In the passing of Elizabeth Rant-
ing, widow of James E. Wallis; which
occurred on Monday at the home of
her son, C. J. Wallis, Clinton, Gode-
rich Township has lost one of the
oldest.. pioneer settlers. Mrs. Wallas,
who was in her 93rd year, was born

Goderich Township, by whom she
was predeceased by nineteen years.
They farmed on the lst concession,
Goderich Township, their farm fac-
ing what is now familiarly known as
the Blue Water highway, in whieh
their son Walter and family reside.
Twenty-five, years ago they retired
from farming and took up residence
in Bayfield, where Mr. Wallis died.
Mrs, Wallis lived with a daughter,
Mrs, Garrett, of Londesboro, for four
years, and for the past eight years
made her home with her son, C. J.

Polgamy Survives
Among the Mormons
(By J. V. McAree in the Mail and
Empire).
That traces of polygamy still sur-
vive among the M'orm'ons in Utah is
the statement of Louis W. Larsen in
Phe American Mercury. Mr. Larsen
does not write as a sensationalist nor
a muck -raker, but with sympathy for
those elder .Mormons who were
brought+up to believe that polygamy
was part of a Divine revelation and
that its moral force, apart from its
egal practise, •' could not be altered
by a law of the United States, nor
even by a decree of the church itself.
The first generation of American Mon
nons who made the Homeric trek to
Utah, are, of course, long sirico dead.
ell of them believed in polygamy,
hough by no miean's all of them prac-
ised it, economiie reasons fonbidding.
Those who are now practising poly-
gamy, at least in theory, are the old-
er people of the second generation
vho took their religion a good, deal
nore seriously than the present gen-
ration, which is .very difficult to dis-
inguish from, the surrounding Gen-
iles. For the modern Mormon is a
golfer and probably a Rotarian. "He
s engaged in big business. He may
be a political boss or a scientist. He
probably would not insist that Joseph
Smith did actually dig up those tab-
ets upon which were inscribed the
aws upon which the church was
ou nded.
The Doctrine Stands,.
It is interesting to note 'that the
Mormon church has never repudiated
he principle of polygamy. On the
ontrary as ,a doctrine plural mar-
riage is highly esteemed. What
abolished the practise was first a law
of the United (States,• and this was
• ollowed in due course( by the famed
manifesto which declared that the
aw should be obeyed. The church
was sincere in this manifesto, too, for
it might, had it chosen to do so.,
Made merely formal obeisance to the
law while encouraging or permitting
olyga'my. But it has proved its
incerity by .excommunicating all
members who-' have been found
practising what was once one of the
very fundamentals of 'belief. And it
has been kept bus proving that it
mleans what it says for decrees of
excom'm'unication are • to be found
very now and then, even in these
days, in , the church's official news-
paper. Modern Mormonism( knows
hat it '• is not a good thing for the
Gentiles to be 'estranged, .and cer-
ainly not to the extent that an
open toleration or encouragement if
polygamy would estrange therm.
The Fundamentalists
But the polygamists are, as it were,
h'e fundamentalists of Mormonism.
f they believe their religion they
must believe in the principle of
polygamy. It is quite another mat-
ter whether it is expedient to prac-
tise it. We have seen similar ques-
tions in other churches, as for in-
stance, the doctrine of infant dam-
nation. Well, the polygamists are
the infant damnationists. Not three
Gentiles in a thousand believe or
have ever believed that polygapr' i
was a spiritual concept rather than
a carnal indulgence. We were con-
verted to the correct view the first
time we saw some portraits of the
early Mormon women. There certain -
y were no former Follies girls among
them,. They looked more like in-
veterate Sunday school teachers Who
were rounding out their earthly
careers by doing farm. work usually
eft for oxen. According try the Mor-
mon philosophy there is nothing so
desirable as fecundity. It is not
chiefly that upon this earth it is a
good thing for a man to have many
stout sons and lusty grandsons, but
it has something to do l~ ith his es-
tate after death.
A Spiritual Concept.
'Like many other religie ;s, perhaps
Most of them, the—Mormon faith
teaches that this lire ,is merely a
prelude to life in the hereafter. On
this earth it is the mormon's dpty to
come in co>atact with sr vera' good
women who will bear hire children
so that in the afterworlrl they will
;become the mothers of his spiritual
children. If he doesn't as it were, book
up here, he has a prospect of being

it
a spiritual bachelor which, we should
think, would be one of the most dis-
mal fates that could befall a wrath.
This conception explains the Mor-
mon practice of having wives "seal-
ed" to them on earth. These women
never lived with their husbands as
wives, -but were set aside for future
functioning in Heaven. Occasional-
ly a worthy Mormon who had died
would be thus posthumously sealed
to a young girl.' In these practices
it will be seen that there was no
carnality. The devout Mormons per-
formed the ceremony with the same
reverence as other Christians • take
communion.
They Have Kept the Faith.
If the Mormons, as 'Gentiles were
too ready to believe, were actuated
by the same motives as a sultan who
establishes a seraglio one would ex-
pect that they would insist upon tak-
Jng young girls and that after their
charm's had faded they would take
still younger girls. This did not hap-
pen. In Utah to -day one may see
the aged man and the two or three
aged women living piously together,
loyally clinging to each other, and
putting up with natural difficulties
for the sake of the heavenly reward.
No rational person can suppose for
the sake of sex indulgence alone a
man would take two or three wives
and perhaps live with them in the
same house. Only a belief in Heav-
enly reimbursements could reconcile
a man to the worry, annoyance and
burden of such arrangements. Only
a fanatical believer would willingly
hurl himself into that maelstrom.
Many Mormons took second wives
only because of the pressure of the
church. They sought to avoid this
obligation as other Christians have
sought to avoid their special. church
obligations. The polygamous Mor-
mons we should say, are •the true
Mormons.
Palatial Embassy Awaits
is
Red Envoy, in Washington
If and when Soviet Russia is re-
cognized by the United States govern-
ment, its diplomatic representative in
Washington will not have to look for
official headquarters,
'H'e will inherit them,
That is to say. the Soviet folk will
inherit them from the old czarist
regime, or, more strictly, from the
Kerensky administration, which in-
tervened between imperial rule and
the acquisition of power by Nicolai
Lenin. "
The Muscovite embassy was the
finest in wartime Washington and,
overhauled and put in repair, would
again be the ..finest, with the pos-
sible exceptidn of England's new
one completed not more than a
year or two ago, Outwardly it
shows no serious signs of deteriora-
tion now, but how much its magnifi-
cent fittings and furniture have suf-
fered 'is problematic; it has been
sealed like a tomb since Boris Bak-
hmeteff, the last ambassador from

George Represented Czar
Two Bakhmeteffs, unrelated to one
another,' have • represented Russia in
Washington.
The first of the pair, George, ar-
rived here bearing the czar's cre-,
dentials in 1911. The embassy at
that time was in L Street, in a hand-
some building, indeed, but no such
chateau as the vast. pile that now
awaits Soviet acquisition, with rec-
ognition of Moscow at 1119-2'5 Six-,
teenth (the Avenue of the Presi-
dents).
'It was this same Bakhmeteff,
however,. who purchased the Six-
teenth Street structure, in his im-
perial +mtaster's name, just before the
outbreak of the world conflict, who
moved into. it and who still was oc-
cupying it when the revolution swept
his hone country in the third year
of the war.
Upon the czar's abdication George
Bakmeteff resigned), and rrtpon the
Kerensky ggovernm,ent's establish-
ment Boris Bakhm'eteff succeeded
him.
On his staff. is financial attache,
the second Bakhmeteff brought a de-
lightful old Russian of the name of
Serge Ughet. who probably knows
more of the embassy's history th.an
any other individual, for ht has re-
mained a white elephant on his
hands throughout the entire decade
and a half since Lenin followed'
Kerensky, and Boris Bakhmeteff
found himself the plenipotlentiary
of a defunct power, as had George
Bakhrneteff before him.
Couldn't Surrender Building
'Boris' tenure was Short. On re-
tiring he surrendered all official:
property in his possession to Ughet.
communist authority continuing
unrecognized by Washington, there
was no one for• him to turn it over
to. It was impossible for him to live
in the enormous house. He had noth-
ing like the means to maintain it.
Accordingly, he installed a caretaker
and took tip his own residence in
New York, where he still lives.
In due course a commercial rep-
resentative of the Soviets arrived in
Boris Skvirsky, who for several years
has conducted apd.yet conducted what
is known as the Soviet Union infor-
m,ation Bureau, at present at 1637
Massachusetts Avenue.
But Slevirskl could lay no legal
claim to the big ,embassy building.
It is Ughet's prableini to this day.
George Bakhmeteff finally went
to Europe and died there some time
ago. a
!Boris Rakhrmreteff is practicing law
in New York City.
Skvirsky keeps an .eye on the emr'-
ha_ssy and expects to take it over for
the ,Soviets, in, the event of their
recognition, but cannot do so until
then.
How Ughet has managed to keep
it in the hands even of a caretaker
is something of a puzzle. He is e
man of small means and, from all
accounts; has found it difficult to
niiaihtain himself.

Estate Awaits Heir
The status of the property is pe-
culiar. In normal times, if a clear
title to it could be given, it unques-
tionably would be worth above $1,-
900,000 but technically classes as if
swned by the imperial Russian. gov-
srnment (a non-existent government
of course), and therefore is not tax-
able, The state department's view
is that it (virtually is an estate left
by a descendent, with Ughet as 'his
executor, awaiting an heir to prove
his right to it — the proof being
recognition of 'Moscow by the United
States.
Skvirsky never has seen the in-
•
side of the building. Few folks have.
The caretaker lives the life of a
prisoner in a small lodge on the
premises, Knocks at the lodge door
either are unanswered or, if they do
bring a response, only a peephole
in the door is opened, speakeasy
fashion, an eye looks out, the peep-
hole closes and chains are heard rat-
tling, as the caretaker intrenches
himself more securely than ever.
Why such precautions are taken-
Skvirsky; himself cannot guess. The
Soviets have no thought of trying to
take forcible possession, he says.
