charged with the deliberate stealing of ditch funds
and was made to disgorge $4,000 of the amount
he unlawtully appropriated to his Arthur
W. Hart, another officer, who was secretary of the
company, is charged with appropriating about
$4,000 to his use unlawfully He is the president
of the Young Mems Mutual Improvement associa-
ton, and in 1908 was married in polygamy by
Apostle Merrill to daughter of A. D. Henderson
of Preston Henderson is the president of the
Oneida Ditch company and is accused of putting up
$4,000 in ditch bonds, which he borrowed that
sum from the local bank. The bank by Judge
Rolapps committee, is commanded to return the
bonds to the corporation. Young Miss Henderson
was the companyS stenographer and she is now
generally accepted Harris plural wife at Pres
ton.
George M. Cannon of Salt Lake is drawn into
the scandal. He is said to have agreed to float
$333,O00 of the ditch bonds at par, and his pro-
posa is of record. The ditch officers paid him 10
per cent to do so, and he is being held for
$4,000 alleged to have been illegally procured Can
non is accuesd of unloading 100000 of the bonds on
the lions Savings bank of which he was cashier
1t is now stated that he asked to retire from
the bank when it became known he had received
who claim to know the facts say President Joseph
F. Smith, also the bank president would not stand
for Cannon'S transactions.
Now it is reported the validity of the bond issue
will be attacked and that it can be shown that the
bonds were illegally sold.
The scandal has become so widespread that there
is likelihood that President Parkinson will be re-
moved as president Of the Oneida stake His crime
otherwise will be condemned He was removed as
things. He is denounced by his neighbors in the
severest fashion, and the wonder is that he is per-
mtted his freedom and is unslorn of his ecclesias-
teal office.

A Dark Skinned Convert.

Three Mormon missionaries who debarked from
ship at San francisco a month ago, having
sailed from far off islands of the sea- brought with
them Samoan girl about eighteen years of age
They said they taking her to Salt Lake to be
educated in Mormon school, school using text
books that contain the plural wife revelation and
many chapters advocating and defending poygamy
If this dark skinned representative of an alien race
becomes Thoroughly" educated in the school to
which the missionaries have consigned her. she will
believe, the day of her graduation that no
woman IS permitted to enter into the joys of
heavenly hereafter who is not plural wife of one
of the Lords anointed.
Unless she believes she will be entirely certain
to land in the clutches of his satanic majesty the
instant her spirit departs from its earthly tenement
else the school that is to develop her barbarous
mind is teaching error.
Before the German authorities at Samoa would
permit the Mormon missionaries to transplant this
exotic from its island home to the empire of the
saints, they exacted contract which stipuates that
the girl shall be returned to Samoa whenever the
German governor demands her return and that she
is not to enter the plural marriage relation showing
shoulders.
Still it is not clear to the Mormon missionaries
how the governor is going to enforce the contract,
the girl being of age and the Mormon church
being irresponsible establishment So they are
not likely to make any special effort to keep Tanner
and Joseph F. Smith away from her and she may
yet inherit choice seat in the eternal abode.

After the republican newspapers had enjoyed
themselves to the limit the reply of Mr.
Hearst to Mr. Gompers' cablegram, Mr.. Gompers
held up his hand and announced that he had some
thing to say And then Mr.. Gompers informed the
expectant public that he had sent no cabegram to
Mr.. Hearst, consequently there could be no reply
by Mr. Hearst to cablegram from him. "Aha !"
said the public, that's different"

Taft Organ Says Bryan's Ar
guments Must Be Met.

Mr.. Bryan dearly loves the excite
ment, the travel. the hard work OF 4
political campaign. He Is second to
none as an efficient campaigner. His
program for September reads like the
itinerary OF "one-night stand" thea.
trical troupe. From the 9th to the
2sth he will sleep and eat ION the
road" and probably make 20 or 80
speeches. He has strong personal
ity; his years before the public have
transformed him into a hugely popu-
lar parsonage, whom people want to
see and hear. irrespective Of political
inclinations; his oratory is always ef-
fective.
To Offset the influence OF Mr.. Bry-
ans vigorous, enthusiastic campaign
making we look TO see the Republican
managers put forth their best efforts.
Some of his arguments are plausible,
all are made effectively. They need
10 be met. Not all. or nearly all. the
people who hear Bryan and applaud
him are going to vote for him, Of
course. But he is out for the votes.
We do not believe he will get more
than his normal share. which is the
smaller share, but the Republicans
cannot afford to let their opponent do
all the spectacular campaign work.
Political traditions here favor a lively
campaign. with lots OF oratory and
music. Mr.. Taft did we'll to pause on
his way TO the fishing grounds TO
make a few lucid. forceful speeches.
His arguments always carry greater
weight than Bryan's.-New York

1.-THE MAN WHO STOLE THE EARTH"


ever, far too true to be doubted for
long, and it was soon established by
cable from Budapest that the legend
OF the Ring of Nissa was at least a
genuine tradition.
Records OF the only attempt which
had ever been made TO solve the mys-
terry of those tremendous hills were
unearthed. and the story OF the daring
climb. made 16 years before, was set
forth in every detail.
The establishment and excitement
were also increased by the fact that
the Daily Wireless announced that X
would continue to publish particulars
OF the career OF Mr.. Strong, who on
every hand was already called. either
in jest or halfseriously, The Man
Who Stole the Earth
The people of London were so
thrown off their balance that the
streets OF the west end recalled Mafe-
king night. Why the people gathered
in scores OF thousands along the
Strand, down the Mall. and round
Buckingham Palace and eastward
round the Mansion House. no man,
not even the psychologists could say.
But there they were, eager. and
shouting, and excited, as Londoners
had never before been excited. They
had nothing 10 do, very little TO say,
and practically nothing 10 think Of ex-
cept the mysterious and vanished per-
sonality of the man who swore that
be would steal the earth.
The effect on the United States was
scarcely less, and Europe was moved
as though by some great catastrophe.
In every capital the different en-
bassIes were exchanging messages
with headquarters, while the heads OF
the different states held hurried coun-
ellis OF war. They were nervous, and
yet entirely ashamed Of their nervous
ness; for as yet there was no real
cause to imagine that the world stood
in any peril.
But Strongs threats, coupled with
! his actual performance, to some ex-
tent justified the anxiety.
In Bomberg the King OF Bahama
was completely taken aback. and on
receipt OF the news he cabled to
Prince Ludwig to return TO Bahama
at once
In his own businesslike room he sat
hour after hour, smoking cigar after
cigar, turning and twisting and weigh
ing the whole affair in his mind.
Once ne suffered almost little pang
OF fear. and he rose from his chair.
straightened himself and went over to
the window and gazed out.

uge. And as the hours went on. and
at such time every hour seemed like
a day. the perplexity grew more COM
plete and the theories and the guesses
more wild.
Then came the utterly staggering
news OF the finding of Aero from the
pen OF Miss Hunt, and the machines
OF the Daily Wireless pounded and
whirred, not only till breakfast time,
but all through the forenoon, and had
not ceased their output of the wonder
ful story when evening came.
Mr.. Sharp was beside himself with
Joy. and even the placid Miss Hunt
was in the seventh heaven or journal

Journalism had such a scoop been
known.
Regardless OF libel, thousands OF
people shouted by word OF mouth and
