Why She Didn't Got the Letter

l
| Mile. Duval, until recently head OF
| the French department Of Smith Col
ilege, spent one summer in tiny coun
very much worried as the days passed
because she did not receive an ex-
pected letter from France. Every
morning and every evening she would
| inquire of the postmaster if there were
a letter for Mile Duval, and each time
he would sake his head solemnly, after
he had shuffled thru package OF mail.
When two weeks had passed, she
became almost desperate with worry,
and sat down to write a letter to
I, France, asking what was the trouble.
She mailed her letter that evening and
asked the usual question. AS usual,
the postmaster shook his head. Then a
sudden thought struck her. Have
you any uncalled for letters?" she
asked.
"Oh, yes; yes, indeed" said the
postmaster. pompuously. 'but they
amt any OF 'em yourn." Then he
launched into little discourse on un-
called for letters and concluded with
why. sometimes l have a letter for
a week before 1t is called for. I've got
one now I've had for two weeks. ami
there amt nobody asked for it. AS
near as can make out, it's addressed
to Mile Devil"
Its mine,' declared Mile. Duval,
but it took her fully fifteen minutes to
convince the postmaster that Mile.
was an abreviation for Mademoiselle.
and that the name "Duval" may easily
appear to be something else, If not
written carefully

Probable Results
caldwell Tribune.)

The testimony given before the
senate investigation committee in the
Reed Smoot case. by Joseph H. Smith,
president of the Mormon church. may
be in the nature OF startling revela-
ton" to people unacquainted with the
| situation in Utah. But to the moder-
ately VII informed there is nothing
startling. nothing extraordinary about
it. Indeed it has been matter of COM
mon repute that those Mormons who
had contracted polygamous relations
prior to the manifesto We're maintain
ing those relations undisturbed. And
it was the general understanding that
there was no desire to disturb them.
There are in fact. good reasons for be-
lieving that there was an understand
ing. amounting to compact. to that
effect.
We believe, and the evidence in sup
port of the belief is abundant. that this
poly gamy question had been permit
ted TO die peaceably. had not political
motives inspired interested individuals
to stir it up. The real offense charged
against polygamist is not that they
cohabit with too many women, but
that men prominent in the Mormon
church seek high political Office. Were
Reed Smoot an elder instead of an
apostle, there would be no question
Of his title to seat in the United
States senate; there would have been
no investigation, and there would have
been no opportunity for some Idaho
newspapers to pretend establishment
and assume an attitude of righteous
Indignation.
However, the president of the Nor
mon church has told in Washington the
facts which the people of Utah and
Idaho very generally knew to be true.
The immediate result may be the I'M
seating of Senator Smoot. and con-
siderable renefal of anti Mormon agi-
tation. In Idaho we may expect to
see Mormonism made political issue
which will put to the test the SIM
certify of good many politicians. If
we may Judge from present appear
ances, we would say that the demo-
cratic party of this state will pose as
the anti Mormon organization. and
will thus secure the sympathy and sup
port of. many republicans, unless the
republican party should become as en-
phatically anti Mormon as the demo-
Gratis.
It Is not yet the proper time to dis
cuss the hypocricy Of any anti Nor
mon movement which may be started
| in this state. It is opportune, though,
to point out that nothing has occurred
or transpired during the investigation
at Washington which was not we'll
known to every politician in Idaho be-
fore the investigation. Nothing new
has been disclosed There IL no more
excuse or justification for an anti Nor
mon crusade now than at any time dur
ing the past eight or ten years. But
a pretext which some have been hoping
for has probably been found. and. the
chances are, advantage will be taken

WHAT WILL FOLLOW THE
MERGER

The forecast of the merger decision
Is that it viii be against the Northern
Securities company and this has led
to much speculation as to what plan
of operating the properties would fol-
low the breaking up of the merger and
the dissipation of the stock.
One of the most startling things sug
gested is that the Burlington will ac-
Quire the Northern Pacific stock to
compensate its stockholders for the
part of the merger agreement, and
when the deal Is consummated it is
said a new era of railroad development
will come in the Pacific northwest
which will give the whole region a
general shake up.
AS part of the general plan of i'm
provement the Missoula cut -off will be
built and the Northern Pacific built
down the Columbia river to Portland.
With this end in view the Northern
Pacific has recently acquired the old
Paul Mohr grade down the north bank
OF Columbia which would go to in
dictate they have some intentions to
carry out plans that have long been
held in allegiance
With the construction of the Missou-
la cutoff and utilizing the easy river
grades Of the Columbia to the coast in
connection with the Burlington con-
nections to the east the reorganized
road would have the shortest line to
Chicago and could make strong bid
.for westbound through trafac. 81
!. With the reorganized Northern Pa.
.cifc~ competing In. the Columbia basir
country the Hartman lines would b,
sohliged to strengthen its business con
'nections and would be forced to built
wherever business justified the extern
sion of branch lines. The Lewiston,
Riparia branch would probably be tn,
1irst Of these because in case Of an ex'
tension of merger agreements an t.

link between here and Riparia woult
have to be made. This may be tn,
