While we are discussing this question
we are all more or less Influenced 10y
established beliefs and pre1udiceH.
When denuded OF the political and re-
ligious aspect, the Mormon people come
In for large share OF credit In the
rapid Advancement OF the great west
and southwest.
I'm this day OF many creeds and dog
mas, the critical observer Is very apt to
discard the entire catechism and creed
and Judge the individual from tho
standpoint OF his sincerity In HIS be-
lief. The annals OF the Mormon peo-
pie are blood red with sacrifices 70
these beliefs, so obnoxious to many of
the American people. Their trail from
the east toward the undeyeloped west Is
n trail mlle-marked by the bleRched'
bone monuments Of sacrifice and the
west OF today bears lndisputable evil
dence Of their thrift and industry
Utah Is not the only place where
this remarkable sect has transformed
the barren and unyelding desert into
comparative paradise. Arlzonas most
progressive farmers are Mormons. In
almost every case they have taken pos
session of desert lands, miles from the
railroad, and there learning thrift from
their rugged surroundings and environ
ments have builded communities that
are the peer In wealth and learning OF
any section OF the east,
navajo county Arizona, ~ one of
the locations where the Mormons have
In a few years made remarkable adj
yancement They have about seven
towns in that county. Each town owns
its own Irrigation system and Snow
flake, thrty-eight miles from rail-
road, is conceded TO be the prettest
town In Arizona.
Judge Mahoney, one of Arlzona's old
est politicians, before the recent cleo
ton was giving a young aspirant for
POLITICAL honors a little friendly adj
vice. In the course OF his remarks he
said You don't want to 10 out among
these Mormon people with the idea that
you are going 10 capture their vote on
the hot air plan. You're going into
communities where every farm hand Is
q scientist. and youll be In luck IL they
don't all know more than you DO. You
won't go into a home but what you
Will nnd the best books OF the best
writers and you won't find a home hut
that Il has some kind OF a musical In
suument and someone TO play II. You'll
ma that those people up there viii
have definite IDEAS about the govern
ment and they viii probably know more
political economy than you could ever
learn The best part OF 1t all Is, too
that you VIII ind that they have done
all this for themselves. They don't ask
Uncle sam or anybody else TO build
their schools and colleges, and they
don't ask the government to build their
irrigation systems, They do things for
themselves The Fighting Navajo az
Mahoney IL called, has certainly had
enough experience with Mormons TO
know whereof he speaks.
In looking on the Mormon question
II VIII not be entirely out OF place to
stand IN conformity with the old adj
age and give the devil his dues"

teria It should be parted with only as
last recourse TO save life,
Another authority, DR., RabagliatL is
said to support this view. He Is quot
ed as follows
"A structure rich In lymphoid ele-
ments has probably useful part 10
play IN the economy, and It would be
far more useful to poor and suffering
humanity, though possibly less lmme-
diately beneficial TO the prophets, to
advise how 10 keep the appendix yer.
iformix and other parts sound and
healthy than TO proceed 10 remove them
I'm the way that is now freely proposed
and carried out, Even after the appen-
dix ls removed the caecum and other
parts OF the intestine may become In
Named and the appendlx-less patient
may stil suffer from Inflammation OF
the caecum or Of the bowels, from perl
typhlitls or entrltls. Are we 10 excise
the caecum IN order 20 prevent typhli-
It's or peri-typhlitls2 or would II be
wise 10 amputate the head In order TO
prevent neuralgia IN the face2
The philosophy that finds something
useful In everything created Is more
likely to be built on the rock OF truth,
than that which pronounces as useless
whatever human science can nnd no
apparent use for.

THE AWAKENING ORIENT.

That China Is awakening Is not to
be disputed, II reports from that coun-
try are true. And what the awaken
Ing OF an Aslatlc nation means Is Illus
trated IN the history Of Japan--.a coun-
try that IN the brief span OF half a
century has grown TO mans stature
and mental development What Japan
has done China can undoubtedly do.
According TO reports, China is about
to reconstruct her judicial system, Her
courts are not recognized by the pow
ers, and foreign Offenders are tried by
foreign courts. This system was for
the foreign powers recognize the juris-
diction of the Japanese courts. The
Chinese aspire to similar privileges and
have begun the reconstruction OF their
judicial system, taking the japanese
system as a model. Hundreds Of Chi
nese law students are now said to be
studying in Japan, and other hundreds
will follow from China, as soon as the
overrowded schools Of Nippon can re-
ceiye them.
They are also said TO have commenced
the reconstruction OF their army.
Japanese officers are preferred 1t
seems, for this duty, as they appear TO
understand the Chinese soldier better
than do ofiicers OF any other nationality.
A strong, mobile force OF 100000 men
is TO be the nucleus OF the new army,
the men OF the force being picked with
special reference to their future duties.
once this force is organized, and the
frontiers made secure, the work OF
drilling much greater force will be
begun, the men OF the army now in
process OF formation TO serve MS officers
of the greater army.
Az the same time plans are being laid
for a powerful navy.
China, It Is true, loves peace, but
should the country be In a position to
make war the martial spirit might take
possession Japan's ultimate aim is,
no doubt, To rescue Asia from Euro
pean oppression, A reiuvenated China
would be a powerful ally In the work OF
defense.
