poses, what a safety valve it would
form today against the dangers of cen
tralization in the East with which we
are coming face to face. There is
little use, however, in theorizing
upon what might have been. 1t is
worth while, though, to pay some at
tention to the remaining half billion
acres of the public domain and to put
stop to the present practice of
squandering this national resource,
and holding it until it is wanted for
actual settlement, if not now, ten or
twenty or thirty years, may be.
The strong sentiment which is i'm
patient of delay in the governments
disposals of its lands and desires to
see it put into private hands as rap
idly as possible, comes mostly from
an interested class which is pecuni-
arily benefited by this policy.
If the plans which the government
is now vigorously pushing, including
the irrigation of the seventy odd mil
lion acres of lands susceptible of that

from Litchheld, ILL.,, to assume the

in this city. 1t is expected that ne

six months, will preach his farewell
sermon in the evening.
The church has greatly appreciated
Mr.. Governs services and would
gladly have retained him as perma-
nent pastor, but he feels it to be his
duty to resume his travels for the
Bible Society that he has represented
for the past seven years.
Concerning the new pastor, one OF
the Litchfeld, ILL.,, papers speaks as
follows:
"Rev. Moons service during the
past year has been one that any min

The Salt Lake Tribune of last Fri
day, contains the following instance
to the manner in which the Mormon
church is revivine polygamous teach
ings under the regime of polygamous
presidents and apostles:
els the righteousness of polygamy
still taught by the Latter-day
Ssints?''
Above is a question frequently
asked. An answer will be found in
the following story.
In the Third ward meeting house
on Sunday morning last (April 16,
19O5) dozen or mora girls belong
ing to class were gathered about
their teacher and discussing the les
son of the morning. Some remark
of the teacher or question of a pupil
brought up the subject of polygamy,
when the teacher said, in substance,
to the girls:
ADVOCATES POLYGAMY.
"When the subject of polygamy is
brought up, YOU MUST STAND UP
FOR 1T. The laws of our land will
not permit of its being practiced now,
but it was REVEALED TO JOSEPH
SMITH BY GOD, and YOU MUST
NOT OPPOSE 1T when the subject is
brought up. POLYGAMY is A
BEAUTIFUL THING WHEN 1T is
PROPERLY PRACTlCED, but SO few
are able to live it properly. Why, l
have known instances where the poly
gamous wife was second mother to
the children of the other wife, and if
it happened that the first wife had
no children, she could be mother to
the children of the second wife,
PERTINENT QUESTION.
''But why was the revelation re-
: garding polygamy given?" was
asked by one of the girls who thought
there should be some good reason for
such a revelation.
The teacher replied that she could
not tell that is, she did not recall
the reasons given, but CITED HER
" PUPILS TO THE BOOK OF DOC
TRINE AND COVENANTS, SAYING
1T WAS ALL EXPLAINED THERE.
GIRLS ARE INDIGNANT.
~ The remarks of the teacher caused
- - considerable discussion among the
IN girls, especially after the class was
ry dismissed, and several of them were
er heard to say that they did not believe
az in polygamy and would not stand up
! for it if they had the opportunity.
ct "If l we're married and my hus-
er band went into polygamy | wouldn't
or live with him two minutes, one OF
Se them was heard to say; and she is
10 good Mormon girl, too.
"Well. wouldn't say much about
be it one way or the other" was the re
up mark of another member Of The
