Government Paying Rent.

He stated that the property was
worth S6000000 when il was sold. and
Is worth SO, 000. 900 now. He stated that
more than $4,000 900 had already been
paid to the National City bank for
rent. He further stated that not a dol
lar had been paid for the property by
the National City bank. He declared
that there ought to be an investigation
by congress of the whole affair
Secretary Taylor Of the treasury de-
partment replied to the charges. In
the first place, he said, no deed ever
had been executed, therefore it could
not be deposited anywhere and could
not be recorded. The reason the deed
had not been executed was because the
property was not fully paid for, and I'M
der the contract the National City bank
was not compelled to make final pay
ment and get the deed until the new
customs house was completed.
In reply TO the charge that the Ma
tiOnal City bank had not paid a dollar
for the property. he said the full
amount had been actually transferred
to the credit of the government at the
sub-treasury in New York, making a
payment as complete as though the
actual currency had been paid over.
Mr.. Taylor stated that the transaction
connected with the sale of the customs
house property was as clean and intel
1igent a transaction as any ever made
by q public officer
The resolution of Mr.. Sulzer provides
that the attorney general shall furnish
information about the deed. The COM
mfttee agreed to make a favorable re-
port on Mr.. Suffers resolution after it
shall have been amended so that the
secretary of the treasury is the official
of whom information concerning the
customs house sale shall be sought

AT UNITARIAN CHURCH.
Rev. Eddy on "Mcasuring God by
Human Yardsticks."

Rev, Frank Fay Eddy preached In the
Unitarian church yesterday, on Meas
uring God by Human Yardsticks." He
said in part.
Taking Christian traditions as an
example, 80 long as we devoutly be-
leNe we have an actual history OF how
God made the world OF His dealings
with the first pair in the garden OF
Eden, Of His relations TO the patriarchs
and prophets and the later sending OF
Jesus Christ as a Savior, as long, | say,
as we can devOutly believe all this we
seem 10 have a very good yardstick
with which TO measure God and His
activities. But Christian tradition does
not satisfy the modern questioner This
is yardstick that has been dscredited
by many as inadequate and incorrect.
Another eXpedient is TO measure God
by symbols or by substituting some
thing known and understandable for
the infinite and incomprehensihle. Thus
most pOlytheisms have monuthelstiC
thought behind them. The various del
ties represent phases Of the one all
inclusive one. ! believe the development
OF the doctrine Of the divinity of Christ
is due to this very tendency, as Is the
worship OF the Virgin Mary and the
Saints In the Roman and Greek Catho-
lie churches
"The creeds are stlll other yardstlcks
being explanations of the designs OF
God toward men They are whitfield
out OF the wool OF tradition, but usually
are fourished chiefly by the generation
that produces them.
I'VE may add TO the above the yard
stick of definition. We attempt to
measure God by telling what We think
He is or Is not. For instance, we glibly
say He Is the one Supreme Being, self
existent and eternal; orthat He is omnis-

URGES A SQUARE DEAL.
Prof. Meakln In Philadelphia Speaks
OF the Enormous"

The Philadelphia Enquirer under
date Of Feb. 10, published the follow
ing:
\ strong plea for Utah and tolera-
ton OF the Mormon" Church was
made by Prof. John r. Meakln, OF Salt
Lake City, In an address on Utah and
the Mormons" at 1925 Columbia
avenue last evening
Urging Square dear for the men
who rescued the Jordan river country
from the wilderness and developed its
possibilities, he said that the mist Of
Misunderstanding existing In the minds
OF fasteners regarding the members
of the Mormon" Church has been re-
sponsible for much unjust abuse and
calumny towards those men and wo-
men.
This arises through ignorance and
credulity, largely on account OF mis-
representations concerning polygamy.
Plural marriages form but small
portion OF the Mormon faith and were
only conceded TO a selected few deem
ed worthy Of assuming the enormous
responsibility
Plural marriages carry with Them
far more responsibility than single
ones, the husband, besides comforting
the dignity Of wlfehood upon each OF
his spouses. must provide a home and
its comforts for her and their children.
Race suicide had no place in the
plural marriage as In our modern So
ciety. Now that the fountain of the
evil has been removed by legislative
enactment, why let It stand In the
way?
whatever merits the Smith visions
may or may not have had, they have
built up system which has with
stood abuse and calumny, and It's fol-
lowers have opened up great and I'M
portant state. which Is young and
