AN OLD DEVICE.

There appears to be a determination
on the part OF some papers In this city,
to watch for an opportunity Of mis-
quoting any remarks that may be made
I'm public by the President OF the Church
of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints.
and TO peryert the tenor Of his utter
ances. On Sunday evening President
Joseph r. Smith attended a Sunday
school convention In ogden city and
addressed the congregation on the sub
feet OF "The Character Of the Sunday
School Teacher I'm the course OF
his remarks he showed that the virtues
which should characterize a Sunday
school teacher should also be exhibited
in the lie and character and teachings
Of the leaders Of the Church.
Incidentally he testified that the
Church Of Jesus Christ OF Latter-day
Saints had been led by the Lord from
the beginning, that II IS His work, and
not the work OF man except as men
may be chosen as Instruments IN the
hands Of the Lord for It's accomplish
mcnt. These remarks were wrested
out OF their plain meaning and intent
in reports printed IN Salt Lake pa
pers, and words were placed in his
mouth which he did not speak, and
startling headlines were printed to
make sensation and deceive the pub
llc
In order to learn what impression
was made by President Smiths re-
marks upon others than members Of
tho Church, from whom we learn that
some things attributed to him were not
mentioned By him at all and that
which he did say has been wrongly
construed, we looked at the report Of
the meeting published In the ogden
STANDARD Of Monday evening, and here
Is what appeared in that nom" Mormon
newspaper From this our readers will
gain a true idea OF the purport OF the
speakers address, and Il should be suf-
fciont TO convince those who desire the
truth, and do not want to be led astray
by unprnoipled enemies OF the Church
and It's President, that, as usual, his
remarks have been garbled and he has
been misquoted by the papers referred

President Smith was the last sneak

JULES VERNE.
Boston Transcript.

And Verne is dead We picked up the
"Twenty Thousand Leagues the other
day, and II wasn't the same as In our
youth The daily press has crept In
with It's wireless and It's submarines,
and youth too has gone from u.s. We
don't know just how much the children
read jules Verne today, but one OF the
best wishes we can make for them Is
that they may deyour those romanoos
OF happenings under the sea and above
the earth and Off IN space with an avid
ity equal 10 our own In those fine old
days when we doubled up In a big chair
and forgot our meals because we had
just obtained another Jules Verne" II

IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

The dispatches are telling about the
volume OF Immigration that is now
pouring into this country so early In
the season This Is q sure sign Of de-
preston abroad. The emigrants flee
from impending distress to more genial
conditions, rs do the migrating birds
from the rigors OF winter to the regions
where zephyrs originate,
Official figures for January show that
the total immigration for the month
was 56,32s, az against 2S,62i, In 1904 81
SOL In 1908 s3,229 In 1902, 1927 in 1901
and 1875 in 1900. The great rise in the
tide is chiefly caused by the Increase
OF immigrants from Russia and Aus
trial. Hungary Italy. too, has contrib
uted larger quota. The figures for the
month Of January for four years are:
1902. 1908. 1904. 1906
Italy .,,............5,96l $40 6,3i0 1854
Austria Hungary ..I77S 9,4O2 1859 1888
Russia $50 SIN 7,l16 1918
The Increase from the Russian empire
is accounted for by the woes that have
befallen that country. Thousands are
fleeing from the rule Of the Gear, In
spite OF all vigilance and all measures
to prevent the exodus. Austria-TIua-
gary too, is the center OF storms, and
the citizens naturally are looking for
a peaceful harbor Of refuge.

81. Paul Globe.

Verne was a good craftsman, but he
was not a genius IN any sense. He did
not create characters; he obviously
knew nothing of the manifestations OF
human passion. He created fictitious
conditions with remarkable ingenuity,
he even thrilled but his thrills were
Of the mind amazed or astonished
rather than evidences Of feelings
touched. It was not that he wanted
the capacity TO write things that COM
manded the attention of men and
women bu that he could not reach TO
the great human motif.

both here and elsewhere, was that

this place, husband and wife. The
nuptials were celebrated on | s
Wednesday afternoon at three O'Clock
The Britton home on Main street
was tastefully decorated and every de-
tail of the affair was arranged with ex-
quisite harmony and taste The bride,
who is of surprising beauty of the bru-
nette tyde, was made even more at
tracive than usual in going away gown
of the Alice Roosevelt blue silk. She
carried boquet of brides roses, and
was attended by her sister, Miss Fran
ces Britton, attred in white gown OF
Paris muslin, carrying pink LaFrance
roses. The bride descended the stair
way on her fathers arm to the large
hallway where she was met by the
groom and the best man, Mr.. VIM.

The officiating clergyman was the
Rev. Malborne W. Graham, who used

RUSSIAN FLEET
ANNIHILATED
Nineteen Ships Either Capt
ured Or Sunk BY the
Victorious Enemy.

Latest advices confirm the magni-
tude of the disaster suffered by the
Russian fleet, and point to the fact
that Russia's hopes, so far as this war
is concerned, now lie in whatever may
be accomplished by the army in Man
churia. An official report received
from Toxic by the japanese legation
at Washington Mon ay evening says
that the Russian looses definitely
known include two battleships. coast
defense ship, five cruisers, two special
ships and three destroyers sunk, and
two battleships, two coast defense
ships, one destroyer and one special
ser vice ship captured, while over 3, 600
prisoners have been taken, Including

nese, it would seem, are still pursuing
the Russians, and it may be some time
before the final result is known.
There is nothing to indicate clearly
the extent of the Japanese looses, and
it is suggested from once source that
the Toxic Government is waiting to
hear from Admiral Roiesvensky by
way of Yladivostok before announcing
to what extent its fleet has suffered
