him. Mrs. Chadwick is q
sample of what great, broad soul can
do in this line. A woman has to have
piace-as has man-where she can
keep her things and her cflildren-if
she is SO unfortunate as to have the
latter-but there is no particular rea-
son why she should turn up there save
as a man does, to sleep and wash her.
face. This is the last cry of progress.
Let all Of us who are so unhappy as
to be women Whoop for progress.

MORMONS PRESCRIBE
DIRE PENALTIES
What 1t Costs to Reveal Secrets
of the Endowment
House

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. ia
Five witnesses were examined today
by the senate committee on privileges
and elections in the investigation Of
protests against Senator Reed Smoot
retaining his seat in the senate. The
first witness described the obligations
taken by persons who pass through
the endowment house and declared
that every one agrees to submit to
mutilation of the person if he or she
reveals what takes place during the
ceremony. Two members of the fac
ulty Of the Brigham Young university
testified that they have sustained po-
-lygamous relations since the manifesto
of 1890 and a teacher in the public
schools asserted that the church had
religion taught in such schools. Mrs.
Margaret Geddes a Mormon woman,
was examined concerning her plural
marriage and broke down on the stand.
J. H. Wallis Sr., Mormon from
Salt Lake, the first witness, testified
that he joined the Mormon church in
1851 in London and came to the Unit
ed States in 1890. Explaining the
marriages in the temple, Mr. Wallis
said it is necessary to take the endow
ment before marriage, and in this way
he had passed through the endowment
house twenty times at least. The cere-
monies were substantially the same and
each one consumes about two hours.
He had a distinct recollection of the
ceremonies within the temple and was
able to describe them just as they took
place Nearly all of the obligations
We're that those who took part would
not reveal anything they saw or heard
aon peril of nutiiation of the person.
The penalties agreed to were given by
Mr.. Wallis as follows:
That the throat be cut from ear to
ear and the tongue be torn. off; that
the breast be cut asunder and the heart
and vitals be torn from the body; that
the body be cut asunder at the middle
and the bowels cut out; that .ff de-
manded we will give all we possess
to the support of the church"
The next obligation was one of chas-
tity. in which the obligator agreed not

Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman has
broken forth in one of the Christmas
magazines in an article pertaining to
the decline of the American home, in
which she airs views which are some
what original But that is one of her
great charms; she is sure to think diff
ferently from you and me and every
one else. In fact she disagrees with
ject of home We hear mighty rea-
almost all known views on the sub
soners, men of profound mind and
economists who watch the signs of the
times, declare that the decline of the
home the herding of families into
apartment houses, the mad rush away
from the soil to the already crowded
cities, are signs that all is not well
with US. But not so in the opinion of
Charlotte. She sees further and deep
er than these mere men and she knows
that all these symptoms are merely
outward and visible signs of a great
growth and real progress. 1t takes
mind like Charlotte's to see that fine
point, but after reading her views it
is quite easy to realize that she is not
to be snuffed out by a few remarks
emanating even from the most learned
minds.
She asks, pointediy enough, what the
difference is between a home which is
up and down stairs, and one which is
all on one floor, as are the apartment
hotels and fats of modern days. Not
being able to answer that, we pass on
to other conclusions equally forcible.
when we say" she writes, 'the
American home, we think instructive
ly of the home of a hundred years ago;
and a hundred years ago in this age
of cumulative progress means more
than a thousand years in the past.
Our national life is changing in every
feature, changing more swiftly than
any peoples life ever changed before;
and in most of it's phenomena we are
proud of 1t. The distinctive spirit of
American progress is its sure and in
stant recognition of new values, new
methods, new lines of advance and it's
steady courage in taking advantage Of
them"
In other Words the fiat as a home,
the hotel as a place of residence, is not
a deterioration but an advance. 1t is
a phase of our national life. Char
lotte is brave enough to say that wom-
en- are not saved by drudgery, that the
doing of work by machinery, giving
women chance to cultivate the Splr-
itual and intellectual side of life, is a
distinct improvement over the old way
of living. AS for children-well, Char
lotte, does not go in very heavily for
children. She admits that in the mod
ern apartment hotel, as it is seen III
New York, there is no provision made
for children, but then the latter are a
survival of the unintellectual life Of
women in the past. Charlotte does not
say, but rather insinuates, that when
women fully come into the true life
hint at how the world is to be carried

Mr. Worthington,, in cross -examina-
ton, obtained statement from Mr..
Wallis that he had given notice to his
bishop several months ago of his sew
erance from the church. Mr.. Wallis
told the committee that he had always
considered the obligations in the light
of a joke and that he thought many
others had considered them in the
same way. There never had been any
solemnity in the taking of the obliga-
tions SO far as he could see. Mr.
Worthington told the committee that
he was not ready to proceed with the
cross examination until ne had con-
suited with others and asked that the
witness be excused until p m.

Brigham Young university, testified
that he had two wives, married before

always urged them to obey the law.
Woman,s Testimony
Mrs. Margaret Geddes, of Salt Lake
City, said she was born in Glasgow,
Scotland, where she was converted to
the Mormon faith and went to Utah
twenty years ago. She became the plu-
raj wife of William Geddes in Logan,
Utah, the same year. She said she did
not live with her husband much, as he
remained in Oregon, his other wife
living in Blaine City. She had four
children. Her husband died in Oregon
and she then went to her husbands
first wife and there a baby was born.
She broke down crying as she gave
this testimony.
It was brought out that her husband
died thirteen years ago and that her
youngest child is five and a half years
old. She said she had not been married
a second time and refused to give the
name OF her youngest cFlild's father.
She broke down again as she told the
committee she has no one to look after
her and that she sat In the waiting
room from a. M. until daylight after
arriving in Washington this morning.

what he expected to prove by that.
