Truth

ator La Toilette. Midway between
the cast and west arises the stately
figure of Senator Foraker and near
it the taller one Of Vice President
Fairbanks. The occasional mention
of Secretary Cortelyou's name is not,
we think, to be taken seriously, at
least not yet a while, partly because
of his youth; and for en- exactly OPP
posita reason it seems hardly worth
while to daily with the name of
Speaker Joe Cannon. 1t is, as sug-
gested, mighty fine bunch and no
mistake Of consequence would be
made in the choice of either.
Truth has not forsaken its alleg-
lance to the president, nor does it
old to the idea that without him
the country is in danger. 1t prefers
him, but failing in getting him, will
cheerfully accept the best among a

THE PHILISTINE AND THE
MORMONS.

Ebert Hubbard, in the December
issue of The Philistine, has a very
readable and a very sensible article
devoted to the Mormons. 1t hits
some people very hard, but some
people deserve TO be hit hard. The
article is as follows:
If ever I join a Christian Church
,hink I'll join the Mormons.
All together there, nowl Onc! two
three!
The Mormons believe in the Old
Testament, the New Testament, and
the Bool; of Mormon
| believe in all three, and also in
Ill the bound volumes of The Phil
istine.

the Bible and in the Book of Nor
mon, | accept them as poetry, myth
and fable. But why and how peopic
who believe ir Moses found tables OF
stone carved by Jehovah, yet cavil
and sheer at the metal tablets dis
covered by Joseph Smith l cannot
understand.
1t is just matter of time and dist
ance, but time cannot make the false
true-that which once happened can
happen again. If God were God in
the. time of Moses, He is yet.
No one is shocked and grieved be-
cause Abr ham had several wives,
ard we are told that God loved Abb

ways, and as special reward for
well-doing God promised him an ex-
ira wife or two.

pretty closely, and I never heard of
Dr. Buckley criticiz;ng God or knock
ing on Him concerning His attitude
on the question of polygamy. Solo

Bible tells us he was the wisest man
that ever happened.
The lower forms of life have but
one purpose - reproduction. The
plant grows for the purpose of grow

great majority of vegetable life this
is accomplished in the one plant.
Some plants, however, are male and
others are female, and here the pro-

THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT.
IAL NOMINATION.

The managers of the different pres
idcntial candidates will now put their
machinery at work to tie extent OF
its capacity, this referring especially
to the Republican party, although
the Democrats have more than one
man in view end circumstances hav-
ing conspired to make it less one
sided contest than formerly; refer
ence is also had to Rooscvelt's abb
solute withdrawal, for with him in
the field, il would be folly in the
first degree for any other candidate
TO spend time and money in so vain
a quest as that of the presidential
nomination would be.

At the same time it is not out of

Polygamy with the Mo-mcns is a
hing of tie past. Men married to
plural wives may stand by them, but
new plural marriages are discounten-
anced by the church, state, society
ard nature in her present condition.
Men in Utah may here and there
break over, but not so much or so
often as they do in New York and
New England. In Utah there are not
so many women as men; in New Eng
land there are more women than men.
These surplus women are either old
maids, kept women, or prostitutes.
Nature does not entirely frown on
plural marriages, for the children of
suck are often superb in intellect and
physique. But on the prostitution

Polygamy does not mean disease.

as we know there is no discussion as
10 whether those that arc monoga-
nous are more virtuous than seals or
mountain sheep. To a seal, whose
nature is to multiply the species rap
idly, because the danger to life is
very great and perils arc numbcrless,
natures fine economy provides maiy
females for q few males. To a seal,
polygamy is virtue.
The lion is king OF the forest.
Lions, male ard female, can defend
themselves well against all other
beasts-monarchs of the forest, with
few dangers and small risk of loss to
life. Natures nice thrift works up
her balance sheet, and every female
needs her one mate, and to Mr.. Leo
and Mrs. Leo, polygamy is base, and
the only really moral animals are
monogamists.
A pioneer people, like Abraham
and his bard, Mahomet, and Brigham
Young and his followers, are daily
facing the immincntly deadly foes OF
hardship and perils unlimited. Nat
urc does not desert man because he
has an intellect. The human race is
just as dear to nature, just as much
= manifestation of natural law, IS the
lower animals. So the pioneer finds
in his creed message from God
commanding Lin to be mountain
sheep. He obeys nature. If the
pioneers prosper and subdue the elc-
merts, remove the danger line far
from them, and life becomes easy and
dangers few; then civilized man finds

The fact is, polygsmy IS en- econo-

the nomadic stcge, merging into the
agricultural, are polygamous as a
matter of course. They work hard,

YOUNG MAN
SHOOTS HIMSELF
Son OF Prominent CeciIton Merchant
Attempts Suicide..Hopes Are Enter
talned OF His Recovery

The many friends of Mr.. James
Smith, OF Cecilton, were greatly shock
c don Wednesday to learn that his son,
Crawford, had shot himself early that
morning. The young man hal opened
his fathers store, as usual; after which
he went to his room and sent two bull
lets through his lungs, on the left side
and so narrowly missing his heart as
that his escape from instant death is
remarkable. Indeed, for a time little
hopes were entertained for his recov-
cry, his pulse reaching 100 degrees and
showing a system severely shocked.
But since Thursday his pulse and tenn
perature have indicated gradual i'm
provement, until on Friday (our lat
est information as 10 his conditon)
DR.. H. Arthur Mitchell, who was call
ed in attendance reports his tempera-
ttire normal and his pulse 90 degrees.
The most serious apprehension as to
the young mans recovery arrives from
the possibility OF septic pneumonia,
plcurisy having OF course already set
in where the bullets pierced the lungs.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that this
will develop into nothing more than the
natural pneumonia sequence, and that
Mr.. Smith will recover. No cause for
his act has been assigned by his rela-
tivcS or friends.

Second Lecture In Course

The second of the Shakespearean
lectures in the University Extension
course, that is being given in Elkton,
was delivered in the Opera House
Wednesday evening by Mr.. Louis U.
Wilkinson, B. A., to large and ap-
preciative audience. Interest in the
second lecture, which was upon the
tragedy OF King Lear seemed to be
even greater than was manifested in
the first, which was on Hamlet, judg-
ing from the noticeable increase in
attendance. Not only was this inter
est apparent in the lecture proper, but
in the class attendance as well.
The lecturer fully sustained the i'm
preston he made as a Shakespearean
scholar and interpreter OF the great
bard's wonderful creations.
Although the audience evinccd deep
interest in the lecture proper, it is re-
GREETED that it was held by so much
diffidence and modestv as to keep it
from responding more generally to the
invitation OF the lecturer. after he had
finished his discourse, to ask him ques-
tions and to discuss in an informal
manner the various phases OF the sub
Ject which he had presented
Mr.. Wilkinson likes to be questioned,
and to have the different ideas of his
hearers brought out, believing that in
the discussion that follows much pro-
fitable information will Re had and the
exercises be made decidedly more in
teresting and attractive.
The lecture next Wednesday even
ing in the Opera House. at 8 p m, will
be upon "Othello," but the subjects
that will be considered at the class
meeting which will be held in the
School Commissioners room at AIS in
the afternoon, will be Hamlet and Lear
and it is hoped that as many as can do
so will be on hand ready with ques-
tons and ideas to excite as much dis
cuSSiOn as possible.
