Look at the situation the solemn
promises of the Mormon church
HAVE BEEN VIOLATED to such an
extent that the PEOPLE ARE
AROUSED and are demanding that
the church shall face about, live up
to its promises and make an end of
the INTOLERABLE CONDITIONS
that have been created. 1t was prom
ised that the practice of polygamy
should cease and that the church
would not dictate to its members in
political affairs. BOTH PROMISES
HAVE BEEN VIOLATED. The
breaking Of the promise WITH RE-
SPECT TO POLYGAMY is so NO
TORIOUS THAT NONE NEED
NEEDS TO BE REMINDED OF
THE PROOF. The church elected
Tom Kearns as senator from Utah,
and then elected one of its own apos-
ties as his colleague. it has meddIed
in politics IN A HUNDRED WAYS
whenever it has SUITED ITS PUR-
POSE. In Idaho it has interferred
through its political agent here.
That is the we'll settled belief of our
people. That agent has gone on from
year to year, using the name of the
church for political purposes; the
church has done nothing to put an
end to the practice. and the people
have become entirely satisfied that
his actions had the full approval Of
the church.
Look at the conditions in this state
that have arisen as result of the
BREAKING OF THE PROMISES OF
THE CHURCH, THERE ARE
SCORES OF POLYGAMOUS FAM
lilies IN IDAHO, AND THE NUM-
Der is CONSTANTLY INCREAS-
ING. NO EFFORT is MADE BY
THE CHURCH TO PUT AN END
TO SUCH CONDITIONS; on the
contrary, 1T ENCOURAGES THE
PRACTICE. 1T HAS BEEN I'M
POSSIBLE TO SECURE THE EN-
ACTMENT OF LEGISLATION FOR
THE PUNISHMENT OF THOSE
GUILTY OF POLYGAMOUS PRAC-
TICES that has been because the
Mormon members of the legislature
have opposed such legislation and
succeeded in making such trades that
their wishes have prevailed We
have had our election law emasculat-
ed until there is NOTHING ON THE
STATUTE BOOKS TO PUT THE
PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITU-
TION INTO EFFECT which denies
polygamists the right to vote. At ev-
cry point where the interests of po-
lygamy are touched, there the hand
of the church has always been extend

TRY TO BLOW UP BRIDGE.
Bandits Led by japanese Repulsed
Northeast of Moukden.

Moukden. June 25.-Last night one hundred
Chinese bandits, excellently armed and equipped
and led by japanese officers. attempted to blow
up with dynamite the bridge the Koulau
River. three miles south of Kerson and 127
miles northeast of Moukden. The attack was
repulsed by border scouts.
According to the Inhabitants of the vicinity
there have been numerous previous attempts to
destroy this bridge. The bandits are said to
fight splendidly and to be entirely different from
the Ill organized brigands Of 1900
