the Office, let the state hire q man for

Governor Toole advised the eighth

When Easter Falls.

A correspondent asks the St.
Paul Dispatch if. during the last en-
fury, Easter Sunday has ever fallen
on April Is, and if So, on what day
and date. He also asks how Easter
day is determined. The answer is of
general interest, for Easter being a
movable feast is not understood clear.
ly by all. The editor answers as fol.
lows:
Easter Sunday has fallen three
times upon April Is during the last
100 years, viz: In 1913, 1924 and 1897.
1t also fell upon April IS, 1902, which
is more than 100 years ago. 1t will
next fall upon April Is in 1854.
Easter always falls upon the first
Sunday following the first full moon
after the vernal equinox. The vernal
equinox falls on March p, consequent
ly Easter could fall as early as March
% and as late as April %. This year,
the moon will be full on March 20 and
again on April 10, SO that Easter will
occur on April 23. The amateur fore.
caster of Easter might fall into a lat
ural error if he be not aware of the
fact that the ecclesiastical reckouer
does not employ the date of the astro-
nomical full moon, but invariably
computes the fourteenth day of the
lunar month. This is why Easter
might come as early as March - and
as late rs April %.

kEARNs DENOuNCEs MORMON1sM.
Utah Senator Says Mormon Leaders Are
In Control Of That State,

WASHINGTON. Feb. %. - Senator
Dearns Of Utah made today bis fare.
we'll address to the senate. his talk
consisting largely of adverse criticism
of Mormonism in his state called
forth by the Smoot case. He said
statehood had been granted Utah
through pledges given by the people
of Utah that the Mormon leaders
would live within the laws relating to
plural marriages., and enforce the
obligation upon all followers under
the penalty of disfellowship: that the
leaders of the Mormon church would
no longer exercise political sway, and
that their followers be free in bust.
ness. Senator Kearns charged the
the compact has been broken wilfully
and frequently and that no apostle
has protested against the violations.
Speaking of the tithing system, Mr..
Kearns said that no was
made of this a sum of one.tenth Of
all the incomes of the Mormons, and
that the president of the church ex.
pended 1t according to his " will.
He said the hopelessness of contend.
ing 10 a business way with this auto
crat, was perfectly apparent, and he
continued:
1t will astound you to know that
every dollar of the United States
money paid to any v of the gov.
eminent who is a Mormon is tithed
for the benefit of this monarch. Out
of every thousand dollars thus paid,
he gets 800. to swell his grandeur.
This is also true Of the money paid
out of the public treasury of the state
of Utah to Mormon officials. But
what is worst Of all, the monarch dips
into the sacred public school funds,
and extracts from every Mormon
teacher one.tenth of his or her earn
ings and uses it for his unaccountable
purposes: and by means Of these pur.
poses and the power which they con.
s%titute, be defies the laws of his state,
the sentiment of his country, and is
waging a war of notification on the
public school system so dear to the
American people. One.tenth of all
the annual earnings of all the Nor.
mons in all the world flows to him.
These funds amount to 81, 600, 600 an.
nually."
Continuing Mr.. Kearns said: "Par.
ties are nothing to these leaders, ex.
cept as parties may be used by them.
So long as this is a republican ad.
ministration and congress-. they will
lead their followers to support repub.
licau tickets, but if, by any chance,
the democratic party should control
this government, with a prospect OF
continuance in power, you would see
a gradual veering around under the
direction of the Mormon leaders. No
man can be elected to either house OF
congress against their wishes.'

Cost of Feeding the Army.

The standing army Of the United
States is composed of about IS, 600
men. The cost of feeding this force
last year was SS,2Sl, $50, or only
Sl3l. 80 Il year, $lO.S1 Il month, 80
cents Il day or Il cents a meal for
every soldier. The components of the
ration are pure aud of the very best
quality of foodstutfs that the govern
ment can buy. The American soldier
has bacon, beef or mutton. three
times Il day.
Considering the prices which the
average citizen pays for the sometimes
rather poor food he eats. the cost of
~victualing the army appears very
reasonable. But nevertheless the
commissary general ~deprecatiugly
states, that these figures are higher
than they should be. ami claims that
they can be materially reduced if he
i, given authority to carry out the
suggestions embodied in his last re.
port. The general shows that $500, -.
600 of the sum expended last year by
the commissary department OF the
army was a dead loss due to waste of
provisions in transportation o I
through unnecessary accommodations
at ports. He claims he can save this
loss. besides making savings in other
ways if his department is given au-
,hority to bring about the reforms he
asks for.

4 BROKEN

Relying upon the assurance that all
the pledges made in the republican
state platform would be redeemed by
a republican majority in the ninth
legislative assembly, the Missoulian
of recent date remarked:
Gloss it over as we may, the fact
sticks out that the people Of Montana
are opposed to the state treasurer
drawing interest or deposits of state
moneys. The interest belongs to the
state and should 60 into the state
treasury.
Republican newspapers that accept.
ed the platform pledges of their party
in good faith are compelled to make
the humiliating confession that a bill
to secure the proper disposition of
public funds was killed in the state
senate, which consists of sixteen re.
publicans and ten democratic men,
bers. Commenting upon this repudia.
ton OF Il republican promise, the
Great Falls Leader says:
The republican platform last fall
contained a plank stating that interest
upon state funds belongs to the peo.
pie of the state, and Of right should
be paid into the state treasury for the
benefit of the people. 1t was, per-
haps, the best plank in the platform
from Il taxpayers standpoint.
Its carrying out means some where
in the neiyhborhood of $40, 600 t o $2O,-
600 per year made for the taxpayer:
the exact amount is said to be even
greater than the larger sum named.
For years the general understanding
is hat the treasurer has added the
interest upon state funds to his salary
annually, making the Office the best
lar graft exceeding the graft Of any
other office in the gift of the people.
Graft is the word, for the law ts-
pecially says the state treasurer shall
not receive one cent for his services
except his salary section II. articl,
|. OF the state constitution:
The making OF profit on, OF publ,
moneys. or using the same for any
purpose not authorized by law, by any
public officer. shall be deemed Il
felony. and shall he punished as pro.
,ided by law: bat part of such punish
mcnt shall be disqualification to hold
public office.
That plank of the republican stat,
platform touching upon this matter
read as follows:
1--WE are opposed to the use OF pub
lie money for private gaiu, which is
forbidden by ~ constitution aud
public rights lis We'll, and We pledg,

GOV. TOOLE VS.. GOV. TOOLE..

One of the eo.called sensational in-
cilen,s of the Legislative session was
a controversy between Governor
Toole and Montana lawmakers, as to
the constitutional RICH, to make APP
pointment to a new office created by
the Legislative assembly. The dispute
related to the creation of a new Judi
cial district in eastern Montana, the
bill naming Judge lIa,horn as tn,
presiding officer of the district until
his successor is elected.
The bill was passed by the legisla,
tive assembly but was vetoed by Gov
error Toole, the latter contending
thai the power of appointment to q
state Office is vested in the executive.
Other reasons were given by Gov.
ernor Toole. but his main argumeu,
was to the effect that the legislativ,
assembly is authorized only to create
a state Office, and that thereupon q
vacancy exists which must be filled
by the executive. The veto was sus.
tanned by the Legislative assembly,
the opposition failing to muster
two-thirds vote.
The incident has caused an inter,
esting discussion regarding the con.
stitutional rights of the executive and
the legislature in the matter of APP
pointments to new Offices that may be
created, some authorities claiming
that a vacancy exists only in case OF
the death or resignation of 4 public
