voluntarily in private schools, exer-
cises will be conducted in celebra-
tion of Flag Day. Let us extend
this practice. Teach the story Of
the Flag, what it represents, and
have the young people pledge their
fealty and loyalty to it.
On the l4th day of June, 1777,
Congress enacted: That the Flag
of the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the Union be thirteen
stars, white in blue field, repre-
senting a new constellation" The
number of stripes having been in.
creased by the admission of new
States, the possibilities of the ma.
tons future development dawned
upon our fathers, the original thir-
teen stripes were unchangeably re.
stored by act of Congress on April
4, 1918, when it was enacted: That
from and after the fourth day of
July next, the Flag of the United
States be thirteen horizontal stripes,
alternate red and white; that the
Union be twenty stars, white, in a
blue field, and that on the admission
of a new State into the Union, one
star be added to the Union of the
Flag, and such addition take effect
on the fourth day of July next, sue
ceeding such admission"
Since the struggle of 1861 1865,
the Flag has become the symbol of
a mighty nation. 1t has been car.
ried to the utmost parts of the
earth, carrying liberty wherever it
has been thrown to the breeze.
We are now in the midst of an
anxious time in all our nation, again
calling for an expression of our
most sincere devotion to the Flag
of our county, and what it stands
for. The Stars and Stripes have
come to possess new beauty for
friendly eyes and new terror for
the foes of liberty, and of law and
order. and of lawful government.

DEFENDS POLYGAMY

we respect and obey the law OF
the land; that is tenet of our faith,
ButI believe that with proper re-
ligious environment and control plural
marriages would be entirely whole
some and an unmixed blessing to
mankind" .N
1t is thus that Joseph F. Smith,
who is the head of the Mormon
Church, defends the practice which
the world regards as synonymous
with Mormonism, but which has
been interdicted both by United
States law and Mormon Church
manifesto.
I'VE entered into plural marriages
because we believed that family re-
lation to be morally and religiously
right" said President Smith. "Plur.
al marriages are no longer contracted
among the Mormons. We accept
the law of the nation. Personally,
l believe plural marriage is the ma
tural solution of the social evil. We
believe plural marriages have the
sanction of the scriptures, and with
all the opposition to it three-fourths
of the population of the world still
lives under that system.
1T is no secret that married five
wives; they are all living. There
have been born to me by these five
wives twenty-five sons and twenty
one daughters, and of the forty
three. thirty-nine are living and |
feel honored by the sort of men and
women into which they have grown.
Not one of my sons has ever
darkened the door of saloon; not
one has ever smoked a cigar or a
cigarette. | have never heard one
of them use an oath or any vile
speech. None of my daughters has
been guilty of any of these things.
My family is no exception among
Mormon families in this respect.
Not one of my children was born
with the slightest defect. They
were perfect physically and mentally
normal.
Though plural marriages are
thing of the past, the Mormons are
naturally a prolific people and the
church is growing through natural
increase as well as through CONVEX
sions. We believe it is the mission
of man to multiply. We are the
genuine proponents of the Roose-
veltian doctrine, the true antagonists
of race suicide"

CONGRATULATIONS

The results of the school elections
by which overwhelming majoritie;
were given in favor of the bond
issue, the authorization for the
trustees to purchase and build and
the selection of the Hampton site
are very gratifying and prove con-
clusively that the patrons of Stafford
school are progressive.
The great need of the district for
better school facilities will now be
accomplished. The building which
will provide for the high school and
for the several grades now crowded
out of the present school building,
will soon be erected, aad the people
will be glad and happy that they
have done such good and commend
able work.
The building that will be erected
will be a credit to the people of the
district. 1t will be a handsome i'm
provement to the town and will be
the best advertisement that possibly
could be given for a progressive
people and one that will attract the
attention of the outside world.
We have the best climate on earth.
We have pure mountain water, elec-
trio lights and town officials who are
progressive and believe In making
improvements that are permanent
and beautifying. With school
facilities that cannot be excelled
anywhere in the Southwest, 1t will

mediate conquest of Mexico, William

please interview Summerlin' g
father on uselessness of sacrifice. If
United States is now to accept medi-
alton, does he not think it outrageous
to have to send boys to be killed,
and the government decide fighting
is wrong? Please send good state
ment." ....
And the following is the reply the
Hearst outfit received:
Referring to kilograms to Geo
W. Melton. beg to say my brother,
Randolph Summerlin, was killed at
Vera Cruz in defense of our coun-
try's honor. We favor President
Wilson and the Democratic admins

fee if called upon. We think the

A GREAT ORGANIZATION

That the International Typograph'
ical Union is the greatest and most
successful labor organization in the
world is fast becoming matter of
public knowledge. 1t Is great be.
cause it does great things for its
members and equally great things
for the institutions which employs
It's membership. 1t is able to do
great things because it is managed
by men of brains and is composed
of men of consideration and tact
who not only know where their
rights end but where the rights of
others begin. In the whole history
of the organization it has never had
a serious general clash with employ
ing printers, unless the universal
S-hour day campaign may be con.
sidered as such, and the history of
that campaign shows that the de-.
sires of the union were obtained by
general peaceable means. in which
the most remarkable discretion was
manifested that has ever been
known in labor contest in all the
whole history of organized labor.
1t would be unfair to give this
union all the credit for the accom-
plishment of its advance, however,
in face of the fact that it has had a
class of employers to deal with who
have also manifested a wisdom and
liberality superior to employers in
most any other branch of present.
day industry class of men who
have been quick to recognize the
right of labor to organize and pos
sess a peculiar sense of justice with
reference to the question of labor
and capital.
A a result of the management of
this cooperative spirit, in which
brains and justice have played such
an important part, the international
Typographical Union today has a
membership of 10000 members in
good standing. 1t has in its treas
ury, for the benefit of this vast
army of skilled mechanics, over one
million dollars. 1t enjoys a univer~
sal 8-hour workday. It has advanced
its wage scale, without serious strikes
or lockouts, until its members are
perhaps better paid than mechanics
in any other line of skilled labor,
except those of extraordinary haz-
ard. This union has a national
home for its aged and infirm mem.
bers and their families. 1t provides
a splendid death benefit for its
members. 1t maintains school for
technical education in the trade.
Never taint of graft has touched
it, and today it stands forth a living
example of how perfectly the skilled
workmen of the world can main
tain union on the basis of equity,
justice, fair-play and a general fel.
low.consideration of the inherent
rights of mankind. The Silver Belt.
