The Cancer Of Mormonism.

The political dangers Of Mormonism
are not confined to Utah. They exist
In every state where a considerable
number of the members of the church
are found. Soon the gentle politicians
from more states than Idaho will be
making pilgrimages to Salt Lake City
before election to find out what shame
ful concession will buy the support of
the hierarchy. Here is a cancerous
growth which should be cut before it
can spread. One does not like to con-
template the possibility of the presi-
dent and apostles of the Mormon
church controlling the legislation and
representatives of a group of states in
the far West and determining, per-
haps, the result of a presidential cleo

RUSSIANS IN THE NORTHWEST.

Among the interesting information
carefully hidden in the mass of matter
included in the census report there is
an item Of more than ordinary con-
temporary interest which shows the
number of Russians and Japanese in
the United States. There are 424.365
native Russians in this country and
1880 japanese. Minnesota includes in
its population 5,907 Russians and So
japanese. Many of those enumerated
as Russians are Jews, and Russian
only by nativity. North Dakota has
1927 Russians, most of whom are
Muscovites and agricuiturists, while
South Dakota has 1885 There are
more Japs in North Dakota than in
Minnesota, the figures being 14S and
5S respectively South Dakota shell
tered but one Jap when the census was
taken.
1t may be considered remarkable
%L'eNt iAAC OohSAUSl dp1S proportion OF
Russians to the entire population of
North Dakota has not made itself felt
in the economy of the state, but as a
matter of fact the Russian farmers are
still too much engaged in the work Of
opening UP new. lands and establishing
homes for their families to have en-
tered much into the spirit of the coun-
try. They are a frugal and hard-work-
ing people, but are still limited greatly
by the traditions of the old country
and their ambitions have not materI-
ally broadened. In some of the coun-
ties along the line of the 500 their
power is beginning to be felt in poll,
tics, but it is to be doubted if they will
ever have to be reckoned with as an
element of political unity. The fran
chise is new to them and they are
likely to be assimiIated before they
mass as distinct unit in the popula-
ton. Their lack of political spirit is
evidenced in the fact that there is no
proof of their nationality or their pres
ence in the state in the expressed sym
pathies of the. people of North Dakota
with the Japanese in the present war.

The Next Cotton cron

StiH, it will astonish us if $4,000 900
pales or cotton are grown in the United
states this season. 1t is one thing to
plant cotton and another thing to har-
vest It. In our opinion it would be
scarcely less Injurious to the South to
raise a million bales less than the con-
sumptive demand than a million bales
more, and shall be glad indeed if this
seasons cotton crop approximates the
demand. 1t does seem that with a lee
way of about 10000 bales-the diff
ference between last years yield and
the estimated demand of this year
there could be little possibility of more
than meeting the demand Safety lies
In approximating it, and this is what
the Constitution believes is going to
be done this season. and in the future.

policy of the United States to main
tain tariffs discriminating effectually
against the republics to the south.
Holding the peoples of South America
cheaply, we have in effect given them
standing notice that we do not care to
do business with them. Already
estranged by racial ties, these peoples
have been made to feel that we are OPP
posed to them. There has been much
talk of the disposition of the United
States to protect the southern repub-
lies from European aggression. We
have shouted about our eagerness to
maintain the Monroe doctrine until
many of us have come to believe that
we are the real friends in need of the
Latin republics.
But while making bombastic speech
| es, and even, at times, rising to the
strenuous point in our declared inten-
ton of keeping off foreign invaders,
we have done nothing for the real de-
velopment of cordial relations with the
| peoples we have been patroniZing.
| With the Monroe doctrine on the ma
tional shoulder as a chip the United
| States has been looking for trouble
when it would have been the easiest
thing in the world to bind South
America to us by ties of interest. We
| have permitted the Germans and Eng
| lish to dominate the South American
| markets almost to the exclusion of our
own merchants when the exercise of
some trifle of business sense in our for
eign dealings might have made South
America our best customer.
The Latin American peoples must
come to us eventually, and the forma-
ton of an antagonistic union cannot be

But the fact that it is being organized

SAW THEIR MISTAKE.

AIC tONAOll VI lLlC INCpuOlICdii COIl-
vention in the state of Washington held
recently is instructive. Ever since
commercial developments began upon
Puget sound and agricultural and lum-
bering interests grew great in different
parts of the state, there has been the
usual conflict with the agitator and the
demagogue. He persuaded the people
to place the Populists in power for a
time. Then, with the return of pros
swung over to Republicanism once
more.
During these years the states we'll
being was amply safeguarded against
the very corporations that were SO
furiously assailed. The state legisla-
ture has power, of course, to regulate
freight rates, and that power was free
ly exercised. Freight rates in Wash
ington We're made reasonable in COM
parison with those charged elsewhere,
while at the same time the railroads
did immense work in aiding to settle,
as well as to open up the state Every
body was reasonably well satisfied, and
the whole state was prosperous.
Soon after the last election the Re-
publican lieutenant governor succeeded
to the executive office by the governors
death. He at once took up the stock
issues of lighting the railroads. He
pursued the same tactics that have
been followed in Minnesota, and for
the same purpose. He sought to main
tain in power a constituencies ring of
his own personal adherents by abusing
| the corporations. He .endea1ored to
force a railroad commission bill upon
the legislature. which would enable
him to bleed the railroads at pleasure
and for nearly four evil years has kept
the state tor1@ up and done it's indus
tries all the damage possible.
The people of Washington are an in
telligent lot. They saw where their
interests lay. They looked through the
1
| specious performances of the dema-
gogue. They realized that the best
! builders of the commonwealth today
were the railroad interests, and found
| upon inquiry that they were playing
fair with the people. They understood
that to carry on this fight against
agencies which We're ready and desir-
Gus of cooperating with them was to
assail the prosperity of the state, to
retard its commercial development and
to win out Of this loss no gain for any
body except the ambitious, selfish and
interruptions politician. They have
therefore, turned him down.
They have declared in this still
young and comparatively undeveloped
community against the agitator and
the demagogue. They have ranged
themselves with the interests that are
at work to enlarge and adorn their fu-
ture. The miserable wrangling of pro-
corporation and anti-eorporation has
been dismissed for the present from
their politics. Every man in the COM

PENSION ORDER is
DEFENDED BY WARE
Commissioner Says the Taxpayers Will
Not Perceive the Difference.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 13.-Eugene F..
Ware, United States commissioner of
pensions, reached Topeka today. Rel
ative to the new age order of the pen
sion bureau, he said:
applications for pensions under the
new age order are now coming in /
presume 5000 are already on file.
Many of them have filed under the
mistaken idea that the age order means
that the claimant will receive a second
pension; that is, if the claimant is al
ready receiving a pension and is over
sixty-twO that he is entitled to an
other. Nevertheless the number of ap-
plicants so far who will have their pen
sions raised 81 a month is probably
10000 The amount which this order
will cost the government has been
grossly exaggerated. The great death
rate among old soldiers will keep the
pension roll in such shape that the
increase in pension payments will not
be perceptible to the taxpayers"

A HOPELESS CAMPAIGN.

1t must now be very apparent even
to the most enthusiastic of the sup
porters of the Hearst movement that
they are attached to lost cause. The
result of the Indiana convention makes
it certain that Hearst cannot possibly
is no longer a factor to be reckoned
with in the national convention-eX-
cept perhaps through the medium of
a few delegates who will, when the
time comes, align themselves for the
chosen candidate. 1t has long been
obvious to those Democrats who
viewed the situation dispassionately
that the Hearst boom would explode
when it was put to the touch in one
of the debatabIe states of the middle
West. The managers of the New
Yorker made a hard fight in the
Hoosier state. They hoped to. carry
the state perhaps. Certainly they
hoped to make a creditable showing.
But they were so thoroughly defeated
that those hopes We're destroyed alb
solutely.
The condition at which Hearst's
campaign has arrived should appeal to
those Minnesota Democrats who have
declared themselves in favor of his
candidacy. We assume that they are
primarily Democrats. They must yum
derstand the faulty of being tied to a
cause that is already lost. Mr., Hearst
represented no elemental principle of
Democracy that will be lost in his de-
feat. Why then should they not now
take steps to strengthen the Demo-
cratic organization in the state and
get together in support of a candidate
who can win? They must know that
Hearst cannot possibly be nominated;
it is admitted by his supporters that
if he could be he would not be elected.
The time is ripe to give over contend
ing in behalf of man who was merely
a ename-and not a name to conjurs
with.
The time is ripe for the Democrats
of Minnesota to get together and form
an effective body for representation in
the national convention. Such a POI
litical condition has been created in
this state that political revolution
is impending. The Republicans are
hopelessly divided and on such lines
marked by such rancor, that they can.
not be united. The state will be car
ried by a Democratic candidate fol-
governor. Let us put aside the pursui,
of chimeras and settle down to the
business proposition of carrying Min
