NEWS on polvgamy, church In
flnence, etc., Pres. Bulge among
other things says.
"Polygamy among the Mormons
in every phase, has practically disap
peared, and will soon be a thing of
the past without legislation, and IN
proof of this statement | desire to
present for the information of the
public, few positive facts which /
have taken the trouble to obtain:
Senator Dubois has at different
times made exaggerated statements
as to the number of polygamists III
Idaho, placing that number as high
as one-third of the Mormon popula-
tion. In Bear Lake county, which
Mr.. Dubois has beer in the habit of
calling the hot-bed of polygamy in
Idaho, there are but 90 men who
occupy the status of polygamy.
The ages Of two Of them is 42 years,
one is "A years old, and the others
are between the ages Of 5S and 76;
if my word is doubted in regard to
the number Of persons who live in
polygamy in this county, ! refer
you to Rev. r. P. Boyde, presby-
terian minister who lives IN Paris.
He has always been exceedingly in
terested IN the family relations of
the people here, and given much
attention to- polygamy. He is a
good neighhor and will tell the
truth. According to the course Of
nature (the ages of the wives esti-
mated) the increase of these poly
gamous families is not likely to be
such as to occasion alarm. AT the
time. Idaho was admitted as a state
n89o), the number of polygamists
IN Bear Lake county was, on close
examination, found to be 43, and as
to the whole state now we estimated
to be $50. In the whole state now
we estimate the number to be about
go. The Mormon population at the
time mentioned was estimated to be
$4,000 now it is nearly 40, 900.
The offense Of polygalny never
was at any time committed by the
Mormon people III Idaho, but few
people do live ihsIdaho who, long

and blamed the bishops and others
for using undue power. AS it has
been so uncommon practice else
where for politicians to help their
friends at a distance at election
times, so also have men from Utah
come over the line to take part in
politics in this state. 1t is also
true that we are all subject to the
influence of others more or less,
and we must not expect an unatural
condition among Mormons, but they
are just as unlikely to accept advice
against their own interests, or to
lose their independent political
judgement as non Mormons, and in
proof Of their independence in poll
tics, statistics will show that in the
southeastern counties which were
visited by men from Utah, the peo-
pie did not change their political
status in nearly so great degree as
some of the other counties in which
there were no campaigners from out
side. so long as it is understood
by experience as well as by declara-
tion Of church authorities that Nor.
mons are entirely free to vote for
any person or support any political
party they choose without let or
hindrance, the responsibility at
election times must rest with the
individual. The church as such has
never recognized politics as any
part of it's work, neither has it al
any time called to account or cor
rected any man on account of his
voting or political affiliation that ]

Stat esman, writes as to my position

FIGHTING GAME IS
DEAD IN ILLINOIS
Crowd Went to Joliet But Sheriff Was
There to Stop Exhibition.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-A deathblow to
the lighting game IN Illinois was deIiv-
cred at Joliet.
he Grn of the law has finally put the
sport down and out, and the fans must
seek more prosaic forms of amusement
Just before the preliminary to the Harry
Forbes-Tonlmy Moore fight was sched-
uIed TO begin at Werner Hall. in Joliet,
the announcement was made that the
exhibition would not be given. Acting
under the instructions of Sheriff Say, OF
Wall county, officers visited the hall to
see that the mandate was carried out
It was learned later that the warrants
for the arrest of the principals were
sworn out by Prof. Darling. of Joliet
Late last night the Chicago spectators
struggled into the city vowing that they
would never again travel to a suburb in
ihe vain hope of seeing a mill. Battered
and bufeted from town to town the
Chicago fighting fraternity has been
drawn in by a series Of suburban bouts
since the lid was nailed down by the
mayor. That there is positively nc
chance of pulling off any more fights is
now apparent
Corporation Counsel ToInan wrote bet
ter than he knew when recently he is
sued his sweeping Interpretation of the
law. mere WAS little doubt at the time
Dut that the game wa1s dead in Chicago
until the law IS so changed that the ex-
hibitionS can be legaiiZed. No one ever
dreamed. however, that the opinion
would have such a powerful effect fr
arousing opposition to the bouts in tht

Harvey Tyrrell is in this position IN

Mackey and has backing today that he
will beat Mackey two falls in three.
Tyrrell said this morning:
Mackey insists that TO ASK Reddy
Dawson TO meet me at 13S pounds would
be out of reason, as Dawson would be
giving away three pounds. That n,ay be
true, and looks like Dawson and I will
not be able TO get together.
ION the other hand Mackey says that
if L cannot make the lightweight limit
l should take him on for tee welter-
weight title. That 1 am willing 20 do at
any time Mackey will agree 70 make I42
