MORMONS PROGRESSIVE COLONISTS
Of all group-peoples in the United States, few hav<
approached the Mormons in point of successful coloniza
tion, due to the fact that, aside from what was originalb
a pronounced clan system, they differ in no other essen
tials from other religious organizations of the country
Without the expression of this religious belief no om
could distinguish a Mormon from a Gentile, the latte:
term being employed not to express a racial or biologica
trait, but rather as singling out the remainder of citi
zens from those of Mormon belief.
It was due to the communistic—or rather commu
nity system—that the first Mormons were able to estab
lish themselves in the State of Utah. With ox-carts am
a few agricultural implements and personal belonging:
they reclaimed a vast area which has become a grea
State. As conditions changed and modern progress begai
to manifest itself in the West, the Mormons kept pace ii
the development of arts and sciences, which has found ex
pression in many noted artists, including Maude Adams
Wanda Lyon, a leading soprano soloist and opera star
contributions to the science of metallurgy and agricul
ture.
Many changes have come since the issuance of th<
manifesto abolishing polygamy. With the passing of thi,
relic of ancient religions there was nothing left of a con
tentious nature between Morman and Gentile.
It is suggested that a Mormon colony be introduce*
into Southwestern Alaska. Such a colony would be wel
corned as a valuable adjunct to the Territory both as a con
structive element and as contributors to the social am
business life of the community.
Leave a man’s religion alone ‘and you can get alon^
with him. If you want trouble begin to assail it. Tha
is applicable to the Mormon as well as to the Catholic
Protestant, Mohammedan, Budhist or any other unit o:
religious belief. Any effort to paint the Mormon in an]
other light is a display of ignorance of the people and big
otry.
The Legislature waited until the eleventh hour to put
over the appropriation and taxation bills. Within a short
time we will be able to ascertain how many Ethiopians
crept into the woodpile.
Henry Judd Gray says Mr. Snyder’s magnetism drew
him hundreds of miles to commit a murder. Some wave
length, we should say.
The easiest way for China to raise her indemnities
will be to re-establish the pigtail. American women will
soon be wanting wings and rats.
The Boy Scout of today will be the world leader of to
morrow.
If a man says he’s wet the “Goo-goo” society pillories
him and if he says he’s dry the other fellow7 says he has the
support of the bootleggers.
The Prince of Wales says that a boy who threw a
book at him ought to be knighted. The same might be
said of some American judges if they “threw the book” at
some of the offenders coming before them.
b The cackle of a hen is sweet music to the Japanese
while in America it is just grounds for a divorce.
A London social lioness is going to Africa to mingle
with the jungle species to tame down.
Maybe Governor Smith’s dryness is sonofMng like
that of the Governor of North Carolina.
When Charlie married her she was Leita Grey. Now
Charlie is rapidly becoming Darker Grey, and Lita is be
coming blue over failure to secure the “green.”
