Evangelist Edw. Moorehouse,
in camp meeting address at
Rigby, Idaho. made the following
bold statement, which has caus-
ed a sensation among the dance.
goers in that town. He said
THE three popular amuse-
ments of the day are card play
ing, dancing and theater- going.
Any church that sanctions them
is spiritually dead. Dancing is
hugging set to music. If a man
should come into my house and
hug my wife, as | have seen 9TH
er men hug other mems wives at
dance, once at a hotel where |
boarded, | would horsewhip him.
Nine-tenths of the fallen women
of this country trace their down
fall to the modern dance"
That mix-up among the repub-
lican politicians in Idaho over
the spoils is not calculated to
disturb the hilarity of the demo
cratic onlookers. 1t doesn't seem
to make any difference whether
or not the present incumbents of
federal officers in Idaho are com
petent. The test seems to be
their loyalty to Senator Hepburn
and the machine that has taken
control of affairs. A man may
be ever so good an assayer, a
surveyor general or what not, but
if his fealty to the powers that
be is open to the shadow of a
suspicion he is to be kicked out
and replaced by a faithful hench-
man. 1t is barely possible that
some of the good people of Idaho
are beginning to realize that they
made a mistake when they voted
Senator Hepburn and his col
leagues into Office. 1t is not al
ways wise to elect man United
States senator because he hap
pens to practice law occasionally
in the state from which he is

| The Mountain Home Herald
publishes the following item
among others from its Glenn's
Ferry correspondent
One of the railroad lads vouch-
es for the truth of the following
A young lady from across the

through the railroad yard here.
on her way to the depot, was
startled by trainman who was
switching on a freight. AS she
approached, one trainman yelled
to another Jump on to her,
Jim. when she comes along; run
her down to the lower switch
and cut her in two, and then run
the head end back. The young
lady was Mortified. She could
place only one meaning on what
she had heard. She yelled
murder Y at the top of her
voice and started out at 2:40
gait for the depot.
| Senator Dubois left this morn
ing for Ogden to attend the nat
iolal irrigation congress. Before
leaving, says a Lewiston, Idaho,
dispatch, he gave the following
statement to the press
The position of the press and
republican leaders in south Ida
ho in regard to the appointment
of Bishop Wooley as assayer at
Boise makes plain the situation
in Idaho in regard to Mormon
ism. 1t precipitates fight
which had to come. There is
and can be no politics in it. The
Mormon church will quickly con-
troll Idaho or Idaho the Mormon
church in Idaho politics. 1t must
be evident that the time has now
come when the determination
must be made whether we are to
have politics in Idaho among
} ourselves or whether we are to
accept our politics from the Nor
mon church leaders in Utah. The
Boise Statesman has precipitated

accept it. | myself am satisfied
that the Mormon influence from
Utah in Idaho politics is binding
on Idaho Mormons. The Idaho
Mormons are not free agents.
