Show ANOTHER "COINCIDENCE,". Tho latest issue of the Magrath (Canada) Pioneer received at this office of-fice contains tho following notice: PROCLAMATION. To the Citizentt of Magrath: I hereby declare the afternoon of Wednesday, June 1st, a civic holiday, for the purpose of celebrating tho opening of the new public school. CHRIS. JENSEN, Mayor. In which may possibly appear another an-other of those "happy coincidences' that appear in the public acts of public officials who may in an way be influenced in-fluenced by tho Mystic Melcliiscdelcrf. Magrath is located in f."ho Canadian polygamous colony of the Mormon church. The first day of June is the anniversary of the birth of Brigham Young. The public, school of that I own is controlled, of course, by the polygamous polyga-mous cult. It was Brigham Young who first caused the public announcement of adoption of tho polygamous doctrine and practice in Utah in August, 1852. Why not, therefore, mnko double use of tho public school opening for tho purpose of honoring tho memory of the opon announcer of polygamy, and incidentally inci-dentally dedicate a public school building build-ing to the education of the polygamous 3'oung of this particular town in this particular polygamous refuge? Whonevor the Mormon '.Melchisedeks fail to cause expenditures of .innli : l.ix moneys to bring some, tulvaniag.' to them and theirs, it may J f-afoh as sumed that tho opportunity was simpl overlooked. |
