The romantic match which Miss Ber-
tina Krupp the sole proprletress OF the
world-renowned iron and steel works
at Essen. is about to contract with the
young diplomat, Herr Won Bohlen-Hal-
bach, Is exciting unusual interest In
Germany. where the career OF the
young heress has been followed with
sympathetic attention.
1t has long been known that Miss
Krupp is the most desirable matrlmo-
NAL prize in Europe. She is sole pro-
prietress of the Krupp works and, In
deed. Of the town OF Essen with It's
20, 600 inhabitants.
The krupp works employ upward of
40, 900 men and contain about 1900 steam
engines, 1900 furnaces, 500 steam cranes
200 steam hammers and several dozen
Bessemer converters. Apart from the
bewildering maze Of iron and steel
works at Essen, Miss Bertha Krupp
owns 5i7 iron mines, situated In differ
ent countries three coal mines and nu-
merous quarries. The factories and the
whole town of Essen are lighted by gas
and electricity works belonging TO the

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE,

All the people OF Utah openly OF
church Is the largest factor In the AZ
fairs of this State. More than any
thing else 1T directs the lives OF ma
jority OF the people; more than any
thing else 1t influences the politics of the
State; more than all things else put
together It Is responsible for the pow
erty or the comfort of majority
OF the toilers. and more than any
thing else It affects the business of the
mass of the people. That Is why the
subject Is entitled to more comment
and consideration and receives more
than all other matters of public dis
cussion. Within the confines OF this
commonwealth it is the paramount and
all-abSorbing issue.
These being indisputable propositions.
why should not the line OF cleavage
run between those who are for the
church and certain of Its questionable
methods and those who are not for
the improper methods of the church7
1t is the only natural line of division.
So long as a community shall be sepa-
rated into groups, that separation
will inevitably proceed along the line
of the least resistance; and, therefore.
naturally and certainly. the division
will occur as IL is occurring In this
State of Utah.
1t is useless for the advocates Of. and
Ill ,l,l
rule here to contend against such
separation or to argue that 1t is In
furious to the community life. Right
eous remedy is not in opposing the
division while existing conditions con-
tinue, but in changing that primary
condition TO make such separation un-
necessary. Let the Mormon church
assume Its proper place in civic affairs
and the cause for the division Will be
removed, and all the peculiar contcn-
ton which is based thereon will be
brought to an end
IT Is In the foundation Of the Mormon
church teaching: Those who are not
for us are against US" There need

pie Of Utah take the church at its
word, and IL the self-respecting ee-
ment OF the citizenship here shall re-
fuse 10 be for the Mormon church and
its offenses against law The only
genuine political issues in Utah and
the only genuine social questions, un-
III they shall be settled, and settled
right, are whether the Mormon church
hierarchy has n divine appointment to
-ule this land and its people In secular
affairs, To use once more the founda-
Ion tenet of Mormon teaching: Those
who are for the church, and the
pretended divine right of its leaders TO
'ule humanity In all things, will give
heir support directly to the church or
% some one Of its many subjugated
allies; and those who are against"

church leaders Will join in that effec-

CONDITIONS SATISFACTORY.

stockyards of Chicago, and his confer
ence with the packers. found the gen
eral conditions good and he Is
convinced that there exists a sincere

WHY THE SECRECY?

1t seems that the reason why there
was an attempt 10 keep secret the III
ing of suit TO cancel an alleged fraud
ulent coal land entry. was because
there was a request from some U. s,
officials that the fact of the suit
being brought should be kept quiet.
That is bad beginning for the new
reason why there should be an attempt
at secrecy with regard to a matter
that is really public in its nature.
When a suit Is filed In a court of rec
ord II is in fact public, What Is the
interest that would cause the public
We can understand why the persons
against whom the suit is brought
should desire TO avoid the public op-
probrunl necessarily ensuing upon the
fling OF such q suit; but the Govern
nent and its officials should have no
motive for hushing the matter up.
What is the trouble? Do the defend
ants know too much, so that somebody
Is afraid they will make a roar? Is It
through fear OF consequences to some
one that secrecy is sought, in order TO
shield any person who is in the same
line of fraud as that charged upon the
defendants?
There have not been lacking rumors
that connect names In present high Of
fetal position with design and attempts
upon the public lands, coal and asphal-
tum. But there Is no real reason why
they should be protected by secrecy,

1t is remarkable how rapidly the
new city Is rising upon the ruins OF
the old. Last week one vast expanse
of ghastly and tangled ruins met the
eye on all sides in the burned district
But behold the transformation one
short week has effected. The dismal
expanse is already dotted with low
wooden and corrugated iron tenements
for trade, all bright. new and smiling.
They are even now imparting 10 the
desolate scenes a cheerful air. At the
rate at which they arc going up the
burned area Will be pretty we'll buried

WOMEN AS HEALTH OFFICERS

The city OF Birmingham, Eng, has
augmented its sanitary police force by
the appointment OF twenty women
health officers. The work of these
women during the hot summer months
has been very effective Their labors
are confined almost entirely to the
poorer sections of the great manufac-
turing city, and their ministrationS, il
is said. have saved many lives.
Unquestionab bly, women are better
qualified than men to look out for tn >
needs OF the children. 1t seems GER
tain that the Birmingham plan OF send
Ing women rather than policemen IN
uniforms to the districts where the
work is most arduous is n wise step
in advance, Too great care to pre-
serve the public health cannot be eX-
erclsed. and II one part of q munich
pality is affected the other sections
cannot escape. Any innovation. how
ever radical is worth trying II It gives
hopes of accomplishing good results.

While still a little child she was taught

mother said to her: What do you

WORTHLESS WORDS.
payers

Four men, all Mormons or of Mormon
antecedents. were sitting in railway
train few days ago and. needless to
remark. were discussing the great
question in Utah Call them A, B, C
and D. Mr.. a insisted that the church
leaders having said that they eXerted
no influence in politics, 1t was rank
folly to accuse them of doing what
they so strcnuously denied. G thought
this was a good argument But e
leaned over TO D, took his watch from
his vest and his bill book from his
coat pocket. all the time protesting
with volubllity: II am not taking your
watch nor your purse and II you hale
me before a court and charge me with
men as witnesses to prove that l said
/ was not doing 1t. and would not do it.
According to their argument they must
testify before the court that I did not
do it-for / am to be judged by what
1 say for myself and not by what
do 10 others"
That incident makes good comment
upon a recent sermon delivered in the
big Tabernacle In Salt Lake City. In
a food of words the distinguished
speaker OF the apostolate ayowed that
the church had not exercised, did not
now exercise, and would not attempt
to exercise any influence In politics
upon the minds of it's adherents And
on that same day Senator Smoot" Ito

ferred upon the so-called member of
the United States Senate by a Mormon
print) ordained a bishop. And by that
very act confirmed that bishop and all
who shall follow him as creatures OF
Apostle Smoot" in politics-just a. the
king of the Mormon community had
ordained Senator Smoot' himself at
a preceding time
The incident of the railway train Is
also o comment upon the method
which has been pursued for years in
the denial OF new plural marriages; for
II is now known throughout all Nor
mondom and to all the reading world
that. while the Mormon press and
preachers were protesting with multi
Piled asseveration that no case OF
plural marriage had occurred In the
church since the manifesto, several
apostles and innumerable minor eccles-
lasts had taken unto themselves addi-
tional wives within the prohibited pc
riod.
Furthermore. the incident Of the rail-
way train is a telling comment upon
those belated protestations OF patriot
ism which Apostle Snioot and many Of
his collea CUES now find It convenient to
utter While all the time declaimins In
words OF their devotion to the cause OF
the country and their friendliness to
the old soldier, il rs we'll known that in
practice they disdain all allegiance 10
