ON THE RAPID DECLINE.

The Idaho Statesman has become the
laughingstock Of many papers IN that
State because OF It's evident senility,
exhibited largely IN It's lmpoient attacks
on the Mormon Church. lts latest
eruption Is entitled Church In Pol
itcs," and It's excuse To- II Is "the pres
once I'm the city (Boise) OF man whose
personal experiences furnish a strlk-
ing illustration OF Church activity in
controlling the political action OF It's
members
one would suppose from that asser-
tion that the Statesman had really
struck something, or somebody, that
furnished proof or convincing evidence
that the Mormon" Church controls
the political action Of the Latter.day
Saints, But after giving a garbled and
incorrect account Of dispute that
occurred some years ago." between
a Church member who is Democrat
and the President OF the Bear Lake
stake who is Republican, over an al.
legged remark Of the latter In meeting
attended by a number Of members OF
both political parties, It falls down ut
terly in It's effort to bring the Church"
into tho conflict,
The Statesman calls the gentleman
Bishop all the way through the
labored article, showing the writer's un-
familiarity with his subject, and the
outcome Of It all IL simple question
OF veracity, or rather Of a proper I'M
Outstanding Of remark which was
ventilated, as the Statesman admits,
some years ago" and which was left
as an open question OF little conse-
quence, No real connection Of the
Mormon" Church or It's authorities with
the matter was ever established, and
the Statesman does not attempt to
show any, but simply argues
that III the Church were out OF poll
tics" and wished It's members and the
general public to understand that its
pledges were in good faith" It would
long ago have reduced TO the ranks"
the Bishop" for abusing his authority,
etc.
Now, is not that proof with VEN
geanccl If the Church had lnterfered
IN this dispute between Republican
and a Democrat in favor OF either
would not that have been construed as
the Church In Politics with some
show of reason2 The Church was not
IN It, Nothing was done by the Church
In the matter The dispute was be-
tween the two gentlemen alone, one
declared the other said something
which the latter disputed, and there
you are"
The Statesman would like TO run the
Mormon" Church as well as the poll
ties OF Idaho, but II has not the power
TO do either. II makes many assertions
about what the Church does, without
Offering one particle OF proof for its
ayowas and shows the inherent weak
ness of its cause, by vainly repeating
It's baseless charges and assuming their
truth instead Of bringing evidence in
their support. II Is evident that the
ridlcule OF that paper by many OF ts
contemporaries in Idaho is not mere
journalistic badlnage, but well ground
ed appreciation Of Its decadence

TUE MISSOURI.
Kansas CITY Star.

The lamentable accident on the battle
ship Missouri will undoubtedly furnish
fresh campaign material TO the OPP
ponents OF President Roosevelt. The
argument. II may be confidently pre-
dcted, will take about this form; The
captain Of the shin on which the acct.
den occurred Is the presidents brother
in-law; doubtless he owes his position
to that fact and not to his competency;
therefore presidential favortlsm Is re-
sponsible for the appalling loss Of life
Then somebody will look up the facts in
the case and viii discover that Captain
Cowles had fine record Of over 80
years before his marriage in 1895; that
the present assignment came to him In
the regular order after forty years OF
faithful service; that the President had
nothing to do with the case; and finally
that the captain was probably no more
responsible for the accident in the tur-
ret than he was for the latest eclipse Of
the moon.
