MORE CHURCH INFLUENCE

Our Democrat friends are uneasy
because somebody said that the
Democrat State Committee sat
down on Senator Dubois. The
facts are that Senator Dubois ur-
gently requested the committee to
assume an anti Mormon atti-
tude, but the committee, be-
ing under the control of church in
fence, refused to do it. This en-
ables us TO somewhat conn rehend
the powerful grasp the Mormon
church has on the political organic
atoms of this State. The leading
men of the Democrat party have
been manfully struggling to shake
off this blight ever since last cleo
ton. Before that there was moth
ing they more delighted in. But,
say, that is pretty kettle of fish
we Democrats are trying to fry in
this State. Because of his having
a tidy sum of money, they are drag
ging forth one D. L. Evans as a
candidate for Governor, and rest
ing on him for the sinews of war.
But Evans is Mormon-not over
devout in prayer and alms-but
withal good, 1.-THE paying mem
Der with penchant for teaching
Sunday school classes, like Rookie
feller. Evans or his brother, which
is all the same, was at that State
committee meeting, and when it
came to discussing the Mormon
question there was a panic.

higher authority than the law OF the
land. From this, we are led to in
quire, Is that disposition peculiar
to members of the Mormon
church? If the members of all
other churches esteem the law
of the land as superior to the law
Of their churches, then, speaking
according to Christian belief, man
made laws are by them accounted of
higher authority than God made
laws.
The following hypothetical ques-
ton is put to members of the Nor
mon church: "In case of a con-
flict between the law ofyour church
and the law of the land. which
would you feel obliged to obey?"
If the Mormon answer that he
would feel to obey the law of the
church. then he is refused citizen
ship. II he answer that he would
obey the law of the land, then he
cannot be a consistent Mormon.
So, there is the end of the matter.
The same man cannot at the
same time be Mormon and
a citizen of the United States.
That may be very just con-
clusion of the business, and if
so, it should be drawn with respect
to all people similarly situated.
Then, let us approach a good
Methodist saying: In case of a
conflict between law enacted by
congress and a law of God, which
would you feel obliged to obey, the
law Of congress or the law of God?
If the Methodist shall answer,
would of assurance obey the law
Of congress, then that man is an in
fldel. But should he say, would
obey the law of God, then that man
is traitor.

country. Out Of sympathy for old
and inirm veterans, the President
injected little life into that law,
and for this, Democracy calls him a
Caesar. Every act of President
Roosevelt, which Democracy calls
cRsarism, has been committed at
the behest of the common people
and against the protests Of the pa
trician class. He is feared by auto
Gratis, hated by aristocrats, and
carped at by Democrats. None but
a good and capable man could ever
provoke such antipathies.

JUDGE PARKER

Since it has become almost Ger.
tain that Judge Parker of New
York will be the Democratic nomi-
nee tor President, our western Dem
ocrats are hailing him as deliv-
erer, great and good. 1t is,
though, a curious and instructive
fact that nobody appears to kno W
anything about this Moses. He
has just oozed into prominence and
popularity as smoothly and noise
lessly as paste squeezed from tin
tube. The principal thing urged
in his behalf is that he is eminent
1y conservative. He certainly is as
conservative of speech as an oyster.
Some months ago strenuous effort
was made to find out what kind of
ticket he had been in the habit of
voting. No discovery has been re-
ported. 1t now transpires that he
is the protege of David B. Hill,
therefore, it is safe to infer that he
never voted for Bryan. Neverthe-
less, it is not known whether he
stands for 16 to I, or against it.
Nobody knows whether he is for
government by injunction or against
it. Nobody has heard whether he
is an imperialist or a sympathizer
of Aguinaldo. 1t is not of record
that he favors or distavors govern
ment ownership of public utilities.
Judge Parker takes on all the Sub
lime mystery of the unknown. and
unknoWable. Yet his name thrills
the Democracy even out into Idaho.
In contemplation of him, memory
OF Bryan and Towne and Tom
Watson fades from Democratic con-
seriousness. The Chicago and the
Kansas City platforms crumble into
dust. The Democrats are filled
with Parker and content with his
profound silence. All that they
now seem to long for is candidate
whose tongue is tied and whose
wisdom is inarticulate. Their
hearts desire is fully realized in
Judge Parker. But isn't it a long
step from the boy orator of the
Platte to the judicial sphinx of New
York? But just now Democracy is
making some pretty long steps.
She is hiking back to Grover via
Dave Hill and Judge Parker.

PEN MAN SHIP

AS matter of curiosity, the writ
er has sought opportunity to exam
inc the penmanship of pupils of the
public school and students in the
college, and thus far has failed to
discover passable sample. From
this we are led to surmise that pen
manship is rapidly becoming a de-
spised if not lost art. We wish
we could believe that this neglect
of very useful accomplishment is
in the interest of civilization, NOR
ais or religion, but we are quite un-
able to entertain any such faith.
We seriously doubt if the acquire
ment of an execrab1e handwriting
ever contributed to the nob1er de-
velopment of boy or girl. On the
other hand we have often found
that it led to sloven1iness and an in
dolent habit of mind. It may be
that the study and practice of pen
manship is incompatible with those
sublime reaches of intellect which
struggle to penetrate the mysteries
OF the infinite. Perhaps one who
is occupied with mental telepathy,
soul transference and the ahinities
OF celestial bodies ought not to
bother himself with learning to
write neat, 1egible hand. But in
so far as our observation goes, good
penmanship has accomplished vast
ly more substantial good than met
aphysics. Very often the hand
writing is an index to the soul, and
we have found that educated per-
sons who write miserably are gener
ally afflicted with some b1emish of
mind or heart, which, if not the
cause of bad penmanship, proceeds
from it.
Coming to particulars, we find
that practically every business man
IN Caldwell writes we'll and most of
them write beautifully. And we
believe that in large measure the
success of those men is due to this
very accomplishment. At any rate,
few of them would have attained
their present position in life had
their handwriting been as bad as
that of the young men now about
to leave school. Parents should re-
fleet on this and determine whether
they are doing justice to their chill !
dren i'll permitting their training in
penmanship to be so shamefullv
neglected. We believe there is too
much fol de rol and too little solid
substance in present educational
methods.

PORTO RICA:NS IN
HOOK WORMS GRIP
High Death Rate and Anem1a in
Island Traced to Parasite
in Body. ... .-... J.,

New York, Dec. 3l.-A letter to the
Herald from Major L. l.. Seaman, MD,
who has been privately Investigating
conditions among the inhabitants Of
Porto Rico, states that the. high death
rate there and the anemic condition
Of the rural population are due to the
so-called hook worm, known, to science
as ankylostoma duodenale,,' which
recently was stated to be highly prev
alent in the southern, states and all
tropical countries. When fully de-
veloped the worm sometimes attains q
length of three-quarters of an inch.
Treatment of 5000 cases and ex-
haustive investigation by medical
commission, extending over the past
year, show. according to Major Sea-
man, that the disease produced by the
worm has caused more than 80 per cent
of the deaths in Porto Rico.
The. parasite is really bloodsucker.
It's development requires about two
months and it's work in the intestines
has been found to- greatly reduce the
red corpuscles of the blood. Some of
the patients examined by the commits
sion showed under microscopic tests
only 25 per cent of the normal amount.
One man had only 13 per cent The
blood bore a pinkish tint. almost as

Washington, Dec. 31-President
Roosevelt today directed the removal
from office of John H. Hail., United
States district attorney for Oregon.
Mr.. Hall has been prosecuting officer
Of the government in the land fraud
cases, and the removal is made in con-
nection with them. :.
ney Hall s removal was made by At
torney General Moody as he left: the
White House after conference with
the president. He declined to say what
charges, if any, had been made against
Mr.. Hail. but added that for the good
Of the service it was believed to be
best to dispense with him, particularly
in connection with the land fraud cases
Oregon the prosecution Of which
has been conducted by Mr.. Hall. K: Is St s :
Earlier in the day Senator Fulton Of
Oregon had a talk with the president
concerning land fraud cases which have
been, instituted by the government in
Oregon, but whether, this conference
had any relation to the removal of the
district attorney could not be learned.
Mr. Hall was indorsed for reappoint-
metn by Senator Mitchell and Represen;
tative Hermann Of Oregon, both Of
whom recently went to Portland, and
appeared before the grand jury in con-
nection with the public Hand frauds in
vestigation. The president took no &C.
tion on this recomm endation., "
The conduct of the district Attorney s
office" at Portland has been inquired
into by the government representatives.
They report that there has been OBJ
struction of justice; that certain prom
inent- men have been shielded and that
attempts have been made to prevent GER

DRAWBACK COMING !.
ON MIXED WHEAT
Shaw. and Moody Practically An
nounce Their Decision to the
- Cabinet.
Grant Request Of Minneapolis
Millers as to Mixing Grain
for Export Flour.
BY W. w. Jermane.

Washington, Dec. 31.-"That the de-
cision on the drawback law asked for
by the Minneapolis millers will be fa-
vorable is assured, altho the official de-
cision on that point will not be rem
dered by Secretary Moody for week
or ten days. :@
This statement was made today by
several persons who are familiar with
the facts in the case and who have been
following the matter closely since the
millers request was presented to the
treasury department.. -
That the question was discussed at
the cabinet meeting yesterday was ad-
mitted by one member of the cabinet.
Secretary Shaw, it appears, brought the
matter up and presented reasons, why
the drawback should be allowed on ex-
ported flour made from mixed wheat,
and Attorney General Moody also dis.
cussed the question in general way
which indicated the trend of his mind
as favorable to the extension Of the
regulations to include that class Of mer-
chandise, but Mr.. Moody stated posi-
lively that he had not begun to pre-,
pare his decision and would not until
after the trust case is argued in the
supreme court next week. In advance
Of the official decision Of the attorney
general, the treasury department will
take no step toward the PRONUNCIATION

New York suny Special Service.
Washington, Dec. 31.--The fight
among the Wisconsin republicans has
reached Washington in the form Of in,
definite, charges against Colonel Sam
Campbell, Indian agent in charge Of
the La Pointe agency, stationed at Ash
land. Campbell is identified with the
Spooner stalwart faction, and the La
Toilette men, angered" at it's aggressive
ness and opposition to the governor in
the last campaign, have started after
his official scalp.
So far their charges have taken the
form Of newspaper reports bitterly at
tacking Campbell for acts which it de.
velops were authorized by his superior
officers in Washington. They relate to
trust funds Of the Indians Of which the
agent has control. The department Of.
ficials point out that the agent is
bonded in the sum Of $300,00 and that
the interests Of the Indians are in every
way protected. -,
It Is evidently the purpose Of Camp.
BELLS critics to force an investigation
at La Pointe, but unless something
more tangible is presented than has
been submitted up to date, no action
will be taken by the department.

New York, Dec. 31.-In the course
Of an article in this week g Independ-
ent, entitled American Perils,' John
Burns, the English labor leader, !, de-
clares that if ever there is social rev
olution in the United States it will
have Chicago for its headquarters. He
says:
~ still hold to my opinion that Chi
cago is a pocket edition of hell except
in climate Chicago may be hotter at
present than when I was there. Yet,
in spite of Chicago g many seamy sides,
the city has many good points in its
favor. No city in the world can make
such short. cut to the millennium as
Chicago, once it makes up its mind.
"Should there ever be social revo-
luton in America, Chicago will be its
headquarters. If the social revolution
be, as I hope it will be, peaceful and
orderly, Chicago will lead that move
ment. AS a preliminary, it will be COM
PEELED to have it's schools, colleges and
seminaries free from the dictation of
wealthy endowments-endo that
