, thoroughly with the religion of the
Mormons.
Asserting that our Mormon church
was steadily gaining ground, instead
of retreating, as is the public opinion,
Miss Hughes pointed out the danger
of 1t securing a foothold. The only
remedy that she saw to check the
EVIL. was the passing of law by con-
.gress preventing plurality marriages,
as the state law against the evil is a
dead letter. Miss Hughes made her
four points God. home, liberty and
education. "God is a living person
with the Mormons, and the person
they call God could not be more de-
graded and more licentious," was one
of the fearless sentences of Miss
Hughes.
The sacredness of the home is dis
regarded. Liberty was discussed ana
the speaker showed that the Mormons
are regular slaves to the heads of
their church. On the backwardness
of education Miss Hughes pointed that
the recent stride in education in Utah
was a forced measure. "Salt Lake
City is not TO be regarded as a fair
example Of a Mormon city" said Miss
Hughes, land the tourists do not gain
a clear conception of their practices.
for only 40 per cent of the people are
Mormons."
Miss Hughes is an agreeable speaker
and deserved larger audience, for
she has clear knowledge of the Nor
mons. This afternoon the revival
will begin at the church, and the Rev.

Rev NJ. E. Chapel, of Princeton, a
former pastor Of the church. Services
will be held in the afternoon from 2
to O'Clock, and in the evening at
1880 o'clock. II has not been decid-
ed how long the meetings will con-
tinue, but the revival will last until
next Sunday at the least. Special
music will be arranged for during the
revival.

Tafts Development as a Statesman.
(Review of Reyiews.)

Mr. Taft himself has played a great
part in the splendid history that this
country has been making during the
past ten years. He had risen rapidly
at the bar, had been judge of the SUI
perior court of Ohio for several years,
and solicitor-general of the United
States for two years, when in 1892
he was appointed a United States cir
cult judge. at the age of thirty-tive.
As a Judge on the federal bench he
justified all expectations, and was
happy in a congenial life position. 1t
was no light matter for him, at Presi-
dent McKinley's urgent request, to
leave the bench and go out to the
Philippine Islands as president of the
Philippine commission and first gov
ernor. Judge Taft accepted the APP
pointment not as a promotion or as a
desirable thing in itself, but as a seri-
GUS public duty. pressed upon him in
a real emergency. We had under
taken a novel il not a questionable
responsibility, and the success of our
experiment depended very largely
upon the initial steps to be taken. A
great lawyer and a great huamni-
tartan was needed. and President Me
Kinley felt that Judge Taft combined
the desirable qualifications in a
higher degree than any one else he
could find. The Filipinos were bit
.terly disaffected, and il was necessary
to win their confidence. William H.
Taft convinced them absolutely of his
own good will toward them. and of
his determination to administer the
affairs of the islands for the benefit
of the inhabitants. Many another
man might have been quite as solicit
GUS for their, welfare. but few could
have been so endowed with genial
and sympathetic qualities, together
with pOise and firmness, as to have
made the strong impression In the
Philippines that Mr.. Taft was able to
make. Furthermore, his ability and
experience as great constitutional
lawyer were of inestimahle value in
the reshaping of the political insttu-
tiOns of the islands and in the adjust
ment of legal relationships between
them and the United States.

Taking his text from the incident

porary leader Aaron, in erecting for
them an Egyptian Idol. the Rev. w.
+. Cave, pastor of the First Presby-

cussed concisely the tendency of mod

preacher as the keeper of their con-
sciences, to look to him for example

and the weakness of ministers some
times catering to worldly tastes in
their effort to crafty the demand OF

Make Big Hit at Their An.
nuaI Minstrel Show
MANY PYTHIANS ARE PRESENT

Members of the Kenosha Lodge Of
the knights of Pythias appeared in
burnt cork, purple and fine linen at
Germania Hall on Thursday evening
when the annual minstrel show and
dance was given by the members of
the Uniform Rank and the evening
proved to be one of the most enioya-
BILE ever arranged for the Knights and
their friends. Before the show there
was parade of the members of the
the Uniform Rank in full uniform and
the parade made a decided hit. More
than twenty-five of the members of the
Uniform Rank Of Racine came down to
attend the entertainment and there
was a goodly number of Knights and
their ladies present from Waukegan,
Milwaukee and other cities.
The minstrel show was a great sue
cess Introducing many local musicians.
1t was under the direction of Prof. f.
R. Jacoby and Harry Whitbeck, who
has won many laurels as an interlocu-
tor, officiated in the middle of the
stage. Many local hits were pulled off
by the bones and tambo, the list being
made up of DR.. F. B. Clapp, Seigel
Conley, G. III. Ernst and J. G. McGib-
bon. The chorus was especially well
drilled. The following musical pro-

The school board acted with courage
and good sense in dealing with the
salary question. This continual chang
ing of teachers is not good for the
schools and it would be "penny
wise and pound foolish" policy to per
nit our best teachers to be drafted to
other cities year after year in order to
save the comparatively small increases
in salary that would keep them here
The board will be criticised of course
for increasing expenses, but those who
have expressed the fear that the board
will be subjected to an annual "hold
up" for salary increases because of it's
action this year are worrying prematur-
ly. The members of the board, the SUI
perintendent and the principals Of the
different schools should be entirely
competent to pass on the merits of any
future applications for increases and
any teacher who applies for an increase
who is not entitled to it will doubtless
be permitted to depart at any time.
We do not believe that the board has
opened the way for any general raid on
the school funds by granting few de-
served increases.
