what seemed to be good authority that Mormons
derived their best ideas regarding irrigation from
the Mexicans during the Mexican war. Where
therefore, the evidences of Brigham Young's en-
gineering ability? Why do not Mr. Hubbard and
others give actual examples of such ability in
stead of SO many mere statements? Irrigation has
long been practced in California also.
Mr. Hubbard also tells us that "The Mormons
made money faster than it has been made in
the history of the world; irrigation did it." If
Mr.. Hubbard had taken the trouble to post himself
he would not have been likely to have made that
statement. If he makes the rapid accumulation of
wealth evidence of uprightness there are prob
ably people in Denver San Francisco and elsewhere
who have this questionable evidence of integrity in
much more striking form than has any Mormon citi-
zen of Salt Lake City, except those who have been
extorting tithing from their too creduous followers
by an unscrptural means really bright" man
would never select such test of uprightness, any
way. The who is able to secure a productive
piece of land for example, is likely to get rich more
quickly than his neighbor who has only been able
to secure land which is comparatively barren; but
these facts have nothing whatever to do with their
morality AS to getting rich quickly by other means

MORGAN ID RESCUE
 OF ER|E RAILROAD Financier Organizes Syndicate
 to Save Disaster I,ARRlMAN FAXES A HAND Personal Fortune and Treasury of the IIpion parific Road Are Piedded
HARTMAN TAXES A HAND
Personal Fortune and Treasury of the Union Pacific Road Are Pledged By Hartman To Pull Erie
 Out ia Deep Hole.

New York, April 4.-(Special.)-J. P. that a syndicate had been formed to pro- vide the Erie railroad with all the money necessary to meet it's obligations and pre- vent receivership Circulars were issued stating the terms of the bankers and ask ing creditors of the Erie to bring in ther notes for exchange not later than Wednesday, on which day they fall due. Notes to the amount of $15,000,0oO are to be issued under authority secured about q week ago from the public service com mission. They are to run for three years and carry 6 per cent interest The Erie Railroad company has deposited to secure them bonds of the face value of S12,000, UO0 and of the present market value of 5000, GOO. Of these notes s5,5oo,000 will be is- sued in exchange for an equal volume of notes falling due next Wednesday. J. F. Morgan & Co., as bankers for the syndl- cate will purchase S5,00o,000 of the notes at par for cash, thus putting into the treasury of the Erie money enough to meet all obligations of the railroad this summer. This leaves s4,50O,Oo0 of notes In reserve for contingencies.
 1t is a condition precedent to the pay ment of the $5,00o,00o by the syndicate that all of the outstanding notes be exchanged for the new notes. Owners of these notes are known, and 1t is understood that they are all willing to make the exchange. They get instead of their unsecured notes a note that is secured up to 90 per cent of it's face and that will probably be paid in full at maturity. This announcement ends all uncertainty in Wall street.
 Edward II. Hartman is understood to have been the chief influence in prevent ing receivership. His friends say lie pledged his personal fortune not to men tion the treasury of the Union Pacific Railroad company in behalf of the Erie. The Morgan people have been represented as worrying over rumor that Hartman planned to get control of Erie in behalf of Union Pacific. Most of the rumors and re- ports have been false.
 The report that Erie would be saved was not made official until after the close of the stock market. but it was known in the street and in the Standard oil oi- fees and among the Morgan brokers. John D. Archbold E. IT. Hartman Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and some of the New York Central interests were said to be buying stocks freely in anticipation of the an nouncement.

Illinois NH Soon Decide the
 Liqlor Question l.
GREAT ENERGY DISPLAYED
Next Tuesdays Vote Will Be, Only the Skrmsh, and Anti-Prohibitionsts
 Say the Matter Will Be
 Decided In November.

Chicago. April 4.--Today saw the formal but not the actual closing of one of the most spectacular and vigor ous campaigns waged in this state since the civil war. The sole issue had been the licensed saloons and in S4 of the 102 counties of Illinois the voters will be called upon Tuesday to decide whether the dram shops shall con tinue their existence within the con tricts defined by the state law which became effective July 1, 1907. About 1150 of 1905 townships of the state and about 1500 cities and villages are af- fected. In addition, the saloon ques- tion,' has reached seven other counties In one form or another.
 The closing days of the campaign which has been waged practically since last November, have been marked by many unusual features. The Anti-Sa- loon league has made most of it's fight with the churches and schools as nuclei and as consequence women and children have played leading parts in many communities.
 The saloon and brewery interests have worked with unfiagging energy. Speakers have been imported and mass meetings have been held nightly. Per sonal Liberty" leagues have been or ganized to combat the prohibition or ganization.
 Both sides are claiming victory to- tight. Alonso E. Wilson, ( airman of slfe 1llionis prohibition committee, sail in a formal statement:
 "It is probable that more than 5000 saloons will be put out of business an1 less than 5000 square miles in this state licensed. Fifty counties will be dry and the anti-saloon majority Tn popular vote will be more than 100000.
 Yet, the Tuesday vote will be only a skirmish. The real battle will be fought in November. The country districts are crying clean up Chicago and state pro- hibition will be the issue of the next struggle Daniel Lobe. president of the Travelling Mems Liberty league, has this to say:
 The public is beginning to realize that temperance is one thing, abstinence is another and that coercion, at which these so-called reformers aim, is a third, Our men report that many towns are in fear of having their leading industries threat ened by the enactment of sumptuary laws which will harm glass works, wood- working establishments and kindred in stitutons to say nothing of breweries and distilleres.
 ''I am confident that citizens will think twice before being carried away by these reformers who seek to destroy and offer nothing in return
 "They are learning that taxes will be raised in some cases as high as 33 per cent and that prohibition, as enforced fin Maine. Kansas and some of the south ern states. has been a potent factor in the increase of crime and in the consump- ton of the viest kinds of liquors. They are learning. too, that the prohibitionist is narrow, stubborn and selfish, adyocat- ing his conception of reform solely TOT the purpose of furthering his own ends
