Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: What
evil genius conspired to persuade the
legislature that passed the auto reg
istration law to fix the office of the
secretary of state as the only place
from which man may obtain an
auto license will probably never be-
come apparent in this world. That
particular clause OF the law has
caused more profane language and
more confusion than any other, OF
perhaps all the other provisions OF
the statute. There is at present a
strong agitation throughout the state
to amend the registration law to per-
NIT the issuance OF state licenses at
the Offices OF the county auditors.
This is what should have been pro-
vided when the law was written.

national defense, but added insurance

MORMON MoDEsTY SHOCKED.

The ancient and honorable Joe Smith, presi
dent of the Mormon church, is becoming imbued
with sensationalism In a preachment de-
livered at the Sunday school conference in the
Salt Lake City tabernacle he asserted that the
dresses the young women wear these days are
an offense to the modesty of honorable men, y
When it comes to a question of modesty,
none is so modest as the members of the Nor
mon church hierarchy. Modesty is their spe-
cialty and they almost have monopoly OF it.
And what they don't know about fashions
isn't worth knowing. We quote literally from
Brother Joe's sermon
