In these days OF rich mems sons the
charge is freely made by a member Of
the Princeton faculty that the Princeton
undergraduates are badly dressed. A
sweater pair of trousers and WORKOUT
shoes are the favorite worll-day, attire Of
the young Princetonians. and this dress
is affected to so great an extent as to
make it almost college fad. The idea
is to present a sort of what-do-we-c care,
rblase exterior. The faculty announces
that no formal attempt will be made at a
change but the matter will be taken up
with the students individually. Affected

The President S Letter.

President Roosevelt has written
long letter, but one that Will be read.
His admirable literary style serves him
well when it comes to presenting any
proposition to public consideration.
There is nothing commonplace, about
this letter. A man who really cares
anything about the national issues and
wishes to be informed with respect to
them, whether he belongs to the presi-
dent 8 party or not, if he begins this let
ter is going to, finish it. It is interesting
as a declaration of what the. repub-
ican party represents It is inter
esting as a review of what the demo
cratic party stands for, and particularly
what it has tried to dodge.
Mr.. Roosevelt has written a letter
which will almost compel attention at
the hands Of Judge Parker. Without
any personal reference to his opponent,
the president introduces quota tions from
the acceptance speech made at Esopus
and treats them in suchT manner that
somebody will have to talk.
The republicans have reason to be
proud of a candidate who can frame
such mastery defense of republican
principles and performances, and who
can. so skillfully discover the weak
spots in the armor of: the opposition
Judge Parker has his task cut out fol
him now and if he does not rise to the
demands of the occasion better than he
did in his acceptance speech comparison

opportunities and their tasks, as indi

SMALL MISTAKES.

Our correspondent at Pocatello desires
us TO explain why the press dispatches
from Washington, as published In some
Of the papers stated that President
Smith testified that IAN angel In black"
revealed a certain doctrine TO the
Prophet Joseph Smith. The words Sin
black" were not given In the report In
the Deseret News.
II our correspondent had read closely,
he would have seen that the News
explained the whole matter showing
that It was clearly reporters or dis.
patoher's error, the same as giving the
name OF Frank" Cannon instead of
Abraham Cannon, also NJ. C, Edward
son instead Of N. c. Edefson, stating
that President Smiths two counselors
were 'reputed to be polygamlsts," and
other mistakes, Reference TO the official
minutes IN full OF the proceedings
show that President Smith did not use
the words IN black" or I'm white or
I'm red" or In any color whatever.
We have already expressed our opn-
ion that the Associated Press report has
been In the main correct, and not In
tentIonally erroneous when slight mis-
takes have been made. II Is surprIs-
ingly accurate synopsis Of the proceed
ings but like all things human Is not
absolutely hawless. When we KNOW
that a blunder has been made We do not

love feasts, and even Of cannibalism.
Rumor, then az now, had swift wings,

IN Mormon literature. any alluslon 10
the United States President, or the
United States government, as Cog and
Magog? II is safe to say that no MOI
mon," In speech or writing, ever made
that comparison.
The mormon" faith is that the Unit
ed States government was Instituted by
the, Almighty Ruler OF nations, with
the view OF the establishment OF HIS
Church in the land, as preliminary 10
the second advent OF Jesus, Just as the
Mosaic government was instituted and
Palestine consecrated, with the view of
the first advent Of our Savior, and the
establishment OF His Church In the
world The "Mormons' have never re-
garded the presidents of the United
States as prosecutors, nor the govern
ment as oppressive, On the contrary,
they have correctly ascrlbed the perse-
cutlons, trials, and mobblngs they have
passed through, TO the hatred Of bigot-

INTERESTING DOCUMENTS.

We have published for the benefit OF
persons unacQualnted with Utah af-

rltorial conditions into sovereign state
hood, some Of the proceedings Of the

be understood that the President Of the

"Gentiles' and "Mormons" Joined In the
work OF formulating the instrument,
under which Utah was to enter the

That this was done with full under.

which We have already quoted, but also
