The ProdiaaPs Father.

From Putnam's and The Reader.
In the parable of the Prodigal Son, II
is not the poor wretch himself whose
miserable motive for returning is plainly
indicated-that instead of pining in cold
and hunger he may be warmed and cloth
ed-who Is the hero of the story; still
less is It the hard and virtuous elder
son. The hero of the tale is the patient,
tolerant, loving father, who had ncted,
as a censorious critic might say, fooIishly
and culpably, in supplying the d~issolute
boy with resources, and taking him back
without a word of just reproach. A sad
lack Of moral discipline, no doubt! II
he had kept the boy in fear and godli-
ness, II he had tied him down to honest
work. the disaster need never have hap
pened. Yet the old man, who went so
often at shutdown, we may think, to the
crest OF the hill, from which he could
see the long road winding over the plain
to the far-on city, the road by which
he had seen his son depart, light-heartedly
and full OF fierce, joyful impulses, and
along which he was to see the detected
figure, SO familiar, so sadly married, STUN
bling home-he Is the master-spirit of
the sweet and comforting scene. His heart
is full of utter gladness, for the lost is
found. He smiles upon the servants; he
bids the household rejoice; he can hardly,
In his simple JOY of heart, believe tina
the froward elder brother is vexed and
displeased; and his words of entreaty that
the brother, too. will enter into the spirit
OF the hour, are some OF the most pa
thetic and beautiful ever framed in human
speech: "Son, thou art ever with me,
and all that / have is thine; II was meet
that we should make merry and be glad;
for his thy brother was dead and is
alive again, and was lost, and Is found

Denmark and iceland.

FROM the independent.
Iceland is q large island, having about
as many square miles as Kentucky, but
having a population OF only about $4,000,
that is, about that of Des Moines, Ia,
|{or Lynn, Mass. and vet 1t has large polit-
lIdl ambitions, which are likely to be
grRtifled SO as to make II a Kingdom,
independent, yet not separated from Dem
mark. In 1871 Iceland was allowed a sep
arate encouragement, and two houses
Of its parliament, or althlng, half OF the
members OF the upper house being nomi-
mated by the king. In 1908 the governor
general was withdrawn and replaced by
a minister for Iceland residing there at
Reykjavik, while the althing consist OF
40 members, OF whom six are appointed
by the crown. Yet this approach to
autonomy does not satisfy the people, and
a committee composed OF members OF the
Danish and Icelandic p~arliaments have
agreed on a new plan that Is likely to
be adopted. Under 1t Iceland will be a
kingdom, as independent as Denmark, but
under the same king, just as Austria and
Hungary are under one emperor. The bill
provides that Iceland shall constitute a
free, autonomous and independent coun-
try, united to Denmark by a common
king and common interests and forming
with Denmark a state federation-the
United Danish empire. If the bill passes
King Frederick will be entitled to call
himself king of Denmark and king OF
Iceland. Various concessions nave been
granted to Iceland. giving a greater de-
gree OF independence. The Icelandic
treasury win contribute to the kings civil
list, and ~Icelanders and Danes will enjoy
equal rights in both countries. 1t is pro-
yided also that the law may be revised
after Is years IL either party objects to
its continuance. but not so as to affect
union with Denmark or a common min,
istry of foreign affairs. When approved
Iceland will be even more independent OF
Denmark that Canada is of Great Britain,
for she will have no encouragement.

THE G.. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.

A decided step in forwarding the
preparations for the National G. A. r.
encampment in this city next August
was taken by the president and board
of governors of the Commercial Club
on Friday evening, when they closed
a contract for this work with Colonel
Frank NJ Starrett Of Toledo.
Colonel Starrett is the man who has
had charge of the preparations for the
campments. He is, therefore, entirely
familiar with all that should be done;
and that he is able to do it all to the
satisfaction of the old veterans is man
ifest by their acquiescence in his CON
tinuing TO do it.
Colonel Starrett is coming hero in
about a month to open his headquarters
and begin the preparations. He will be
helped in every possible way by the
Commercial Club, and will make things
movo right along when he comes, And
no doubt he will also have the united
support and active help of all the people
in his labors.
1t will be splendid TO have the old
army veterans here, and they will be
here in force. The various auxiliary
societies Of the several armies and the
special organizations will all be here;
and the Women S Relief Corps also, in
National assembly. 1t Will be great
occasion for Salt Lake, and we must
all do what we can to make it also n
great occasion for the veterans, one to
be remembered by them with Joy and
qualification to the longest days of their
lives. For, 1t must be remembered, it
is not many years now till all the old
bows will be too worn and feeble to 90
far to hold encampments. For them,
even now, the sun, and the light, and
the moon are darkencd the clouds re-
turn not after the rain; the strong bow
themselves, the grinders cease because
they are few, the sight is darkened, the
silver cord must soon be loosed and the
golden bowl be broken. But as yet
they are full able to appreciate
hospitality and good will; and these
they must have in full measure, pressed
down and running over, from the good
people of Salt Lake.

position to the popular will would act
rs an effective veto of the public de-
sire. In effect, it is Smith who holds
the Scnatorship, not Smoot. who is
simply n fgure-head representative of
the lawbrcaking prophet in Congress.
Smoot did not oven dare TO announce
his candidacy before no had procured
the permission Of the prophet to do so.
lis claim that he asked this permis
sion in order to conform with the rule
of the church known as the political
manifesto is farcical subterfuge-th
real object being to secure the support
of Smith, without which he could never
have been elected. Although the leg,
islators. elect now understand that Smoot
is to DO returned to the Senate for a
second term, the apostle knows that
he would not dare to have his name
presented to the Legislature if Joseph
F. Smith forbade ii. He is completely
the creature of Smith and is compelled
TO submit absolutely to his dictation.
But what is most humiliating of all
is that somo Gentiles, knowing the cir
cumstances full well. lend themselves
in support of the apostle and Join with
him in his conspiracies to PROSTATE the
State to tho tyranny of the polygamist
chief Of the high priests. While it is
truo that these supporters are few, it
is also 4 fact that they arc of sufficient
number to bring deep humiliation upon
the lawabidine people who are seeking
to bring conditions in this State into
harmony with those obtaining elsewhere
in the Nation. It certainly is time that
these men were opening their eyes to
the truth and withdrawing themselves
from the reasonable schemes hatched
up in the temple and IN the Offices Of
the Mormon first presidency, The
longer they remain attached to the
policies of the presiding high priests,
the more they protract the struggle
which must inevitably result in their
final defeat and disgrace; for Amer
icanism will triumph in Utah, despite
all the opposition that the hierarchs
and their political tools can launch
d against it.
