The state constitution says on this

MOYLE IS TRUCULENT

The ancient question of church and
state preciplta ted Il warm debate in the
board of education meeting last night. a
debate that was far from settled and
that bids fair to provoke a wide open
breach In the board before ii is settled.
Just at the point of the adjournment
OF highly oratorical session, the qucs-
ton bobbcd up. In the twinkling OF an
eye the oratory was resumed and some
startling statements were voiced before
II subsidized
Arnold G.. Giauque had informed the
board that the bishop OF the Ensign ward
in the northeastern part OF the city had
asked for permission 10 conduct Sunday
school classes In the Ensign school pend
ing the completion OF the ward chapel
Mr.. Giauque asked that some action be
taken on the request, inasmuch as II
had been made some time ago and no
reply had been given the bishop,
Oscar w. Moyle jumped 10 his feet the
moment the trend of Mr., Glauque's re-
marks became apparent. and declared
emphatically his opposition to the use
OF any public school building Tor reliS
ious purposes. The line between public
institutions and religious institutions
must be clearly drawn and must be de-
Tended at all odds Mr. Moyle declared

Sculptor Speaks.

Mahroni NJ Young, the sculptor, was
introduced and bowed his acknowledg-
ment of the applause with which he was
greeted when President Joseph F, Smith
made a brief but interesting address OF
recital of incidents connected with the
gra sshopper war;" as he personally re-
membered them. President Smith also
uttered the dedicatory prayer
w. w Ritter described the ravages OF
the criclets In 1S4s, and told Of the en-
couragement which was given to the
people in their trouble by their leaders,
which cheer, he declared, was later justi-
fled In the appearance Of the gulls TO
devour the destructive crickets.
Among the historical documents read
In description OF events surrounding the
"grasshopper war was letter written
by Thomas Callister to the late Presi-
dent George A. Smith, extracts from the
diary of Eliza R. Snow and from the

Dangerous Ground.

If We are going 10 lease our school
buildings for such purposes, we are step
ping upon dangerous ground. and FOR
one am absolutely against il; II is not
right legally or morally" he said.
Mr.. Giauque replied that the time was
coming fast In the progress OF civiliza-
ton when school buildings and other pub
lie buildings would be thrown open 10 all
goodly purposes regardless OF religion
or politics.
II am not opposed TO their being used
for any worthy purpose excepting reig-
ion,'' Mr.. Moyle replied. 'I am jealous
of the freedom OF public institutions from
any church influence Throw open the
schools to the politician If you like, but
not for the teaching of religion
Henry Van Pelt at this point interposed
a remark TO the effect that the Mormon
church had always rendered Its chapels
and amusement halls TO the board of
education for the holding OF graduating
exercises in the public schools He de-
cared il was not gracious thing for the
board of education 10 refuse the same
courtesy to that church In the case Of an
emergency such as the one at hand
THAT Is the churcil's own business,
said Mr.. Moyle. 1T may do as 1t pleases
with its buildings and its property, but
the school buildings under the super
vision OF this board are public property.
They belong to the citizens, and we have
no right To turn them over for the hold
ing OF religious meetings"
