/ eQualed. For this purpose he has an
! exceptional equipment. Ever since
childhood he has been on the inside OF
the workings of the church.
Cannon's Large Following.
Canno has built up a large following
among the younger and progressive
| Mormons, as well as among men. and
women outside his church. He opposed
the selection OF Reed Snoot. on the
ground that it was wrong for the church
to. interfere in politics-that it would
bring sorrow to the Mormon people and
| woe to Utah. Last fall he announced
that he believed the issues within the
state of supreme Importance to the resi-
tents of Utah, and ne joined the newly
fe4aed American party, which was or
gained to fight the Mormon church in
politics.
Not long after the presidential cleo
ton he begas he fight on Smith. For
some time an e--ort was made to ignore
the attacks, but finally the president of
the church took cognizance of them by
ordering the officials in Mr.. Cannonss
ecclesiastical ward to bring proceed
ings to cut him off from the church,
which were successful.
While the Mormon church has always
welcomed any attack made on its reli-
gion as religion from the out
side, this is the first time in
its history that the attack has ben
from within. and the hierarchy is
frightened. Prosecutions from out
siders have only served to make mar
tyrs Of the followers Of the creed Of
Brigham Young and helped to solidify
the people in a defensive attitude
But now comes war within the
church, in which the members of the
organization make accusations against
those in authority, while the accusers
maintain their adherence to the faith.
Every move made by Smith and his
followers thus far has only involved
them further, and those who are fight
ing them welcome with gIee the inereas-
ing feeling against them among the
Mormons.

Opening of Schools

September signallzes the oper-
ing of the schools in Lexington,
and prospects are bright for an
increased attendance at all our
educational institutions.
The Virginia Military Institute
formally..opened today, with Ill
new cadets and about 120 old
cadets present. The new men
began reporting On September 1st
when about 60 were present, and
their number has steadily in
creased each day since. The Ia
stitute will be taxed to accommo-
date the applicants and il is
thought that some will have to be
turned away, SO great is the de.
mand for admission to thiG we'll
known military school. 1t il
thought that increased ac-
ccmmodations will be provided
for another year.
The public schools will open
next Tuesday, September 18th,
and already the principal, Mr..
Harrington Waddell, has been
compelled to decline promising
admission from pupils outside the
town, because by so doing many
children of the community would
be crowded out. From year to
year the country patronage Of the
Lexington public schools has in
creased until at present the num-
Der has to be limited.
Washington and Lee University
will open her doors Thursday of
next week, September 14th. AL
ready q few students have arrived
and the naturalization this year is
to be in advance of last
