Billy Sunday in New York

Billy Sunday (we cannot yet call him Rev. Billy" or Doctor Billy since he has been neither ordained nor degreed) closed very successful season in New York last week. The freewill offering s116 OO0 plus was the largest believe that has ever followed one of his meetings It the greater possibly because of the advertisement that half was to be donated by him to the Red Cross fund The remainder $5sO0O we suppose nicely covered the expenses of the Evan Selist and Ma Sunday during their stay in New York and no will deny that the laborer is worthy of his keep"

The New York Police

In consequence of the murder of Ruth Cruger a good many policemen of New York will be at liberty to join the army enter into some other vocation than that of guarding the peace of the metropolis The shake-up will affect probably not alone those policemen who stationed in the neghborhood of the murder but may extend throughout the parts of the city of disclosure of the general cynical, sinister indifference of policemen cases of this kind.
 It is said that 800 girls have mysteriously disap- peared within year in New York to be heard of The police, it has been brought out assume that these girls into lives of shame of their voltion and contemptuously reject theory agon- ized relatives that they forcbly away
 When the disappearance of Ruth Cruger brought to the attention of the police they assumed that she had eloped and character istcay washed their hands of the matter leaving stain the of the missing girl A lawyer Mrs. Humiston in some way learned where the girl last seen, the shop of an Italian motorcycle reparer. The police then made
 perfunctory search of the place but found nothing though the premises bristed with clues Against of ficial obstacles thrown in her way, Mrs. Humiston continued the search and uncovered the body the murdered girl
 The police have been accused of corrupt tion with the murderer That has been established and possibly has existence. But the cynical atti tude of the police in this and similar has established hence the promised shake-up.
 This attitude too frequent in official life Hold of official positions forget that they the and the overlords of the people whose suggestions they conemptuously reject, proceed about their business by ruiz of thumb methods It is this attitude and the apahetic acceptance of it by the people that renders the American government, national state and municipal, generally, expensive inefficient.

In spite of the heat. the Bible School at the First Christian church was well attended yesterday.

This Bible school, too, has an orchestra of fifteen pieces which plays each Sunday morning. Af- ter Bible school, Rev. w. $.

 The days in which Jesus was brought before Annas and Caiaphas
 were spring days and in these days they needed fire as we need fires in March and April.

TO PLANT GARDENS
 FUR CHARITY FUNDS

MESA, June 25.-The Woman's Re- lief society of the Latter Day Saints church is arranging to utilize the va cant lots in the town of Mesa, planting them to garden truck, to be sold and the proceeds to apply to the relief of homeless war orphans, and such other purposes as properly may come within the province of the society in connec- ti0n with the war fund Inasmuch as each block in the town contains ten acres and many of the blocks are not closely built, there is a considerable quantity of vacant land, which so far has been unproductive.
