WHAT'S YOUR AGE, MADAME

our friend John Thorgeirson, Of This
tie, Utah. a valued correspondent. calls
our attention 10 custom which 10
soino people Is very obnoxious, that TO-
the requirement which ia made IN the
registration OF voters, IN the procuring
OF marriage licenses ana some other
legal formalitles, OF Il statement under

dies especially, are annoyed very often
when demand is made upon them OF
this kind lie disputes the right Of
the officers who make this r, 4pirement
TO do 80 under the law. We ink he IL.
exactly right
IN the registration Of voters the law
provides that the citizen hall be n
years Of age and upwards. The form
Of the oath TO be taken for registration
Is provided by statute. SO far as the
age Of the citizen is to he given the
requirement Is that ne or she shall be a
years OF age ana upwards There ls no
provision Of law requiring any oath or
affidavit as TO the precise age OF the
voter. Any applicant who objects to
stating his or her precise age may 'e-
ga,ly refuse to give IT, II ready 10 sign
the form OF oath required by law,
It Is the same IN regard to an APP
plcant for a marriage license The
man must be able TO swear that he Is

IL rs years Of age, in order to obtain IT,
with the consent Of the parents or
guardian, however, If the male Is over
16 ana the female over "a years of age
the license may be issued. But In neither
case IL there any absolute legal require
ment that the exact age OF either OF the
parties shall be declared, There IL no
harm In obtaining the age OF any per-
son who applies for marriage license,
nor Is there likely to he great and
general objection TO stating 1t. we
are only referring now to the require
ments OF the law.
Officers of the law should be careful
not to go beyond its bounds, nor at
tempt to enforce anything that It does
not require. At the same time, the OBJ
lection which some people feel to stat
ing their exact age is only a matter OF
personal taste or distaste, and ordinary
common sense people will not feel any
serious objection to making known how
long they have breathed the breath OF
mortal life.

FROM PORT ARTHUR.

How Port Arthur was forced to sur
render IS Interestingly described by
eye-wItnesses TO the last scenes of the
long struggle for thy mastery OF that
place. The capture Of 203-Meter hill,
which cost so much blood ON both
sides decided the contest, for from that
hnl the Japanese obtained ataplendld
view OF the town and the harbor, and
from there they could direct their MUIR
derous fire against the defenders.
The Japanese placed l1-inch mortars
in distant valleys hidden from the view
Of the Russian forts, on 2C5-Meter
hill we're placed observers who used an
instrument called hyposcope. THIS
is a telescope with two elbows In IT, At
the angles mirrors are arranged and
the observer safely sheltered In the
trench is able to get view Of distant
objects without exposing any part OF
his body to rifle fire. From the OBJ
servers station a telephone line ex-
tended to the distant guns, and the OBJ
server was able to report upon the re-
suit Of every shot although the gunner
never saw the object on which he was
nrlne. The deadly effect of the shells
from these mortars brought the sur
render OF Port Arthur
This shows to what perfection the

II Is FINISHED.

II Is not worth while TO waste words
or time In replying 10 person or
paper that persists IN twisting and
misquotIng an opponents language
and position. We therefore make this
final remark az TO the hubbub that has
been raised over the teaching Of re-
ligion classes In some OF the public
school buildings. The simplest mind
should easily perceive the difference
between teaching religion in the pub
lie schools, and holding classes OF any
kind IN schoolhouses after school has
closed The law forbids the former
but permits the latter. when a public
journal states that religion classes have
been held IN the public schools In this
state, It tells delibt rate falaehood,
The same when Il ammo mces thnt they
have been Withdrawn from the
schools" The withdrawal Of such
classes from schoolhol ses where they
had in some instances been held after
school hours, takes away all excuse
for objection, and also depriyes malig-
nant falslhers of any shade or color of
excuse for further untruths In rela-
ton to the natter Hence their anger
ana lmpotent rage, over the exposure
OF their perhdy and the sweeping
away of the pretense on which they
sought to base their preyersions OF
fact and argument FINS.

BRANCHES IN OLD MEXICO,

While on n visit recently 20 tho
Mormon" colonies in Old Mexico, we
were pleased TO meet our old friend
and brother, Elder Ammon NJ, Tenney,
who furnished us with list Of the
membership In the Mexican mission
outside OF the colonies in Chihuahua,
as drawn up by Alonzo l.. Taylor, the
secretary, down to March list, 1908.
From this II appears that from the
year 1889 until 1901 the mission work
was not carried on by any Of the Amer
lean Elders. But on June s, 1901, Ill
der Tenney was ordained High Priest
and set apart TO preside over that part
of the Mexican mission by Elder John
Henry Smith OF the Apostles assisted
by Presidents A. w. WINS and Henry
Eyring. IIo was aided In his labors
by Elder H. t. Hall, OF Cuernavaca
and some native elders, and was sue
oessful in gathering up about fifty
members Of the Church In various
places in Mexico.
In June, 1909. Elders Alonzo L. Tay-
lor James jacobson and Samuel G..
Lake, from the colonies IN Chihuahua,
arrived IN the city of Mexico and were
assigned to labor In the mission field,
They were followed by Elder Marceha
Foster, Of Salt Lake city who went
70 school ut Amecameca to learn the
Spanish language, and afterwards also
entered the field In January, 1903
Elder Joseph II. Parry, Jr., was added
20 the mission, who also studied Span
ish and was appointed to labor IN Te-
calico, After working faithfully In
that part Of the vineyard until Febru-
ary ., 1903 Elder Tenney was honor-
ably released from his presidency, and
Elder Hyrum S, Harris with James
Jacobson and AlonSo l., Taylor we're
appointed to take charge OF that part
OF the Mexican mission and IN the fol-
lowing March Elder Tenney returned
10 his home In Colonia Dublan.
According to the statistics furnished
by Elder Taylor there were in the

branch ST. ChImal branch co. lxtacalco

87 Trlgales branch %, total go

Elder Tenny is very sangune ne TO the
future success OF The work among the
natives of Old MoXico, and believes
that when they can be colonised at
suitable points, among themselves, and
trained I'm the arts of civilized indus
try, the predictions concerning the de.

We think we shall not be misunder-
stood II we say that theology knows
less than It did IN former times, Form-
erly it had an air suggestive Of omnis-
cience. 1t gave the impression that
1t knew all about God in His mysterl-
Gus constitution and in his plans and
purposes. We open book on theolo-
gy written over forty years ago and
find the Trinity dissected down TO min
ute details and all figured off as though
It were series Of equations, The doe
trnes Of regeneration, the atonement,
and all the mysteries Of God and man
are treated I'm the same way. From al
most any verse OF Scripture the most
tremendous differences will be drawn,
and then these differences will be
treated as though they were certain
knowledge. The simple sayings OF
Scripture, that were mostly uttered for
practical purposes, were turned by the
old theology to meanings and uses OF
which their authors never dreamedand
thus out Of them rose an imaginary
universe and an imaginary God, There
has been great reaction against this
kind OF unhealthy. The Bible has been
rescued from these theologans--or
rather this type Of theologian has
about passed away-and the book Is
now permitted to speak its natural and

Eighteen denominations are said to
