THE EMPTY PEW.

The Evangelical Messenger (Cleve-
land) in recent leading editorial I'M
der the heading, why Do Not the Peo-
pie Go to church," declares:
There is a general lament over empty
pews We seem to be experiencing a
decline in church attendance, especially
in the cities We build large and beau
tiful churches, equip them with every
convenience and comfort; we have fine
music, and there are many able preach
ers in our pulpits. men who keep
abreast of the times, who read and
think who have something to say and
know how to say it, Yet the pews are
sparsely filled. The people are else
where, on the street, in the parks, or at
home reading the newspapers and
novels. What is the matter?
The same paper not long ago invited
its readers to contribute to symposium
on the questions involved, and prints
a number of their answers. one writer
gives it as his conviction that the rea-
son for the lack of spiritual life and
power in many of our societies and
among our people is the want of real
self-sacrifice and self-denial." Our
fathers, he says. drove from thirty to
sixty miles to attend the quarterly
meetings and many times walked
twelve to fifteen miles to prayer-meet-
ing; but we count ii hardship to
walk a few blocks to attend the forer
noon service" Another writer at
tributes religious decline to the spirit
or worldlIless that pervades the pres
ent age in its rush after gain and
pleasure" Still another thinks that 1.-THE
low state of spirituality often seen in
the church" is due to the fact that
Science, philosophy, astronomy, etc.
are dwelt upon in the pulpit, in lace OF
the word"
Cergymen and religious papers often
discuss these questions, but they rare
ly ask the stay-at- home public why II
stays at home. If they would do that
and in a way to get candid answers
the result might be to let food oi
light into their understandings.

HAWAII NEEDS REPUBuCANlsa.

with the closing Of the last week OF
the campaign OF Prince Kuhio for the
DeIegateship. there IL left In the minds
of the people only one impression, that
when Hawaii sends a man to the great
conclave of the chiefs of her people,
held at Washington for the enactment
Of laws for the control Of the many
distinct sections OF the country, to rep
resent the wishes OF the people the Ter
ritory. she owes 1t to herself that the
man chosen should be one in whom the
people have confidence.
The fight which has occupied the pas
two months has been passed upon the
one idea, what shall be done for the
good of the people. on the side OF the
opposition to this is the sectional, the
personal hatred and the race prejudice
contest waGed by Wilcox and his fol-
lowers. none of whom have been so
rabid in speech or so illogical in con-
illusions. as the haole confidant of Will
cox, Edgar Caypless. There remains
for the people then only to weigh the
advocates and their arguments, and oil
the results on Tuesday next there re-
mains no doubt when the character OF
the voters is taken into consideration.
Prince Kuhio has never waVered from
his one principle. He is in the fight FOR
that which shall be for the greatest
good of the people of the islands He
does not wage war against the haole.
Nor does he wage a Campaign per Sc
against Wilcox or his friends. He has
stood, he is now, the representative OF
progress as against standing still. He
wants to see this Territory one of the
foremost in the nation; and he is OPP
posed by the forces which stand for re-
dictionary tendencies.
There has been in this fight no ques-
ton which has stopped Home Rule ar
gument more effectively, than the sim
pie one: What has Wilcox done for his
country. or what has he essayed that
viii be of benefit TO the people at
large"
To this he has always answered with
platitudes and vain boastings. 1t is VIII
cox who has always for his people
and when they ask facts he gives them
words. If they should demand bread
he would give them stones. Through
all the campaign runs the vein of this

followers.

To the foreigners it is only necessary

To the Hawaiians the question is, "Wh,

Appeal from Judge Nch's Decision.

Under direction Of Attorney General
Martin, County Attorney s, c. Winters
of Pocatello, will take an appeal to the
Supreme court from the decision Of
Judge Rich, holding 50 much of the
peddler license as applies to solicitors
from other states, unconstitutional.
The question is one Of great interest to
the state. The following is the full text
of Judge Rich's decision:
DECISION.
This is prosecution for a violation of
the act of the legisla ture of 1901, provid-
ing for the licensing of peddlers,
hawkers solicitors, and prescribing
penalties for violation of the act.
The cause was ORIGINALLY commenced
in the probate court of Bannock county
and submitted to that court upon an
agreed statement of facts. The probate
court upon the issue submitted found
the defendant guilty as charged and inn,
posed fine of $25 upon him, fro1&
which Judgment the defendant appeal
ed to this court, and here the cause was
submitted npon the same agreed statA
ment of facts.
Section four of the act above mention4
ed requires each peddler or solicitor
taking orders for groceries, clothing,
hardware or other mercantile establish
ment. to pay license of not less than
S75 nor more than $l25'per year.
It will be observed that the section
makes no distinction between peddlers
or solicitors of this state and those who
are residents of other states, temporarily
taking orders for merchandise owned
by residents of other states and at the
time located in other states; but the
section undertakes to reach all peddlers
or solicitors taking orders for merchan-
disc, whether transient or resident and
whether the goods offered for sale are
at the time within the state or some
other state.

the complaint was and now is a resident

said time he was employed and acting

partnership existing in the state of
Utah, where the several partners own
large quantities of tea, coffee, boxing
powder and other merchandise. which
is situated and located at Salt Lake
CITY. in the state of Utah, their princi-
pal place of business; that defendant.
as an employee, in the conduct of said
business, came to the state of Idaho and
within the city of Pocatello solicited
orders for such goods, wares and mer-
chandise, to be delivered from the state
of Utah at later date; such orders
were solicited and takeh from hotels,
private families and any other person
who desired to purchase.
Upon these facts A complaint was
made. warrant issued the defendant
arrested, tried and convicted, from
which an appeal was taken and the
same facts are presented for considera-
tion by this court.
The Court is clearly of the opinion
that under the facts in the case. the
act of the Legislature in question so far
as it is attempted to be made to apply
to this defendant. and TO anv other
person under like circumstances and
conditions, is void, as against the inter
state commerce clause of the Federal
constitution.
Without attempting TO indulge in a
critical analysis of the question. or of
the decided cases upon the question, it
is deemed sufficient to cite.some of the

Opening the Reservation.

The following. taken from the Wash
lngton correspondence i'm the Salt Lake
Tribune, will be welcome news to the
! many Pocatello citizens who have
waited so long for the opening Of the
ceded portion Of the Fort Hall reserva-
tion.
In connection with the probable date
for the opening, it is worthy of note
that the Advance published telegram
from Senator Dubois some weeks ago
giving the time mentioned below az the
probable time of opening. The Tribune
article is as follows:
Within few days the president
will issue proclamation opening Fort
Hall, Ida, Indian reservation to settle
ment The date of the opening has not
yet been definitely fixed, but it is almost
certain to be May 18th at II o'clock
noon.
The situation is unique. In the be-
ginning the department. wanted to
adopt the plans so successfully pursued
in Oklahoma, which were based upon
the lottery system, but this i impractic-
able so far as the Fort Hall reservation
is concerned because the treaty stipu-
lates that within five miles of Pocatello
the land shall be sold at public auction;
that land under or tributary to the Ida
no canal shall be sold for less than SIG
per acre agricultural lands not less
than w. 80 per acre and grazing land at
$l.25 The treaty further stipulates
that mineral lands within five miles of
Pocatello shall be sold for not less than
$40 per acre.
The question was what sort Of a
proclamation should be issued. Senator
Dubois had in mind citizens who be-
lieve they know the locality of good
mineral land and wished to protect them
against outsiders who may seek pre-
ference rights.
In discussing with Commissioner
Hermann the rights of settlers who had
been living on the reservation for a
number of years it was agreed that public
sentiment ought to be such that these
old settlers should be allowed to take
their lands under Government appraise-
ment, and that no outsider should be
permitted to bid against them 1t is
hoped that sentiment will be created
Nso strong that no one will dare bid
Against the old settlers on these lands
1T will be recalled that when the
tSwnsite of Pocatello was made and
| lands there were sold at public auction,
dbmmunity interest created was 40
strong that no one bid against the men
who had occupied the property and put
| improvements thereon.
| The commissioner of the General
Land Office is anxious to hurry the
opening, and it was his opinion that the
President would issue the proclamation
not later than May 18th; that he would
quote the law i'm detail as outlined
above, and that the opening will be
ordained strictly in accordance with the
act.
