DAILY CAPITAL.' JOURNAL, 8ALEM, OREQON. SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1904. frui -J Aiti&l IftORMON SYSTEM COMPLETE OOpperation the Keynote of Their Success The Mormon church Is stronger to day than it over was. If it wero not, President Joseph Smith never -would have dared to state openly that he was practicing polygamy 'n defiance of state and na tional laws. No church in the world is growing ho fast. All sorts and conditions of men are sought, and over them all the church 'reigns supreme. The keynote of the Mormon faith s co-operation. This is tho Becret of ts success. Bach member pays to ho church one-tenth of his "in Brease," and these "tithes" are turned n religiously. The denomination was founded in 830 by Joseph Smith, of Sharon, t. The government of the church 9 a hierarchy, consisting of two or- ers of priesthood, Tho order of Melchlezedek -is pr& Ided over by a president and two ounselors. It includes tho "twelve postles," "tho seventies," tho patri- rch, the high priests nnd the eiders. Tho Aaronlc order Is an inferior no, made up of bishops, prle3ts, achers and deacons. The president, Joseph Smith, is ipreme, nnd next to him are the 'ounselors. Tho apostlo3 constitute traveling high council, which on ialns priests and is supreme in ec eslastical affairs. The seventies ,re the missionaries and propagan- Ists of tho order. The patriarch onounces tho blessings of the urch and the high priests officiate the absence of tho higher authorl- e&. Tno eiders conduct meetings el superintend th,o work of tho tests. The duties of the Aaronlc order e largely secular. Tho territory of o church is divided and subdivided to districts. This makes easier tho llectlon of the tithes and the gov- nment of the faithful. The bishops esldo over tho district and direct e work of thq teachers. There Is a teacher for every two ocks In tho city nnd for so many uaro miles in tho country. They ep tab on the members, collect thes and direct tho temporal as ell as spiritual affairs of their arges. The teachers meet every month in ch ward or district, report on con iltlons, and explain the goings of lach man or woman under them. The bishops listen to these reports d report In turn at a conference of shops to the council of the apostles. Is It any wonder then that a church Ith such a perfect organization can' ntrol a stato and name every offi- al from governor to constable? Tho co-operative principle Is car ed Into business affairs of tho Mqr ons. Besides being president of e church, Smith Is president of a zen of tho biggest commercial on nlzatlons In the state, including o Zlon Co-operatlvo Morcantilo Co., o Zlon Savings Bank & Trust Co., ;tate Bank of Utah, Consolidated agon & tachlne Co.. Utah Sugar Utah Light & Power Co., Inland ystal Salt Co. and many others. As tho church Is supported by Ithes," It Is necessary that the embers succeed financially and the urch sees to it that they do. When the church exercises such absolute control over its. members In business and religion, It will be seen how readily It can control them poetically. It is stated that the group' of four or five claims of the Pborman Mining Company, in the Blue River district, on the Linn county side, have been bonded for $50,000. This company is composed mostly of Brownsville meu, N. B. Standish being a leading stock holder. Tho Poorman mlnps mMnln tho3o of tho Oriental Co., of this city, Tho transaction will mean a good deal for tho mines. The Trained Nurse HER STRENGTH SOMETIMES TAXED BEYOND THE LIMIT. A Graduate of the New York Training School Tells How She Recupe rates After Heavy Strain. The trained nurse plays a very Im portant part in the modern treatment of disease greatly to the relief of both doctor and patient. Because she Is well disciplined sho is able to per form difficult service and to endure fatigue In a manner that excites ad miration and wonder. Sho is human, however, nnd In try ing cases tho demands upon her strength provo excessive. Sho full fills her duty nobly to tho last mo ment but, as soon as she is relieved sho is compelled to build up her own weakened powors. She naturally wants the. remedy that will restore her efficiency In the shortest possible time, and as her knowledge of medi cines Is wide, her choice is likely to bo a sensible one and a remarkably good guide for everybody else. Every word of tho following care ful statement of Mrs. Jessie M. F. Cummlngs, of 61 Whitmore street, Hartford, Conn., a graduate of the Now York Training School for Nurses, is entitled to the weight which at taches to the utterance of an expert: "Several months ago' said Mrs. Cummlngs recently, "I was completely worn out as tho result of a very seri ous and trying case I had attended. I needed a tonic, and so I got six boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and took them faithfully. I obtained the good from them I ex pected to, and I can say with truth and pleasure that tho remedy is a splendid tonic for woman's nerves." The soundness of Mrs. Cummlngs' opinion Is confirmed by tho experi ence of numerous sufforors from ner vous disorders of every kind and de gree, from simple debility to partial imralvsls. Dr. Williams' Pink Pllla have cured obstinato cases of neural. gla, prostration, sciatica and St. Vitus dance; they have even conquered tho most frightful of nervous diseases, locomotor ataxia, after the patient had been reduced to a state of help. lessnoss and had been told to prepare for death. They check waste and bsgln to min ister a fresh and lasting vitality at once. They are sold by all druggists throughout tho world. A booklet giv ing Information of t;reat value In the treatment of nervouff diseases will be sent free on application to tho Dr Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. OASTOIUA.
