___NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, BALTIC BRIDGE DOWN SUDDENLY Part Dropped Into Canal When Trusses Were Removed—Had Shown Weakness For Some Time—Selectmen Had Be- gun Repairs on It—Probable That Bridge Will Need to Be Rebuilt. i ‘Wednesday afternoon while workmen in the employ of the seleetmen of the town of Sprague were’at work upon one of the bridges at Baltic, which the selectmen were to have repaired, the bridge unexpectedly collapsed on one side, allowing portlons of the bridge to drop to the water line. The bridge is over the canal and leads to the road to Hanover. Tuesday the bridge was closed and the work of repairs was begun by tak- ing out some of the trusses, which it ‘was necessary to remove in order to put in some new pieces. The truss:s were of the overhead type, and when the last of these were being removed DEMOCRATIC STEERING COMMITTEE MEETS. Senator Avory_;\tnndod Session in New Haven. The democratic steering committee of the state senate, of which Senator Charles S. Avery is a member, mst Tuesday afterncon in New Haven. The Norwich senator attended. The steering committee first ‘took up the matter of a general legislative programme to carry out the platform pledges. It was the unanimous senti- ment that every plank on the plat- form should be transiated into legis- lation, in order that the party could gay that it had carried out all of its campaign promises. - First to come under particular discussion was the workmen’s compensation act, and a sub-committee was appointed to draw up a suitable act. Another sub-com- mittee was appointed o wait on Gov- ernor Baldwin and ascertain if he had any special measures to Tecommend. STARTING M’CRUM-HOWELL.

It had shown weakness there by sagging before the repairs were be- gun. The selectmen had realized that the bridge was in bad shape, but just how bad they did not know. This they ex- pected to ascertain by examination as the repairs were carried along. The weakness shown now, is was statad Wednesday night, might indicate that a substantial rebuilding of the bridgs Was necessary, ‘When the water is low, on Satur- day, a thorough examination can be made to determine just what will be required to put the bridge into safe condition again. MORMONISM DISCUSSED BY LOCAL BAPTISTS F. D. Vergason, C. D. Noyes, H. H. Pettis and James M. Young the Speakers at Central Church. Mormonism was the topic for the second meeting in the Week of X(Js- sions at the Central Baptist church Wednesday evening, and the subject aroused much interest in the good- sized audience present. The pastor, Rev. P. C. Wright, led the meeting, and there were four addresses, the speakers being F. D. Vergason, C. D. Noyes, H, H. Pettis and James M. Young. History Presented. Mr, Vergason was the first speaker, and his talk was on the history of the Mormons and their books. He traced in an interesting manner the life of the cult from its founding to the pres- ent day. The Golden Bible, the book on which Mormonism is based, the gpeaker designated as a big fraud from start to finish, setting forth the most improbable occurrences and con- tradicting its own statements. The only element of truth in the book, he said, is in certain passages which are taken almost word for word from the Christian Bible. Joseph Smith, the founder of the sect, the embodiment of cruelty and immorality, he said, is hardly the man whom we would con- celve as of God's choice for the reve- lation of His Word. Mormons in Politics. Charles D. Noyes spoke on the rela- tion of the Mormon church to politi- cal life. In delving into the matter, Mr. Noyes said, he had been amazed to discover the tremendous influence which is today exercised in politics by the Mormon church. How few of us know or realize the influence of this un-American institution not only in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, but in all the Pacific coast states and even up into Alberta! All through this ter- ritory the Mormons exercise a politi- cal influence entirely out of propor- tion to their numbers. They always vote in a unit. Any political party unless possibly the prohibitionists, would deal with the Mormons provid- ed they deliver the goods. Both the republican and democratic parties have had political dealings with the Mor- mons and the leader, certainly, of the progressives has dealt with the Mor- mon vote, Playing Politics in Utah, ‘When Utah became a state she con- tinued to be under the thumb of the Mormon. Brigham Young was a great buflder up of the state and fought to the bitter end all attempts on the part of the Gentiles and of the government to gain a footing in Utah. The state charter prohibited forever any union of church and state and also prohib- ited polygamy. With Utah admitted to the unmion, big business began to take a hand in affairs, eastern capi- talists and business men began to look for a footholq there, and all these had to deal with one man, the head of the Mormon church. The politician fol- lowed blg business into Utah. In 1900 Utah went democratic and the uniform marriage laws which would' have been a serious blow to Mormon- ism was killed. This looks like poli- tivs. When the Mormons desired to send Smoot to congress, Theodore Roosevelt objected strenuously, but he later changed his position and advo- cated Smoot’s election. Roosevelt's influence was doubtless in a large measure responsible for Smoot’s‘ elec- tion. Roosevelt wanted to be elected president and needed Utah's vote, Roosevelt’s attitude towards Smoot was repaid, for Utah went republican in 1904. More politics. With the seat- ing of Smoot in congress the opposi- tion in Utah was paralyzed. The Gen- ]ule in Utah realizes that he must shut up or be driven out. The Mormon himself must stand pat or he is os- tracized. The Mormons have no par- ty politics outside of Mormon poli- tics, They vote with the party in pow- er. On the close of Mr. Noyes' talk Mrs, Grace Aldrich Crowell rendered a pleasing solo. The third speaker was H. H. Pettis, and his topic was Polygamy. Mormoniem and Polygamy Synony- mous, Most of us, said Mr. Pettls, connect with the word Mormonism, polygamy, and with the word polygamy, Mormon- ism, and for once the public is right in its opinion, for Mormonism is polyg- amy and polygamy is Mormonism in America, You will learn with surprise the fact that the Golden Bible, on which Mormonism is founded, neither excuses nor advocates polygamy. From 1832 to 1852, polygamy was officially denied as existing among the Mor- mons, although in reality it did exist. In 1852, having taken : possession of Utah and conquered the desert, and feeling that they had sufficient strength to combat successfully the moral sense of the American people, the Mormons announced a revelation rmitting and even commanding po- lygamy. Thus polygamy was openly practiced for a period of thirty years. In 1882 it was again denied that polyg- amy existed in Utah, but from 1894 until time to admit Utah to statehood polygamy was openly practiced, There is today the law on the stat- ute books of Utah which forbids po- lygamy. Today the Mormon admits that polygamy is very wrong, admits that it once existed in Utah ang was a very great evil, but that it is now a thing of the past, and that is just what the everage American thinks, But it is not a thing of the past, it is not dying out, it is alive and growing. In 1911, out of fifteen Mormon church leaders, eight were living in open po- lygamy, and if the leaders, the men who laok to the people for their elec- tion, openly Practice polygamy, it must be with the approval of their people whe must do likewise. The same condi exist in 1912 and frem present indieations will exist in 1913, Degradation of Women, Polygamy’s effect on the Mermons themselves can be but the most de- grading, and especially true ig this of the women. Absolute de; of woman, the wiping out of | that is greatest and best in womdnhood is the resuit of polygamy and the Mor- mon weman’s life Is a burdeff of . l&m to herself. Polygak lo¥e, and breeding sirife sien, It has taken the p tah and made them a race of hypocrites and liars. . The question must come to us how these conditions can exist in Utah to- A HAPPY, LAUGHING ! CHILD IN FEW HOURS.

Pleasant, easy, safe and only 25 cents at Lee & Osgood Co. day. Why do the people submit to the rule of the Mormon leaders and to the evils of polygamy? The Mormon cannot leave his faith for he is boy- cotted, cut off by his relatives and friends and driven from the commun- ity. Another thing which keeps polyg- amy in existence is the teaching that no woman can enjoy the after life save she be called by her husband, and hence her self-abasement. Many in- telligent Mormons who do not believe in their doctrines way down in their | hearts, yet continue as Mormons, be- cause an admission of the evil of | polygamy credits their parents with a life of shame. The government has failed to down Mormonism and polygamy. There is but one thing which can do it and that | is Christianity, and thus the matter is up to you and me as Christians to settle. | The final speaker was J. M. Young, : who talked on Mormonism as a life and its effect on morals. His remarks were somewhat of a humorous nature and proved most interesting. Rural and City Problems.

FREIGHT BUSINESS GROWING, Faster Deliveries Expected Here by Improvements to Be Made. An increase in local business during the past year is apparent from the fact that freight handled at local office of | the New oYrk, New Haven and Hart- | ford Tailroad exceeds that of the pre- vious year by . 23,000,000 pounds. Al year ago the amount was 66,000,000, | and this year it is 89,000,000 pounds. The large amount of business and lack of room for handling freight has caus- ed some delays in delivery in the past, but it is expected that this trouble will be remedied by the addition which is to be made op the receiving side of the freight house, which will double the capacity of this department. The track will be moved over to the edge of the river and the platform will be erected where the tracks now lie. In the past it has been possible to have but eighteen cars on the line for unloading, while oftentimes there were fifty waiting to be unloaded. WEDDINGS. Welles—Leemis. Miss Helena May Leemis of this city and Benjamin Edward Welles of 0Old Mystic were united in marriage at noon Wednesday at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Leemis, 46 Ward street. Rev. J. El- dred Brown officiated. The ceremony was performed before a bank of palms and chrysanthemums with an arch of vellow chrysanthemums. The matron of honor was Mrs. Fannie Morgan of 0Old Mystic, a sister of the groom, and Philip Berker of Providence was best man. The brid attractivety gowned in white k chiffon over messaline and her veil was caught with lilies of the valley and white rosebuds. She carried white chrysanthemums and wore a string of pearls, the gift of the groom. Mrs. Morgan wore Alice blue messaline and carried chrysanthe- mums. A reception followed the wedding ceremony, and refreshments were served. The numerous and beautiful gifts to the bride included cut glass, linen, china, silver and embroidery.

To temporarily hide or bleach the de- fective skin with cosmetics, cannot compare with the effect of literally re- moving the skin itself, Mercolized wax takes off the offending surface skin in flour-like particles, a little at a time, until there’s none of it left, The new complexion thus produced exhjbits a healthy glow and girlish beauty ob- tainable in ne ether way. This wax, which you can get at your druggist’s, is applied at night in the same way you use cold cream, and washed off next merging, - Here i8 the enily thing I know eof that actually dees remove wrinkles, re- move them,guickly, ard at trifling cost: Powdered lite, 1 0%, dissolved in % pt. witch Use as a face bath.
