the most prosperous years in the his

Pay of Congressman.

In special interview at Washing.
ton for the Chicago Record Herald
dozen congressman expressed them
selves for an increase of salary from
the present amount of $4,000 to ST.
500 against one congressman-K iefer
who said the present salary was
enough.
From Indiana, Jesse Overstreet OF
the Indianapolis district said it was
not enough and that it cost much
more to live in Washington than at
home. Now Jesse is and has been
chairman OF the congressional com.
mfttee over the rural free delivery
system for several years and has per-
sistently held out to the postal au.
thorities that rural mail men were
paid to the limit at 500 per wear
and has defeated the adoption by the
department of less stringent treat
ment in pay and otherwise to these
men. Seems to me this is a strain
ing at gnat and swallowing camel
process. Jesse isn't selfish for moth
ing is he? 1t is in order for some rur-
al mail man TO suggest to the gentle
man that if it costs less to live at
home he'd better quit. You know that
IS what they always tell mail men
and I've heard our soft footed, gentle
voiced postmaster say it more than
once. However nobody has reported
Mr.. Overstreet as intending to re-
sign. He is like our own congress
man, he would spend twice the term
salary to get back if the living was
twice as high; and by the way it
looks now, even in the face of the
late returns as if the gentleman was
going to try to make us prove it two
years from now Well let him come
ahead, we've got the goods
Among others who were interview
ed was Speaker Cannon who said il
cost him twice his salary to live each
year since he became speaker. Mr..
Caronn is almost a millionaire and
has been in congress sixteen years
and was reelected in November for
two years more | don't know where
he got his money. Maybe it fioated
up the river to him on a milestone.
l.. n Littauer of New York said it
cost him three times his salary to
live each year Champ Clark of Mis-
souri,, said it cost him his salary and
800 besides. Champ takes to the
lecture stand and deals out sarcasm
at so much per 'casm' for the seven
hundred. Congress last week voted
down bill to raise their own salaries
but they expect the senate to pass
the bill which will not make it look
so bad. "A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet"

Idea of the Teachers.

The Indiana State Teachers asso-
citation has adjourned after having
prepared for vigorous winter cam
paign for educational legislation by
the coming general assembly. The
meeting, it is believed. will be richer
in direct results and benefits to tn
teachers of Indiana than any in the
recent history of the association. |

fund. This is the bill by which the
long cry for adequate salaries will be
answered, it is hoped.

Negro Orator Triurnphs.

By a very narrow margin, Samue
Taylor of indianapolis, a colored
graduate OF the Shostridge high
school, won first place in the De-
Paw oratorical contest at Green
castle Saturday night. Four of siS
judges gave him first, and the total
OF his markings was thirteen. Will
liam Evans of Greencastle received
only two hrsts, but the total of his
grade was twelve.
Although the total figures would
have given Evans victory, the state
and interstate constitutions award
first place to any man receiving four
OF the six firsts. and on this provi-
sion the colored orator won.

Among matters to be presented 20
the next Indiana legislature will be a
bill embracing provisions for raising
the retail liquor license fee much
allow. what is now the figure fixed by
law. The attempt will be to establish
$1,000 as the license rate, the same
figure as that established in Ohio.
The new license law in Ohio has
about doubled the states revenues
from liquor licenses while At the same
time it has greatly diminished the
number of saloons. In this latter re-
spect almost every section of the state
has gained, even the larger cities, no
rably Cleveland having a very large
number of saloons go out of business
under operation of the new license
law. There Is no reason to suppose
the effect of a one-thousand-doIlar
license fee IN Indiana would not be
quite similar There may be an ef-
fort to affect compromise on $500
in the proposed Indiana law, but the
original friends OF such a measure will
stand stoqftly for the higher figures.

B0yh00d Home
OF Joseph Smith

In the heart of the Green noun,
tains of Vermont, in an isolated
sylvan spot was born IN 1905 the
prophet of the 10th century, The
old home in which the boy prophet
was born was built on the top OF
some beautiful hills 1850 feet above
sea level. The old orchard which
was planted over a hundred years
ago, is still living and at the pres
ent time the trees are heavily load
ed with fruit.
On the east side of this beauti
full monument, down the hill leads
a grassy road to the old Sharon
road, which is but few steps from
the stream Of water that flows
through the three hundred acre
| farm.
The church has purchased n
tract of land, something over 800
acres. In few years this place
will be noted as one of the great
est places in the east. They are
planting different kinds of trees,
developing springs, and piping
water from the mountains for the
purpose of watering the lawns and
flowers, On the site of the old
home a memorial cottage and mon
ument have been erected in honor
of the Mormon prophet, Joseph
Smith. This magnificent monu-
ment rises fifty feet, ten inches
high, has weight of nearly 100
tons, and is the largest polished
granite shaft in America and so
far as can be learned in the world.
The cottage is of the most modern
architecture and is grand indeed.
convenient and beautiful. The old
hearthstone was trimmed and re.
laid on the spot on which it rested
in the days of the boy prophet,
The beautiful monument is pol
ished from base to pinnacle. The
foundation is made Of concrete
composed of Portland cement
Upon this rests the first base

ches thick. weight eighteen tons
The center of the block is nearly |
five feet square, cut out to facilitate,
handling. This space is filled with
concrete except one foot square in
which reposes copper casket con
tanning books, records, portraits,
coins, etc. Over this rests the
second base and upon it stands the
inscription die. This is six feet
square at the bottom and two
inches less at the top. 1t is six
feet two inches high and weighs 10
tons. 1t is covered by a moulded
cap seven feet, four inches square

Thereafter heavenly angels ap'

Angel Moroni revealed the record
from which the book OF Mormon
was translated to him. These he
translated by the gift and power
of God. He organized the Church
of Jesus Christ Of Latter day Saints
on the 9th day of April, 1880, with
six members. He devoted his en-
tire time to the esta blishment of
the church and sealed his testl.
mony with his blood. La his min

by his brother, Hyrum Smith, who
suffered martyrdom with him. A

have been made throughout the
world and the monument has been
