Said About SaIton Sea

If the Colorado river continues to flow into the Salton sink of Lower California it will bring into exis- tence an American dead sea that will be as large as Lake Ontario. according to Louis c. Hill, super vising engineer of the United States reclamation service for Arizona and Southern California, says the Wash ington Post. MT. Hill is here to report on his investigations of the overflow.
 Ages ago this sink contained sea similar to the dead sea of Palestine, which was finally evaporated. How long it has remained a dry waste no one knows. Not long ago saw salt being mined from what is now the bed of the new lake. Nearly 200 feet above is the shore of the ancient sea.
 For a time the flow was stopped, but it began again, and now it threatens 100. 900 acres of irrigated land, on which seven and eight crops of alfalfa may be grown every year. and the homes of 12,000 people distributed among many towns. It is destroying the possi- bilities of that land that would blossom as the rose by irrigation methods. As the water has torn down into the sink, which is 200 ,t below the level of the sea. it has made an ever deepening ravine until at present the water falls from height of eighty feet and gives promise of creating a second Mag ara."

Dangers of Cold and How to Avoid Them
 More fatalities have their orgin in or result from a cold than from any other cause. This fact alone should make people more careful as there is no danger whatever from a cold when it is properly treated in the beginning. For many years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been recognized as the most prompt and effectual medicine in use for this disease. It acts on natures plan, loosens the cough, relieves the lungs, opens the secre- tions and aids nature ion restoring the system to a healthy condition. Sold by all dealers.

A long time ago the people had to go to Bethleham to pay their tax es. The town was so crowded that Mary and Joseph could not find a place to sleep so they had to sleep in a stable in a manager. That night a little baby was born. The shepherds were watching their sheep and he sky got bright. The shep- herds were frightened. an angle came and told them not to be frightened that Jesus was born. They gave him presents.

FLAGSTAFF ABROAD
The Chicago Tribune tells about Flag staff, It's Glorious Sunshine. and
 Delightful Summer Climate

up illustrated of Flagstaff, Prescott and Phoenix. The writer has the following to say regarding Flag staff:
 Flagstaff is the county seat of Coconino County, and is located at the foot of the San Francisco Mountains; elevation seven thous- and feet above sea level, in the midst of splendid pine forest. Its summer and autumn climate is unsurpassed, being much the same as that of the Colorado Springs region. The glorious sun shine, the dry, bracing air, and the cool, delightful temperature during these seasons and in them selves sufficient to make the town a famous resort; and yet these are the least of its attractions.
 "It sounds large to say it, and yet it is probably the sober truth, that within the confines of the United States there is not another town or city the center of a region so rich in scenic and scientific in- terest as is the town of Flagstaff.
 "The splendid mountains which tower just above the town are themselves worth travelling many miles to see, and from their sum- mits (easily visited in a days trip from the town) a panorama is spread out to the eye which is unequaled in extent and beauty. From this vantage point, by the aid of a glass, one looks into five or six different states and territo- ries and over distances which seem incredible.
 "0ne of the most attractive points in the neighborhood is Sun set Crater and the surrounding cinder and lava beds. It is inn possible to give in words an idea of the beauty and weirdness of the view of the Painted Desert as seen from the crater.
 "The whole region abounds in archaeological interest. Walnut Canyon with its aerie-like Cliff Dwellings perched here and there along its terraced walls, is but nine miles away, while other Cliff and Cave Dwellings are found fur ther to the north.
 "The sportsman, too, finds in Oak Creek Canyon, that most beautiful spot in all the southwest, a veritable anglers paradise; rab- bits, squirrels, duck, and other small game abound; deer in season are found in large numbers; and if the ambitious hunter is Hooking for bear," he may have his desires satisfied here, with mountain lion or "bob cat" thrown in for good measure.
 "And this is saying nothing at all of the Ice Caves, of the Fisher Tanks cliffs, of Turkey Tanks can yon, Crater Lake, and the longer trips which are easily made from Flagstaff as base, such as to the Natural Bridge of Tonto Basin, the Verde Valley with Montezuma Well and Montezuma Castle, the wondrously beautiful Red Rock country, the Moqui (Hopi) Indian villages in the heart of the Painted Desert, with the Snake Dance, wierdest of all religious ceremo- nies; the marvel of marvels, the Grand Canyon of Arizona; Cata- ract Canyon with the Supai h. dians; the Navajo reservation with its picturesque nomadic life, and

Priests, Old and New.

Away back in the days before the coming of
Christ the Priests used to sacrifice animals affairs
erected for the purpose. There much pomp,
ceremony, mysticism and mummery surrounding the
performance. The assembled people, with awe and
superstition accepted the DEGREES of the oracles and
paid the expenses of the rigamarole and the exac-
tons of the Priests without complaining. The sac
rices were made to appease the wrath of the gods
and bring prosperity and happiness to the people
The Priests were high livers and reckless and
gradually became and careless, AFRO
giant and contemptuous, until finally the joke of
the whole thing became grotesque that they were
appealing to the gods in behalf of the people, lest
they should betray themselves by laughing and
the people should repudiate them and their vocation
be gone.

Jack mormon.

A JackM Mormon is who has no convictions
and consequently no courage He lives among the
Mormons and understands them. He sustains them
in their evil practices and makes excuses for them
in public. In nearly every instance he denounces
them bitterly in private conversation with Gentes,
if he thinks the Mormons will not hear of it. He
hopes for political favors at their hands. He is
engaged in business and fears he will lose a few
dollars If he expresses himself. He is equally craven
and sycophantic with Genti1es and Mormons, and is
condemned by both. The carpet-bagger in the South
in reconstruction days is his counterpart but
was quite such despcable thing as Jack Mormon.

Stop Polygamous Living.

During the session of Congress which meets next
month, amendment to the Federal Constitution
will be urged, placing the power in the Government
to punish those living in the polygamous relation.
Senator Burrows of Michigan and Congressman c.
B. Lands of Indiana will have charge of the pro-
posed legislation in their respective houses
There is nothing the Mormon Hierarchy breads
more than this. They have objection to the most
stringent legislation against polygamy, and every
Mormon and Jack Mormon will be insistently de-
handing that polygamy be stopped. The Jack-Mor-
mons will dilate on the horrors of poygamy in
most touching and beautiful words, and proclaim
often and loudly that will go farther than
they to eradicate the evil
The Mormons will shrug their shoulders say
polygamy is dying out if left alone it will soon be
thing of the past that the church longer encour-
ages it. but-as further evidence of their loyalty
and devotion to the Government-they will nterpose
objection if the Congress desires to transfer the
power to deal with polygamy from the State to the
Federal authorities. In fact, convincing proof
of their entire sincerity and their earnest wish to
settle all controversy that it cannot be resurrect
ed they will agree to the constitutional amendment
against polygamy.
Apostle Senator Reed Smoot in interviews and
as Senator and Apostle will authoritative1y say:
1--WE are determined that there shall be no mis-
taking our attitude. If polygamy is not ended, if
considerable portion of the American people even
think it is not thing of the past let enact this
legislation and forever stop this discussion. We
are the most law-abiding of all people We want
peace"
Every Mormon apologist in the Senate and out of
it. everywhere, will take up the refrain of Apostle
Senator Smoot.
1t will be very different, however, when it is
to give the Government jurisdiction over
polygamous living. law against polygamy does
not reach the Mormon. 1t is impossible to convict
a Mormon of this crime; you could not in any
State Territory in the Union Neither you
convict them of bigamy. Gentiles are found guilty
in the different states quite frequently, and pun

cussion followed and the people finally in primary

qualities have the same effect the power which
dominates as the appeals of the Priests to the gods
When the leaders get together, and away from
the people, they ask anxiously, Who will be chosen
by the Mormon Hierarchy" When the answer is
made in State convention, the leaders attempt to
convince the people that they, and not the Hierarchy

ished for bigamy. A Mormon could not be con-
victed for this offense in any of them.
TO prove polygamy second marriage must be
established Plural marriages among the Mormons
are performed by high officials of that organization
in secret places and no record is kept of the plural
marriages In the case of Gentle you have the
marriage licenses the court records the testi-
mony of witnesses of the ceremony. There are no
records of any kind or description in the case of
a Mormon
It has been utterly impossible, out of the thou
sands of cases of polygamy among the Mormons,
to get description even of the plural marriage cere-
mony When the jurisdiction in the Federal
Government in Utah, Idaho, and the other terrtor-
les under the Edmunds Act of 1882 and the Ed
munds-Tucker Act of 1887, there no convictions
for polygamy. The prosecuting officers could not
indict even for poygamy The hundreds and hun
dreds of convictions for unlawful cohabtation
which can be proved by circumstantal evidence To
prove po1ygamy requires record evidence.
The Supreme Court of the United States has de-
fined unlawful cohabtation to be the holding out
to the world by man of more than one woman as
his wife. There is law against unlawful cohabi-
tation III Utah. but it cannot be enforced because
the Mormons control the politics and elect the Off
Gals The law is dead letter. The Mormons are
so strong politically in Idaho that they prevent the
passage of law against unlawful cohabtation In
this they are supported by all the Jack-Mormons,
who proclaim from the house-tops their undyng
hatred of poygamy Federal law would place the
power and duty of prosecution in the United States
Attorney and Marshal and the cause would be heard
before a United States Judge.
These officials would not be subservent to the
Mormon chiefs. They would not be accountable to
them, either for reward or punishment The Nor
mon leaders exercise their political power chiefly
to protect themselves in their poygamy They
immune and will continue to be secure from pun
ishment account of their polygamous living in
the states which they control politically. Under
Federal law they would have to give UP their polyg
amous living go to the penitentiary. They would
abandon polygamy, and when polygamy is really and
honestly given up, the greatest motive which in
huences the Hierarchy to control politics will be
taken away. The union of church and state, po1iti-
cal domination and polygamy, bound together.
There can be halt until both are destroyed.
The Federal law will be very effective. There
can be valid for Congress neglecting to
it.
