The king stretched forth his sinewy

Bishop Brent was much annoyed
when he arrived here the other day on
the Carmania that the fact that he
had made the voyage from Liverpool
in the steerage had become public
property. He had travelled in that
fashion to make certain Investigations,
one Of which was to study the types
of Europeans who are being brought
over here by the hundreds of thou
sands and not with the idea of pro-
ducing an effect.

to express it. In conclusion we wish to say that
SO far as the paper is concerned, we leave it with
malice toward none, satisfied that we have done
that which we believed to be for the best interests
of Cedar City, Iron County, and Southern Utah.
If we have erred, it has been a mistake of Judg-
ment, not of intent. The friends we have made
we believe there is bright future not far Distant
but that goal can the more quickly be reached if
the people will but put aside the trivial differences
that prevent united people, and join in working
and striving for that which will benefit each and
all, with selfishness and jealousy banished and in
it's stead a greater reverence for the Golden Rule.

Benefits of Parents Classes

The DEMENT'S that result from the discussions
In the Parents Classes should be incalculabe But
are they! We fear not. In the discussion of such
subjects or everyday family concern as are con-
sldered IN the Parents Glasses each Sunday the
Latter Day Saints have power that should make
Tor family betterment, to say nothing of better
citizenship that no other church organization has,
for other religious bodies confine their Sunday
school work to study of the scriptures. giving no
concern on the Sabbath to secular matters. If
those who meet from Sunday to Sunday and listen
to the advice of those who know and the recital of
actual experiences in those affairs that concern one
in his everyday life, would but attempt seriously
to put their knowledge into practice, there would
follow such reformation that the result, in the
attitude and conduct of the people toward one
another, would be truly marvellous
We fear, however. that the people do not go
away from the classes with resolve to put, or
even to attempt to put, the valuable suggestions
which they have learned into actual practice 1t
should be understood that when we say ''the peo-
ple' we mean as whole, for there are many ex-
ceptons Perhaps the greatest opportunity for
results from the Parents Glass work is in the in
struction of children. If even small part of the
good advice and the valuable suggestions given in
the class respecting the control and development
of children were put into actual, conscientious
practice, the children of the community would be
be- Il may be that a majority of the children
whose conduct shows lack Of training are the
children of parents who seldom attend the Par
ents Glasses or any other meeting that has for it's
object the making of better citizens, but who ig-
more the good that comes from such instructions,
and permit their children like themselves to idle
their time away In any sort of amusement that
may suggest itself. This would make it appear
that much of the valuable efforts of the Parents
Classes are fruitess.

The managers of the Ward Hall disclaim any
responsibility for the disturbance which occurred
at recent dance, declaring that the particular
dance at which the offenses were committed were
under the direction of Others who had the hall en-
gagged for the evening Without doubt this is the
correct statement of the affair." but there is COM
plant respecting the way the dances are run at
other times. There is no doubt that Cedar City is
above the average in the manner in which dances
are conducted. and we know the men in charge of
the Ward Hall to be conscientious in their desire
to keep them so. but the tendency the country
over towards a loose style of dancing is in the
nature OF contagion, and the symptoms are man.
