WHAT Mr.. MecRAcKEN THINKS
OF BELLE.

Our friend, Representative Nc
Cracken from Weber county, whose
bill, No. 81, was the basis of much
discussion in the lower house OF the
Utah legislature Friday when asked
by MIR. Holman, Isn't a fact, Mr.. Nc
Cracken, that Belle London runs poll
tics in Ogden" he pleaded guilty to
the accusation.

the present:
If it Is true Belle London runs poll

Is IL not, that Belle London can point
TO the ownership OF those who are in
politics in Ogden?
Perhaps you will say no with the
mental reservation that there are two
sides to politics, one the successful
and the other the unsuccessful. There
fore to preclude the possibility OF
your evading the direct question in
that way, we will ask:
Is it not true that Belle London can
claim as her own those who succeed
in politics in Ogden?

weighed the full significance OF this

MORMONISM AS SEEN BY
A PRESBYTERIAN.

The Literary Digest or last Issue
devotes a page to the criticism or
Mormon doctrine, particularly the
statements of B. H Roberts on the
translation of the Book OF Mormon.
Without attempting to enter into the
controversy. we reproduce the article.
Mr.. Roberts, no doubt, will reply. The
article is as follows:
A leader Of the Mormon church. MT.
Brigham II Roberts, is represented
by Rev Livingston Smith in The
Presbyterian, to have uttered a re-
pudiation Of the old mechanical"
theory of the translation of their sac
red book Mr., Smith bases his asser-
tlonS on statements which he repre-
sents Mr.. Roberts as making in his
recent Defense OF the Faith and or
the Saints" They are that 1T is no
use resisting the matter; the old inc
chanicaD theory must be abandoned.
for "to advance 1t before Intelligent
and educated people is to unnecessary

who advocate it candidates for con-
tempt" No doubt the Mormons them
selves will repudiate the extreme as
sumptions of this critic regarding tho
Importance of these concessions. The
mechanical" theory OF the transla-
ton of the Book or Mormon, Mr..
Smith asserts, has been exclusively
and continuously announcec ana de-
Tended by the 'infallibly inspired
priesthood of the Mormon church,
from the inception of the church until
the recent overwhelming lombard
ment of the Mormon citadel by the
congressional investigation OF the
Smoot case in Washington, two years
ago" Mr. Roberts VIII be remem-
bered as the Mormon leader who was
elected to congress, and excluded
from that body because he had three
wives. Mr.. Smith thus states briefly
the theory that he says has now been
definitely abandoned:
What Is popularity known as the
mechanical theory or process, or us
ing the Seer Stone and the Urim ana
Thummim, is that Joseph Smith
locked at the golden plates through
them, with his face covered so as 10
exclude the light, and that he beheld
two lines of characters, the upper
line being those characters upon the
golden plates (said to be Reformed
Egyptian), and the other, or lower
line. being the English translation
Of the same that these words or
English translation would remain un.

them and his scribes had correctly

of the fact that the authors of the

THE EARTH's DESTRUCTION.

When Percival Lowell, the astrono-
mer, made the statement that the
Garth was in danger OF colliding with
some large astral body and thus be
destroyed. the Standard said Mr.. Low
ell might be. aware OF an Impending
danger, but the orderly system of the
heavenly bodies seemed to stand
against the astronomers prediction.
Now comes William II. Pickering OF
Harvard Astronomical observatory
who says such an event as that pre-
dicted by Perciyal Lowell Is not to be
considered possible. lie explains that
the solar system, in its journey
through space. may come close enough
to some dark body as to cause a dis
turbance in the orbital motion OF plan
cts and perhaps carry some of them,
the earth included, into space. But,
he adds, the entire danger Is so
remote, however that there need be
NO pSPoARl aPPl dOOul H..
Agreeing with much that Prof. Pick
ering says. we still fail to understand
how a dark body is to so upset the
solar system as to throw any of the
planets into space, unless that dark
body be of proportions so great as to
be immeasurably larger than the Iarg-
est group of astral bodies.
There are centripetal and centrif-
ugal forces constantly In operation
which act on all the heavenly bodies
and tend TO overcome any disturbance
which might be caused by the dark
body of which Lowell makes such ter.
