ANOTHER REV. ouTBuRsr.

The ST. Paul Pioneer Press of octo-
Der 10 contains what purports TO DC
Il synopsis OF an address on Utah con-
Sditions delivered at tho Central Prespy-@
terrain church, on the nth Of october,
by DR.. Robert M. Stevenson, president
Of the Westminster college, Salt Lake
City. According to the reports, the
reverend gentleman made q number OF
statements OF such 4 nature as to war
rant the conclusion that, either through
Ignorance or malice, lie bore false WI
hess against his neighhors. We know
not whether, in the ethical conceptions
of the reverend gentleman this Is con-
5sidercd 81 very grave offense, but ac-
cording to the infalllble Word of the
Lawslvcr, "whosocver shall Keep the
whole law, and yet offend in one point,
he is guilty of ALL
Dr. Stevenson plead for sympathy for
the rank and file of the Mormon people
.,on the ground that they are deluded
into "Reminiscences, and he quoted tho
Tribune as proof of that, which is
about as rational as it would DC 10
quote the rawlings of a delirium patient
in proof of accusations against the
character and honor of DR.. stevenson
The speaker, according 10 the report,
elaborated on "the great influence the
church exerts upon the politics OF the
people. and said that the church con-
Z trolls absolutely the votes of the Nor
mons He then made an assault upon
the school system of Utah in the fol-
lowing statement:
THE Mornons have three institu-
tons of higher learning, and in these
there are nearly LOCO students. Every
teacher is n Mormon and every pupil
Il must take y course in the theology OF
{ the Mormon Church. The teachers OF
the public schools are recruited from
Utah but also In the entire intermoun-
tain region. Against this the evangelical
churches have twenty-four mission
schools, eight academies and one coll
lege. The Presbyterians control four
academies and the college, the West
only Christian college for the QUO
people in the interlnountain region
What do the people here who know
the conditions think of that statement?
The teachers of the public schools are
recruited from these Mormon tnstitu.
tions., Is that true, or is 1t one of
the half-truths which by reason of its
being only half, is an unqualified false
hood Further, The Westminster is
b. the only Christian college for the 7Oo..
600 people in the interlnountain region. j
WHAT sbout All Iiallows college, NOT to
mention any of the institutions of the
Church? DR.. Stevenson is on record as

saying that that college is not Chris
tian. Clearly the bigotry that stoops
to assaults upon the Lattcr-day Saints
Church is only awaiting an opportunity
OF carrying Its warfare against other
churches.
Bur the following capped the climax
of the fnlsehood:
'The Mormons are kept in dire pop-
erty by the Church, as they must pay

dition must contribute to many other.

money is sent to the president, who

rendered. The entire statement of Dr..
Stevenson on the tithing of the Church
Is rubbish, as can be figured out from

We believe Dr. Stevenson will feel
ashamed over the report of his adj
dress, when he secs it In print.
But, let lis ask, Ia it not time to
cease slandering Utah and telling false
hoods about her people for pious pur-
poses? Is it not time to take a new
course and work for harmony, good
feelings and peace? We say shame on
every Utah citizen who goes abroad with
malice in his heart, but double shame
upon the heads Of the mallgners who
hide under sacred title and in a pulpit
to the gospel of the Re-
deeiner! II there are differences, let
them be aired and settled at home A
little patriotism and some statesman

AMERICAN COAL FOR SPAIN,

year were higher than In any year
since the boom of 1900. The year be-
gan with a rise of about a shilling

December, and steadily increased until
the beginning of September, when ru-

THE FATHER OF WATERS.

r ) " ri T.. E - e . 4.
Fourteen years ago Congressman
Lorimer decided to make the con-
struction OF a waterway from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf or Mexico.
The project was quite generally pro-
nounccd visionary and impossible.
After six years OF construction work.
the Congressional committee on rivers
and harbors was induced to add to
the appropriations for internal i'm
proyements the sum OF 100000 to
make a survey from st. Louis to the
end of the Chicago drainage canal.
When tho survey was completed it
appeared probable that the waterway
from Chicago to the city OF st. Louis
could be constructed at cost OF
$31 100000. Congress cannot afford,
however, to vote SO much money to
one locality for this purpose. 1t be-
came problem to be solved outside
or Congress. Three years ago Mr.
Loriiner built Small boat and in
duced his fellow-members from Illi-
nois to go With him on a trip of
organization down through the valley
in this little boat from Lake Michigan
to the Gulf of Mexico. They passed
out of Lake Michigan into the Chi
cago river, down into the Illinois and
Michigan canal. through the Illinois
river and down into the Mississippi,
travelling only in the day time, stop
ping ut every hamlet, town, village,
and city. and there organized Lakes
to the Gulf Deep Water Way associa-s
tons until they came to the great city
of ST. Louis, and there they We're met
by the leaders Of all the commercial
associations of that city.
The very next year the great Lakes
to the-gnlf water way convention was
held in the city of Memphis, attended
by over 5000 delegates. more than
$50 members Of Congress. eighteen
! Mississippi valley state Governors,
thirty-two United States Senators, and
| the President of the United States
all assembled there to indorse this
| great project.
The resolutions passed by the re-
cent waterway convention at Chicago
strongly endorsed the project. which
is now believed to be III a fair way
for realization.
