lntsmpsranes and Dishonesty Foes Of Success

lntempCFanCc and Dishonesty Foes Of Success.
That intemperance is ono of the
greatest known causes of failure of
young men is unquestionable, 1t is the
bane of the human race. Anything
that will destroy, even temporarily, the
power to use the intuitive faculties and
the judgment, is an appalling evil and
unfortunately, it is an evil that is large
ly prevalent.
Dishonesty, too, is great factor IN
failure. Somebody has said: IF you
have the name of being an early riser,
you may sleep as long aa you like" To
my mind that homelv saying strikes
the keynote to reputation and charact-
er. Reputation is acquired early in
life, and reputation for dishonesty
will follow a man to the grave, and
beyond.
But while there can be no excuse for
dishonesty, it not iufrequently develops
and is even acquired by a young man
owing TO the want of circumspection
and the carelessness on the part of en-
ployers, or those in authority over him.
Youth is prone to be led into tempta-
tim. Confidence born of efficiency and
brightness is apt to be too often reposed
by employers, in young men who may
have the handling of money. Defalca-
tions and disgrace follow. Such young
men might still be good citizens and a.
bove reproach if they knew that it
would be impossible to make first
wrong step without discovery, and that
their books and cash were under prop
er supervisor.
To sum up a young man who would
achieve success should havel an objecr
in view, an honest ambition to succeed
and proved himself the right man The
late DR.. Norvin Green. president of III,
Western Union Telegraph Company, of
ten repeater the saying of another wist
man, who said "If you find it crowdea
down below, come up here; there is al
ways room on tor" But it is well to
remember that it is easier to fall off
when you are ION top" than when you
are climbing up. and the results arr
likely to prove more serious. DR.
Green's success, General Thomas T. Ec-
kert, than whom no greater telegraph
man ever lived, said: There is always

THE MORMON QUESTION.

1t is now quite evident that
there is a determination to resus-
citate the Mormon question in
Utah. Recently three or four
high church authorities were ar
rested for illegal cohabitatiou,
pleaded guilty and were fined.
Still later information was filed
against five prominent Mormons
in Richfeld, Utah, little town
south of Salt Lake City. 1t is
reported that so called "spotters"
have been gathering evidence in
Cache valley and that in a short
time a number of cases will be
uncovered in that section. The
principal operator in the detection
and prosecution of illegal cohabi-
tors is a man named Owens, sup
posed to.be' in the service of a
big New York paper-one Of the
yellow journals. Enough has all
ready been disclosed to prove
conclasivelyithat many R1ormons
still liFein polygamy, and intend-
to peEsevere in the enjoyment of
that sacrament law or no law.
We believe that the election OF
Brigham, H !. Roberts, himself an
open and avowed polygamist, to
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-10-07

the Congress of the United States
is the irritating cause behind the
present movement. One purpose
is to establish before the whole
country that Mormonism has not
changed; that the manifesto
against polygamy is not taken Sc
riously and that the election of
Roberts was an intentional def
ance of the law and moral senti-
ment of the country. We also
believe that the movement will
eliminate in the arrest and con-
viction OF Mr.. Roberts, and that
such a wave of indignation will
sweep over the land as will COM
pei Congress to unseat Utah's
representative. But whatever the
motive, the fact remains that the
Mormons have brought this
trouble upon themselves. The
conduct of some of their leading
men has been such as to cast Sc
rious reflections on the sincerity
of the whole church membership.
And it must be admitted, that to
say the least, the Mormons are
unfortunate IN the character of
many Of their foremost church Of
ticials. 1t is possible that the
movement started in Utah will
spread over Idaho, and the old
contention will be renewed. We
sincerely hope this will not hap
pen, but the danger cannot be ig-
nored. There are Mormons in
this State living in polygamy and
they are loath to abandon it. II
is hard to break the old ties, but
it seems to us they will have to be
broken or there will be trouble.
Polygamy will be made an offense
against the Federal law, and then
the United States marshals and
hordes of their deputies will be
sent forth to hunt the offenders.
It would be a happy thing if the
Latter Day Saints could see the
trend Of affairs and by strictly
the law avoid all risks of
its punishments.

ti-expansionists are gone and for
gotten.

DEWEY has returned, and his
reception was as magnificent as
it was merited worthy of the
man and worthy of the American
people. We suspect, however,
that there is one man in The coun-
try who is a little i'll at ease over
the great hero's home coming.
Scarcely had the admiral sighted
native land before prominent
Democrats were urging him to
become a candidate for president
on the Democratic ticket. Dewey
informed them, in effect, that
while he didn't mind being a hero
he had scruples about undertak-
ing the role of martyr. He
may however change his mind,
and that is what disturbs the
slumbers of William Jennings
Bryan just now. He realizes
that if Dewey consents to become
a candidate it is all up with the
boy orator. This is hard, cold
world, after all.

CHAPLAIN STEPHENSON.

The TRIBUNE has no acquain-
lance with Chaplain Stephenson
of the Idaho volunteers but does
not hesitate 10 pronounce him a
level headed patriot whose talk
has the true American ring. He
was recently interviewed by a
representative of the Salt Lake
Tribune and among other good
and sensible things said he was
hot in favor of keeping the
archipelago because it will prove of
lEesttmable commercial value, but
because he thinks our flag, once
planted, must never come down,
and because we owe 1t to the peo
pie OF The islands to establish a
stable form of colonial government
there. With peace secured he saws
the money we paid Spain will come
back to us within one year.
Those are the sentiments of
every man, woman and child, in
all this broad land, imbued with
the genuine spirit of America.
Wherever the glorious standard
of this grand and free Republic
has once been raised there it
should remain. Wherever it has
been raised 1t has brought liber-
ty, enlightenment and justice and
so it will continue to do until the
heavens shall roll up like a scroll
and time shall be no more. Chap
lain Stephenson has a correct and
understanding of the
obligations under which this ma
ton is placed. We owe it to the
people of the Philippine islands
to establish a stable form of CO.
lonlal government there, he says,
and, moreover, we owe it to our
selves and the civilized world.
BY an accident of war or by dis
pensation of Divine Providence,
those people were thrown upon
our mercy, and we would be I'M
worthy the name of a great and
benefcent nation if we shirked
the attendant responsibilities. But
there is no danger of that. The
American people never shirk.
They have built up a mighty Re-
public which will continue to
grow and spread until its ennob-
ing and benevolent influences are
.eit all over the world. The
American flag will float over the
Philippines long after all the an

sincerity on the silver question.
Nobody would think of charging
against him cooling off, but it is
a little strange that he should be

against the enemy preaching in

oooD To aE 4 REPUBLLoAN.

Do the men and women Of
Idaho ever stop to think how
splendidIy the Republican party
has indicated itself in the last
three years7 Do they remember
how in 1902 it was abused, mis-
represented and traduced, and in
consequence Of the most shame
less and villainous calumny went
down to defeat? Do they re-
member the reign of idleness,
want and calamity which the vic
tors inaugurated? Do they re-
member the armies of tramps,
the bread riots and the soup
kitchens which sprang from the
loins of Democracy and flourished
under its gracious shadow If
They do not wildly recall these
things, they should read back a
few years and refresh their mem
cries. How different have things
been since Republicans took
charge of the ship of state! Idle
ness has disappeared, want has
been chased from the land, the
armies of the unemployed no
longer tramp over the country,
the free soup Kitchens have been
closed out because their custo-
iners had all vanished and gone
to eating roast beef and plum
pudding on their own account.
The Democrats promised the far
ne1s dollar wheat and then drove
every dollar out Of the country or
into hiding; they promised work
ingmen better wages and then
closed up all the workshops; they
promised poor people cheaper
food and clothes and then robbed
them of an opportunity to earn
anything with which to buy them.
That is Democracy. The Re
publicans promised prosperity and
it floods the land as never did be-
fore. They promised employ
ment for all and all who want it
have it at good wages. They
promised to open the mills and
the factories and start the great
engines and wheels and spindles
in motion. They are all running
at the top of their speed. The
Republicans promised to increase
our foreign market and now
vastly more of the products of
our farms and factories are sold
abroad than ever before. In short
the Democrats broke every prom
Use they ever made, while Re-
publicans kept all of theirs to the
letter. Just think it all over and
you will come to the conclusion
that it's mighty good thing to
be straight out Renublican.
