"The Jpower to reduce rates depends , on the amount of the net earnings of a utility.

Her added engagement commences at this afternoon's performances and will last till Thursday night. "I should Ilka to have It known that we are holding Madame Jomelli for as many .days as wo can secure her, not only as an added attraction, but to somewhat compensate the public for our failure to have seven acts on the .bill during the past week, said Mana ger Conion last night. "Madame Jomelli has, I believe, made an Impression more favorable than any singer who has visited Port land on the - vaudeville circuit. Her total lack, of affectation and her choice of songs, as well as her excellent voice, have caused this. This week she will sing the 'Last Rose of Summer', Home, Sweet Home,' and other popular favor ites." NATIONAL GUARD NOTES Getting Hew Becmits.

The elimination of poverty is the foremast aim of Frederick M. Smith, the new acting head of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the re organized Mormon church. This young leader of 60,000 church members' has outlined a' campaign of social reform, and is completing his studies at Clark university in order that he may be sufficiently , equipped in knowledge of philosophy to put bis ideas to prac tical test. - Young Mr. Smith has been for some time-the "chief aid of his father, Pres ident Joseph Bmith, who died recently at Independence, -Mo. Through the aid of a secretary he will be able to remain In Worcester and keep in touch with the work of the church by means of a system of reports which be has Inaugurated. The election r Mr. Smith to the presidency next April. -will mean the beginning iof a new era in tbe reorgan ised Mormon church. TJie doctrines of the young leader are considered rad leal by outsiders. - "It Is our belief," said Mr. Smith, that ltis .not Intended that some should have an overabundance- of wealth "hoardings beyond all their needs while others have nothing, ..We believe that everything a man pos sesses ' beyond- a comfortable compe rence, should be turned over to the church treasury for redistribution and readjustment along judicious lines. ! "The socialists and the . commun ists nave ine risiil iuu m mnwure, but they lack the religious element. It is often easy to convert the brain without converting the heart. We be' lieve in this doctrine of social econ omv as an article of faith. , "There . is a growing sentiment in our church in favor of putting this doctrine into practice. It should be done. " There are millionaires in our faith who bave told me theV are ready to lay their' wealth on the altar of the ctuirch as eoon as tne plan is put into practice. .There are merchants who have expressed the same inclination to me. I should consider this as future oolicy of the. church. -We believe there should not be any ooor people. There Is no place for the drone in our fold. The roan who is at a business that he is not competent to run to advantage and at a profit. should be turned to some other voca tion andViSoma one put in his place wha can make of his business what it should be. , "The money - which will go into the church in this way Is not a charitable fund, and those , who benef ifc from it are not partaking of charity. Those who need help get it. because they are entitled to It by reason of misfortune. The 'Widow with a family of chlldrea to look after gets her; help from these funds and stands as high as any in tbe sight of the church. She is not considered as a recipient of charity."
