view OF Mormon" interference in po-
lltical affairs IN Utah was given today
by Judge o. W. Powers, the only Wit
ness before the senate committee on
privileges and elections In the inyesti-
cation Of protest against Senator
Smoot.
Several times efforts were made by
counrel for the defense to show that his
story was based on hearsay, but the
attempts We're met with an array OF
facts taken from signed statements of
members OF the Church, documents
which are a part Of the records OF the
state, aflldavits Of persons present at
various places where the Church iniiu-
ence was manifested, and other eVi-
dence.
Judge Powers will continue tomor-
row.
Judge Powers at the afternoon ses-
sion continued his review OF political
affairs IN Utah, speaking specifically OF
the Thatcher and Roberts cases When
those men were charged with dis
obeyng the rules Of the Church by ac-
cepting a nomination for public office
without first taking counsel OF the
Church"
The witness quoted number Of Of
flcers Of the Church In their campaign
against Thatcher and Roberts because
OF their acceptance Of nominations
without the consent OF high Church au-
thoritles
Among other matters OF Utah his
tory recounted by Judge Powers was
the reconvened Democratic convention
on Oct. 22, 1895, when the question
of retaining It's ticket IN the field or
wlthdrawlng the ticket and opposing
the admission of Utah as a state was
raised.
Judge Powers spoke Of Thatcher's
candidacy for tie senate, and said that
four days after Thatcher announced on
platform opposed TO Church interfer-
ence in politics he was deposed as
an apostle After his defeat an effort
was made TO bring about an lnvestiga-
ton by the legislature Of the Church
that the defeat was accomplished by
the ecclesiastical interference In the
election. This effort was unsuccessful
and. according TO the witness, Thatcher
was made 10 recant his antagonistic
view OF Church interference.
The witness told of two teachers in
Mormon churches and schools being
deposed from their ecclesiastical au-
shortly because their political prefer
ences were not approved by the Church,
and Nicol Hood, who wrote a letter ad-
versely criticizing the election of Reed
Smoot to the senate on the ground
that high Church authorities should not
accept such positions,

Peddler's License Void.

The supreme court has held the
act Of the sixth Idaho legislature,
approved March 16, 1901, provid-
ing for the licensing Of peddlers,
hawkers and solicitors taking orders
for goods, is an unconstitutional
and unwarranted interference with

attempts to impose such burden
upon the authorized agents of citi-
zens Of other states trying to sell
and introduce their goods into this

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION

The Elk City Mining News, in
its. last issue published a very I'M
just and untrue criticism on the
board Of county commissioners and
the citizens of Grangeville, in
which it claims the board, through
the influence of Grangeville peo-
pie, has spent large sums Of county
money to build trail up Salmon
river to Bear creek. We do not
believe the News would intention
ally misrepresent q condition but
in this instance it has, no doubt,
printed what was reported with
out inquiring into the truthfulness
Of such report. The fact is that
not one dollar Of county money has
been appropriated on this trail and
the only part the commissioners
have taken in the matter was to
grant q road district where those
interested might work ont their
poll tax on the trail and be treated
the same as any other road dis
trict. The statement that citizens
Of this place used their influence
with the board to secure the trail
is also utterly without foundation
and it is doubtful if half q dozen
Of our people even knew that such
. movement was contemplated un
til after it was passed upon by thu
board. The News is in position
to do q great deal of good for th'
people Of Elk City, and Idaho
county generally, and, we believ'
it was shown that the Graugevill'
people wish it success by tn
courteous treatment accorded it
representative while here, blu
neither its influence nor subscript
ion list can be increased by tn
publication of such glazing mis-
representation as appeared las
week under the head of ''Unjut
discrimination"
