"MoRMoNS" AS THEY ARE.

An exceedingly interesting, illustrated
article on the Latter-day Saints in
Utah. appears in the May number Of
the Canadian Magazine, published In
Toronto, Canada, II Is written by Mr.
James l.. Hughes, and he tells how
many of his misconceptions regarding
the "Mormons' were corrected during
his stay in this city, a couple Of years

that he win not always be losing

culties Of the Japanese position by
drawing out the line Of their commune
cations. That is one view,
But the editor Of the National Geo
graphic Magazine Mr.. Gilbert H. Gros-
yenor, takes an entirely different view.
In a letter 10 the Springfield Repub-
llcan, he points out that the japanese
war is essentially different from those
waged with Charles XII and Napoleon.

| His conclusion Is that Russla's one
chance Of success was in the begin
ming Of the war. II she is beaten at
first, she cannot recover from the de-.
| feat She cannot add to her resources
as rapidly as can Japan. He argues:
1--WE may assume that one Jap equals
one Russian, but there is no doubt (ad-
mitted even In the Russian official re-
ports) that the japanese cannon are
vastly superior I'm power and range,
Russia's one hope was to win at the be-
ginning, especially at sea, having lost
the beginning she viii lose all, For her
sake it is unfortunate that her ships
were so scattered and that she so de-
spised and moderated her enemy.
When the Russians have lost Hardin
and all south of it, how are they going
TO get back? They can't because they
can't get the men and guns and sup
plies necessary for powerful inv8-
sion." This is the other view. And It
is to be feared that this has facts on
which TO rest.
The Japanese have prepared for this

tween her and China, That is nine
years ago They have attended to
every detail of this war, and seem to
go forward with the irresistible force
of an avalanche.
When the Chinese Japanese war was
on, the exploits OF the Japanese on land
and at sea did not evoke, very much
admiration for the Japanese officers
and soldiers Their success was as
crbed to the supposed ignorance and
cowardice Of the Chinese. This opir-
ion ought to be revised. The Chinese
offered some resistance. They met the
enemy I'm several hot engagements. The
Russians have not even done that, so
far. They have kept their ships under
cover. and their armies on the run
And yet some are unable to see the
possibility OF an Asiatic general rising
against European invasion It Is really
believed that the Chinese are now oper-
ating with the Japanese. 1t Is feared
in st. Petersburg that the Chinese Gem
eral Ma has contemplated his army on
chinese territory to fall on the Rus
SLAMS when they are forced by the for
ward movement Of the Japanese to re-
treat into Monaghan territory. This,
1t is said, is part Of a plot between the
two nations, and as the Russians, IN
falling back into neutral territory to
escape the overwhelming force of Jap
anese, will be really invaders no breach
of international law will have been COM
mitted by Chinese action In view of
the dispatches regarding the hostile
attitude of the Chinese the Russians do
not conceal their apprehension as to
the outlook

cation OF the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad company and the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad company, This is GER
tanly defeat for the ticket brokers.
They may appeal but can scarcely
expect a decision In time to afford them
any relief The railroads have won a
great victory,
That a railroad company may make
a contract with person travelling over
It's road on any terms 1t chooses is a
fact settled beyond dispute. II the
terms are not acceptable they need not
be agreed TO, but when the contract Is
made each party can insist upon the
Observance OF its terms, These nom
transferable tickets no doubt are special
contract tickets the terms Of which
cannot be taken advantage Of except by
the parties TO them such being the
case, why should the railroads be given
the benefit OF an extraordinary remedy?
There is no reason to believe that the
other party to the contract would be.
The roads need not honor a non-trans-
forable ticket presented by any other
than the person TO whom issued, and
can take ample measures to protect
themselves.
The question arises: II a broker TO
whom a non-transferable ticket Is sold
can be enjoined from selling 1t again,
why cannot the original purchaser be
enJoined from selling Il? OF course he
is not making a business Of selling nom
transferable tickets and keeps no Of

there is anyone culpable In the first in

an interstate matter over which Con-

The case Is sure to become a land
mark in railroad law and the example
here set will be followed IN other places.
It points short cut to the attain
ment OF a desirable object and does
away with the annoyance and ex-
pense Of an ordinary trial in suits for

lations, he says. have been enforced,
buildings have been connected with
sewers, and a tremendous amount Of
cleaning up has been done. That Is
the secret OF overcoming diseases.
Sometimes citizens demur nc observ-
Ing the rules that both reason and ex-

preservation Of the health Of a commu-
nifty. They are careless especially in
