THE , GRAIN QUESTION The Ilellef Society Bulletin for September, under tho heading, "The Grain Question," gives h very timely articlo written by Emmellne B. Wells as follows; Just after the October conference in 1876, President Young sent for me to como to his ofllco and Instructed me to write an editorial urging the sisters to begin laying up grain against h day of need. Ifolt very timid about giving this important ud- vice and went to Sister Eliza R. Snow but she said: "You havo been called to do this and It Is for you to com-' ply." I then went to .President Daniel II. Wells, who gave mo tho same answer an-swer that Sister Eliza had given and then I wrote the article and submitted submit-ted it to President Young for approval. appro-val. Ho was satisfied with it, but dictated another paragraph, which) contained advice to the biothrcn to assist flio sisters in this new enterprise. enter-prise. This was the first adylco over given to women to commence the 1 storing of grain for a time ot uccd. . President Young said: "I have called call-ed upon and urged the brethren to lay up grain against a day ot wont, . iind they do not follow my advice; they excuse themselves by saying their wives and daughters want tho proceeds of (he grain to buy hats and bonnets," etc. In fact, ho gave me quite a dissertation on tho excuse! made by the brethren, and tAen ox- plained that it the sisters were told to savo grain they would not sell it. Ever since that tlmo our sisters have continued this work to havo grain, and somo wonderful experiences havo beou realized along these lines. In all theso years we have not had much need tq use the grain stored awny for the purpose it was .designed but with the dark cloud hovering ov er the world as It now does, we can f see tho prophetic wisdom ot President Young in calling upon tho sisters to 1 save grain against a time ot need. All Europo and practically tho eastern continent are Involved in this conflict ot war, and there seems little lit-tle prospect of matters being adjusted adjust-ed at present for permanent peace. The efforts made during the last few years to, establish, peaco among nations na-tions and peoples seem particularly significant of the disturbances soon to como which would enhance the value of peaco. Whon tho world's greatest advocates for the rolgn ot peaco met at Tho Hague wo might havo understood (If wo did not) that war was about to como upon the peo-plo peo-plo and now' behold, it Is almost at our own door, In id, significantly enough, is raging with the greatest fury lu Bo'gium Itsolt. . From tho first prophetic advlco given giv-en us by President Brigham Young, wo havo been doing moro or loss as tho years wont by, and havo kopt on urging tho sisters to do what thoy could In storing grain tigalust a dny of need. Heber C. Kimball who was vory prophetic In his preaching and teaching uttered many prodlotlous warning the peoplo against a day of scarcity and famine: at ono, time he said tho day would como when a barrel ot flour would bo worth' a barrel bar-rel ot gold. Some who are not In sympathy with our wheat gathering policy are fond ot' telling us that It Is very llftle we have dono thus far' compared with what would be needed If famine really real-ly came. But who knows bow that little might be increased to a great deal should occasion require It! Miracles Mir-acles havo been wrought In this church and may bo again, according to our faith. At all ovents, let us d. all that is possible .to increaso our measures 'o! grain this incoming harvest, har-vest, andtrust tho Hoavonly Father to hid and assist us In our undertakings undertak-ings in this direction. This may bo tho beginning ot tho very war that tho Prophet Jqsepb Smith prohpesjed would cover the earth, when thero would be no peace found anywhero, and peoplo would flee to Zlon in tho mountains for, safety; thero would bo such confusion confu-sion and difficulties that people would be glhd to come to escapa.trom the dangers of all kinds that threaten -the world. Already there has been 'war in Mexico that hfistaused'our poo plo to flee to tho United 'states. Wo chnnot be, too prudent.

EMMEL1NE B. WELLS. C. C. GOODWIN'S COMMENT ON THE CONVENTION In an editorial headed, "The Republican Repub-lican Nominations," Judge " C. C. Goodwin, so long the editor of the Salt Lake Tribune and at one time a pronounced nntl-Smoot man, candidly candid-ly admits that Reed' Smoot Is a man of ability, entitled to the honor ot a rertomlnatlon. Coming from tho old wnrhorso of the Kearns forces, this tends to prove that Senator Smoot through his recognized talents as a national legislator, Is overcoming much of Aho early prejudlce which was directed against him from certain cer-tain quartors and Is winning support from men who at ono time wore btt-retly btt-retly opposed to htfh. Judge Goodwin says7 "Tho nominations In tho convention on Tuesday of Senator Smoot, Superintendent Super-intendent ot Schools Matheson and Judge McCarty for the supreme bench wero Just as they BhouTil have been. "Senator Smoot hhs through his hard work grown to be ono of the very ablest senators In congress, aad according to' both nepubllejLfand Democratic testimony he Is the most faithful worker in congress. AM the time, too, he has been faithful to his party and to the best interests ot bis Btate and .country. Ho deserved tho honor of a nomination by acclamation. acclama-tion.

He hhs be'en on tho bench for years, his ability, bis perfect faithfulness and absolute fairness fair-ness have never bee,n for a moment questioned by political friend or1 enemy. en-emy. - "That he would and ought to" be nominated was all the time thought as goodas settled. la those nomln' atlons tho convention merely ratlfled the will ot a majority of all the people peo-ple ot the state."
