1t seems that both candidates upon
the Republican national ticket are only
just barely removed from being actual
Vermonters. Mr.. Taft's father was a
native of Vermont, and Mr. Sherman S
grandfather was a wellknown captain
OF one of the early boats on Lake
Champlain. His name was Richard W.
Sherman and he was master of the boat

made trip upon the lake in 1912, and
which is recorded by the great novelist
in American Notes" Captain Sherman
died in Vergennes about 1867.

The Millionaire Class.

While great deal of American sympathy has been
bestowed on the woman known as Anna Gould since
her separation from scion of the decayed nobility
of France, it is not too late to retract And the
American people will quite generally reverse their
judgment that she is making spectacle of her
sci in combating family opposition to her marriage
to another decayed scion of the land of her rejected
husband
The Vanderbts, too are in the swim of domestic
noorety of the descendants of the old ferryman
having gone to Europe that his wife may conven-
iently divorce herself from him.
And then there is the pathetic Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
who had barely obtained footing in the millionaire
class when gossip landed her in the divorce court
After it is all over she will marry another and
the Vanderbilts will re-mate and Anna Gould will
succeed and affairs will be ripe for other domestic
infelictes.
Great wealth does not seem to bring the kind of
happiness that responds to the choice longings of
the human heart.

Banished to the Tropics.

Announcement is made by Utah newspaper that
Henry S. Tanner, spiritual guide to the children of
Mormon families in the mountain States and noto
ious polygamist, is about to move to Mexico arG
there engage in the fruit growing industry. 1t is
said that he has purchased about 5000 of laG
in the State of Sinaloa and that he will raise oranges
pineapples and bananas on his ample possessions
1t is about time for Mr. Tanner to emigrate. His
continuous adventures in the realm of matrirlory
render it difficult for the church to sustain the hc-
ton that it has abandoned polygamy, for he IS not
at all discreet when under the rapturous excitement
of a new love and scandals cluster about his pah-
way as one fair one after another succumbs lis
amorous advances.
Mexico is the mecca of the injudicious poygamists
of original Mormondom and there the colonies of
the church reekng with the sin that is adillJ2ed
a crime by the laws of those States that arc SO
nconsderate as to interfere with ones religion.
When Mr.. Tanner assemblies at his home the
several f1ocks that he is subssting in various States
and in Canada, the population of Mexico will enjoy
a noticeable increase and President Diaz will again
congratulate himself the official wisdom that pre-
ferred people to morals.
Some of the ardent Jack Mormons of Utah and
Idaho may recognize in the Punishment of Mr.
Tanner to the orange Businesses of the tropics further

would maintain judicious silence.
Mr.. Tanner has done we'll in the accumulation of
wives and wealth. Many a hard working Mormon is
denied by poverty the joys of the harem and the
possession of thousands of acres of productive soil
His experience afhrms the obvious fact
that those who Give their religion" fearlessy with
out placing undue stress upon the teachings Of the
manifesto, become prosperous on earth and 1uhcr1t

has doubtless been given his celestial credentials

He would have been ideal devotee of the
prophet had he been willing to the Lord in
less conspicuous way Polygamy is not repreheno1be
in the estimation of the hierarchy, But Dragging
about it is more than the church stand just
So it is better that Brother Tanner should seek the
oblivion of royal plantation in an alien land, where
everything goes along with ones religion.

selling industry and Zion gained much profit there
from during the years of his absolutsm.
Now, in the moments of its holy endeavor, the
church putting forth statements, with its usual
abandon of the truth, that the vice of intemperance
crept into the sacred valley under the auspices of
the ungodly Gentle it being about the only thing
that Mormon force could not cope with, though it
had Danites and plains riders and other assassns
galore in those days.
But number of those residents of Salt Lake
City who carry the persecution of Mormonism on
account of its religion to an extreme are reproduc-
ing the proceedings of the municipal council of the
pioneer period and it is shown therein that saloon

Reproduction of early day views about the city
shows that the Zion cooperative saloon was one of
the features of expanding commercial activity.
The reincarnated prophet could do a good work
among his own by opening to them the highway of
sobrety for in spite of denial of the record of past
and current excuses, the saints strongly in
clined to a demoralizing vice other than that of
polygamy.
Some of them have been recently advised by speak
ing elders to free themselves from the tyranny of
alcohol along with pool and billiards, and to quit
swearing. There appears to be enough of field for
reformatory effort within the Mormon establish
ment to warrant the president in exploiting a new
virtue, that he may gain applause and advantage
among the critical Gentiles of the States whom he
is endeavoring to propitiate.
