OBSERVE LAWS OF GOD

Senator Reed Smoot Of the twelve
apostles Of the Mormon church was the
principal speaker at the services in the
tabernacle yesterday afternoon, the oc-
casion being the quarterly conference
OF Ensign stake Of Zion. Apostle Smoot
spoke Of the pleasure be experienced IN
addressing an audience in the taber-
naclo after prolonged absence, saying
that thore was something about Nor
monisn that appealed to the soul OF
man.
Apostle Smoot referred to tho testi-
mony that he had heard at the morning
session Of the conference and expressed
the opinion that the disposition shown
in the testimony would yet correct tho
evils go abundantly TO bo found in all
parts OF the earth,
Says Change Is Coming.
'Irhe charge has been made that
Mormonism is q menace to clvlllza-
tion." said the speaker, Nbut the bat
tie that has been waged and is being
waged by the missionaries and by those
who meet with public men is causing
that charge to be questioned and men
are beginning TO ask for proof OF the
statement that Mormonism is menace
to civilization. No people on the face
of the earth are more willing and more
desirous to be judged by the fruit and
when they are so Judged the false
hoods spread abroad Will fail and fall
to the earth.
"The Mormon religion Is a menace
TO many things. II is menace to I'M
morality, vice, dishonesty, wiekedness
and darkness and to all things that
God says is not proper and right
Birth and Death Rates.
Statistics were quoted showing the
birth rate among the Mormon people
to be thirty eight to the hundred, the
speaker asserting that this Was greater
than that of any other part OF he
earth. The death rate he said Was only
8 per cent. He gave the figures, he
said, to show that the Mormon people
were living pretty close TO the laws Of
God. "They are not perfect,'' he ad-
other people on the face OF the earth. -
Charges Proved False.
The speaker referred to a magazine
article On the degradation OF the won
en- Of Utah and said that the Mormon
people have been charged with all kinds
of crimes and evils but they havo al
ways been proved false. uo then en-,
tered into a lengthy discussion Of the
place OF motherhood IN tho Mormon
church. He said that the first great
law to multiply and replenish the earth
was being disregarded in most places
and he said that he wanted to warn the
mothers OF Israel that one of the great
things God intended for them was to
fulfill the law OF motherhood.
Major Richard W. Young. president
Of the Ensign stake, presided at the
services and the tabernacle choir sang
"Come, Dearest Lord aye Simple
Souls Who Stray" and "God Is Our
Refuge"
Preceding the address by Apostle
Smoot, Elder Charles III. Hart of the
seven presidents OF seventies, spoke on
the evidence there is on every hand OF
q Creator and Supreme Being.

The Falling Off of the Vote

Those of us who pay too much at tentfon to the politicians and misin- terpret what we see in the newspapers are apt to make a mistake in thinking that the great mass of the people are excited and that we are on the eve of a political revolution. The truth is that the people are paying less at tention to public affairs than they ever did before as is shown in the steady falling off of the popular vote.
 That had been observed for some time before states began adopting pri mary laws It was then said that the people were disgusted with machine politics and that if they were given an opportunity to express themselves they would do so.
 But that has not been the case eX- cept in very few instances. The pri- maries of oregon and California have been very well attended But that has not been SO anywhere else. Even in Oregon there is 8 growing apathy. In California the system is yet new. The presidential primaries last spring were almost everywhere sadly neg lected notwithstanding the fierce fight side of the republicans and Clark and Wilson. of the democrats.
 Special efforts had been made to bring out the republican vOte yet, taking all the states where primaries were held, less than fifty per cent of the vote was attracted In many places hardly sixteen per cent of it was brought, as, for instance, in the Kansas City district
 The first Arizona primary last fall was a disappointment and even more so. was the presidential primary of the democrats
 But this is not a new phenomenon Figures have been compiled showing that since Wisconsin adopted the primary system the vote has beer steadily falling although the state has been constantly increasing in pOpula- tion The figures reveal that in 191( when the population was practically double that of 1880 the combined vote of all parties was almost identica with that of the earlier year. Rusl for governor boiled more votes il 1884 than did McGovern in 1910 Lt Toilette with all his popularity nevel

Not So Dull After All

Following the dictum of the supreme court suspending our election for state and county officers next No vember, with the ease and facility with which elections are ordered or postponed in Mexico. we looked for ward to a tame and uninteresting po- Htical campaign next fall. If we were left to our own devices it would per haps be very dull and uninteresting but things are falling out better than We had expected.
 There will be a good deal of import ed interest. There will be a strong outside fight for the three brand new electoral votes of this state. The progressives will have Colonel Roose- Welt himself here for at least one speech.-in Phoenix, and perhaps a half dozen rear end speeches through the northern part of the state. Gov ernor Johnson will appear at Phoenix and the larger towns of the south.
 Chap Clark, it is quite certain, will endeavor to revive the dropping spirits of the democracy and it is believed that Senator Gore of Oklahoma will also be here for q short time and then, there is the vice presidential nominee, for Governor Marshall is half Arizonian.
 No intimation is given of the iden- tity of the republican national speak CTS but we are assured that when their itinerary is made up it will be found that Arizona has not been neg lected.
 All this imported oratory will, per haps be no better than we can pro- duce at home but it will have the advantage of being different. It is almost certain that none of it will equal in sustained flight Senator Ashurst's now famous San Francisco peaks speech but it will possess for us the charm of novelty. We get tired even of flying over the San Fran cisco peaks all the time and long for a change of scenery.

boiled as large vote as that boiled by his immediate predecessor.
 Several ingenious theories are ad- vanced to account for this loss but it seems to us that the reason is suf- ficiently plain. The people have grown weary They cannot be for ever keyed up to a high pitch of po- IticaI excitement They have private affairs demanding their attention. One of the advantages of a representative form of government over pure democracy is that the people do not always have to be running to the polls Naturally when elections oc- cur at less frequent intervals the peo- pie will vote in large numbers.

A Valuable Handbook

The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, with headquarters at No. O5 East 22d street, New York, has published a val uable book on, Fresh Air and How to Use It." prepared by Thomas Specs Darlington, M. D. assistant secretary of the association It is intended as a textbook for the instruction of urban and country residents alike, and if generally circulated it will aid ma terially in lessening the ravages of the white plague.
 Dr Carrington's book is first of all eminently practical The author real izes that pure air and plenty of it is the most formidable foe of the dreaded trained from technical and academic discussion, and has embraced the op- portunity to instruct the people in the matter of the use and abuse of na- lures antidote for the tubercular germs. The author does not, though, neglect the scientific side of his inn portant question of the use of fresh and pure air, but has devoted his work chiefly to plain and detailed methods for it's use as both d preventative and a restorative.
 This hand book not only goes deep ly into every detail in the matter of utilizing fresh air. but it is profusely illustrated. So plain do these illus trations point out proper household ar rangements that the book would be eminently useful, even to one who cannot read. It is realized by the of ficials of this worthy and helpful as sociation that there has already been widespread awakening to the value of fresh air in combating tuberculosis. It is the avowed object of the society to meet the growing demand for ad- vice and information as to methods of obtaining fresh air. Its answer to this demand is the valuable treatise which has now been issued.

A Mythical Woolqrower

Says an exchange: "A short time ago one of the largest wool growers in Arizona informed us that as far as he was concerned he would just as soon see all the duty taken off of wool if it were also removed from the manufactured article"
 The name of the woOlgrower is con veniently with held but if he actually exists he must be contemplating going out of the wool business in this cOun- try and re-engaging in it in Aus tralia.
 While there would be some advant- age to the general consumer in the removal of the duty on raw wool, the advantage to the wOOlgroWer from the removal of the former would not off set the loss that would result from the removal of the latter duty.
 This woolgrower, we suspect is a mythical person and therefore would be unaffected by anything that might happen to the tariff.

The Habit of Non Resistance

A young and beautiful woman. on horse back at the head of a half score of ragged rebels upset the com mission" government of Juarez on Sunday, disarmed the provisional po- lice, levied tribute on the merchants and rode out of town.
 That was not as difficult and bold a feat as it may seem at first glance for we must consider the vicissitudes through which Juarez has passed for more than a year. A habit of non resistance has been formed and the inhabitants have got into the way of yielding to whoever comes along and asserts authority. A half dozen wO- men armed with broomsticks, rolling pins or the still more formidable hat pin could probably capture Juarez at any time.

THOUGHTFUL.

A lazy negro who let his wife take in washing without demur had a dream one night and policy dream at that He borrowed money from her to play the combination, and before ne left home he stated his conviction.
 Mandy" he said. Ans goin' uptown to play dis combine, what am sho' to come out When you see me comin' home in hack yo' break up yo' wash tubs"
 The combine" didn't come out anj Sam, in great dejection, acquired lot of gin. Then he was messed up bit by a dray. and some other negroes hired a hack to take him home.
 Sam was nearly out, and was breath ing heavily when the hack turned a familiar corner, andl his wife was standing in the door. With his fast ounce of energy he stuck his head out of the window and yelled.
 Mandy, spare dem tubs!'-From the Chicago Post

THE ISLANDS OF EDIBLE BIRDS
 NESTS

The SiameSe government derives a considerable annual revenue from the rental of the islands on which breed the sea swallows, whose nests are of edible nature There are between four and five hundred of these islands, the majority of which lie off the east coast of the Siamese Malayan provinces, es- pecially that of Bandon Here in the bay that takes it's name from the prov irce, and between the mainland and the large islands Koh Pungunn and KOh Samne, stretching northwarJ for a hundred and fifty miles or so, are the masses of volcanic rock that are the all-year round home of literally millions of the birds. Some of the islands are mere rock beds, others have an eXpanse of many acres. Near Iy all rise sheer out of the intensely blue sea. In infrequent cases there is a narrow strip of beach between the water and the face of the cliff.
 The coloring of the islets is marvel ous; it is symphony of siennas, um- bers, ambers, sepias, ochres, pinks, purples, rose and scarlet, brought into being by the fervid heat of the vol canic action that originally lifted the rocks from the sea-bed. The vivid green of tropical vegetation usually crests the islets, emphasizing their many colored hues. Add to all this the sapphire of the Siamese sea and sky in October, and the steady and re freshing breath of the southwest mon soon, and the reader will have an idea of the conditions under which I en- tered the winding channels that lead through the witchery of fairy islands.
