leaders would have mankind believe.
The appeal Of the News to liberality OF
sentiment is like the appeal OF The
iackal to courage-it invokes the eXer-
else of that quality which 1t does not
possess.
The News concluded with a para
graph in which occurs this sentence:
Human sagacity cannot advance H.
1.-THE Mormon church, nor can human
opposition stay Its progress" There Is
no human sagaclty within the church
that is advancing or retarding Its pro-
gress-there Is ignorance which Is de-
stroying 1t. II the Deseret News pre-
sumes by this sentence to convey the
idea that tho Mormon church is pro-
crossing in power and In the high con-
sideration OF mankind let It be un1e-
ceIyed: for the fact exists that the Nor
mon church is poorer In numbers. poor
er in repute, poorer in all things except
arrogance and the wealth which II has
stolen from It's people, than II was ten
years ago.

A GREAT FIGHT IN ENGLAND.

The EnglIshwomen's clamor for the
suffrage Is becoming so loud that II is
being heard throughout the world.
Those women who have tho leader
ship In the movement arc not only bold,
they are turbulent and insistent. They
make disturbance at public meetings.
and are sent TO Jail for II: they throng
the visitors gallery of Parliament, and
make such denominations that they are
removed by the police. They besiege
the Premier in force and he has to
admit to a deputation that he is In
favor OF granting their demands. One
woman is resisting the payment OF her
income tax on the plea that IL Ia unjust
and In defiance OF the British constitu-
ton to tax one who Is not represented
I'm Parliament, which is the old liberty
cry OF mo taxation without repre-
sentation."
In reply, the opponents recite the
amelioration of women's condition un-
der the law. by recent legislation: wom-
en- may now have their separate prop
erty; the husband cannot rob the wife
Of her earnings; she has a right Of sep
aration from q brutal and murderous
husband. But the reply Ia that this
has nothing TO do with the main ques-
ton, the right OF women TO vote. 1t Is
pointed out that the most ignorant
venal lout may vote il he Is man, and
no question is raised OF his capacity.
L, - he
points upon which his ballot may bear,
but the most Intelligent. able woman is
denied the suffrage. simply because she
is a woman. And the unfairness of all
this, nay, even Its positive peril to the
kingdom. Is pointed out.
The straits to which the vigorous
campaign waged by the women of Eng
land in behalf OF their claim to the
suffrage has brought their oppo-
nents, is indicated by the expedients
suggested. One OF the most grotesque
is that put forward by Mr.. George ia
cob Holyoake, the famous radical au-
thor, recently dead. His Idea Is called
a compromise measure. designed to ad-
NIT a limited number Of women to the
franchise, 30 that they can acquire ex-
perience In political affairs" To ad-
nit one woman in hundred to vote is
his suggestion, ten in the thousand,
Needless to say. this Is secuted. both
as theoretical and as practical prop
osition. theoretically IT comedies the
right, but practically it applies 1t In
sucb limited degree as to be an eX-
asperation instead Of a concession.
Theoretically 1t assumes that the whole
thousand are entitled to vote. but
practically It permits only ten to vote.
The pretense is that thus the women
will be given experience and education
In civil affairs. But they claim that
they are already fully as we'll educated
In civil affairs as their average men.

ALIENS CHURCH"
NEAR QU|DNESSET
PREY TO FLAMES

The Quidnesset Baptist church, known
ais Elder Aliens church." between Quid-
nesset Neck and Davisville. about three
OF the village OF Sand HILL valued at
about ss0co was destroyed by fire yester-
day afternoon.
The cause Is believed TO have been a de-
fective chimney and the property was IN
sIured for about s65o0.
Henry Berry, who resides near the
church, first discovered the flames around
1.-THE chimney near the basement, about
O'Clock. Unable TO procure an extension
ladder. he broke I'm a window and alone
fought the fire until the arrival OF Charles
Cottrell. who had charge of the church,
few minutes later.
The alarm was given in East Greenwich
by the ringing OF the town bell by Joseph
II. German, notice OF the fire having
been given by passing automobilists, and
many people went TO the scene.
As there were no facilities for effective
fire fighting the destruction of the church
was inevitable from the first, and the
neighbors who had been summoned by
telephone and messenger, directed theli
efforts to saving the contents OF the build
ing
from the pump on tho grange grounds.
This supply was increased by the rain,
without which II IL doubtful II either thu
hall. across the road. or the long line OF
sheds surrounding two sides of the church
lot, could have been saved.
There was a pump in the church, but
access to II was cut off by the fire, as the
chimney from which the fire caught
stood in the extreme rear and thus allow
ed the fire to gain considerable headway
before ii was discovered
From the basement the piano, organ.
library books and settees were removed,
as were the pulpit furniture and new
memorial communion table presented rca
Gently by Thomas G. Mathewson in MEM
ory of his son. Much OF the furniture was;
taken into the hall of the Davisville
Grange.
The fire spread TO this hail, but ladders
were finally secured and a bucket brigade
extingIhshed IT.
The only fire in the building during the
day was in a stove used % warm the
water for the baptsmal service in the
morning.
The church was erected in 1912, and was
practically rebuilt In 1882 Since then
other improvements. including a steel
ceiling have been made
The first pastor was Rev. Wanton Allen
and for many years it's pulpit was occu-
pied by Rev. t. F. Bartlett, who was sue
ceeded by Rev. c. A. Burgess, now of this
city. The present pastor, Rev. William III.
Nobbs, has been there but a short time.
