TWO OPINIONS,

I The Indianapolis Star offers the edi-
torial opinion that the people who have
been presenting petitions TO the Sen
ate TO cast Reed Smoot into outer
darkness are likely to be disappoint-
edr The Star finds that the only
charge against him of any weight Is
that his oath 10 support the Mormon
church includes a promise to avenge
on the Nation the death Of the prophet,
and that no sufficient proof OF this has
been presented.
Contemporaneously the Los Angeles
Times reiterates its criticism Of Sena-
tor Perkins of California, for leaning
so unmistakably TO the side of Senator
Smoot when he presented the petition
from the women of his State and for
his intimation that the case against
Reed Smoot was an attack upon re-
lgious freedom. The Times is very
positive on the point that the profess
sors OF the Mormon religion must
clear their skirts OF the well-estab-
lshed charge lying against them of
disloyalty to the Government of the
United States and OF violation OF the
marriage laws of the country" And It
holds that Senator Perkins would act
in more becoming manner-more in
harmony with the wishes of his con-
sttuents. IL In any future utterance he
should manifest disposition to vote
against Smoot, assuming that the in
vestlgation has established Smoots
disloyal obligation.
OF the two papers thus holding and
expressing opposing views. the Indian
apolis Star has scarcely had as good
an opportunity as the Los Angeles
Times TO study this question. A staff
correspondent of the Times spent some
weeks In Utah making A thorough and
unpreiudiced study OF the situation.
His letters eyinced grasp of Utah

main his statements went unchsl-
lenged. Writing i'm the light Of the

the views OF the Times are entitled to
especial recognition.

MARCH.

Edwin Carlile Lltsey in Everybody's Magazine
A half-wild creature cast from Winters
lap.
\ vagrant reveler in Natures courts;
With wind dishcveled hair she wildly
sports
with twig and bough, surcharged with
rising sap.
In soant and freely flowing raiment drest
Her slim brown arms upfung to greet
the rain,
She screams her challenge TO the silent
plain
And makes OF every day crazy jest,
Sho rushes f1srcely down the hillside steep
And dashes through forsaken forest
aisles
Where last years leaves lie deep in
somber piles,
And Saunt-lImbed trees their endless
vigils keep
And so for days her reckless reign ex-
tends.
Teascd and tormcnted Nature groans
outright;
Until. at last, the n1adcap thing takes
flight,
And gentle April comes to make amends

sary. of course, TO give that study such
attention as Will effect results, or else
1t were not worth while to teach 1t at
all. The result is that some other
study must be neglected. When Ger
man was introduced. the other studies,
specifically English and mathematics,
were not reduced in requirement or at
tcntion. And yet. il was found one
thing to say these should mott be re-
duced and quite another to actually
keep them up to the former standard.
A charge was made that the teaching
of English In the grades was very Inn
perfect A teacher replied that at is
impossible to teach grammar properly
In the time assigned for English to
get satisfactory results, there must he
time enough given to the study to fix
the correct principles in the pupils

ent, three forty-minute periods a week
are allowed for English grammar:
eighty minutes a week TO physics.
eighty to manual training, and two
hundred minutes a week to German
The teacher suggests. as a cure for
the necessary neglect OF English which
this schedule obliges, that the study of
grammar be continued through the
four years of the high-school course
That is. English being> forced out of

Actually. so they say, the general

that the bloodthirsty general staff has
been as busy with plans OF war and in

the general staffs OF the great armies

pected-by the antiGovernment crowd
to deplore. The people are supposed
to be horror stricken over n terrible

TOO MANY DIVORCES.

The proportion of divorces TO mar
riages In this State shows there is
something radically wrong. One di-
vorce out of every ten marriages dis
plays a woful social condition. The
fault does not lie with the courts which
grant these divorces 1t lies with the
people who engage I'm the sacred insti-
tuition OF marriage. But one conclus-
ion can be drawn from the above
showing. and that Is, that young peo-
pie enter into the welded state without
due preparation for and consideration
