self-denial and suffering endured for
the sake of others. OF forgiven sins
and OF comforted hearts. and the very
spirit OF the letter now being palmed
off as having been written by Him is
so anti-Christ In its sentiment that the

lous.
1t is to be regretted that most men
and women are superstitious but 1t is
a fact that they are so, men who have
faced without tremor the cannon s
mouth have been known to grow faint
and turn pale at the sight OF d black
cat, and women noted for their cour-
age, when known danger confronted
them, will tremDle with fear when a
mirror is broken In the household.
Superstitution has from the earliest
time been the enemy OF happiness
and of the advancement OF the human
family. Science has had to combat
superstitution constantly and has gain
ed the victory only step by step and a,
the cost OF many lives, superstitutior
mas burned men and women at the
stake, fed babies to crocodiles and
caused human blood to flow like riv
ers of water in many lands.
We are sorry, for the sake OF the
party who sends in the copy of the
letter, that we cannot again find room
for the article but we advise her tt

It is said, and was admitted to US
by Mr. Bartlett, that he had lost every

gambling and that Durango men had
won the money from him. Now, we
have always heard that gamblers are

Mr.. Bartlett has left his invalid wife

OF attributing to Him the authorship
Of such an epistle as this letter. He,

punish the heart He had hardened on

Mexico tomorrow the state constitu-
tion adopted by the convention which
met here last fall was submitted to the
people for ratification. 1t probably

feet that individual rights were to be
given precedence over corporate rights
In that state. Mr.. Morton asked
whether 1t was possible for both indi-

He said: Il would be sorry to think
there was lot some 'air platform On
which individual rights and property
rights might stand with equality.
There is not any question bus that
every patriotic citizeo considers the
rights of men paramount to the right
OF property. but that does not justify
the public in ignoring the latter. My
observation has been that where rail-
