Of territory which is occupied and owned
almost exclusively by the Saints and with
out whom would be of no value whatever,
as it is doubtful that others than Nor
mons could be found to take the country
and live in it. The Mormons have made
Bear Lake county what it is, and if the
Mormcns were to pull up stakes and leave,
that county would at once revert to the
cold, bleak and barren wilderness that it
was thirty or more years ago when it was
thought to be uninhabltable by man. The
detachment would at once and forever
solve the Mormon problem for Idaho, and
put those nervous politicians at ease who
are constantly screaming that the Saints
are menace to the commonwealth.
Again just across the border in Wyom-
ing the Mormons are made welcome and
treated as if they were human beings. The
people OF Wyoming are eager for popula-
ton, and they like Industrious, thrifty,
progressive, aw-abiding folks to locate in
the state and engage in the work of develop
ing and utilizing the resources of the state.
If the statesmen end economists of Wyom-
ing could induce 10000 or 10000 Mormons
to settle in the valleys of the new state, to
build mills, to open roads, to till the soil. to
develop the resources of the country and to
add to the wealth and increase the strength
of the commonwealth, those statesmen
and economists would rejoice and
rightly conclude that they had adone
their community good service. Nor
mons have resided in Wyoming al
most as mapv vnars nc thau hova
lived in Idaho, and during all the time they
have gotten along splendidly with their
neighbors. There has never been anything
like friction among the classes socially or
religiously, and In politics the Mormons
and Gentiles have done as Methodists and
Presbyterians and unbelievers have done
elsewhere; that is to say, the religion of
the Individual has had nothing to do with
his party politics.
Wyoming respects the Mormons and
wants them; Idaho hates the Mormons and
would be glad to get rid of them; and now,
why not please both these states by annex
ing the eastern part of Idaho, which is oc-
cupied almost exclusively by Mormons, to
Wyoming! 1t seems to US that nobody
can, in reason, oppose this arrangement
and if the Idahoans are honest in their pro
fessions of hatred, they will be- as keen to
get rid of the Mormons as Wyoming is tc
receive them.
But let US wait until we learn whether OF
not the story which. our correspondent
picked ND in Boise is the invention of some
imaginative genius, or has some foundation

AMUSING.

Its amusing to note, these days, how the
Liberal organs are kicking the government
they labored so vigorously to elect and for
whose honesty, integrity and ability they
vouched. Just after the convention in
January, 1890, our morning contemporary
In loaded type, fairly raved in it's praises of
the men who had been nominated 1t asked
the people to Judge for themselves whether
the city would be safe in the hands of such
fathers as the Liberals propose to give it %

clared: There is not name that does NOT

interests of the city, not name that can he

after the same pen which wrote
the above wrote that there were
dishonest men" in the council
and that four of the men who were so good
and SO true that they could not even he
criticised, were boodlers. Now the
organ is again finding fault, is actually
criticising the men who could not be criti
cised. All this amounts to nothing beyond
proving that our contemporary is utterly

I, RESULTS OF FREE TRADE. "

In the Tribans's latest tariff babbling
there is one sentence that is definite
enough to invite an answer:
The only trouble about it is that every nation
that has ever tried it free tradel has become
bankrupt in an incredibly short space of time.
There have been three countries that
have tried free trade: Great Britain and
New South Wales in Australia, and for a
short time this country.
The wealth per capita Of Great Britain
after 500 years of ''protection" was $3.50,
then that country began preparing for
''free trade" which was adopted as pol
icy in 1860. BY 1877 her wealth had risen
to 81, 1850 per capita, an increase of $500
since 1910. That is, eighteen years of free
trade produced more wealth than 500 years
of protection, which began with the Nor
man conquest.
New South Wales has in fifty years &C
CURED a per capita wealth of 1905. con-
siderably more than that of the United
States.
The United States once tried revenue
tariff, that is ''free trade" from 1850 to
1850, and the per capita wealth increased
s2235 as against an increase of s35 during
ten years of protection" from 1870 to 1880
The per capita wealth of Great Britain is
to- day about 81, 800, several hundred dollars
greater than that of this country, the re-
| sources and opportunities of which are so
| incomparably greater than those of Great
Britain that we ought to have left the lat
ter far behind by this time. Thirty years
of British free trade against thirty years of
American protection has enabled that little
country to keep ahead ofus with all our ad-
vantages. ..-'

THAT ANNEXATION SCHEME.

THE HERALD knows nothing of the al
legged movement on the part of the majority
of the people in eastern Idaho to have their
portion Of the state attached to Wyoming,
The first intimation received of such a
scheme. came in a special telegram from
Boise, published in this paper on Monday.
Knowing how such rumors are started and
how little truth there is in them, gen
orally, we suggest that it may be well not
to swallow this one without reservation.
At the same time, we may with propriety
ask why it would not be good thing all
around to do what is proposals Those in
control of Idaho do not like the Mormons :;
indeed, it may be said they hate Mormons
with an intensity which is remarkable.
in this age of Christianity and peace
on earth and good will to men. This
hatred has gone so far that il has NANTES
ted itself in the absolute disfranchisement
of Mormons and the enactment of laws
which make it utterly impossible for one
who has ever been a member of the Nor
men church to be restored to the rights
and privileges of citizenship in the new
state. No Mormon and no one who has
been Mormon, no matter how pure and
upright his life, can vote, hold Office serve
Cd iuries or do any of those things which
citizens may do, except the payment of
taxes for the support of the government
Not only is the Mormon made an outcasi
politically, but he is ostracised socially, tc
certain extent, and is made to feel that
his presence in the state is offensive to the
majority. Ill that can be done has been
done to cause him to think that il
the other residents would be bette,
pleased. Under the circumstances the nat
ional inference is that the people Of
Idaho would be glad to get rid of the Nor
mons even at the cost of that narrow strir

and intensified-in the former. This is the
risk involved in this proposed division.
Are the chances and they are but chances
of fastening Utah's admission into the
union worth such risk? Then let us con-
slider the prospect of our citizens with the
present prejudice existing against them
being received into either of the great DO
litical parties, So far. every effort to concede
TO the demands made upon US to come into
accord with the sentiment of country has
only been with distrust even by those who
made the demand. When our good citizens
met in solemn convention and adopted a
state constitution banishing the institution
of polygamy and making the clause opera
tive without further legislation, the party
in power refused to believe in the sincerity
OF the movement, and that which was
hoped would be the rock OF our salvation,
was, instead, the rocl. on which we were
broken; and we were spurned aside as was
the fly in the ointment When the Mormon
church in the most sblemn manner, in gen
eral conference assembled, abandon ed
polygamy, the concession, instead of being
accepted as a settlement of the vexed con-
troVersy. was met again By distrust, and
the President of the United States eau
toned Congress against accepting the
action of the church as in good
faith. Have we any assurance that
this proposition to divide on national
party lines will not be met in the same
way. Is it wise, having been Tilted once
to court the same treatment again? Shall
we stand again as candidates for disgrace!
Once more we say our true policy is tc
stand up independent of all party afilia-
lions and demand that the local questions
affecting our Utah shall be relegated to the
people of the territory for settlement by
them; that our un-American vassaage be
enoed by putting period to our territorial
! government, and then when national issues
affect US and we can affect them, then, and
not till then, should there be any division
among the friends of liberty in Utah.

abandoned and reckless in its statements.
1t meant nothing year ago when it was
SOLDERING over a gang of fellows. some Of
whom it had never heard of until they were
nominated it meant nothing when it
charged the council with dishonesty and
boodleism; it meant nothing afterwards
when it defended the council in its reckless
schemes for plundering the people and
squandering the money, and it means
nothing now in it's hints and insinuations,
and to- morrow it is liable to assert that
every member of the council is great
statesman, that everyone Is madly devoted
to the welfare of the city and that everyone
is So pure and upright that wings are
sprouting from his shoulders and he is in
fair way to sail off among the clouds with
the angels. But it is all amusing, just the
same.

SIMPSONS MULE.
The Latest Campaign Story OF tho Kan
Statesman.

Ahe AuteSt Campaign story OF tho Kan
Statesman.
One of the best stories of the year is
told by Jerry Simpson, popularity known
as the ''Soclsless Socrates of Medicine
Lodge" He had been talking about the
attempt of the old parties to capture the
alliance vote, when he compared the as
tute politician to the Kansas mule, saws
the Atlanta Constitution
'Out in Kansas" said he, "therc is n
boy who had taught his mule to squat
when he touched him on the flank with
his heels, and one day when he was
riding beside an Englishman the mule
sat down on his launches. What's the
matter with your mulc?' said the Eng
lishman. Why said the boy, he's u
setter; don't you see that rabbit out
there?' The Englishman was much as
tonished. They rode on awhile and
the mule squatted again. What's he
doing now?' said the Englishman. He's
settin' agin,' said the boy. Don't you
see that flock of quail?' By this time
the Englishman was dying to own the
mule. An animal he could ride that
was also setter would be priceless to
such a nimrod as he. He offered to buy
the mule, but the boy didn't want to
sell him. Finally he concluded to swap
he mule for the Englishman's fine bay
horse and one hundred dollars to boot
The Englishman mounted the mule, the
boy mounted the horse and they rode
on. After awhile they came to Il creek
and the Englishman drew up his feet to
keep them from getting wet About
half way through, the water got so deep
he had to draw his feet up to the mules
flank. AS soon as the boot heels touched
the mules flank he squatted right IN
the middle of the creek. What's the
matter with your blarsted mule nowp'
said the Englishman. 4 told you he
was setter and he's just as good for
suckers as for anything else"

THE GAME OF TEMA.
Latest Rival OF Tennis In the Summer
Girls Affections.

Latest Rival OF Tennis In the Summer
Girls Affections.
There is new game which is called
tcma, and which is an adaptation of Jap
ancse polo. This is the way it is played,
according to young woman who claims
to be proficient:
A screen eight feet high has circular
hole in the middle eighteen inches in
diameter, called the goal, and having a
net behind it. Twenty feet away is a
roped in area in which the players
stand. They are ranged in sides, the
white and the red. At the end of the
area farthest from the screen are stores
of red and white balls less than two
inches in diameter, and it is the bust
ness of each side to throw it's balls into
the goal. The throwing is done by
means of an implement called the
wanda slender bamboo three feet in
length, with n tiny net Mt the end. The
balls are picked up in this net and
slung toward the goal. This would
probably be very tame, but there is an
other provision, which is that players
of one side may interfere with the 9TH
ers and do all they can to prevent the
balls from being thrown. This ut once
introduces an element of skill. rs the
ball, once in the net of the wand, can
be manipulated and Unanswered, and n
great variety of throws are open to th.
players. The picking up of the ball is
a pretty and deXterous action, while il
is almost impossible to be ungraceful in
throwing it. The extreme lightness OF
the wand 1.-THE maximum weight is four
onnccs) renders the sport much less vic.
lent than tennis, which some people

One of the Washington theaters en-
joys the distinction of having u pro-

ploycs. He is n negro of athletic build,
says the New York World, with an en-
tremcly dark skin and enormous
mouth, and n fine set of shining worries.
But his most notable characteristic is
his laugh. 1t is by turns soft, resonant,
harsh, stridcnt and mellow. He is in
his place in the top gallery throughout
summer season Of light opera, and he
never misses farcc-comedy or q
minstrel show. He always knows when
and how TO laugh. He sits with his
chin on the rail and enjoys himself in
highly infectious fashion, the audience
frequently laughing more heartily at
him than at the performance. a clever
touch of comedy will provoke an mp

him. After each performance he stops

Tho "Oudja."

The latest craze to strike Philadci-
phia is the wearing of the .Oudja,"
pretty little Egyptian charm, supposed
to ward off all forms of evil, says the
Philadelphia Record. The charm is
thin, and is about an inch long and half
m inch wide. A conspicuous figure is
the eye of "Horus," which represents
the sun, and tear drop hanging pen
dant from the eye represents the river
Nile: The little charm, which has been
worn in England for couple of years,
has been Indispensable to the super
stitious Egyptians for many centuries.
a pretty story explains the English
craze. A young officer in the English
army sent one home to his bride with
an explanation of it's origin. After a
battle in the Soudan the young officer
was reported dead, but the wife refused
to believe it. Later on, the official dis
patches confirmed the death. but still
the bride had faith in the little charm.
Several months later the missing hus-
band turned up alive and we'll and the
"Oudja" became fad of great proper
tiOaS.
