CONFERENCE VISITORS.

OVEN IL THE weather man has
l. slipped a cog and let some good
weather break into conference week,
the great gathering OF church people,
beginning today, viii find itself at home
and doubtless quite willing to forego
the usual storm that marks the spring
|assemblage- Few more important con-
.fereuces have ever been held and none
has been looked forward to with more
general interest. both b. members and
inon-members Of the church.
The reasons for this are obvious.
Since the last conference, the hearing
.of the Smoot investigating committee
has developed some unknown facts of
|church history and emphasized other
facts which had been allowed to sub
Iside into comparative insignihcance.
THE storm which the investigation has
aroused abroad and at home is sure

authorities which is likely 10 be

local Importance.
That there is likely to be any radical
tchange in the attitude of the governing
5powers is hardly expected by the most
ssanguine believers in the possibility of
relief from present conditions; and yet
the most candid and conservative mem
bers Of the church, men Of prominence
but not of great authority, are united
in the belief that a great opportunity
10 forward the welfare Of the church
and disarm criticism offers itself in this
conference.
They agree that the Smoot case has
been disastrous i'm its effect on the
national attitude toward the church and
The state; they agree, further. that
Shoots ambition is primarily respon-
sible for the ills that have bcfalIen the
people of Utah; that Mormon. Jew and
.xGentile alike have suffered from the
Vsame cause, and that some remedy
ought to be disclosed this week.
Certainly. it would be a great bless
feE-to the whole people if the strife
and cortention and bitterness and loss
which hs We followed in the trail of
. Shoots election, could all be allaycd.

In considering the effect in France
OF the German emperor's Morocco
speech one must make allowances for
the German idea of a joke. Maybe Will

at the first opportunity.
The fact that the old Panama, canal

taken to indicate that another army

1t is difficult to understand why the

Logan and other municipalities have
money that the company might Just as
well have, too. This looks like gross
carelessness on the part of the COM
pany.
Among matters that may be regarGs-:
as definitely settled is the belief that
Mr. Smurthwaite of Ogden would make
a public protest against church officials
during conference. Present indications
are that Mr. Smurthwaite will have to
content himself with a seat in the visi-
tors gallery.
Really, it was absurd to expect the

New York, Jan. 21.-R. G. Dunn G.

Revelations Are Bind
ing When Received
by Head Of the
Church
AND ONLY THEN WHEN SUSTAIN.
ED BY THE PEOPLE AT ONE
OF THE REGULAR CHURCH
CONFERENCES - REVELATIONS
MIGHT COME TO ANY GOOD
MAN.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Under a Wig
orous examination concerning his be-
lief in divine revelations, Senator
Smoot said to-day that if he should
receive a revelation from God COM
handing him to disobey the law OF
the land he would leave this country
and go to some country where the
laws of the land were not in conflict
with the laws of God.
He was asked what he would do IL
the revelation commanded him to re-
main in this country and violate the
laws of the land, but he would not
suppose such a case, saying: "The
God worship is not such a God"
When asked if he believed the
church still received revelations he
replied that he believed "the church
can receive revelations and declared
that a revelation need not come only
to the president of the church but that
revelations may come to any good
man. However it was only those that
came to the president of the church
which are of binding force, and then
only when they have been sustained
by the people at one of the regular
church conferences.

PLENTY OF
WORK Iii BAY

Work in loading timber in Pensa-
cola harbor was exceedingly brisk dur
ing the past week, and according to
statements made by some of the steve
dOreS enough men could not have
been secured had there been one other
vessel taking cargo in the port.
The number of men employed in
this class of work during the past
week was greater than has been be-
fore known in nearly year, and as a
consequence the pay rolls of the va
Tious timber merchants and stevedoreS
last night were exceedingly large.
In fact many thousands of dollars
were paid out last night for this work,
and the men coming ashore late in
the afternoon quickly distributed it
about the city.
1t is anticipated that the bay work
during the next few weeks will be
exceedingly lively, and that large
number of men will be employed. For
the next three months, according to
parties engaged in the business who
are well posted on the number of YES
sells under charter, the timber and
lumber shipments will be larger than
has been known during the past two
years,

LEGISLATION
BADLY NEEDED
FOR GOVERNMENT OF PANAMA
CANAL zoNE-REPoRTS OF
SERIOUS TROUBLE RE-
cEVED.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Members OF
congress appear to have lost sight OF
the fact that, before adjournment
some bill must be passed providing for
the government of the canal zone. The
law under which the president now is
vested with authority of the strip will
lapse upon the expiration of the pres
ent session. Up to this time, abso
lutely no steps have been taken by the
House of Representatives on Inter
state Commerce to secure the adop
ton of a new law.
Everything connected with the ca
nal seems to be going in contrary
fashion. The most dismal reports of
unhappiness come up from Panama
Government employees are DESERVING
and returning home as fast as they
can get away. Sickness has broken out
and fever has appeared.
The commissioners are not in the
best frame of mind themselves.
Threatened with the loss Of their easy
positions, and torn by jealous dissen-
siOns, they are not to be envied. 1t is
alleged that bad blunders have been
made by those charged with the man
agement of small details in the com
mission. For instance, proposals were
asked for supplying something like
$4,000 gallons or varnish, instead of
5000 gallons, the latter being all that
was wanted. By another bit of care
lessness it was advertised that pro-
poSals would be opened on a future
date that fell on Sunday. These and
other evidences of poor headwork in
dictate that the president can work a
great reform by a thorough reorgani-
ZatiOn.-
