New Methods.

The old methods of fitting glasses
are fast becoming obsolete. and only
thoes opticians who have not studied
the modern methods stick to the old
way Every year brings improve
ments in testing, in fitting and in
making. We believe that the way
followed by DR., Kornblum, who has
his Office now at Frank Binders, IS
the right way, because he has dill
gently studied the science OF optics.
He examines your eyes carefully and
will be glad to show and prove his
efficiency.

Time to Speak Out.
He introduced James H. Movie az
temporary chairman. Judge Movie de-
clared the time had come "to call a
spade spade" He reviewed the no.
litical history of Utah since statehood.
He had been member of the old Peo-
pies party. When the division came
on party lines, an overwhelming ma
pority of the MOrmOns were Democrats.
The church leaders decided it would ha
better not to have all the Mormons re-
main in the Democratic party. and had
asked all those who did not have set
tied convictions to go into the Repub-
lican party at that time. They did so.
and still the Democrats were in a large
majority.
Some Of the church leaders were Re-
publicans- Most of those who were
Democrats did not take a conspicuous
part in politics, but there were num-
bers of Republicans high in the church,
who were active. Members of the
church accustomed to look to them for
spiritual counsel naturally were influ-
enced politically. and great inroads
were made on the Democratic party.

Utah and her people, and more trouble
would ensue unless this religious war

the Democratic party in Utah had al
ways cOntended-the separation OF

| In the afternoon Judge King in TAX

spoke along the same lines. He de-
clared that the Wbisperers who as
stunned to speak in the name of the
church must be suppressed. He de-
clared that the Republican party in
Utah had always sought to drag the
church into politics. and to use the
name of the church in order to secure
votes. He criticised the Kearns rule
