t1ilS great WOrh tHFOuSH inc
agency of Joseph Smith, then we
must seek for it in either of the
two bodies referred to who make
the claim of succession.
As for our position, as repre-
sentatives Of the Reorganized
Church, let me call your atten-
ton to the following facts. In
the Utah Doctrine andCovenants,
Sections 20 and 80 there are in
timations with reference to the
successor of Joseph Smith. The
Lord says there that He would do
the appointing. In Sec. 43 the
Lord comes out again and de-
clares that the successor should
be appointed through Joseph
Smith. One point right here that
differentiates us from the Utah
church is, our claim that Brigham
Young was not appointed
through Joseph Smith; but that
Joseph Smiths son was. Then we
come to Sec. 1874 where we are
told who it was that was to be
appointed through Joseph Smith.
Remember that in the first case
it said that God was to do the APP
pointing; second, that the ap-
pOintment was to be made
through Joseph Smith. Now we
come to text in the last section
named which tells us still more
specifically, that the appointee
was to be the ''head" of the
posterity of Joseph Smith. Ac-
cording to Book of Mormon and
Bible parlance, as well as COM
mon sense, that would be the eld-
est son of Joseph Smith.
In this connection we have re-
liable testimony of the son of
Joseph Smith having been bless.
ed for that work both in the Mis-.
souri, dungeon and afterward in
Nauvoo ;and again to his designa-
ton in NauvOo shortly ere the
assassination of his father, the
latter incident taking place be-
fore a public assembly,. But if you
doubt there having been any such
an event as his blessing, then we
invite you again to the text last
alluded to which informs us that
the blessing Of Joseph Smith was
to insure to the "head of his pos.
terity." The blessing Of Joseph
Smith was to be a leader like un.
to Moses, as placed upon him by
his father.-see Millennial Star

Men holding the priesthood in
the original church, who had
never apostatized, who had never
been cut off, were at work from
1852 endeavoring to carry out
the injunctions of the Lord
to them given when they APP
preached him with contrite
hearts in the day of uncertainty
to know what they should do, as
the Martyr had done in 1860. The
Reorganized Church was at first
composed of branches that had
been organized in the Martyrs
time and had remained intact up
to the time of their entering into
the Reorganization.

Elder Knisley Speaks
To Mornons Of Cache
Says They are Good Fellows Bot Have No
Authority. Presents His Proof.

The Republican takes no pleas
ure in discussion of differences
between religious sects and
creeds. We believe there are gen.
uine christians m all sectarian de-
nominations and there are gen.
uine christians outside religious
denomination where the label is
on the heart rather than the fore
head. Between these two classes
of Christians there may be great
difference of belief, but there is
no difference in their lives. Both
genuinely great in heart and meek
and lowly in spirit. Personally,
it's the daily life, not the inward
belief, for which we care and for
that reason we take little stock
in contentious for specific relig-
ious beliefs. Yet there are others
who do like to discuss and still
others who like to read discus
sions of this nature. The Repub-
lican s columns have ever been
and still are open to any and all
who in respectable language care
to present briefly matter relat-
ing to any subject Of public in
terest, and in accord with that
idea we give space to the fol-
lowing from. elder Albert

Christian Science has in the very
life of it's founder and leader
been rent in twain. DOwieism, in
the life of its founder, after an
amazing growth, has experienced
the inrOads of contention and
division. The early Christian
church following the days Of the
Son of God on the earth, had its
usurpers, who were, some of them
successful to the extent of draw
ing many away from the truth
and starting other sects or fac
tons with few variations in
teaching or organization, or both.
Seeing that such was the fate
of all other institutions, it is not
very surprising that the same
thing might befall the Latter-day
Saints. Indeed it did. Following
the death of Joseph Smith there
arose many who claimed his posi-
ton. Nearly all have vanished
but the Reorganized Church and
the Utah church of the valleys
here. If they are the only two
survivors the fight is between
them. We believe that there was
total apostasy of the primitive
Christian church in that it was

Funeral of
H.Hanserl
Good Man Eulogized
and Laid Away.

The funeral service over the re.
mains OF Hans A. Hansen was held In
the Sixth ward meeting house Satur.
day afternoon. There was o very
large attendance, the Sixth ward hav-
ing been Mr.. Hansen's home for many
years, until he moved into the Seventh
ward year or two ago. The Seventh
ward bishopric presided at the SER
vice and the cl,oirs of both wards
sang coujointly. August Hansen sang
q solo and Messrs. Helmar Peterson,
Frank Baugh, Willard Skanchy and
John Peterson rendered a quartette.
The speakers at the service were T.
A. Thoreson, Fred Turner, George
Dunbar, Bishop Anthem Anderson,
Bishop A. L. Skanchy, Pres. Isaac
Smith and Bishop o. J. Larsen. The
speakers confined themselves largely
to their personal experiences with the
deceased during life, and the tribute
to Bro. Hansen's genuine goodness Of
heart, breadth OF mind, sterling char.
acter and splendid worth could not
well have been more earnest or more
glowing. Each had known him under
various circumstances and In different
ways, and each Rad known naught but
good Of this man. He was one OF those
quiet, unassuming men, active In
doing rather than talking; q man
would rather be injured than to i'm.
pose on or misjudge another. He lived
q good life and left behind him none
but friends.
A further testimonial. to the honor
and esteem in which Bro. Hansen was
held came In the many floral tributes
and in the long cortege that followed
the remains to the cemeCcry.

and the Mohawk. Duluth property In
particular. The article Is OF consider

"Orsop Smith, a we'll known mining

over the future OF the entire district.

country OF remarkable mineraliza-

Ptomaine poisoning is getting to be common in Honolulu, as any doctor
OF large practice will ayouch. The cause of it is partly canned goods-espe-
eany those bought N cheap groceries-and partly the wrong way of keeping
foods that would otherwise be safe. Strangely enough, a host of people do
OF know the danger of leaving the contents of a can within it after the car
has been opened. A tin of frozen oysters will be cut int, a few Blue Points -
taken ut nd the rest leftw they absorb the poison which contact with air
makes active in the tin. This is a very prolific source of ptomaines. Every
can should be completely emptied of its food when any is removed at all That
is the only safe way.
Another danger to avoid is the consumption of Holsters which have been
alternately frozen and thawed-such Holsters al are kept on fshmarket slabs
by day and put into cold storage by night. o safeguard fsh-eaters from
ptomaines the absolute freshness of the food is demanded. There is peril
too, in the want OF cleanliness of cooking utensils. Back in 1898 the entire
Provisional garrison here was poisoned by the ptomaines in its frying pans.
Much will be done by the Pure Food law to eliminate groceries which are
rot up to the health standard, but after all, the best safeguard for the people
ls personal vigilance. -aas- e#fw~

END OF THE SESSION.

The last important acso d. the Legislature we're TO pass the municipal bill
and sustain the Governors veto of the grab bill. We are no more persuaded
than formerly that Honolulu Oh the Territory needs more government, but as
that policy has been adopted by the majority there is little left to say. As
for he grab bill, that was the one measure redolent OF graft % which the
Legislature had, perhaps reluctantly, committed itself, but the Senate has made
proper reparahon in the final vote.
Getting through on time is hardly to be expected of a Hawaiian Legsla-
ture-or of any other, for that matter-but this ne has kept within the limit
Washington, rs well as Honolulu and Hawaii, viii appreciate this departure
from the old way and welcome it as h sign of an improving sense of rspon
sbiity here
The action in regard to thu Local Option bill was regrettabl, but som
amends were made by passing a pretty good liquor bill and especially by
putting the say in regard to licenses in the hands OF frstGass commissioners
The friendly spirit shown by both houses to the small farmer is a proptious
sign If the times He is coming to his W by and by and the time will be
brought nearer by some of the measures passed, especially that establishing

Dividing praise n blame puts the largest mark OF the credit side. On
the whole the Legislature of 1907 has done well. Tt has set a high mark for

BUDDHIST INFLUENCE BAD.
Ss..sRw

An interview with a well known japanese, which appears in these columns
will prove deeply interesting both to the planters and to Christian workers
The latter have always deprecated the plan of building Buddhist temples on
the sugar estates and the planters may be expected to do likewise if the con-
illusions of the Japanese obs9ver,a about the bad effect OF Buddhist teachings
are correct. It appears that the Buddhist priests are reactionaries, and that
they are urging the little brown field hands to ignore westen ideas and wrap
themselves n the ancient prejudices AM supetstuions OF their race As a
result, plantation managers often find them insubordnate or in the frame If
mind tt make demands which are impossible to grant. It is the testimony
known to this journal as a Chistian-that the influence of the missionaries
which the Buddhist propaganda interrupted, vas of great value to the planters
in that it gave the japanese a western viewpoint and made them amenabl to
western ways

The talk about a third term for President Roosevelt fails to take account
Of the emphasis with which he has declined to consider one. Here is his
personal statement dictated to the newspaper correspondents at the White
House, o. the nigh. # election day, November s, 1904:
On the fourth of March next L shall have served thee and
a half years. and this three ant a half years constitutes my
first term. The wise custom which limits the President TO two
terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no
circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nom-
inahon.
There might be a emergency o war which would lead a man like Presi
dent Roosevelt to change a decision so cearcut as the one just quoted, but
w cal imagine 10 lesser reason. The President is a nan who tres TIC give
everybody a 'Fsquare deal'' and those who know him best dc cot believe he
would encourage presidential hopes in his personal and political friends and
then secretly plot to undo hem for his W advantage. That is not the Roose-
Sat way.

THE FINANCIAL CONDl-

Is gradually growing better. The
banks are getting little more lib
eral with their currency and are grad
ually retiring the CASHIERS checks
Confidence seems to be slowly re
turning to the minds of the people.
II was a kind of foolish scare any
way and we are glad to see the mon
ey returning again to its customary
channels. The trouble has been a
lesson to the American people.
1t has shown them that there is a
limit to speculation and stock gamb
ling and that there are serious de
fects in our banking laws.
The one great demand now is for
security for the depositor's money,
The bankers themselves recognize
the necessity for some provision of
this kind as protection to them
selves. There never would be such
a thing heard of as run on the
bank if the government or state
guaranteed the depositors.
This provision with rigid and fire.
quen. bank inspections would cost
but little and would establish and
maintain confidence between the
banks and there could be no posi-
Bile excuse for hiding money out.
Congress promises rellet and we be-
lieve some measure will be- adopted
that will accomplish the desired end.
