PIONEERS
 DAY IN UTAH

Utah's own special festival, Pioneers' Day, will be generally observed today by the disciples of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism. It was on the twenty-fourth of July, 1S47. that the fleet of prairie schooners' which car- ried the first band of Mormons to Utah arrived at the site chosen for their settlement. The 'tNew Jerusalem was located on the banks of stream. which they called Jordan, connecting Utah Lake with Great Salt Lake, and there with solemn ceremonies the land was consecrated to God. Such was the beginning of Great Salt Lake City, now famous throughout the world as the capital and center of Mormonism.
 Just twenty years before the Nor mon hejira to Utah Joseph Smith had claimed to have had revealed to him by God the golden plates from which the Book of Mormon had been trans lated. In 1890, three years after the revelation, Smith founded the first Mormon church in Manchester, N. Y. From the first the sect was unpopular, and the search began flor a New Jerusalem where the followers of Smith might remain unmolested by the Gentiles. The first site chosen was at Kirtland, o. Smith and his associate. ,Rigdon. were dragged from. their beds

and tarred and feathered by indignant

and tarred and feathered by indignant Ohioans who alleged that they had
 been defrauded by the Mormons, but
 this did not discourage them. A cost
 ly temple, was built at Kirtland, and
 the church was reorganized, and a
 hierarchy was established with twelve
 apostles, one of whom was Brigham
 Young, painter from Vermont, who
 joined the new sect in Ohio. Their first missionaries were sent to Europe
 from Kirtland in 1887. Soon after
 that a bank conducted by Smith and
 Rigdon failed, and they fled to- Mis-
 souri, where an outpost of Mormon
 don had already been established at
 Independence, near Kansas City. In
 Missouri the Mcrmons were not want
 ed, and the conflicts between them and
 their neighbors reached the point lof
 civil war.
 The, Mormons, then several thou sands strong. settled in Illinois, and Smith established another New Jeru-
 salem at Nauvoo. At first they were cordially received by the Illinois au-
 thorities, and given extraordinary pow
 CTS, but soon the tide of public opinion
 turned against them and Smith, his brother Hyrum, and others were lodged in jail at Carthage. There they were attacked by mob and shot dead. With the death of the Prophet" !" Brigham Young became the head of the church. The Mormons were driven out of Illinois at the point of the bayo- lnet, and found a temporary refuge on the banks of the Missouri, where they built the city of Kanes From there men were sent into the western wilder ness to seek for promised land' where the Mormons, might establish Tan everlasting habitation." The Great Salt Lake Valley was chosen, and in 1847 a chosen band of 143 men, &C., companied by their families, and led by the president and the members of
 the high council, set our for their new home. Across the prairies and plains and over the painless mountains the caravan toiled, until at last, from the summfts of the Wasatch Mountains, the worn and weary pilgrims saw the placid waters of Great Salt Lake spread out before them. The country chosen for their new Canaan was then |nonlina11y part of the Mexican Re- public, and it was not unxn the follow ing year that possession passed to the United States.
 The pioneers sent back glowing re- ports, and soon Kane was deserted, and other Saints Hooked to the New Jerusalem, where the pioneers had or ganized an independent state called Deseret-"the land of the honey-bee.' .' Soon. afterwards the United States set up a territorial government, and Brig ham Young was appointed governor.

In, the political annals of Britain during the last quarter of a century few names figure more prominently than that of the Rt. Hon. Arthur James Balfour, author. philosopher, former Prime Minister, and First Lord of the Admiralty in the national cabi- net. MT. Balfour will be sixty-efght years old tomorrow, having been born on July 25, 1s4s. Aside from being one of the most prominent statesmen of latter-day England, he has an in- ternational reputation as writer and ferred upon him last month by King George was in recognition of his ser- vices in philosophy and literature. Soon after the outbreak of the war Mir. Balfour offered his services to Winston Spencer Churchill, then the Admiralty's civil lord, and he toiled |valorously in an office adjoining Churchi1ps until the formation of the coalition cabinet placed him at the head of the. Admiralty as Churchills 5 successor. Balfour's appointment was far from popular in many circles in England. as public sentiment favored the selection of Lord Fisher.
