conversation tangent.
I'm afraid that 1 have none." said
Dayton, with a laugh that sounded
dreary in spite Of effort
II told you who mine was" remind
ed Freddy.
"But 1 can't tell you when 1 have
none" pleaded Dayton.
Freddy regarded him searchingly for
moment. His silent query seemed
to be answered, for he tossed his head.
IT can lend you Marjorie" he Of
fered. "She hasn't any real sweet
heart" OF ccur-e . lot CT men want
her to be their sweetheart, but she
gets tired of 'em so soon."
"That would be very NICE" said Day
ton politely.
II think I'd like you for brother"
said Freddy appraisingly. Il never
had big brother"
"They are great stuff, big brothers
| are" assented Dayton, and In spite of
himself a note Of eagerness crept into
his tones. Freddy nodded his head
| vigorously and, taking his place at the
| desk, laboriously composed a second
letter, while Dayton stared out Of the
window in moody reflection.
| Since his return from the Philippines
! he had hated himself for the weakness
| that seemed to set him apart from the
other men. He loved Marjorie Bay
ard more than ever, but Carver Car
son seemed to be the favored sutton.
Dayton's illness had made him actu-
ally sensitive, and he feared the con-
trast between himself and the buOyant
animalism Of Carson.
He was still looking out across the
snow covered street, wrapped In a deep
melancholy, when he heard Freddy out
in the hall speaking.
I'm going to take this across to the
hedge" he said. 'Is Mr.. Carson
| about?"
He will not interfere this time.'
said Marjorie, with a significant laugh
Even Mr.. Carson seems to realize
that the exhibition he made Of his
temper was very uncalled for. You
! can take your little letter out without
fear that he will trouble you, dear"
"Bess will be waiting" explained
Freddy, putting up his face to be
kissed, land. Marble, 1 told Mr.. Day
ton that he could have you for sweet
heart. He hasn't any, and you haven't
any. Is it all right:'
II don't think Mr. Dayton needs
your help when he searches for 9
sweetheart" said Marjorie. She had
not quite forgiven Dayton for his cool
ness since his return.
''Not his help. but his encourage
ment." corrected Dayton, swinging
around suddenly. He has convinced
me that even a wreck like myself may
aspire to happiness. But buoyed by
hope. Marjorie, l would soon be my
self again. i had not dared hope thai
you would care for me with stalwar
Carson always by your side"
'Mr. Carson" repeated Marjorie
with little shudder, IF you could
only have seen him a little while ago.
''Then l am doubly indebted to Fred

various important phases of Mormon history.
The scheme has ancient precedent Not only in

of a people linked with memorials of those places
recognized important elements in the record. and
celebrated by the people through the ages is in
teresting to reflect that this modest social affair
building already historic in the west, may be the
ginning of long line of memorials each borrowing
radiance from the past, and each serving as an in
centive for the future.
Our Mormon friends are to be commended for their
attention to the details Of history. They good

ing points have been made. AS Bethel has always
meant inspiration for the jew and as Marathon

1T is THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

One of the most constant iterations of our Ameri-
party friends is to the effect that the Republican
party of Utah is not really akin to the Republican
party of the nation They hold there is true Re
publicanism in the Utah party.
The claim hardly seems a sound one. The same
writer's and speakers who deny that honor the Re
publicans in control of the state insist that the
leaders of the American party in control it
would be true Republican party And yet the most
prominent and most powerful man in the American
party certainly left the Republican cause in 1S96-the
time that tried Republican souls. He may have had
reason, for there a of passionate political
prejudice against the policy of the national Repub-
lican party which could not be ignored in silver
state. But the fact is there.
Furthermore it will be observed that the leaders
of the Republican party in Utah are recognized by
the leaders of that party in the nation The President
of the United States accepts them Republicans.
The of the United States believes they are Re
pubcans. The national committee believes they are
Republicans. And reasonable beings will agree that
these better judges than the leaders of the cult
known as the American party of Salt Lake
And, furthermore there is a place of honor for
every honorable man in the Republican party-here
as everywhere else.

Since it went headlOng into error in Muvey's
case, is there any assurance it is any nearly

1t not the intention of the Tribune makers to
say word in defense of either Bransford Mulvey.
They didn't want to commend the mayor, and the
decent people in the party warned them not to
mend Muivey-the saoon-keeping boss of the tender
lon. But they have been driven from cover. They
are out in the open. BransfOrd and Mulvey now
canonized by the Tribune.
However. there is one thing they will not do: They
win not try to whitewash George Sheets. That would
be little too far beyond the limit Even it's fanatic
followers would not stand for that

MINISTER'S ARE uNesNERous.

A Miss Belle Bennett of Richmond, kentucky, is
president of the Womans Board of Home Missions;
and she has recently given out at a convention of
her eo-worSers interview expressing the belief
that women should be accorded the right Of equality
with men at the ballot box. And southern paper
prints the following comment by ministers:
Rev. c. c. Elliot, pastor of Wesley Monumental
church, who has been of Miss Benefits greatest
champions, has given interview in which he de-
cres it to have been very unfortunate that the lady
should have given expression to such views during
the time the convention was in progress.
Rev. ]. A. Harmon, presiding elder of the Val
dosta district who has attended all the meetings of
the board, declares it would be calamity for Miss
Odist church to prevail and he will fight against it,
The gentlemen ungenerous. How many times
have they opened a prayer meeting composed of all
men and no women? Never. How many times have
they held prayer meetings with all women. and no
men? Uncounted. untold, unknown times Have they
ever known men in numbers equaling the women to
attend the services of their churches? Not likely.
Do not the women make up the bulk of their church
memberships, and provide the majority of the funds
with which the church pays it way? Is there an ac-
tivity of the church in which the more
active and effective than their brothers?
There is a difference of opinion on the question
of woman suffrage. But it would seem that common
fairness would incline every minister the gospel
approve t-unless he forget all sense of justice
and generosity.

For seven games more than thirty thousand people

No sport in the world has a stronger grip on the
