HOPELESS EXPECTATIONS

An Associated Press dispatch from
New York gives the purport of state
ment said to have been made by Mrs
Augusta Z. Stetson, who was formerly
a director of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist, of that city. Mrs. Stetson
is represented as having said she fully
expected the late Mrs Eddy to rise
from the dead. and to reveal herself to
all the world as resurrceted being.
1t is strange what curious beliefs may
be introduced into the human mind
through the medium of religion 1t
seems that Mrs. Stetson goes so far as
to place Mrs, Eddy upon footing
practically equal to that occupied by
the Savior of Mankind. OF course,
the lady is not the only person in these
days to tread dangerously near to the
border Of blasphemy in this respect.
With many of the members of the Nor
mon church, for instance, 1t is COM
mon thing to give Joseph Smith equal
place with the Christ. Some of the
more enthusiastic for many years be-
licved that Joseph would rise from his
tomb and mingle again with his breth-
rcn. With the passage Of the years and

the accompanying failure of the re-
vived Joseph to appear among the saints
the belief degenerated to a mildcr form.
1t was declared as salve to the
wounds of the disappointed ones that
the prophet would not como among
his people in their daily life. but that
in due time he would appear before a
select few in the temple. This having
also failed, the fanatical determined to
have some sort of comfort out of their
unrewarded faith, anyway; and so they
declared that Joseph had already ap-
peared to the first presidency and the
twelve apostles in the temple, and that
he was to be expected no more until the
morning of the first resurrection, when
he would be on hand to pass the saints
through the pearly gates by identify
ing them to the gate keeper.
Perhaps Mrs. Stetson and others who
believe with her gather solace from the
thought that their late leader will re-
turn to them; and in that sense they
should not be begrudged the comfort;
but it would be better for all around,
we believe, if n common sense view of
the matter were taken, so that the
world at large would be induced to re-
spcct rather than TO scoff

THE MURDER LAW"

The "murder law which Attorney
General Albert l.. Barnes asked to have
repealed. is subdivision 4 of Sec. 4l6S
of tho Compiled Laws, which, treating
of cases where homicide is lustifable,
reads as follows;
When committed In a sudden heat OF
passion caused by the attempt OF the
deceased TO commit raSc upon or TO
defile The wife. daughter. sister. mother,
or or b 9he accnsas emse resye bS
has actually been committed.
Mr.. Barnes thinks that the common
law would meet all the requirements
that this statute is provided to cover,
and would do it better than the statute
does His idea is that the law allows
the escape of many men who ought not
to escape under the idea which is sought
to be carried out in the statute. He
cites the case of Captain Mills, who
shot Chief Engineer o 'Melveny of the
Oregon Short Line, as one in which the
statute worked objectionably. 1t is
quite true, as the Attorney General
says. that there was a great deal of
criticism Of that case, especially as
Captain Mills and his wife went to liv-
ing together again right away after
Mills IS acquittal. Still, there does not
appear to have been any reason to doubt
the truth of Mrs. Mills : testimony in
that case. Mills aud O'Meveny had
been close friends, and Mrs. Mills was
,o,} ~ fl,
the alleged iransgression occurred. SO
far as that side of it is concerned, con
ceding Mrs. Mills s testimony to have
been true, there was added to the main
offense the violation of hospitality
which that offcnsc would imply But,
on the other hand it is quite true, as
Mr. Barnes says, that Mills did not kill
o 'Melvcny in the sudden heat Of pas
sion. And a good many people besides
Mr. Barnes agree with him that Cap.
tain Mills should not have received the
lenity that he did. but should have been
convicted of some grade of homicide
Still, as long as the community fce,-
ing is what it is on this question, no
the Legislature to repeal this statute.
In many States it is the "unwritten
law" in this State it is tho written
law" But if we are to have prin-
ciple like this prevail in the courts,
perhaps it is just AS we'll to have it
in the statutes as to have the statutes
overridden by sentiment which they
| ignore.

THE TEACHERS ADJOURN.

The session of the State Teachers
city was by far the best attended and
the most important it ever held. Almost
twenty fve hundred teachers registered
as attendants. and the interest in the
session was kept up to the last. Many
important addresses were made, and,
for the most part, those addresses were
worthy Of the occasion,
Some important reports, too. were
made; notably the one which urged the
introduction of industrial training into
the grades and the teaching of activi.
ties such as children will be called upon
to engage in when they leave the school,
This was a highly important and COM
mendable report. We should be glad
to see the ideas set forth therein spread
widely and take more and more actual
practical form,
Another important report was the
one which was made upon children who
arc apparently deficient in capacity.
This report was comprehensive and was

examination of pupils to ascertain if
possible the cause of the deficiency TO
see whether it is caused by something
which is durable or not. There are
many forms of deficiency, some by rea
son of brain sluggishness, but others
by reason of defective senses, such as
imperfect hearing or sight For such
as these, the report recommending ex-
animation with view to curing the de
fects, is especially worthy of immediate
practical application.
Altogether, the meeting Of the asso-
citation was satisfactory. not alone TO
those concerned in it, but to the public;
because it afforded full evidence Of the
interest of tho teachers in their calling.
and of the lively activity which they
stir up when they discuss so keculy

made from former routine will doubt

DISCONTINUED SAINTS,

There is a story quietly going the
rounds of Mormon circles 10 the effect
that pressure is being brought to bear,
from within the church, upon Reed
Smoot to cause him to resign his apos
tlcshlp in that organization
While we have no doubt that an eff
fort of that character has been made
heretofore, and that possibly it is being
repeated at this time, we fail to see
any reason that would effectively ap-
peal TO either Smoot or the remainder
of the Mormon hierarchy to that end.
Mr.. Smoot was delegated to the Sena-
torship by President Smith as he would
give to any other man any other mis-.
sion for the church. 1t is the desire of
the first pres idency and the twelve
apostles to have in the Senate repre-.
sentative whom they can trust TO report
TO them any prospective movement in
Government circles. Smoot, as a Nom.
Der Of the twelve, has taken what in
the church is known as the "second
endowment; and that being the case
he may be depended upon to keep no
secret from either his superior officers
or his coad tutors III the apostolate. He
is furnished with a cipher code, by
means of which he may communicate
by wire with any or all members of
the hierarchy. BY means of this he
transmits the news In form unintelli
glble to those who have not the "key.' -
Not even the most secret acts of the
Senate in executive session arc inviolate
as between Smoot and his companion
apostles or the first presidency His
obligation TO them under the "second
endowment transcends all others. and
upon demand he is required to divulge
ernment entrusted to his care. There
fore, he is most valuable man in the
place. as reckoned from the viewpoint
of the Mormon hierarchs.
AS to Mr., Smoot personally, there is
not one reason that could possibly ap-
peal to him with effect to induce him
to resign his apostleship, and there is
every reason to cause him to retain it.
AS an apostle he is known by the po-
litical schemers as an accredited rep.
resentativc of the Mormon church, and
through him as such the political bar.
gains of the church are made. With
out his apostIeship, Smoot S Senator
ship would be practically valueless to
him personally. It was by reason of
his having his ecclesiastical position
that he achieved his political place. 1T
was and is the desire of the present
reigning king of the 'kingdom of
God' TO have an ambassador to repre-
sent him in the highest lawmaking body
of the land, and to repose that mission
i'm one sufficiently bound to obedience
as to prevent any possibility of rebellion
against his wishes. So that the interest
of both Smoot and Smith are such
that neither could be made to recognize
the righteousness of any demand for
Smoot S resignation from the apostolate.
1t is evident that many men of sound
reasoning powers within the Mormon
CHURCH arc recognizing the disastrous re.
suits of having an apostle represent the
State in the Senate Of the United
States, and that they are and have been
urging his withdrawal from his place
in the hierarchy; but their efforts must
fail for the reasons stated. Any talk
on the subject is only so much talk
wasted.
