YELLOW JOURNALS.

The Catholic press Of the country
Is alarmed at the general support CIV
en- to the yellow" journals by Catho-
lies, while the papers edited in the in
terest of Catholicism find II difficult
to maintain themselves Attention has
been called TO this subject by the fol-
lowing facts:
One of the So called yellow journals,
some time ago, instituted II coupon
contest for trips to Palestine, to
Europe, to Cuba, to Mexico, TO Cali
fornia. and 1t transpired that most Of
the winners were Catholic priests. The
clergyman heading the list received no
less than 1,132,534 votes. The second,
nearly million; the third. 744,776. OF
the Afty-one clergy1nen named as vim
ners and as coming close to the
winners, thirty-three were Catholic
priests
Says Catholic paper:
mo well-meaning Catholic will
grudge these priests the benefits of
their trips to the Holy Land, etc But
is 1t not awful TO contemplate the
fact, so clearly indicated by the re-
suits of this Palestine contest that
1t Is largely. II not chiefly, the Cath
ollcs OF Chicago that read ara support
the yellowest of the yellow journals,
which disgrace that metropolis? And
we have been told on seemingly good
authority that similar conditions exist
in New York and san Francisco;
that there, too. the yeltcw Hearst pa
pers enjoy the patronage of Catholics
to such an extent that they would
probably cease to be profitable were
they entirely deprived OF Catholic
support"
we believe there Is too much indiffer-
cnce among church people generally.
and not only among Catholics, ms to
the quality OF their meital food. peo-
pie fail TO realize the consequences of
the daily consumption Of the poison

reports OF crime, and unclean gossip.

ON SUCCESSION.

The address delivered IN the Weber
Stake Tabernacle on the tenth day Of
March. this year by Elder Joseph r.,
Smith, Jr., on the Origin Of the Re-
organized Church, and also his address
in the same place on the 2sth Of
April, on the Succession in the Presi-
deney of the Church, have now been is
sued in pamphlet form aud can be had
at tho Deseret News Book Store. These
addresses created great deal of inter-
est at the time they were delivered.
and many who heard them, or read
them In the News viii be pleased
to have them in pamphlet form for ref
erence. Elder Smith has studied the
subjects Of these addresses very thor
ougliy. and is, therefore. I'm a posi-
tion to mp'lrt much valuable informn-
ton.
One point the speaker makes very
clear Is this. that the so-called Re
organized church did not come into
existenc. till about sixteen years ar
ter the martyrdom. and that its only
historical connection with the Church
III through the apostate branch OF
which james j. Strnng was the head,
from which division the founders of
the Reorganization branched out. That
they recognized the fact that they had
severed themselves from all connec-
ton with the Church was proved by
tse name which was given to their So
.iety. New Organization of the
Church,
Another point made Is this, that the
'.Reorgansses" claim, first, that the
commandments of the Lord relating TO
ordinances for the dead are not obliga-
tory. but only ''permissive," and second
~ that the Church was rejected because
IL did not complete the Temple in which
those ordinances We're TO have been per-
formed That is to say. according to
the views Of the Reorganites, the Lord
rejected His people for not obeying a
commandment that was not obligatory;
lie rejected the Saints because these
I'D not perform ordinances which the
l.eorganltes themselves neglect to per-
form. There Is consistency.
The question OF succession, t'iuei
Smith discusses very exhaustively. and
the conclusions he arrives at are In
controvertible. He proves by numerous
witnesses that the Prophet Joseph. d.
rected by the Lord. committed the
authority he had to the Apostles, and
not to any other man.
The Latter-day Saints win be pleased
to have these lectures in pamphlet
form, and TO study the truths set forth
In them: and al! the more because the
subjects are dealt with In true Chris
tian spirit, without the intolerance that
TOO often eharacterizes the controversy
led by anti "Mormons." 1t is pamph-
let which even the Reorganite brethren
might read with profit to themselves.

BRITISH COMMENT ON JAP
AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

London. July 1S.-The weekly review
gravely comment upon the Japanese
American situation. They express re-
lief that the immediate tension appears
to have been relieved but they foresee
that 1t Is not impossibl, in the more or
less distant future. that the same prob
lem should confront Great Britain that
now confronts the United States.
The Spectator publishes thoughtful
article In which, althouhg 1t disnisses
the idea that war between Japan and
America is wholly incredible. II admits
with reluctance that the situation con-
tains many elements of anxiety, saying
1t is almost inevitable that there should
come conflict, some time or other,
out of the Anglo-Saxon resistance TO
the landing of Japanese immigrants in
the territories bordering the Pacific
ocean. The colonists of Australia.
Africa and Canada arc as anxious as
the people OF California to exclude yell
low races. With all respect toward Ja-
pan, the Spectator Is unable to with
hold It's sympathy from the colonists.
1t says circumstances have forced the
Americans to be the pioneers in work.
Ing out the problem, but II is impossible
to foresee how soon another series OF
accidents may not bring Great Brit
ain face to face with similar difficulties.
Consequently the paper expresses the
most earnest hope that the British
government aud press will do the ut
most In their power TO aid In the pro-
motion in a peaceful and enduring
solution OF the Northumberland
problem, the government by tactful in
fiucnce OF an ally and the press by the
avoidance OF any comment might prove
to be an embarrassing one in the flu
ture,

OCEAN BOTTOM LEAKS.


DR., Thomas Jefferson Jackson See.
an astronomer in the service of the Z,
S. Navy, is OF the opinion that the
leakage of the ocean bottom is the
cause of earthquakes, the water being
transformed into steam owing to the
interior heat of the planet
In the Chicago Tribune he states
that the great earth and volcanic
belts are along the shor~- of contin-
ents. or in the sea, and "A study OF
the ocean depths shows that the earth
quakes are worst where the sea is
deepest and the shore is steepest. The
land is often urllfted - EARTHQUAKES
and the adjacent sea bottom sinks, as
shown by the accompanying seismic
sea waves.
All the great mountain chains, he
says have been formed by this process
and hence the exact parallelsm to the
seashore known 20 every schoolboy,
but not heretofore understood by geol-
ogsts. But now that earthquakes are
proved TO he due TO the leakage of the
ocean bed, necessarily resulting from
the great depth and pressure OF the
water upon It, we are in a position 10

tor Is correct. San Fracnsco Is safe

years before the subterranean stress

earth again In q violent manner. san
Francisco Is. therefore, safe while
other towns on the Pacific coast ought
TO take warning and be prepared for
any emergency which may arise
The Doctor is OF the opinion that
the whole western part OF our country
beyond the Rocky Mountains has been
uplfted from tho sen nv earthquakes
within recent geological times, and that

ing more lanl. Except for earth
