POLYGAMY DYING

Sentiment of Mormon People In Utah
Declared to Be Against PoIysa-
nous Marriages.
Washington. Jan. 14.-Three wit
nesses for the defence in the Smoot
case yesterday testified that polygamy
was dying out in Utah so rapidly that
there was no need of prosecutions.
1t was declared that the younger
Mormons are all opposed to polygamy.
and that II they thought 1t was taught
there would be a revolution in the
church.
1t was admitted that Senator Smoot
got the consent of the church to be-
come a candidate for senator. but only
in the form of leave of absence from
his church duties. and it was declared
that he could have been nominated and
elected without it.
j. w. N. Whitecotton, an attorney of
Provo, Utah, resumed his review OF
political affairs in Utah when the hear
ing opened to-day. No effort was made
by the church, he said. to restrict the
political liberties of the people gener-
ally, or Of any individuals, but it
claimed the right to receive the time
ana energies VI men WIN nave bSSh
elected to important church offices.
The deduction he drew was that the
church did not try to prevent Its mem
bers from engaging in politics without
the consent of the church, but that
when certain members accepted i'm
portant church offices the church had
a right to prevent such members from
accepting other offices which would
take their time. Mr.. Whitecotton said
he never had seen any difference in
business between Mormon and Gentle.
but he thought the Mormon voters ad-
hered more closely than the Gentiles
to their party affiliations.
1t was shown by the witness that
Gentiles had always held the most i'm
portant state Offices and that Gentle
judges who had been active In sentenc-
ing Mormons for polygamous cohabl-
tation received as large vote as other
candidates when they came up for re-
election.
81 think the decided sentiment OF
the Mormon people in Utah is hostile
to polygamy." said Mr.. Whitecotton.

Let Us Have Peace.

During the past two years Colorado
has often held the center of the stage;
she has filled many columns in current
literature; notoriety. If not fame. has

hope expressed by Gallatin to Jeffer-
son when about to enter the White
house: May your administration

Men of peace have no Plutarch.

prayer is that Colorado will make no

the hearts Of a contented, prosper

BULLSEYE FOR FIREMEN.
Chief SvinEIey of ST. Louis Invents
Electric Lantern.

Chief svvinEIey of st. Louis Invents
Electric Lantern.
An electric lantern invented for use
at fires by Chief Charles E. Swingley
of the st. Louis fire department, and
the only one of the sort in existence, is
now being tested with a view to it's
adoption by the local department, says
the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Experiments conducted thus far have
proved the lanterns superiority over
those now employed by fremen. The
only thing likely to delay the manufac-
ture of enough to supply the depart
ment is the cost.
The lantern consists of a dry storage
battery, inclosed in a square brass cas-
Ing, through which projects small
bulb and its protective metal hood, like
that Of a headlight A reflector multi
plies the brilliancy. Of the light SO that
it is estimated at forty candle power.
The lantern complete weighs eight
pounds.
It's advantages are it's safety for use
around powder, oils, gas or other ex-
plosives, the impossibility Of extin-
gushing it by wind, water or smoke
and its freedom from shadows such as
those cast by lanterns whose frames
are of wire.

NEW SCHEME IN THE NAVY,
How Biuejackets Are to Drum UP

How Biuejaekets Are to Drum Up
Recruits.
'In order to encourage enlistments In
the navy" said an officer of the navy
department to Washington Star re-
porter "we have arranged to send
parties Of bluejackets around the coun-
try to drum up recruits. They will ex-
hibit moving pictures Of the life Of
naval apprentices at the naval train
Ing station near Newport. These pic
lures were taken recently and, together
with others taken aboard ship, give a
good idea Of the life of a bluejacket.
With them the department hopes to in
terest boys in the interior of the coun-
try, who have little or no knowledge
Of life on the water, and to gain many
strong, husky recruits
Cigarette smokers" remarked a nav
al recruiting officer the other day, "are
rejected by the United States navy de-
partment in recruiting young men for
the service. A higher standard is now
observed by the navy in examining
young men physically, mentally and
morally. Those who are addicted to
liquor, who nave been convicted Of mis-
demeanors or who have bad characters
are rejected. The word has gone forth
to accept only the best qualified re-
cruits we can get. Young men Of coed
character can go into the service as
sured that they will not be cast among
rowdies, as is commonly supposed to
be the fate of the young recruit If the
government has exacted better qualifi-
cations Of it's young men, it has also in
sured them better. returns and better
conditions for them. The recruit no
longer lives dogs life; he is trained
and equipped physically, mentally and
morally"

AS Christmas approaches we think
Of friends who would appreciate gifts
Of plants or flowers more than any.
thing else. The dwarf retinosporas, frs
and spruces now so frequently grown
In pots for hall and balcony decoration
make very pretty Christmas trees, says
Annice Bodey Calland in Floral Life.
Araucarias also make fine Christmas
trees, and where there are children In
the friends family these would make
nice Christmas gifts, as the branches
Of the larger plants are stiff enough to
make decoration easy, and if handled
carefully they will be none the less
ornamental in the windows after the
holidays are over.
Plants that can be used for Christ
mas table decoration are fine for gifts.
The little dwarf Otaheite orange bush
es, which carry from six to ten small
bright yellow fruits at this season, are
very pretty. Euphosbis!V )insettia is
sometimes called .the Christmas plant
from the gay scarlet leaves that top its
shoots in wide wAorls. 1t does not
thrive we'll in the ordinary window
garden, but is so beautiful at Christ
mas that many people purchase it even
at extravagant prices, yet the beauty
of, the poinsettia soon fades, and the
plants may then be stored in a dark
warm place to rest until spring. Ardi-
STA crenulata and the dwarf golamuns
are very pretty little window bushes
now full of bright red berries. The
begonia Glorie de Lorraine is beauti-
full at this time. Chinese and obconica
primroses, cyclamen and scarlet gera-
NUNS in full bloom make pretty gifts.
Palms are always appreciated. The
Bermuda Easter lily if planted in Au-
gust may be had in flower by this time,
or they will make desirable gifts if not
In blossom. Bulbs-hyacinths, tulips,
narcissus and freesias head the list
are all fine for gifts at this time. Any
of the harder, beautiful leaved plants
make acceptable gifts, but be careful
that you do not duplicate some choice
plant in your friends collection.

Inc remarkable wave of temperance

john t. Rae, secretary Of the National

condemnation of the use OF alcohol by
some of the most influential medical
authorities.
Another important factor in the de-
creased consumption of wines and spir-
its is the fashion set by the large num-
Der OF American visitors, who show a
remarkable preference for ICED temper

The total abstinence of the majority
OF the labor leaders is also beginning

teetotalism is an important stepping
stone to their future progress"
There is no doubt" the manager of
one of the largest firms of wine mer-
chants told an Express representative
that the decrease in wine and spirit
drinking is due to the present tight
ness Of money and the high rate of the

public are only spending about half as
much on wines as they were formerly
in the habit of doing"

4 Letter From College.

Your Henrys fractured, mother dear,
Upon the gridiron sporty;
His feet betwiXt the goal posts near,
At fourteen yards he left an ear.
A collar bone at forty.
A doctor now, with loving care,
His cartilage is lacking.
They say he will not miss his hair.
AS nearly all his ribs are there,
Though several bones are lacking.
He holds his thOrax with a groan
And says it hurts a-little.
His coaches say, in awestruck tone,
They'd not have done it had they known
That Henry was SO brittle.
They say that Henry didn't lack
The talent and the training.
At half he was a crackerjack.
(You couldn't make a quarterback
OF what there is remaining.)
Alas, he had the proper stuff,
Though rather tall and slender,
And, though his fate Is somewhat rough,
'Tis not because the games too tough,
But Henry is too tender.

HISTORY OF FINLAND.
Country Freed by the Gar Was For
merIy Under Sweden.


merly Under sweden.
Finland, which has won freedom
from the ear, has an area OF 142,OOO
square miles and population of about
100000, says the Chicago News. The
largest cities are Helsingfors, the cap
ital; Abo. Viborg and Tammerfors.
Finnish is>the language Of the common
people, but Swedish is spoken by many
and Russian by a few. SWedes form
about Ii per cent Of the population.
Finland was under Swedish rule for
500 years, enjoying an autonomous
constitutional government. By the
treaty Of Elrederickshamn in 1909 the
country was coded to Russia, but it re-
tanned it's laws and practically its own
system OF home rule until in 1898, when
the present car began his policy OF
repression, with view to completely
Russifying the duchy. In 1902 the
last vestige Of Finnish autonomy was
destroyed, and Il Russian governor
general with autocratic powers was
placed III charge. Within the last few
years Helsingfors and other cities in
Finland have been the scenes of many
aSsassinationS and disorders.
Dairying is one of the principal in
dustries OF Finland, and large amount
of butter is exported annually. The
census of 1899 showed that the farm
ers owned $685. 1856 horses, 1,457, 423 cat
tie, 1,031, 185 sheep and 214,2O6 swine.
In the northern part Of the country,
which is occupied to large extent by
nomadic Firms and Laplanders, there
were 1897 reindeer. The leading eX-
port of the duchy for many years has
been timber, the value of that shipped
out in 1900 amounting to $50, 100000
The chief manufactured products are
lumber and wooden articles, textiles,
leather, flour, iron and paper.
HelSingfors and AbO are the best
known of the Finnish cities. All the
steamers from Stockholm touch at
these places on their way to ST. Peters
burg, and they are frequently visited
by tourists. They are also connected
by rail with the cars chief city. In
appearance the Finnish towns resemble
those Of Sweden except that they are
usually dominated by one or more large
churches of the characteristic Russian
type.
Helsingfors has close to 100000 in
habitants, Abo 10000, Tammerfors 3d.
900 and Viborg 10000. The population
is overwhelmingly Lutheran in religion.
In 1899 there were 2,620,891 Of that
faith, 1882 Orthodox Greek, 1920
Baptists, $50 Roman Catholics and 300
Methodists. Nearly all the people are
parochial and travelling schools, besides
universities and colleges.

To Transport Lithuanians.

Within short time a great section
of ChicagO's Lithuanian colony, 1O,-
900 at leGst is to be transported bodily
to the Columbia river valley, on the
Pacific coast, says Chicago dispatch
The membership fee is set at 500,
which VIII give the society a capital of
$1O00,00O. Factories will be started,
towns built, and an army Of workers
will settle down into lives Of country
people, The colony will have no re-
strictions If man is a Lithuanian,
that will be sufficient There is moth
ing socialistic or communistic about
the movement. 1t is expected that 15,-
900 other Lithuanians in this country
will join their Chicago brethren in the
colony.

ChiIdless Mobility.

Since 1910 thirty British peers or eld-
est sons of peers have married in the
United States Of these thirteen have
no children at all, five have no sons
and five have only one son. The total
number of peers children with Amer
lean mothers is thirty-nine, of whom
eighteen are sons.
During the same period twenty-three
peers or eldest sons of peers have mar
ried in the colonies. Four have no
childen, seven have one son, eight have
two sons and two have three sons.
That is to say, though the number of
colonial peeresses is seven less than the
number of American peeresses, they
have nearly twice as many children,
and, while six of them have neglected
to present their husbands with heirs,
nineteen Americans are guilty of the
same neglect.
In the lower ranks of the aristocracy
the figures are even more startling. Of
Americans who are the wives of Eng
lishmen with courtesy title or baro-
netcy, there are forty-four. Of these
seventeen, or nearly half, have no chill
dren and eight have only one child
1t therefore comes to this, that since
1910 the number of titled Americans,
exclusive of knights wives, has risen
to seventy-four, of whom thirty are
childless and fourteen have but one
child.
In face of these figures, the conten-
ton that by means of American brides
fresh vigor may be imported into the
British aristocracy is merely ridiculous.

cattlemen and sheepmen at Peace

''The cattlemen and sheepmen are
coming to more amicable understand,
ing, and few more sheep killings are
expected" said Douglas Macarthur, a
sheepman of Prineville, Ore, to a cor
respondent Of the Portland Oregonian.
SIN fact, many Of the cattlemen are
buying sheep, and the enmity which
existed between the two factions is not
SO strong as it used to be. Sheep are
very easily killed, and two or three
men with rifles can slaughter sur
prisingly large number of them in a
very short time. The animals when
they become frightened Immediately
bunch up, seeking safety In numbers,
and this makes it all the easier for
those who shoot them. When they
bunch, several OF them can be killed
with one shot,
