\ WORD FOR CONGO.

The Congo Reform association. with
headquarters in Boston has Just issued
| another statement in which it is al
legged that the Congo situation remain
essentially as deplorable as 1t was H.
1905 when the report of the awful
crueltles practised in that part NJ Ar

United States, who may feel interested
III the cause OF humanity and civiliza

pamphlet OF the reform association t.
write personal letters to Secretary
Root and also TO senators and con-
gressmen, asking our government to
secure, IL possible, international action
for the prevention Of further cruelty
The United States, 1t is pointed out

OF Berlin. 1885, but 1t was a full sigma
tory Of the act OF Brussels in 1890,
which was a renewal and modification

A year ago a resolution was adopted
by the Senate, authorizing the Presi-

the Free State. Al the time that the
resolution was adopted, 1t was expected
that Great Britain would shortly Issue

But King Leopold succeeded in secur-
ing further delay by having the an-
ncxation project brought up in Bel

called upon to postpone any interven-

TO annexation. And thus delay was
substituted for action.

RACE SUICIDE.

Elsewhere IN this imprint OF the
News" we qnnto Cardinal Gibbons on
trace suicide" and expressions Of To-
cal clergymen and others on the same
subject.
Our ngc is suffering from many evils.
Rebellion Is rampant in the home and
in the state. II proceeds in fact from
the home and penetrates society in all
its branches. The divorce evil Is ho-
verlng over the American home like a
threatening cloud. Marriage has be-
come almost farce IN many in
stances, MS is evident from the freak"
marriages which the daily press re-
ports,
Some months ago man in New
York and IA woman IN st. Lotus were
married by long-distance telephone.
a short time afterwards the woman
brought suit for divorce. The hero
wedding in Indiana soon quarreled and
parted other cases OF marrying in
balloons and on railway trains, and
repentiug on terra firrna have been
called to the public attention. We have
heard OF marriages in lions dens, in
submarine boats. in fast-flylng auto
mobiles and deep down in coal mines,
and somebody proposed wedding GER
emony on the topmost pinnacle of a
New York skyscraper, nearly 700 feet
above the ground. Marriage has be-
come farce to many, with the result
that the home. the fountain of all that
is sacred to society and the nation, is
being destroyed
There are many other evils, such as
the drink habit and the dissertation of
the Sabbath. but none is crying louder
TO high heaven than the crime OF race
suicide" We are pleased to see that
prominent men Of all faiths are prac-
tically unanimous on that question. A
national awakening Is needed. We are
bothefing about minor blenishes while
the life blood of the nation is ebblng
away. 1t looks as II the Enemy of
mankind had inspired his servants to
make a great noise about a Mormon
problem" while the real problem is the
murder of unborn babes, by the mil
lions.

DECLINES A CORONATION.

Gustave v. the new king of Sweden,
is said to have declined to go through
the coronation ceremony, on the ground
that such fummery is against the spir-
II of our age.
His father. the late King Oscar,
thought differently. When he succeed
ed 10 the throne. after his brother,
the Norwegian liberals raised the ques-
ton Of coronation and suggested that
the ancient custom be abolished. os-
car replied that he was going to be
crowned in the cathedral at Trondhjom.
If he had 20 pay for the expenses out
OF his own private purse. and he was
crowned, both In Sweden and Norway.
But this was over thirty years ago.
Times change.
We believe the new king, by declin-
ing to take part in a coronation cere-
mony has endcared himself to o
great portion of the Swedish people 1t
proves him 10 be true 10 the princi-
pies OF democracy, as opposed TO aris-
tocraey II proves him to be sincere
and not given to empty show. And,
above ali. It indicates that he considers
his kingly office independent OF the dig
nitarles of the established church
with this keynote TO his reign, the
prospects are excellent for continued
harmony between the people and the
| monarch.
King Gustave Is very different both
In character and physique. from his
father Oscar was most genial In his
royalty and possessed IN a very
marked degree that peculiar charm
of manner which the French so graphi-
cally describe as "sympat lque," King
Gustave is said 10 be reserved In his

conveys the notion Of naughty arro-

\ GOOD PRAYER.

The following is part Of the prayer
offered the other day by the Chaplain
on the opening Of the House of Rep
resentatives;
Good Lord deliver us, we beseech
Thee from the lingo, the demagoguc,
the bigot and all other undesirable
citizens, and give us instead the patri-
OF, the statesman, the broad minded,
generous, manly man, that Thy king
dom come and Thy will be done IN
earth as 1t is in heaven"
1t seems that. contrary TO all prece-
dents, this prayer was loudly applaud
cd, and this fact is, perhaps, even mora
significant than the petition itself. But
men in public life realize better than
others. that jingoes. demagogues and
bigots. whenever they become lnilu-
entail. are the most serious obstacles
to the establishment upon earth of
that Kingdom which means peace and
good will.
The prayer for the victory OF the
patriot, the statesman, the broad
generous. manly man over the
lemagogue, is one in which every cit
izcn, from coast to coast, should join.
We need the patriotic statesman 10
deal with the great questions at issue
between capital and labor; currency
and immigration problems; the crini-
nal tendencies that prevail very largely;
and every other burning question of
the day and hour. Selfish bigots who
can see nothing beyond their own
narrow horizon cannot grapple with
any of these difficulties. SO the
prayer is ono to which all good eitl-
.ens can heartily respond. But prayer
alone does not avail. Prayer, like
faith, must be followed by works Of

FEEDING THE HUNGRY.

1t is good to see the people Of any
community stand together in an hour OF
need to any portion. however small, and
therefoe It is pleasing to note that the
hungry men OF Salt Lake now have a
place where they can line up in the
morning and at noon for food
That the move for free soup kitchen
was opportune is abundantly proved by
the number Of applicants, their general
appearance as sturdy laboing men. and
the well understood fact that there is
no place where these laboring men can
turn to receive employment. That their
brothers, more fortunately fixed
through working In lines not affected
this winter as was that OF the lahorer,
have come to their help to say that they
should not suffer too keenly for food,
is a matter to command admiration.
Capt. Mccoy of the Volunteers Of
America, who assumed responsibility
for the move, we understand, Is receiy-
ing liberal support from merchants.
business men, and bankers This in
sures the success of the kitchen while
the necessity to operate IT remains.
From present indications this VIII not
be for more than two weeks. as spring
work is about to begin In several i'm
portant industries. But whether the
time is short or long, the public will
see that the hungry are fed until an
opportunity for the laboring class to
earn a livelihood again is offered.

A SERMONET FOR WORKERS
lFOr the News" by H. j. Hapgooa.

[For the News" by II. j. Hapgood. !
Men or women--which? That is the
first question confronting the employer
who wants his stenographic work done
economically and WELL It's a big ques-
ton, too. and one that ought not to be
considered settled by the mere fact
that the bulk of this work is today
done by women.
Stenography opened the office door
for women, and young and old they
rushed In to take up this clean, pleas,
ant employment for which they are in
many ways adapted. Once inside they
we're not slow TO extend their field of
activity 10 bookkeeping, correspondence
and other lines which for years had
been exclusively for men.
Today over 100000 women are employ
ed in New York downtown offices, and
in every city they are to be found in
the thick of the commercial fight. The
Introduction of stenography and type
writing was the original cause of this
feminine invasion.
OF late years, however, the tide seems
to be turning. There is a growing be-
lief that men make better stenograph-
ers than women and are worth the
larger salaries they command. Many
large companies have adopted the poll
Icy of using only male stenographers
and others are planning to take the
step in the near future.
