THE CONFERENCE.

Tho general conference that ended
OH Tuesday was time OF spiritual
refreshing and strengthening In the
faith. us is always the case with Tue
gatherings of the Church. The num-
Der of conference visitors continues
10 increase. Interest in the glorious
work in which the Saints are engaged
6eepens from time to time.
Unity and harmony prevailed
throughout. This Is a natural conse-
ouence Of the fact that the leaders OF
the church have absolutely no other
ambition. no other aim In life than
the furtherance OF tho cause OF the
Redeemer which is the salvation OF
the human race; and another equally
well established fact that the Saints
have fun confidence In the men whom
the Lord has made leaders and shop
herds of the Hook Where mutual
love and confidence exist, there must
necessarily be unity and harmony.
The addresses delivered in the con-
ference meetings, and also In the
meetings of the various auxiliary or
CARNATIONS and associations. such as
the Relief society, Sunday school I'M
lon, the Priesthood meeting. and the
numerous missionary reunions, were
all appropriate and instructive. Many
practical subjects We're discussed.
Among these We're the Word of Wis
dom and temperance, obedience TO
law, the necessity of unity, peace, the
proper spirit in which to partake Of
the Sacrament, and similar topics.
The reports from the mission fields,
Sunday schools, and other reports
showed progress all along the line.
The musical exercises We're, as al
ways, a very much appreciated feat
ure of the conference.
We are not mistaken when we say
that the Saints who attended this
gathering were benefited spiritually.
They have stronger testimony of the
truth of the Gospel, and they are bet
ter prepared to fulfill their everyday
duties for having mingled with their
brethren in these meetings.

FOR TEMPERANCE.

President Smiths statement at the
opening of the Conference that the
presiding Authorities of the Church
''are in harmony with the movement
towards temperance" and that the peo-
pie should decide this question by rea-
sonable and conservative measures that
will effectively diminish the crimes due
to drunkenness, ought to find q ready
support among all classes Of people.
There can be no doubt that the peo-
pie of this nation are slowly becoming
aroused to the enormity of the loss In
money. in happiness, and In true man
hood and womanhood, that the present
traffic in liquor actually represents.
If safe and conservative measures
for the restriction of this traffic shall
be resisted and defeated by the liquor
interests, then the people are justified
in resortlng to extreme and drastic
methods.
When once public attention Is fully
conferred upon the evil OF saloons, these
places will be put under restrictions
more or less severe, according to the
nature of the resistance these interests
interpose to block the needed reforms.
We might remind the proprietors OF
the liquor business that the saloon Is
an institution difficult to defend.
A ST. Louis contemporary remarks
IN humorous vein that though fifty ora
tors are said to have gone out OF Chi
cago to defend the saloon In the Illi-
nois local option campaigns, yet the
friends of the legal drink" are al
ready shaking their heads. They ar
que that where the danger of saying
the wrong thing is so great, Marc An
tony himself would hesitate TO say any
thing. II Is not like political CAM
paign. In politics anyone with good
lungs can do something. There are
certain well-known platltudes and
catch phrases which have never failed
TO sway someone. Moreover. tho crowd
is wholly made up of men, who are
not very bright as a sex, and are easl'
ly decoyed into what is not good fol
them. But tho liquor issue is ono in
which speaking upon the saloon side
is inexperienced. II IL not served bS
automatic truisms OF proved effective
ness, The crowds are largely made W
OF women which Is u menace, for thes,
are mentally keen as q sex, for thu
most part married, and moved by Z

severations OF man"

tend for the strlctest possible regula

on the board. To deny one-fifth of the
stock direct representation would be
an outrage Tho city has not acted
senshly In the matter. The farmers
have had some benefit OF the Citys por-
tlon of the water and viii continue to
have that benefit as long as the city

The ofrer the City has given the COM
pany for the use Of the canal seems to
be very liberal. It has offered to en-
large the ditch without cost to the COM
pany. and to keep Il In repair after
wards and. besides. to pay $1,000 a
year. This, the stockholders themselves
admit, is a very liberal offer. 1t would
be a great saving 70 those Interested.
They would have no more assessments
to pay, and yet have all the rights and
benefits they now have. Prudence and
reason should govern In such matters
and not greed.
Should condemnation proceedings be
Instituted. the owners of the canal
would. in all probability, obtain much
less for the use Of 1t than they are
now offered. The advantage to the
city OF abandoning the lower canal and
turning the water into the East Jordan
canal would not be so great as to war
rant an exorbitant price. This Is a fact
that the courts would recognize. We
hope the stockholders will not listen to
anything but reason. Any other course
would be to their own disadvantage.

woMAN's KINGDOM,


What we have actually seen with our
own eyes is a large number Of young
wives OF men making anywhere from
four to ten thousand a year. who do
no manual labor, who have not more
than two or three children, whose
household ordering requires not more
than an hour or two OF daily attention,
who find that clothes can be more
economically bought ready made, and
who, therefore, do not do the house
hold sewing. upon whose hands time
hangs heavy, and whose lives are Of
ten most unproftably spent. Many
take refuge in card-playing, in vying
with others in giving social entertain
ments, in nov6T-readlng or in pursuing
n superficial culture which results in
nothing. There would seem to be no
doubt but that In this country, at any
rate, there is too large a leisure class,
and II is n leisure class without the
wealth for philanthropy or the training
for responsibility.
