enticed but where they later repent
In sackcloth and ashes their folly
In emigrating.
Fortunately Norwegians living here
conceived the idea Of calling mass
meeting of their fellow-countrymen to
protest against the villification Of Utah
The meeting, as reported at the time
I'm The News was generally attended.
There were present men and women.
business men and professional mon.
Church members. and non-Church
members, young and old, newcomers
and pioneers In tho community, and
all with accord condemned the false
stories and entered their protest
against them. Judge G. NJ. Nielsen
showed that of 2s1 prisoners In the
pcnitentlary. In 1908 only % were
Utah people So much for the
moral status of the people here. He
showed that Utah is the third state IN
the Union In litoracy, and that the
state got the first prize at St Louis
and Seattle for It's educational sys-
TEN. In this connection he stated that
the Saints have erected thirty uni
versities and academies and that the
Church has paid s1.15T.5s6.S7 for the
erection OF these seats OF learning, be-
sides sl56.162s9 for scientific
apparatus and equipment II was an
enthusiastic meeting and the resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted
we say II was fortunate that the
Norwegians here, without regard TO
creed or politics, came together and
tried to impart some information to
those at home" concerning the
falsity OF the stories circulated there
and based on the local antl-"Mormon'
illusions. But experience teaches thar
falsehood runs a long way while truth
puts off the boots, and In the mean
time mischief is done, sometimes, that
is irrepprable
1t Is evident that such stories cir
culated abroad must have the effect OF
causing many good home-seekers to
decide not to consider Utah at all IL
must have the effect OF depriving
Utah OF her share OF the influx or
good, industrious settlers. That Is the
effect of the anti-"Mormon" agitation.
some fools chuckle at 1t, rub their
hands and say: Serves 'em right In
the meantime the home-builders from
abroad go to Colorado, Idaho, call
fornia and other states. They build
Nm Denver, Los Angeles, and other
cities while Utah settlements grow
SLOWLY That is one effect OF the
s,eclal form OF insanity of which
some people here are SUFFERING IL
not time for reason to assert ltselt
Anti-"Mormon" assaults do not hurt
the church. Nothing can hurt inc
church except the failure OF It's mem
hers TO keep the laws of Cod put
they hurt the state by retardins Its
material growth. and that Is fact
Of personal interest to all who dwell
here.

Henry NJ. Hyde IN Golfers.
The rest OF the country can hardly
realize the breadth and the depth and
the fervor OF the spiritual tumult which
is stirring the Middle West with chit
cago as its center. Chicago newspapers
regularly carry columns of sermons In
Chicago street cars are displayed glar-
ing placards advertising the Book of
Mormon, and 5000 copies have been
sold in the city during the past two or
three years. BillbOards are covered
with big four-sheet posters IN colors,
calling upon the public To- attend great
free mass meetings IN the Coliseum,
with a gospel choir " 1900 voices as
the special attraction. Every sunday
morning the AuditOrfum-th largest
theater In the city--is packed with the
congregation OF Central church, and
every Sunday evening Orchestra hail Is
filed with people attending the re-
Hgious services. which are supported
BY a voluntary club of Chicago bush
uess men. And during the element sea
son OF each recent year scores of
Middle West towns. with populations
OF ten to twenty thousand people, have
practically dropped all their ordinary
occupations and given themselves over
for weeks at time TO a strange fana-
teal religious ecstasy. under the aero
hatic ministrations OF Billy Sunday
baseball evangelist. And these are
only the more normal the more nearly
orthodox manifestations Of the spirit
lal unrest.

VITAL STRUGGLE IN FRANCE.


The campaign against depopulation Is
almost as old in France as the fact of
depopulation itself. Its results have
not been encouraging. Till within
year or two ago, there was tritiing
margin of births over deaths; this has
now disappeared, and Frame faces
actual. as well as comparative, retro
gression. Nevertheless, the agitation
for larger families goes on. A bin Just
introduced I'm the senate, and support
ed by men like Leon Bourgeois. Alex
andre RibOt, Richard Waddington, Al
fred Mez!ercs. and Francis Charmes,
sought to combine the various schemes
that have been suggested for dealing
with the problem. The underlying
nrinciple is to combat depopulation
through the states employees, who con-
stitute so large a part of the popula-
ton The bill rovides that no em-
ploye OF the state over the age OF 70
shall be retained In the service II I'M
married. II a government employe Is
the father of at least three living chill
dren he shall have preference In pro-
motion and receive an annual bounty
OF 200 francs for every child after the
third and under the age OF Is. CiNll
service pensions will provide bounty
of 100 francs annually Tor every child
after the third. II Is furthermore pro-
vided that every FrenChman who Is
unmarried at the age OF 20 shall be
called upon to render extra military
service for a long term Of years. The
laws regulating the distribution OF per
sonal estates at death viii be repealed.
Here Is a comprehensive program
which, in spite OF the seriousness OF
the situation that has called II forth,
stands little chance OF enactment. Its
drastic thoroughncss Is almost as char
actcristically national as the fact OF
depopulation itself
