once got possession of the soil and
taught their people how to become
successful farmers that they would
be laying the foundation SO secure
that they could not be disturbed.
Several of the leaders told me that
when they first came into this
country that there was great temp
tation to exploit the gold, silver
and copper mines, but they would
not let their people do this but
held them to the SOIL 1t is only
within the last few years that the
Mormons have begun to get wealth
out of the mineral resources OF the
country Notwithstanding they have
known all along that this wealth
existed. Now that they are in
possession of the soil and have
taught their people how to become
successful farmers they say they
can afford to go into mining.
There are two parallels between
the Negro and the Mormons.
First, as my readers already know,
the Mormons were most inhuman-
ly prosecuted almost from the first
experimentation of their church.
This was especially true in Missou-
ri and Illinois. Hundreds of their
followers were put to death. The
courts gave them little protection
The mob that either killed or
wounded the Mormons was seldom,
if ever punished. They were an easy
mark for any inhuman brute who
wanted to either kill or wound
them. Joseph Smith himself, the
founder of the ch urch was murder
dered in Illinois. But out of this
inhuman and unjust treatment
grew the strength of these people.
The more they were punished the
more determined they became
to succeed. Without opposi-
ton and injustice, 1 question
whether the Mormon Church would
now be in its present hourishing
condition. They were deprived of
their property as well as their lives
in their early years, but the more
they were prosecuted the closer
they banded themselves together
and the more determined they were
to succeed. Preservation advertis.
ed this little sest to the world.
The result was that through per
secution their numbers increased
instead of being diminished.
The second parallel between the
Mormon and the Negro is this.
These people | am sure, have been
misrepresented before the world.
l have learned by experience and
observati on that it is never safe to
pass final judgment upon people
until one has had an opportunity

Salt Lake City, March 29.-For a
long while | have been anxious to
get right into the midst OF the
Mormons to see what kind of peo-
pie they are, what they look like,
what they are doing and in what
respect they are succeeding. L
have been spending two of the busi
est days ever spent in my life
in the very midst of these people.
They have been mighty interest
ing days and / have seem some
mighty interesting people. The
leaders of the Mormon church from
President Smith down have gone
out of their way to show me kind
nesses and to make my trip here
successful.
l am not going to discuss the
Mormon religion as l am not a
theologian; l shall have to leave
that to others. | am always in
terested in studying and observing
people regardless of their religion.
One of the Mormon bishops called
to see me, aud from him | got
some mighty interesting informa-
ton that ought to prove of value to
our race.
In speaking Of the Mormons,
nv readers must remember that it
was only 66 years ago that led by
Bligham Young, $50 people came
into this country when it was a
wilderness. They travelled in OK
carts over a thousand miles from
the Missouri River. The Mormon
church itself was organized in New
York State only "a years ago.
From $50 people, hardy pioneers
who entered Utah sc years ago the
number has grown yeak by year
until in Utah there are now over
three hundred thousdand Mormons
and they have certainly made the
desert blossom as a rose. L have
never been among more intelll-
gent, healthy, clean, progressive,
moral set of people than these peo-
ple are. All through Utah they
have turned the desert into gar
dens and orchards. Wherever one
finds a Mormon colony there he
finds evidence of hard work and
wealth.
The Mormon leaders here told
me in detail about the policy that
they. pursued when they first came
here, and here is great for our
neople in the South and through
out this country. From the first
Mormons consistently and persis-
tently pursued the policy of hav-
ing their people get hold of land,

farmers. They knew that If they

New York.-It is reported that
the fifteen colored girls employed
as ushers at the Palace Theatre
will receive their walking papers
within few days, and that white
male ushers will succeed them.
Percy Thomas, one of the mana
gers of the house, has resigned,
and it is said that the new manager
does not favor employing colored
female ushers. The Palace Tnea-
tire opened Monday week in oppo-
sition to Hammerstein's Victoria
Theatre. Fifteen colored female
ushers, two colored footmen and
two colored pages were employed.

cares let them have their way. Sc
lect your large eggs and let the hens
have them. The fact that the pullets
thus produced will be late need cause
no worry. In fact it is an excellent
thing. These pullets will practically
have their growth when cold weather
comes but they will not have begun
to lay. Instead of putting their
strength into egg production they
will go on developing and by February
when they start to lay they will be
strong.
It is through these puIIets that we
are to avoid the problem of incuba-
ton. The early pullets that are incu-
bator Matched should be shut up in
the early fall and fed stimulating
food calculated to increase egg pro-
duction. They should be kept up all
winter and never mated to a male
bird Infertile eggs keep better in
hot weather or cold storage. In the
spring when the bottom drops out Of
the price of eggs and chickens are a
bit scarce, they may be disposed of
to fair advantage on the open market.
The hen Matched pullets should
then be given the run of the farm
and not fed any stimulating food in
the spring Through the summer they
will lay enough eggs to pay for their
keep for year. In the fall they will
mott and the chances are the cold
weather will catch them before they
are well over it. Then comes another
rest and time of storing strength and
by early spring you will have bunch
of breeding birds that have been fitted
for their task just as surely as the
grand champion steer at the Interna-
tional is fitted for his task And it is
just as necessary. Hens that are hen
satched should be used for the breed
ing flock every time.
