LAST DAY TO REGISTER.

Today is the last day on which any
voter can register for tho liquor cleo
tion of next Tuesday. That liquor elec.
tion is simply 10 decide whether one
can buy liquor from saloons by retail
as now, or whether he must buy by
wholesale, direct from the breweries,
wineries, and dIstilleres. There is no
question of prohibition involved IN the
election only question Of a possible
change in the manner OF dealing in
liquor through selling and buying. One
may sell and buy by wholesale, whether
be wants liquor by wholesale or not,
if he wants liquor at all, no matter
how the election may turn.
But the point now is as to registra-
ton. The City Recorder has made up
the registration lists from the voting
lists of last Year Those who did not
vote last year viii therefore be obliged
TO register anew this year, and whether
they voted or not, it is best for all to
see that their names are on the list.
Today is tho last day for this bust
ness before the election of next Tues
day; and today Friday. is the final
day for the revision Of the lists and
the entry of names SO that those who
desire to vote on Tuesday next will
have to see today that their names are
on the lists of voters.

Low DEFENSE OF PoLYGAMY

Never was defense of local
polycamy put upon so low aud gross a
scale as il is now being put bv the
official organ Of the Mormon church.
From time TO time. in view of the pres
ent English agitation against Nor.
mon proselytiug in Great Britain, the
church organ has brought forward the
idea that there should be no special
point made against Mormon polyrany.
inasmuch as polygamv is being prac.
tIccd 10 very large extent in tho
different races that are under the
British sovereignty. This view was
emphasized in the church organ here in
its issue of Tuesday evening, which
copied from an English paper of re.

Great Britain. and pleading how in

organ hep. openly put the Jicentious

dia, and the lewd inducements TO en-

This is shocking degradation of
church polygamy. which ono may
naturally be appalled, at finding
printed approvingly in the chief organ
of the Mormon church; for il express.

THE POWDER TRUST NEXT.

It appears that the powder trust is
the one that is now on the loboggan.
This, in way. is a surprise 60 the pub.
lie. which rather looked for the sugar
trust to he next put upon the glide.
The suit against the power trust was
begun four years ago, and involves
forty three corporate and individual
defendants. The case has slept so long
that it has generally been lost sight
of; but il is he decision Of the IT, $.
Supreme Court in the STANDARD Oil
case and in the Tobacco Trust case,
that undoubtedly has given new life 10
this suit. Accordingly tho United
States Circuit Court in Delaware en-
tered the decree against this powder
trust. But in the decree as rendered,
the court expressly excerpts Henry \.
Du Pont, one Of the L. s. Senators
from Delaware 4 year before this
suit WAS begun, he resignad all his of
fetal positions in the companies. anol
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1911-06-23

claim has been made for polyeamy
that it tends to purity Of life among
the men, that il is sexual purity, that
it is divincly ordained institution,
and that those who charge its origin
and perpetuation to animal lust
grossly msligu the Mormon polyeamy
system.
Hero, however, is the official organ
or the Mormon church copying with
approval a long article from an Eng
lish newspaper putting polygamv ex-
pressiy on the lowest possible basis,
and excusing the Mormon proselyting
IN Great Britain on the express
grounds that Great Britain tolerates
the basest irregularities in this respect,
aud the psndering to the lowest animal
passions, as A reason why Mormon mis-.
sionaries should not be interfered with
in their proselyting In Great Britain.
And the plea is evidently based upon
the assumption OF continued polygamy
in the Mormon church. which is now
quite commonly repudiated.
If this sort Of thing is, as the church
organ saws in its introduction TO that
scandalous article, a showing of chow
futile the anti. Mormon agitation has
been in England, as far as any change
in enlightened public opinion goes,
then indeed has the Mormon propa
ganda in Great Britain escaped by
pleading in its behalf tho grossest
animaIism. the lowest pandering to
beastly passion, and the granting OF
the assumption that polygamy is not

Three American Colony
Farmers Demonstrate
Value of Native
Food

Las Cruces. n. NJ, June 3.-The value
of hogs raised on native feed in this
valley has been demonstrated by j.
M. Forbes. H. c. Newoerry and Isaack
Rhodes, farmers of the American Bend
colony about six miles north of Dona
Ana. Last year these men raised a
large number of hogs and kept close
account of the cost and the returns.
They bought the animals in the sum
mer at an average weight of about
100 pounds. Where corn was fed to
them as a supplement to forage crops,
it was charged to the hogs at SO cents
bushel. while the gains on the hogs
were credited at s6 per 100 weight.
Nothing was charged for labor and
neither was any credit given for the
fertilizer left on the ranches From
data kept by these men it has been
figured that an acre of alfalfa, pas
tured by II hogs. yielded s37.59 in go
days. An acre of rape. oats and al
falfa pastured by 10 hogs for rs days
yielded s22.O2.- Cowpeas. alone, pas
