Mormon Church a Secret Society.

In his article on THE Mormon Re-
vival Of Polygamy," in the February
McClure's, Burton ]. Hendrick speaks
of the deceptive attitude of the Nor.
mon Church toward plural marriages,
which, while it openly repudiates,
secretly encourages polygamy, Mr.,
Hendrick says
1.-THE anti-Mormon view is that this
public repudiation of polygamy is
simply part of the Mormon game. Its
purpose is to blind the outside world.
The Mormon policy is secretly TO pro-
mote and encourage polygamy, ana
outwardly to repudiate it. The critic
most friendly to the Mormons must
admit that, outwardly, many circum-
stances lend color to this view. The
one pre-eminent fact is that the Nor.
mon Church is great secret society.
Non Mormons are never permitted to
enter its temples the rites and In
struction that take place in them are
never officially made public all mem
bers of the church are oath-bound,
under the frightful penalties, to not
reveal these mysteries. Mormons who
have 'gone through" these temples
wear, day and night, an undergarment,
inscribed with mystic symbols, as a
perpetual reminder Of these oaths.
The church has its marriage records,
but never permits the non-MormoR
public to see them. The publication
Of these records would go long way
toward proving, or disproving, the
charge that the church encourages
polygamy; but they are held inviolate
in the temples. In 1904 the United
States Senate attempted, unsuccess-
fully, to subpoena them. If these
records are entirely innocent, and II
the statement of the church is true,
that the entries concern only mar
riages that are valid in the eyes of the
civil law, why should they not be pro-
duced ?"

Report Of Examiners Of
Commissioners Report.

To the Hon. Cyrus Newly Judge of the Com
mon Pleas Court of Highland County, Ohio:
We, the committee, appointed by your
Honor TO examine the annual report of the
commissioners Of Highland Comfy, Ohio,
for the year ending, August 81, 1910, beg
leave to submit the following report
We ind that the said report was filed
within the time specified by Section OH Re-
vised Statutes OF ohio and also the reports
of the Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff and
Clerk were filed with the Auditor within the
time specified by the statutes governing said
reports.
We have thoroughly examined the Com
missioner's Report, together with all bills
vouchers, orders and warrants an. lind that
the report Is correct with the following ex-
ceptions
We find that the amount of the vouchers
issued TO Frank link is sil90 In the report
but should be ssl.9o. Also the amount of
vouchers Issued TO O. II. Whistler Is 8l65. .23 in
report, but should be S16i23
Vouchers issued TO W. o. Daggy show in
report 1872, but should be siLS2.
Also amount of vouchers issued ito @, g.
Willis is Sli445 in the report should be
Sll420
voucher No. si.47 to John McMullen in the
report is s2l A, but should be sls.2s.
Also the report shows that H. IL. Maddox
drew s35, whereas the Auditors Journal
shows that he drew $50
The Dispatch Publishing Co according TO
the report, drew on voucher No, 2l34 S7.3l,
whereas II should have been S.35.
Voucher No. 1923 to Dick Craig appears in
journal, but not in report
Also voucher No. 2sOs to Il. r. Randolph is
sl0.2S in report, but should be $40 .25.
We also find that warrant No. 1851 issued
TO the Globe Wernicke Co March |, 1910, is
still outstanding
Also voucher No. 9507 to Ed. Bean for re-
pairs on samantha and Hillsboro pike is
S5l5.20 In report, but should be S565. 20
We hnd that County Surveyor IL w. Hun
ter drew as salary for the year 1880 instea
OF el620 as shown by the report, which eX-
ceeds the amount he would have been enti-
tied TO, working every work day of the year
by t2o; some OF the bills were deficient In
tnat the GATE OF service was not given.
Mr.. Hunters explanation was that the ex
tions of bridge structures made previous e
the year, but used during the year We
think such imperfect bills should have bee n
rejected by the Commissioners until made
more specific and the board convinced OF
their legality.
We find the Auditors books neatly and
well kept and vouchers, warrants etc, prop
erly hled and arranged
We wish to thank the Auditor his deputy
and clerks for their kindness and assistance
TO us throughout the examination,

All decaying cabbage should be
dug up and destroyed.
Fortunately there Is very little soft
corn in the country this year
An acre of 12-inch ice usually will
provide harvest OF 1000 tons.
Fed with corn, alfalfa produces
larger gains than any other feed.
Top dress the lawns, and tie straw

Jack OF all trades on the progressive

The temptation to sell alfalfa is al
most irresistible because of the high
prices received for 1t.
The best investments that any
farmer can make with his surplus
money is putting It into farm i'm
provements.
Alfalfa in its younger growth is q
delicate plant and, as a general rule
It Is best to favor It in every way un

The principal waste Is In the corr
fields where the leaves and stalk are
not saved. The silo provides the
economical means Of saving these.
