nature of what is commonly called a
play for effect, they continued TO per.
form polygamous marriage ceremonies
for ambitious elders, and even went SO
far as to take new polygamous wives
themselves. The effect of such acts and
such teaching is to encourage the Nor,
mon people in the belief that there has
been no abandonment of polygamy by
the church, and consequently to induce
hundreds of them to further violate the
law and the manifesto,
All the time it is becoming more
plainly evident that the only means by
which polygamy can be stopped is by
enforcement of the law; because it is
proved beyond doubt that the church
tself will do nothing toward that end.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Democratic State convention
which met in Provo on Thursday was
right lively gathering There was
freedom of expression quite unusual
in any public meeting in Utah in which
Mormons participate, In meetings gen

pendence and individual action. In
this convention, however, there was a
welcome change from the old order, and
the participants expressed their minds
with heartlnes, unreserve, and candor
that were refreshing to see. Judge
Kings speech "took off the lid and
then the steam escaped and kept escap-
ing all the time.
There was full recognition by the
speakers of the infamous job perpetrat
ed two years ago by the "Federal
bunch in Utah, in which the church
was made yokefellow with the liduor
interests and both in unison used for
political purposes.
There was a full recognition of the
fact, although some did not speak out
on the point as plainly as others, that
the action OF the Mormon church here
had been antagonistic to the Democratic
party and to Democratic interests.
Mr. J, B. Morgan of Utah County
expressed the latent fear however, that
undoubtedly haunted the convention,
and was survival of former defeats,
when he Ventured the opinion that the
Democratic party ''if let alone" could
elect the Democratic ticket this year.
cratic party knows its chief foe in this
State, and Mr., Morgan gave voice TO
the overshadowing fear that perhaps
that foe would still be actually antag-
onlstic to the Democratic party this
year-wouldn I "let it alone.''
Mr.. S. S, Jones of Provo deplored
the fact that religious meetings, mean
ing of course Mormon meetings, have
been turned into Republican caucus

Here was n fruitful source Of condem-
takes fair and just advantage of the
situation from the standpoint Of the
public interests.
In condemning the political trick
stcrs of Utah In the Republican party,
however, the platform, while doing
justice to those tricksters, limits the
condemnation too closely, There have
also been Democratic tricksters and
Democratic subscrvients to church rule
that have aided the Republican trick
sters In their malign and scandalous
betrayals of the people
On The whole. the platform is rather
feeble one, in omitting the great
things and pushing to the front the
minor things. 1t arraigns the Repub-
llcan leaders and the Republican ad-
ministration, having ample and Just
ground to do so. but it does not tonch
upon the shameful betrayal of the peo-
pie by both the old parties in the In
tcrests of the corrupt theocracy. and
that has been exhibited
not alone by the Republican party. al
though it must be confessed that this
has been shown by the Republican
party to more shameful degree than
by the Democratic party; and in so far
as pot that is black may criticise
pot that is blacker, the Democrats by
that much have a right to arraign the
Republican administration for trickery
and subservience. Only that and moth.

Birthday Of Marco Polo.

The Nenetians. great travellers as they
were. did not place implicit faith In tine
stories OF Marco Polo. They thought he
related fabulous tales. 1t is now realized
that ne was an exceptional voyager, with
mind keen for Impressions and eyes
trained 10 note the most minute things.
{, Marco Polo was was born in Venice on
noble rank, with their name In the
Book Of Cold" and a scat in the great
council Of the Venetian republic. His
father. Nlcolo Polo. and a brother, went
for commercial ventures to the East. and
were the first European travellers to en-
ter China. Nicolo was married and
when he returned to Venice he found
that his wife had died. but Marco his
son. was promising youth OF Is years.
After carrying out several important
commissions. the brothers went back to
the East and took Marco with them. So
began his remarkable experience In
travel. When Marco reached the court
OF the great Khan OF Shangtu he was u.
he set himself 10 mastering the Ian
Suages used about the court and In Off

so bright and gifted with so much dis
cretion that he began 10 give him small
commissions In the public service
In the Chinese annals there is record
OF the year 1877 in which a. Polo, prob
ably Marco, was made agent for the I'M

and often spoke OF the usual stupidity
OF commissioners. who knew absolutely
nothing but their official business
This made Marco more careful to ,e-
member interesting facts, and he beea
to keep note books. The khan rewarded
Marco by giving him still more important
foreign missions. and allowing him to
have many charges in the affairs OF the
kingdom. For three years a one period
he was governor OF the large city OF
Yangchow.
