RELIGION IN POLITICS.

England, Germany and France have
state religions. The Mikado of Japan
is said to be arranging state religion
along Christian lines The car of
Russia is the head of his own country's
church. China has an intricate and
ancient religion. The United States
has no national church and religion
influence in politics. except negatively
Perhaps the only charge of intent to
merge religion with politics in the
United States is that which is direct
ed against the Mormons of Utah since
the senate investigation. The Nor
mons have undoubtedly, as far as they
have been able made prascriptive
church test a strict condition of pOlit
zeal preferment.
The general wish in this country is
that religious organizations shall never

dcatiOn that any organization has in
tentions of political aggression. 1t is
we'll to bear in mind, however, that re-
ligion could be forced into politics by
those who are most eager to keep it
out Even the Mormons might be
forced to worse misuse of their hierar-
chicaI machinery if they are made to
believe that they are prosecuted.
With regard to the Mormons the ma
tional question is less of religious tn
tiuence in politics than of the practice
of polygamy. 1t is to the interest of
the majority. not less than of the mi
nority, to make a clear distinction be-
tween objection to religion and oppO-
sition to pOlygamy, or any social evil
which is or may be injurious to the

which entirely obliterate this distinc-
ton The Mormon faith may be even
absurd. but its disciples have all the
rights which belong to other Ameri-
cans.
Religious organizations are not di-
rectly interested in politics in this
country and probably never will be

The republican national platform
lodges the question of polygamy, one
of the twin relics of barbarlSm de-
nounced in the first republican national
platform. The republican leaders are
fearful of offending the Mormons VINO
hold the balance of power in Utah. Ne
yada. Idaho and Wyoming. The moral
issue involved cuts no figure Wheh
weighed in the balances with the cleo
toral votes of those four states 1t IS
a safe bet that in return for the Nor
mon support Apostle Smoot will get
his seat in the United States senate
without much trouble. The lnVestga-
ton of the influence of the Mormon
church upon politics begun with such
flourish of trumpets was for election
nurposes only and it will be allowed
to drop soon after election day.

NURSING MOTHERSt

A richer milk than milk"
is good food for nursing
mothers. SCOTS Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro-
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. If
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it a success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
SCOTS Emulsion. The same
remedy brings new strength
and nourishment to both.

ious mistake IN excluding the lands
from settlement. OuI senators and
representatives at Washington
lould use every eadeavor to have
the agricultural lands, at least, III
TINS proposed reserve, restored to
settlement. No good argument can
be advanced why any of the lands
in the Immigrant region of the pro-
posed Kootenai Reserve should be
Withdrawn, but it is especially OBJ
noxious that agricultural lands
should be thus tied up. They
should be ieopened for settlement
at once so that settlers might enter
them this spring.

THE wording of the call issued
by Chairman Gooding is creating
considerable discussion. The call
invites sail other electors without
regard to past political affiliations"
t. participate at the primaries.
This is pointed out to be in con-
flict with the. new primary law
passed at the last session of the
legislature, which says "it is unlaw-
tul for any person who was not
Affiliated at the last general election

such primary election" 1t has
been suggested that perhaps Mr.
Gooding followed the phraseology
Of previous calls, and overlooked
the point.

ORDERED SOLD.
Judge Steele Orders the Sale of the
American Eagle Mine.

The MINING News is in receipt
of a letter from P. E. Stookey
wherein he states that the Amer
lean Eagle mine has been ordered
sold to satisfy claims of various
creditors. Mr.. Stooley, who is
receiver, had not received official
instructions at the time the letter
was written, although he was
expecting such by the first mail.
1t is fortunate for those wishing
to bid on this property that the
sale was ordered at this time, as
it will give them the opportunity
to examine the property before
snow fall will cover the surface.
The sale will be advertised four
weeks at least prior to the final
consummation.
This property had an eXcep-
tional record as a producer prior
to its wreck, having produced
according to Inspector Bells re-
port, in one year one-twenty-
eighth of the gold output of the
state for 1903. The property bas
not been prospected below the
water level, although the richest
ore found in the mine was on the
lower level. R. M. Sherman told
the writer frequently that it was
his earnest desire to sink, but
that the directors would not al
low him. D. M. Evans, the last
manager, expressed the same de-
sire and complained of the same
restrictions. Both gentlemen, as
well as many experienced miners
who worked there, expressed the
utmost confidence in the ultimate
recuperation of the property
under proper management.

county's vast mineral resources;
obviously then, increased activity
here will mean increased demand
for the products of the farm.
You people will want flour, you
will want bacon and beef, the
products of the dairy, the garden,
and that road would bring Camas
prairie closer to you than any
other market, except the Clear
water country, and there need be
no rivalry between those two
sections because the enlarged
market would very readily take
up the surplus of both, and will
doubtless need more.
Mr.. Johnson disclaimed any in
tention of speaking for Grange
vile as whole, but merely as
private citizen Of that town, Civ
ing his views of an enterprise
which, in his opinion, would work
to the benefit of his town and
county. He pointed out the fact
that Grangeville already had a
road into the "cove" which might
with comparatively little expense
be extended on to Cougar creek,
where it would intersect the pro-
posed state road from Harpster
at a point twenty miles from the
county seat.
Mr.. Johnson is one of Sheriff.
Seay's most efficient deputies;
his mission in Elk being to sell
for debt the personal property of
the Galena Greek Mining COM
pany, corporation whoes days
were troubled and, fortunately
for the district, were few.

THE SOUTH FORK ROAD
And Its Benefits to Grangeville and MT. Idaho
as Seen by Henry Johnson
Has Been Resident of and Identified with Crangeves
ests for Fifteen Years-Such Road would Benefit
the County at Large.

A community's friendliness or
hostility to a given enterprise,
project or line of thought is gen.
orally manifested by the attitude
Of that community's newspapers.
For example, the unanimous and
deafening silence of the Grange
vile papers on the question of
building a wagon read up the
south fork of the Clearwater has
been interpreted by the mining
districts as indicating that towns
hostility to the enterprise. 1t,
therefore, gives the MINING News
the most sincere satisfaction to
be able to say that this interpre-
tation is not entirely correct, as
witness Mr.. Johnson's views of
the project.
Said he: Il fail to see wherein
the mining camps are justified in
pre-supposing that Grangeville is
or will be hostile to the proposed
wagon road up the south fork of
the Clearwater, or where Grange
vile would be justified in taking
the position that such a highway
would work to her injury, even
temporarily. AS l see it, our
town has absolutely no foothold,
commercially, in this section at
this time, and that highway
would place her in position
where she would get at least some
of the business here, and that
too, without losing any Of her
present territory. There is no
question, I believe, but that such
a road is necessary for the proper
and speedy development of this

Mr.. Baily states that the con-

which the Lewiston people are
interested to the extent of lib

best investments the Lewiston
people have ever made. The trail
is the lowest pass into the Big
Creek country, is about forty
miles shorter than any other
