the democratic congressional committee, which has
issued 400 pages of vote making literature. 1t is
composed of speeches in congress- which give it free
passage through the mails
The book deals with the issues of the campaign
Republican extravaganza is of them and financial
conditions another. The tariff and the trusts now
nseparable companions are given eighty pages in the
work Federal usurpation of authority currency re-
form, the Philippines policy the tyranny of the
speaker of the house and rules committee republican
responsibility and the conditions that face the country
are topics that are elaborated upon by capable
thinkers. feature is made of the demand for pub
Ec1ty OF campaign contributions while labor prob
lens and the election of United States senators bv
direct vote are given prominence
Omissions from the republican platform give the
democratic committee a monopoly of several impor-
tant issues this year and it has taken advantage of
the opportunity to deal with popular questions and
thus interest the people who are to vote in November

Teachers of a Crime.

A convenient little book that is extensively used
to strengthen the maturing Mormon mind is "The
Preceptor." 1t designed especially for young
Mormons engaged in missionary work. though it is
safe reading for any of the sanity aggregation in
search of information pertaining to Mormonism.
On the title page of THE Preceptor' it is stated
that the work embraces "a simple system for enabling
the young to acquire knowledge of the doctrines of
the gospel and the ability to preach them"
Sixteen of the sixty pages of the book are devoted
to the training of young missionaries under the head
ing, Plural Marriages" At the head of this chapter
it is stated:
AS the elders who go abroad are invariably assaed
on the subject of poygamy it will be we'll for them
to be prepared to show that it is sustained by the
Bible Should class wish to inform themselves on
the subject, let them argue against the following
sectarlan standpoint Polygamy is not sustained by
the scriptures"
Budding Mormonhood is therefore directed to pre-
pare itself to meet the common charge of the Gin
der world, Chat the scriptures do not sustain poly
gamy) through familiarity with the common method
of assault and the arguments with which to repel it,
THE Preceptor" groups the evidence in rebuttal
quoting generously from the Christian Bible in sup
port of the institution of polygamy.
To prove that "chdren born in the poygamous
order of marriage acknowledged and blessed of
the Lord" the student is given verses 5-11 of the
10th chapter of Genesis, verses 1920 of the 21st
chapter OF Genesis, 1-6 of the 23rd chapter
Genesis and verses 12 of the 25h chapter of Genesis
Genesis Goth, verses 1 to 5, are quoted to demon
strate that "Abraham's course was approved of God
evidently including his entering into the po1ygamous
marriage relation
To prove that Moses was a polygamist and the
Lord sorely displeased with his being interfered
with i'll that relation, portions of the I'd chapter of
Exodus and the 18th chapter of Numbers are sub
nitted to the missionary student
From scrpitual sources David and Solomon are
caused to contribute to the proof of the divinity of
he origin of poygamy and all the authorities bearing
IN the ustful side of the subject are brought into
he scope of these lessons for learners
The Preceptor" concludes this department of its
Instruction with the following paragraph;

Correspondent Gives His
Views en- Question as
Debated

The question Resolved That
Women Teachers Should Command as
High Salaries as Men was debated
at the high school last evening. The
affirmative was represented by John
Chartz and Theodore Gossemerker
and the negative by Annie Platt and
Minnie Gallagher. The judges decided
in favor of the side represented by
the young ladies.
The following communication was
received in regard to the debate:
EDITOR APPEAL:-
Preliminary to little friendly crit
cism, | desire to state that on the
whole, is was a very crediable per-
formance, IN which counsel on both
sides indulged in solid argument,
favored with Attic salt, wit and satire.
l consider the decision correct, for the
main reason that the affirmative side
taken by the boys, failed TO marshal
their facts and authorities in as close
sequence as the girl, did, and failed
to bring out the strength Of their case
as fully as the girls did, and permitted
themselves to be "switched' and side
tracked on matters not pertinent to
the issue, to wit: Resolved, That
women teachers should not command
as high salaries as men,
The boys maintained that women
should command as high salaries as
men, upon the following grounds,
, amongst others: That they are the
nrst and natural teachers from baby
hood, and are Iar superior teachers
teachers are nearly worthless, and
they named a large number OF men

unless the mining men wake up they
will find the space taken by some
other State. and Nevada, the State
that the eyes of the mining world is
centered on, Will be conspicuous by
its absence.
We have secured free freight rates
both ways and we a re getting encour-

the money goes up on the space very
soon that Nevada will be out of it.

Yes, indeed; it will look little
queer il Nevada is not represented at

more will settle the matter definitely
and believe we will land the exhibit,
but regret that we are so pressed for
, time at the last moment Every coun-
ty in the State was notified of its legal
authority to contribute $3.50 more,
than six months ago and several times
since, and curiously enough every
