Mrs. White struck the key mote
when she said of the Mormon church,
"there is not bit of religion in it.
1t is simply vast commercial an
political organization. The history
of the Mormon church proves that.
No purely religious body persistently
exercises priestly influence to re-
tain the balance of power in politi-
cal way in any state in the union.

accepted any of the Doodle of Herman

concurrence. About this time the
supreme court of Colorado rendered a
decision to the effect that such legis-

constitutional authority, and the rea-

In Idaho would meet with the same
fate in the courts here that it had in
Colorado, and advised that the senate
drop the bill and in its stead to in
troduce resolution for an amend

and authorising such legislation.
This was done and a constitutional
amendment was proposed by the
legislature and submitted to the peo-
pie at the election in 1902. At this
election both parties resolved in favor

The Boise Statesman is pleased tc
remark:
''Nor is there any reason why the

platform will be lived up to and that

There may be many reasons dem
