Special to The Dispatch:
The long spell of warm weather is

nice winter weather.
Last Saturday, the 10th, Mrs. Susan

few months. Her funeral was con-

that one is all that has bloomed out

I know you, and many of your rea-
ders, will doubt the truth of what I
am now going to tell you, but it is
certainly true. Last Saturday, our
champion fisherman, MIR. H: J. Full

Senator Tillman, no matter what he

oats are white in color and are very
heavy and are said to contain nearly
double the amount of flour or meal
to that of the grain produced by the
means of irrigation. A variety of po-
tatoes has also been evolved, but this
vegetable is one which adapts itself
readily to conditions, and each Sue
ceeding crop grown from dry land
seed proves to be finer and larger
than the one preceding it. Endless
experiments in grasses and grains as
we'll as in vegetables remain to be
made, but with the successes already
attained along these lines, there is
no question but that the near future
will see the most gratifying results.
At the Utah State Fair, this year,
there will be one of the largest ex-
hibits of the products of arid farm
ing yet made in the history of the
world. These will be brought from
all over the arid region, and will
form an attraction unknown to any
other fair in the United States. Not
only will there be an exhibit of tho
products of the arid farms, but a por-
ton of the fair grounds will be given
over to the machinery used in arid
farming and the manner of tilling the
arid land will also be demonstrated
on a plat of land reserved for tina.
purpose. This exhibit will form
fine adjunct to the Dry Farming Con
gress, and will go a long way toward
building up the industry.

CHEERFUL FUNERALS.

Not long ago a prominent and pop
ular minister of London shocked his
congregation by appearing at the fun.
eral of member of his church in
gray suit. His explanation was this:
81 am tired of the gloom and pag-
anism of our Christian funerals. This
man was eighty-two years old. All
his life he had maintained character
of purity and uprightness, and for
most of his life he had strong Chris
tan faith. Why should we load our
selves with black for such a passing?'
The question will come home to
thousands of thinking Christians out
side of this minister's parish. 1t is
easy to understand the purely per-
sonal and selfish grief of those who
have closed the eyes of one they
loved, but it is not easy to see why
those to whom belief in the resurrec-
ton and in Immortality is as a cor
ner-stone should continue their con-
ventional mourning for months and
years.
We hail the birth of child with JOY
and congratulations; we greet death
with sorrow and condolences. Yet
death is as normal, as natural part
of Gods plan, as is birth, and to
every sincere Christian it is the be
ginning of life beside which the
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-08-24

most joyous earthly life is poor and
unsatisfying.
The common attitude toward death
is, as the London preacher called it,
not Christian but pagan. The real,
consistent Christian attitude regards
death as a natural and inevitable step,
which all must take, as surely as we
go from nursery to schoolroom, and
from schoolroom to the greater
world outside. Above all, it thinks
of those whose presence is no longer
visible, not as gone, but as still with
us, sharing every joy, and knowing
at last every loving thought which
we entertained, but failed to express
while they were here in the flesh.
1t is this view which makes death
not a horrible but beautiful thing
to contemplate, and which, when we
attain it, will rob funerals of much
of their hideous pagan panoply and
unnatural and immoral gloom-Ex.

The same may be said of the state
institutions" ON one town in Utah
there are fifty Mormon women who
if they could leave in body would
make their escape, but dare not go
out singly." Mormon children are
born to a heritage of degradation and
Mormon men are taught that through
fulfilling the lusts of the flesh they
shall become Gods" Lying, pro-
family and moral pollution proclaim
the origin of Mormonism." mot one
marriage in ten is absolutely honest

educational needs of the states in

CHURCHES IN POLITICS.
Editor Truth

Editor Truth
The long worn out lamentable wall
in the Sunday Tribune on Statehood
Pledges Political" shows how hard
up the Tribune is for editorial mat
ter. The Tribune attempts to show
that the Mormon church is in politics,
because it gave permission to Senator
Smoot to accept the United States
Senatorship, and that is all the evil
dence the Tribune has for its long
drawn out innuendo editorials. For
a church to give permission for one
of its members or officials to run for
office does not indicate that that
church is in politics A mother may
give her son permission to go to a
circus but that does not indicate that
the mother is in the circus business
or that she helps in any way her son
to go to the circus. She may be OPP
posed to the circus and would much
rather her son would not go. Her
humoring him does not indicate in
any degree that she took him to the
circus or helped him in any way to
go

SOCIETY'S GALLERY.

We sympathize very much with
society leader who feels outraged be-
cause the newspapers published an
unauthorized and untrue announce
ment of her engagement. But it is
also true that we sympathize very
much with the newspapers.
Observe the daily society column
in your favorite paper, and the illus
trated full page on Sunday This rep
rcsents the labors of from one to
three reporters. Is Mrs. Brown
White to entertain some friends at
dinner? She kindly tells the reporter
all about it, including what kind of
posies she will have on the table and,
if he insists upon it, what her guests
will have to eat. At Miss Smith
Thompson's swell wedding the man
agement makes arrangements to ac-
comodate representatives of the press
exactly as at prize fight or a politi-
cal convention. Notice of Mrs. Jones'
Johnson's musicale is sent in by mail
for publication, and the good lady
really thinks the event is charged with
an important public interest.
Indeed, on slightly lower level
among the near swell, there is much
bitterness and heart burning if the So
ciety editor leaves out notices Of the
little engagements, weddings and teas.
1t is an open question how long
smart society would exist if the press
did not provide well fitted public
gallery to look on in mingled awe and
envy. Society, by the generous man
ner in which it facilitates reporting,
recognizes the gallery as an integral
part of the show A society leader
should be as indugent to the &C.
casional indiscretions of the press as
popular actresses proverbially are.
and for just the same reason. In fact,
when you come to think of it, the two
classes are here in the same boat.
1t is unpleasant to have false state
ments of ones intimate personal af-
fairs spread on the front page. But
can one afford to quarrel with the pub
licity agency and take the risk os an
empty gallery?
