TAKES MEN TO COURT
One Jeweler Says Rival Sat
on Him

Business rivalry brought two jewel
ers from the Mission district before
Judge Shortal yesterday. Ike Hassen,
who has a jewelry store at 1881 Six
teenth street, appeared as the complain
ing witness against Fred Stefan,
whose place of business is 251s Mission
street. Hassen claims Stefan stands in
front of his store and obscures the
show windows with his bulk. When he
demonstrated Stefan threw him down
and sat on him, Hassen alleges. Stefan
says he does such a big business that
Hassen is jealous of him, and when he
was walking past his rivals store
Wednesday Hassen ran out and struck
him. The case was continued.

CHARACTERS EXPRESS VIEWS

Lowenberg points to as constituting a
nations crime In Illinois she finds in
stances of children being declared ille-
gitimate by the decision of court. and
in Maryland by the unearthing OF q
forgotten statute. And in her book she
puts forward the question: Where is
1t to end? Is the social status to be
undermined by the technical knowl-
edge of a judge?"
OF the divorce question itself she
SAYS little in her own right as author,
allowing her characters TO express their
views on the subject according to their
various ideas. ..,-.-.-.
BY these means the two sides of the
argument are presented, the following
being an instance:
Divorce is one of the evils of
the times. Nowhere in the world
are the laws so lax as in the Unit
ed States in regard to the legal
separation of man and wife. Now,
if you knew there was no release
for you on this earth your dislike
would never have grown TO this
deadly hate
7 am low church: you are high
church, If you keep on YOU Will be
calling divorce and marriage, with
your rigid ideas; adultery, 80
but be careful not to make mis-
takes"
Any divorced man or woman re-
marrying is a bigamist. Ny opin-
ion is decided on that point"
Well, father, do not be too de-
cided-vou know there was a time
when Servetus was burned at the
stake for denying the tri-personal-
ity of the divinity, and now we
wonder at such narrowness. Times
change"
Il repeat that the legal dissoluu-
tion of those ties does not vindi-
cate that remarriage is equitable
1t is iniquitous."

PRIEST. JOSEPH +. SMITH.
President Joseph T. Smith expressed
his keen qualification in being present
at the services OF the day. Never be-
fore have the Latter-day Saints en-
joyed the liberty that they enjoy to-
day. Liberty TO live and pursue our
callings in peace. freedom OF speech,
blessings and comfort. seem TO char
acterize the day: yet In II all | some
times fear there turks some hidden
evil
I'VE, today, are not fearful of the
assaults of an inveterate foe, one seek
ing our undoing. In such a condition
OF apparent security are we not In
danger OF becoming listless and care
less?"
The president related the incident Of
a good brother who instructed his
family To go to bed without prayer. as
they had all the family desire, hence
there was nothing left TO pray for. ITO
my mind, here IL the danger; we have
an abundance of the good things of
life and in the enjoyment OF these
things we are In danger of forgetting
the source whence come all these
blessings Do We honor the sabbath
as we should or do We go excursion
ing or up the canyons on this day? Are
the Latter-day Saints in their pros
perity mindful OF the L,ord2 This Is
my plea let us remember God In our
prosperity as we do In our auversity.
The lack Of faith to heal the sick was
deplored by the president, and the
necessity for exercising the gifts OF the
gospel pointed out. The speaker con-
cluded his remarks with a prayer that
God would deeply imbue his people
with a proper regard for those in au-
thorty over them.
The choir and congregation sang
Praise God. from whom all blessings
flow"
