crying out to the people to turn back.
The republican party took the advice
of John Sherman and crossed over the
bridge that lead to the resumption of
specie payment regardless of the pro-
test of Ben Butler, Sam Carey and
other fat currency republicans The
republicans followed VIM. Mckinley
and Mark Hanna across the bridge in
1896 that took them to the gold stand
ard side of the stream, but they left a
bunch of financial "reformers" behind
who could roar almost asloud as Frank
Harrison and the other editors who
met in Columbus the other day and
formed plans to discredit Senator Bur-
kett by disappearing the part he
took in the formation of the tariff act
at the special session of congress. The
republicans of Nebraska have faith in
President Taft and Senator Burkett.
The administration secured the best
law it could get under the circumstan-
ces, and while it is not satisfactory to
all, there is a feeling that the act
should be given a fair trial and the
president treated with common decen.

drafted the declaration Of independan.
&c and the constitution were inspired.
Inspiration from God does not neces.
sarily relate only to religious matters.
"Then you believe that what the
world at large calls . man Of genius
is an inspired man.
HE undoubtedly is blessed with un.
usual intelligence" replied the chap
lain, "divine knowledge that is given
specially to him. These thing are
happening from day to day. The time
of revelations is not past. It continues
through the years and that is Why the
sealed plates Of the remainder of the
book of Mormon may one day be re-
vealed."
In the course of his discussion of
the book of Mormon Rev. Huff called
attention to the fact that archaeologists
have found remains of the western
cities that are described in the book of
Mormon. These researches have been
carried on since the publication of the
book. The cities that are named in the
book we're built all along the western
coast of South America, in Ecuador
and in Central America.
II think that science confirms the
truth of the book of Mormon" said
Rev. Huff. "If one is disposed to not
believe it he must needs have hard
time disproving it."
During the reign of Hezekiah, &C
cording to the old testament, there was
q citizen of Jerusalem named Lehi.
He was directed to send his son abroad.
There were not Cooks tours nor tours
of education. 1t was up to the sons Of
Lehi to find place to live. Accord.
ing to the book of Mormon they final
" landed in America. From them
grew q race of men that was later Sc
parated into two great nations, the
Nephites and the Lemanites.
The Nephites were white, the La
NANTES were colored, and, according
to Rev. Mr.. Huff, who is regarded as
one of the authorities on the book of
Mormon in Nebraska, these same La.
NANTES were American Indians.
The church to which Rev. Mr.. Huff
belongs and the other branch, the
Utah church, are separated in name
only by the word "reorganized." AL.
though they differ widely in doctrine,
the name of the one is the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints y
But in the slang of religious controv-
ersy much more significant names are
used, the members of the reorganized
church being called "Josephites," from
their adherence to the homogeneous
doctrine of the original Joseph Smith,
and the members of the Utah church
being called "Brighamities," from their
Jealous loyalty to the polygamous
teachings Of Brigham Young. Rev.
Huff is distinctly "Josepbite."
The resolutions that have been pass
ed condemning his retention as chap
lain at the penitentiary have appear
emily been based on the assumption
that he is . "Brighamite. Lincoln

eourbons Played Out.

The Bourbons. in the old phrase,
learned nothing and forgot nothing -
and so they are played out. They do
not suit modern conditions. In the
old days they had produced the great
Condo and such monarchs as Henry
w. and Louis XIV. of France But
in the great crises of the last cen
fury they gave Europe only men like
Louis XVIII. of France, who ran
away to Belgium when Napoleon re.
turned from Elba, leaving his friends
to die for him in the Hundred Days:
like the infamous king "Bomba" of
the Two Sicilies and his son Francis.
whom Garibaldi so easily vanQuished,
and like the amiable connoisseur of
ballet performances who has just
passed away.
Modern Europe no longer cuts of
the heads of such would-be rulers by
divine right over better men, but 1t
sees no reason for intrusting to them
the difficult task of directing govern.

Rev. Mr.. Huff said that no such case
had appeared and that he did not know
just what would result. The control
Of the church is supposed to pass from
father to son. Joseph Smith, head of
the reorganized church has a large
family ofsons and the eldest will prob
ably succeed him as head Oft church.
Joseph F. Smith, the head of the
Utah church, also says that the head of
the church shall stay in one family,

Rev. Mr.. Huff, "but he is preaching
that his son shall succeed him while, as
. matter of fact, Smith himself is a de.

Smith, but of his brother"
Regarding the origin of the book of
Mormon. Rev. Huff expressed belief
in its inspired origin and also in the
legend that the translation was made
from plates Of brass, given Smith by
IN angel, who afterwards took the
plates away and who also failed to un.

1T is our belief that the rest of the
book of Mormon may one day be re-

EMPEROR HAS GREAT VITALITY.
Up Early and Late and Never Tires.

London, Sept. 29.-The recent maneuvers
must have made enormous demands on
the vitality and strength of the kaiser.
but he has shown that he Is we'll able to
bear them. 1t is not every man, officer or
private, who could stay up till in the
as the kaiser sometimes did, dis
cussing the details of the next days oper-
ations. and then rise again at to- start
out on a long days work in the saddle.
The explanation is to be found chiefly,
no doubt in the natural strength of the
kaiser's constitution. and in the next
place in his moderation in eating and
drinking. He enjoys breakfast Of the
solid English kind with tea and dish of
meat or fish, the latter being his favorite.
The ordinary Germans cup of coffee and
roll or two would never enable him to
get through the mental and physical labor
of the entire forenoon until lunch at
O'Clock.
Perhaps the majority of men in Ger
mary and certainly in the capital, where
mems nerves are most sorely tried, eat
little in the early part of the day and
most heartily in the evening. 1t Is other
wise with the kaiser, who eats heartily
at breakfast and. lunch. but very little in
the evening. In Germany this is consider
ed a sure sign of good health and solid
nerves.
One of the things that contribute to the
kaiser's good appetite is his moderation
in smoking. Three or four light cigars,
and these only when travelling. and half
dozen cigarettes of Turkish tobacco
form his customary daily dole.

BOWDoIN FOOTBALL MEN
INDULGE IN HARD PRACTICE.

Brunswick, Me-, Sent. 29.-(Special) !.
The hardest scrimmage of the season
was held on Whittier field this after
noon, Coach McCabe putting the men
through some needed hard work. AS
was expected. several charges have
been made in the Varsity lineup
Simpson, big Sophomore, but entire
ly new to football, was put in at left
guard. Simpson weighs about 100 and
has an ideal build for a guard and with
the speed and quickness which he has,
he should develop into a very strong
linesman
S Wilson, who played part of last sea-
son at Quarter, has Joined the squad
and fplayed in part Of the scrimmage
at fullback, showing speed and
strength, which chould clinch the place
for him. Farmer" Kerr's line buck
ing while on the second was perhaps
the feature Of the scrimmage. Towards
the last he was given chance in the
Varsity back field.
The second was given the ball nearly
all the time and made repeated gains
through the Varsity, besides working
the forward pass neatly for several
good gains. Wood '13. intercepted a
forward pass made. by the Varsity and
ran 60 yards for touchdown.
The Varsity scored once also by
straight football, carrying the ball the
entire length of the field.
