SOME MORMON FIGURES. The presence of a Mormon Bishop and the ac-| tivity of his church in Alaska is creating some- thing of a r yal of interest in the famous Utah religious organization. To those who have not fol- lowed closely the progress of the Mormons it might be surprising that it was diclosed at the recent con- ference, the 99th annual conference, that during 1928 there were accessions numbering more than 51,000 of whom more than 34,000 were children. During the year the church expended more than $1,200,000 in the erection of church edifices and individual members contributed more than $1,000,000 additional for that purpose—making a building pro- gram for the year of $2,200,000. - The church spent over $900,000 to sustain its missionary work in which more than 2,000 persons are laboring—giving their time and services free. Individual members spent more than $960,000 for this purpose. More than $900,000 was expended for Mormon education including the construction and operation of Church schools. There are 16,300 students in the seminaries and Church schools where higher education is ac- quired. The Church spent more than $800,000 for charity during the year. By far the greater part of this expenditure was upon non-Mormons. Another interesting group of Mormon figures is that which tells the story of the Church’s vital statistics. These figures show that the birth rate among the Church members was nearly 30 per 1,000 of population—299 to be exact. The average in the United States is less than 20 and the high- est State average is about 24. The death rate is 7.8 per 1,000, just over one-half of the National rate and much less than the lowest State rate. The marriage rate is 147. Familics owning their own homes number 70 per’ cent. of thé total number in the Church. These statistics which are taken from the ad- | Alaska and who grew to lovo the great North-|eaten them.” dress of President Heber J. Grant at the annual confernce indicate that there is full justifcation for the President's declaration that the work of the Church is progressing satisfactorily. CONGRESSMEN APPLAUD KILLING Or BOY. The action of the National House of Represen- tatives in breaking into applause when it was an- nounced from the floor that a boy driving an auto- mobile which contained contraband liqguor was shot through the head and instantly killed by a motor- cyclist when hé refused to obey a demand to halt has called down upon the House the anathema of a lot the leading newspapers. The Record shows that Representative Holaday of Illinois de- of scribed how the boy was killed, whereupon there was applause. The fellowing day, Representative La Guardia of New York attempted to get the noted applause stricken from the Record, but Representative Jected The New York World collected the following as representative editorial comment on the subject: CHICAGO TRIBUNE (Rep.)—The ex- hibition of fanatic furiosity in the House of Representatives Friday is nothing less than horrifying. That it shames us before the eyes of all civilized peoples is painful enough to any self-respecting American. The first reaction must be one of horror at an outbreak of brutal and perverted bigotry in the highest legislative body of the land. It reminds us sharply that the ruthless- ness and savagery of past ages and other lands persist today in our own age and country, but to have this unhappy truth blaze upon us from the-high seat of Am- erican Government, in a body representing the American commonwealth, is the most striking warning we have had since the Pro- hibition experiment began® that it involves the degradation of the traditional spirit of Americanism, its light and its humanity. * Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch (Dem.) —If a majority of a great Federal law-mak- ing body can so far forget itself as to indulge in a degrading exhibition of sadism, a delight in inflicting punishment on Pro- hibition law violators, what right has the country to expect that enforcement officers will need the warning of President Hoover that they must not violate other laws in Albert Johnson of Washington ob- the attempt to enforce any single legisla- tive enactment? DETROIT FREE PRESS (Ind. Rep.)— The dry members of the Lower House of Congress who broke into delightful ap- plause when they heard of the death of Fleming disgraced themselves both as Con- gressmen and as men and brought scandal upon the United States. They acted like a gang of bloodthirsty savages. The taking of human life in order to stop crime or punish it sometimes is jus- tifiable and necessary; but the act never is a reason for joy or exultation. The man who laughs and chuckles ‘over 'a killing ex- hibits the spirit of a murderer. And the outburst in the House or Representatives is a warning of the presence in the land of a spirit akin to the spirit of witch tor- | due turers and burners of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. BALTIMORE SUN (Dem.) — It is an amazing thing to witness in the House an outburst of jubilation over the killing of a | man for violation of the Volstead law. There is hardly another crime in the cal- endar for which summary punishment by death would have prompted such a dem- onstration. The happening is thus a sig- nificant illustration of the fact that in the case of this one law a sense of propor- tion is being lost. Prohibition and its enforcement is reaching a stage where it is getting on the nerves of the country. While talking about the tariff and American "TALONG (IFP'S | DETOUR !

The long and useful career of Brigadier-General Wilds P. Richardson, U. S. A, retired, was closed this week when death intervened and took him from his bed of illness in the Walter Reed Hos~ pital in Washington, D. C. While his passing came as no surprise among a number of Alaskans who knew that his ailment could only end in death, when the final summons came it must have fell upon the people of Alaska as a distinct shock, for he was at once one of the best known and most revered men who had been identified, for so long a time, with the development and opening of the Northern Territory. For he was the pioneer road and trail builder of Alaska. “Colonel Dick” Richardson, for it was as “Colonel Dick” that the sourdoughs knew him and loved him, went into Alaska in 1898, in the line of his duty as an army officer. He was stationed on the Yukon River when the great stampede was on to the Klondike. It was while stationed there that he conceived the plan for road and trail building! in Alaska, and he was authorized by the War De- partment to do some road and trail work. In 1905, to a nation-wide sentiment that had been aroused by the activity of “Colonel Dick,” the Con- gress passed an act creating the Alaska Road Com- mission. He was the first President of this com- mission and remained in that capacity until sum- moned to return to duty in the regular Army, and was sent “over there.” That was in 1917. His outstanding work—a work that will stand as a monument to him as long as time shall en- , was the building of the Richardson High- projected from Valdez, on the Southern coast to Fairbanks, in Interior Alaska. Later this highway was connected with Chitina, in the Copper River Valley. In =all, “Colonel Dick” passed twenty-one years of his life in Alaska—the prime of his life. And this pioneering in a pioneer country was of his own free will. The longer he remained there, the better he liked the Northland and the hardy in- habitants of Uncle Sam’s last frontier. His duties as President of the Alaska Road Commission took him to all parts of Alaska, and his acquaintance lwns perhaps, as large as that of any other man. Of the triumvirate of Federal officials, each in a widely separate field of endeavor, who pioneered land, two have been called—Alfred Hulse Brooks, Geologist, and “Colonel Dick” Richardson, road and trail builder.

If the United States Customs officers had set out to add to Mr. Hoover's early embarrassments as President they could harly have done so better than by the present excesses, serious and ridiculous, 01‘ their zeal. Compared with sinking a foreign ship on the high seas: or heaving to a millionaire's yacht by firing across its bows, it is no doubt a small matter to impound a copy of Rabelais that is being taken ashore by a book-collector well known on both sides of the Atlantic. But absurd though the incident is, it serves to remind Americans that a great deal of arbitrary power is wielded at the ports by a staff that has little capacity to exercise it wisely. It is not long since the American Customs held up 600 copies of “The Arabian Nights” and another 600 of “The Decameron.” They can, in fact, seize anything that is deemed to be “obscene” by officers who are quite incompetent to judge, and though appeal may be made to the higher officials of the Department it so rarely succeeds that it is seldom thought worth while. Our own system of unofficial censorship has lately come in for some well-deserved criticism, but at its worst it is not, S0 irksome as this. More exasperating, however, than the loss of a Rabelais to a collector who can lay hold of another tomorrow in his own country is the raid made on the crew's quarters of the Bel- genland and the carrying off of the souvenirs the men had collected in various of the world’s ports because they had been omitted from the ship’s mani- fest. The mistake was ungraciously made and more ungraciously amended, for when ordered to return Fhe trinkets the Customs dumped them, damaged and incomplete, on the ship's deck while the crew were on shore. The knowledge that Americans them- selves are as impatient as are their visitors of thesc a_bsurdmes helps to soothe the tempers of the vic- tims, but it is clearly high time that someone in autority took in hand the curbing of the misplaced and often arrogant officiousness of State.
